The Situation ut Fargo.

FARGO, April 2l.-The residence of DR..
s. }. Hill was burned this morning with
all it's contents. Loss $500; insurance,
$1,000. The heavy wind had played
havoc with the fire alarm wires and the
alarm could not be turned in.
The Red river fell two feet O .day and
it is thought the waters will steadily
continue to recede, unless heavy rains
should occur. The high winds to-day
had the effect of wrecking several of the
submerged houses, whose foundation
had already been rendered shaky by the
water, and they Aoated down the stream.
Considerable damage is revealed as the
waters go down. That portion of the
city which for ten days has been under
water presents a gloomy scene. Side
walks, fences and outbuilding, have dis
appeared, while here and there a cellar
pit marks the spot where some poor
workman's home once stood.
As the river is practically free from ice
no damage is anticipated, except it is
feared that the Red river bridge will be
carried away. Trains from the south
and east are six hours late.
Dispatches from up.river points say
the river continues to fall.

Consclenceless Newspoya.

A couple of thoroughly disreputable
newsboys, who ! suppose will some day sit
in an e~lectrocutiOn chair and deserve their
fate, have formed a syndicate to cheat the
benevolent.
They find the benevolent people whom
they defraud in the estauran and table
d'hote lairs in the vicinity of Twenty-third
street. They have in their employ the tint.

be out of compassion, thinking that it must
be- a hard family fate indeed that has driven
one SO young to peddling.
The real things that have driven the boy
to do what he does are the pair of urchins
outside. They wait patiently until the
small child reappears, and then they take
all the money he has made. To prevent
him from cheating them they search his
pockets, make him open his mouth to show
that there is no coin concealed there, and
examine his fists. So well does the scheme
pay that the syndicate doesn't have to sell
q single paper, being able to make a good
enough living off the youngster.

learned that the small child receives only a
few cents worth of candy a day for bis

Navajos Raid a Utah Ranch and Kill
Two Cowboys.
GREEN RIVER, U. T., April 25.-Re-
ports have come in from Dandy Cross
ing, on the Colorado river, of a serious
conflict between a band of cowboys and
band of 80 Nayajos. These renegades
from time to time raid the Elk Mesa
COW outfits to obtain supplies of beef.
One of these parties came across the
border last Monday and commenced the
usual depredations. Word reached
Dandy Crossing and a party of cowboys
started to round up the d%epredators.
The job was too big for them and two
of their number were shot. The In
dams got off easily and retreated across
the San Juan river carrying off with
them a herd of cattle. This is only one
of the outrages committed by the Indi-
mi and more trouble is expected to
follow.

Edwin BOOTHS Condition.

NEW YORK, April 25.-There is no
perceptible change in Edwin Booths
condition. DR.. Smith called on the pa
tient at 1890. When Dr.. Smith came
out he said: Booths condition is the
same. He rested well all night. He
takes nourishment naturally. His head
is clear and he recognizes his friends.
His speech is somewhat affected, and he
does not talk much. He seems to real
ize his position, but does not say much
about it. The case is not necessarily a
fatal one, but il Booth has another at
tack he cannotpossibly live through it,"

BALTIMORE, April 25.-The American
In its Washington budget has the fol.
lowing:
1t is understood that President Cleve.
land has requested the American dele.
gates to the international monetary con-
ference to visit him in Washington be-
fore they return to Brussels to be pres
ent at the next session of the conference.
The American delegates are Senators
Alliston, Jones and McCreary, Mr..
Henry G.. Cannon and Professor E.
Brown Andrews. It is believed that
the purpose of the call Of delegates to
Washington is for the purpose of re-
ceiving d expression of opinion rela-
tive to the silver coinage question and
the preparation of some defin-
ite proposition on the coin
age of silver which the American
delegate al submit to the conference.
1t was indicated in a recent cablegram
from Minister Terrell, the United States
minister at Brussels, that unless the
American delegates on the reassembling
of the conference had some definite pro-
posal to submit for discussion and
action. it wa more than probable that
the entire business of the coming ses.
sion would be limited to aformal open
ing of the conference and a formal adj
journment sine die. 1t has been
practically the history of the two pre-
ceding international silver conferences.
Mr.. Cleveland will also ask, it is un-
derstood, the advice of the delegates in
the selection Of the successors to Mr..
McCrearY and MI. Allison.
