WINNIPEG, Man., May 10.-A dis
patch from Brandon says that j. w.
SandisOn, the banana farmer of that
place, has fled the country. Last fall
he left suddenly for the country, and
the bulk of the population thought this
was the last of him, as he did several
shady things before going, such a
double chattel mortgaging. On his re-
turn here a few weeks ago he came
face to face with his creditors. whose
claims aggregated some $1,000. AS
he appeared to have lots OF
cash to put in his large crop,
most of the ground being ready,
the creditors agreed to give him a
chance, but a few days ago Sandison
disappeared. A Scotland Yard detective
appeared on the scene and il leaked out
that while in the old county Sandison,
well stocked with topics of chattel
mortgages and other securities, letters
of credit, recommendations, etc, many
OF which were doubtless bogus, bought
right and left on credit as high as 49,,
900 worth of diamonds at one shop. The
diamonds and some other valuables e
subsequently panned off and raised
probably from $4,000 to $4,000
in ready cash. This money he
flourished at the meeting of
the creditors and employed as pass
port to the leniency of home creditors.
AS nearly as can be ascertained he
owes banks about $50. 900, who are pretty
we'll secured by chattel mortgages. He
owes sundrY local people, including
employees, $4,000, and from $4,000 to
SIS, 900 to outside people, including
English and Scotch houses. 1t is said
that. like all enterprising men, while in
the old country he was fortified with
wives, and in his late flight he has for
gotten to take No. with him.

WASHINGTON. May 19.-The royal
train arrived in Washington at o'clock
tonight. An immense crowd was
gathered in the vicinity of the Penn
sylvania railroad station more than an
taches of the Spanish legation were
there as early as z o'clock. They were
the first official corners. The party
from the legation included Mrs. Curry,
the wife of the eX-minister Of
the United States to Spain. Five min.
utes later there was a stir among the
rapidly gathering throng, and faint
cheer as four troops of United States
cavalry, under Col. Henry, from Fort
Henry, across the Potomac, in Virginia,
rode up and formed in long line OH
the Sixth street side of the station.
They wore fatigue uniforms. Secretary
Gresham and Assistant Secretary
Quincy came shortly after the arrival OF
the cavalry, in Mr.. Gresham's carriage,
followed almost Immediately by a
handsome barouche drawn by four
magnificent bay horses. 1t was Presi-
dent CIeveland'S carriage sent for the
use of the princess, and the presidents
box. Other officials began to arrive.
Col. John M. Wilson, of the army, the
commissioner of public grounds and
buildings, wore full-dress uniform in
his capacity as the military representa-
tive of the president. Assistant Secre-
tary Adee and Chief Clerk Rockhill, of
the state department, were also in at
tendance.
Secretary Gresham, the state depart
ment officials and the party from the
Spanish legation walked nearer to the
tracks as the train came to a sIandstill.
The princess was the first 10 alight.
She was assisted from the train by Com
mander Davis. The Spanish minister.
Senor Muruago, was just behind the
princess, but before he could
alight Secretary Gresham pressed
forward and Commander Davis
presented him to the infanta
as the representative of the president.
The princess and Secretary Gresham
greeted each other pleasantly, and then
other members of the receiving party
gathered about them. When the prin-
cess saw Mrs. Curry there was pretty
scene. The two had known each other
Intimately in Madrid. and the recogni-
ton was followed by warm hand-clap
while Mrs. Garry imprinted kiss on
each cheek of the princess.

WASHINGTON, May 19-The state of
Minnesota today lost another bunch OF
swamp lands by decision OF the COM
missioner of the land office, and the
title to 5000 acres inside the Northern
Pacific indemnity limits passes to the
Manitoba, or Great Northern. railroad.
The lands in question lies in Todd
county, around Long Prairie, and are
very valuable. The lands are described
as Northern Pacific Indemnity List No.
25. and the case is regarded as test
Dne. In November, 1883. the Northern
Pacific offered this list at the st. Cloud
land office, indicating its selection Of the
lands under lis grant. The filing was
rejected by tn b land office on grounds
that it conhictdd with state swamp land
selections az to some tracts,
and with the grant of the
Manitoba Railroad company and
settlers as to others. The question at
issue is decided in favor Of the Mani
tOba and the settlers in all but few
cases. The Northern Pacific loses be-
cause, while it was equally entitled with
the Manitoba to the land, the latter
filed first. The lands are in townships
l2S, l29 and $50, ranges 81 and 35, di
rectly west of Long Prairie. Out of the
5000 acres the Northern Pacific gets but
400 acres, settlers about 500, and the
state of Minnesota one miserable quar-
ter-section, the northeast quarter of sec
ton 10, town 129, range 81, and the
Manitoba the remainder, 1000 acres.
This is DISASTROUS Knockout for the
Northern Pacific and the state of Min
neSota, and ina dsmuch as both sufferers
lose by the cartleSSnesS of their serY-
ants, it is so mich the worse. The fol-
lowing settlers| have their claims con-
frmed by the decision: John Nj. Bond,
Ben Webber, John B. Millerson, n.
PaSch, Louis Stocked, Jacob Sursley,
James Campbell and John +. WitherS.
If this decision is not appealed all these
settlers can secure patents to their

that they were suspended pending in
vestigation of charges made against
them. Members are notified to appear
before Gov. Shortri dge May 25 to show
cause why they should not be removed.
The charges are very lengthy. and en-
brace many items. summed up as gen.
erai misappropriation of funds. One of
the items charges that President Miller,
of the board of trustees, sold to the col
lege cow for $40. The animal was so
frisky that no one at the college could
go near it, and at the end of two weeks
it was killed for beef. Another item is
that Miller sold six brOken-down work
horses to the college for $1,000, when
they really were not worth over $500.
The hold-oyer board expresses deter
mination to ''hold the fort" and Gov.

General Managers Still Discuss
ing Worlds Fair Rates.
CHICAGO. May 19.-The meeting of
general managers, called to settle the
worlds fair rates in the West, diseased
the matter all day, and finally left the
matter in the hands of a committee of
seven, which is to report tomorrow
morning. The committee consists of
Messrs. Newman, of the Northwestern; ;
st. Sohn. OF the Rock Islnnd; White, of
the AtchiSon; Ripley, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul; Merrill, of the
Burlington; Townsend, of the Missouri
Pacific, and L0maX, of the Union
Pacific. The committee has no
power Of settlement. and will do
nothing but recommend. Then the
meeting will argue again. There was
strong pressure brought upon the
Atchison today to rescind its declaration
in favor of a $50 round-trip rate from
Colorado common points, but it was
immovable, and under no circumstances
will it allow the rate to be over the fig
ures it gave out in the preliminary
meeting of yesterday. There is no
question but that the Atchison's terms
will be accepted by the other roads, as
it is only choice between the $35 rate
and that of $50 which they will be COM
PEELED to meet if they do not accept that
of $35. The S. is merely offered by the
AtchisOn as a concession to the roads
east of the river. If they do not take
that they will get nothing in the way of
concessions, and the result will be
war in rates.
Several of the roads in the Western
Passenger association are seriously con-
sidering the reduction of their west
bound passenger rates if the Atchson
persists in reducing the tariff into Chi
cago. One way rates will be reduced
to the same basis as round trip rates,
and a general reduction throughout the
West is likely to prevail for some time
after the expiration Of the worlds fair.

A Wisconsin Man Murders His
Uncle.

Rock FALLS. Wis, May 19.-Elias
Hoover, one of the oldest settlers Of
Rock Falls, was murdered by his
nephew. Josiah S. aoover, about 6
o'clock last evening. Elias was about
sixty, Josiah about forty years old.
Both had large families. Bad blood had
existed between them for long time,
and they lived only hundred rods
apart.
Last evening Elias was fishing in the
creek, and Josiah went down to fish
near him. 1t is said that the old man
attempted in friendly spirit to talk
matters over. 1t resulted in quarrel.
Josiah stabbed the old man with
butcher knife through the heart, making
a cut seven inches long and five inches
deep. and nearly cutting off one rib.
The old mar swore at him and died.
Two little BOYS saw the deed. Josiah
walked quietly to the village store, and
said to Dan Chamberlain, the prOprie-
tor: II am IN a big scrape. have

walked to his own home, told his wife

HER JOURNEY,
She Travels to Washington In a
ROYAL Manner.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Before the
rain started from Jersey City crowd
of several hundred people had gathered
about the special train, and more par
ticularly about the private car Wild
wood, which was set apart for the eX-
elusive use of the princes and her suite.
AS she alighted from her carriage and
faced the crowd that gazed in
respectful silence upon the party. she
betrayed the first sign Of timidity, and
for second clung TO the arm of her es-
cort. Commander Davis. So faras her hab-
it was concerned she might have passed
for typical young American matron;
robed in pretty light gray silk with
puffed sleeves, and made in degree of
fullness in the skirt just the
least bit suggestive of substitute
for crinoline. But there was hint
Of the Spanish leaning toward rich color
effects in the small turban-shaped gray
cap neatly trimmed with black lace. and
pronounced red and green feathers.
Just murmur of appreciation by the
crowd SWelled into genuine American
cheer as the infanta stepped lightly
upon the rear platform of the Wildwood
and gave a bright smile and bow of
acknowledgment.
AS the train rolled away the visitors
turned their attention to its appoint
ments. The luxury of modern Amer
lean railway travel was all unknown to
them. and they were not backward in
admitting the pleasure and novelty of
the trip. Added to the comfort of the
interior arrangements was the beauty
of the landscape along the banks
of the Delaware and the SusQue-
hanna, and the many pretty subur
ban homes nesting in wealth of fresh
green foliage on an ideal spring day, so
that the princess finally remarked with
a sigh of pleasure that she wondered
whether Europe did not look small and
improbable to the people who lived in
this great country. An elaborate course
dinner was served on the train, and
so the time consumed in the run to

PRINCESS PLEASED
With the Throng Which Gathered
to Receive Her.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The greetings
over, Secretary Gresham offered his
arm to the princess, and. preceded by
Col. Wilson and r. A. Parke, general
Southern passenger agent of the Penn
sylvania railroad, and followed by the
infanta'S suite and the others
of the official gathering, they
walked down the carpeted plat
form to the carriage entrance of the
station. Outside the crowd was some
thing enormous, and the princess looked
pleased as she saw the Thong that had
gathered to receive her. She chatted
gaily in English with Mr.. Gresham all
the while. The infanta, Secretary
Gresham, Minister Muruaga and Prince
Antonio entered the presidents car
riage, the cayalrymen saluted and the
procession began to move up Pennsyl-
vania avenue toward the Arlington.
The ride up Pennsylvania avenue
was devoid of any specialinterest, eX-
cept on one or two occasions when the
horses became slightly unmanageable,
but were soon brought under control.
Occasionally, In response to salutations
from the crowd, Secretary Gresham
lifted his hat and the princess gra-
ciously bowed. She was seated on the
right of the secretary, facing Prince
Antoine and the Spanish minister, and.
seemed particularly pleased at the.
demonstrations of cordiality manifested,
but kept up continual conversation
with the premier OF tie administration.
