A IN PERIL.

Mr. Lenz Attacked by Chinese az He
Passed ON His Weeel.
Advices from Ichang, China, give
details of the narrow escape of the
American bicyclist, F. G. LEM, who
is trying to ride on his wheel across
China and India. LEM reached
Ichang on March % in a demoralized
condition, with his wheel and camera
badly battered.
1t was near Shashi that he struck a
gang of laborers, who raised the
shout, "Kill the foreign devil" LEM
was resting, and before he could
start they thrust hoe handles into the
spokes Of his wheel and beat the
soldier who had accompanied him as
a guard. LEM freed his wheel and
rode for dear life, but was headed off
and savagely attacked by a mob of
farm laborers. One aimed a blow at
Lenz's head with a heavy shoe, which
would have cloven his skull, but he
lodged and received it on his neck
and knapsack.
Itknocked him down, however, and
then he was cruelty beaten and pelted
with stones. He finally reached some
better dressed Chinese, who protected
him for q moment. Though in dead
~ peril, LEM began to amuse the
crowd with tricks on the wheel, and
soon won them over so they allowed
him to proceed unmolested. But for
his nerve and GOODNESS he would have
been killed, as the superstitious Chi
nese really took him for . devil as he
new along on his wheel. At Ichang
the blacksmith on the British gun
boat FAX repaired his bicycle.

From the Canadian Northwest.

The following letter from j. p.
Conn, Sheho, Northwest Territory of
Canada, tells how another farmer has
been ruined by the seductive Mani
Soba boomers. Itis but one of dozens
received and tells its story of distress
briefly and expressively:
SHEno, April 26, 1s93.,
DEAR SIR:-I have written to you
the last two seasons and concluded to
try you once more as I have not re-
ceived any reply. Twill register this
and if you conclude to answer please
register your answer as the mail SER
vice corresponds with the country.
/ will tell you about the luck / have
had. Winter set in October 16, 1882,
and on this 26th day of April, 1893,
we have from twelve inches to fifteen
feet of snow. Over half the cattle
have died. have only two head left
and they are starving. There isn't a
pound of hay and some farmers have
lost as high asa hundred head. This
is the d country l ever saw.
I am strapped and am going to
Dakota to find work. 1 might posi-.
bly, get work down the line, but I am

THE 500
ANorth Dakotan TAX. of its Prospectiv,
HenefitR.

A North Dakotan Talks of its Prospective
Benefits.
Isaac p. Baker, a prominent bank
er of Bismarck and one of North Da-
kota's conspicuous democrats, said in
st. Paul the other day:
"There is nothing new in North
Dakota politics, but the people of
Bismarck and vicinity are very much
interested in the extension of the 500
line from Kuhn, the construction of
which will begin in a few weeks. 1t
has already been partially graded.
The extension will be continued north
of Bismarck SO as to reach the coal
mines some sixteen miles northo of our
city. Here it is proposed to estab-
lish a large smelling plant, the coal
mines furnishing fuel for any number
of shelters. AS soon as the 500 line
is extended until it connects with the
Canadian Pacific, which, it is expect
ed, will be accomplished by next Sep
TENDER, the smelling works will be
splendidly situated in respect to rail-
road connections. The Northern Pa
citlc can bring the silver, gold and
copper e from Montana to the
works, and from there the metals can
be shipped direct to Montreal or Van
couver via the 500 or Canadian Pacif..
ic, or to st Paul, Chicago and all East
ern cities via the Northern Pacific
and the Chicago lines. Under such
favorable circumstances and with
such advantages, quite a town ought
to spring DIP around the smelling
works."
"Wnat is the outlook for our crops?
Why, all / can say is that the present
spring is very much like that of 1881,
when North Dakota crops were enor-
nous. Seeding is practically all done
in the western part of the state where
the soil has dried, but it is delayed
some in the eastern portion, particu-
larly in the Red river valley region,
where the land is still too wet"

SAID BY THE GOVERNOR.
ssCrop Prospects in South Da-
kota are Better Than
for Many Years"
Something Concerning the State
School Fund---O,her Mat
tiers of Interest.

Mtnueapoiis JOurnal: IWenty-S1X
years ago. Chief of Police Smith, of
Minneapolis, and Governor Sheldon,
OF South Dakota, were school-mates
and classmates, away down East
somewhere. Twelve years ago they
met and parted, not to see one an.
other again until this morning. The
Governor, who is on his way home
from Chicago, stopped off in Mime
apolis for old acquaintance sake, and
neither man knew the other when he
stepped into the chiefs Office and in
PRODUCED himself. A portion of the
morning was spent in driving over the
city, and Gov. Sheldon will take an
evening train for home.
"Not for. five OF six years." said he
to a Journal reporter, s'have our
people had as good crop prospects.
The continued rains have put our
state in splendid condition, and we
believe we will harvest perhaps our
banner crop this summer. No seed
ing has yet been done in the northern
counties, where most of our small
grain is raised, but the season is not
late, and we have ample time"
The governor is of the opinion that
South Dakota is to nave one If the
largest school funds of any state in
the union. If the school lands are
sold at the lowest price allowed, $40
an acre, they will bring 500, DOC, 900 to
the fund, but the prospects are that
the sum will be nearer $780, O0, 900.
A number Of sections have been sold
for as much as S25 to $40 an acre,
and recently a section was sold for s75
an acre. The farmers in the state
are in good condition financially.
They are getting out of debt rapidly,
and many of them are increasing
their holdings, a sure sign of prosper
ity. The feeling among the farmers
is confident, and they are generally
contented.
On account of the failureof the leg
islature to provide means, the Cover
nor "a send no delegates to the coal
combine conference called as a result
Of the agitation in this state: but
when the time comes it is possible he
may be able to induce some of the
prominent men of the state to shape
their visits to Chicago so as to be
there at the time of the conference.
He may be able to attend himself,
with some of his staff, in which event
the state will be represented.
Lack of money also prevents the
state sending delegates to the coming
conventions in Louisville. Gov. Shell
don thinks North and South Dakota
will be found in the republican col
umn solidly in 1891.
"The South Dakota building at the
worlds fair" he added, sis very far
from completion. The floors are GOV.
cred with rubbish and the finishing
is not very far advanced. The Min.
nesota building is in about the same
fix. There is not a completed build
ing on the grounds, so far as 1 was
able to see. There are few visitors.
The railroads are doing very little,
and what attendance there is comes
from people who are in Chicago on
other business, and from %Chicagoans
themselves"

STRIP DELAY.
What IL Delaying the Opening of the
Cherokee Strin.

What Is Delaying the Opening of the
Cherokee Strip.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Chief Harris
of the Cherokee nation and his col
leagues, who have been here over two
weeks to perfect the sale of the outlet,
and arrange to place the contemplated
loan of Sc, 900, 900, are becoming restive
at the delay which, however, seems un-
avoidable attending the settlement of
the preliminaries required by the act
of congress before the strip can be
opened to settlement. The trouble
seems to have it's origin in the regu-
lations to be prescribed governing the
seventy-one allotments to be made by
the Cherokees located on the strip and
the allotment to Chief Bushyhead.
The commissioner of Indian affairs is
ready to press the allotments to speedy
conclusion SO that the same may be ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
and published for the information o.
the settlers as required by law.
Serious complications, however, are
likely to arise over the fact that about
200 applications have already been filed
for the seventy allotments and the set
tlement of this question will further
delay matters. 1t is understood that
the Cherokee authorities have not yet
completed negotiations for the s6,0OO,-
900 loan. They are waiting until the
contract deeds for the sales of the strip
shall be signed and accepted before ne
gotiating the loan, for which lively
competition is being made among New
York capitalists. They state that SO
far they are absolutely uncommitted as
to the parties. with whom the loan
shall be placed

MRS. DEPEW DEAD.
The Wife of Chauncey NJ, Depew Pass
AWAY,

Inc Nife OF Chauncey NJ, Depew faSsee
Away.
New YORK, May S.-Mrs. Eliza Hege-
man Depew, wife of Chauncey NJ. De-
pew died at her residence in this city
at 1890 yesterday afternoon.
Although Mrs. Depew was known to
be seriously i'll, this sudden termina
tion of her illness was not expected by
her family and those who were most
intimately connected with her. Mrs.
Depew, whose maiden name was Miss
Eliza Hegeman, was married to Mr..
Depew November 4, 1871. They have
had one child, Chauncey M. Depew, Jr.,
who is now IA years old.
In spite of the opportunities that her
fortune gave her, Mrs. Depew cared lit
tie for society and devoted her time
mainly to charitable and church work.
She has for years been the president of
the Woman's Association of Hahnemann
hospital, and was also connected with
a score or more of different church as
sociations.
During the past two years Mrs. Depew
has been an invalid. During the fes-
tivities at Fortress Monroe attendant
upon the visit of the foreign war ships,
Mrs. Depew made a trip to the place in
the hope of improving her health. This
expectation, was not realized, however.
She became much worse and was
brought. home feebler than when she
left

that Maj. Hudson based his charges on

The Kaiser Uses Some Plain Language IN
Regard to the Defeat of the Army Bill
The Feeling in Paris.
BERLIN, May 10.-After the review of
the troops on the Temple Hofferfeld
yesterday Emperor William commanded
the highest officers of the guards to
gather round him and addressed to them
these words:
"Since we last met, the situation cre-
ated by the army bill has shown pecu-
liar changes. could not look forward
to the rejection of the bill. On the con-
trary, trusting to the patriotism of the
reichstag, hoped for the unconditional
acceptance of it. The result has caused
me deep disappointment and sorrow.
l regret that the patriotic men, who
were in the minority, did not succeed in
defeating those who were Indifferent to
the welfare of their country. During
the last few days passionate words,
which might better have remained un-
said among gentlemen, have been
spoken.
II was obliged to dissolve the reicfs-
tag in the hope that the new reichstag
would pass the bill. am determined,
III CdSC tAio liopC di5o DC oAodPPC1hGCta3
to stake all in my power to obtain the
enactment of the measure, for 1 am too
thoroughly convinced of it's necessity
as guarantee of the peace of Europe
to allow it to be finally defeated.
''We are hearing much about the ex-
citement of the masses just now. 1 do
not think that the German people will
allow themselves to be excited by ire
sponsible meddlers. On the contrary,
/ know that am in sympathy with the
princes of the federal states, the people
and the army. l thank you, gentlemen,
for your loyal interest. My. desire was
to express to you my views concerning
the bill, as I did when the bill was in
troduced."
The speech created excitement and
possibly an. exaggerated view exists.
The correspondent of the Associated
press was assured officially that the
emperor did not wish his speech to be
read as a menace to the reichstag or as
a challenge to conflict.
Advices from Paris say that the feel
ing of elation there at the defeat of the
bill is tempered by the fear that should
the reichstag eject the bill the kaiser
will precipitate events by calling upon
France and Russia to disarm, with the
alternative of an immediate declara-
tion of war, thus ending the compete
ton in increased military burdens.
Another proba ability discussed in GER
tain quarters in France is that Chan
celIor Capri~i.may seek to obtain the
necessary support for the army bill by
creating a frontier incident with France
during the election.
