His eyesight has been restored and his
health is good. Mr.. Gladstone spends
hours daily in classical and theological
study. He will receive deputation

WASHINGTON NEWS. !.

OF the Day.

Washington, Dee. 29.-Upon the fate Of
the two pedding bills it is generally be.
lieved hinges the question whether Mr.
Cleveland will convoke new congress
soon after tho death of the ffty-third, on
March 4th. These two bills are the urgent
deficiency appropriation for carrying the
income tax into effect, and Carlisle cur
rency bill, the fate of which will be de-
cided soon after the house convenes. The
opponents of the income tax led, it is
understood, by
SENATOR'S HILL AND QUAY,
will make desperate fight in the senate
and exhaust every parliamentary OK.
pedient to defeat 1t. Mr.. Cleveland, it is
understood ON high authority, is very
much in earnest in his desire for some
legislation this session to relieve treas
ury and If it is not forthcoming there are
many who believe that he will Immediate
ly convoke the ffty-fOurth congress and
ask the needed relief Of his political ad-
gersaries.
CoMBs TO TINE.
Information has reached the depart
meut of agriculture in dispatch dated
December 8 from Ambassador Runyan at
Berlin that the local authorities at He'll
brunn, Wurtemburg, Germany, have re-
moved the prohibition placed on the sale
of American canned beef. It appears
that the authorities of each province that
imposed the canned meat prohibition
have full liberty to repeal it.
CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.
The government Of Spain, In an earnest
desire to evade the threatened tariff wars
between Cuba and the United States, has
under serious and favorable consideration
the cession to Cuba of the privilege of
arranging her own revenue budget, in
cluding tariffs with the United States.
This Cuban budget 10 to be subjec to
the approval Of Spain. The negotiations
now progressing at Madrid are partly on
these lines, but the state department
authorities are proceeding, nevertheless,
with their retaliatory plans, as they do
not believe Spain's concessions to Cuba
can beHarried on and made beneficial to
10 for some months to come. The sig
niHcance Of the matter in its commercial
and political aspects 10 fully realized.
II IL said Spain will be careful not to
relinq uish her sovereignty over the island
nor to permit this to become the first
step toward Cuban independence.

$4,000 NAVAJO BLANKETS
Have Been bought by the Govern
ment-A GOOD Method Of Helping
the Starving NavajOes.

Washington, Dec. 29.--Everybody
knows that the Navajo Indians make
some of the finest blankets in the world.
They are soft and light, yet they will hold
are little gay, but the homemade dyes
never fade. The patterns are very much
like the Moorish, and were learned of
the Spaniards, who learned them of the
Moers and brought them over to America.
The Navajo blanket until now has been
sold as a curiosity only, but the commits
sioner ofIndian affairs has just purchased
$4,000 to distribute among the Indians at
the other agencies, and has given the Nav
ajoes contract for all they can manufact-
ure next year.
This comes through application made
by Captain Williams of the army, who has
just taken charge of the Navajo Agency,
for 100000 to buy food for the Indians,
who, he reported, were on the verge of
starvation. Commissioner Browning de-
clined to approve the recommendation
for several reasons. The Navajoes have
never been pauperized. They have never
received any assistance frou the govern
ment, and they have always been self
supporting and been the plutocrats of
their race. They own over 100000 sheep,
besides large number of cattle and
horses, and some years ago, when live
stock was worth more than now, old
Manuelite, the head chief, was considered
to be millionaire. He was one of the
richest ranchmen in New Mexico. There
fore Commissioner Browning did not
consider it wise to send food to the Nav
ajoes. He realized that they were ne
doubt feeling the effects of drought, like
all the rest of the people in the south
west.
He informed Captain Williams that if
|. they we're really suffering for food, they
might kill a few of their sheep, and if
they needed money, the government
would buy all the blankets they would
furnish. The result was that $4,000 were
purchased at once; and the Indians ought
to make $4,000 more next year.

THEY PICKED! JOHN SCHMID
The Springfield Citizen will be the Demo

The Convention was held at Sleepy Eye

John B. Schmid will be the Democra-

Lind's Idea,

Yesterday we called on Mr.. Lind to
get his views as to the outcome uf the
Congl lessional contest in this district this
fall. Mr.. Lind said ''Judging ON the ba-
sis of the vote cast four years ago when
Gen. Baker was my opponent, Prof. Nc
Cleary will be elected by upwards of
1000 majority even if Mr.. Long is in
duced to withdraw and if Gen. Baker re-
ceives the entire non-republican vote.
The strong democratic counties of LIE
Sueur and Sibley have been transferred
from the second to the third Congress
sional district since that election and
Waseca has been put into the first.
A comparison of the vote cast in the
counties, now constituting the second dis
trict, in the election of 1890, for Baker
and for myself, shows that I would have
had majority in the district as nowcon
stitutcd of nearly 1000. This is the vote.

Hon. John Lind was called for and
when he arose was greeted with terrific
applause. In the few remarks that he
made, he said that he had been informed
that this convention was to be his funer-
al. but he had enjoyed the obseqd dies and
was glad to look into the faces of his
Republican friends at a time when he
was not a candidate for Office. He con-
cluded by saying that the convention
was not assembled to further the interests
of any particular individual but rather
to advance the interests of the masses
and the great party of which he was a
member. He called upon all the dele
gates to go home and testify to its regul-
arlty and thoroughness, and work from
now until election for the candidate
whom they had placed IN nomination.
Speeches were also made by O. B. Tur-
rell, Attorney Bowers and Jno. N. Jones.
It adjourned with the best of feeling and
with no fears as to the outcome of Their
deliberations. The rotten work of Sen
ator Peterson and his lieutenants was
only laughed at and ridiculed.

Mr.. P1nk's Address.

Mr.. Henry Fink, the German orator,
devoted his time last night especially to
the annals of the Democratic party since
1866, when the Republican party first
became power in national politics.
He showed that under the Democratic
rule of President Buchanan in 1857 the
financialsand commercial depression was
only equalled by the state of things in
1898, just after the Democrats had as
sumed the reins again. He pointed out
that with the advent Of the Republican
party into power in 1861 with Lincoln
as president, began a new era Of pros
perity, notwithstanding the war and all
it cost the country, the enormous debt
it created and the economic zloss in the
men who fell on the field of battle.
