TO WELLMAN'S RESCUE.
AN EXPEDITION SENT OUT
FROM NORWAY.
Capt. Bottolofsen,aof the Wrecked
Ragnvald Jarl, in
Command.

LONDON. Aug II. Following quickly
upon the accident which befell the
Wellman expedition. the steamer Ragn-
valid Jarl, which was crushed in the ice
off Walden island after Mr. Wellman
and the other explorers had departed
north on sleds, comes news of an expe-
dition for the relief of Mr.. w Gilman and
mis- party. A dispatch from Tromsoe,
Norway, states that the sailing vessel
Malygen and fast cutter sailed from
sliat port last evening for Spitzbergen,
their object being to bring back the
members of the expedition. The cruiser
is.under the command Of Capt. Bottol-
Olsen, who was master of the Ragnvald
Jarl, and who was the first to bring
authentic news Of the loss of the steam
er. The Malygen carries large supply
Of winter clothing aud provisions. The
relief expedition was fitted out by the
consul at Aagard.
On June II Wellman and his COM
panions were six miles east of Cape
Platen, and the relief expediti on
Will approach as near as possible
to that point in order to pick them up.
The Malygsn is the sealer that rescued
Capt. Bottolofsen, Winship, Hyerdarl
and HQyde after they travelled 230
miles over the ice from where the
.Ragpyald Jsrl had gone down.

To Be OF Much Use to the
Crops.
Specials to the Globe.
CRooKsToN, Mimi, Aug. ia heavy
rain fell here last night and did great
good to the late crop. Reports from all
over the county are that the rain was
general. but not so heavy as here. Corn
will prove poor crop here on account
of the extremely dry weather. Oats and
barley do not turn out as well as
expected few weeks ago. although in
some few instances fifty bushels of oats
to the acre are reported. Some OF the
farmers are through harvesting, but the
majority will not finish until next week.
The prospects are that the crop will
average ten bushels to the acre. Some
will run twenty to thirty, but a few
fields ara hardly worth harvesting.
Threshing will begin next week.
LONG PRAIRIE. Mimi Aug. H.
There was a fine rain here last night,
but too late to help out corn and
potatoes in many localities. 1t will
help grazing and stop the fires. which
were doing great damage.
MADELIA, Minn., Aug. 11.-All small
grain is exceptional both in yield and
quality; one of the best crops ever
grown. But corn will not be third of
a crop-the nearest to a total failure
ever known. Flax is good. except late,
and this rain will help much of that
Will not be a full crop.
BRAINERD, Mimi, Aug. 11.-Copious
rains fell here during the early morn
ing hours, giving the earth a good
soaking, which it has not had for nearly
TWO months.

Railways.

WASHINGTON, Aug. H. The Soo-
Canadian Pacific line is the great freight
regulator between st. Paul and Mime
apolis and both the East and the Pacific
coast, and for this reason the attempts
of some enemies Of both Senator Wash
burn and Congressman Fletcher to stir
up opposition to them because of their
friendship for this line have failed. All
the people of Central and Northern
Minnesota in fight of this kind will
naturally be on the side of the company
that makes them independent of Chi
cago. Blu t while no successful fight can
openly be made on this ground, it
Is nevertheless the fact that the all
rail lines across the United States
are going to take hand in the
fight against Senator Washburn. at
every session of congress for years an
attempt has been made to head off the
competition of the Canadian Pacific. In
the present congress radical bill in the
interest of the Pacific roads was
brought in by Hepburn. the preacher
politician of Iowa. Referred to the
committee on commerce, 1t was side
tracked through the efforts of Con.
gresham Fletcher, aided by the chair
man of the committee. Hon. George d.
Wise, of Virginia, gentleman who has
always stood like stone wall against
all jobs Of this kind. But Wise has
been defeated for denomination in the
Richmond district, largely through the
efforts of the transcontinental liueS,and
it now behooves the people of Minne-
sofa TO stir themselves to the end that
no man is sent to either house
of congress who is not pledged to
work and vote against any bill that
will work a hardship to the 500
line when it is willing 10 give the Twin
Cities low rates either to the East or the
West. If the representatives of Mime
sofa at any time become weak on this
proposition, defeat is almost certain, for
st. Paul and Minneapolis reap more
benefit out Of the competition than any
other cities, and Minnesota more than
any other two states. OF course, Sena-
tor Washburn knows that he is IN dan
ger from the Vaccinations Of Gov. Nell
son and the state machiue, but he fears
the Pacific and trunk line railway CON-
btne a great deal more than he fears
Nelson and Merriam. Minnesota has
had one visit from the Pacific railroad
lobby, but that was mild one compared
to what the next one will be in case this
great interest takes up the fight against
Senator Washburn.

indicated desire which has been known
to exist among many Democratic sena-
tors that conference COMMITTEES should
be appointed which would make rea.
sonable conce, 8 ions to the house, agree
upona
Compromise Measure,
report to the senate. and let the senate
pass upon it.
The discussion also developed differ
ences OF opinion as to which body has
possession of the tariff bill, Senat or
Cockrell saying emphatically that the
house had it, and others declaring it
should by right be in the custody of the
senate.
The most interesting feature of the
day was the vote upon going into EXEC
utiye session. Yesterday it was show II
that there was majority of eleven in
favor of continuing the discussion and
hearing the details of the tariff differ
ences. Today the vote was tic. The
vice president cast the deciding vote
with his party. Senator Stewart, who
refused to vote on three successive
motions, ten days ago, caused a tie
again by abstainiug from voting. SEN
ator Murphy. foa the first time, was the
only Democrat voting with Mr.. Hill.
The two Populists on the Democratic
side, Allen and Kyle, voted ageinst that
party.
Another important feature of the
affair was the telegram from Senator
lrby, which placed him line with his
Democratic colleagues in favor of the
tariff bill. The senate proceeding S,
aside from the discussion of the Hill
resolution. were of very little interest.
The executive session, which Mr..
CockrelI said was of "great Impor-
tance," lasted only ten minutes, and
the senate adjourned at 10 p. IN.

YAQUIS VS.. GREASERS.
MEXICAN INDIANS AND TROOPS
BATTLE.
Fifteen Soldiers Killed and Many
Wounded-Reds Lose
Ten.

HERLosILLo. Mex, Aug. 1.-THE
forces of government soldiers that were
sent against the Yaqui Indians are
meeting with defeat in all of the attacks
that have so far been made, and the
Indians, emboldened by their success
over the troops, are committing depre-
dations upon the unprotected ranchmen
with greater frequency than ever. A
courier has just arrived here, bringing
news of an encounter which a detach-
ment of soldiers had with a band of
Indians near the village of Chiltepinos,
which resulted in fifteen soldiers being
killed and large number wounded.
The Indians lost about ten killed. In
formation as to the battle is very mea-
ger. but it is stated that the Indians
ambushed the soldiers. and, after firing
one volley into their ranks, fed into the
mountains. The government will be
asked to send reinforcements against
the YaQuiS.

WEAKENING ON TOwNE.
The Duluthian Not Sure Of the
Nomination.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 11.-There is
some talk among politicians here that
Charles A. ToWne is not so sure of
nomination for congress at the Bralnerd,
convention as his friends had expected,
but that dark horse candidate may ap-5
pear who will at least give him hard
fight. His friends deny this and say
that the only opposition that had been,
feared was from man who has since
given the most decided statements of
his friendliness for Towne. 1t is GER
tain. however. that the A. P. A. element
is somewhat disgruntled, and the local
A. P. A. paper Is out against him. This
together with some whispers that have
come from the western part of the dis
trict, leads good many here to belle We
that Towne ought to be on the ground
attending to his fences.
AS time goes on it becomes more
apparent that Maj. Baldwin will sue
ceed himself-so far as the Democratic
nomination goes. Democrats generally
concede that he deserves a renomina-
ton. and, except for some who happened
to he on the wrong side of the fence to
yet share OF the Offices for themselves
or their friends, are ready to vote for
him.

acres of surveyed arid public lands to

which the house agreed after the irriga-
CATION question had been discussed by
many of the Western members. The
other amendment was the appropriation
of S250,000 10 purchase square owned

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE expect
ed did not happen in the senate today.
Twenty-four hours gave the Democrats
time to consider party policy and plans
to such an extent that they were not
ready to take action upon the important
Hill resolution. which caused the par
liamentary battle of yesterday. Today
the proceedings were interesting, but
they did not reach that high pitch of
excitement which was anticipated.
There was too much talk about the par
liamentaiy points and not enough about
the causes of differences between the
tariff conferees to make the scenes rival
those Of the senate when the first tariff
disagreement was discussed. There
was not enough to whet the appetites
OF the spectators for more, but the final
vote upon Mr.. Cockrell's motion to go
into executive session showed that the
Democrats were going to make one
more effort to pull themselves together.

that many Democrats believed that Sch
