To finally equip and complete the so new
vessels of the navy it is estimated that there
will yet have to be appropriated the further sum
OF VIZ 0So974 making total of $112, 062 1913, which
the new navy as now authorized will cost.
A subjoned statement shows that of the al,
preparations made at this session $G5, i41, O0U
were required under laws passed during the
F1fty-first congress; that only $4,574,1s1 were
appropriated by the first session of the Fifty
nrst congress under those laws: that of the APP
preparations made during the two sessions of the
last congress s175 1885, 6lS were the result of those
laws. and that only 1920 gil were appro-
prlated at both sessions of the Fifty-frst con-
gress under those laws which it passed entaling
such enormous obligations upon its successors.
During the present session of congress the
salaried list of the government has been
duced by more than 900 in number and
$780, 900 in annual cost and salaries have
been reduced than increased.

to be done under the circumstances. They
are all positive that Maj. Brown was in
command at the battle.
Much of the evidence in favor Of Maj.
Brown, Gen. Sbley's official report, Maj.
Browns and Capt. Andersons reports,
statements Of Judges Flandrau and Egan
and quotations from all the reliable his
tories of the Sioux war; etc., was publish
ed in the Pioneer Press on June 4. Since
then Gen. Sibley's field book of the cam
paign, statements in the adjutant-generaps
reports and letters from Capt. Swan, DR..
Daniels, Capt. Anderson and others, have
been received, all of which corrobor-
ate the evidence already adduced. Some of
the evidence, of course, is disputed by
Capt. Grant, who has succeeded in having
his name inscribed on the monument as
having been in command.
The application to restrain the commits
sion from locating the monument on the
fair grounds came too late, the attorney
general says, as the monument is partially
erected and the date for the dedication set.
He sees no reason why any errors which
may exist may not be remedied by the next
legislature if the matter is properly taken
before it.
The attorney general considered it I'M
necessary to examine the evidence in the
case, and does not express any opinion as
to the facts, which he considers are a
proper subject for legislative inquiry.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS,
Advices show That the Wheat Yield
Will Run Much Ahead of What
Was Anticipated-ThcH Hay Crop SO
Poor That Farmers Will Not Have
Enough to Feed With-The Drouth
Is Practically Broken.

The weekly state crop report, issued yes
terday from the weather bureau in this city,
says:
The week was warmer than usual with
a deficiency in rainfall, but fairly good
showers on Friday practically broke the
drouth in most places The condition of
the growing crops, and especially pastur-
age, is better than it was a week ago. The
small grain harvest is nearly finished, and
many are through stacking. Threshing re-
suits show larger yields than were antici-
pated, owing to the generally short straw
and rather thin stand The hay crop is
light and mostly secured. The poorest was
the tame hay and wild upland; the marshes
generally yielding fairly well. A few coun-
ties report the amount secured to be INSULT
cient for home use. The short paSturage
has driven the farmers to unusual methods
of economy in feeding stock Some are
cutting slough grasses; others are cutting
and binding corn while some are using
straw, the latter being clean and bright
and if cut little green makes a good sub
stitute for hay. In Renville and adjoining
counties where the high winds shelled the
wheat SO badly, it is being plowed under
in the hopes that, the season being early
it's sprouting will make good pasturage
Glover and timothy seed will be scarce
The grass in the meadows. except clover
cut as late as last June, has not re-
sprouted, and a small second crop is all
that is expected Buckwheat in Winona
county is reported in poor shape. The
Dutchess apples are rpening in the south
ern part of the state and a fair yield will
be gathered. In Stearns county the wild
blackberries, generally SO plentiful, are al
most a failure this year. The condition of
and potatoes has improved somewhat
but the rains came too late for any yery
marked change to take place.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 1S.-The settling of the
Birch Coulie monument difficulty will prob
ably be left to the next legislature Attor-
ney-General Childs has written to Gen.
Sanborn, declining to begin injunction pro-
ceedings against the monument commits
sioners to restrain them from placing it on
the fair grounds at Morton instead of on
the battle field two miles distant He also
declines to begin proceedings to prevent the
Grants name.
Joseph r. Brown and Samuel Brown
sons OF Maj Brown, who was in command
history says, at that battle, are in the city
now for the purpose of consulting with
Gen. Sanborn, Judge Flandrau and ex-Gov
Marshall in regard to the matter They
desire that their father should receive what
honor is attached to the battle.
I'VE may not carry this matter to the
courts" said S. j. Brown today, but we
will certainly carry it to the legislature.
1t is shame that Capt. Grant should at
tempt to appropriate what little honor there
is connected with the command of that de-
tachment, now that my father, who took
all the hard knocks at the time, and Gen
Sibley end the other principals, with the
exception Of Capt Anderson and DR.. Dam
iels, are dead. Besides we want to pre-
serve the history Of these important events

BIMETAlL|C CONFERREES.
Gen. Warner Estimates the Losses
Due TO the Years Legislative
laundering at $4,OOO,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE pol
icy to be pursued in advancing the princi-
pies of bimetallsm outlined at todays
session of the American Bmetallic League
conference. Speeches were made by several
congressman and by delegates from various
states. Mr.. Bland characterized the silver
question as solely a local one and urged
that the political battles of the future he
fought on the proposition that any change
of ratio must be put in allegiance until
the full restoration of silver is accom-
plished.
Representative Coffeen, of Wyoming, re-
ferred to the money question as the over
shadowing issue before the country and
advocated more money as the only relief
for general distress and discomfort. Res
toration of silver to all the rights and
privileges it had at the minis before the
demonstration act of 1873 he declared was
the first step to be taken in all money
reform.
Mr.. Bryant, of Nebraska, also made
short speech, advocating unity CT action
among bimetalistS
A declaration was adopted recounting
the repeal of the silver purchase law and
establishment of the single gold standard,
which has been followed by steadily in
CfeaSlnS depression; tnat gold mas SteaQlly
increased in value, industries every
where parayzed, labor is unsteady and
prosperous business enterprises are i'm
periled and debtors made bankrupt 1t is
asserted that there is hope of relief
until the double standard of 16 to l is re-
stored and that the money question is the
supreme issue before the country Voters
are urged to make this issue paramount
to all other considerations in the election
of state legislatures, congressman and
president. 1t is recommended that a con-
vention be held at some central point in
both the mining and agricultural states to
perfect an organization to work for this
end and a committee of five be appointed
to carry out the plan.
At the afternoon session, which closed
the conference, speeches were made by
Senator Jones on "Bimetallism in the
United States Alone" Gen. Warren on
THE Consequences of the Legislation of
1893," and by Representatives Bell and
Pence and G.. H. Parsons, of Texas.
Gen. Warner asserted that the cost of
the years legislation was the APP
proach of every debtor to bankruptcy, and
therein of a constantly increasing number.
He estimated the losses in production re-
sulting from closing industries and nom
employment of labor resulting from that
legislation at $1,000, 900, with shrinkage
of over $1,00o,000 in crop valuations. In
closing President Warner discussed the ne
cessity for making bimetallism the para
mount issue before the country.

ChfldhOOd's Memories.

An old deserted lonely mill,
Where only sparrows live and build
Their homes in spring-tme fresh and sweet,
And where the running waters meet,
Turning the wheel the live-long day,
But ne'er traveller goes that way.
The grass grown path can scarce be seen,
Which in olden time, well worn L ween
BY busy feet, that came and went.
Each on their different errands bent.
But now the mill in silence stands
Alone unused by human hands.
Oh childhood's days! That happy time,
When life seemed but pleasant rhyme,
And the queen of natures bowers.
Her woods and fields, her birds and flowers
All joined to make my life complete,
With friends I've long since ceased to greet.
Yes dear old mill, your work is DER,
The water still with rush and
Turns the great Wheel but all for naught,
For the miller, too, his work has wrought;
And now, with head bent low with age,
He writes his name on life's last page.
Farewell. old mill, and childhoods days,
Your memory ringing with the lays
OF by-gone hours and happy years
Ere my sad heart knew aught of tears,
Or friendship warm grown dead and cold,
Brightens my life grown drear and old.
And now alone, in silence deep,
While shadows noiseess round you creep,
/ leave YOU for the twilight falls.
Softly Ger ruined bower and halls
But murmurings of the old mill stream
I'll hear again in pleasant dreams.
