HUDSON BAY ROAD.
Work on the Road from VIM
nipeg North to Be Re-
Sumed at Once.
LOAN FROM THE GOVERNMENT
The Scheme Has Been Vigor.
ously Opposed by the Cam
adian Pacific.

OTTAWA, Ont, March lS.-Within
:hree weeks, work will be resumed ON
the Winnipeg and Hudson Bay rail-
road, 40 miles of which are already
completed. Parliament in 1891 author
lied the government to enter into CON-
tract with the company for the pay
ment of CSC, 900 annually. ostensibly for
the conveyance of mails, and men and
supplies, in case of Indian troubles, over
$50 miles of the lines between Winni-
peg and Saskatchewan river, but the
promoters were unable to raise capital
in England, although this guarantee
was supplemented by . land grant Of
1000, 900 acres of land, applicable to
the entire 675 miles of the road.
Secured Big Loan.
Negotiations for better terms have
been going on ever since and the COM
pany has at last been successful in in
ducing the government to advance q
loan of 81, 500, ,O0O. The Canadian Pa
cific fought hard to prevent the bar
gains going through, as the line will di-
vert the bulk of the Northwest traffic to
the seaboard.
But the necessity of doing something
TO win the support Of Manitoba and the
Territories in the approaching general
elections prevailed with the govern
ment and the deal went through
Friday.
A line connecting San Francisco with
Hudson Bay is talked Of as an early
probability.

POTATO FARMS.

Pingrees scheme to BE Adopted in New
York on Large scale.
NEW YORK, March lS.-The New
York Charities conference has decided
to adopt the scheme of potato farms for
the poor. which was inaugurated by
Mayor Pingree of Detroit last summer.
A committee has been appointed to
carry out the plan on large scale, and
active work has been commenced. The
plan is simply to obtain the use of idle
tracts of land in, the city, and divide
them up into farms of one third of an
acre for each family. Potatoes for
planting and other vegetable seeds will
be furnished. Each man must then
attend to his little farm and all the
products are his own. The use of sew.
eral tracts of land have already been
donated for the purpose.

Indications OF the IsusI--ss situation
Rather More Favorable.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-R g. Dun &
Co. 8 Weekly Review of Trade says:
Substanti ally all indications of the
state of business are rather more favor
able Farm products are Il little higher,
railroad earnings shade better, clear
ing house exchanges a small percentage
larger in comparison with two years ago
than in February, and most of the in
dustries show somewhat better front,
though their gain is not large. Money
markets continue undisturbed, the oper-
ations of the syndicate still prevent ex-
ports Of gold, and Withdrawals from the
treasury having of late practically
ceased. There is not much enthusiasm
about the situation, however because
the gain is slow and business is long
way from what is considered
Only n Prosperous Condition.
Further, the gain is in some cases due
to obviously temporary causes, and to
some causes which do not make pros
perity.
The higher price of cotton results
from belief that the acreage this year
will be greatly reduced. Wheat has
risen half Il cent because the govern
ment reports only 1000, 900 bushels in
farmers hands March /. though prac-
tically nobody i'll the trade thinks the
estimate correct, and the accepted esti.
mats are about 60,000.000 bushels
higher Western receipts have again
riser above and exports continue below
last Years. Partial loss of the cotton
or rs-SEi1eat crop or q great decrease in
production would hardly be an unmixed
blessing TO the country. Corn has risen
! cent. following wheat; pork, $l.25 per
barrel, and hogs 10 cents and lard 30
cents per 100 pounds.

Three Hunters Evidently Poisoned BY
Theis Own Carelessness.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, March 49,
A horrible discovery was made by a
party Of men hunting in the neighbor-
hood of Ingram. The dead bodies Of
Ed Duffney, John Hanson and another
man were found in an old lumber
shanty. From all appearances they had
been dead number Of days, the bodies
being frozenstiff. Duffney and Hanson
were formerly employed by Alvord as
woodsmen, but quit work to hunt
wolves, using poison to kill them with.
The supposition is that in preparing
supper they accidentally got poison
mixed with the food, carrying every
thing in the same sack. Their dog was
found dead in the same room.

WANTS AARON TO PAY UP.

More Attachments on Account of the
Hershfield Judgment.
HELENA, Mon, March lS.-Another
attachment has been laid on Aaron
Hershfield' 3 property in Helena. 1t was
at the instance of his wife, Dell Hersh-
field, and was for $l,923. The money
sought to be recovered is what was
awarded the wife as expenses by the
court at Fargo, where Hershtield's snit
for the annulment OF marriage was de.
cided in his wife's favor. The attorneys
have never been paid, and the attach.
ment suit is the consequence. Numer-
ous other attachments against Hersh-
fields property We're issued some time
ago, some for the pay of his Fargo at.
torneys and some for his wife's board at
the Helena hotel and medical attend
ance during her illness. The suit against
L. H. Hershfield and wife for $4,000
for alternating Aaron's affections is set
for May. Mrs. L. H. Hershfieid is IN
California, or it would be in progress
now.

FIGHTING IN SQUADS
Cuban RevolutioniStS Adopt
Original and EmbarrasS-
ing Methods.
THE LEADERS ACT SEPARATELY
And Each Upon His Own Re-
sponsibility-Several Good
Strategic Points.

KINGSTON. Jamaica. March ls.-Au-
thentic advices direct state that the
Cuban revolution is progressing most
favorably. Exact information as to the
various movements cannot readily be
obtained, owing to government censor
ship over telegraphic communications.
This was foreseen and provided for.
Each leader of the revolutionary party
fights on his own account, thus distract
ing the Spanish forces and leaving in
perpetual doubt as to where and when
the next blow will be struck. At every
point occupied, the insurgents first act
is to destroy the telegraph, SO the gov
eminent shall be left in the dark as to
their movements 1t is supposed at
Havana and Santiago that DR.. Grillo,
the president of the Autonomy party,
and Urbana Sanchez have fed before
the Spaniads. Their movements, how
ever. are strategic Grillo Is here, com
ing via Montego bay. Sanchez has gone
to San Domingo. The arrival of Grillo
is but the carrying out of one of, the
principal plans of the insurgents. Four
teen other insurgents accompany him.
Active Hut Cautious.
The Cubans here are very active, yet
no overt act that could bring them un-
der the direct notice of the British au-
thorities has been, or is likely, to be
committed In fact, to all appearances,
these visitors know nothing about any
revolution, and do nothing but behave
themselves with great circumspection.
Besides mystifying the military au-
thorities by dark movements the insur-
gents have struck several blows heavily
and with rapidity, each, it is declared,
having accomplished its object. They
were all to secure strategic points.
Many points of vantage are now occu-
pied inland and good sea coast positions
are held, through which supplies are
drawn despite Spanish watchfulness.
At Santiago the insurgents hold a
strongly intrenched position not far
from the city, under the command of
Generals Moncada Quintin, Bundera
and Victorian Garzon. They are 400
strong and well equipped with four
months supplies. Several attempts to
dislodge them have proved futile and
costly to the Spaniards. Moncada is,
or rather was, awaiting instructions
and re e-enforcements TO- enable him to
capture San Diego. At Beire 500 armed
men made a demonstration. There
were 1000 troops ordered to Santiago
on March /. and there was q fight at
Yberra with band Of insurgents who
were driven to the mountains. Twenty
rifles and %, 900 cartridges were cap
tured.
A lively fight with insurgents at
Mocha was reported on March 2 and "a
were captured. At Vequita. 800 rebels
met the Spanish soldiers. There were
II killed and many prisoners taken.
The same day demand was made in
the cabinet at Madrid for unlimited ap-
propriations to suppress the rebellion.
