- g. Fl. Anheir, one Of the big wheat
men Of Fargo, N. d., who Is now in
Duuth makes a startling statement con-
corning the grain situation in his
state. "There is not 100000 bushels
OF wheat in the entire state" said he,
when at this time last year we had
over 4,OOO.OOO bushels on hand. There
Is not, l believe, per cent OF last
years crop that Is to be shipped now
In store In my state. What wheat the
farmers are holding is owned by those
who expect better prices, but if they
get 80 cents a bushel they will be
satisfied.

Irish Physical Types.

Three types at least are observable
in the south Of Ireland--first, the dark,
Italian-looking Celt, also found in Dew
on; secondly, the tail, yellow-haired
Danish type, and thirdly, the aborig-
inal Aryan Of the Volga, with red or
auburn hair and the blue or green
eyes, who may also be found in Corn
wall. The dark, aquiline type Of Wales
differs considerably from that Of the
Irish, and the Irish language is nearer
akin to Cornish than to Welsh. The
traditional Irishman Of caricature is
not often seen in the south, though
this type is not unknown even among
the upper classes. The SOFT features
and bright eyes of the modest peasant
women present many varieties Of
beauty, and the mingled race of Cork
and Kerry -fairer, as a rule, than that
of the far VESTS as vigorous. as any
in Scotland or York shire. -Blackwood's

SUNK A SCHOONER. 81 !,
THE sPANIARDs SAID TO DE AT III
e. -% ...al.-.- AGAIN.
An Unverified Report Is Current
That an American Vessnl Had
Been Sunk by a Spanish Gunboat
and the Crew Killed. ..

Tampa, Fla, March 2O.-PassengerS
on the steamer which arrived from
Havana bring news of reports in circu-
lation there Of further depredations Of
Spanish cruisers on American vessels
along the Cuban coast. The latest re-
port is to the effect that the Spanish
gunboat Arcedo fired into and sunk an
American schooner off Puerto Padre.
1t is reported that the crew Of the YES
sci. numbering sixteen persons, per-
lShed. It is not known whether the
schooner had arms or carried an expe-
dition to Cuba. It was reported in
Havana that the schooner had sailed
from Key West. Inquiries, however,
fail to show that any boat is missing
or unprotected, except those engaged
in legitimate trade. Puetro del Padre
is harbor on the northeast coast Of
Cuba, in latitude 81 degrees, II min
ntes north, longitude rs degrees, AZ
minutes west. It has a long and mar
row entrance and affords excellent
anchorage. 1t is not far from the
place where the Spanish gunboat fired
on the Allianca
Washington. March 20. - The state
department has had no informa ton
port that the Spanish cruiser Arcedo
fired upon and sunk small American
schooner off the Cuban coast, and the
report finds little credence here. The
naval register shows that the Arcedo
is a small schooner-rigged iron gun
boat, built in Spain in 1898, and Of
about nine knots speed. 1t is rot
known whether or not she is in Cuban
waters. Other sources of information
than the state department are likewise
without any information on the mat
ter and are inclined to discredit it.

assurance to the authorities that there
will be no trouble Of a serious char
acter between the United States and
Spain.

81 cubic feet Of room in such q box.
and the box itself could be deposited
when full in any Of the principal Lon
don parks, with ample room to spare:
and a cyclist could run around it in
about six minutes, the distance being

Qish standing room for it's inhabitants.
