SELECTED HAWkEYE MENTION
WILL AVERAGE 70 BUSHELS.

M h
a 100000. ooo- Bushei Crop OF Oats Prc-
dictcd This Year In Iowa.
4 DEs MONIES, August 2.-The talk
among Des Moines grain men now is
on having 900, 100000 bushel crop Of
oats in this state this year. The
opinion seems to prevail that the crop
is bound to amount to that much. II
will bet 500, said prominent grain
man, shat the crop of oats will
amount to aoo, 900, 600 bushels this year.
Some of the reports we are receiving
are some thing wonderful A report
from Harrison county states one man
raised l2o bushels to the acre and 1t
was Missouri river bottom land besides.
In Calhoun county one man is credited
with having liz bushels to the acre on
ten acres. And there are reports OF
other large yields, although. OF course,
not SO large as the ones l have men
toned. i think it is safe to say the
average yield per acre the state over
will be seventy bushels. This has
never been cqualed before, but there
is no doubt the state is raising the
largest crop Of oats in its history I
have just been up along the Bnrling-
ton & Northern railroad and ! never
saw such oat fields in my life. 1t is
the custom for grain men to gather
md make guesses on the total yield
now, and all agree that the crop is
simply enormous.

THE ROWE CASE.
Causes Serious Apprehension at the State
Department.

.
WASHINGTON, August 1.-Under the
extradition treaty between the United
States and Mexico, neither country is
bound to surrender its own citizens in
answer to demand for extradition.
There is reason to fear it will be diff
fcult matter in the future to extradite
criminals fleeing from the United
States into Mexico, if they follow the
plan adopted by Chester Rowe, the
absconding treasurer of Poweshiek
county, Iowa, and his brothe,. Richard,
who is charged with completely in the
crime. They went boldly to the City
of Mexico under the name of Rose, and
when the extradition papers were
served on them. set up the claim that
they were naturalized citizens of
Mexico. This had been accomplished
by the simple process of purchasing
real estate and electing to become
Mexican citizens. which, according to
the lax Mexican law, makes them
actual Mexican citizens. So far no
decision of that government has
reached the United States officially,
and the matter has given rise to serious
apprehension at the department.

Cen. Grant and the Circus Horse.

The following is an extract from q
curious Japanese Life Of Gen. Grant,
portions of which are printed in the
Century for July:
A year and half later circus-rider
entered his village. Desiring to
see the show, Gurando Kuen, on his
fathers arm, entered the place. Point
ing to the horse, he insisted on riding
it himself. His father consequently
asked the circus-rider to let his boy
ride. Gurando Kuen, showing in his
face perfect satisfaction, rode on the
neck of the horse and appeared to be
persuading the horse to go. One day,
when he was older, he was playing ball
by his own house, and he accidentally
broke a glass window of his neighbor.
Having regretted what he had done,
he made up his mind, and went into
the neighbours house, and excused him
self to the lord OF the house, saying
81 accidentally broke the window of
thy honorable house. have no word
to excuse myself The only thing can
do is to my father tell. a new glass win
dow buy, this loss repay. Please ex-
cuse." This house lord, having been
much pleased with this child's unusual
thoughtfulness, without any condition
excused his sin. Indeed, Gurando
Kuen's heavenly nature is like a SER
pent which has its own nature when
it is but one inch long.

Powers Urging Immediate Evacuation of
Chinese Territory.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 2. Strenuous
efforts are being made by the japanese
foreign officers to have the execution
of the treaty of Shimoneseki and the
evacuation of Liao-Tnng peninsula
regarded as an interdependentq question
evidently with the intention of retard-
ing as far as possible the withdrawal
of Japan's forces from the peninsula.
The three intervening governments
are, on the contrary, determined that
no fusion of these two questions shall
be allowed, it being quite clear that
they are and always have been entirely
distinct. Japan bound herself to the
three powers to evacuate Liao-Tung.
She did not enter into this undertaking
toward China alone. The three powers
are therefore entitled to call fit
execution OF this promise quite inde-
pendently of subject in dispute
between Japan and the celestial
government. They will take active
measures for fastening the definite
settlement of the question by urging
the immediate withdrawal of the army
of occupation

The Deepest Mine.

It has been the undisputed claim of
Austria that she possesses the deepest
metal mine in the world, 1878 feet be-
low the surface at the time Of the great
fire in 1892. 1t has now been surpassed
says The Engineering and Mining
Journal, by the No. 8 shaft Of the Tam
arack Copper Mining Company, in
Michigan, which on December i was
3,640 feet deep, and is now more than
3,700 feet deep, the average rate Of
sinking being about rs feet month.
This makes it beyond question the
deepest metal mine in existence, and
only one other shaft has reached a
greater depth, that of coal mine in
Belgium, for which $500 feet are
claimed. The Adelbert shaft in Ger
many reached depth OF 3,2S1 feet

NEW York, August t. From advices
received at Cuban headquarters,
| Thomas Estrada Palma and Congualo
| De Quesada brother of General De
Quesada, prepared the following state.
ment: '.The Cuban revolutionary
party has received letters from Cuba
announcing the safe landing OF the
commands of Major General Carlos
ROTOR, Brigadier General Jose Maria
Rodriguez, chief adjutant of the staff
of Gen. Gomez, and Brigadier Serafino
sanchez The expedition started from
Two Keyes, in the Bahama islands,
and was taken in sail boats to several
sailing crafts which conveyed the
whole party. Ammunition and arms
We're in some crafts, and the men in
others, this avoiding any danger from
capture. The expedition Of Rotoff and
Sanchez consisted ofs2Ts men, almost
all veterans of the last war. They
carried about 500 Winchesters and
Remington rifles, besides number OF
machettes and revolyers. One boat
carried more than 500 pounds of dyna-
mite, two small cannons and 100000
rounds OF ammunition. The second
expedition under Rodriguez consisted
of seventy-fve picket men, all veterans
and mostly officers. They carried
about $50 repeating rifles, the same
number of machettes and revolyers,
and 100000 rounds of ammunition.
The two expeditions landed on the
southern coast of the province of Santa
Clara"
TAMPA. Fla, August THE long
delayed Roloff expedition. which left
Key West early in June, has landed
safely in Cuba. Col Figueredo says
that not only will the district of Santa
Clara at large, rise in arms, but also
the province of Mantanzas next to
Havana, because both Rolof and
Sanchez have large following in these
provinces Besides this, the large
quantities of arms and ammunition
taken was what the people there were
waiting for. He calculated that in q
few days they will have 6seeo men with
them The landing of this expedition
is considered as serious blow to
Campos as his defeat at Valenzuela.
The Cuban leaders were constantly
afraid the expedition would be de-
tected in its perilous position The ex-
pedition remained forty days on this
key awaiting favorable moment to
embark. That the expedition was ex-
cellently organized is shown from the
fact that during all this time the party
escaped the vigilance of the United
States patrol.
HAVANA, August 2.-Gen. Campos
has issued decree prohibiting papers
from publishing news referring to the
campaign which is not of official

might be the wiser part for the Llb-

than to waste time in whimpering over
the way in which they were deprived

that the late Liberal regime in Parlia-

| THE WORLD IN GENERAL
AN INDIAN WAR.

MARKET LAKE, Idaho, July 3o,--Gov-
ernor Richards. of Wyoming, insists
that the Indians be taught that when
they are in Wyoming they must obey
the state laws He objects to having
the settlers of northern Wyoming
harrassad and frightened by bands OF
Indian hunters from other states.
Indian Agent Teter, on the other hand,
made an investigation for the govern
ment and asserts that the Indians are
in the right and have authority to hunt
in Wyoming under their treaty of
1868. These are differences that can
not be settled by the troops.
MARKET LAKE, Ida, July 3l.-The
first man actually known to have come
through Jackson's Hole is ]. s. Barry.
He says that the Indians are not visible,
and that nobody has been harmed
since the first shooting on the day of
the Indian break for liberty, and that
only Indians, of course, were hurt
then, The settlers are, however, still
entrenched, and the indians in the
hills and canons are behaving in such
a way as to imply that they are ready
to respond to every act. They did not
shoot at him, and he saw none on his
way through this most dangerous part
OF the country. He said. however, that
the man who wanted an Indian fight
could get it.
LANDER, Wyo., July 31.--Judge
Miller has returned from the mines
and reports a camp of 400 Indians
near Oregon Buttes not far from South
Pass City. He says they are unac-
companied by squaws or papooses. and
it is likely a war party. The men Of
long experience in that locality say
they are of the opinion that the
Indians mean trouble.
LANDER, Wyo, August 1.-Two
more men have arrived from Jackson's
Hole. The Indians have killed no
whites. 1t is said there is an agree
ment among the Bannocks, Utes,
Limhi and Shoshones that at the
proper time the government will be in
formed that peace can be secured only
by increasing their rations.
