GRANT WAS BONA Eide.

Secretary Decides in Favor of the
Portage Lake Canal.
WASHINGTON, March u.-Secretary
Smith today decided in favor of the
company the suit brought by Angus
Smith and others against the Portage
Lake & Lake Superior Ship Canal COM
pany. The case was brought in the
form of an application to the secretary
to have the government bring suit to
set aside the certification of lands
which 1t had made to the state of
Michigan, and the state had patented
to the canal company as a grant in the
aid of the construction of certain pub
lie works.
The lands affected by the case amount
to 6S,647 acres, and are mostly located
in the rich copper and iron region of
the Gogebic range in Northern Michi-
gan.
The law making the grant to the
state was passed in 1865, and by it's
terms gave all lands embraced within
its limits mot designated by the United
States as mineral Hands,
The contention of the plaintiffs in the
present case was that the intention of
the government was not to grant any
mineral lands to the company, and, as
the lands within this grant had after
wards been found to be mineral, they
were clearly without the grant. Secre-
tary Smith holds that the words of the
grant, Not designated by the United
States as mineral meant lands not SO
marked at the time the grant was
made. A special agent Of the govern
ment had made an investigation and
made the designation as to mineral or
non-mineral character of the lands. and
these designations had been approved
by the government upon the books
when the grant was made.

KEPT HER IN BONDS.
Brute,s Horrible Treatment of HIS
Beautiful Victim.

PITTSBURG, March Traditional
details of the. abduction of Miss Emma
Huston last December have come to
light. Miss Huston answered an adj
vertisement in the Pittsburg papers
for teacher and accepted an offer
from Mahlon c. Stephens, who lived
at Little Falls, near Morgantown, w.
Va Stephens met her at the railroad
station and conducted her to his home,
about three miles distant, which she
found to be little cabin. He excused
absence of his, family by saying that
they were away for the night. AT the
point of a revolver he maltreated the
girl and kept her prisoner for several
weeks, tying her with ropes when he
left the house. Fearing discovery, he
took her to Clinton Furnace, pressing
a revolver to her side as they passed
people or residences on the road. One
night she made her escape and her
cousin, a young man named Simpson,
heard of her whereabouts and took
her home. Officers went after Steph-
ems, but he fed to the mountains of
Preston county, where search is now
being made for him.

constructed. Rev. John Peate, D. D.,
a Methodist minister, seventy-four
years of age, has assumed the task He

home in Greenville, and will probably
begin work in few days.
This lens is to be used in a telescope
for the Methodist university at Wash

DR.. John Peate, much more significant
than any costly column that might be
erected to the memory of the grand old
gentleman. A plate glass works at
Butler cast the glass for the lens. Here
tofore all telescope glasses of any i'm
portance have been cast in France, as
well as being polished in that country.
The lens, when 1t is completed, is to
be sixty-two inches in diameter and

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Even

Col. Grant will take with him a let

FOURTEEN. THOUSAND MEN
Affected by the Observation-Disclosures
Operators Still Continue
Stubborn.

PITTSBURG, March 1.-THE river
operators at their meeting this aft
ernoon decided unanimously to pay
the 69-cent rate until the barges on
the river are filled and while the
boating stage lasts; but the railroad
operators as unanimously refused to
accede to the demands Of the miners,
and will pay no more than 55 cents.
They declare it is impossible to
pay more in the present demoralized
condition of the market and with
the keen competition from the West
Virginia fields, the freight rates
from that section being so much
ciSion of the river operators the en-
tire river district will resume work
tomorrow, which creates great re-
joicing among the men. President
Cairns is we'll pleased. He says 1000
miners will be added to those al
ready at work. He says these, to-
gether with those who have had the
demand granted before, in both rail
and river mines, will make the num-
Der between 5000 and $4,000 at work
out of the 10000 in the district. Sec
rotary Mcbride, of the miners union,

REACH A LARGE FIGURE
According to the Report of
the State Bureau or
Labor.
WAS sUBMlTTEDYESTERDAY
Commissioner Powers Adds
an Interesting Summary
of Conclusions.

The bureau of labor has finished
its investigation of the mortgage IN
debtedness and mortgage foreclos-
ures in Minnesota. In addition to
the conclusions already given to the
nublic it reports that the mortgage
debt on farms used as homes in
Minnesota Jan. 1, 1890, was $S7, 709,574.
MORTGAGES upon other farms approx
mated s., OOO, GEO. making a total farm
mortgage debt of about $99,OOO,Ooo.
This debt had increased in ten years
about So 600, 900 or 81, 900. But while
the farm mortgage debt had in
creased this amount the farmers had
added to their resources $3,S26,69O IN
the form of farming implements and
machinery, SIG, S20,S62 in the form OF
live stock and STAG, 500, S62 in the value
of their lands. The increased DEBT
was no greater than the increased
value of farming implements alone,
and not over 21a per cent Of the IN
creased farm resources Of the state.
If the years compared were brought
down to the close of 1893 the relative
size of debt would appear much
smaller.
THE FARM DEBT
had greatly decreased in the south
ern part of the state, and increased
in the newer counties, being, as it
were, transferred from one section
to another.
The foreclosures in the state upon
city property have greatly increased
since 1880. Thus the foreclosures
upon this class of property in the
years 1880 and 1881 We're 691 in num-
Der, involving $500, 154 in amounts,
and covered 1876 lots sold. The cor
responding foreclosures of 1892 and
1898 were GIGS in number, involving
$14,6S5,63 and covered 17,426 lots
sold.
In his summary of conclusions, the
labor commissioner says:
When the foreclosures of one year
are compared with the mortgages re-
corded four years before it is found
that the foreclosures on farm and acre
property in the agricultural counties
of the state in 1892 and 1893 We're rela-
lively 40 to 80 per cent smaller in num-
Der and in the acres and amounts in
volved than in 1884 and 1885, ten years
before.
. Between the years 1880 and 1881 and
the years 1892 and 1898 the foreclosures
on acre property so decreased that
relatively only one farm was sold in
the latter years by foreclosure where
three farms were sold in the earlier,
and that one acre of land was forecloSei
where two had formerly been, and
that the amounts Of =
FORECLOSURES SALES
had declined so relatively that only 81
of such sales are now occurring where
in 1880 there was 81 of the same.
The foreclosures of 1892 and 1898 We're
relatively, one-ffth as numerous as

The calendar room of the Alice Rub
Der mills was opened for work today
and about 100 men given employment.
The entire plant, which in full force
employees about 1,50O men, has been
idle for four weeks and by the end of

full operation. 1t is announced today
that work will be resumed next Mon
day morning in the Millville rubber
works, three miles from here, and
1900 hands will be employed.

twenty-four years before, in 1869 and
1870. The acres sold were only one
fourth, and the amounts involved one
fifth as great in the latter as in the
earlier years.
From 1876 to 1881 the greatest single
determining factor of mortgage fore
closures was crop failures due to
drouth, blight, visitation of grasshop-
pers and chinch bugs. TIL Sc cgu-e ed for
1876, 1877 and 1878 rate of foreclosure
slightly different from what would have
resulted from the action of wheat prices
alone. In 1880 and 1881 they caused a
wide variation from what would have
been noticed had varying wheat prices
been the one determining factor.
The influence for good of this new
system of farming is so great that IN
1892 and 1898 it overshadowed and out
balanced in large degree the. evil re-
suits that followed the low and fall
ing prices of wheat.
The farmers have so
IMPROVED THEIR METHODS
of farming, even in wheat raising sec
tons, that the evil effects of low wheat
prices in 1888 are reduced to such small
PiOPoi 1AOiio lhdS liCy, tiiC 1iASi OeloO -
acres of firm land foreclosed and the
amounts involved were less than those
resulting from the failure of one spec
ulation of real estate in single small
county like Anoka.
Farmers are able to secure loans
even on poor lands alone more nearly
approXimating the estimated value of
those lands than they could at any
period in the past. Hence when losing
their farms by foreclosure their losses
are relatively only from one-half to
two-thirds as great as twenty or even
fifteen years ago. 7& e.
The situation of the state as a suit
able field for investment by the money
loaner has with the passing years i'm
proved even more than it has for the
average farmer, and hence he can
loan larger amount of money upon
farm security in Minnesota and with
far greater safety than at any past
period of the history of the state
The facts gathered by the bureau of
labor and here presented indicate
therefore that farm mortgage debt
has with the passage of years been
since 1853 gradually though with ir-
regular movement becoming a smaller
and less crushing burden for the av-
erage farmer to bear
