something New at the Clerks once.

The records at the clerks Office were
never in as good shape as they are at
present. There is now not an inetrn-
ment, paper or filing of any kind that
cannot be found at a moments notice.
The last class of business papers to be
collated, indexed and filed is the reports
of executors and administrators, cover
ing period from 1864 to the present
time. Heretofore one going to the
clerks Office might spend three hours or
more of his own and the clerks time in
delving into the unsystematized mass of
papers, and possibly then the heAsearch
would be fruitless. Minor children who
were orphans have grown up around US,
whose estates were left in the hands of
administrators, and these have neglect
ed their duties, or appropriated the
benefits of the estate to their own uses.
The years have gone by, public interest
in the heirs and their estates have
ceased. and the children have been prac-
tically unprotected. Widows unfamiliar
with business have been held back and
wronged out of their just portion. But
all this is Tow ended. The clerk has
just added new book to the courthouse
records. 1t is entitled probate Regis
ter" and it records every estate in the
hands of administrators. and the date,
nature and present location of every
paper fled in reference thereto. 1t
shows many estates settled up, and
others wofully in arrears. Anyone in
terested in ascertaining the status of any
estate of deceased person can turn to
this book and find out all that has been
done in the matter.
Since Judge Mays has announced that
he proposes to enforce the law calling
for semi-annual reports of administra-
tors, long-neglected branch of county
business will henceforth be conducted in
a more husiness-like way, to the great
benefit of helpless orphans and widows.

WITHOUT LOSS OF HONOR

London Paper Suggests . Way to Settle
the Venezuelan Question.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Westminster
Gazette, in leading article on the
Venezuelan controversy, headed "A
Way Out" says:
while the question, intrinsically, is
not important, incidentally, it is Of so
great importance that Great Britain
cannot retreat from the position she has
taken up, and that the United States
will not retreat from theirs. The only
method of escape from this deadlock,
which shall impose neither humiliation
nor retreat on either side, is to find
something which is not arbitration, but
which is as like it as possible.
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
suggests that both countries agree upon
O board of Cancellation, not binding
themselves as in the case Of arbitration,
to accept its decision, but on
the chance of the conciliators being able
to suggest compromise acceptable to
both countries. a., ..~... A..
In conclusion, the Westminster Ga
zette remarks:
1--WE firmly believe that couple Of
impartial, sensible men, say the chief
justices of the two countries, could
easily settle the matter by this method. I"

SENATOR SHERMAN'S IDEA.

Would Pay Out Gold For Redeemed
Grsenbacks Only.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Senator Sher-
man Rep. o. } introduced in the senate
the following:
Resolved, That by injurious legisla-
ton by the Fifty.third congress, the
revenues of the government were re.
duced below its necessary expenditures,
and the funds created by law for the re-
demption of United States notes have
been invaded to supply such deficiency
of reserve; that such a misapplication
of the redemption fund is of a doubtful
legality and greatly injurious to the
public credit, and should be prevented
by restoring said fund to the sum of not
less than 800, 0OO, 900 in gold coin or
bullion, to be paid out only in the re.
demption of United States notes or
treasury notes, and such notes when re.
deemed to be reissued only in exchange
for gold coin'or bullion"

Cessation Of Gold Withdrawals
May Postpone the Sale
Of New Bonds.
Reserve at Present Slightly
IL Owe. Sixty-tWo Millions
~,E, of Dollars.
Reported Signing Of the Con-
tract Believed to Be Pro-
mature.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-There were no
new developments during the day il,
the matter of a new bond issue and the
opinion now prevails that it may, be
postponed for number of days yet.
The cessation Of large Withdrawals of
gold for export and the fact that one OF
more orders have been placed for gold
shipments from abroad are important
factors in the question of al early is
sue. On the other hand, the almost
daily announcement from the sub-treas-
ury at New York that considerable
quantities are being withdrawn in re-
demption Of legal tenders, would seem
to justify prompt action on the part of
the president. These redemptions, it is
said, are undoubtedly asked for the
purpose of accommodating a supply of
gold with which to purchase bonds
when they shall have been placed on
the market by the syndicate.
Rumor. Regarding the Contract. =
The report from New York to the
effect that the members Of the new
syndicate have entered into an agree
ment by which the government is to be
at once furnished with 100000 900 in
gold and later on, at it's option, with
800, 600, 900 in addition, cannot be veri.
fed at this time. 1t is the general opin-
ion, however, that this arrangement
for an additional contingent amount
was made with the approval Of the
president, who is anxious that this issue
shall be the last during his term OF
office. It is believed, further, that the
condition as to the procurement Of a
part Of the gold from abroad and that
no part of it shall be withdrawn from
the treasury are made parts of the new
contract. r.
The amount of the gold reserve at the
close of business Tuesday was $62, $685.

MOVED MUCH SMALL GRAIN.

Northern Pacific Handled 1880 Cars
More Than Last Year.
ST.. PAUL, Jan. 1.-The Northern Pa
cific traffic department is feeling quite
elated over its showing in the way of
grain shipments. Dec. 81 it passed the
10000 car mark, and comparative
statement shows that it moved 1880
cars more grain to Eastern terminals
than up to the same date last season.
Forty thousand carloads means about
$4,000, 900 bushels, and is practically
what was handled last year by that
company. Its record shows 1854 900
bushels in warehouses along the line OF
the road to be removed, and from the
closest estimates that can be made, at
least $1,000, 600 bushels are still in the
hands of farmers tributary to the line,
which will make approximately 40, 000,-
600 bushels, against 26, 0O0,O bushels

"a HAVANA. Jan. 1.-The most conflict
ing reports are in circulation again re-
garding the movements Of the insur-
gent forces under Generals Gomez,
Maceo. Bandera and others. The Span
ish officials continue to claim that the
insurgents are in retreat and that the
Spanish troops are pursuing them out
of the province Of Matanzas. But the
friends Of the insurgents point to the
fact that even the authorities here were
compelled to admit that detachments,
at least, of ! the insurgents are still
in the vicinity of the city
Of Matanzas and that they are still do
ing damage. It was reported from
Camarioca, ID miles from Matanzas,
that insurgents, said to number 1000
men, were moving in that vicinity,
which would indicate the determination
of the insurgent commanders to capture
Matanzas, although it has hitherto been
the opinion that dash on Havana was
the real aim of Gomez in pushing for
ward SO rapidly through the province
of Santa Clara and into the province OF
MatanZas. ..as-
A Battle Near Jisuiana.
An encounter has occurred near

tired, leaving II dead on the field and
bearing away many wounded. The
Spanish loss was 8 killed and 45
wounded, including 8 officers. The
wounded were removed to Jiguiana.
There are renewed reports Of the de-
struction Of property. 1t would appear
that the whole province Of Matanzas is
subject to incendiarism. Notwithstand.
ing their ceaseless activity the insur-
gents make no attempt to hold any
towns. If they enter an unprotected
village they march out speedily.

INDIANS DON'T LIKE IT
Dissatisfied OVerthe Proposed
Sale Of the Chippewa
If Reservation.
Committee of Chiefs Selected
to Visit Washington and
Protest.
Indications Point to a Grand
Rush for the Land on
May Is.

FossroN, Mimi, Jan. 1.-The Chip
pewas of Red Lake, White Earth and
Leech Lake Indian reservations have
selected some of their chief men to go
to Washington to oppose the Towne bill
for the sale of the pine on on the reser-
vations in tracts Of 100000 acres each.
The Chippewas claim that such a
method of procedure is simply playing
into the hands of few pine land men
who do not wish the big buyers of
Michigan and Wisconsin to come in
and bid The Indians. of course, want
the biggest price possible for the pine,
as the money will go into the United
States treasury to furnish them annui-
ties.
The announcement that the secretary
of the interior has decided to put the
agricultural land of the Red Lake res
ervation on the market on May 10 has
sent into this country the advance
guard Of what may be expected to be a
grand rush in the month of May for
homesteads. Quite number of settlers
have passed through here lately bound
for the agricultural district Of the res.
ervation: The price to be paid for the
Red Lake lands insures substantial
class of settlers, as the first allotment
calls for $56 for a quarter section. But
as this is fine body of land, and the
last of the kind to be had in Minnesota,
a grand rush may be anticipated in the
months of April and May.
