ATTACKS ON CONSULATES
No Information Can Be Obtained From
Secretary Otney.

secretary Otney.
WASHINGTON. d. g., March 9.-The
news of continued attempts to attack
American consuiates in Spain naturally
excites interest but no Information can be
obtained at the State Department as to
whether Minister Taylor has cabled to
Secretary Olney the facts. Qualification ls
expressed, however, over the manner in
which the Spanish authorities are protect
ing American interests.
The statement in the United Press dis
patches from Madrid that the American
consulate at Valencia, which was attacked,
is occupied by our Consul at Denia, clears
up the mystery heretofore prevailing.
When the news came that the consulate
at Valencia was attacked, State Depart
ment officials were unable to explain the
statement, as the United States has no
consular officer stationed there Andrew
Fay OF illinois was recently appointed
Consul at Denia. Spain, to succeed Gen.
eneral McIvor of Alabama.
Before leaving for his post Mr.. Fay ex-
pressed desire to reside at Valencia, a
much pleasanter city, and transact the
Denia business from that place, although
Valencia is geographically within the
limits of the Barcelona consulate district.
AS no objection was made it is presumed
that Mr.. Fay settled in Valencia and is
the United States Consul whois being pro-
tected from the fury of a Spanish mob.
The United States has consular agent

NO CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT.
Receiver anderson Talks about the Union
Pdcffc's Debts.
OMAHA, NEBR., March &c. Ellery
Anderson. receiver of the Union Pacific;
Alexander Millar of Boston, secretary of
the system, and Lawrence Greer, Iepre
senting heavy bondholders of the road,
arrived to-day from the East. Receiver
Anderson is here to attend hearings before
Master in Chancery Cornish. About the
prospect of reorganization of the Union
Pacific road Mr.. Anderson said:
1.-THE Union Pacific is making very slow
progress with Congress. There have been
an endless amount of explanations propo-
siIions consultations, but nothing salts
factory can be agreed upon. I estimate
that the chances of securing any legisla-
ton at present are done for. ALI parties
interested cannot agree on any practicable
plan of settlement. One proposition which
has been made public is that made by
General Hubbard of the Central Pacific, by
which the Government will apply the
sinking fund of So, 000, 900 to the payment
of the principal in currency skies, without
applying any part of the same to the inter-
est. The company then agrees to take up
the currency skies amounting to $21 ,0O0. 900,
and would give the Government 2 per cent
income fifty-year bonds to adjust the in
terest, which is about S35 100000. The
same proposition applied to the Union Pa
citic would result IN the application of
$15, 900, 600, the amount in the sinking
fund, to that amount in currency skies,
leaving the reorganization to par $19, ,0O0, 600
and also to adjust the outstanding arrear-
ages of interest. about $35 900, 900, with
per cent income bonds.
"The proposition is favorably received
by the commission, and l am satisfied
would be accepted by the company, but l
am not able to see, personally, where the
Central Pacific is going to get the $21, ,0OO,-
900. l am emphatically in favor of the
plan and think it is the most intelligent
and fair way bf coming to settlement.
The Government can get more money out
of it than in any other way, and it is the
best plan for the company. 1t is a good
square basis of settlement, but there is
only one thing not in its favor, and that is
that it won't pass"

and the ease with which life is sustained in
the tropics, thousands would have perished
ere this and the island would be a charnel
house before the end is reached. In many
towns there have been no provisions for
weeks. People have lived by sucking
sugar-cane and eating plants. Fami-
lies have camped for days upon the
RUNS of their homes in the burned dis
tricts, sleeping upon the ground nights
and crawling under thatch during the
heat of the sun.
Those who could have sought refuge in
the cities, and the few in proportion who
had the means have escaped to the
United States, Mexico and some other
country where peaceable citizens are not
liable to summary execution.

We're Not Murdered.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 9.--The bodies
of the man and infant found in an alley
last night at Forty-eighth street and Indi-
ana avenue in a horribly mutilated con-
dition have been identified. There was no
murder, as was supposed, but the bodies
were dumped into the alley by medical
college to save the expense of burial. Tue
man was Edward Joseph Cummings, 72
years of age, who has wife and son living
ct 313 Fortieth street. and the infant was
the child of Mrs. John Mcdonald, wife OF

GOSSIP AND NOTES.

The passenger train was delayed at
Grand Forks for two hours on Tuesday.
Wonder who the leading democrats
are that joined the Mckinley Club
here.
The harvesters and hunters were
treated to a genuine North DAKOTA rain
storm on Tuesday.

street he has CHEEKY word and a

There is rumors of another wedding
in the near future. 1t is the last leap

Parties who promised to pay their
subscription 'tafter harvest" are re-
.quested not to overlook the promise
altogether.
This is the season of the year when
the average sportsman thinks more of
his chicken dog than he does of his
mother-in-law.
Tuesdays rain brought many of the
farmers to the city, and the crowds on
the streets that evening made one
think of the booming times last fall.
Our boys are all busy this week.
Many of them are at the Carnival and
the rest are out soaring chickens,
manning farmers stock and hunting.
Hunters are continually returning
with all kinds of loads. Some are
bringing in ducks and chickens while
Others bring back what they took out
but in different form.
The organization of Mckinley Club
is under way, but the membership is
out in the country to get enough names
to make showing before the organic
.ation is made.
Now is the time to plow your sfifs
breaks, and make them good and safe.
With this years heavy growth of grass
it is impossible to avoid prairie fires
