New York, March 14.-After cou.

public move in what will tend to break
up an alleged big scheme to smuggle

The trial, which has lasted nine

Against the clear case of the state was
set up only the unsubstantiated evil

coat and shoes were given him in a

declaring the so-called Mile Lac res
ervation open to homestead entry as
public land. Some time ago there was
printed letter from the general land
office to Senator Nelson, defining the
status Of this reservation, or, rather,
its lack of status. 1t presents alto

Senator Nelson proposes to straighten
1t out. Lands have been set aside for
the Mile Lac Indians on White Earth
reservation, but they decline to re-
move. There is comparatively little
of the reservation left unoccupied by
whites.

Washington. March 12-The crowds
which filed the senate galleries to.
day in anticipation of an exciting
Cuban debate were not disappointed.
Twi new phases of the subject made
their appearance. and each afforded a
debate which aroused senators and
spectators to n high stage Of interest
and excitement. Mr.. Lodge Of Massa-
chusettS arose to question Of per-
sonal privilege and In vigorous words
Iebuked the Spanish minister, Senior
Du Plly de Lone, for his recent criti-
cisms of senators. Senator Teller
added his opinion that repetition of
the minister's action should be fol-
lowed by his dismissal. Senator's Cray
and Hale maintained that senatorial
privilege and prerogative should not
be strained to close the mouth of the
Spanish minister. Mr.. Lodge did not
press for any definite action.
The incident was hardly closed when
the subject came up in another form.
Mr.. Hoar had asked that his resolu-
ton, postponing the entire Cuban sub
ject until April 6 go over until to-mor-
row. This aroused Mr.. Sherman to an
energetic and feeling protest. He de-
clared that Mr.. Hoar's resolution was
q reflection on the committee on for
eign relations and was an effort to
shelve the Cuban resolutions after
weeks Of discussion and overwhelm-
ing votes In both houses. The two
venerable senators, Sherman and
H0ar, engaged In vigorous colloQuy.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
The Way In Which Our Export OF Manu-

The Way In which Our Export Of Manu-
features should BE Built UP.
To work up demand and properly to
introduce our manufactured goods in
foreign markets require greater energy
and aptitude than in selling cereals.
provisions and raw materials, for the
reason that it becomes necessary to cater
to the tastes and overcome the preju-
dices of consumers, while in the case OF
raw materials the exporter deals only
with wholesalers and manufacturers,
who themselves convert the products in
to manufactured articles suitable to the
wants of their people. Hence manu-
facturer and exporter must expend much
time, labor and money to introduce his
wares abroad, requiring u large prelim-
mary outlay and careful study OF the
wants of the different markets, coupled
with untiring energy and perseverance.
Returns and profits are necessarily slow.
That frequently discourages exporters
in their first efforts, and causes them to
abandon the attempt to introduce their
goods in competition with others al
ready we'll known and established in
the market they seek to enter.
The prejudices of foreigners are diff
cult to overcome, but the energy and
ingenuity of our business men who go
abroad to cultivate new markets should
be equal to the occasion and capable Of
overcoming all obstacles. With our in
exhaustible natural resources, improved
machinery and inventions of all kinds,
and an increasing supply Of skilled la
Dor every year. this country is capable
of making rapid strides in the expansion
of its foreign export trade, provided our
capitalists, manufacturers and mer-
chants give it the thought and attention
that it deserves. If only one-half of the
capital, energy and attention that is
now absorbed in manipulating stocks,
trusts, questionable mining companies,
and other inflated schemes was devoted
to the development of legitimate manu-
featuring enterprises, and to seeking
consumers for their products abroad.
the country would become more and
more prosperous each year, and be able
to provide employment for her skilled
artisans, whose labor is the foundation
and mainstay of her wealth. Our

no education. A boy was arrested at the

The officer said that the boy had run
away from his home in the east and was
going west to fight Indians. The super
intendent asked if any weapons had been
found ON the youthful desperate. The
officer replied that the only thing found
on him was book. The superintendent
continued: "These dime novels are do

to drive them from home than anything

took it and opened it. Then he said:
'This is the Bible-eh? I have heard

He began to read slowly and laborious-

his feet down from the desk, placed his

Sells Her Skin at . Dollar an Inch.

A young woman living on Mission
street makes living by selling her skin
for grating purposes. A year ago she
first contributed little skin to friend
who was in need of whole hide, and,
finding that she could stand the pain
and that her skin was particularly
healthy, she concluded to profit by it.
She sent a letter to nearly every ply
stefan and surgeon in this city and Oak
land, calling their attention to the fact
that she had healthy skin for sale.
Since then the young woman has had
all the orders she could fill at very rea-
sonable rates. She charges 81 square
inch, and usually parts with 20 to 30
square inches at time. Altogether she
has had nearly seven square feet of her
skin removed from her body, and has
now got around to the second growth.
She is probably the only woman on
earth who has been flayed alive.-San
