Secretary Hoke Smith. in his de-

thirty times as much as silver, but
want to fix the ratio at only l6 to l..

MINNESOTA WHEAT PRICES.
They Rose Rapidly After the Assas-

SinatiOn OF silver IN 1000
One by one the assertions OF the
free coinage advocates have been ols-
proved, until now their preposterous
claims are left without an argument
in their favor. For long time it has
been an article of the Populist faith
that the alleged demonstration OF sill
yer in 1873 had caused the great re-
duction in the price of wheat during
the past twenty-three years. Promises
that free coinage would make wheat as
valuable as it was in 1873 have been
RESPONSIBLE for much of the silver SEN
timent which exists in the farming
sections of the country.
A recent report on the prices OF
Western farm products by L. U.
Powers, Chief of the Bureau OF Labor
Statistics for Minnesota, shows that
in reality the silver legislation OF 1873
had nothing to do with the price OF
wheat. The following is a compar l.
tive statement of the average gold
values for wheat per bushel upon the
farms of Minnesota from 1852 to
1894:

Hamilton, March 1.-The cold wealth
er continues in this vicinity and IL is
feared that some of the fruit trees
which began budding two weeks ago
are damaged to the extent of killing
the early crop. A slight snow began
falling yesterday morning about 10
O'Clock and continued at intervals
throughout the entire day. The lumber
men view this cold snap with impa-
thence, as Ii will be impossible to set
the mill in operation so long as it con-
tinues. Everything is I'm readiness for
work to begin just so soon as the
full of men who are waiting anxiously
to hear the whistle blow.
The indications of a prosperous sea-
son are excellent and even now a re-
vival in business is noticeable. Work
upon the new hotel will begin as soon
as the frost is out of the ground and
will permit laying the foundation.
The Ravalli County bank has recent

ranchers. This action on the part of
the bank officials will be great saving
to the county, especially in the way of
county building contracts, since IT is
the custom of contractors to make bids
with the view of discounting the war
rants issued in payment for their serv-
ices.

BARS ON RIVER STEAMERS
Judge Miller Says They Must Have
a License.
Within the Limits of the
District.

Hereafter all steamboats, plying within the
confines of the District on the Potomac
River, and conducting bars on board, must
take out u retail liquor license. This was
the Interpretation Of the law yesterday
afternoon by Judge Miller in the. case Of
Capt E. g Randall, charged with conduct
ing an unlicensed bar.
The prosecution was brought last summer
by the Anti Saloon League, and at the first
hearing Judge Miller intimated that he
thought steamboats, We're amenable TO the
law. Yesterday the case was heard before
jury, and owing to the defective informa-
ton alleging facts which could not be
proven, the court directed the jury to bring
in a verdict Of not guilty. Two emissaries
of the league, Messrs. Charles s. Foster
and Howard NJ Blanchard, sent by the as
sociation to show the captain was selling
without license, were SO conflicting in
their testimony as to cause the courts
action. Neither one of them drink, SO they
said, and when Mr.. G. Maurice Smith, who
appeared for Capt. Randall, cross-ex amined
Foster, he swore he bought two drinks of
whisky on the steamer Harry Randall, which
he just tasted and then poured in bottle.
MIR. Smith proved that ON the day of this
occurrence the Randall was not at the
wharf and was far down the Potomac.
The other witness, Blanchard, testified
TO his friend buying the drinks. Mr.. Smith
made mastery argument, and quoted
many authorities in contending q steam
boat was not premises as the liquor law
defines a barroom, and could not be
granted license.
Judge Miller said the statute stated ex-
plicitly the places handling liquors that
were exemptfrom license, and steamboats,
did not come within the category, and
while acqutting the defendant on tech
nical grounds, he said to sell liquors on
his boat he would have to take out u lie ense.
