IN a position TO eStlmate closely.
This sum Of money poured into the
laps of the farmers of the Inland En-
pire, means the clearing off of the mort
cages that have been such burden du-
ring the past few years and it seems
that enough will be left over for every
farmer to purchase needed machinery
and to make repairs to his house, fen
ces and outbuildings.
1t demonstrates better than anything
else can, the possibilities of farming in
this country. Here are the farmers of
eastern Washington, who have been
struggling for four years against the
low prices for crops, and depreciation
OF farm values and are now made indie
pendently wealthy by one season of
good prices. 1t is u record that any
country might be proud of, but unfor-
tunately it does not exist outside of
the great inland Empire Spokane

Hroat has sold for 81 in the markets
OF tie West. This means to the farm
ing community over twice as many dol
lars for their crops rs they have been
receiving for the past few years. A
great deal higher prices are predicted,
but we will be satisfied if our crops can
be marketefso rs to average their pres
ent values. IN the meantime gold pro-
duction continues to increase. Colora-
dos output for this season is conserya-
lively estimated at, 3200G0,000, and the
other mining states viii show great in
creases. New Mexico, Arizona, Cali

reports Of new capital coming into the
field. newmines being opened and old
ones improved There is one other fac
tor that will aid IN showing an increase
iu output. even il our mines were to
remain stationary. 1t has always been
customary to lose from 80 to 80 per
cent Of values in milling low grade ores
but we are confident that there are
now on the market, processes that will
make it possible to save the greater
part of this loss. Taking facts as they
appear, and we believe our claims that
farming and gold mining are the most
legitimate occupations in the world,
and that prosperity is dependent on
both is proven. Mining industry.

Crisis in Cuban Affairs Regarded as

HAVANA, Feb. 25.-There is anX-

Lee and his government on account of
the confinement in communicate -(sol-
itary confinement here for nearly
twelve days of Charles Franklin Scott,
an American citizen, , in violation of
treaty rights.
Gen. Lee, on Wednesday night, au-
thoriZed the correspondent Of the AS
ISOLATED Press to say that he had nos
asked the United States government
to send warships to this port on ac-
count of the death of Ricardo Ruiz
apparently from violence, in the prison
of Guanabacoa, but the fact seems to
remain that the United States consul
general did ask the state department
to advise him whetheg-it would send
war vessel to Havana, If one was
necessary to enforce the demand for
the release Of Scott from solitary con-
f1nement. TO this Secretary Olney
made an evasive reply. The general
asked for definite statement from the
department, and it is not known whern-
er he has or has not, received a reply
to his last message. In the face of all
diplomatic fencing the Associated
Press correspondent Is In position to
say that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has threat
ened to resign if he does not receive
the support Of the United States gov
eminent in his effort. to secure the
rights of American citizens. 1t Is I'M
derstood that the Spanish government
has decided to order a strict inquiry

HOUSE IN WITH 1T.
Ready to Give the Sanguilly ResOIu-
ton Com sid GRAFTON.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 25.-Chairman
Hit of the house committee ON foreign
affairs, has promised, in case the San
gully resolution passes the senate, to
give 1t consideration in the lower branch
Of congress. AT it's meeting this morn
ing the committee decided to report the
resolution which was later passed by
the house 1t was a substitute for the
various resolutions of Inquiry before
the committee, as follows:
Resolved by the house of representatives
That the president be requested to transmit
to the house of representatives, If not in
compatible with the public interest, all cor
respondence on file in the state department
not hitherto communicated to congress, in
regard to the Imprisonment of American cti-
zens by Spanish officials in the island of Cuba.
The committee was considerably
aroused over the situation in Cuba and
there was no opposition whatever to
the adoption of the resolution. The
other resolutions for which Chairman
Hit drew the substitute adopted by
the committee did not contain the
clause, IF not incompatible with the
public interests" which make it OPP
tional with the president whether or
not he gives the house the desired cor
respondence.
The case of Gen. Julio Sanguilly was
also mentioned in the committee. 1t
was urged that the house should take
immediate, action on the line of that
proposed by the senate committee on
foreign relations to secure the release
of Sanguilly. Chairman Hit spoke
automatically of the case and promised
that if the senate adopted the Sanguilly
resolution and sent them to the house
for action, he would call meeting of
the committee without delay to consider
them.

CIRCULATION TO PAR.
Bill Affecting Banks Adopted by the
House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The house
Is evidently drifting ON toward final
adjournment with an easy conscience
All the appropriation bills have been
sent to the senate. Final action was
had on both the agricultural and army
/ bills today and a bill was passed TO
clothe the poStoffice inspectors with the
power OF United States marshals in the
matter of making arrests. Quite I'M
eXpectedly late in the afternoon the
banking and currency committee
brought forward the bill to authorize
national banks to take out circula-
ton to the par value of the bonds de-
posted. The bill was bitterly opposed
by Mr.. Walker, chairman of the COM
mittee from which it emanated He
said that three out of every five peo-
pie in the United States entertained a
feeling of hostility toward the national
banks and the passage at this time Of
the pending bill framed in their in
terest would be fatal mistake. If the
present national banking system were
aggrandized along it's present lines, he
warned his side of the house that there
would be less Republicans in the Fifty
sixth house than there were Democrats
in this, The large cities, he argued,
profted by the national banking act
All agricultural communities and states
suffered. After some further remarks

The resolution requesting the presi-
dent to transmit to the house all cor
respondence on file at the state de-
partment in regard to the imprisor-
ment of American prisoners in Cuba
was unanimously adopted
There was an echo of Mr. Bryan's
visit to the house yesterday when the
journal was read today. Mr.. Barrett
(Rep., Mass.) called attention to
the fact that the Congressional Record
this morning contained these words:
During the reading of the bill, Mr.
Bryan entered the hall, and there was
loud applause on the democratic side.''
He asked whether the Records tes-
tfmony to the truth of history was
proper.

MINNEAPOLIS
OFFICE 20 SOUTH FOURTH STREET
SURPRISE SPRUNG.
Albert II. Hall Objects to the Charge
of Judge Pond.


Albert II. Hall sprung a sprprise upon the
county attorney and the court last evening
at the close of the argument in the demur-
Ter to the indictment against Charles F.
Haney.
Mr.. Hall produced a lengthy affidavit, con-
tanning, among other things, the verbatim re-
port Of the charges Of Judge Pond to the
grand jury, and registered an objection to
the indictments found against Mr.. Haney,
upon the grounds set forth in the affidavit.
According to this report, the judge had in
sisted to the jury that the charge and in
dictment against Mr.. Haney, in 1890, had
been summary kicked out of court" The
affidavit insists that the case went regularly
10 the supreme court, and that the supreme
court regularly reversed the district court
IN its ruling against the demurrer.
Continuing farther, the affidavit claimed
that Wtlliar2 Gunderson, who is a member
OF the present grand jury, was also a mem
per OF the grand jury which indicted Haney
In 1890, and was therefore prejudiced and
not ut person to be on the grand jury
for that purpose. Mr.. Hall made a motion
TO QuaSh the indictments for the reason that
Judge Pond erred in his charge to the jury,
and for the other reasons set forth. Mr.. Pet
erson reserved the right to look over the af-
noavfts before he appeared generally in the
matter. The court decided to hear the mat
ter further in the morning.
The little coup sprung by Mr.. Hall was
at the close Of the arguments in the demur-
rer to the indictment charging crookedness
in the coal contracts with A. Camp Hall.
The attorney claimed not only that the In
dictment did not show facts sufficient to
constitute public offense, but also that the
scheme alleged to have been put up was
simply impossible of fulfllment The Judges
did not decide the matter, but took it under
Amusement.
1T is a pack Of lies'' said Mr. Haney to
reporter for the l o b e. This man Hall
was in the office, and so far it is true. He
asked me questions, and l answered them
as would answer any man who was ex-
pecung to make bid. l only wish that case
could be tried today. l would like to amuse
the public with an exposure of what weak
Things this prosecution is resting upon"

ROCHOLL CONTINUES,
More Testimony in the Avon School
Row.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Feb 25.-Super-
intendent of Schools Rocholl was him
self on the witness stand all the morn
ing in the investigation now being con-
Quoted as to his mana cement Of Stearns
county schools and the use therein of
Catholic books and prayers and foreign
languages.
He went into all the charges brought
against him by the witnesses for the
prosecution, denying emphatically that
Joseph Heinen, the teacher at Avon,
had been discharged because he refused
to say Catholic prayers, but said he
had denied a certificate to him on ac-
count of complaints against Heinen's
character, who is accused of playing
poker and brutally treating children in
school. Rocholl stated that his posi-
ton had always been that it was a
matter for the trustees to decide; but
that where there were no objections
raised to prayers they could be said.
Witness cited decisions of Attorney
Generals Cole, Caldwell and Childs, who
held both ways on the question.
The witness further testified that he
had gone to the Catholic priest at Avon
and demonstrated with him for advis-
ing his parishiOEers net to send their
children to school until prayers were
resumed, and had explained that, OBJ
jections having been raised, prayers
could not be continued.

Believed to Re the Murderers of the
Family at WinOna.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 25.-Two In
dams are in custody at FIT Yates to-
night, charged with the stealing and
selling of a COW at Winona last week
The men are Louis Agaard and Black
Hawk, one of them a negro half
breed who has served term in the
penitentiary. They were captured on
Grand river some distance from the
agency at Standing Rock, by the In
dian police at the reservation and the
officials of Emmons county. There is
no proof yet that the men were impli-
Gated in the murder at Winona, but it
is reported from that place that the
evidence given by them on their ex-
animation points that way. One Of
the men had his face badly scratched
as it was claimed the face of the muir
derer would be when found, from the
effects of a struggle with one of the
women who were his victims. He
claimed at first that his face was in
jured by kick from the animal, whose
theft they admitted. and afterWard
said 1t was done in falling en- the ice.
The men are looked upon with suspl-
cion and are under arrest at Fort
Yates and closely guarded. Further
developments are expected, which may
