Emery K. Cornelius, of Bement, Ills,
rolled into The Pioneer Office yesterday
morning, having came tho entire dis
tance on his bicycle. He is looking up
some government land for location,
and is the advance guard of colony
of those good people who will locate in
North Dakota, among the best people
on earth. Why of course prosperity has
struck us. Mr.. Cornelius says the finest
country he has passed through en- route,
is Steele county; and expressed much
surprise at our thriving town of Hope.
He is only one of many.

GENERAL SANGUILLY.
Secretary Sherman Does Not Believe
He Will Return to Cuba.

WASHINGTON, April BIT has
come to the knowledge of the State De-
partment that General Julio Sanguilly
is now at Jacksonville, Fla, and that
his followers have given out the i'm
preston that the General is about to
head an expedition to Cuba Secretary
Sherman was asked what the United
States Government would do in case
this impression was we'll founded. In
reply, he said that in the first place he
did not believe Sanguilly would do any
such thing. His reason for this belief
was the fact that he Secretary Sher-
mani held in his possession a written
pledge made by Sanguilly, in return for
the good offices of this Government in
securing his release from prison, not to
have any connection in any manner
with the Cuban troubles. The Spanish
Government also held a similar pledge.
and in addition, Sanguilly had actually
promised not to return to Cuba without
it's consent.
If Sanguilly violated the obligations
he had thus assumed, the Department
of State" Mr.. Sherman said, would
not interfere further for his protection.

have nothing further to do with him -
The Secretary does not believe that
General Rivera, who was wounded and
captured by the Spanish, and now lies

that the threat of the departure of an
other expedition from Florida under
Sanguillys promise, will prejudice the
efforts that are making, with show of
success, to secure General Rivera's par

ASSOCIATED PRESS PAPERS.
Big Price Paid for New York Journal
in Order to Get the News.

NEW YORK, April 3.-W. r. Hearst
having been refused an Associated
Press franchise for the Morning Jour-
nal" has purchased the Morning Adj
vertiser," and Mr.. Hearst'S New York
newspaper property will be known
hereafter as the journal and Advertis
err" The price paid was $225,O0O, and
this figure represents what it cost Mr..
Hearst to get a news service for the
Journal after the failure of the
United Press, as the advertiser" has
absolutely no value beyond it's Asso-
ciated Press franchise.
The Morning Advertiser has long
been an elephant on the hands of its
hackers, while the Commercial Ad-
vertiser," it's evening edition, has been
money maker. Mr.. Hearts purchase
does not include the Commercial Adj
vertiser,' and the Evening Journal, -
therefore, is without a franchise, a con-
dition of affairs that is likely to last.
The new journal and Advertiser will
make its first bow tomorrow morning.
Pacific Coast papers formerly men,
bers of the United Press have figured
Interestingly in the death of that news
organization. Mr.. Hearsts San Fran
cisco paper, the Examiner" which re-
entered the Associated Press fold after
an absence therefrom of twenty seven
weeks, paid at the rate of 5000 a week
for its dereliction to which was added
an extra 10 per cent, making total
cost of $3.50 for it's United Press eX-
perience, beside the sum it paid the
latter organization for its service.

CALIFORNIA DERBY.
SCARBOROUGH, A RANK OUT
SIDER, THE WINNER.
The Ell Rio Rey Colt Came Under the
Wire First by Bare Nose,
Scarf Pin Second.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The in
augural California Derby, the blue rib
bon event of the Pacific Coast, was de-
cided at Ingleside this afternoon under
the most favorable circumstances, the
weather being perfect and the track in
splendid condition. Seven thousand
people witnessed the combat betVeen
the select field of three-yearolds who
battled fiercely for victory.
AS is usually the case, a rank out
slider flashed by the winning post in the
lead Atkinson & Lottrigde's Ell Rio
Rey colt Scarborough, on whose
chances 40 to l were offered at one
time, was the fortunate colt, capturing
the first Derby, and incidentally his
victory resulted in one of the biggest
killings in the history of the local
turf Opening at 40, his price was grad
ually cut down by the immense
amount of money that went in on him,
until at the post time ~ to l was the
top price. Howard S. was the public
choice, he being a very pronounced ia
vorite, with Scarf Pin and Candelaria
next in demand The others were at
liberal odds, as the race was believed
to be between these three.
The race was a beautiful one from
the instant the barrier was raised until
the judges caught the winner. To an
almost perfect start Howard S. jumped
into the lead which he retained mo-
mentarily, however, Scarf Pin and Can
delaria going to the front and leading
the field until the head of the stretch
was reached Here the pair was joined
by Scarborough, Howard S. in the
meantime having dropped back to ninth
position, being apparently unable to I'M
track himself. Down the stretch Can
delaria fell back beaten, the two lead
ers having things to themselves, until
Howard S. drew clear of the rear
division and set sail for the leaders.
The effort was too great, however, and
the favorite fell back again into the
ruck a few yards from the wire. Scarf
Pin and Scarborough raced together
like a team, neither being able to gain
the slightest advantage until the wire
was reached, where Coady, by tre-
mendous effort, succeeded in landing
his mount first by bare nose, Scarf
Pin finishing second by length.
The winner is by Ell Rio Rey-Fon-
