WEEK ENDING MONDAY. JULY IL.
GENERAL CONDITIONS.
The week, except at the close has
been very warm, reaching the high
temperature of Over 80 in nearly all
parts of the state ON the 8th. Heavy
rains have been distributed as local
thunderstOrms over most OF the
state, except in portions OF the
southeast. The rains have frequent
ly been accompanied by high winds
which were coronado in action in
Carlton, Morrison, Lyon, Mcleod,
Slbley, Kandiyohi, and at Lowry, III
Pope county, where two persons
were killed. The storms together
with severe hail in Polk, Clay. Beck
er, Morrison, Stearns. Kandiyohi,
Wright, Lac Qui Parle, Yellow Mede-
cine. Renville, Lyon. Scott, Rice and
Dodge count ties, caused loss of crops
over areas from few acres In ex-
tent up to thousands. At many
places the amount of ruinfall was
very large. Spring wheat is promis-
ing on high lands, heading finely. but
on low lands, it with other crops is
suffering, apd in many places sub
merged, There is not as much lOdg-
ing in spring wheat and oats as was
feared. and the rust is principally on
the lower leaves only. A good rye
crop is about ready to cut, and In
southern counties some has been cut.
Barley is also approaching ripeness
in the same section. Corn is making
very rapid growth where wet soil
has not prevented cultivation,
though the stand is poor. The hay
crop is light, and it will be late BE-
fore the wet meadows can he cut.

For Free Cuba.


The moon, o mystery flower of heaven,
Bloomed large against tho clouds
That weirdly DER the sky were driven
Like phantoms wrapped in shrouds,
While through the smothering forest crept
A pale, brown, belted line
OF living forms that onward swept,
Led by thought divine.
For these were Cuban war men. stirred
BY no mad thirst for strife,
But throbbing with the holy word
OF freedom. that gives Life.
With machete and with gun they swung
Death still along the route.
Then On the Spanish camp they sprung
With Wild, triumphant shout.
Al through the balmy cir now death,
And death was ON the groond,
+. For every hero's farewell breeth
Screamed . bullets walling sound
With moro than human Strength they fought
TIL they won the long. fierce dsht,.
Jor the weapon strong wherswith thsy

In the sea green depth Of the bowersd glade
The 9paniards sink away,
But alas Tor the patriot lives that fAdo
Ere the dawn Of tho full orbed day.
On the field Of blood full many facs
Lies mute, upturned and white,
The swarthy hue guflused with grace
- Not born Of the moonbeam's Light.
For indeed from the brows Of the fallen bravs
A light streams up to the sky,
And earth salutes with It's rays from tho
grave
That splendor Of night on high.
80 the moon, mystery flower serene,
Mid the woe Of the universe,
Drinks up strange dew and light from tho
scene
OF the clustering battles curse.
But the day will rise when heaven and earth
Shall glow from cloud to sea
With blended Joy for lands new birth,
And Cuba shall be free.

Parliamentary Committee Reports ON the
Transvnnl Raid.
LONDON, July l4.-The parliamentary
South African commission that has been
inquiring into the Transvaal raid, has
agreed upon it's report.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes a
summary of the conclusions of the conf
mittee. The report will express an EN-.
phatic opinion that, whatever justifica.
ton there might have been for action
on the part Of tho people Of Johannes
burg, there was none whatever fox
Cecil Rhodes conduct in subsidizing,
organizing and stimulating an armed
instruction against the government of
the Transvaal. A heavy responsibility,
according to the report, remained with
Rhodes. despite the fact that at the last
moment DR.. Jameson invaded the
Transvaal without Rhodes direct &C.
ton.
Rhodes Mostly to Blame.
The gravity Of Rhodes transaction is
weightily expresses by the committee,
who find "that he seriously embarrassed
both the imperial and colonial govern
ment; that his proceedings resulted in
IN astounding breach Of international
comfy; that he utilized his position
and the great interests he controlled to
assist and support revolution, and de-
ceived the high commissioner, as well az
concealed his views from tho members
Of the colonial ministry and tho direct
ors Of tho Chartered company"
The commit*sis Of the opinion that
of tho Chartsu9d company directors who
were examined, only Mr.. Belt and Mr..
Mcguire were cognizant Of the plans of
Rhodes, and, as Belt was entrusted with
the money to promote revolutionary
movement, he must share the full re-
sponsibility for the consequences.

Congressman Towne is paying very
close attention to the deliberations
of the conference committee on the
tariff. He is pal ticuiary interested
in the lumber schedule, and is very
anxious that the house rate OF ~
per thousand on white pine shall
not be restored. Mr.. Towne is seek
ing revenge against the lumber inter-
ests of his district, that were OPP
posed to his reelection two years
ago. He claims that he did great
work for the lumbermen during his
brief career In congress, Fin getting
what they desired Incorporated in
the river and harbor bill. The. raft
ing and towing provisions of the
bill, Mr.. Towne claims, were not sat-
isfactory to the lumbermen. luntil he
secured certain amendments. On
the other hand, Judge Morris, the
man who defeated Mr.. Towne for
the honor OF representing the Sixth
district in the house, la fully IA act

opponent, and whatever may be the
outcome, so far as the conference:
