MRS. O'CONNELL CONFEsSES.
Claims She Killed Her Husband fl
SeIf-Defense.

SeIf-Defense.
Special to the Globe.
RED WOOD FALLS, Mimi, Aug. 8.
No doubt now remains as to who
was the real murderer of John O'Con-
nell, the West Lin farmer, killed Fri
day night, Mrs, O'Connell has made
a complete statement to County At
torney Clague to the effect tina she
committed the crime in self-defense.
According to. her statement, when
OConnell came up stairs to retire he
ordered the baby taken down stairs,
and on her refusal, called her names
and struck at her. AS Mrs. O'Connell
with the baby attempted to escape
down the stairs, O'Connell caught his
wife by her braided hair, pulled her
w four steps and threw her down on
h floor, hurting her head and arm.
Escaping from him she rushed doWn
stairs and out Of doors, O'Connell fol-
lowing her down stairs and striking
at her. Returning to the house he
made another rush at her and in self
defense she picked up a wagon king
pin from a window and went at her
husband, never stopping until she had
inflicted the blows already described.
From this point Mrs. O'ConnelPs mind
is a blank, she claims, and she knows
nothing regarding the fire and the de-
struction of the house, and the latter
still remains to be explained. Mrs.
O'Connell and her eldest son, James.
waived preliminary examination this
morning and were held to the grand
jury. They were brought to this city
last night and lodged in the county
Jail. O'Connell's relatives are here
from Wisconsin and were talking lynch
law all of yesterday and the sheriff
and deputies were obliged to interfere.
From present indications a conviction
is doubtful.

BUREAUS REPORT OF CON-
OPTIONS IN MINNESOTA.
Large Gangs TerrOrize Farmers In
the Vicinity of Aberdeen-News
of the Northwest.

The official weekly bulletin from the
Minnesota section of the weather and
crop bureau gives the condition of
crops in Minnesota as follows:
The temperature was slightly above
the normal all the week, except the
first day or two. Showers have fallen
during the middle of the week, irreg-
ularly distributed as to amount and
locality, the smallest amounts seeming
to be in the northern half, and the
largest amounts in the southwest. The
cool weather early in the week, fol-
lowing the heavy rains, prevented
scalding of immature grain, while the
warmer weather since has FASTENED
the ripening of spring wheat and oats.
On light lands some spring wheat has
been cut in southern portions, cutting
beginning in more northern portions
on the I'd; harvest probably becom-
ing general on the 9Th; but on the
heavier clay soils and on low lands the
cutting will be considerably later.
Where not affected by water wheat is
fine, but on less favored soils reports
are varied both as to yield and quail
ity of grain, both of which have suf-
fered. Fears of rust, Kessian fly and
uneven ripening due to frosts in May
and June are expressed at scattered
points. Oats and barley are being cut
in southern and middle sections, with
the crops reported fair to good. The
rains have affected the color of barley.
Potatoes are doing well, except where
too wet. Haying is progressing on up
lands, though generally delayed by
showers. The meadows continue too
wet to cut. Corn has grown well and
has reached the tassel stage in the best
fields, but much will make nothing but
fodder. Destructive hail storms have
visited portions Of the southwestern
counties.

STORY ALPHABETICALLY DENIED,
No Such Instructions as Those Out.
lined Sent to Minister SewuII
at Honolulu

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The fol-
lowing from the correspondent of the
Associated Press at Honolulu was re-
celved On the steamer Belgic today:
The arrival of the steamship Mouna
from San Francisco, due here the 10Th.
means much for Hawaii. In official cir
cles it is generally understood that the
United States Minister Sewell will ear
ry out the instructions received in the
last mail, said to be to this effect:
If the Mouna brings word that con-
gress has failed to pass the annexation
treaty, Minister Sewell is to declare O
protectorate and raise the American
flag. The American minister has made
frequent consultations with President
Dole within the past week, and it is be-
lieved that they have agreed on a pro-
gramme. The general impression here
is that congress has decided to let the
matter of annexation wait over till the
regular session. The intervening
months would be a long time for this
country, in view of the attitude Of
Japan, and Secretary Sherman believed
a protectorate of the United States is
the only way to prevent possible hos
tile action on the part of the Japanese.
AS soon as the Mouna arrives, it is I'M
derstood the United States minister
will notify his government of his in
tentiOn to raise the American flag.
Diplomatic etiquette will allow a day or
two for answer, and it is expected ev-
e%rything will be in readiness to de-
clrae a protectorate Monday, Aug. 2.
The foregoing information comes from
a reliable source, and but few persons
in Honolulu are aware of the near APP
proach of the most important event
in the history Of the country.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Sit is de-
clared positively at the state depart
ment that there has pee no change
in the instructions given either to Min
lister Sewell or to Admiral Beardslee
touching their attitude toward the Ha-
waiian question. The admiral's in
structions were to protect American
interests at all points, and to establish
a pr~otectorate only in the event of Sc
of some overt act. 1t is not under
stood that the execution of this or
der was at all dependent upon the ac-
ton or non-action of congress Upon the.

more explicit denial of the story that
the flag was to be hoisted yesterday
