The telegraphic report In another
column Of the drowning of a large
number of men Lake Linderman
will naturally cause some ap-
prchension here until the nam"s are
known. The last word that has
been heard from the Little Falls
parties was a letter sent by j. K.
Martin, under dates OF April II and
10, and published in the Transcript
of May 6. The party had just ar
rived at Lake Linderman with their
goods. From the letter it is
supposed that Martin desired to re-
main at their camp until the lake
opened, but it is evident that scme
of the party wanted to 60 on to
Lake Bennett, as the following
clause from the letter will show:
We have our logs cut for our
boats, but have to haul them about
five miles, and it will take nearly q
thousand feet of lumber to build the
boats. 30 think we shall have
about all we can do from now till 1t
breaks up. However, II we have
time, after we get our lumber cut.
we may move down on Lake Bennett,
but 1 don't like the idea OF breaking
camp ana moving every little while,
as It is no small JOB and no great
gain, as you can go farther In q
boat in a day than in q week on
sleds.

construction of the Nicaragua canal
by the American government. To
those Democrats who appear to be
doubtful as to whether this is In line
with the old Democratic policy, Gov
ernor Stone says that the Democratic
party has ever been the party of ter
ritorial expansion. Had Jefferson
listened to the croakers the flag Of
some other government would have
hoated over the section row known

THE MISSOURI SOLDIERS.
Will Not be Mustered Out Until the
Terms of Peace Are Ratified by
Both Countries.

The st. Louis Republic says: Ad-
jtant- General M. F. Bell has received
advices from the War Department
which indicate that the troops now on
furlough will not be mustered out OF
service until the terms of peace are
formally ratified by both countries.
This means that the regiments which
have returned to their homes will be
held on waiting orders as a precau-
tionary measure In the event that
hostllities are again commenced.
1t is General Bells opinion that II
will be several months before the First,
Third and Fifth Missouri regiments,
which have been returned home, will
be granted discharges from the SER
vice. He also believes that the same
will hold good for Battery A, which is
now on q 0-days furlough.
