BANNER YEAR,

transformation the present indi-
cations the number of new settlers
coming to the state this year will eX-
coed by far the number of any one
year since the boom days of 1882. The
arrivals during the present month of
permanent settlers in the James river
valley exceed and single month during
the past ten years. They are coming
from Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsyl-
yania, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
Iowa, and few from as far south as
Arkansas. Two hundred and fifty
families have come from Marshall
county, Iowa, and others will come
later. Those OF the Dunkard persua-
sion who came to North Dakota last
year succeeded so well in raising their
first crop that about 1000 have al
ready been added to their number dur
ing the month.
One of the Studeballer brothers of
South Bend, Ind, wagon manufacture
ers. purchased all improved farm of
800 acres for $3.50, and from his first
crop he paid the whole purchase price
of the farm. Many others had like
success last year, hence the early
movement on the part of the Dunllards
of the several states for homes in the
wheat region Of North Dakota this
year. There is now no doubt that the
crop acreage of this state will exceed
that of any prior year.
There is now much more than the
usual interest taken in flax culture i'll
this state, and an increased acreage is
assured, as every bushel of available
seed will be used.

conscious about mile east Of this city

bic to the president cannot be stated
but 1T is asserted that no proposition
will be considered that does not in
volve the practical. if not the actual,
independence OF the Cubans. Under
these circumstance the members of the
administration think it only fair to the
president that the people should await
with patience the result OF the pending
negotiations, since there is no more
loyal American than the president, or
one who will hesitate less than he
when the hour for action has arrived.
There is little doubt that the French
government is ready to tender its good
offices as mediator between the Unit
ed States and Spain if any intimation
is conveyed by this country that such
offices would be acceptable. Without
such intimation it is doubtful whether
France will take the initiative. In dip
lomatic circles it is pointed out that
the interests of France, both material
and sentimental. favor an avoidance
of war. One material reason is that
France is preparing for the interna.
tional exposition. when the world
tide of traffic will be turned toward
the French capital. It is said that war
at such a time would be seriously
prejudicial to this great project. An
other material interest affecting
France is that her citizens own many
Spanish securities, SO that any decline
resulting from war would fall largely
on French capitalists. While these
are important considerations urging
Franco to avert hostilities, yet they
are not, OF course, such as could be adj
vanced as the actual grounds for a
tender g. good officers. Such move
would be promised solely on sentiment
al grounds. namely, on the friendship
, of France for both parties engaged in
| the controversy.

Tourists Scarce.

Honolulu is now having taste OF
life with reduced tourist patronage.
The effect is being felt in several di-
rections. The ZeaIandia brought only
a couple of travellers and the word
from San Francisco is that the travel
of pleasure seekers. will not be resumed
for some time. A number Of parties
that had been organized gave up the
trip and went East from the Coast
One agent at San Francisco said that
there would be a tourist boom or food
in the direction Of Cuba and the
Philippines after the war ended. The
parties to Japan and the Philippines

That Mariner Tells of Meeting a
Spanish Cruiser
Is. T. Call. May p.

Is. T. Call, May p.
The bark Alden Besse. which got in
from Honolulu yesterday. had a very
hard time of it during the last four
days Of the voyage. She was caught
in the Northwestern that delayed the
Gaelic thirty-six hours, and she
brought marks of the encounter into
port with her. Two of her boats were
smashed, her port railing was carried
away and the fOrecastIe was flooded.
The carpenter was washed out of his
shop, the cook was nearly drowned in
the galley, and, all in all, everybody
on board had a bad quarter of an hour.
Captain POtter's account of the trou
BILE was as follows: Two days ago
we were chased by a Spanish cruiser.
The rascals fired two shots at US, both
of which took effect. Go and examine
the damage for yourself. l stood the
fellows nonsense as long as possible,
and then I cracked all sail on my ship
and ran him down. Yes, sir, l ran
him down, and that Spanish cruiser,
with all on board, went down. That's
one warship less for Uncle Sam to
fight, anyhow"
The two shots which took effect on
the Alden Besse were two big seas
which broke aboard, one after the
other, and did all the damage. They
swept clean through the midship
house and nearly took two of the crew
overheard with them. The passengers
on the bark from Honolulu were Mrs.
and Miss Dayton and Mr.. and Mrs.
Terwilliger.

Young Thomas $. Stutz, a well-known
telegraph operator Tor the Chesapeake

aptitude for business.
lie handles even the most common

business punctuality and dispatch.
He worked for several weeks recently
in the telegraph tower at the corner or
Canal ana seventh streets, but not long
ago he was transferred TO GOrdonsViile
The other day he received notice 10 be-
gin work in the Rock Castle Office OF the
road, and yesterday ne arrived III TINS

There was not much time 20 spare, but
that Mr.. Stutz employed the time 10 the
best advantage Is shown in the events
In which lie was a chief actor, that
crowded the subsequent hours up To >
o'clock this morning.
M suite OF the snortness of the time
Mr.. Stutz gained an interview with Miss
HOrtense A. Jones, who resided with her
mother at No. - north Thirty-tirst street
and 10 whom he had paid attention FOR
some time, arranged plans for a runaway
marriage, waited until the young lady
could pack up few necessary articles
Of apparel and leave her home unsus-
pected
The couple took the o o'clock train for
the South, and about ! o'clock arrived
with the same business-like celebrity
Mr. Stutz aroused a minister, the Rev.
T. y. Stainbach. who. with a generous
fee In sight, gave ready assistance TO the
plans of the young people.
AT ITO O'Clock, in the parlors OF the
Weldon Hotel, the minister pronounced
them husband and wife, TO their evident
happiness.
Mr.. Stutz gave his age at twenty, and
Miss Jones stated that she was nineteen.
The young people propose returning Tor
the parental blessing. and are expected
TO arrive this afternoon.
II is not thought that the relatives OF
Miss Jones will make serious objection
10 the match.
