ANOTHER HALE LECTURE.
A Fourth Address Added TO His Course at
Salisbury Hall.

In Salisbury Hall, beginning at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, Rev. DR., Hale
will close the course upon early Bos-
ton" speaking on the ministers and
the churches together with some ac-
count Of the building up of that literary
reputation which Boston had at the
opening of the revolution. This is en-
tirely disconnected from the other three
lectures and affords an opportunity to
teachers and the young people to listen
10 this venerable man. whose fame is
universal, to lose which may be re-
GREETED. in the future.
The Boston Transcript, under date Of
Nov esd. 1897, has the following: Each
lecture by DR.. Hale in the Lowell In
stitute course seems to surpasS its pre-
decessor in interest. Last evenings ad-
dress was on the churches of old Bos-
ton. and without going into detail of
the buildings, the speaker touched upon
the main points of their history, weav
ing them into an entertaining and in
struetive tale"
DIR. Hale touches upon the work of
John Eliot and the opposition thereto,
of the Quakers who, next after the Puri-
fans, established church in Boston, of
the French Huguenots who followed
closely after As an instance of the in
tolerance of the Boston clergy, he brings
out the Punishment of Anne Hutchinson
and John Wheelwright, and fifty cha
gacterize3 the hanging of the Quakers
upon Boston common.
Single tickets for this lecture, which
will be illustrated with lantern pictures,

Secretary Bliss Finds No Grounds for tho
Charges Of Irregularities.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. = Secretary
Bliss has been investigating the alleged
scandals in connection with the sale of
the timber lands of the Chippewa In
dians and will treat the subject in his
forthcoming report to congress. The
charges, upon investigation, are shown
to be utterly without foundation. Under
the treaty of 1889 the United States
has advanced to the Indians over
$2,O00,30O and as yet has been
REIN bursed only to the extent of
100000. The expense Of estimating the
timber lands which are to be sold has
been rather heavy, owing to the fact that
there have been several boards. but the
present board is doing its work with per-
feet satisfaction. The secretary's report
will clear up the misapprehension which
exists in certain quarters regarding the
sale of their timber lands.

lican administration value it at s5.46.
In Pembina county the fustonists val
ued land at s587 an acre. The republi-
cans value it at $500.
In Traill county the 'fusionists valued
land at s7.78. The republicans valued
it at s6.23.
These are merely few examples. The
personal property by counties shows II
increases and 28 decreases. 1t is true
that sheep are higher, but it will be re-
membered that under the fusion state
and the democratic national administra-
tion, sheep were drug on the market
had no value under the Wilson bill. Un-
der the republican administration, sheep
are valuable properties, and owners are
only too willing to pay on large valuation,
because of the increased value of their
holdings.
Another thing the republicans have
done: They have raised the assessment
on bank stocks, bonds, elevators and con-
tents, and similar properties, owned by
capitalists-not by the farmers. The
pops failed to do this. And yet they are
the avowed enemies of that class of prop
erty holders,

MAY PAY A LUMP SUM.

Deducting Our War Expenses Spain Will
Get Enough to balance Account.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-While the
cabinet gave little attention at it's meet
ing to the peace negotiations at Paris,
there is no longer any doubt as to the
general purpose Of this government to
retain the entire Philippine archipelago.
If, after final balancing of the accounts,
namely, the cost of the war to the United
States on the one side, and our acquisi-
tions on the other, it is found that any
compensation is due the Spaniards, it
will be made in lump sum.
What the United States will insist
upon is that she must be fully reim-
bursed for every dollar expended by her
on account of the war.
What sum Of money this government
would consent to pay to Spain beside
guaranteeing local bonds cannot even
be estimated, but when the final ac-
count is rendered it is believed that the
balance due Spain will be probably
small, not exceeding $25, ,O0O. 600 or $780,
