The idle speculation that has come
out of Minneapolis about a middle of
the road Populist candidate for gov
ernor, in case of the nomination of
John Lind on a fusion ticket, is hardly
worth listening to, if w. w. Erwin is
meant by the middle of the road can
didate. Mr.. Erwin has said plainly
that he will support Lind. 1t is not
likely that Ig. Donnelly could be used
again as an aid to the Republican
scheme Of splitting the opposition, and
the middle of the readers would be
put to 1t to find a man known through
out the state for a candidate in oppo-
sition to Lind. 1t is not certain that
Lind would accept the nomination, but
1t Is said by people who are very close
to him that he would come home and
make the running, If nominated on
fusion ticket.
So far as the matter has gone, there
has been no one else talked of for the
fusion nomination.

CUT PAY OF ONE RECEIVER
JUDGE OTIS ONLY ALLOWED
FRANK SEYMOUR $500
He Asked for $9.OOO-W. II. Light
ner Asked for the Same Amount
and Got It--Creditors Protested
Against the Allowances Asked for
on the Ground That They Were
Exorbitant. ~

Judge Otis Yesterday afternoon heard
the petitions of Receivers Lishtner and
Seymour, of the Bank of Minnesota.
that their compensation for the year
ending Dec. %, s1S97, be allowed, and
the former was given $4,000 all thas
he asked for, while Mr.. Seymour was
allowed s., 500, 81 500 less than his petit
ton called for.o s
The matter came before Judge Otis at
special term of court. The receivers
had filed separate petitions, that of Mr..
Lightner stating that the $4,000 asked
for by him, in addition to the $4,000
that he had already received, included
not only his services as receiver, but
his work as attorney and counselor in
the affairs of the bank and also tie
services Of Young and Lightner, which
had been extensive.
The petition filed by Mr.. Seymour
stated that the $4,000 asked for by him
would be credited entire ON his indebt-
edness to the bank. The receivers We're
questioned to some little extent by the
court and after each had spoken in
favor Of his petition, 7. j. McDermott.
representing large number of the
creditors of the bank, filed his objection
to the requests Of the receivers. He
said that he thought that $4,000 should
be all that the court should give MI.
Lightner in addition 10 the amount that
he had already received and that Mr..
Seymour should have but $1,000 in adj
dition to the $4,000 that has already
been paid, and that that amount should
be credited entire on his indebtedness
to the bank. Mr.. McDermott said that
the creditors were willing that the re-
ceivers should have $4,000, but that
they were all poor people and many
of them had lost their all in the
failure Of the bank and that in view
Of these factarthecsums asked for by
the receivers were too high.
After MIR. McDeFmott had finished
Judge Otis said that he would cut the
amount askedn fofsby Mr.. Seymour to
s4,5c0, but that the full amount asked
for by Mr.. LigSltrer should be allowed.
and that if he had asked for additional
compensation, ,foro his services as at
torney that they would have been al
lowed also. Tie total allowances made
were $500 forf Mr. Seymour and $4,000
for Mr.. Ligh'ther and are for the full
year ending Dec. ,23. 1897.

ory weather has completely knocked
out the wheat raisers. The average
California yield will run annually from
45,O00,O00 to 57,000,0C0 bushels This year
the yield will scarcely exceed 1000, 900.
Just before l left San Francisco
early last week, there was a general
rain throughout California, but it was
TOO late, either to help or save the crop,
OF course in some of the districts lay
ing ur in the valleys sufficient rain has
falien during the season to save the
crop, but this will not effect the general
condition of the crop of the state taken
as a whole.
There has been no rain in the lower
valleys, but there has been plenty of
snow on the mountains which has help
ed matters some in these districts.
between January l and May 2 less
than per cent OF the average rain
tall fell in California. Why, this prac-
tcally means that we had no rain at
AL. During the season just passed
thefe are usually abundant rains, for
three and four months at a time. The
grass ard foliage, which are usually
luxurhant at this time of the year. are
simply dead. The rain fall which com
menced May 49, will not be followed by
season of moisture, I think, as the
rainy season is now over, and every
cody In California thought it quite re-
marksoie that we should have a heavy
fail of rain so late in the season.
The crops raised on irrigated lands
will be as good this year as they ever
are. Of course during the last ten
years the heavier agrculturalists have
largely irrigated their wheat lands, and
10 those their crop is assured.
Thls seems to have been the off
year with the wheat growers of Cali
fornla, and lots Of money has been
lost in the crop.
1t is not probable that we will have
another such drought for another
thirty years, but to protect themselves
against any SUCH probability, I think
the wheat ralseTS will go into irriga ting
more extensively than ever before,

ASIATIC RATES GO UP.

tinental Meeting.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. May N.-The trans
continental freight bureau completed two
weeks session today. While nothing official
was given out as to the result of the meet
ing, 1t is authoritativey learned that a de.
cided advance in Asiatic rates, including all
ports in China and Japan, will be immediate
ly made by the association.
This will also result in the putting up Of
transcontinental rates in this country, but lie
understood that, while the less than carload
rates will be advanced from 25 to 40 per cent
over existing rates from New York, Chicago,
St. Louis and Milwaukee, to the Pacific coast
the Middle West cities will not suffer, for
the reason that under the new schedule all
rates that are advanced will be raised pro-
portionately from all Eastern points. where
they have for years been practically the
same the rates from the Middle West to
the Pacific coast.
