PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Semf-OmciaI Statement of Plan to BE
FOllOwed-TrOOps to he Landed
in Puerto Rico Also.

Washington, June 2.-For the first
time since the beginning of hostilties
there appears to be something in the
nature of an official statement of the
plan of campaign of the United States
government. This is contained in let
ter OF Secretary Alger to the speaker
OF the house, transmitting certain rec
concentrations, and statements of Gen.
Ludlow, which disclosed the purpose of
the war department to send 10000 men
to Cuba, 10000 to start at once and the
remainder just as soon as they can be
made ready for departure. Then there
was an estimate for establishing cleo
trical communications in connection
with the army ''in Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines" showing for the
first time officially an implied intention
on the part of the government to land
troops in Puerto Rico. OF course all
these movements have been anticipated
by the press, but nevertheless strong
element of doubt existed, and therefore
an official statement of the govern
ment's purposes, made even in this in
direct fashion, created profound SEN
sation here. The three are to go to-
gether-Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phil
ippines-and pass into the military oc-
cupation of the United States troops.

Reminder of the Hincklcy Fire.


The remains of another victim of the
Hlnckley fire. were discovered mile
west of Sandstone by boy while
searching for his cows. The bones
were well preserved and by their po-
sition showed that the victim sought
to save himself by seeking shelter in
the lee of small hill. Near the skel-
eton were found a watch and chain
and the remains of rifle. These
were easily identified by Mrs. John
Nelson, who recognized them as the
property of her husband, who it was
known had persisted in the fire on that
fateful day somewhere between town
and the w. P. & D. railroad, four miles
west His was the last case unac-
counted for, and now the fate of every
person missed since the fire is deter

The Legislature of Minnesota made
no appropriation for either this build
ing or other representation of the
state at the Exposition. Early in the
current year the attention of Gov.
Clough was brought to the fact that
Minnesota was likely to be the only
state west of the Mississippi river
which would not be represented in this
Exposition, and he proptly appointed
commission of representative citizens
to devise ways and means and to pre-
pare exhibits. This commission has
succeeded in raising nearly $50, 900
with which the building here shown
will be erected, and exhibits made in
the several departments of the Expo
sition. Minnesota will be represented
in the agricultural building with an
horticultural display, in the Mines and
Mining building, with a mining dis
play, and will have extensive exhibits
in the dairy department and in the
apiary department. A wool exhibit is
also in preparation and Minnesota is
to be given the distinction of present.

London, June A most unique and
enthusiastic banqnets ever given in
London was the Anglo-American ban

pose of the entertainment being the
promotion of good fellowship between
kindred races. Englishmen. many of
whom had experienced American hos
pitaity, were the hosts while resident
Americans were the guests. Political,
business and literary circles were well
represented, but the purpose of making
the affair spontaneous and wholly un-

bassy. American and British flags were
draped over the tables, at which were
both men and women with 1.-The flag

A SILVER AMENDMENT.
Senate Adopts WOlcOtt's Proposition
for Coinage of Bullion Held I'm
the Treasury.

Washington, June Awhile the war
revenue measure was not passed by
the senate Friday, two very important
votes were taken, one on a proposition
to coin the silver bullion in the treas
ury and to issue silver certificates
against the coin, and the other on the
bond proposition presented by the re-
publican minority of the committee on
finance. In lieu of the seigniorage
amendment offered by the majority of
the finance committee, Senator Wolcott
(rep., COLI proposed an amendment di-
recting the secretary of the treasury to
coin the silver bullion in the treasury
and to issue silver certificates against
it. After some discussion vote was
reached, and the amendment was agreed
to, 4S to 81, several republicans voting
for it. Senator Aldrich rep, r. L. then
presented the amendment of the mi

viding for the issue of $1O0,000,0OO of

100000 of bonds, to be used exclusive

the question was brought to an issue,

Guard Fund Exhausted.

Adjt. Gen. Muehlberg, who has been
considering the situation carefully,
has come to the conclusion that the
state of Minnesota is absolutely with
out national guard fund. The ex-
penses of equipping and caring for the
three regiments of volunteers before
they were mustered into the volunteer
army depleted the national guard fund
and made necessary demands on the
general state fund. In time the state
will be REIN bursed by the national
government, but in the meantime it's
military fund is nonresident. 1t is
said that the state will not be repaid
until congressional action is taken.
The state will now have to get along
without a national guard, or else bor-
row money pending the next session
of the legislature.

Kentucky Canine That IL Hired Out - .
Field Hand.
Speaking of funny things, did you
ever hear of a wonderful dog that is
owned by John A. Durr, who lives at
Vanarsdall, little settlement down in
Mercer county, KY? asks the Chicago
Times. This dog beats Dick Brucc's
and Tom Quinlin's dogs all holler. He
is worth his weight in gold. He worms
tobacco. He begins at the end OF the
row and goes down the line at . lively
gait, and no worm is left to tell the
tale of the desolation wrought. The
dog learned this trick by following
Durr's little boys. When the boys
would start down the row the dog
would follow along.
After watching the youngsters for
several days the dog caught on to the
work himself and took great liking
to it. One day Durr went out to his
tobacco patch and found his boys play
ing in the shade, which was not .
strange thing for boys to do. ''Why
the devil amt you worming tobaccof"

back. Durr went to the patch and
found the big pointer dog busily en-
gagged in worming the plants, and he
was doing it faster than both the boys
could have done. DUR. was tickled to
death. After his own patch had been
wormed he hired the dog ont to his

can be proved by two or three revenue
men who never lie.

matter how well ripened these THU,
bananas may appear to be, they viii,
always be found both sour and acrid.
This is because the bunch which con-
tanned them was picked too soon. The
banana grows fastest ct first in length.
When it has reached it's full develop
ment in that direction, it suddenly be-
gins to swell, and in few days will,
double in girth. 1t is at the end Of this
time that it begins to ripen naturally,
and the effort Of the banana importer is
TO have the fruit gathered AZ the last
possible moment, and yet before the
ripening has progressed even enough
to tinge the bright green of the fruit
with yellow. A difference of "a hours
on the trees at this time will make a
difference in the weight of the fruit of.

ference in its final flavor between a
puckery sour and the sweetness and
smoothness which are characteristic
of the ripe fruit. To get the bananas

provided with ventilation and other
means of keeping the fruit from ripen-
ing too fast in the hold, Much of the
finest fruit does ripen in the few days
of passage, and this is sold to hucksters

Uniqae iWagers That Were Popular
In Baltimore. @
The ma jority of the bets were, as
usual, in cash, but a great number, of
decidedly unique and eccentric wagers
were discharged, says the Baltimore
Sun. The time-honored wheelbarrow
ride was INDUCED with wearisome fre-
quency, and in all sections of the city
vas to be seen smiling victor riding
at ease. or at such ease as the rather
cramped quarters afforded by the bar
rows admit, while perspiring and toll
ing behind and almost overwhelmed
with the burden trundled the unhap-
py loser.
Once in awhile came the confident
man who, in his unconquerable belief
in his boss success, had agreed to
shave one side of his face and allow
the other side to sport his usual growth
of whiskers. He was hailed with de-
rision and made to feel the seriousness
of rash wagering.
Smooth faces, too, were seen in num-
bers among men. who usually wear
heavy whiskers, and they were also
greeted with bantering merriment by
acquaintapces.
One of the odd bets of this year, the
conspicuousness of which made the
loser feel his position keenly, was that
of wearing a straw hat at this unsea-
sonable time of the year. There was
not a great number of such wagers
made, apparently, but sufficient to at
tract attention in the busy thorough
fares.
The pushing of peanuts around
square with match sticks was not neg
lected in the general forfeiture. and
this was seen more often in the qnieter
sections of the town. 1t is difficult
wager, indeed, to fulfill, but those who
lost, as a rule. pluckily stuck to the
task until the winner declared him.
self satisfied.
