THE ENGLISH NAVAL RESERVE.
MT. Goshen Urged to Enroll Colonial
 Seamen in It.

SeuIlltI III IL.
 London, July 27,-A deputatlon from the British empire league visited the first lord of the admiralty, George J. Goshen, to-day, to urge the enrolling of colonial seamen in the naval reserve.
 In reply MT. Goshen said that he thoroughly sympathized with the move- ment, adding that the colonies ought to realize that they must bear fair share of the defense of the empire. Con- tinuing, Mr. Goshen remarked that if the colonies would bear the expense of training the naval reserve men, the government would bear the expense of the mems retaining fees, In conclu- sion he promised the deputation that the commanders of the British naval stations would be instructed to open communications with the various colo nial governments, with the view of evolving a practical scheme for enroll ing colonial seamen in the naval re- serve.
 Postmaster General Mulock of Cana da, who, it is reported, is about to be knighted, assured MT. Goshen of the cheerful cooperation of Canada in any movement having for it's object the safety and stability of the British em- pire.

SMITH WAS MISUNDERSTOOD.


 Washington, July 27.-The attention of Postmaster General Smith was call ed to-day to dispatch which said that correspondent of Russian paper re- marked to him that "the rumor of an Anglo-American understanding had off, tended old friends" and that the post master general made the reply: We are sure that old friends will not be- try the United States, Just as we will not betray them. As for England, the majority here share your sentiments toward her." The postmaster general said that the correspondent had com pletely misunderstood what he said. The gentleman did not understand English thoroughly, and this doubtless explains his entire misconception of what vas said.

The Stock Market.

New York, July 27.-Nearly all the
 strength and activity in to-days stock
 market were confined to the first hour.
 At the opening there was a rush to buy
 as result of orders placed with com
 mission houses this morning on the an-
 nouncement that Spain had addressed
 the United States government with a
 request for peace. This early demand
 was fed quite freely by realizing sales, which held prices back to within
 small fraction above last night and even dragged them below last nights level on active profit taking. But these
 offers to realize were quite confidently
 and progressively absorbed and the de-
 mand was still unsatisfied. The mar
 ket was apparently embarked upon sustained upward movement, when Sugar began to pause after an advance of nearly ? points, which resulted in
 dislodging heavy covering orders. Very
 large blocks of the Stock, many of them
 of 1000 shares and upwards, were taken on the advance. But after touching Al support seemed to be withdrawn and steady stream was poured upon
 the market for the rest of the day.
 Several times the price steadied and
 rallied slightly only to make renewed downward plunge, each successive loss
 dislodging heavy stop loss orders. The
 price dropped over four points from the top and rallied only feebly at the close.
 The slump was accompanied by rumors
 of unloading for inside interests with
 a view to retirement The demoraliza-
 ton in Sugar unsettled the whole list
 and put stop to the upward move
 ment for the rest of the day. The decline in the general market was des- l ultory and was not accompanied by heavy offerings. It was very obvious, however, that professional traders real ized to large extent at the opening on the peace news and they probably viewed with complacency the subse- quent reaction, offering opportunity to buy back stocks at q lower level De- clines from the best reached a point or over in most of the prominent stocks and net losses in some cases are as much as a point.
 The announcement during the day of the engagement of a small amount of gold in London for import had no ef- feet. The transaction was regarded as of a special character, exchange not yet being considered at the gold import point. Sterling exchange in fact ral- lied IA cent in the actual rate to-day. Conditions in the money market re- mained unchanged.
 Railroad bonds continue to be ab- sorbed on a large scale, recent issues of 4 per cent. for reorganization pur- poses being the favorites. Total sales, 25,195,000
 There was continued large demand for new government threes to-day when issued, very large individual blocks be- ing taken at above 104.

RELICS OF A FAITHFUL, FRIEND.

The following epitaph, says the Hart ford Times, was written by we'll known Connecticut jurist and refers to a setter dog that had been his com panion on fishing and hunting trips for many years. The dog was owned by Robinson S. Hinman, chief clerk of the secretary of states office:
 HECTOR.
 Died July 21, 1898. Here lies the relics of a faithful friend. Upon whose virtues 1t were vain to dwell; He sleeps the sleep that never knows an end,
 Am he woods and fields he loved so well. The fields, the woods, the hills he ioyed to
 roam.
 Lie round him yet; he is like them part of nature that has kindly called him home, To sleep forever near to Natures heart.

A Degenerate Family.

Interest in the family of August Nor
mand, who butchered the Hilstad chill
dren and outraged their mother ii
Grand Forks county last summer, and
is now in the pen for life, will be revivec
by the fact that three of his brother
have been arrested at Roseau, MINI!
for the murder of Erick Nystrom, who's
body was found in that section som
time ago. 1t is said that Gust Ander
son, who was previously charged witt
the murder, has made a statement ilnI
plicating the three brothers in the deel,
While August Normund was a prisons
in the Grand Forks county JAIL, bic
three brothers from Roseau came to sic
see HIM, and considerable comment wis
caused by the manner in which thew
deported themselves. They we're ad-
mitted to the prisoners cell by the
deputy sheriff, and the prisoner, above
whose head the eaIIows loose seemed
to bangle unpleaeantly near, and the
three visitors acted with an air of stolid
indifference, belitting a meeting under
the most ord nary circumstances.
August asked if any Of them had a
piece Of tobacco, and, on the required
article being produc I'd, he bit off a huge
chew, and after a few commonplace
remarks the three brothers withdrew,
Not a word of sympathy was uttered
and nothing vas said which showed that
any OF the three realized the terrible
position in which their brother was
placed. One of the three went home at
once, the other two remaining to take
in the sights. Within a day or two
after their arrival they were arrested
for disturbing a Salvation Army meet
ing and for annoying ladies on the
streets at night by. following them.
They were hustled out of town by the
officers for fear that the incident would
EXCITE public sentiment, already stuff.
GENTLY bitter against August, to a dan
gerous point. 1t is said that the MUIR
der of Nystrom occurred shortly after
their arrival at Roseau after their visit
to Grand Forks.

Said to Have Confessed.

Winona Times George Defenders
confession just previous to his death
has at last leaked out. 1t is now said,
and it comes from good authority, that
Defender admitted to having taking a
part in the Spicer murders. On his
death bed he said that himself, Holy
Track, Ireland and Coudot did the kill
ing, and we're to be assisted in the MUIR
derous attack by Black Hawk, but for
some reason Black Hawk failed to meet
them at the time fixed to proceed to the
Spicer ranch, SO they went without him.
His statement throughout corroborated
the confession of Holy Track and Ire
land. It is further stated that his last
words were, "why didn't they hang
Black Hawk? Black Hawk is the man
that got us into it,"
If it is true that Defender confessed
to the above, and there seems to be no
doubt about it here, it is a damable
shame that the clutches of the law can
not be fastened upon Black Hawk, so
that he might be made to suffer for that
atrocious crime. It makes one shudder
to think of having al instigator of such
a terrible massacre turned loose in our
midst, unpunisbed, with the opportu.
nifty of repeating that which he isthought
to have done and believed to be capable
to do again.
