PETITION DENIED.
VIM. II. Ewing Cannot Obtain the Gus
tOdy of His Child.

t0dy of His Child.
Judge Severance has filed an order
denying the prayer of the petition
and the motion of VIM. III. Ewing, of
Minneapolis, for an order of the
court setting aside and vacating the
order of adoption and giving the Gus
tody of Lester L. Ewing to his father.
The court finds that the child, who is
nearly seven years old, has been well
cared for by his adopted parents, Cab
riel A. and Miranda j. Pickle,
and that the child expressed
a desire on the hearing of
the petition to remain in the care of
Mr.. and Mrs. Pickle. The court also
finds that the child and Mr.. Pickles
family are much attached to each
other.
Mr.. Ewing has made several at
tempts to gain possession of his child,
but has failed each time.

A LIE WELL NAILED.

One of the chief charges that the
fusionists have made against Mr.
Eustis in this campaign has been his
alleged connection with the Guaranty
Loan Co., of Minneapolis. Notwith-
standing the fact, that all their charges
have been refuted, they have stuck to
them SEEMINGLY on the ground that a
lie well told ensures every purpose. But
here comes couple of letters that
effectually disposes of their scandalous
charges. The first is written by John
B, Atwater, one of the leading Demo-
Gratis of Minneapolis, who was connec-
ted with the prosecution of the Guar
anty Loan matter and knows whereof
he speaks. He says;
Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov 1, 1898 =
Hon. William HI. Eustis, Minneapolis,
MINI. Dear Sir: My attention having
been called to an article in the st. Paul
Globe referring to the suit of the Nat
ional New Haven Bank VS. Northwest
ern Guaranty Loan company, in which
your name appeared as one of the
defendants, and in which I was attor-
ney for the plaintiff, I desire in justice
to you to state the actual facts in re-
gard to your connection with that
action. While you were named as a
defendant when the complaint was
drawn, subsequent information which
l received LED ME TO THE CON-
CLUSION THAT YOU WERE NOT
SUBJECT TO THE LIABILITY
WHICH I WAS SEEKING TO EN-
FORCE IN THAT ACTION. My
recollection is THAT NO PAPERS
WE'RE EVER SERVED UPON YOU,
and l am certain from my records that
you were in NO WAY A PARTY TO
THE PROCEEDINGS, which were had
in the district court, or on appeal in
the supreme court. After the decision
in the supreme court the case dragged
along for some time. until finally. hav.
ing come to the conclusion that the
action could not be successfully main
tanned, con- ted t. dism ssal of tt g
case at the request of the attorneys
who had appeared for certain of the
defendants. Yours truly,
John B. Atwater."
The other letter is from Arthur Fl.
Noyes, of the well known law firm of
Harrison & Noyes, who were also
counsel in suits against the Guaranty
Loan company. Mr.. Noyes says:
Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 1, 1898 =
Hon. William Ell. Eustis, City.-My
Dear Sir: My attention having been
called to an article published in the ST.
Paul Globe of recent date, have this
to say relative to the subject of the
article:
The action brought by Harrison &
Noyes, as attorneys of the First Nat
ional Bank of Merrill, Wis, against the
officers and directors of the Guaranty
Loan, included your name as one of the
defendant directors.
On investigation made by one of the
members of said firm, WE FOUND
THAT YOU WE'RE NOT ACCORD.
ING TO THE RECORDS OF THE
GUARANTY LOAN COMPANY A
STOCKHOLDERS AND NEVER HAD
BEEN, AND CONSEQU EMILY
COULD NOT BE A LEGAL DIREC-
TOR OF SAID COMPANY, and before
the appeal to the supreme court was
taken. the action was on the 18th day
of August, 1898. DISMISSED AS TO
YOU, you not being proper party to
the action. Very truly yours,
Arthur III. Noyes.

THE WORK OF ENLISTMENT.
Calling the Roll of Pennsylvania
Militia at Mount Gretna.

Calling the Roll of Pennsylvania's
Militia at Mount Gretna.
Mount Gretna, Pa, May Sunday
at Camp Hastings brought to the SOL
diers a refreshing relief from the hard
daily routine of drill, and in its stead
the camp was thrown open to the rela-
tives and friends of the officers and
men. Special and regular trains
brought over 5000 persons to the
grounds. The visitors were largely the
parents, wives and sweethearts and
relatives of the guardsmen, but the
usual light heartedness incident to an
encampment was noticeable by its abb
sence. In its place there was a sup
preston of spirits which told plainly
that the men were there for war duty,
and that this might be the last time
the soldier boy would see his dear one.
When the tattoo was sounded at $3.50
last evening and the time for leave
taking came there were many touch
ing and pathetic farewells. One mother
whose three sons go with the Eight
eenth regiment of Pittsburg embraced
each separately, while the father, with
Grand Army button on his coat and
wearing an empty sleeve, stood by with
stern features and a far away look on
his face, as If thinking his light hearted
boys little knew of the hardships that
might come with the future

course will be followed with the re-
naming commands of that brigade.
Tomorrow the Second brigade will be
inspected, and on Wednesday the Third

how many men of the First brigade

THE WAR REVENUE BILL.
Senators May Debate the Measure Fo
Two Weeks.

Senators May Debate the Measure For
Two Weeks.
Washington May 2.-Interest in the
senate this week is in the war revenue
bill. 1t will be referred at once to the
committee on finance, and probably
will be reported back Wednesday or
Thursday. A meeting of the finance
committee has been called for this af-
ternoon, with the view on the part Of
the Republican members Of having the
consideration of the bill in committee
begun informally. They have even in
timated that they may ask that a vote
be taken at this meeting, with the
view of reporting the bill as soon as it
is referred.
The Democratic members of the COM
mittee will oppose this program, as
they desire an opportunity to have
various amendments considered. 1t is
now believed that they will offer a
provision for a tax on all producing
Industries, another for an inheritance
tax, and a third for non-interest bear
ing treasury notes. 1t is also probable
that an amendment will be suggested
for the issuance of $780, 600 in green
backs, to take the place of those out
standing, which are supposed to have
been destroyed. They will seek to have
the bond provision of the bill elimi-
mated entirely, on the plea that the
time has not yet arrived for a bond
issue.
There is a possibility that the Re
publican members of the committee
may amend the bond provision, as there
is more or less dissatisfaction with It
among Republican senators. One OF
the changes suggested is a reduction OF
the amount of the bonds. 1t is now
predicted that two weeks will be re-
quired for debate.
There is no business of great Inn
portance to come before the house dur
ing the week, unless the appropriations
committee brings in an emergency war
appropriation measure.

Leveled All Centers of Industry.
Baltimore, May 2.-Charles Fox, for
mer United states vice consul at Santi-
ago de Cuba, arrived at his home in
this city yesterday. He came on the
British steamship Cabral, which sailed
on April 23, the day war was declared
with Spain. When the news was re-
ceived that war had been declared all
the vessels in the harbor were notified
to leave by p. m, and any that re-
mained after that time were liable to
have their stores of provisions con-
fiscated by the Spanish authorities.
In addition to his duties as consul
Mr.. Fox acted as auditor of the
Juragua Mining company, whose mines
are located near Santiago.
"The party of which l was mem
ber,' said Mr.. Fox, was the last to
leave the island. l would have stayed
longer in the country in the interests Of
the Juragua company but ! was for
mally notified that hostilities betwee'
the United States and Spain had begu
and that the Spanish government HI
taken possession of the company
mines. There was nothing for me
do then but leave.
Speaking of the fortiflcations on the
Cuban coast, he said: I think they are
very poor. There is something that
they call a fort at Santiago, but l do
not think that It would exist for many
minutes during a bombardment As
for Moro Castle, at Havana, it is not
all that is claimed for it. At one period
of time many years ago, it might have
been a most formidable fort, but il
could hardly, at this stage of warfare
Withstand a fire of the American gun
boats.
There are no industries in Cuba
Every iron mine is closed and the la
bOrers of all classes are out of work
The situation is most appalling. Where
once stood factories is now burned
waste, and starvation is on the in
crease. The firebrand of war has lev
eled all centers of industry to the
ground, and it will be years before the
country will be the same as 1t was be-
fore the insurrection.
LAS far as the Cuban army is con-
cerned, It could hold it's own for years
