The War Situation.

While the climax has not yet been
reached, it is very apparent that it can
not much longer be delayed, and it is
possible that even before this article
meets the eyes Of its readers, war may
be declared. The situation as stated by
President Mckinley on Thursday, since
which time no material change is re-
ported, is as follows:
THE administration is simply waiting
definite responses from Madrid. Nego-
tiations are in progress and all will de-
pend upon the effect of these. The ad-
ministration desires TO avoid anything
tending to precipitation and undue
haste in matter so fraught with the
grayest consequences. 1t is struggling
for peace so far as national honor and
dignity will permit 1t is hoped that
the issue will come to definite, early
adjustment. If it can be settled peace
ably it will be gratifying and if salts
factory conclusions cannot be reached
within day the admin istration will
still hope for it TO be effected before the
week closes" Meantime he advised
them that in bis opinion there should
be no rabid and excited talk cool judg-
ment should dictate action in all mat
ters which involve national honor and
which will either bring the country out
of the crisis peaceably with credit or
plunge it into war. The president
further expressed qualification that the
sentiment Of congress favored giving a
little longer time for the administration
TO act, and he cited the necessity for
awaiting the final effect of the dispatch.

That Lost Cabin Mine.

Leroy NJ. Weller, of Spokane, Wash
ington, and II. \. Mcguire, an old time
newspaper man and correspondent Of
Chicago paper during the Black Hills
gold fever, claim to have discovered in
the Occur d'Alene range in Idaho, not
over days journey from Spokane, the
famous Lost Cabin mine, which has
been at the bottom Of western miners
legends for years The Lost Cabin was
supposed to have been a discovery Of
phenomenal richness, made BY prospec-
tors who died without leaving any trace
Of the rich ind. Mcguire claims to
have been the discoyercr Of the lost
shaft, which is located in the fastness of
the mountains, surrounded on all sides
by dense forest. There is nothing to
indicate the previous presence of man
but mining shaft, which had caved in
from disuse and neglect. The region
was investigated, ore taken from the
place and assayed, and the two men
believe that they have made the dis
cOvery so long sought. The ore is very
rich, and company with capital stock
Of S500,00 has been organized TO work
the mine.-Exchange.

American Corn Exhibit.

The Secretary Of Agriculture has ask
ed congress for an appropriation which
will enable his department to make an
extensive corn exhibit at the Paris ex-
position. 1t is Mr.. Wilson's belief in
common with that Of persons familiar
with European markets, that there is a
possibility Of greatly stimulating the de.
mand abroad for American corn. Corn
is such a national product that any in
crease in the demand and price would
be Of immense benefit to the country
The annual crop of this country is in
the neighhorhood oftwo billion bushels,
and every cent in rise or fall means a
change Of valuation Of S20,O0O,0O0. Eu-
ropeans do not know anything about
American corn. They consider it fit
only for horses, and haye no ideas as TO
how it should be cooked and prepared
for the table. The secretary proposes
to make the corn exhibit at the Paris
exposition great practical demonstra-
ton Of corn and its products having al
special feature experienced cooks TO
make corn cakes, dodgers, mullins, etc,
which will be distributed TO visitors.

that in many respects the statements

conventions Of the Populists and DEM
ocratic and Silver Republican parties
met here today. Platforms were adopt
ed practically on the sameflines by the
three conventions. The platforms
favor the free coinage of silver, OPP
pose the issuance Of bonds in times of
either peace or war; oppose banks of
issue and favor government issuance
of all money. The war with Spain is
approved and it's energetic prosecution
is demanded. The election Of supreme
Judges by the people is demanded and
injunctions by the federal courts are
denounced
Conference committees were appoint,
ed and the Democrats demanded that
they be given treasurer, auditor, super
intendent of public schools and land
commissioner The Silver Republicans
asked for attorney general and lieu
tenant governor. These concessions
were considerably more than the Pop
ulists were willing to grant. The Pop
ulists are emphatic in their refusal to
give so large a portion of the ticket 70

gestion and a diSordered liver
mean that man is fighting the first round
with death. Unless he manages to strike
the knockout blow, it means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guise of some serious malady. When a
mans stomach g weak and his digestion
is.iulpaired, the life giving elements of the
food he takes are not assimilated into the
blood The blood gets thin and weak, and
the body slowly starves. In the meantime
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood all manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood
stream carries to it. In place of healthy
nutri.nent, it receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued, this system of starva-
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body. Naturally, the
weakest organ will give way first. If a
man is naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton. If he inherits weak lungs, the con-
sequence will be consumption, bronchitis,
asthma, or some disease of the air-passages.

VAN SAINT SHOWED UNDER IN

by the Two Factions-With
Practically Complete Returns
Eustis Has 3O7 Votes In the
County Convention and Van SAINT
Only I6I-The Result a Surprise.
The Republican primaries in Mime
apolis last night resulted in an over
whelming victory for w. H. Eustis in
the city. With two precincts missing
and ore with an uninstructed de1ega-
ton, the total shows 307 delegates for
Mr.. Eustis and ISL for Van SAINT.
The result Is almost as great sur
prise to the Eustis people as to their
opponents. The contest was the hot
test that has ever occurred in Henne-
pin county. This is shown by the ex-
traordinary total of votes cast, which
will probably exceed $4,000 votes in
the county,
Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth and
Thirteenth wards. The Seventh and
Thirteenth were solidly FOR him, while
in the Eighteenth Van SAINT carried but
one precinct. This was in the home
Of E. e. Smith, Van SAINTS manager.
Van SAINT carried the First, Second,

Eustis men will control in today 8

be sent to st. Paul. June 30. The Eus-
tbs men are jubilant,, while the Van
Sent people say they had an linking
of what was coming some days ago.
Nothing like complete returns were
in at midnight, but there were enough
to show a victory for Mr.. Eustis. The
county convention today will have 565
| delegates. Eustis is assured Of more
than enough to carry the convention.
John H. Steele, manager Of the Eustis
campaign, declared last evening that
| the total Eustis vote in the county con-
vention would be not less than 375.
! The Van SAINT leaders were a very
weary lot Of people at midnight, but
would not then openly concede thetr

change the result materially. They at
tribute the result to the great stress
