AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
So 1t Is Asserted in Political Circles
at Madrid

at Madrid
Madrid, Nov. 22.-In political circles
it is asserted that an agreement has
been reached between the peace com
missioners in Paris. The government,
it is semi-otficially announced, intends
to notify the Cuban holders that Spain
will not pay the Cuban debt, which
will not be mentioned in the peace
treaty. The government considers
itself completely freed from these en-
tanglements which fall upon the ma
ton exercising sovereignty and col
lecting taxes in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Interest in
the senate session conferred on the
speech Of Senator Gallinger, who has
just returned from Cuba The senator
did not materially enlarge upon the
statements made by Senator Proctor,
though his words carried more feeling
and his denunciation Of Spain and Of
Weyler in particular, was caustic in
the extreme. Weyler, he said, had de.
vised scheme of human suffering that
put Dante,s Inferno in the shade. Ma.
tanzas was literally place of beggary
and death.
Discussing Spanish rule the senator
said that never had people on the face
of the earth been SO oppressed, the
treasury of Spain being literally sup
piled from the revenues extorted from
Cuba and the Philippine islands.

Poor SEED Wheat.

1t is said that farmers in this county
have tried their seed wheat and in many
cases find that very small percentage
OF kernels terminate. We heard of an
instance west of Minnewaukan where
80 kernels we're sown, and only 10
sprouted. D. L. Chance advances the

Seeding in South Dakota.

Spring seeding is now occupying the
undivided attention of South Dakota
farmers. The last two weeks have put
the ground IN the very best condition,
and in many of the fields small grain is
sprouting. The state agricultural
college has been testing great amount
of seed wheat to be used this spring,
and the effect will probably be more
healthy growth than for many years.
Wherever seed failed to show the re-
quired test it has been rejected by the
farmers. The seed wheat agitation has
required much attention.

SAID BY PR0CTER
Vermont Senator Makes q
Statement Regarding His
Cuban Trip.
Terrible Condition of Recon
centrados, Which Will Last
Until Peace Comes.
SpaniardS Hold in Four Prov
inCes Only What the Army
Sits On.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Proctor in the senate made statement
concerning his Cuban trip. He began
by saying that moro. importance had
been attached to his visit than neces.
sary, but he thought public statement
would be beneficial. The only thing.
he said, that he had said about the
matter to the president was that he
was going, and asked if there was any
objection to it, and was told there was
none. He had letters from Assistant
Secretary of State Day and business
men OF the United States. He said
that General Lee and other United
States representatives in Cnba. afforded
him opportunity to secure observations.
He denied that he had made the state.
ment that the Maine was blown up
from the outside, but might have said
that that was the opinion in Havana.
Outside of Havana there was desolation
and misery. People were surrounded
by trochas and controlled by forts or
block houses.
His observations, he said, were in
the four western provinces. Outside
the trochas and forts there were no
babitations or people living.
The Spaniards, he sale, hold in the
four provinces only what their army
sits on.
Condition of Reconcentrados.
Senator Proctor described at some
length the condition OF the reconcen-
trados. saying one half of them had
died. owing to the manner in which
they had been kept in the small houses
and bad sanitation It was no wonder
one half had died, he added.
He went into Cuba, he said, thinking
the condition Of the people had been
overdrawn, but fonnd their condition
terrible. What he saw he could not tell
so others could see. In one place in
Havana, the senator said, he saw 400
emaciated people lying on stone floors,
with little clothing. The children had
NO clothing. American people may be
assured, he continued, that their
bounty will reach the destitute, and he
added:
"The condition Of the reconcentrados
will not be changed until peace comes.
General Blanco's order of Nov. 13 is Of
little practical use. No beneficial re-
suits had followed. For this he did not
blame General Blanco, as Blanco
looked at the matter from q military
point Of view"
He inquired as to autonomy of men
of wealth, business and professional
men. Without exception their reply
was that it was too late for autonom
It was, they said. too late for peace un.
der Spanish rule. Some favored an.
nexation by the United States.
Senator Proctor said he was not in
favor Of annexation. The conditions
for self government in Cuba were
favorable and not much danger Of rev.
olutions. He could not make any rec.
ommendation az to what should be
done. He thought the matter might
be safely left to an American president
and American people.
With these words he closed

Rape Seed With Wheat.

Rape Seed With Wheat.
Dakota farmer says:-We read of one
farmer who when sewing his wheat last
spring, put about pound Of rape seed
to the acre IN with his wheat, and after
harvest turned 500 sheep upon 27O acres
so treated. This brought them into
winter in good shape, they not being
able to use up all the rape. Millet also

as many from each county as can make
it convenient to attend. Let each silver
man understand that he is as welcome,
even if he did not receive written ln-
vitation as those who did. It Is large
state, and We regret to say that 1t is
impossible to remember all whom We
would like to see here. Our motto Is
"Let the people rule" and the proper
way to find out what the people desire
is for the largest number possible to
meet, confer together, exchange and
judlciously weigh the various Ideas and

what course is best to pursue.
