AN ODORLEsS ONION.
Ruthless Science Would Deprive the
Vegetable of Its Character.

The latest product Of scientific propaga-
ton is the odorless onion Just how an
onion can be odorless and still remain an
onion Is not explained To most people
the odor is all there is of an onion and
that is enough. The elimination of the
characteristic feature of a vegeta BILE of such
long and strong standing in natural his
tory ought to be reckoned among the proud
est achievements of man. But an onion
deprived of that delicious tag and the pene-
trating scent which goes with it, can hard
ly be an onion. The palate which loves
onions will not recognize it; calling a whit
ened, innocuous, insipid, plated bulb an
onion will not make it one.
No true lover of onions will hail this new
invasion of science. He eats his onion at
dead Of night, in silence and solitude. He
rejoices in 1t and sleeps upon it. The in
cense of his praise fills the room and
soothes him to delicious sleep. He rises
in the morning after his sacrifice to pass
the day in publication, to see no one till
the sun hath sunk 1t is luxury and a
worship. Shall he yield all this delight
for an odorless bulb? Let others do as
they will he will not. An onion without its
odor would be ashamed Of 1tSe:f-MiIwaukee

COURT LEAVES HAVANA.
Evidence in Regard to Maine Dfsas-
ter Practically All In-NO Word
ms to the Verdict.

Havana, March 16.-The Mangrove,
with the court of inquiry on board,
sailed Tuesday night for Key West.
Capt Sampson, president of the board,
assured the correspondents that the de-
cision to leave Havana was not reached
until Tuesday afternoon after con-
sultation of the members. 1t was de-
cided that, while further testimony
might be obtained here, this was not
sufficiently likely to justify longer
stay. The court can return if the divers
or wreckers make discoveries that add
to the stock of knowledge now gath
cred. The plans of the submerged
wreck, in the preparation of which En-
sign Powelson has had large share,
are very elaborate, and Capt. Sampson
says the testimony and records of the
divers are very full.
The court has no prophecy to make
as to the further duration of it's sit
tings or as to when or where the find
ings will be promulgated. Capt. Sigs-
bee will probably remain here with
Lieut.. Commander Wainwright to SUI
perintend the wreckinS on behalf of the

son, aged 90 months. and NADIA Baehr,
ii years old, were burned to death in
Minneapolis by a gasoline explosion.
Mrs. Peterson attempted to fill the
tank of a gasoline stove before the
flames had been eXtingueshed.
Without warning, there was deaf
ening report, binding flash, and the
room was filed with smoke and flames.
Mrs. Peterson's clothes were covered
with burning gasoline. In frantic
agony she rushed to the front room,
where she met her sister. The latter
tried to beat out the flames, but in so
doing her own clothes ignited. Still
they both attempted to extinguish the
flames, but without success. Further
than this they could do nothing.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
A Rect Sugar Factory.

Minneapolis is to have a beet sugar
factory capable of taking care of $50
tons OF beets daily. The total cost of
the plant when opened for work next
october will be fully half a million
dollars.
1t has been known for some time
that negotiations were in progress be-
tween the owners of the old Esterly
harvester works at St Louis Park
which might result in their purchase
and transformation into beet sugar
factory, but it was not until within the
last few days that the deal was con-
summated. Since then, however,
progress has been rapid. Contracts
have been let, and the company which
is sponsor for the deal have been as
sured that the plant will be in running
order by Oct. /. Work on the recon-
struction of the buildings will begin at
once.
The new company is incorporated
with capital stock of S250,000. At
its head are State Senators Keller and
Theden, and to their efforts is due its
organization.

TELLS A SAD STORY.
Semitic Listens with Interest to Sen.
atOrProctor's Recital of Situa-
ton In Cuba.

Washington, March IS. = Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, who returned last
Sunday from an extended trip to and
day afternoon made statement to the
senate of his observations on the island.
Senator Proctor was accorded the
closest attention throughout his speech.
He confined himself to his manuscript,
and at the conclusion, while there was
no demonstration, he was cordially con-
graduated by many of his colleagues.
A synopsis follows:
He began by saying that more impor-
lance had been attached to his visit than
necessary, but he thought public state
ment would be beneficial. The only thing,
he said, that he had said about the mat
ter to the president was that he was 60
ing and asked If there was any objection
to it, and was told that there was none.
He had letters from Assistant Secretary of
State Day and business men of the United
States He said that Gen. Lee and other
United States representatives in Cuba af-
forded him opportunity to secure informa-
ton.
He denied that he made the statement
that the Maine was blown up from the
outside, but might have said that was
the opinion in Havana. The senator
thought there was no definite informal ton
to be obtained upon this feature.
Outside of Havana there was desola-
ton and misery. People were surround
ed by trochas and controlled by forts
or block houses. His observations, he said,
were in the four western provinces. Out
side of the trochas and forts there were
no habitations or people living. The Span
iards, he said, held in the four provinces
only what their army sits on.
Senator Proctor described at some
length the condition of the reconcentrados
saying one-half of them had died owing
to the manner in which they had been
kept in the small houses and bad SANTA
ton. 1t was no wonder that one-half had
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1898-03-23

thinking the condition of the people had
been overdrawn, but found their situa ton
terrible What he saw he could not tell
so others could see. In one place in Ha-
vana, the senator said, he saw 400 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 desti-
tute,' and. he added: THE condition of
the reconcentrados will not be changed I'M
til peace comes. Gen. Blanco's order of
November Is is Of little practical USE No
beneficial results have followed" For this
he did not blame Gen. Blanco, as Blanco
looked at the matter from military poin'
of view.
AS to the military, he said there were
about G0.C00 Spanish troops He thought
they would fight well. There was no ar
tillery. The troops live in barracks. The
cavalry is mounted mostly on ponies. He
said the Cubans had about 10000 men il
the field and were very active. The Cuba ms
were well armed. but poorly supplied with
ammunition. About one-third of the Cubar
army are negroes The cavalrymen fur
nish their own horses. The dividing line
between the parties is sharp 1t is Cubans
against Spaniards. The autonomists he did
not consider as they were inconsiderable
in number.
The Spaniards did not want perfect au-
tonomy. as it meant government by the
Cubans. He inquired as to autonomy of
men of wealth, business and professional
men,. Without exception their reply was
that it was too late for autonomy 1t
was, he said, too late for peace under Span
ish rule Some favored annexation 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 revolutions. He would
not make any recommendations as to what
should be done. He thought the matter
might safely be left to an American presi-
dent and the American people. With these
words he closed
