Emmons County Record pays
the following compliment to
the LEADERS publisher:
"Tohn Satterlund, of Mclean
county, has taken possession of
the office of receiver of the
office, succeeding the venerable
+. NJ. Kinter, one of the fairest
officials that the land office at
the Capital City has ever had.
If loyalty to Missouri Slope in
terests from the early davs,and
faithful devotion to the Repub-
lican party, entitle a man to
public honors and profit, then
is John Satterlund fully emit
tied to the important position
that has been given to him"

Unable to Understand.
Minneapolis Journal.

The present troubles will,
abe Leech Lake Indians are
merely the forcible revelation
of the discomfort that exists
among all the Chippewas OF
Minnesota except those who
are comfortably established on
the White Earth and reduced
Red Lake reservations. The
causes of this discomfort are
too many to be discussed in an
article of the brevity of this.
But one of t',em-and a fore
most one, perhaps-is general
dissatisfaction with the opera
tions of the law of 1887. The
Indians are losing their reser-
vations and are being despoiled
of their valuable timber with
out fair compensation.
There is reason to believe
that the estimating of the
amount of pine timber on the
coded lands is tinged with the
same inef:ciency, corruption
and brutal callousness to the
rights of the Indians which
have marked so large a part of
all dealings with the Indian.
Large tracts of pine are esti-
mated and sold at auction, and
when the cost of the estima-
ting is deducted from the pro.
ceeds, there is little or nothing
for the Indians. It is even
claimed that on one tract the
Red Lake Indians found that
after their timber had been sold
they owed the government
$4,000 for arranging to have it
destroyed. The simple savage
mind is unable to understand
a proposition Of that kind. y
is easier to fight and die

SUSPEND JUDGMENT.
That Is the Proper Course in the Maine
 Case Says John J. Ingalls,.


 ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. 25.-J. J. Ingalls,. of Kansas. is in Atlanta. and emphat- ically expresses himself against the present agitation for war, in view of the fact that international politics is in so delicate condition that to precipi. tate hostilities would. he thinks. place the United States in an equivocal posi- tion.
 If it develops that the Maine disas- ter was the work of Spanish brigand. and Spain disavows any responsibility or connection with it, do not see that our friendly relations should be inter- rupted. On the other hand. if the proper disavowal is not forthcoming. we must expect hostilities l believe we are on the brink of the most tre- mendous explosion that has ever been known in the worlds history"
 l am convinced that a struggle for the readjustment of frontiers is not far off, and, in view of this possibility. do not think it patriotic or wise to seek to plunge the nation into war without due deliberation and full provocation.1
 Mr Ingalls, says judgment should be suspended until an official report is made by the court of inquiry.

-----------------. - FOUR LIVES LOST.
Terrible Results of an Avalanche at South
 Quebec, Canada.

QUEBEC, Can, Feb. 25.-Four lives were lost by an avalanche at South Quebec, Tuesday night, which destroyed two houses which stood under the cliff opposite the Grand Trunk railway sheds. The house was crushed by the weight of the snow from above, while the upper stories of the other were cut clean off from the first story and over- turned in front of it upon the street. In the lower part of one of the houses resided a man named fingers, his wife and six children. The father and two children were taken out dead. Mrs. fingers is in a critical condition. In the other house James King resided with his wife, son and daughter. MT. King and his son and daughter escaped in- jury, but Mrs. King was killed.

LATEST FROM HAVANA.
Inquiry Into the Maine Disaster
 Progressing.
THE MOST INTENSE ANXIETY IS FELT,
commercial Classes at Havana Are Hopeful of American Intervention Along Peaceful Lines to
 End the War.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Evening star has received the following from Its staff correspondent in Cuba:
 HAVANA, Feb. 3, via KEY wEsT.- Inquiry into the Maine disaster pro- gresses along definite lines. The re- suits so far may be summed up in the statement that the probabilities that it was an accident seem to decrease with the progress of this investigation.
 The most intense anxiety is shown by the Spanish officials here, who are Tn constant communication with Mad rid. They realize that the relations with the United States were never so much in danger of rupture as now. This is the general feeling.
 The commercial classes here are hope ful of American intervention on peace ful lines, but what they base their hopes on is unknown
 The insurgents continue to win minor military successes. The autonomists are restless, and some of the leaders seem on the point of breaking away from the government. Army officers continue to show an anti-American sen timent. They are apparently the only class that does not look for an early crisis.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-In the senate Mir. Allen offered the Cuban belliger- ency resolution as an amendment to the diplomatic and consular appropria- tion bill.
 Mir. Hale gave notice of a point of or der against the amendment.
 Mir. Morgan, in opposing the Allen amendment, said we had no right to make declaration of this sort in this s way If this resolution was made a part of the bill Spain would have a right to consider it declaration of war
 MT. Lodge opposed the making this question a subject for rider for an ap- propriation bill. He did not believe in grave questions of foreign policy being added to appropriation bills.
 Mr. Teller said he had come to the conclusion that recognition of bellig- erency was an executive act, and all that congress could do was to express an opinion. He thought the executive ought to pay some attention to the wish of congress, but did not believe that it would do so.

AN ALASKAN AVALANCHE.
Two Hundred Tons of Supplies Buried a: the South End of Lake Bennett.

TACOMA, Wash. Feb. 25 Two weeks ago an avalanche came laundering down the mountain slopes, and at the south end of Lake Bennett an immense mass of snow and ice was deposited on the trail and 200 tons of supplies were buried many feet. Their owners had stacked them up together in what seemed to be a sheltered spot while they were whipsawing lumber for boat building.
 Now they have left only the whip saws, and are trying to dig out their outfits. So far as can be learned, no one was injured by the avalacnhe. though people in tents not far away had very narrow escape.
 This news was brought down by John Ohlegschlager, of Puyallup, Wash, who has just arrived here from Alaska

 WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-Sensational reports having been circulated that Senator Hanna had expressed the be- lief that conflict between the United States and Spain was imminent. the attention of the senator was called to them. He emphatically denied them, saying;
 Il do not believe there is anything in the Maine incident, or Tn our relations to Spain regarding Cuba, that will lead to war. am firmly of the opinion that the explosion of the Maine was due to an accident. and think that the naval court of inquiry will reach the same conclusion.
 And congress will do nothing?"

Even the secre. tary of the navy has no information. and as long as the president and the secretary of the navy and all the rest of the cabinet keep cool and quiet there is no need for the rest of the United States to get alarmed.
