A GREAT STATE.

Moses Folsom, of ST. Paul, adver-
Using agent Of the Great Northern
railway, was in the city today in the
interest Of that road.
Mr. Folsom has spent good deal Of
time of late in Montana and is enthu-
siastic over the future Of that wonder
full commonwealth. With over 150,-
900 square miles, the population is
only about one to the square mile: so
so there is room in the state yet with
out crowding. Montana already leads
the Union in having the largest
average per capita wealth; is first in
the number OF sheep; is first in pounds
of wool produced is first in output OF
copper; second in silver and third in
gold. 1t has vast forests and more
water in rivers and lakes than all of
the states south of it to the Cuff of
Mexico. 1t has enough available
water power to run the factories of a
continent. 1t produces all the staple
go ohu SIOpo Aho pOSSOSoOS q
climate much milder than the states
on the same parallel to the east It's
seasons are tempered by the mild
chinook winds from the Pacific. Mr..
Folsom says homesteads can still be
taken in the Milk River Valley and
other parts Of the state within sight
and hearing Of trains on the Great
Northern, and he wonders why men
will rent farms in the East when
they can get free farms of their own
out there. Mr.. Folsom has printed
matter which he sends free to in
qCirers by addressing him at ST. Paul,
Mimi. He will also be glad to an
swer all letters Of inquiry.

Matters Under Consideration
Outside the Limits of the
Original Protocol.
SPANIARDs ARE CUNNING
Seek to Learn the Intentions of
America and Not Expose
Spain'S Position.
Discussions Cover a Wide
Range and Are Practically
Without Result.

WASHINGTON, Dec. SIT can be
stated positively that no hitch has oc-
CURED in the proceedings of the peace
commission at Paris, and an impression
to the contrary in certain quarters prob
ably arose through misunderstanding
of the phase those proceedings have
reached. With the acquiescence by the
Spanish commissioners in the American
demands set out in the original protocol
all danger of failure to reach the point
of signature of a peace treaty disap-
peared, and that such treaty will ba
forthcoming, covering at least all of the
protocol points, is considered assured.
What is now going on in Paris is ne
gotiation respecting certain objecta
which the United States government
seeks to accomplish in that manner in.
stead of resorting to the more usual, but
more tedious, method of correspondence
between the two governments.

International Tribunal to Fix RESPONSE

NEW YORK, Dec. "a special from
Paris says: The drafts Of articles have
been submitted by the Spanish commits
sioners relating to the nationality of in
habitants of coded territory, the juris
diction of courts, the continuing OF
grants and contracts for public works
services in the coded territory and
kindred matters.
The Spanish idea is that, having
yielded in the main principles, they will
gain important advantages in the de
tails.
One article provides that the Unite,
States and Spain shall appoint an inter
national commission of seven experts
each country to name one of its citizens
one Briton and one Frenchman, with a
German to be the president. This com
mission is to determine responsibility
for the Maine disaster. IF Spain is re

our train like fortress, and sped on
our way. There are some good parts
to Arizona, but We do not see them
on this line OF railway.
The next morning we entered eastern
California, which Is even more worth
less, in appearance, than western
Arizona. And yet they say they can
raise almost anything on their sandy
wastes, if only watered. Here we mad
quite an incident. The train only
six hours ahead OF US, had been ,"heid

brave expressman killed one and cap
tured one, and all were taken the
next day. We saw the dead bandit
on the platform. He was nice
looking young man. and ne nae

as disguise. The Jesse James bust
ness is longer prosperous, even In
these remote places, for the express
man has learned TO shoot ana shoob
quick. The next morning we had
reached the summit OF tue Sierra
Nevada mountains, some of whose
loftier SUBMITS were blanketed with
snow. Now that our trip is nearly
over we recall the wonderful mystery
of the silence and vastness Of the
sandy void, the voiceless waste, and
the gaunt hills, that stood, like
mighty sentinels, against the skies OF
New Mexico and Arizona. Will these
deserts ever be come peopled and pros
perou>? We sli held ia our vision
the sJunted, grease-wOod bush, the
scattered wisps Of wire grass, the low
and lonely pines, the drifted sands,
and the rugged mountain spurs, be-
hind whose my steriouS shadows the
prospector may find riches that are
fabulous. La these mighty solitudes
there was a fascination to the traveller
which it is impossible to describe.
After passing the summit, about
noon,. we shot down the western
mountain slopes for an hour, amid
lofty peaks and wierd canOns, till in
one single moment we debauched
into the blooming orchards OF San
Bernardino. Out of the desert and
the rocks, we had come into new
world of beauty and flowers. Long

The vote on the proposition to in.

Those who favor incorpora ton
say that it Will result in street and

PRICES OF STAMplD ENVELOPES
REDUCED.

On January 1st, 1899, a new schedule
of prices on stamped envelopes will go
into effect at all the postoffices. The
prices of envelopes of all size will be
greatly reduced, For example, the
No. envelope, which is the most
common size furnished, will be re-
duced from $2l 50 per Thousand. the
present price, to $2l.20 size No, I, a
large size, will be reduced from $22 81
to S21.S0 per thousand; the No. 3 one
cent envelope, from SLIGO to Sill. 20,
etc.
The reduction are about in proper.
tion all through the schedule. This
change will be greatly appreciated by
those who use stamped envelopes in
large quantities.

THE THIRD DECLINES TO ENDORSE.

The Republican representatives of
the Third Congressional district at
their meeting in st Paul last evening
decided not to endorse Third dis
trict man for the speakership nor did
they take any action for anyone out
side. This is looked upon as victory
for A. N. Dare, and the city papers
claim that it gives him the cinch on
the speakership Of the house, as a
number of the members from the
Third will 60 to him. Had the Third
district given strong endorsement
to Gutterson the southern portion
would have undoubtedly gotten the
speakership, but as it is, it looks as
though it would be gathered in by
the north portion without much fur
ther trouble.

PARIS, Dec. 3.-The days session OF

but nothing was accomplished. Ths
discussions covered wide range and
when the Spaniards were pressed fol

OFF TO CHICAGO.
Committee Goes to Consult Rail-
road Officials.
Northwestern, Milwaukee and Rock
Island Roads Will be Asked to do
Something for Mankat0.

AhSSSiS -, oUIClSOu, H. L. L Tau,
VIM. M. Farr and L. P. Hunt,
Of the citizens committee,
appointed to interview Presi-
dent Marvin Hughitt, of the Chicago
& Northwestern railway system, left
this afternoon for Chicago. Its mis-
sion will be much broader than that
first prof ected, which was to endeavor
to have the division headquarters of
the Omaha road returned to Mankato
from st. James. The committee will
call upon the chief officials of the two
other systems of railway that enter
MaDkato.
President Hughitt will be asked to
straighten out the Northwestern road
between this city and New Ulm, thus
saving sixteen miles. The surveys for
this have been made. The cutoff
would leave the main Omaha track
about half way between this city and
Lake Crystal, using a few miles of
Omaha track. 1t would then cut
straight across the country to New
UIm. The through trains would fol-
low this route, which would bring
them through MaDkato Failing in
this, the committee will seek to have
the through passenger trains run into
this city on the junction stub. This
Is done at La Crosse, where the dis
lance is much greater than between
this city and Mankato Junction.
Mankato has reached the size and i'm
pOrtance where it is felt that it should
no longer be given the horse Car
service that it is now getting from
the Northwestern road.
General superintendent Williams,
OF the Milwaukee road, will also be
called upon, and it is hoped that the
conference with him will be fruitful
OF results. He will be asked to extend
the Wells branch from this city to
Cologne, on the Hastings & Dakota
branch. This would give an almost
diiSOO AouUO w - Y, a vi, on ulilcS. I
do this will require the building of
forty miles Of track f. ON this city to
Cologne. This route has already been
surveyed, and the estimates are that
che extension will cost only 100000,
or no more than the Omaha road ex-
pended in relaying a few miles of
track through this city. The Mil
waukee road would get larger re-
turn on the money SO expended than
on any other money that it has in
vested. 1t would also give Mankato
competing line to ST Paul, with the
untold benefits which that implies.
Ii would also open up to our shippers
the vast and profitable territory cov-
cred by the. Hastings & Dakota
branch.
The Rick Island people will not be
sighted by the committee. The de-
stability CT extending the Cannon
Valley division into the business por-
ton of the city and of continuing it
on TO New Uim to connect with the
road built from Minneapolis last year,
and on to Morton, will be presented
to the officials. The Minneapolis &
st. Louis would double it's business,
both passenger and freight, if it were
m1re accessible to our people.
1t is surely to be hoped that this
visit OF the committee will result in
getting something of substantial bene-
fit to the city.
