Mr.. Hays
Cornered.
John Lind Did Not Make the Remark At
tributed to Him by the Sleepy
Eye Editor.
Mr.. Chaffee Brands the Correspondent
B. With Rather UncomfOrt-
/ able Name.

H. G. Hays, WHO is always waiting for
an opportunity to misrepresent and MS
cons'rue, didn't overlook the opportuni-
ty offered by Mr.. LIMBS speech at Sleepy
Eye to ply his usual vocation. ~ "
As soon as the speech was over Hays
fastened to a telegraph Office and sent
the following to the Pioneer Press: a
"Mr. Lind in his speech this evening
said: We may attribute our victory to
the undying principles of the Chicago
platform and to thu leadership of that
grand and brilliant man, William Jen-|
nings Bryan. This practically makes Il
free silver victory of the contest just
| ended.'
The Review editor was present during
all of Mr.. Limbs speech and knows, he.
You'd dispute, that no such statement
| was ever made.
Lind himself enters DENIAL in the
following interview with the Minneapo-
| lis Times: cit IS not worth while for ME
to enter into any denial, but did not
say what l was quoted as saying. My
time IS too much occupied for me to
answer all the miscellaneous liars who
choose to misrepresent me. AS a mat
ter of fact J. did not use the word silver
in my speech at Sleepy Eye once. I said
that the magnificent battle made by Mr..
Bryan two years ago was one of the fac
tors which contributed to our victory
this year. That is all the foundation
there is for the statement"
| Fl. L. Chaffee, who sat on the plat
form with Mr.. Lind, adds his testimony
as follows:
"lIe not only did not use the language
attributed to him in the special, but on
the contrary, he did not make any refer
ence to the monetary question whatso-
ever. The correspondent was either mis-
Informed or else he deliberately falsi6ed
i'll this matter. Every person who heard
Mr.. Lind will bear me out in this state
ment. The correspondent from Sleepy
Eye will never say that he heard Mr..
Lind make that utterance, but when
c"rnered will probably try to avoid the
O lium which follows a bold faced falsi
ii r by explaining Someone told me so.
Let him name the man who told him
SO, and 800 people of Sleepy Eye will
brand him as the modern Ananias of
Brown county and celegate him to the
place where all liars will eventually go.''
No value would attach to this con.
, troversy were it not for the fact that AL
effort is being made to represent the
governor-elect as having dealt unfairly
with the Voters of the state.

New Railroad
Project.
The Northwestern to Build a Line from
Iowa to Sanborn.
The Proposed Branch Will Cut Into the
Territory of the Minneapolis &
St. Louis.

According to the Redwood Gazette
articles of incorporation have been filed
IN that county for new railroad con-
Meeting with the Northwestern road, at
Sanborn and running in southeasterly
direction through the counties of Brown,
Cottonwood, Martin and Watonwan to
point in Iowa, thus giving the people
in the southwestern of the state direct
communication with the Iowa coal fields
and shorter route to Omaha and the
west.
That the Northwestern is behind the
scheme is apparent from the list of Of
fce1s mentioned in the articles of incor-
poration.
The Gazette says: For a long time
the Northwestern has wanted to do some
thing of this sort, but it has been
obliged to proceed cautiously to prevent
similar action by rival roads. The pres
ent plan not only carries out their wish
es, but it also cuts off all territory for
the Minneapolis and St. Louis providing
that road intends to proceed from New
Tim to Omaha as was the original in
tention.
The attorney who filed the articles of
incorporation stated that the road would
be pushed rs rapidly as possible, and that
one of the places it would touch in it's
run for the north, was Butterfeld, in
Waterman county. From that point it
will practically proceed to the north
west, providing it strikes Sanborn,
which it does not entirely agree to do.
There is some reason to believe that the
road will never stop at Sanborn, but
that it will proceed north to some OBJ
jective point like Fargo or Moorhead,
with the view Of tapping the two great
transcontiaental lines that touch those
two towns, thus exchanging business

Want q New Law.

w 0hS q A>S" Law
A law Intended to enable gram men
to erect elevators on railway property
without resorting to expensive and time
wasting r,d tape, will be presented at
the coming session of the state legisla-
ture. 1t is now being drafted by Rail
way and Warehouse Commissioner Kings
ley, who believes it will do much toward
modifying the dissatisfaction of the
farmers O: the state in regard to grain
inspection.
The present law requires that if a
railroad objects to an elevator beng
erected on its property the petitioners
must go to the district court and await
the tedious process of law with its de-
lays and uncertainties. The railroads
are masters of the situation and can die
tate the location and capacity OF an ele-
vator on its line.
- Under the terms of the proposed meas
ure petitioners for an elevator may APP
peal directly to the railway ard ware
house commissioners who will make
their findings and protect all parties, so
either side may secure review in the
district court. Ii such reviews the com
missioner rs will lie the respondents and
the attorney general will lie required to
defend the case, and to avoid delay the
petitioners will he authorized to erect
their elevator after executing a bond
with sureties issued by the clerk of the
district court, that they will pay the
compensation finally awarded. The pc
iitioners will not have to 60 to the ex-

Washington, March s-General Greely,

ANOTHER WARsHIP AT HOME.
Gunboat Machias, Which Has Been in
AsIatic Waters for Three Years,
Reaches Norfolk.

Washington March 9.-All naval move
ments, no matter how insignificant, are now
watched with unusual interest in view of
their possible connection with the plans of
the government for the national defense in
the event of an outbreak OF hostilities. Con-
sequently, the arrival Of the gunboat Ma
chias at Norfolk this morning gave rise
to all sorts of speculation. AS matter
of fact, this vessel, which has just con-
cluded a three years cruise on the Asiatic
station was ordered home about two
months ago, long before the present situa-
ton had reached anything like an acute
stage. She made the voyage in leisurely
manner by way of the Suez canal and the
Mediterranean sea, and made an interrupt
ed run from Funchal, Madeira islands, TO
Hampton Roads consuming about seventeen
days on the trip. She is said to be in need
of a thorough overhauling and undoubtedly
will be docked for that purpose. In case
she should be needed however, it would not
take very long to put her in condition for
active service. Inasmuch as there is no ap-
parent necessity for reinforcing the already
formidable fleet in the vicinity Of Key West.
II is more than likely that the Machias will
remain where she is for some time to come,
unless it should be deemed preferable to
have her take station in the harbor of New
York.

tic station. which recently went to st.

The Cincinnati, flagship of the South At

II is expected that both vessels will remain

COLUMBIA AND MINNEAPOLIS
Two More Crack Cruisers Will Soon
BE Ready to Help Whip
SDain.

Washington, March 9.-There were fewer
signs of excitement and haste at the war
and navy departments to-day, and such
preparations as are being made toward
putting the army and navy into efficient
condition are now going on with more
method and less exhibition of the feverish
spirit of apprehension that characterized
the proceedings of the last few days. There
is general expression Of belief that. for
the time at least, there is no prospect of
a hostile collision. and that what seemed
to be crisis has been safely passed.
In the navy department the officials were
devoting their attention largely to the fit
ting out of the triple screw cruisers Min
neapoliS and Columbia. Thanks to the
ability with which officers of the naviga-
tion bureau have carried out the plans
formed by Secretary Long last fall for the
creation of reserve list of naval vessels,
both of these fine ships are in excellent
condition, and can go into service in an
incredibly short time. compared with the
period that would have been consumed had
they been put out of commission. was
the practice whenever it was not found eX
pedient to keep them in active service.
While lying in reserve at League island
they have been in fresh water, and so have
not accumulated crop of barnacles or
retarding marine vegetation.
AS to the destination of the two flyers,
it is said at the navigation bureau this
morning that that point has not been set
tied. These ships were designed especially
as commerce destroyers. The first one
launched, the Columbia, was nicknamed
'The Pirate" long before the navy depart
ment could. formally attach q name to the
ship. They are not calculated to fight
warships, and, owing to their light bat
teries, would make sorry showing against
anything that carried guns heavier than
six-inch caliber, provided they were cor
nered and prevented from flight which
would be their strong point in such case.
But for running down fleet merchantmen,
and for looking after such merchant ves-
sells as might be pressed into the navy from
auxiliary lists, they would be of inestima-
BILE value.
1t is likely that the two vessels will go
to Hampton Roads as soon as they are
fitted out and manned, which is expected
to be about the 18th inst, according to the
dates upon which the officers are ordered
to report. It Is desirable to get them down
the Delaware safely without undue haste.
and at Hampton Roads they would be
ready for quick work. There they will
meet the Brooklyn. The detail of officers
to command the cruisers was announced at
the navy department to-day.
Captain E. j. Sands is to command the
Columbia, and Captain T. F. Jewell the
Minneapolis.

SPAIN'S LACK OF FUNDS.
Minister WoodfOrd Alleged to Have
Reported That Her Every Re-
source Is Exhausted,

New York, March "a cablegram just
received from Minister Woodford has been
laid before the cabinet by the president,
says the Worlds Washington correspond
ent. declares that Spain has exhausted ev-
cry means of raising money for the pros
ecution of a war without success. All the
financial centers of Europe have rejected
her overtures. General woodford pro-
nounces it an utter impossibility for Spain
to secure funds with which to engage in
hostilities against the United States.
In reference to the political conditions
which impelled the ministry to suggest the
recall of General Lee, Minister Woodford
;said that Sagasta was friendly to the United
States and would make every possible con-
cession to preserve peace. The future dam
ger. said General Woodford. lies with the
people. With a hostile majority in the
cortes. and the probability that this will
be continued at the forthcoming elections,
the overthrew of the Sagasta ministry is
not unlikely. The succeeding ministry
would be pledged to war IN order to avoid
yItrosuuon: 81 e.-E, -
If the Sagasta ministry retains power,
General Woodford believes that Spain
would endure humiliation rather than de-
clare war against the United States.
