granted him leave of absence until July %.
Mr.. Crows visit to Washington as this time
was for the purpose Of meeting the officials
OF the Postofice department and to urge
some changes In the matter of salaries Of
the employees connected with the Omaha
office. He succeeded in his mission beyond
his expectations. Assistant Postmaster

plea. seconded by Senator Thurston, has
been advanced to $1,900-50 per cent of the
postmaster's salary, as provided by law.
| Although there are but nine assistant post
masters in the United States receiving this
salary by reason of postofice appropria-
ton bills, Assistant Postmaster General
Heath went so far as to declare a deficiency
IL necessary to increase Mr.. Woodlands
salary. there being no vacancies in the
81 900 class.
Postmaster Crow also secured a new mail
wagon for Omaha and had assurances that
the salaries of some of the minor employees
will be increased at the close of the present

RICH HARVEST IN NEBRASKA

Farmers Are Improving Their
Lands and Buildings.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1S.-Frank II.
Peavey, who left Minneapolis a week ago,
by special train, on an inspection trip
through Nebraska and Kansas, intended to
cover an examination OF the crops and his
elevator properties in those states and in
Kansas City. returned today. He said:
"Our trip covered the Union Pacific line in
Nebraska and Kansas. We went west to
North Platte, Neb., and from Manhattan and
Salina In Kansas to Kansas City. / found
wheat better than l expected to in Ne
braska, and in Kansas about so per cent Of
last years yield on the Union Pacific sys-
tenn, which makes a better showing than on
lines further south, however. With no acct
dent to corn Kansas will break all her
records as a corn producing state.
"In Nebraska the corn looks better than
in Kansas If that is possible. The farmers
are improving their lands and buildings sub
stantially and also their dwellings"
Mr.. Peavey said that the prospect was so
encouraging that he should build a new
line of elevators in Nebraska. and would
probably add to his system In Kansas.
AS to northwest prospects Mr.. Peavey said
"Our private reports suggest a splendid
wheat harvest for the northwest. 1t looks

N. e., July 1S.-In the fighting which
occurred at Sofata in the Suatles
district July 4, one Malieoan chief
was MORALLY wounded and two Ma
taafa chiefs and one Suatele were killed
and three others wounded. The British
cruiser Tauranga and the German cruiser

The joint commissioners will leave for

bers left for San Francisco on July IA. Not
desiring to return he has sent his resigna-
ton to President Mckinley, who does not
wish his resignation. The question whether
this constitutes a vacancy in the chief JUS
ticeship is being discussed by the COM
missioners. DR.. Solf claims that he Will
preside over the presiding court il
leaves the island. II there is no vacancy
then either Hunter or MAR may be desig-
mated to fill the chief justiceship.
The commissioners are much blamed for
not ordering the restitution of loot taken
by rebels. Mataafa partisans among the
rebels are raising funds to fight the king
ship question through lawyers and are con-
fident of obtaining a rehearing. Mataafa,
however, accepts the abolition Of the king
ship and will be present at a meeting of
the commissioners on Savaii island. His
supporters request the dismissal Of Chief
Justice Chambers and defy the order of the
supreme court.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. July 1S.-According to
specials to the Pioneer Press the trouble
over the townsite at Cass Lake in the
Red river reservation is practically settled.
Today Captain Mercer, the Indian agent, and
Special Inspector Nessler held a confer
ence at Cass Lake with the settlers and
upon their recommendation some $50 appli-
cations for land leases were made. An as
surance was given that such applications
would be approved for terms of from one
to Ave years. Many more persons will avail
themselves of the opportunity to apply for
land leases. BY this means the townsite
can remain as at present till title to the
lands can be secured.

HAVANA, July ls.-The truth regarding
shows that a regular revolutionary party
has been established with headquarters in
Havana. its object being to incite Cubans
thu oughout the entire country. This party
has agents in every large city, and also a
junta in Mexico, one of the agents OF which
Is now here. All this Is perfectly well
known to the authorities, and no mani
fcsto come off the press without the gov
ernor general receiving a copy of 1t.
or course, these infammatory addresses
are hurtful to the peace of the country,
but 1t is generally considered 1t would work
more harm to arrest the leaders OF the move
ment, who would undoubtedly pose as mar
tyrs. which is seemingly their desire, for,
though they must know that their machina-
tions are discovered, they persist In the agi-
tation. Each province has or will have an
address widely circulated signed by some
prominent name. sufficiently common to be
borne by many and thus to prevent the ac-
c~usation OF forgery.
One such appeal recently issued in the
province OF Santiago reads as follows:
With my soul stirred with enthusiasm
by your digni1ed action under the humili-
ating conditions in which we are placed
by the intervening government, ! raise my
voice to you, brave comrades and obedient
soldiers OF the immortal Maceo. asking in
glorious remembrance of his name that you
again swear you Will die on the battle
field before you will live like miserable
towards, yoked and tied, like the disin-
herited offspring of our forefathers, allow
Ing a perjured foreign flag to float where
our shores should be marked only by the
blessed emblem Of the lone star.
You who turned your backs on this vile
metal which pretended to pay for the arms
which cost so many sacrifices will know
how to use them again should 1t be nee
essary in defense of our Just rights, be-
cause the great and powerful are small and
cowardly when they face justice and truth.
l shall always be first to die for you or
carry you to glory. Your brother and gen
eral, DUANY.

night in celebration of the anniversary OF
the surrender of Santiago. The principal
speakers were General Wilson, military gov
ernor of the Matanzas-Santa Cara depart
ment, and General Pedro Betancourt, civil
governor of Matanzas.
La Lucia, commenting upon the revolu-
tionary manifesto recently issued, says the
fanatical ideas advanced are producing re-
suits the opposite OF those intended. Procla-
nations OF this character the paper believes
to be the work OF irresponsible parties, as
no sane person believes a revolution possible

ISSUE FALLS TO REAR.
Maryland Committeeman Talks on
the New Democratic Platform.

CHICAGO, July 1s,-Colonel l., Victor
Baughman of Frederick, Md, was the first
of the eastern politicians TO arrive in Chi
cago today for the meeting OF the national
democratic committee. Colonel Baughman is
the political representative of Senator
Arthur p. German and holds his proxy as a
national committeeman. In an interview to-
night. Colonel Baughman said:
"As to Senator Germans views on silver
and his attitude toward the last democratic
platform, ! would say that the senator is a
man who never hesitates to express his own
views upon all great public questions, and,
while he may have taken issue with his
friends in the last campaign and thought 1t
unwise to force such issues on the party, he
was at least loyal to the nominee OF the
party and carried out the teachings OF
democracy by rendering his aid and support
to the ticket.
Frankly, | will say that do not think
silver Is the most important issue. That
great question was submitted for arbitration
before the American people and decided ad-
yersely. At this time | am unable TO see the
necessity Of again demanding that 1t should
be the leading issue. There are more mo-
mentous questions to consider, questions OF
government policy, in which the people are
deeply interested at this time.

will close Sunday night. There are over
100 addresses on the program. Meetings will
be held simultaneously at English's opera
house, Tomlinson hall and at a big tent

furnished by three choruses of 400 voices
each under the direction Of r. o. Excel Of
Chicago, Prof. ]. M. Black of Wilfiamsport,
Pa, and Prof. w. o.. Hemphill Of Texas. A
noticeable feature Of the official decora-

ian visitors feel perfectly at home.

Is a picture ten feet square of Queen
Victoria, while on the opposite side APP
pears the likeness of President Mckinley.
The vanguard of the leaguers arrived this

number from San Francisco.
These delegations represent two factions
that are contending for the meeting place
