Insurance.

Insurance Commissioner Harrison
has prepared statement of the amount
of premiums for fire insurance paid to
the different companies in the states
from cities which have volunteer fire
departments, and the amounts of the 2
per cent tax paid by the state to the
volunteer fire departments under the
law. There are 3S cities and towns in
the state which have volunteer fire de-
partments which benefit from this pro-
vision of the law, and the amounts
range from $50 to over $1,000. Grand
Forks receives the largest amount,
81, l05. Fargo follows with a little over
thousand, and Grafton, Bismarck,
jamestown, Valley City, Wahpeton and
several other towns of about the same
size follow with from $500 to $500 each.
Under the new law passed at the last
session of the legislature, the state
auditor will pay these amounts to the
several volunteer fire departments on
the first of June, SO that the companies
may have the funds for use at the time
of the annual tournament at Wahpcton
in June.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
Best Vegetables.

President Mcdonald. of the Street
Fair association. received handsome
bronze medal from the secretary of the
Omaha exposition, for the best display
of garden vegetables were selected
from among those exhibited at tho
street fair last fall at Grand Forks.
The award is a significant one. as
the exhibit came into direct competi-
tion with those from every other state
in the west, and it is an assured fact
that the exhibitors. furnished the best
products which they could obtain, and
the fact that vegetables raised on
North Dakota soil have, by competent
judges, been accepted as superior to
the best products of other states, is
matter of which every North Dakotan
should be proud. The superiority of
this soil and climate for the growth of
vegetables has often been claimed by
local people. but they, of course, may
be supposed to be more or less prcju-
diced. When this claim is endorsed by
unprejudiced men. from other states.
however, the matter wears different
aspect, and North Dakota real estate
ought to advance several notches on
the strength of the award.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-The special meet
ing of the committee of the silver re-
publican party adjourned to-day tc
meet again at the call of the chairman
after having taken action that practi-
cally assures the fusion of the party
with the democratic and populist
parties, the endorsement of the demo-
cratic platform and the presidential
candidate of that party. The eub-com-
mittee appointed yesterday to decide on
the most practical date and place for
holding the national convention and also
to report on matters of practical or
ganization for the campaign, including
the apportionment of delegates from
the various states to the national con-
vention submitted it's report to the COM
n1ittee to-day and, after a lengthy discus
sion, it's recommendations with one or
two minor amendments were adopted.
The sub committee recommended that all
of the matters in question be referred
for action to the executive committee,
of which former Senator Fred w. Du-
bois of Idaho is chairman.
Chairman Towne gave out the follow
ing official statement OF the action of
the committee "A resolution was
unanimously adopted that a national
convention of the silver republican
party be held and the executive COM
mittee was instructed to confer with
the democratic and populist national
committees in an effort to secure, If
possible, the holding Of all three ma
tional conventions at the same time and
place and at the earliest practicable
date, to the end that complete co-opera
tions of the reform forces may be had.
The executive committee was authoriz-
ed to determine the number Of dele
gates to the national convention, the
same to be not less than 1000, to ar
range the basis of selection and to al
lot the representation from each state.
1t was decided that the call for the
convention shall include as eligible to
representation all those voters who

CHAMBERLAIN ON THE WAR
HE DECLARES THE GOVERNMENTS
POLICY FULLY JUSTIFIED.
The War Inevitable Although Kruger
Would Have Preferred to Wait Until
England Was Involved With Some
Other Power British Supremacy for
the Future Beyond Any Doubt.

| London, Nov. 29.--Addressing a meet
ing of 1000 people in Leicester this
evening Joseph Champerlain devoted
the greater part of long speech to a
justification of the governments pol
| icy in South Africa and to a refutation
of the arguments of the Earl of Kim
berley, Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
and Others. According to Sir Henry
Campbell ll-Bannerman," said Mr. Cham
berlain, I'VE ought to have skulked back
to our hole when Mr. Kruger refused
to listen to our peaceful representa-
tons That would have lost us South
Africa, weakened our hold upon India
and earned us the contempt of man
kind
He reiterated that the war was in
evitable, although doubtless Mr..
Kruger would have preferred to wait
until England was involved with some
other power"
Referring to the conditions under
which the Gladstone government grant
ed the convention of 1881, he denied that
the grant was made because Mr.. Glad
stone feared a general Dutch uprising.
THE real reason he asserted, was
leved the annexation of the Transvaal
in 1877 occurred under misapprehen-
sion by Lord Beaconsfied that major
ity of the Beers desired annexation. 1t
was afterwards proved that this was
not their desire and the annexation was
cancelled"
Referring to the basis and conditions
of settlement after the war, Mr.. Cham
berlain said: II do not like to divide
the skin before 1 have caught the bear,
but / must insist that the Beers by
their own action, have created clean
sheet, upon which we can write what
we please, and feel convinced that our
loyal fellow subjects in Cape Colony
and Natal would regard no solution as
durable which did not provide beyond
the shadow of a doubt for the suprem-
acy of the British flag-the only guar
antee of settled peace and the only Sc
curity for the just treatment of all the
races of South Africa"

the date of the coming concert. The
work to be performed Is Mendelssohns
Elijah and the chorus will number
some three hundred and fifty voices.
The soloists are yet to be determined
upon and their names will be announc-
ed later. 1t is certain that an effort
will be made to secure a fine quartette
of oratorio singers and negotiations are
pending with great operatic baritone
and an equally famous oratorio bari
tone, either of whom would be a tre-
mendous attraction. The concert will
be given in the Hyperion as usual. The
orchestra has not yet been engaged,
but it is likely to be the New Haven
Symphony orchestra On account of
tht Thanksgiving holiday and the alb
sence from town of many members Of

TROOPS ARE TO LEAVE CUBA
SECRETARY OF VAR APPROYES
GEN. WOODS RECOMMENDATION
Rumors OF impending Trouble In tho
Island Declared GroundIess by Con.
Wood-No Possibility OF an Outbreak
Among the Rural Guards.-Ths Matter
Ofa Civil GOyernor wv
or . Civn Governor,

Washington, Nov. 29.-General Leon
ard Wood. who reached Washington
last night, had a two hours confer
ence with the secretary of war to-day.
After the conference Secretary Root
announced that General Woods recon-
mendations as to the removal Of troops
from Cuba had been approved and that
orders would be issued putting them
into effect.
General Wood said that in his opin-
ion all the rumors Of impending
trouble in Cuba were groundless that
there was no real prospect OF a revolt
and that whatever distrust and discon-
tent did exist among the Cubans was
due to the recent talk of civil COVER
nor for the island. When asked about
the report of his selection for this po-
sition, General Wood said: IT do not
know a thing about 1t. I have heard
nothing Of the plan for civil governor
except what have seen in the papers.
1t has not been offered to me- and T
have not been asked for any SUCCESS
tions on the subject"
When asked If there was any possi-
bility Of an outbreak among the rural
guards, General Wood said: mo more
than there is of an insurrection among
the police force in Washington" Con-
cerning his mission to Washington, he
said that it was merely for consulta-
ton about the reduction of the Ameri-
can force in the island II have recon-
mended reduction of about 20 per
cent. of the force in my department.
said General Wood. THAT is to say
the recall of the Fifteenth infantry,
and the removal of squadron from
each of the cavalry regiments. think
that this is perfectly feasible. When
say that Santiago is quiet, it is pretty
fair indication Of the condition through
out the island. Every revolution that
has started there has started in Sam
tiago province and in the last war sew
enty per cent. of the troops were drawn
from that province
Regarding the general condition in
his department., General Wood said
that there were five courts being Oper-g
ated under American military super
vision, thus preventing delays. The
people were being kept reminded that
in case of palpable maladministration
through reversion to the old Spanish
methods they had always the right to
appeal and have any matter thoroughly
People were being kept
employed and the detailed reforms OF
the petty courts and the lower school
system were things that would come
eventually through patient work and
local education. 1t is stated that the
president has decided on the reward to
be allotted to General Wood when his
term of service in Cuba is over. 1t Is
said on good authority that General
Wood is slated to succeed General
George M. Sternberg as surgeon gem
eral of the administration when the
latter retired by law in June of the
coming year.

last juror in the case of Roland B. Mol
ineux on trial on the charge of causing
the death of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams

mony Of administering the oath to Mr..
Crane Recorder Goff turned on the jury
and explained that both the prosecution
and the defense had consented to an
adjournment until Monday, tomorrow

1t was his desire to give the jurors a
rest before entering upon the serious la-
bors of the trial and that he was glad
to be able to grant them the opportun-
ity of spending the holiday with family
or friends.
To secure the jury of 12 men it re-
quired IL DAYS Of tiresome and techn,,.
cal work on the part of court and coun-
sci. Five hundred and four talesmen
were examined; but only fifteen could
stand the test, large majority of the
candidates for the jury box being ruled
out because of conscientious scruples
concerning capital punishment, circuni-
stantial evidence and expert testimony.
or the fifteen talesmen who were ac-
cepted three, Daniel Fr;nd, Abraham
Altmayer and Morris Braude were
eventually excused by the recorder or
the ground of LII health.
