1T shows utter disregard for the
rights of the public and the rights of
neighbors when property owners put
up unsightly crsmped little cottages,
with not the first pretence to architec-
tural design, on the best streets crowd
ed in close to better houses. Unfortun-
ately there is no law to prevent such
but the practice at once
brands the selfish owner as one who
cares absolutely nothing for the rights
of any body but himself, and his own
concern is limited to his pocketbook.

SPAIN isn't through fighting the
war yet. She continues to try all her
bravest men By court martial for sur
rendering. Too bad for her that some
of these courts martial did not come
before the war, to examine the re-
cords of certain very unpopular colo
NAL governors. Murderers were con-
tinued in Office and protected, while
the brave soldiers and sailors who shed
glory on their race are prosecuted, so
it appears, because they had honor and
fought fairly.

THE boiling democrats in Kentucky
have indeed hard job before them
when they attempt to build "fnan-
cial plank agreeable to both the sound
money and the free silver factions" OF
the boilers. There is decided break
from the Goebel ranks, and all the talk
of "harmony after the convention"
seemed to be wind and nothing more.
If the republicans steer their ship
carefully they have Kentucky secure

DEMAND FOR $4,000 MEN.
Farmers Appeal to the Railroads for
Harvest Hands. Secure
Sufficient Help for Present Pur-
poses.-They Fear Scarcity
When Harvesting Begins.

| Minneapolis Times.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern general Offices are receiving
urgent demands for harvest hands from
the farmers of North Dakota and Mon
tana. From reports which have come
in during the past two days North
Dakotaswill be seriously handicapped
unless additional men .can be secured.
Inquiry among the brokers and en-
ployment agents of St. Paul yesterday
showed that there are no men obtain
able in the city.
1t was stated at the offices of the
Northern Pacific that the demand for
men all along that line WAS general
and urgent. 1t Is still three weeks be-
fore harvest begins but sufficient help
cannot be found to supply the present
demand. Wages are going up. Unless
an unlocked for supply of men Is found
during the next ten days field hands
will be securing higher wages than for
years, and many farmers will suffer Sc
we're loss through not being able to har-
vest their crops.
A rough estimate from reports E.
ceived indicates that fully $4,000 men
can now find EN- ploymen in the harvest
fields of the Dakotas, Montana and
western Minnesota. This time last
year the movement west was marked,
the coast lines being obliged to send
out special trains Tor Inc accOrnmOQa-
ton of harvest hands. But not more
than 1000 men are thought to have
gone west for employment during the
past two or three weeks. The explana-
tion of the change which ia offered by
the railroads is to the effect that gen.
eral trade conditions are far better
than one year ago and that the MAORI |
ty of men who went west in the fall
have found steady employment in 9TH
er lines. Plainly, it is not due to high |
railroad rates, for harvest rates are
cheaper this season than ever before.
A Minneapolis Times special from
Chicago says:
Hundreds of men are being taken out |
Of Chicago daily for the harvest fields |
of the northwest. The demand for |
la Dor in the great wheat belts of Min |
nesota and the Dakotas has become SO |
pressing that the railroads have been |
forced to reduce their rates for the |
2 God of the southwest country. At q
special meeting of the general |
passenger agents of the lines running
between Chicago and st. Paul, in this
city, today. it was resolved that some
action must be taken to relieve the
situation by getting laborers north.
AS q result, the general passenger
agents authorized the sale of tickets
from Chicago to Minneapolis and St.
Paul for harvest workers at 81 SIS. This
ate will be used only for parties OF ten

New York, Jan. 3O.-The movement of
stock prices to-day was extremely varia-
BILE and after alternate strength and de-
preston the market left off firm, with
mixed changes above Saturdays final
quotations. The supply of money con-
tinued abundant at reasonable rates and
was unaffected by February dividend and
interest requirements. Gold to the
amount of $4,000 was engaged for import
and cable advices were that three and a
half million dollars Of gold had been pur-
chased in London for America. The Pc
riodical railway earnings reports that APP
peared were gratifying. The volume Of
business was again more than a million
shares, and because of the continued ac-
t.vity of the market number of COM
mission house employees worked in shifts.
London was a buyer on balance to-day
particularly of Northern Pacific and
Readings, and sold Union Pacific and
Louisvlles There was considerable shift
ing of commission house accounts from
one stock to another. with a preponder-
ance of buying orders, which for time
more than offset the attacks of the reac-
tionists.
Sugar was actively traded in and lifted
Glucose Sugar Refining company. At the
same time there were denials from va
ricus sources of a prospective agreement
with local rival companies. Disclosures
made by the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chica-
90 & st. Louis minority interest were
construed as favorable and resulted in
sharp advance in the stock, part of which
was lost on realizing. Gossip had it that
Northern Pacific was in control of the
party in favor of larger dividends and
that the stock was receiving the pools

Unconfirmcd stories of the likelihood of
the resignation of the president of the
Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago & ST.

Consolidated Gas jumped points OH as
sertions that partial union of the gas
interests on Manhattan Island had been
effected.
The sensational advances were those of
Tennessee Coal & Iron preferred, 10;
Great Northern preferred, IN; Colorado
Fuel & Iron, s. Realizations and new
bear aggression brought about heav-
ness, but strength in the specialties and
the Southwestern group steadied the mar
ket, which resumed it's upward course.
The grangers. after periods of inactivity,
rose moderately. Western Union and
Reading issues were also lifted. Profit
taking again encouraged a smart raid on
values effecting numerous declines. Gen
eral recoveries ensued in the final deal
irgs and the market closed firm.
The bond market developed considerable
irregu]arity to-day, but the variations for
the most part were unimportant, outside

fresh flood of crop damage reports, to-

seaboard, early sellers FASTENED to cover,
sending May up to 777sG7Sc.
The clearances of wheat and flour from
Atlantic ports were 1053.0OO bushels. Liv-

after the close of the session, caused some

CAPTAIN FREYSTAETTER.

| Distinguished Record of the Brave Frenchman Who Defended Dreyfus. | Captain Freystaetter who, like Pic quart, declines to follow the lead of his
 chiefs when they bid him act against his conscience, and who, in spite of the furious congratulations of General Mer- cler and the prevarications of Colonel Maurel, fearlessly let out yesterday the whole secret of the proceedings in camera before the 1894 court-martial, is one of the most brilliant officers in
 the French army. Born In German Alsatia. at Fenestrange, near Sarr- burg. in 1S57 Martin Freystaetter en- isted, at the age of 20, in the Foreign Legion of the French army. He very soon saw active service, and was in some half dozen engagements during the tribal rebellion in the district of Southern Gran, in Algeria. In 1882 he joined the Saint Maiyent College for non commissioned officers, and on leav- ring was promoted to be sub-lieutenant of the line. Exchanging into the Mar inc Infantry--a corps which in France is exclusively reserved for colonial ser vice-he went out to Tonquin in 1884, 
 Tuyen Quan campaigns He was gazetted for distinguished bravery during an engagement between the Chinese Back Flag pirates and the col umn commanded by General Giovan- ninelli, who was hurryinG by forced marches to relieve the besieged garri- son of Tuyen Quan, which handful of men were desperately holding against overwhelming odds. At Thua Moe, on the road 10 the invested town, General Giovannineli came upan large hostile force, strongly intrenched behind earthworks and solidly-buil bamboo palisades, and protected by number of small forts. Four hours of severe fighting resulted In the advancing col umn gaining only 200 yards on the enemy's ground. General Giovanninelli then asked for body of volunteers to make a dash through the high grass along the river, and storm the first bamboo palisade. A battalion of mar inc infantry rushed forward under murderous fire, and reached the posi- ton. The palisade was a formidable construction of bamboo trunks, some five inches thick and ten or twelve feet high firmly planted into the ground The men, without hatchets or tools of any kind, except their bayonets, made desperate efforts to break down the palisade. All the while the enemy im- mediately on the other side, and few hundred feet off on both Hanks, were pouring a deadly fire into the assailing battalion, which in the space of half an hour, lost nearly two-thirds of its officers and men.
 At last a breach was effected in the palisade. But the men held back hesi- tatngly. Then sub-leutenant of the Twenty-ninth Company cleared the breach alone, calling to the others to follow. The attack was successful, the pirates were routed, and eventually the Tuyen Quan garrison was relieved in time The sub-lieutenant who led the charge Is now Captain Freystaetter
