The List of Those Going is Filled Already
for Tuesday, JULY 25.
Last week at the time that the Demo-
Graf took upon Itself the opening of
book for the registration of the names of
farmers desiring to take advantage of the
CT Northern's offer of free excursion to
the Agricultural College at Fargo it was
not aware that any one else had taken
the matter in hand. Last Friday morn
ing however, it transpired that an appli-
cation to the college to fix a date and q
request to the Ct Northern for the neces-
sary transportation had been jointly
made by E. E. Elford of this city and
K. N. Syverud, of Osnabrock. These
gentlemen having taken the matter up
in the interest of farmers residing
in their respective localities. Di-
rect inquiry from the Ct. Northern
brings the information that the number
composing the party will be contin ed to
fifty and as Messrs Elford and Syverud
had already obtained The requisite NUM-
Der Of names to fill the list the DEMO
Graf refralns from taking any further
steps in the matter. The date on which
the Cavalier delegation will make their
visit to Fargo is not definitely set, but
will be during the last week of the pre-
sent month, probably about the 25th
inst. We hope the visit of the delega-
ton from here will result in much bene-
fit to the farmers of Cavalier county
generally and the DEMOCRAT expects to
make arrangements so as to give a de-

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-02-01

some cuban critics have been asserting
that the United States intends to charge
upon the island revenues the cost OF the
United states troops in Cuba and the cost
OF the rations distributed to the destitute,
thus piling up a huge Cuban debt. The
statement is entirely untrue. but 1t Is be-
iieVed IN many quarters and causes no
little discomfort.
Colonel Jose Lunaz, formerly secretary
of the Cuban junta in New York and a
member of the special commission from
CUBA that has recently conferred with
PRESIDENT Mckinley, said in the course
of an Interview published in La Discus
sion to-day that the result of the COM
missions trip to Washington Is not all
that had been hoped for. owing to many
unfortunate circumstances. President
Mckinney indicated to the committee his
readiness to appropriate 100000 toward
the payment of the army. but this sum
would be quite insufficient. In the opin-
ION OF colonel IunaZ, the amount offered
would have been much greater but for
the uncertainty as to the Philippine ques-
ton and the possibility of heavy expendi-
lures there"
Cuba's hope is, he declared, that con-
gress will later on vote a credit for the
payment of the Cuban army but owing
to the peace treaty debate, the Nicaragua
canal bill and the question of army in
creases in the United States congress may
possibly be unable to attend to the ques-
ton of paying off the Cuban troops before
next December. Colonel Lunaz advises
the Cubans to begin making appeals to
that end. individually and collectively, to
Governor General Brooke and to the
Washington authorities, as has been so
successful in the case of the Banco Es-
panol. This method he regards as the best
for obtaining full payment.
The military occupation of Cuba by
the United States he said, will not last
longer than the Cubans themselves make
1t necessary. For the present the display
of armed force in Cuba must be continued
because the Washington administration
wants to represent that the United States
needs an augmented army

The Pain
OF Rheumatism!
Its Tortures Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma-
tism become constant COM
panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat OF the
disease and force it out. Swift's
Specific Is. S. S.) is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis.
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
S. S. S. neutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. II
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
of potash and mercury.

CONFERENCE WITH GOMEZ.
America will Pay $15,OOo,o0o If Cubans
Desire 1t.

Havana. Jan. 31.--Robert P. Porter, the
representative of President Mckinley, and
Senior Gonzales Quesada, the Cuban COM
missioner who recently left Washington
on a special mission to Cuba, started at
6 o'clock this morning for Caibaren, prov
ince of Santa Clara, in order to see Gen.
eral Maxine Gomez.
Mr.. Porter's mission to General Gomez
is of a twofold character, to discuss with
him fully the position of the Cuban army
and to invite him to Havana. The Wash
ington administration desires an immedi-
ate and friendly settlement of the Cuban
army question. As the military chiefs de-
cisively refuse to accept 100000 in COM
pete satisfaction of the claims of the SOL
diery, Washington has determined, it is
understood to offer a much larger sum,
even as high a sum as Sl5,000,00O, If less
will not be accepted. Whatever is agreed
upon, 1t is to be a charge upon the reve-
rues of the island until it is paid.
The Cubans, civilians and military, are
aware that an engagement of this sort
may prolong the American occupation
but as it seems to be their earnest wish
that the army be paid a large sum, the
administration at Washington will yield,
it is understood. and open negotiations
with this ultimate object.
Mr. Porter is said to carry letters from
President Mckinley and Governor Cen
eral Brooke. The scope of his instructions
is not disclosed, except that it is known
that he has rather full preliminary pow
ers. Senior Quesada did not know them
until he and Mr.. Porter were aboard ship.
The Cubans here are in a state of eXpec-
tation and excitement. Shares on the To-
cal bourse rose from one to three points
to-day, which is generally attributed to
the probability that the Cuban soldiery
will he disbanded and will return to work
Senior Quesada, before starting for Cal
barren, was interviewed by a representa-
tive of La Discussion. "A loan of $1,000
900 to pay our army will be entirely in
adequate he said. "All the city coun-
ellis in the island should petition for fur
Their loans. The American evacuation of
Cuba is a question of months only. With
caimness and patience all will end we'll"
The cost of running Cuba during the
month of January has been between $780,
900 and 81, 000, 600 The provincial and mu-
nicipal estimates have not yet been COM
pleted. Havana requires s25o,000, including
the city taxes. The custom receipts up
to date for the month are SIT, 900 for Ha-
vana and about s25O,O00 for other ports.

STATE SUPREME COURT.
The Rights of the Discoverer of a Min
ing Lode Reviewed.

ing Lode Reviewed.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Jan. 31.-The supreme court
to-day rendered an opinion in the ease
of William H. Sanders Jonas w.
knight ct al, VS.. B. Noble and J. II.
court of Madison county, which is inter-
esting to prospectors and miners gem
orally.
1t is an elaborate review of the right
of a discoverer of mining lode to
swing his location until he has marked
the boundaries of the same as required
by the state statutes, which must he
done within 80 days after posting the
notice on the discovery shaft. The opin-
ion was written by Justice Hunt The
court reviews the decision of both fed
eral and state courts bearing upon
statutes like the Montana codes, and
comes to the conclusion that by discov-
cry and posting notice, the discoverer
has done all that is necessary to pro-
tect his right to exclusive possession
until he marks the boundaries. he
may postpone marking the boundaries,
the court says, for 80 days and during
this time his notice of discovery is u
warning to all persons to keep off the
ground he claims. In this case the no.
tice of discovery described the claim as
northerly and southerly. The defend
ants went on the ground soon
after the plaintiffs made their discov-
cry and during their temporary alb
sence, construed the notice to mean due
north and due south and located their
claim accordingly. The court holds that
they were trespassers, for until the dis
coverers had marked the ground, they
were protected by virtue of their no.
tice in their possession of the lode and
could subsequently mark the boundar-
les according to the trend and course of
the vein and thus exclude other locat-
ors who had entered upon the proper
ty in the interim between the posting
of the notice of discovery and the mark
ing Of the boundaries, provided the 80
days had not elapsed.

TO KILL CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

The Appropriation Is Voted Down In
the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The anti-civi]
service reformers scored a victory in
the House yesterday. The Legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill was taken up for consideration
and when the appropriation for the
civil service commission was reached.
MIR. Evans, Republican, of Kentucky,
made a motion to strike it out. This
motion has been made annually for a
dozen years or more, and has in
variably failed. But yesterday the
opponents of the law laid great
stress on the fact that they
could not get a direct vote upon the
proposition, and were, therefore, com
pc. led to seek its notification in this
manner Even these appeals failed te
bring out the full strength Ct the op
position, though the motion to strike
out carried by a narrow majority, 81
81. This was in committee of the
whole, where no record is made of the
vote. Mr.. Moody, Republican, of Mas
sachusetts, gave notice that he would
demand a record vote in the house
where the friends of the civil servic,
aw expect to reverse the decision.
