their affairs, and even if American en-
terprise makes itself felt. il cannot
make the progress that it does at
home. But the attitude of the Gu
bans is uncertain. The military com
manders are not confident of perma-
nent peace. 1t cannot be presumed
that many thousands of the ignorant
population are intelligent enough 70
understand the real intentions Of the
American people in occupying the ISL
and. Some disturbances must be ex-
pected. If they are at all serious.
there will be, of course, delay il ar
ranging business affairs.
Even with population of one and a
quarter millions, there will be def
cheney in the labor supply. The ma
jOrity of native laborers on the island
prefer to cultivate small parcels of
land as independent prOprietors, how
ever small the returns are, because
Independent cultivators command
their own time, and are not over
worked
The Cuban planters are already con-
sidering the matter of importing Ital-
ian laborers, because the cost OF Sc
curing them will be small. Whether
the Italian Government will permit an
emigration remains an open question.
If Cuba is permitted by the United
tn no I'M
may freely draw on China and Japan
for laborers. But the drift of opinion
is that it will finally be annexed to the
United States, either as a territory,
with the prevailing territorial rights,
or as a colony, governed by special
| laws. If annexation takes place, the
sugar product will undoubtedly injure
the sugar industry of Louisiana and
Hawaii.
| Should Congress hold Cuba, as d col
ony, and maintain discriminating
tariff against her. will Congress permit
| the Cuban planters to freely import la
Dor from any country, or will it eX-
tend the immigration laws of the
United States to the island?
1t is improbable that Congress would
discriminate against Cuban sugar, and
at the same time, cut off ASSISTED
immigration. Whatever may be sale
about the present situation of Cuba
the manifest destiny of the island is
it's annexation to the United States
with a full share in the benefits of the
tariff laws. Enterprising men, witt
capital, will organize a political force
which will secure freedom of trade
with the Mainland. The spirit and let
ter of the Constitution, the experience
Of the people is opposed to interna
tariffs. Single interests, like the suga
beet, the tobacco and the fruit, ma.
secure internal tariffs for a while, blu
in the long run the policy of no inter
nal restriction of trade will prevail.

IMMENSE CROWD WITNESSES CONTEST.
Ane stralian II Knocked Out In the
Eleventh Round They Battle ut

Finish. s-

New York, June 10.-James J. JET
1rles, another sturdy young giant, has
come out of the west to whip champion
Pugilists. At the arena of the Coney
Island Athletic club Friday night he
deteated Robert Fitzsimmons, worlds
champion : in two classes - middle
weight and heavyweight-in1 II rounds
OF whirlwind fighting. He came to the
ring rank outsider, and left it the &C
knowledged master of the man he de-
teated. He was never at any time in
serious danger, and after the size-up in
the early rounds of the contest took
the lead. He had the Australian
whipped from the ninth round. It was
acknowledged that Jeffries would have
an immense advantage in weight,
height and age, but the thousands who
tipped and backed his opponent to win
were sure that he was slow, and that
he would, in that respect, be absolutely
at the mercy of the past master at the
science of fighting that he was to meet.
ne proved, ON the contrary, that he was
just as fast as the man he met, and
beat him down to unconscious defeat in
fair fight.

The defeated man was just as good
as when, on the crispy morning on the
plains of far-away Nevada, he lowered
the colors of the then peerless Corbett.

on May 30th and June Cd. There was

too heavy. Barley is beginning to
shoot in Wabasha county, and winter

Adulterated Lard.

Through the efforts of. the state
LARRY and food department it is not
improbable that the use of adulteated
lard, in the manufacture of bread, hard
biscuits and crackers, may be done
away with. The department found
that the American Biscuit company
was using adulterated lard in making
its product, and an investigation re-
vealed the fact that large quantity of
the stuff was being sold under the
name of compound lard" This is
strictly in violation of the law which
specifies that such lard must be labeled
''adulterated" or ''substitute. It is as
much against the law to use this stuff
as it is to sell it, and the American
Biscuit company at Minneapolis was
taken to task, pleaded guilty and paid
fine of $25. The manager of the
company assured the department that
the law would be strictly complied with
in the future.

Sections l6 and and SO.

Legal proceedings will at once be in
stituted by the state against the in
terror department at Washington en-
joining the secretary from issuing pat
ents to lands in sections l6 and SO on
Indian reservations. This was the de-
cision reached by State Auditor Dunn,
Attorney General Douglas and ex-At-
torney General Childs at recent con-
ference. and resulted from the deter
mination of the Washington depart
mcnt that the two sections in every
town for school purposes did not ap-
ply to land situated in the Red lake In
dian reservation. The state demands
the right to dispose of these lands un-
der the law of Feb. 26, 1857, authoriz-
ing the organization of the state gov
eminent out of the Territory of Min.
nesota. The decision of the interior de-
partment means the loss of million
and half of dollars to the school
fund of the state.

THE VICTIMS OF WAR.
Surgeon General Sternberg Says
5,43S Soldiers Died of Sickness
and 088 in Battle, -

Columbus, O., June g. Thursday was
the big day of the American Medical
association convention. The interest
centered largely in the presence of Sur
geon General Sternberg, of the United
States army. Gen. Sternberg was ac-
corded the closest attention and he was
warmly applauded. The subject of his
address was SANITARY Lesson of the
War" He said in part:
1T is we'll known to sanitarians and milf
tary surgeons that as a general rule more
soldiers succumb to disease than are killed
by the bullets of the enemy, and our recent
war has not been an exception in this re-
gard. The total number of deaths reported
in our enlarged army, including regulars
and volunteers, from May 1, 1898, to April
30, 1899. is 6,406. Of these 5,438 died of dis
ease, injuries, or accident. During the civil
war the number of deaths from disease was
1S6,216. The number who were killed in bat
tie or died of wounds was 81, 500, or about
one-half of the deaths from disease. The
total deaths from disease in the union
armies from the commencement of the war
to the S1st Of December, 1862, was "a SIG, and
in the confederate armies during the same
period. 81 3d.

afterward that she behaved with great cool

Soon after this those in the confer

had decided to vote for him. Mr.. Sher-

said that Mr.. Henderson, Of Iowa, hav-

An informal discussion followed, and it

of the order had arrived during the
night, and on the questions of impor-
lance developed enthusiastic work and
discussion. The action of Tuesday
nights session, which took the pre-
liminary steps toward creating re-
serve fund, question which has been
fought for ten years, was discussed
freely by the delegates before the
gathering met. Head Consul Northcott
had been instructed to appoint COM

fund and to report Wednesday. The re-
port was made the special business of
the day, and it proved one for fruitful
debate.
The committee on reserve fund re-
ported at the afternoon session. The
plan that it recommends is that IL reg

The assessments are now made only
as the money is needed in paying the

WHEN A MONKEY IS A DOG.
How Buckland, the Naturalist, Got
Some Good Pointers on
Animals.

A good story of an amusing alteration
which once took place between Mr.. Frank
auckland and a booking clerk is revived
The naturalist had been in France, and was
returning via Southampton with an over
coat stuffed with specimens of all sorts, dead
and alive. Among them was a monkey,
which was domiciled in large breast pocket
As auckland was taking his ticket, joke
ton Of the booking clerk, who Immediately
and very properly-said: "You must have
ticket for that dog, if it's going with you"
"Dog?", said auckland, Indignantly; cts
no dog, it's monkey"
ITS dog" replied the clerk.
Its monkey" retorted auckland, and
proceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insisted
On five shillings for the dog ticket to London.
Naturally nettled at this, auckland
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced tortoise, and, laying it on the
sill Of the ticket window, said: perhaps
you'll call that a dog, too?"
The clerk inspected the tortoise. NO.

JAMES JEFFRlES.

He was just as active, just as clever.
just as tricky and just as fearless of
punishment. He went unfalteringly to
his defeat. He was the aggressor even
at moments when he was bleeding and
unsteady, and when, stunned by the
blows he received, he reeled Instructive
ly toward his opponent. He was fight
ing all the time, and punished his OPP
ponent, but found him different op-
ponent than any he had met, and d S'iit1f6
cult man to fight.
The fight was the most important in
the. pugilistic world since the meeting
of Corbett.And Fitzsimmons at Carson
City, March II, 1897. It was the" first
defeat Fitzsimmons had sustained in
% contests since coming to America,
not counting the contest which he lost
to Sharkey on an alleged foul, and he
was strong favorite in the betting.
The New Champion.
Jeffries is "a years of age; was born
in Columbus, o., and is the son of a
clergyman. AS Fitzsimmons held the
heavyweight championship of America
and there was no serious claimant to
the title in any other part of the world,
Jeffries by his victory comes into fair
1y we'll established claim of being the
world champion.
No Trouble with Police.
It was a great fight to watch, and
commenced and ended amid scenes of
intense excitement. It was all very
dramatic. George Siler was the ref
cree. The men fought before crowd
of 1900 persons. There was not a sug-
gestion of interference from the police.
Chief Devery occupied seat by the ring
side, butnever entered the ring. When it
was all over he sent Capt. Kenny in to
clear the ring. The contest was pulled
off without wrangle, and was devoid
of the brutal elements that Chief Dew
ery alleged he feared. Never was a
crowd handled with greater order and
less friction. 1t was all perfectly Or
