Senator McCumber has secured a
favorable report on the Indian commit
tee of the senate upon the ratification
of the treaty that was sent to the SEN
ate by President Harrison for the pay

Commissioner Evans, in speaking of
the pension claims growing out of the
late war with Spain says:
There has been a considerable num-
Der of claims filed as a result of the
Spanish-American war, about 1000.
Many of these claimants have recov-
cred, their disabilities having been of
a temporary character, malaria and
the result of malarial poisoning. When
they came home from the war, they
felt that their health had been shat
tered, and filed claims for pensions.
There have been about 1000 pensions
granted SO far, growing out of the war.
The casualties known as battle casual
ties were not great during the whole
year 1898. The regular army, which
did the most of the fighting, only had
Twenty-Five amputations, and twelve
of these fingers. So far as 1
know, there was not a single amputa-
ton in the navy as a result Of the war.

chosen judge of the Sixth judicial dis
trict. Mr.. Allen is entirely satisfied
with his present position.

Minnesota has taken steps to import
the hemp and manila for it's peniten-
tiary Irvine plant and has an agent in
the Philippines who cabled that he can
buy and ship the raw material at a
price considerably below that asked
in this country. The material will be
shipped across the Pacific, instead of
by the eastern route as hemp is at
present imported. This will be Of
interest in North Dakota, where a
Irvine plant has just been started, as
the high price of raw material has
been a source of concern to all states
interested in the making of Irvine.

Minneapolis Journal says:
Ex-senator Gilbert A. Pierce of
North Dakota, now a resident of Min
neapol4s, spent almost a week in Wash
ington recently renewing old %acquaint-
ances in the senate chamber. 1t is
whispered that he vas doing what he
could to start a boom for w. D. Wash

in this he was not successful. The
leaders have not yet made up their
minds regarding this question, and are
inclined to look to New York for a
candidate, preferring Roosevelt, not
withstanding the latter's statements
that he does not care for the honor.

A trainload of immigrants passe

A trainload of immigrants passed
through Fargo en- route to the western
part of the state, and stopping there
for a time, one of the old timers,
addressing a party of the new corners
said: What are you going to that
God-forsaken country out there for?"
1t wasn't much, but the immigration
agent in charge of the party said that
statement undid the good he had been
trying to do for a year. 1t would seem
that new Corners should be greeted
with encouragement rather than with
such blasts as this, and that if it is
not possible to say a word of encour-
agement to the Immigrants judicious
silence might be observed. There is
an old saying of the kind of bird it is
that respects not the cleanliness of its
W. nest.

The Macrum case is over. Macrum

The Macrum case is over. Macrum
is a dead issue. w. E. Curtis, the Chi
cago Record correspondent, says:
The investigation was a failure SO
far as the hopes of the democrats were
concerned, for they expected to dis
close some kind of a sensation for cam
paign purposes. Mr.. Macrum is a
pricked bubble and his little term of
notoriety has expired. The real rea-
son for his desertion of his post at Pre-
toria-at least the reason he has given
to his nearest friends-was his fear
that his wife and baby might suffer if
Pretoria was besieged by the British
army, and it was certainly commend
able solicitude on his part. Mrs. Ma
crum would not leave Pretoria with
out her husband. If he remained at
his post of duty she insisted upon
sharing whatever dangers he might be
compelled to endure, and rather run
any risks as the penalty of such devo-
ton he applied to the state depart
refused him. If Mr.. Macrum had been
candid he would have had the SYM
pathy of many people, but in order to
cover his real motive he assumed an
air of Importance and mystery and
talked about disclosures and valuable
information that could not be trusted
to the mails and even assumed to be
an emissary from the Beers to the
government of the United States in
the interests of peace and arbitration.
These ~pretentions were soon exposed,
and the young nan attempted to re-
venge himself upon the department
and make a political issue of himself.
