FOR NEW PARK.
Bill to Establish National Playground
In Minnesota.

st. Paul, Mimi. Jan. General c. C.
Andrews has prepared a bill to bring
about an agreement with the Chippewa
Indians for obtaining certain reservation
for the proposed Northern Minnesota
National park. at the headwaters OF
the Mississippi river The territory
proposed to be taken comprises Gil, 592
acres of land and 218,470 acres Of water,
the Cass Lake, Chippewa, Leech Lake
and Lake WinnebagO reservation.
Under the act OF congress of January
IA, 1889, the Indians ceded the reserva-
ton to the United States, with the I'M
derStanding that the reSerVa ton would
be surveyed, that the pine lands"
thereon should be established and Of
fered for sale to the highest bidder in
40 acre tracts and that all other lands
except such as might be allotted to in
diVidual Indians should be regarded as
agricultural lands and sold to actual
settlers. the proceeds of all sales to be
paid into the treasury of the United
States TO the credit of the Indians. If
the reservations shall be perpetually
held as & national park, it is expected
that the forests thereon will be man
aged on forestry principles-that the
mature timber will be cut and sold
from time to time, thereby affording
revenue and that the forests will remain
unimpaired, thus promoting the water
supply of the Mississippi river. The
bill authorizes the president to appoint
three commissioners to negotiate with
the Indians and agree upon a sum to
be paid for the land.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

The first part of the Beach & Bowers
minstrel performance. as seen at the
Grand Opera House last night, might
be cut out without curtailing the enter
tainment to a noticeable degree. The
costumes are cheap and dirty, the
jokes musty, the comedy work a series
of attempts at humor, and the vocal
efforts largely efforts exclusively. How
ever, the second portion of the perform
ance atones in a considerable measure
for the first, and at the reduced prices
charged the audience is given the worth
of its money.
There is considerable burlesque aero
battle work in the second part which
combines considerable rough and tum-
bic humOr with genuine accomplishment
in rotating and propelling the human
body. Lou Knetzer is still with the
company, and is still demonstrating
his ability to the title of King of
Clubs" Don Gordon, in his trick bicycle
and unicycle turn, represents a new fea-
ture and one which can scarcely fail
to take with an audience Besides an
ordinary drill and the performance of
Bobby Beach's troup of dogs, the Van
brothers are responsible for a clever
musical act which has some original
features.

RAILWAY BANK CLOSES.
DepOsitOrs Become Frightened
and Started a Run.

New York, Jan. 6.-The Union County
bank of Railway N. J., today placed a
notice on it's door announcing that it
had been compelled to suspend owing to
the unusual demand made upon it by
depositors. but that there is good rea-
son to believe that depositors will be
paid in full as soon as the bank can
realize on its investments
The bank has been paying per cent
dividends on a, capital of $40 900. It is
state institution and had a surplus
of $4,000. After the difficulties of the
Middlesex County bank at Perth Am
boy n. J., which was robbed by it's
cashier, George NJ. Valentine there was
some evidence of timidity on the part
of the depositOrs as the president of
the Union County bank. Edward F.
Savage had been Valentines lawyer
and the vice president of the Union
County bank. milford D. Valentine was
an uncle of the defaulting cashier of the

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Facts About the Anglo-German-
Portuguese Agreement

Lisbon, Jan. GA serni-official note
to the Press regarding the Anglo-Ger-
man agreement has just been issued 1t
is as follows:
THE British and German govern
ments having previously reached an
agreement between themselves, inform
ed Portugal that in the event of her
contracting large loan for the pur-
pose OF reorganizing the finances the
two governments were disposed to guar
antee the success of the opera ton At
the same time the governments of
Great Britain and Germany assured
Portugal that the basis of the agree
ment between them was the recognition
of the integrity of the Portuguese
colonial dominions and the legitimacy
or Portuguese sovereignty over the
Portuguese possessions. They further
suggested that in the event of Portugal
accepting proposal concerning a loan
the latter should be guaranteed by the
colonial and customs receipts. The
Portuguese government then declared
that 1t had no need of such a loan and
according to our information has no
such need to the present day"

ADMINISTRATION POLICY
In the Philippines Not Upheld by a
Large New York Audience.

New York. Jan. CATER a long de-
bate at the Peoples Institute tonight
between Prof. T. r. Seligman of Column
bia university, and Edward NJ. Shep-
ard, upon the subject of the policy of
the administration in the Philippine is
lands, a rising vote was taken and, ac-
cording to the decision of Charles
Sprague Smith, the presiding officer, $50
people favored and $50 opposed the ex-
listing policy. Prof Seligman appeared
as the defender of the administration
while Mr. Shepard attacked the meth
DDS pursued by the United States in
the Philippine islands. Mr.. Shepard was
at one time obliged to reprimand the
audience for kissing the name of JOS
eph H. Choate.

MONEY Is EASIER.
New York Relieved By January In
terest and Dividend Payments.

New York, Jan. 6-Investment buy
ing has maintained the level of prices
of railroad stocks during the week
Large offerings have been absorbed to
take profits on the sharp recovery from
the recent panic level of prices. There
has been a large liquidation for foreign
account, attributed to Berlin, the at
tempted explanations for which are
somewhat confused and unsatisfactory.
A large bear interest was caught heav-
lily short in some of the industrial
stocks and their urgent demand caused
some excited advances. Strength in the
trunk line group, led by New York Cen
trail, has been the feature of the railroad
list. The money market reflected the
effect of dividend and interest disburse-
ments in a condition of growing ease,
which the further exports of gold did
not serve to prevent.

WILL KEEP HANDS OFF
Mckinley Will Not NEEDLE in Africa
Unless Both BeIIigerents Ask Him.

New York, Jan. "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
1t is pointed out at the state depart
ment that the popular movement re-
ported to press dispatches from Bel
GUM, having in view a petition to Pres
ident Mckinley asking him to offer
medlatlOn TO the beillgerentS in South
Africa, is altogether misdirected and
exhibits a painful ignorance of the
American policy of abstentiOn from in
truding in matters which are none Of
TINS country business. It is suggested
that such a petition could have not di-
rect influence in the direction of termi-
mating hostilities if it proposes to in
duce the United States to take the mi
Uative toward securing an amicable
settlement of the quarrel Both bellf-
gerents are already presumably aware
of the historical attitude of the United
States, last consciously shown as late
as TIE war between China, and Japan.
in always being ready to use its good
office to avoid or end strife when the
invitation comes from both disputants
not from one alone and not from a mere
outsider.
Great Britain and the South African
republic are aware that the president
viii accept promptly and with pleasure
any suggestion of mediation that came
from both of them, but I'D to this time
neither of these governments has given
the slightest intimatiOn that it desires
anything but strict neutrality from the
United states. 1t is true that just be-
fore hostilities began. President Steyn
of the Orange Free State, through his
consul general at New York, Mr.. Pierce
desired the friendly Intervention Of
President Mckinley in the hope of
averting war. but no concurrent re-
quest Of a similar nature came from
England and the president therefore
abstained from volunteering his good
offices. where they apparently would
have been welcome.
Since that time no suggestion of a
desire to arbitrate or to put an end to
fighting has been manifested, however
guardedly to this government by the
countries concerned and reports to the
contrary are authoritatIvely character
ICED as false.
It is probable that, should Great Brit
ain indicate her wish to have the presi-
dent attempt a peaceful solution of the
difficulty, the American consul at Pre-
toria would promptly ask President
Kruger if he desired to unite in the re-
quest. This procedure is made posi-
BILE by President Steyn's earlier request
and by the state departments declina-
ton to receive Gen. O'Berne who was
understood to be charged with powers
from Pretoria to ask for mediation in
the event of England being willing to
