SEEKING EXTRA ARMY PAY.
The Claims of Minnesofa Volunteer
for More Money.

for More Money.
Adj. Gen. j. B. Lambert, of Minnesota,
arrived in this city last night, to secure
authority from the Auditor of the War De-
partment to present the claims in gross Of
certain members of the e-Twelfth and Four
teenth regiments of the, Minnesota Volun-
teers before the department, These claims,
it appears, are founded upon the precedent
of the Thirteenth Regiment of Minnesota
Volunteers, which instead of furlough
demanded and received the sixty days
extra pay to which they were entitled by
law, having served outside the country
1t appears from the report that the
Twelfth and Fourteenth regiments were
granted furlOugh of thirty days, and that
never having left the country, they are not
entitled by law TO any extra pay. More
over, the claims could not be presented in
gross as every case adjudcated by the
Auditors Office is considered with reference
to the individual.
The Auditors office has received many
applications Of volunteers who think that
they are entitled to both furIough and ex-
ira pay while the act of Congress March
4, 1898. stipulates that the one may be
taken in lieu of the other but that if the
furlough is given the extra pay is for
feited
The State of Minnesota is entitled to the
money which it has already paid for rails
ing arming and equipping the volunteers.
This includes ordnance furnished. subsist-
ance, medical supplies, quartermasters'
stores. transportation, and miscellaneous
items. The aggregate is in round numbers

who was called to attend Mr.. Henuessey
at the fremont house:
The physician called several times and
on each occasion was told of the peculiar
coincidence of ill-lCck and broken glass.
Saturday evening the most serious shatter-
ing OF glass occurred Mr.. Hennessey en-
tered the Union restaurant and ordered
dinner The waiter brought him a goblet
of water. Mr.. Hennessey was about to put
the glass to his lips when it suddenly split
from top 10 bottom, precipitating the wa
ter on the dinner This shock was SO great
that Hennessey could not eat dinner. and
remembering that he had never been near
broken glass without some misfortune be-
falling him. he became so nervous that he
was compelled to go 10 bed. After Mr.
Hennessey went to bed he sent for doc
tor When the physician made his first
call. about midnight Sunday. he found the
patient in serious condition. He said
that he wished TO tell a story OF the pecu-
liar circumstances attending his life. He
required that the story be kept secret if
nothing happened but desired that il be
made public if anything serious took place

AMERICAN FRUIT IN GERMANY
Increased Imports and Reduced
Prices Reporfed.

Consul General Guenther, of Frankfort,
sends to the State Department the infor-
nation that local newspapers publish the
following from Hamburg:
The ever increasing import of American
fruits has greatly increased the consump-
tion OF fruits in Hamburg and vicinity The
prices for fruits which formerly, with the
exception of a few kinds. were high, have
been somewhat reduced by these importa-
tions, so that IL is now possible for the
middle classes 10 become consumers
Under these circumstances, excitement
has arisen because the Prussian ministry
1 has now instituted an enquiry as to
whether a protective duty should be levied
on American apples. The association of
Hamburg dealers in fruits and vegetables
has protested vigorously. There is no rea-
son to doubt that the Hamburg Chamber
of Commerce will take the same stand and
will do everything TO prevent the carrying
out OF such plan

AUTOMATIC ORE SHovELS.
They Prove Success and Displace
Many Laborefs.

ASHTABULA, Ohio, Jan. 2S.-Two more
gigantic automatic ore unloaders have just
been ordered to be built for the Carnegie
docks at Conneaut HaTbor. This action in
dicates that the automatic ore unloader,
which has been undergoing tests at that
port, has satisfied all expectations. ard
Furthermore that these machines will now
be introduced rapidly at all Gre receiving
ports on the Great Lakes. thus throwing
cut OF employment thousands of ore shoy-
elers.
This machine weighs 500 tons. stands
more than fifty feet high, and the scoop
transfers ten tons at once. The appear
ance of such steamers as the new 500
foot one launched on last Saturday makes
more rapid handling necessary. During
the erection of the test automatic un-
loader last summer il was carefully
guarded. owing &c the displeasure which
the shovelers manifested at its erection.

then quoted to the court, and the
prosecution insisted that the defen-
dant's insanity, or some act or il,
be shown before its hereditary source
be traced. The legal duel was some
what prolonged, and shows that the
case from now on will be a hard fight be-
tween the two sides. Mr.. Mitchell stated
that the quotation from Judge Cox in the
Gui.eau trial was a charge to the jury
and in no way applicable TO this case at
this time
The logical way seems to be to put the
proofs in the regular way and then bring
the proof of heredity," said the court.
The argument was gone into deeper by
Mr. Mitchell. who said that the father
should by all means be allowed to state his
knowledge of the family history as he
knew it. and Mr.. Turner asked if the court
was of the opinion that they should offer
all their evidence OF insanity before going
into heredity. to which he was answered
that otherwise the case seemed to be be-
ing put backward.
The witness was then asked TO stand
aside for a moment. SHELLS mother was
called.
Mrs NJ. A. Smell stated that she was the
mother of the defendant. who was forty
two years old. From one to six years she

Il called them spasms. The first injury
he had was turning somersaults. and he
broke his arm above the elbow in

there was much the matter with him.
