SAVES SHIP FROM BURNING.
Steamer Hennepin Has n Narrow Es-
cape from Destruction.

Steamer Heunepin Has n Narrow Es-
cape from Destruction.
The steamer Hennepin of the 500 line,
bound from Buffalo to Gladstone with a
cargo of general merchandise, was on fire
in Lake Michigan for eight hours and
was only saved from complete destruc-
ton by the assistance rendered by the
steamer Cuba. The crew Of the Cuba no.
ticed a vessel on fire when off Seul CholX
point, in Lake Michigan, and their
steamer was at once headed toward it.
They found the Hennepin burning
around the engine room and the smoke
was so thick that the engineers had been
driven from their posts. The Cuba took
a line from the burning steamer and
started to tow it toward the straits of
Mackinaw. The Hennepin's crew worked
manfully to save their boat, however, ana
when near WaugOshance they succeeded
in putting the fire out. The blaze had
originated under the boilers and the deck
beams of the boiler deck, four in number,
with stringers and stanchIons, were de-
StrOyed. After the crew of the Hennepln
had declared that they needed no further
help the Cuba was turned toward the
straits again and the Hennepin started
for Gladstone.

YOUNG HEIREss IS IN PERIL.

Bold Extortioncrs Threaten Mary
Shaw at Davenport, Iowa.
Mary Shaw, granddaughter of the late
George S. Shaw, millionaire lumberman
of Cloquet, Wis, seems to be prosecuted
by eXtortioners who are determined to
secure portion of her money. Her faith
er, e. a. Shaw, recently removed to
Davenport from Atlantic, Iowa, and the
daughter has been attending boarding
school. Soon after arriving she received
a letter demanding that she procure from
her father a sum of money, giving dlrec-
tons for depositing it where the writer
could get it. The penalty of failure was
to be an attack upon her married sister,
Mrs. G. w. Mullins of Atlantic, that
would deprive her of her eyesight. The
girl showed the letter to her father and
of course no response was made to 1t.
A few nights ago, as she was walking
near her home, Il man stepped from a
place of concealment near the walk ana
made Il fresh demand that she procure
the money and meet him at a place he
appointed The police were notified. The
girl kept her tryst but the bushes were
so full of citizens and policemen that the
robber probably took warning and fed.

BY a decision of the Minnesota Su-
preme Court Russell Sage comes into pos
session of about 10000 acres of land in
Stearns County, and settlers who have
resided on the land from twenty to TWEEN
ty-tve years will have to vacate or buy
the land, which has become very valua-
BILE. The suit was brought by Dave Crow
ley and other settlers against the claim Of
Russell Sage to title to the property as
ings and Dakota Railway. The fran
chise of the railroad was forfeited by q
judgment of the Supreme Court. The
settlers understood and were advised that
the forfeiture of franchise involved a for
fixture of the entire land grant, but from
the ruling made by Justice Lewis it APP
pears that so much of the land as the
road had actually earned became its prop
erty, which was then transferred to Rus
sell Sage, in trust for the stockholders Of
the road Some, if not a majority of
the settlers, are in comfortable circum-
stances and have brought their farms I'M
der a high state Of cultivation. They
have never paid for the land nor paid
taxes. 1t is said that Mr.. Sage will take
steps to dispossess them, and the settlers
claim they will carry the case to the Su-
preme Court of the United States on the
contention that the completion of the
road was not fulfllment of it's pledges;
that it was land-grab scheme, and that
none but the original stockholders ever
benefited

Rob Bank at Bradner, Ohio, and Es-
cape on Hand Car.
The Bradner branch of the Mechanics
Bank of Fostoria, Ohio, was wrecked by
robbers about 1880 on recent morning
and $4,000 stolen. Two charges of high
explosives were used by the robbers, the
first blowing the outer door off the vault
and the second opening the strong box.
Night Waterman ]. H. Denny discovered
the men and fired two shots at them,
which they returned. They then escap-
ed on Hooking Valley handcar. The
building presents a shattered appearance,
the entire glass front having been blown
out and the doors being in the cellar. The
walls also were cracked by the force Of
the explosion. 1t was the rule to keep
but $4,000 in the branch bank, but owing
to the illness of one of the clerical force
the money had been allowed to accumu-
late. The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance against burglars.

Surgeons are puzzled over the remark
able recovery of speech by Jacob Pulver,
who had been dumb since birth, but
through knife flung by his sisters hand
recovered the power of speech. Fulver,
who is IA years old, resides near Fulton
vile, n. Y. His sister, in fit of anger,
threw a knife at him and her aim proved
good, the blade penetrating the eyeball.
Up to this time he had been afflicted with
an impeachment in his speech. Dr.. Knls-
tern was called and decided that an OPP
GRAFTON would be necessary to save the
boys eye and probably his life. He was
placed under the influence of opiates on
the operating table and the injured mem
Der removed. When he recovered con-
seriousness the physicians were astonshed
to see him sit up and begin talking. The
operation had removed the impeachment
which had caused his dumbness, and
though he will be partially blind, he has
been compensated by fully recovering his
speech.

Interpretation. All these matters have
been discussed and much stress was laid
on the preciseness with which the Cuban
Interpretation is formulated.
The final article in the appendix is a
pledge that the republic of Cuba will pro-
pose reciprocity treaty. Commercial
interests are highly gratifed that this
pledge is incorporated into the accept
ance Of the Platt amendment.
Result Never in Doubt.
With the exception of a few American
and Cuban newspaper men and half a
dozen politicians, nobody but the dele
ga IS were present to hear the result an
no"nced. It is considered by some that
the voting was practically arranged be-
forehand, md that if there had been any
doubt as to the result more of the dele
gates would have voted in favor of the re-
port.
The radicals made a hard fight at the
last, and pOrtuondo Gomez and Tamayo
bitterly arraigned the conservatives
Tamayo was particularly vindictive, and
declared that everybody who voted in ia
yor Of the Platt amendment was traitor
TO his country. The convention compell-
ed him to retract this statement. On sew
eral occasions personal encounters seem
ed imminent
Gomez spoke for more than an hour,
md his speech undoubtedly won over
Castro, Robau and Manduley. He APP
pealed to the patriotism of delegates and
rehearsed the long fight for independence,
denouncing as perjurers all who favored
the Platt amendment, on the ground that
they had sworn to draw up constitution
for an independent republic. Several con-
servatiyes rose and asked Gomez to re-
tract, but he absolutely refused

incorporates Into the Island Consti-
tution-RaI ica1s Make Bitter Protest
Personal Fights Narrowly Averted.
BY a narrow majority of one vote the
Cuban constitutional convention in Ha-
vana agreed to adopt the majority re-
port of the committee on relations, which
recommends the acceptance of the Platt
amendment The members of the Cuban
convention have evidently come to the
conclusion that if they cannot get all
they want it will be very wise to take
what they can get.
With this action the effort toward
final settlement of the negotiations and
the withdrawal of American troops Is
brought much nearer to fruition. Some
thing remains to be done in the way OF
examining the Cuban constitution with a
view to making sure that its adoption
will not involve the United States III
some of the financial troubles with which
the young republic may seek to saddle
itself. Apart from that and the ADJUST
ment of possible details there is appar-
emily little to be done. 1t may be assum-
ed that the time is not far distant When
the last American soldier will have de-
parted from Cuban soil and the Cubans
will be left to their own devices. 1t rests
with Cuba whether it shall make itself
one of the worlds great little republics,
holding such esteem as is universally
paid to Switzerland, say, or will allow
internal discussions to become a blight
upon it's national existence.
The report adopted is put in the form
Of an appendix to the constitution. 1t
begins by quoting the joint resolution of
Congress relating to the independence of
Cuba and the first article of the treaty
of Paris, gives the details of the sending
Of the Plat amendment to the conven-
ton, and quotes the amendment itself.
Reference is made to the visit Of the
Cuban commission to the United States
and the explanation of the meaning of
the clauses of the Plat amendment by
Secretary Root.
The report also quotes the letter from
Gov. Wood, transmitting the letter from
the Secretary of War on the same sub
ject, as having the value of an official
document, and then states in very clear
terms, article by article, the conventions

HOPE FOR SUNNY SKIEE.
Retail Traders Discouraged by Recent
Unreasonable Weather.


Bradstreets says: Unreasonable wealth
er has been the key of the general situa-
ton this week, discouraging as it has
been to retail trade III the cities and coun-
try districts alike and retarding the
growth of most crops, but particularly
corn and oats in the northern half of the
country and cotton at the South. With
al, however, there is a feeling prevalent
that q few weeks of warm, sunny wealth
er, q decided lack of which has so far
been noted this spring, would do much
to place matters, commercial and agricul-
tural, in as good or better condition than
year ago. The week has been without
much change, except that a rather better
spirit has been visible in the industrial
situation and that some progress has been
made toward a settlement Of existing
labor troubles
