THE CUBAN PROBLEM.

Congress and Cuba are finding out
that President Mckinley is not bluffing
in his demand that matters be settled
so that both countries will know
where they are at Cuba found some
time ago that it was not bluff, when
the president presented the demands
of this country through Gen. Wood.
And now the president has convinced
congress that that body must act in a
way to share the responsibility in the
Cuban matter, or it will be called in
extra session to think the matter over
during warm weather. There have
been several suggestions made of pro-
visions that might tide matters over
until next December at least, but none
of these have fully satisfied the presi-
dent. The latest scheme to do away
with the demand for an extra session
and at the same time meet the demand
of the Cuban problem, is said to be
embodied in the following PROPOSE
tions, which the senate committee on
relations with Cuba is said to be
molding into the form of an amend
ment to the army appropriation bill,
and they are said to fully meet the
views of both the president and secre-
tary of war, Root The Democratic
leaders in the senate are also said to
have agreed to them. The PROPOSE
tions are embraced in the following
points
That the United States shall have
supervision of all treaties with foreign
countries made by the Republic of
Cuba.
That Cuba shall not undertake to
pay the debt incurred by Spain in her
war with Cuba prior to or after the
Intervention of the United States.
That Cuba shall agree either to lease
or to sell to the United States such
coaling or naval stations as in the
opinion of the president of the United
States may be necessary to the protec-
ton of the interests of this country.
That the United States shall have
sufficient supervision of the laws OF
Cuba relating to sanitation to pro tect
this country from epidemics liable to
originate there.
The idea is that these provisions
shall be included in a treaty to be
made with Cuba, but that they need
not be part of the Cuban constitu-
ton.
If an agreement can be reac he'd on
all these propositions it is confidently
believed among the leaders that an ex-
ira session of congress will not be
required

ASKED TO MOVE.
Mayer Bros. Urged to Move Their Plan
to Omaha.

Some time ago Mayer Bros. were
urged by the firm at Omaha which
handles their patent trip hammers to
move their plant there. When the
Omaha firm learned of the fire Friday
night it wrote to Mayer Bros, renew
ing it's request This letter arrived
Sunday, but it contains no proposition
looking TO bonus. On this point they
expect another letter tomorrow, outlin
ing any inducements that may be
offered to secure the removal 1t is
certainly to be hoped that the firm will
conclude to remain in Mankato
Mayer Bros. have long been in need
of more room to accommodate their
growing business, and if they remain
in Mankato they will wish to have
larger quarters, either by building
themselves or by securing larger
building. They own their resent
plant
The insurance adjusters are expected
to arrive tomorrow.

The proposition to have the legis-
lature adjourn some time about April
list is good one and ought to be car
ried out. If proper attention is given
to the work before it, it would seem as
though that body could easily be able
to adjourn several days before that
date. One reason given for early ad
journment is, that the tax commission
which has been provided for, can be
ready to report in about year, and if
the legislature adjourns at the end of
seventy days, it can have twenty days
left in which to meet in extra sessio n
to consider the report of that body and
ratity it into a law and so cause no
extra expense to the state. This is a
good move, and better one would be
to adjourn earlier as we have above
stated and so save the expense of ten
or fifteen days that are not needed for
legislative business at all. The reap
portionment question ought to be
gttoen out of the way by the last of
next week, if the legislature would ap-
ply itself to strict business principles,
and all the other necessary business
ought to be gotten out of the way by
the.25th of next month without any
difficulty it would seem

LOOKING FOR LOST BOY.

The chief of police of New Ulm is
trying to locate Julius Grams, who
disappeared from the farm of August
Fritag, near Nicollet, in August last.
Grams parents will pay $50 reward
for information as to the boys where
abouts, dead or alive. The boy is
eighteen years old, is five feet five
inches tall, weighs 40 to $50 pounds,
and has dark complexion, brown hair
and blue eyes. The first and second
fingers and thumb of the left hand are
off, and two front teeth in the upper.
jaw are missing. Grams had been
working for Fritag for a year and a
half No cause is given for his dis
appearance

The senate has cut the river and har-
Dor bill down considerably and it is
said that it is hoped by some members
of that body to send it to the presi-
dent with provisions for not over fifty
millions. If it is so sent the president
would be fully justified invetoing it.
1t ought to be cut in two to leave it
at the largest. 1t is altogether prob
abel that river and harbor bill carry
ing twelve or fifteen millions would
provide for every legitimate need of
the country in that respect.

Congress has just one more week left
for it to finish up its business and this
will as usual be week of hustle.
Much business will be put through
which will not be given the attention
it should have, and every endeavor
will be made to escape the possibility
of an extra session. On Monday noon
next the present congress will expire
by Limitation and President Mckinley
will then be sworn in for second
term.

Texas. This prediction started further liquidation after the early recovery of 5 points and October sold from 7.49 to 7.34 before 10 o'clock. As was the case yes- terday every outside selling order re- ceived the assistance of selling by pro- fessionas and for the moment there was very little support to the market. In the appearance of rains the market outlook has changed considerably. In the event of soaking rain in the cotton belt west of the river there would be very little in the situation to induce buying for higher prices Of course after a serious decline cotton can be bought for a reaction be- fore a much lower range of prices are recorded but the real factors in the situa- ton would not bring about such mar ket as has been seen the past month.
 Since the government report in June showing the worst condition, with one exception, in twenty years. there has been but one side to the market It must be remembered that only month ago August sold TAG and is now selling at nearly cents and October selling at cents and sold this morning within one point of 71ac
 The market has advanced on general belief that conditions have not been gen. erally favorable for the crop
 But in the case of rain where needed, 1t will be question of what the govern ment report will show on July 30. Those who bought cotton on the advance and took their profits when the situation warranted on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday are in a position to operate again.

Murphy G Co.'s Grain Letter.

By Private Wire to Murphy & Co. Chicago, June N.-Trade was fairly ac- tive early in the morning and prices were stronger on the cable news and further advance in France equal to hQ1 cent per bushel, making about centimes advance in the two weeks. while Amerf- can September wheat has declined about 2 cents, widening the difference to cents. Export houses report France while nomi- nally only cents under an import basis practically on an import basis, owing to manipulation of the rebate of July privi- leges on imported wheat. Foreign trade, however, was small. There was local buying and covering. but some long wheat came out on the advance and on the bank news and absence of rain in -the harvesting regions, prices eased off. Wheat was quiet in the afternoon, but strong at the close. Corn opened moder- ately active. with a rather heavy demand notwithstanding the hot. dry weather, re- ports from the Southwest. Trade was limited during the morning at easier prices. Corn was easier after midday
 Provisions were quiet and about steady. Hog receipts were heavier and prices steady at stock yards. Provisions closed dull

By Private Wire to Sledge Com. Co.
 Birmingham, June N.-Liverpool news was decidedly better than expected. The loss in futures amounting ito 2-64d. On the spot there was a loss of 1-16d. but this was more than off set by the heavier demand from spinners, sales reaching 10.- 900 bales. New York opened unchanged to six points up in response and then sud- denly shot up three to nine points addi- tional on heavy covering demand from shorts who had oversold yesterday in ex- pectation of a sharp break at Liverpool The weather map showed only slight showers in Texas only three points reach ing more than half an inch, while no sta tion received as much IS an inch. On the advance however, selling for both ac- counts became a pronounced feature and despite the excellent demand from spin ners both domestic and foreign and the improved condition of the cotton goods trade the market sold off several points under yesterdays close followed later by a reaction on the belief that the rainfall in Texas was not sufficient. The close was two to four points up on the old crop positions and unchanged to ten points lower on the new.
 There were no further developments in the squeeze" July was neglected though fairly well maintained. There were three to four thousand notices circulated which were reported stopped. Unsold ware house stocks at the beginning of the week were 10584S bales, S2, ,SS3 of which were certificated. These figures compare with 47, 6i7 last year, 34,6O6 of which were cer- tifcated.
 Cotton is reported heading for New York rapidly, but the outcome of the deal is still unchanged. New crop propo- sition will be governed by weather, Fore cast for tomorrow indicate showers for Louisiana, Georgioa, Mississippi and Ala bama, with no indications of relief for Texas. Crop advices from that state are generally satisfactory though so long as the dry weather remains unbroken an immediate break of consequence need hardly be expected.
