Will Shortly Assume Command of the
Asiafic Squadron.

San Francisco. April S.-Rear Ad-
f1iral Robley D. Evans has arrived
here from washington and will leave
at once for the Orient, to become SEN
Tor squadron commander under Rear
Admiral Rogers, whom he will sue
coed as commander-in-chief Of the Ash
attic squadron six months hence, when
the latter is retired. When asked re-
garding his plans Rear Admiral Evans
said:S
Il do not know whether I shall be
stationed at China Or the Philippines.
but from the fact that Admiral Frank
Wildes is now stationed at Manila
presume 1 will be placed in command
of the squadron in the Chinese waters.
1t is intended that the two squadrons
shall exchange places every six
months, and thus afford a regular peri
cd of rest for the men after half a year
of active service in the Philippines. It
is also intended under the. new ar
rangement that the commander-in-
chief of the station shall bring the two
sQuadrons together once a year for
three months of drill"
The e a admiral declined to dis
uss affairs in the Orient, c~ontentine
himself with saying that he would deal

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION
SOME FIGURES GIVING AN IDEA
OF THE PROPOSED MAGNITUDE
OF THE EVENT.

In order that n may have a gen
'eral idea of the magnitude of the
Louisiana purchase exposition, st.
Louis, 1903, Mr.. fChas. Reeves, sec
rotary Of the committee on legislation
has compiled a few tersely stated facts.
The St. Louis Worlds Fair will be
approximately twice as big as any
former international exposition.
The Centennial exposition at Phil
adelphia covered 236 acres, the Paris
exposition Of 1s99-19OO, 1876 acres, the
Columbia exposition at Chicago, 633
acres, the Pan-American at Buffalo,
$50 acres.
The st. Louis Worlds Fair will cover
1900 acres.
The construction cost of the Paris
exposition was 5000 600, that Of the
Columbian exposition $1s,322,0 900, and
the total cost of the Pan-American ex-
position was $1O,OOO,OOO.
The estimated cost of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair will be 100000 600. This,
as a man of practical affairs, you know
will mean $4O,OOO,OOO by the time the
work is completed.
Before the exposition gates are open,
May i, 1903, the city of st. Louis will
have expended the enormous sun OF
$20,O0O.OOO. OF this amount S ,O00,-
900 was appropriated for the fair
through the municipal assembly. her
citizens raised So, 100000 additional by
private subscription, and by popular
vote at a special election October %,
the charter amendments were carried
which will enable the city to expend
$10,00O,000 for street paving and other
public improvements.

UNDER FlVE-MINUTE RULE.
Closing Debate on the Chinese ExcIu-
sion Bill.

Washington, April S.-Immediately
after the reading of. the journal. the
house proceeded with the considera-
ton of the Chinese exclusion bill. Gen
eral debate having closed the bill was
read for amendment under the 5-min-
ute rule
MI. Kleberg (Tex.) said that much
as he would like to vote for the bill he
could not do so unless the provision
prohibiting the coming to the United
States of Chinese, born in Hawaii and
the Philippines sisice their acquisition,
was stricken out.
Mr.. Naphen (Mass.) moved to strike
the provision from the bill.
Mr.. Hit said he shared to a certain
extent the views of Mr.. Kleberg, but
thought the provision should remain
in the bill in order that the question
raised might be passed upon in the
courts.
Mr.. Naphen's motion was lost.
Two amendments were adopted
without division. one by Mr.. Clark
(Mo.) to amend the definition CT
teacher" under the privileged classes
SO as to require that for two years be-
fore admission the teacher should have
been engaged in teaching the higher
branches" and another by Mr.. Coombs
(Cal.) to provide that Chinese stu
dents shall leave the country immedi-
ately upon the completion of their
course of study.

ANOTHER BODY FOUND
BODY OF DAN MCLAUGHLIN WHO
persisted IN THE BIG STORM.

BODY OF DAN MCLAUGHLIN WHO
persisted IN THE BIG STORM.
The body of Dan Mclaughlin was
found Sunday morning in a snow bank
ten miles northwest of Medina. Hugh
Marston was the man whom discovered
the remains which were brought to
Medina for burial.
Mclaughlin and young Stewart lived
on the Stewart ranch and looked after
a big herd of sheep. When the big
storm began March IA it is supposed
both men went out to care for the ami
mails. Stewards body was found after
the storm and Mclaughlin seems to
have wandered much farther before be-
ing overcome by the severe cold.
& The deceased was about 45 years of
age and unmarried. He was well and
favorably known and the citizens will
see that he is properly laid away.
A diary. left on the table Of their
house, indicated that the men were in
their rooms, after nightfall and went
out in the dark to look after the cattle.
| Other evidences of this was the fact
that their. lanterns were taken along.
One lantern was found to have been
blown out with a lot of oil left and the
other had burned dry. Both were
found near Stewards body.
The father of Stewart came UP from
Iowa and remained until his sons body
was found. He has advertised the
ranch for sale on account of the double
fatality. @a. aJt '-

good record at st. Louis. In a certain
sense this exposition belongs to the

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis. April S.-Wheat WIS
inclined to display a little weakness at
the opening, due partially to Indifferent
cables and more rains in districts need
ing same.
Receipts We're liberal but the cash
business was very satisfactory. The
trade views the subsequent strength
as but temporary, due principally to
short covering as longs are flooding the
pit with selling orders at 20 cents. AS
soon as these offerings are either
withdrawn or executed an improve
ment is almost inevitable.
Corn weakness early was also a
weakening factor in wheat. Clear
ances being the largest in some time,
925,000 bushels, the sentiment is liable
to change very suddenly. Bradstreets
report is expected to show about two
million decrease in Chicago houses,
who are considered the most %conserva-
tive say that while wheat may break
back occasionally it should be bought,
and later on expect to see a material
improvement in values. Corn received
another black eye early in the session
on weaker cables and lack Of support.
After recording about a half cent de-
cline yesterday sellers appeared as
buyers and the loss was easily regain
ed. Receipts were again under the
hundred mark, which is surprising that
it does not create a pronounced
bullish outside feeling. But these con-
ditions are usually brought about in
a short period, and past observation
permits us to suggest that when no one
wants it, is the proper time to take
b freely. g
Oats were comparatively firm, though
the trade was narrow with speculation
diverted to other grains.
Provisions were inclined to weakness
in sympathy with corn. Armour and
Cudahy were credited with taking on
considerable lard, while the other
traders confined their attention sto
pork. The reaction from a l5-cent
break was less pronounced, finding that
many investment orders q with
drawn. MI. Valentine, who is the
largest provision operator in Chicago,
predicts $40 for top hogs, some time
during the summer. We do not con-
slider this prediction unreasonable and
it is quite possible that we will see
even higher prices.

REACH AN AGREEMENT.
Conferees on the War Revenue Bill
Get Together.

Washington, April S.-The conferees
on the war revenue repeal bill have
reached an agreement, the senate re-
ceding from it's amendment which re-
tanned the tax on "bucketshops." 1t
Vas stated that taken in consideration
with the repealed sections of the law
it was doubtful whether the senate
provision would stand and also that it
was quite likely that the provisions
would permit members of stock ex-
changes engaging in the business
which the amendment would prevent
among so-called bucketshop dealers.

CROPS IN THE VALLEY
WHAT THE INDICATION SHOW
WITH REFERENCE TO SEEDING
OFF CROPS Il

OF SfCOf0.
Grand Forks Herald: While the
floods and thaws and sunshine and
rains are getting the Red River valley,
soil into readiness for sowing the seed
for the coming crop, the farmers are
all busy getting everything in readi-
ness for the task before them. Hun
dreds Of carloads of drills, plows, har-
rows. and other implements for the
use of farmers have been shipped into
North Dakota within the past few
weeks and distributed among the deal
ers in these goods. A large force OF
men in the aggregate have been EN-
ployed in setting up this machinery,
and the local merchants have already
sold thousands Of dollars worth of i'm
elements. Many carloads of horses
have also been shipped into the state
during the past few weeks for use in
their farming operations. This state
is raising many more horses now than
in years past, but still the supply is
nowhere neal equal to the demand,
and the number shipped into the state
this year will aggregate several thous-
and. a: NJ .s,S g.,
A large proportion, probably 70 per
cent of the land in this vicinity was
prepared for crop last fall, by plow-
inc, the remaining portion remaining
to be prepared before seeding is done.
on the total area cultivated in the vi
cinity Of Grand Forks it may be stated
that approximately 60 per cent will be
sown to wheat, 20 per cent to. flax, 10
per cent to oats, and the remaining 10
per cent to rye, barley, corn, etc. n
area sown to fax will be a trife larger
than last and also the area sown
to corn. Wheat will remain, as in
years past, the staple crop OF the Grand
Forks county farmers. The same will
hold good practically throughout the
valley. Farther west the proportion
of flax will increase. Nelson county
will devote one-third of its cultivated
area to flax and Ward county will de-
vote 70 per cent of it's cultivated tracts
to fax. Varying weather conditions
will affect these estimates but slightly.
"A larger yield may be anticipated
Throughout the state this year. The
moisture now in the soil is believed
to be sufficient to give grain a good
start, which even a prolonged drouth
would not be likely to- seriously in
jure. Every year the farmers OF the
state are taking more care in the Sc
Election of seed, and in their methods
OF taking care OF the seed all the way
Through; more careful blowing, har-
rowing, sowing, harvesting, ~thrashing
and marketing; care in the mat
tier of the rotation of crops, etc. Il
may be stated, therefore, that larger
yields and better grades will be grown
Lin North Dakota than in the past. Il
is a fact, however. that the area under
cultivation will not increase SO rapidly
in the future as in the past. More
and more attention is being paid t.
stock raising, and more will be re.
quired for pasturing than in the past
Summer following is growing in favor
and It is even probable that the area
spwn to grains in Grand Forks coun-
ty will be less than it has been in the
past.
