Leaders-Condtons Are Nov Very Serious

Havana, Sept. 14,--Congress viii
meet In special session at 3 o'clock
this afternoon. President Palma's mes
sage has not yet been given out but
it is rumored at the palace that he
will resign to congress but this has
not been verified.
Outside of the great amount of more
or less excited controversy about the
wisdom of landing the blue Jackets
from the Denver and the propriety of
their recall there is an absolute agree
ment that the landing of the marines
had wonderful influence towards
procuring an offer Of surrender of the
insurgents.
This offer was made just as the
concentration Of the insurgents in
Havana province had been practically
accomplished, presumably for move
ment on Havana city. For this reason
there is general satisfaction with the
landing incident.

Prenarinn for Trouble.

Washington, Sept 14-In conform
ity with plans put in execution several
days ago the navy department is
quietly preparing several other vessels
to join those already ordered to Cuba.
Common prudence has obliged the mill
tia and naval general staff and board
TO provide against any eventuality. So
while the navy is preparing its ships,
the army is being carefully studied by
the responsible ranking officers with
the view to quick sharp and effective
action in case it's services are needed.
So far as can be learned there have
been no troop movements in this con-
nection and although the army orders
provided for the return to the United
States from the Philippines of the
Twenty first infantry, (sailing- from
Manila Sept. 20) and the sixth infant

these are ordinary routine movements

Severe Electrical Storm at
East Grand Forks
JOHN TRESKE WAS A VICTIM
He TOOK REFUGE UNDER A SEP
ARAToR ON WHICH HE WAS
FOREMAN AND A BOLT OF.
LIGHTNING ENTERED THE
SMALL OF HIS BACK.

East Grand Forks, Mimi, Sept IA
One of the worst electric storms Of
the season passed over this place this
morning, resulting fatally to John
Treske, foreman of John Kennedy's
threshing crew, which was working on
Minnesota Point.
Treske and John CASTOR had taxi
en- refuge under the separator. The
lightning struck the rig and ran down
the tire of the wheel, against which
Treske was leaning. A small hole was
made in the victims back and the
electricity grounded through the hole
of his shoe. Treske survived about
three minutes in intense agony. The
deceased was "a years old.
CASTOR was badly shocked but will
recover.
A team belonging to the Grand
Forks laundry was killed in the streets
on this side, and Sam Shannon, the
driver, was badly shocked
Oscar Wick, a truck gardner, was
knocked unconscious and his horse
was also badly shocked.

HoL BUSINESS IN CONNECTION
WITH CORN cANNERIEs.

q
Washington. Sept 14.--In the manu-
facture of alcohol from corn cobs and
corn stalks at a small cost the depart
ment of agriculture is developing
new industry that the department says
is likely to be of large commercial
value.
Investigations which the department
is making at Hopeston, H., have
proved that large quantities of corn
cobs which every year, heretofore.
have gone to waste, can be converted
into alcohol in sufficient quantities to
justify the erecting OF a dlstIlIing
plant in connection with the corn can
merry.
The department of agriculture sent
two chemists to Hopeston to make
experiments at the large cannery there.
They have succeeded by a simple
method Of fermentation In getting the
yield OF eleven gallons OF alcohol from
a ton Of green cobs, and by similar
methods in getting six gallons of alco-
hol from ton Of green corn stalks.

Women in business do not find a

NAVAL oFFIcER,s TROUBLES.
A Switch Of Hair May Lose Him His
Position.

Vallejo. CAL, Sept. 1.-THE popping
OF champagne corks, the silken frou-
frou of feminine skirts at the midnight
hour on board the United States train
ing ship Independence, at Mare island
and the finding of a switch of false
hair in the room OF one of her officers,
has brought about a scandal. AS a
consequence the gay. dashing young
officer, Lieut.. Ed. Fl. Dunn. is now
the snDject Of court martial investiga-
tion and is in Danger OF losing his
shoulder straps.
Marion Churchill is the woman at
the root OF all the trouble. 1t Is said
that her desire for social recognition
led her to demand too much from the
officers, who were willing to jeopar-
die their standing to please her.
When she became too importunate she
was snubbed and then trouble began,
She retaliated with stories of the
doings of the navy set, and, 1t is
claimed, Lieutenant Dunn was selected
by his brother officers as a scapegoat
Stories of Marion Churchill's visits
to Dunn's stateroom and of how she
was entertained on board the Inde-
pendence We're told at the trial, as
was also the story OF the discovery oi
the gay Marion's switch on dress
ing table in the lieutenant's stateroom
mingling its dark strands with loi
of champagne corks and bottles. The
reports of the hearing have gone to
washington and Lieutenant Dunn nov
awaits his almost sure dismissal from
the navy.
