DEN MARK.

The Lolland, one of the steamers
of the United Steamship Company,
was lost in the North Sea. Six
members of the crew were saved by
the Swedish steamer Saga, and they
explained the cause of the wreck.
The Lolland was on it's way from
Blyth, England, to Korsof, Denmark,
with cargo of coal, and a fierce
storm was encountered. The cargo
was shifted, and the vessel COM
menced to leak. In spite of the
working of the pumps the water rose
until finally the fire under the boilers
went out. Then the captain gave or
ders to have the boats lowered. But
there were only two left. the others
having been dashed to pieces. One of
them, which carried the six men re-
ferred to above, was picked up by the
Saga four hours later. All that the
men can tell about the fate of the
other boat and its occupants was. that
it was placed on the water. But they
saw the ship sink, with its command
er, Captain Nielsen Of Nakskov, stand
ing on the bridge until he was swal-
lowed up by the waves. Besides those
already mentioned there were ten
men and an unknown lady passenger,
and it is supposed that they all per-
ished.

MINNEAPOLIS MAN SUES.
w. II. MeGrath Asks Damages for
Alleged Fake Contests.

Council Bluffs.-Two more civil suits
were filed in the federal court to re-
cover $685. alleged to have been lost
as a result of fake wrestling and prize
fights promoted by J. c. Maybray, now
under indictment for allegel illegal
use of the mails. Twelve of these
suits have been filed, involving $14O,-
900.
The first case is that of w. H. Nc
Grath, a lumberman, of Minneapolis,
who sues for $4,000. The suits is d.
rected against the First National bank,
Ernest E. Park, national Republican
committeeman for Ohio, BENJAMIN
Marks, a local capitalist whose name
also figures in the Maybray indict-
ments, Maybray himself and p. c..
Connors formerly cashier of the First
National bank and now connected with
the City National bank, of this city.
The other suit is brought against
Benjamin Marks and Maybray, by p.
E. George, of San Antonio, Texas. He
charges that he lost his money in New
Orleans, where, after losing $3.50 on
fake wrestling match he was in
duced to return home and secure
$4,000 more which he also lost in a
similar manner.

MANkATo CHARTER TRIALS.
Commission Form Of Government
Turned Down.

Mankato.-The new Mankato city
charter providing for a commission
form of government failed by "a votes
to receive the necessary four-sevenths
majority required by the state law
at the special election. It received
762 votes to 63S, or 154 majority.
The result was brought about by the
activity of the saloon element in op-
posing the charter. Opposed to the
money spent and the work done by
this element those who favored the
new charter put up an insignificant
fight.
Had the advocates, aside from the
charter commission, been equally &C.
tive the result would have been diff
ferent. Fully 700 voters did not come
out, and it is estimated that three
fourths of these were favorable to the
new charter. The lower three wards,
with large German population, came
much nearer casting their full vote
than the upper wards. These three
wards cast 514 votes against the new
charter to 234 for. The upper three
wards cast 562 for to 124 against.

TO GRIND CANADIAN WHEAT.
New Tariff Law Provides for Domestic
Sale Of 6y,Products.

Minneapolis.-The Minneapolis -four
mills will again be grinding Canadian
wheat before another crop has been
raised in the United States. This is
the opinion of millers who have given
close study to the new tariff bill and
the drawback provisions therein. The
great obstacle in the way of handling
the imported raw material has been
the disposal of the by-product. The
bonding law on the statute books prior
to the passage of the new tariff act
hold that the entire product OF the i'm.
ported wheat should be exported, and
the plan was therefore practically un-
workable. The mills of Minneapolis
did grind considerable wheat in bond
and under drawback regulations. but
that was in time of an extraordinary
general disarrangement of worlds
prices.
Drawback Provision.
The drawback provision nov apply
ing to millers and which will be partic-
ularly important to the mills of Min.
neapolis, Duluth, Buffalo, New York,
and other centers close to the Canadian
border, will permit the miller to enter
the worlds markets, buy whest, grind
1t in bond and export the flour. The
by-product may then be taken from
the bonded mill and sold for domestic
consumption upon the paymen: by the
miller of the duty that would be as
sessed by the government if the by.
products had been imported. The mil
lers were contending for this while
the tariff bill was before congress.
AS to the ability of the millers to
import wheat under this more liberal
provision, the Northwestern Miller.
which has been investigating The mat
ter, says:
Calculations have shown that un-
der 20 per cent ad valorem DUTY an.
plying to by-products from foreign
wheat, when the latter are withdrawn
for domestic consumption, foreign
wheat at AZ cents a bushel under the
American market, can be ground by
the American miller without loss. At
any price representing a greater diff.
ference than ~ cents there would
be proportionate profit to the Ameri.
can miller"

rive DAMS 90 OUT.
City Electric Plant Destroyed In Sud
den Flood.

Fergus Falls. Five big masonry
dams in the vicinity Of Fergus Falls
were washed away. First the big city
concrete dam which furnished power
for the electric light plant was washed
out.
Two men who were sleeping in q
nearby house were awakened by the
noise Of rushing water and noticed
water pouring up through the cracks
of the floor.
They hurried on up the hill where
the electric light station was located,
but before they had reached it the
plant was washed away.
The city dam was 30 feet high and
located one and a half miles north of
the city. The water went with fury
and the water works dam, which is
just outside of the city limits, gave
way. A bridge which spans the river
a short distance down the stream also
was carried away. A number of build
ings and other structures in the path
of the flood were destroyed. Base.
ments Of buildings in this city are
flooded, but no houses are known to
have been taken.
Third Dam Washed Away.
The torrent of water encountered
third dam, known as the Wright dam.
This dam furnished power for two
large flour mills. The water washed
around the west end of the mills and
partly carried away one of them.
A fourth dam, known as the Red
river mill dam, located a short dis
tance down the stream, gave way.
The Northern Pacific bridge, which
spans the river at this point, was
threatened for a time, but remained
intact.
The fifth dam was the woolen mill
dam. It furnished power for the local
woolen mills. The dam remained
standing but the water washed around
the south side and rendered it use-
less.
The dams are all inside the city linn
its. On account of the city dam, which
furnished power for the electric light
plant, being washed out, every wheel
in this city is shut down. The public
schools were forced to close, owing to
the lack of water supply.
Fergus Falls would be in very bad
way were it not for the fact that a
large concrete dam, known as the Day.
ton Hollow dam, was constructed five
miles below the city last year. This
dam takes the flow of water from the
Red river and Pelican river and fur
nishes 1900 horsepower. A line will
be Immediately constructed to this
dam and the lighting of the city re-
sumed. The city water system and
the insane hospital have auxiliary
steam plants and these will be put
into operation at once.
The loss to this city in the destruc-
tion of the electric light plant will be
$65.00O. 1t may also be liable for the
destruction of the other dam, but this
is not probable. The total loss is esti.
mated at 100000. -.

ease the opposition faction headed by
state Senator Patrick H. McCarren, of

nomination of Comptroller Metz, of
that borough. The convention nomi-
mated for this Office Robert M. Moore,
president OF the Commercial Trust Co.,

NORWAY.

Something akin to mutinous
has been started among the
on-commissioned officers of the Nor
wegian army. The young men who
are attending the military schools in
the large cities have asked for permis.
sion to leave the schools. But the
most serious feature of the movement
is, that the older non-commissioned
officers of the Kristianssand brigade
have planned systematic agitation
against the schools for non-commis-
stoned officers. There is no secrecy
about it. A meeting representing all
the corps of the brigade passed res.
olution calling upon all the non-com-
missioned officers in the country to
disseminate information as to the fu-
ture- prospects of graduates from the
schools for non-commissioned Off

chastise those who passed this resolu-
tion. But the trouble is, that the SEN
timent expressed by the resolution is
general throughout the whole coun-
try.

has just returned from Spitzbergen,
