lb* Prospect* Have Never Been So Bright
an At Present.
NEW TORE, June 20.—The World
•ays the revolutionary Cubans in this
city are jubilant. General Rafael Que
sada, who has just returned from Flor­
ida and New Orleans says that the
prospects for a free Cuba were never
so bright. Despite the proclamation by
President Cleveland, sympathizers will
continue to receive arms and enlist
men, and try to find means for getting
them out of the country. Under the
system they have organized in the
United States there is nothing to pre­
vent the. shipment of arms to Mexico,
and from theie to Cuba.
Approved Doe's Regimental Flag.
WASHINGTON, June 20.—Nearly all
the heads of the bureaus of the war de­
partment with General Ruger viewed
and approved the new regimental flag
designed by Assistant Secretary of
War Doe. A sample flag was in Gen­
eral Doe's office and an opportunity
offered to compare it with that now in
use and all agreed that it was much
more tasty and better adapted to the
service. The flag will be adopted for
the army. It is smaller in size, but
longer in proportion than that now
used.
To Inspect Bakeries.
ST. PAUL, June 20.—Labor Commis­
sioner Powers has begun active prepar­
ations for the inspection of the baker­
ies, under the law passed by the last
legislature. He called upon Hea.th
Commissioner Stone to arrange a con­
ference with him in which Health
Commissioner Avery of Minneapolis,
and Dr. Hewitt, of the state board of
health, will also be asked to participate.
The purpose of the meeting will be to
decide upon some uniform method of
inspection, and to secure co-operation
in the work.
Steel Wor .ergUec a 'Kaise.
MILWAUKEE, June 20.—The Illinois
Steel company has voluntarily ad­
vanced the wages of employes at the
Bayview mills in this city about 10 per
cent, to become effective at once. At
the offices of the company here it was
stated that owing to the general im­
provement in the business and the fact
that prices and prospects for the iron
aud steel material are much better than
tor several months past, the company
has decided to make the advanca,
which effects all departments aud
ivj^out 1,800 men.

GREAT KIEL CANAL
Something About the Big
Ditch Being Opened by
the Germans.
SHIPS OF MANY NATIONS
Present and Participating,
Laying the Last Stone.
The Banquet.
KIEL, June 20.—After the labors of
eight years and an expenditure of
about 166,000,000 marks ($38,500,000)
the great canal which joins the Baltic
sea to the German ocean is ready for
use. It intercects the peuinisula of
SSchleswig-Holstein, from Brunsbuttel,
near the mouth of the Elbe river, to
Hottenau, on the Kiel bay and opposite
that oity, a distance of about 59 miles.
The entrance at both termini have been
fitted with look gates for the passage
of vessels both entering and leaving
the canal. At the Kiel end the gates
will generally be opened. At the
Brunsbuttel end they will be opened in
normal weather during flood tide for a
period of three or four hours each day.
Each of the gates iB 27% yards in
width, and the space enclosed by its
walls is 154 yards in length. The low­
est possible depth at the Brunsbuttel
end is almost 20 fathoms, and at Holte
nau a trifle more. The lock gates or
sluices are operated by hydraulic
power. The whole canal is lighted by
electricity, said to be the longest dis­
tance in the world illuminated contin­
uously that way.
From Brunsbuttel to Rendsburg, a
distance of about 37 miles, the canal
runs northeast and thence on to Holte
nau, almost due east. At Rendsburg,
vesels coming from Kiel, if they do not
draw more than 10 feet, and are not
over 130 feet in length, can pass
through a lock into the Eider river and
thus reach the German ocean. Larger
vessels will .have to follow the course
of the oanal.
The purpose of the Baltic canal is
a.two fold one, commercial and naval.
AB for -the commercial advantages,
they result plainly enough since the
shortening of a voyage hitherto made
around .the Skager rock is considerable.
The military advantages accruing lie
in the fact that henceforth, in times of
war, the German navy cannot be rent
or kept apart provisioning of either
the Baltio or the North sea cannot be
intereupted or rendered impossible.
Germany has about 50 large and small
•vessels of her imperial navy at the
opening exercises, while the other na­
tions are well represented.
Great Britain has ten vessels, Italy
nine, the United States four, France
three, Russia three, Austro-Hungary
four, Scandinavia five, 'Spain three,
Denmark six, Holland two, Roumania
two. Turkey one. In all about 52 for­
eign vessels, with 814 officers and
17)462 men.
The Most Brilliant Feature
of the series of festivities will be the
laying of the last stone in the building
of the canal, and in the international
banquet which is to follow it, this
marking virtually the close of the offi­
cial programme of festivities. This
ceremony will take place in the open
air at Holtenau. The spot where the
emperor will perform this ceremony on
Friday has been embellished by hand­
some designs in landsoape gardening,
and the lighthouse in close proximity
shows already the three bronze reliefs
of Emperors William I, Frederick II,
and William II.
The grand banquet at which 1,000
guests will participate, including the
diplomatic representatives of the vari­
ous nations, will be given in a struc­
ture of original design, the latter being
based oh an idea of the emperor him­
self. The structure is a facsimile of a
huge vessel of ancient construction and
as in vogue in the 17th century. The
three masts, each being 109 feet high,
were taken from the hulls of the Niobe
and the Geifon, the earliest two ves­
sels of the infant German navy of 1850.
ILLINOIS EXTRA SESSION.
Governor Altgeld Made a Serious Mistake
in the Call.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills., June 20.—Mem­
bers of the legislature have already
begun to return to Springfield for the
extra session called by Gouernor Alt
geld, but a serious contingency has
arisen. It appears that the governor
omitted from the list of subjects for
consideration auy mention of an appro
priation to pay the expenses of an extra
session.
As the matter stands now, neither
the house nor senate can employ any
clerks, doorkgepeitt, policemen, jemitors
TWENTY-THIRD YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1895

sentative Berry said that he could
see no way out of the muddle
except for Governor Altgeld to
prorogue the general assembly and
issue anew call. To do this may cost
the state $15,000 in mileage and other
expenses.
PAYROLL STUFFERS.
Six Chicago Officials Arrested on That
Charge.
CHICAGO, June 20. —Six alleged pay­
roll stuffers have been arrested. They
are Thomas Croaker, foreman North
Division water pipe extension F. F.
White, time keeper for-Croaker James
McLaughlin, foreman South Chicago
water pipe extension Frank Sewards,
McLaughlin's time keeper James
Weir, foreman Town of Lake water

Tnwn Entirely Destroyed.
FRANKLIN, Ind., .June 20.—Bluff
Creek, a small country town off the
railroad, has been almost entirely de­
stroyed by fire. Fourteen buildings,
including three general stores with
their contents, were also consumed.
The loss is heavy, with one-half insur­
ance.
SINKING INTO THE EARTH.
fnrn of Andenried, Pa.. Being Slowly
Swallowed by a Collapsing Mine.
HAZLETON, Pa., June 20.—At 12
o'clock p. m. the supporting pillars in
the Beaver Brook mine began to give
way, and the town of Audenried, which
is built immediately over it, was thrown
into a state of the wildest excitement.
The gangways of the mine are 600 feet
fcelow the surface, and a total collapse
jneant the complete destruction of the
town.
The people were
warned
of their
peril by fissures and openings which
appeared in the earth between the hotel
aud company's store, and immediately
beneath the houses of the most promi­
nent townspeople. Several buildings
careened to one side, throwing the oc­
cupants from their beds.
The possibility of being buried alive
was too horrible to contemplate. Peo­
ple went frantic and pandemonium
reigned throughout the town. The
openings in the earth continued to be­
come wider and more numerous, and a
total collapse was momentarily looked
for.
The internal disturbances continued
all night, but the crash did not come.
The people camped in the meadow a
safe distance from the coal vein's out­
crop. Nobody thought of saving house­
hold effects. These will be left in the
houses until the settling shall have
ceased or the sinking takes place and
they are swallowed in the earth.
Among the houses destroyed are
those of Mine Superintendent D. R.
Roberts, General Manager H. E. Lub
ken, John McGee and William Bailey.
The disturbance has not yet ceased,
and the greatest excitement prevails.
"SIN OF SOCIETY GAMBLING."
Crusade of Birmingham (Ala.) Preachers
Against Euchre Piayers.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 20.—All the
ministers in Birmingham preached to
large congregations on "The Sin of
Society Gambling." The sermons were
highly sensational, and have caused a
great stir among society folks who play
euchre, whist and the like. The cru­
sade was begun by Dr. C. Morris,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
the largest and most fashionable church
in the city, who last Sunday night
severely scored society ladies who play
cards for prizes. He said if the officers
of the law would only do their duty
many of these gamblers would wear
stripes. He was glad to see the news­
papers publish the lists of prize winners
as it was a list of dishonor. He also
scored the bucket shops, which caused
Crowe & Co., brokers, to take him to
task in a card in the da iy papers.
M'LAUdhlLiN'S SENTENCE.
The Ex-Police Inspector Will Serve Two
and a Half Years at Sing Sing.
NEW YORK, June 20.—Police In­
spector McLaughlin has been sen­
tenced to two years and six months
imprisonment in Sing Sing. One
week's time is given him in which to
settle up his affairs. The police com­
missioners Tuesday night reinstated
McLaughlin in his rank in the poiice
force from which the board dismissed
him upon the finding of the jury that
he was guilty of extortion in office.

mysteriously disappeared a feiw days
ago, was found in the convent of Good
Shepherd, whither she had gone vo.un
tarily in pursuance of a frequently ex­
pressed determination to join that com

REPUBLICAN CLDBS
The National League at Cleve­
land holds Its Opening
Session.
RESOLUTIONS WILL BE READ
But Will Be Referred Without
Debate to the Resolutions
Committee.
CLEVELAND, June 20.—The eighth
national convention of the League of
Republican clubs convened in Music
Hall with 2,000 delegates in the audi­
torium and the galleries filled with vis­
itors. The hall is elaborately dec­
orated, as are also the Arcade where the
banquet is to be given and the hotels
and clubs. After prayer by Rev. S. L.
Darsey, Secretary Humphrey read the
call and addresses of welcome were
made by Mayor Robert E. McKisson
and President D. D. Woodmansee of
the Ohio league of Republican clubs.
'President Tracey of Chicago then de­
livered the annual address.
The forenoon session was taken up
largely by music, the cheering of lead­
ers on their entry the singing of the
Cleveland Glee club being a great
feature.
Silver Men Io§e*
When Secretary Humphrey called,
the states to ascertain the number of
delegates and alternates it was ascer­
tained that the states could report only
those present and not the number to
which they are entitled. This was
against the silver men whose delega­
tions were not as full as those of other
states.
During the call there were loud dem­
onstrations when Tennessee, Missouri,
Kentucky and other Democratic states
were called. The greatest ovation was
given to H. Clay Evans of Tennessee.
In his address of welcome Mr. Wood­
mansee of the Ohio league expressed
regret that Governor McKinley' was
prevented by his Kansas engagement
from welcoming the delegates to Ohio.
The reference to McKinley caused a
loud and continuous demonstration.
Mr. Woodmansee desired to say how­
ever, that Goverror McKinley would
reach the oity on Friday evening at the
Hollenden where he would be glad to
greet all and say farewell to one and
all.
Forty-six States Represented.
The secretary announced that there
were represented at the convention 46
states and territories, the largest num­
ber ever represented at any convention
of the league. The American College
league has 10 delegates present.
H. Clay Evans of Tennessee moved
to refer all resolutions to the committee
on resolutions without debate. An
amendment to refer without reading
was defeated, as the silver men protest­
ed. Mr. Evans' motion prevailed. The
secretary announced that the state del­
egations should report their members
of the committee on resolutions, com­
mittee on league work, committee on
rules and committee on order of busi­
ness, time and place, and these com­
mittees would meet at 4 p. m. A
meeting of the presidents of the state
leagues was announeed for 9 a. m. At
lpm. the convention adjourned for
the day to give the committees time tc
work.
Some Official Timber.
A. B. Humphrey, who has ben sec­
retary eight years, ever since the
National League of Republican clubs
was organized, announces positively he
will not be a candidate for re-election.
This withdrawal is in the interest of
General McAlpin for president, Mc
Alpin and Humphrey both being from
New York. The silver men had an­
other conference and decided to wait
until after the appointment of the com­
mittee on resolutions before taking any
action. If that committee is organ­
ized against free coinage they will in­
sist on the consideration of their 16 to
1 resolution in the convention, Their
glittering silver badges are the most
brilliant paraphernalia in the hall or
about the hotels and they are still con­
fident that the party must accede to
their demands to hold the Western
states.
Since the withdrawal of Secretary
Humphrey the New York delegation
promised the silver men the secretary­
ship if the latter would not oppose Gen­
eral McAlpin for president. The silver
men united on J. E. Byrnes of Denver.
The indications are that McAlpin and
Byrnes will l:e elected and that the
silver men may not place the name of
Colonel Trumbo before the convention
for president. E. J. Miller, secretary
of the Ohio league, has been mentioned
for secretary, but as D. D. Woodman­
see. withdrew as a candidate foe t-=-
rA\\ 'w
tmwvw&y**'
presidency at the request oi tne me
Kinley men, it is thought Miller's name
will not be presented.
To Pay Sugar Bounty.
WASHINGTON, June 2Q.—Secretary
Carlisle has signed regulations which
are to govern in the payment of the
bounty on sugar under the provisions
of the act approved March 2, 1895.

maple sap, beets, sorghum or sugar
cane grown or produced in the United
States prior to August 28, 1894, who

Mines Attempt to Resume Work.
ELKHORN, W. Va., June 20.—There
was an attempt on Monday to resume
work among the collieries in the flat
top coal field exclusive of those who
are using electrical machinery. Four of
them have made a start. The Algo,

work throughout the entire field is ex­
pected in about two weeks.
Winona Wants'Better Water.
WINONA, Minn., June 20.—The city

present pumped from wells near the
river shore, and is river water.

MR. MARTIN'S REPLY
Champion of Manitoba's Paro­
chial Schools Replies to
Premier Greenway.
GOVERNMENT DARE NOT APPEAL
Claimed That Public Schools
Are Not Only Protestant
but Unchristian.
WINNIPEG, June 20.—In the Mani­
toba legislature A. F. Martin occupied
the entire afternoon session and con­
tinued in the evening in reply to
Premier Greenway's defense of Mani­
toba's national schools. He congratu­
lated the premier and attorney general
on their secrecy during their last trip
East. As to the opposition being afraid
of an appeal to the country, he sug­
gested, in reply, that the government
was afraid to appeal. It was a wrong
insinuation that the Catholios wanted
inferior schools. He claimed that the
Catholic schools were equal to the
Protestants and in some cases far su­
perior. A Catholic school in Winnipeg
had more than half its pupils Protes­
tants and in a Catholic school in Bran­
don
More Than Two-Thirds Were Protestants.
He spoke sarcastically of the education
school inspections obtained by Protes­
tants with the aid of Catholic money.
Mr. Martin maintained that the public
schools were really Protestant schools,
and in support thereof he read from
the report of the department of educa­
tion for 1893, showing that there were
now religious exercises in the public
schools, but the Catholics were not al­
lowed to have their religion in the
schools. There was a horror of Catho­
lic teaching. He read from the Catho­
lic catechism to show what some of the
teachings were. He quoted from Prot­
estant ministers in the United States
who held that publio schools had been
Used There to Sap Christianity.
He had testimony regarding the educa­
tion of girls in those schools which he
did not consider fit to read in public,
but he would show it to any of the
members who might desire to see it.
He spoke of the early difficulties ex­
perienced here by both Protestants and
Catholics owing to lack of funds in.
making their schools efficient. He de­
nied that the Catholics had received, or
that it was possible for them to get for
their schools a cent more than they
were entitled to. He complained also
that the Catholics had never been told
that their schools were inefficient and
had never been asked to make them
more efficient.
LAIDLAW-SAGE CASE.

for the Plaintiff.
NEW YORK, June 20. —The fourth
trial of the suit of William R. Laidlaw
against Russell Sage for $50,000 ended
during the day. A stay in the case was
granted until next September, when
the jury brought in a verdict in the
plaintilf's favor for $40,000. The suit
was for damages alleged tb have been

sels in 24 hours, or one for every 15
minutes. Tne daily average of passing
vessels thus far in June is a fraction
over 95.
