FAILED FOR A MILLION
THE SKY-ROCKET CAREER OF A
SOI'THERX CATTLE
MAN
LARGE INTERESTS INVOLVED
—
Regrnn on a Piece of Mortsaced
Land, and Soon Controlled 200,
--000 Hend of Cattle and Almost
1 iillmKed Credit 111* BuKlnenn
Methods hn Novel a* They Were
Dariiig Ilenvlly Insured.
ABELJNE. Kan., Nov. 25.— A failure
Involving 1 cattle Interests throughout
the Southwest was precipitated here
today when an attachment suit for
$40,000 was filed against Grant C. Gil
lett, of Woodbine, by the Gillesple
Commission company, of Kansas City.
Gillett controls thousands of cattle
on the southwest ranges and his liabil
ities are believed to be over $1,000,000.
The career of Grant C. Gillett has
been of the skyrocket order. He is
but thirty-one years of age, and his
operations have startled the more
conservative stockmen. Four years
ago he lived on a mortgaged quarter
section of land, near Woodbine, where
he began in his cattle trade by feed
ing steers for others. In this iie was
■node— fifl, and on the little ranch i\e
laid the groundwork of a business
which has enabled him to handle over
200,000 cattle within the last three
years. His methods were as novel as
they were daring. Soon he seemed to
have unlimited credit. He bought great
drov< s of cattle in Texas and brought !
them north for sale and feeding. Soon
he organized his celebrated cowboy
band, composed of plainsmen in his
employ,* and, when he rod<? about the
country in his special car, he took his
band of musicians with him. He even
tuck them into Eastern cities, where
they attracted much attention.
Mr. Oillett is said to have recently
! taken out $237,000 of life insurance and
$200,000 of accident Insurance.
NOT AN EXPANSIONIST.
• tin- Senator Voice* Hi* \icn» on
tlie Philippine Question.
WASHINGTON, Xov. 25. — Senator
Francis M. CockreH has arrived in
Washington after a long and ex
haustive campaign in his native state
of Missouri, the result of which assures
hi.^ re-election to the senate for a fifth
j term.
"it is impossible to say what the
senate will <1" with the peace treaty,
i as it is not known yet what the con
ference at Paris will agree upon final
ly," said the senator. "Personally, 1
Hm Opposed to taking the Philippines.
The policy of expansion, about wihich
we hear so much, is not defined very
clearly by its advocates, but it seems
to me that the annexation of islands
thousands of miles from our coasts
will involve very grave questions, and
it is of doubtful wisdom. In my judg
ment, it is entirely unnecessary."
DISS DEBAR AGAIN.
On Her Way to n New Home In
Florida With Her Husband.
TAMPA. Fla.. N.V. 25.— The steam
ship Whitney of the Morgan line, ar
rived at Port Tampa from New Or
leans, with a large cargo of general
merchandise. On board th« vessel
when she touched at her dock was
Mrs. Diss Debar, who has made her
self famous and notorious. She has a
new husband with her, and they are
taking the bridal trip, having come
from Xew Orleans. They are en route
to Lee county, where the madame and
husband own a large tract of land.
Mrs. Diss Debar m«de quite a sensa
tion on her arrival at Port Tampa,
wearing, in connection with her strange
garb, which was becoming the daugh
ter of a king, about $10,000 worth of
diamonds on her fingers.
TERRIBLE STORM.

LOS AXQELES, Cal., Xov. 23.— A terrible
wind storm in the oil district caused much
damage. Thirty-seven derrick* and many
overhead pulley wires and smokestacks were
blown down. Two oil tanks holding 1.000
gallons of oil were punctured by falling fler
rkks and the oil is running through the
streets. Several houses and barns were

There I* a Lively Skirmish on fox
tlie Senate Secretary ship—Da
luth Has a Candidate for the
Chaplaincy In the Same Branch
Other Interesting Legislative
Gossip.
Twelve of the sixteen Republican
representatives of the Sixth con^res-
I Bional district in the larger branch of
j the legislature, with a particularly
j solid representation of the eenatorial
delegation from the same region of the
state, sat in a back room at the Wind
sor hotel for an hour last night and
indorsed Albert N. Dare, of Elk River,
for speaker of the house.
The caucus had been called several
days ago by J. D. Jones, of Long
Prairie, and A. F. Ferris, of Brainerd,
and, while it was conceived by those
who received invitations, from the in
timacy between these two men and
Dare, that the indorsement of the Elk
River man for speaker would probably
be one of the chief subjects for con
sideration, there was a disposition # ln
come quarters to discuss other sub
jects while the party was In session.
The Duluth delegation, for Inetance.
has a candidate for chaplain of the
senate, Rev. Robert Forbes, and
Wright county haa a young man
named Guy Eaton who would like to
be assistant sergeant-at-arms of the
senate.
It is told of Eaton that he was rid
ing through Wright county on a bi
cycle and punctured a tire, and, while
he was having it mended at a repair
shop, the people nominated him and
elected him county surveyor. This la
probably exaggerated, but they do say
that he had barely lived in the county
long enough to acquire a legal resi
dence when he was chosen to the
place. He is said to be a popular
young man, a globe-trotter, in a way,
and a loyal Republican.
Then the district has a candidate
for secretary of the senate in the per
son of James A. Martin, of St. SCloud.
Martin has been prominent in St.
Cloud politics for a dozen years, and
has been city clerk there. He wanted
to be postmaster, but Page Morris
turned him down and secured the ap
pointment of H. G. Wive. Martin,
however, instead of sulking in his tent,
stuck to the G. O. P., and now Morris'
friends, as well as those who were not
especially warm toward him, are boom
ing Martin for the secretaryship.
There is possibly a little apathy in Du
luth, that grasping community having
-a -notion that, perhaps, the Zenith City
will suffer if Elk River gets the speak
ershlp and St. Cloud the secretary
ship.
But none of these subjects was dis
cussed at the conference of last even
ing, it was said, further than was In
volved In the determination, for the
present at least, to confine the delib
erations of the body to the speakership
contest.
In this matter Mr. Dare received the
unanimous vote of the twelve house
members present, the senators not
taking any part in the matter, save to
express themselves as opposed to any
thing which might be of a nature to
hamper him.
The campaign of Mr. Dare was en
trusted to a "steering" committee con
; listing of A. F. Ferris, of Brainerd;
Gteorge R. Laybourn, of Duluth; H. R.
Maliette, of Foreseen, and T. M. Pugh,
Of Duluth.
The only house members absent were
i James T. El well, of New Brighton, who
\ is himself a candidate for speaker; D.
jP. Boutwell, of Clearwater; Frank
! Swanson, of Wright county, and one
of the members from Duluth, whose
; position is understood to be in accord
. w:th the position taken by the other
Duluth members.
• • •
There is no longer any concealment
B bout the candidacy of W. H. Yale, of
! Winona, for the speakership of the
house. His friends are openly advo
cating him, and, indeed, he arrived yes
teiday in time to do a little canvassing
on his own hook before the Sixth dis
trict caucus was called. No one ques
tions the Winona veteran's ability. He
has been In the legislative councils of
the state off and on since 1367, and he
possesses the rare distinction of hav
j ing served the same county in the state
1 senate at separate sessions thirty years
• apart, for he was in the senate in 1897,
| too. He presided over that branch of
i the legislature as far back as 1870, and
; is an experienced parliamentarian. The
! governor, as he is know n to all his
! friends, is personally popular, and even
his adversaries in the present contest
do not challenge his fairness should he
j be chosen to the speakership.
It is not improbable that the politics
| of the situation may prove a source of
j considerable strength to the Winona
' man. The First district has always
| been Republican, practically. It -was
Republican this time, and that, too,
after a series of rebuffs such as has
been rarely administered to any dis
trict. First, the convention turned
down Sam Van Sant for governor, and
then It turned down Sam A. Langum
for secretary of state; all this after
Judge Littleton, of Dodge county, had
i withdrawn from the race for attorney
t <; general lest it be suggested that the
' j First district had too many candidates.

' of the 3even which gave a plurality for
\ Eustis at the recent election, and many
» Republicans say that where the district

WORK OF THE NAVY
ASNTAL REPORT OB* SECRETARY
LONG RECOUNTS INCIDENTS
OF THE WAR
SCHLEY SHORT OF COAL
Compelled for That Season to Ig
nore Orders of the Department
to Proceed to Santiago to Inter
cept Admiral Cervcra Haw the
Spanish Squadron Wai Sighted
and Finally Destroyed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.— The an
nual report of the secretary of the
navy Is much longer than the usual
annual report. The first sentence ex
plains this as follows:
"For the first time since its rehabili
tation, the navy has been put to the
supreme test of war. Tears of patient,
persistent training and development
had brought it to a point of high effi
ciency, which resulted in the unparal
leled victories at Manila and Santiago —
victories which have given the names
of our naval commanders world-wide j
fame, and added an additional page to
the glorious naval history of our coun
try."
The report describes In rapid order
the steps taken to consolidate the
squadrons and put the navy in readi
ness for hostilities. Sigsbee's famous
telegram asking a suspension of pub
lic opinion In connection wltsh the blow
ing up of the Maine is quoted, and the
secretary says:
"This Judicious telegram did much to
secure, in the public mind, a dis
passionate view of th* 1 disaster."
The story of D.ewey'B victory at Ma
nila is told, and of It the secretary
says:
"Aeide from the mere faot of having
won, without the locs of a single life,
such a brilliant and electrifying vic
tory at the very outset of the war, with
all the confidence which it infused
throughout the country and into the
personnel of every branch of the serv
ice, it removed at once all apprehen
sion for the Pacific coast. Thus the In
direct pecuniary' advantage to the
United States in the way of saving an
Increase of Insurance rates and in as
suring the country of freedom from
attack on that coast 13 incalculable."
The secretary tells how, Cervera's
fle?t having sailed from Cape Verde
islands, April 29, for an unknown des
tination, Sampson sailed east, with a
portion of his fleet, for the purpose of
observation. At Cape Haltlen, May 7,
the department advised him that the
Spanish squadron was reported at St.
Thomas. The following statement ex
plains officially why the bombardment
of San Juan was not forced to an end.
"Instructions were also received that
the vessels accompanying him were not
to be risked or crippled in the bom
bardment of fortifications, as it was
considered unwise to risk any of the
vessels of our navy until the Spanish
fleets had been" met aivi destroyed.
"The squadron did ftj < arrive off San
Juan until the morr.ing of the 12th.
The bombardment of that place follow
ed, for two hours an<s a bait, but, as
there was no land force to hold it in
case of its surrender, and as the Span
ish fleet was not there, it was deter
mined to return to Havana, where it
was po^atblc Cervera rrlght hive gone."
ORDERED TO CIENFUEGOS.
The report shows that the flying
squadron, under Schley, was ordered
to Cienfuegos upon notice that Cer
vera's squadron had been seen off
Curacao. But, on May 20, the depart
ment, having heard that Cervera was
at Santiago, advised Sampson to order
Schley to proceed on! that port. By
the Marblehead Schley was instructed
to proceed to Santiago if ha was satis
fied that the Spanish squadron was nat
at Cienfuegos. On May 22 Sampson
had dispatches stating that Cervera
was in Santiago on the 21st, and, also,
that he was expected to visit San Juan,
and that Schley should follow him.
This sent Sampson Into the Nicholas
channel to prevent an approach from ,
that direction. On the 26th Sampson
received from Schley a letter dated the
23d, stating that he was not satisfied
that the Spanish squadron was not at
Cienfuegos, and that he would there
fore remain off that point with his
squadron. The next day Schley was
informed that Cervera had teen in San
tiago from the 19th to the 25th, and
he was directed to proceed with all
dispatch to that port. At this time he
telegraphed Sampson, under date of the
24th, that coaling oft Cienfuegos was
very uncertain; that the Spanish fleet
was not In Cienfuegos; that he would
go eastward on the 25th, but on ac
count of short coal supply he would
not blockade if Cervera was in San
tiago, but would go to Nicholas Mole
to communicate. Upon receiving this
Information Sampson decided to go to
Key West for coal at once, .and if au
thorized to proceed to Santiago in per
son. Schley left Cienfuegos on the 24th
and stopped on the following day
twenty miles eastward and southward
of Santiago to repair the collier Mer
rlmac. At 7:50 p. m. he signaled to the
squadron:
"Destination Key West via south side
of Cuba and Yucatan channel, as soon
as collier Is ready. Speed, nine knots."
CERVERA AT SANTIAGO.
After steaming to the westward until
11:20 p. m., the squadron again stop
ped to make repairs to the Yale. On
the morning of the 27tb the Harvard,
from Mole St. Nicholas, delivered to
Commodore Schley the following dis
patch:
"Washington, May 38. MSS— Harvard, St.
Nicholas Mo'.e. Haiti: Proceed at once and
inform Schley and also the *enlor officer pres
ent off Santiago, as follow*: All department's
information indicates Spantah division Is still
at Santiago. The department looks to you
to ascertain facts and that the enemy. If

PARIS, Nov. 25.— The Picquart case
Begins in the way of raising even a
greater storm than the Dreyfus affair.
The paiper3 favorable to the general
staff are dumb in the fac-e of the bare
faced decision of the military governor
of Paris, Gen. Zurlinden, to try Col.
Picquart by court martial, while these
favoring revision are furious at this
new attempt to defeat Justice, and pro
test against the court martial being
ordered. Nobody believes that Col.
Picquart is guilty of any crime, ex
cept, a courageous desire to render
justice to Dreyfus, but on all sides it
Is recognized that in a court martial
he may be condemned on some techni
| cality, thus attaining the apparent ob
ject, which is to throw doubt upon his
depositions before the court of cassa
tion in the Dreyfus trial.
Every one is asking the motive of
Gen. Zurllnden in so persistently pur
suing Col. Pic-quart, and why a court
martial, if ordered, could not be post
poned until the decision of the court
of cassation has been given.
Every one is asking whether it Is a
desperate attempt to shield the former
minister of war. Gen. Mereier, and the
general staff, even at the risk of pre
cipitating disaster and the nation's
hatred, and, in any event, of driving
every doubling person into the Drey
fusite party.
SENSATION COMING.
A protest against vhe court martial
of Picquart, bearing the signatures of
leading authors, politicians and jour
nalises, is being widely circulated for
further names, and will be presented
to the government.
This evening it is reported that M.
de Preycinet, minister for war, has
consented to be Interpellated on the
subject In the chamber of deputies,
next Monday, when a sensational scene
may be expected.
Another feature is the advent of hos
j tile criticism now poured upon M. de
! Freycinet, who is accused cf quailing
| before G-en. Zurlinden and the general
j staff. Maltre Labor!, Col. Picquart'a
! counsel, says he is convinced that it
\ will be impossible to condemn Picquxrt
on the charge o-f forgery, but that the
accused officer miay possibly be con
| demned on the charge of communlcat
| ing secret documents, although the
documents were in no way inimical to
| the state.
Col. Picquart continued his evidence
before the court of cassation during
the whole day, and his deposition is
expected to consume several days m ire.
There Is some hope that he may secure
Justice, ov/lngr to the presence on the
court martial of Col. Bonal, who is a
great friend of Col. Picquart. but M.
Clemenceau declares that the court
martial is packed and accuses De Frey
j cinet of allowing an innocent man to
i be victimized in order to increase his
I own chances at the next presidential
election.

PARIS, Nov. 25.— There was a very

terrible disaster of the charity bazaar

| In progress in the vestry room of the

i many girls from the schools were in
attendance, the cinematograph lamps
were suddenly extinguished and a

allaying the panic, but not before sev

Injured by trampling.

with the president except Secretary
Long, who is out of the city. The meet
ing was called by the president in or
der that his advisers might consider,
with him, advices received this even-
Ing from the American peace commis
sioners at Paris. It is understood that

At the conclusion of the meeting Sec
retary of State Hay said that the presi
dent had received some advices from
Paris, which he desired to lay before

members together to consider them"
The nature of the advices, Mr. Hay de

a matter which could not be gone into
for publication at this time. He added
however, that after considering the
contents of the dispatches, the presi
dent had cabled the American commis
sioners reiterating his former instruc
tions.
It is understood that one point new
in the negotiations thus far, w«as raised
in today's communication by the Span
iards. It related to a modification of
the terms of the proposition submitted
to the Spanish commissioners a few
days ago by the American commission
ers, but in Just what particular the pro
posed modification waa to be mada
could not be ascertained.
That the proposition was not accept- .
ed was made clear by the president in
eatlizvg to the American commissioners
a reiteration of his former instructions.
The American commissioners will In
sist that the demands of the United
States, as presented to Spain a few
days ago, be considered without fur

SENOR RIOS MYSTERIOUS.
Say* Spaniards Will Do turn Instruct
ed From Madrid.
PARIS, Nov. 25.— Sen or Montero Rios
told the correspondent of the AssocLat
ed Press this evening that the Span
ish peace commissioners had not yet
decided upon the answer to be given
to the last American memorandum.
"We are considering the matter," he
said, "in a conciliatory spirit, and are
anxious to re-establish friendly rela
tions between the two countries. At
the fame time we are here to defend
the interests and honor of Spain."
In reply to an inquiry as to whether
there was any truth in the report that
the Spanish commissioners had decided
to accept the American offer of $20,
--000,000 for the Philippines, Senor Rios,
shaking his head, said:
"No, no, the comm.tesion has not yet
decided on its answer. What our re
ply will be can only be determined at
the conference on Monday, when we
will discuss the matter with the Amer
icans. At the same time," he added,
in a still lower voice, "we will follow
the instructions that may be received
from Madrid."
"Then the final instructions have not
yet come?"
"Ah, but we are approaching a confi
dential matter," paid Senor R:o^, it n »-
Cf-ntly. "Everything connected with
both commissions is a secret."
APPEAL Tfl ARMS.
The Carllst* Ready to Strike a Final
Blow in Spain.
MADRID, Nov. 25.— The government
has announced that the Paris peace
conference will end Nov. 28. On the
same date Don Carlos will leave the
Chateau Loredan, Venice. His son,
Don Jaime, who Is an officer in the
Twenty-fourth regiment of Russian
dragoons, will arrive on the same day
at the Spanish frontier. It is believed
here that a supreme appeal to arms
on the part of the Carlists is imminent.
The public continues to ridicule the
idea of accepting $20,000,000 for the
Philippines. While the people are
willing to see ahead of them relief
from the colonial burden, they yet
hope to see Spain realize enough from
parting from her islands to enable her
to start in life, as it were, with a new
set of books.
Gen. Blanco is expected to arrive in
Spain with the ashes of Christopher
Columbus early in December.
Considerable apprehension Is mani
fested by Premier Sagasta and his col
leagues by reason of news of active ag
itation on the part of the anarchists In
th« south of Spain.
