Plague in China
Home Rule for Cuba
A Madrid special to the New York
World says The Madrid Government it
Jias leaked out is about to try to steal a
march on President Cleveland
It is making preparation which it pre
tends are voluntary to put into force in
the West Indies same scheme of colonial
nome rule based upon the bill which
passed the Cortes in January 1895 The
reforms will go into effect as soon as Gen
Weyler guided by hints on the subject
from the Spanish legation in Washington
deems it expedient
Military men and statesmen having
colonial experience generally think it
rather late in the day for this strategy
But it is likely to please the majority oi
the Spaniards and as they fancy their
Government can thus avert American
mediation by demonstrating to Europe
and the American republics that Spain is
disposed to make concessions to her colo
nies
The Madrid press reports that all the
ministers strongly deny that this tardy
move has been dictated by any indication

was his pet lion Nero was killed and
Fitzsimmons severely shocked and quite
seriously injured
On account of the extremely warm
iveather the lion was taken to the roof of
Rumseys gymnasium on Erie Street
vhere he was chained up Shortly after
Midnight Fitzsimmons accompanied by
Ernest Rober the wrestler and Lewis
Robertson an attache of the gymnasium
went up on the roof to see the animal
On reaching the roof Fitzsimmons called
to the lion which upon hearing his mas
ters voice sprang forward to the length
of his chain and over some electric light
wires Showers of sparks followed the
contact of the chain with the wires The
lion received a shock and again jumped
toward Fitzsimmons who sprang back
against the wall of an adjoining building
The lion sprang past him drawing his
chain taught across the pugilists thighs
who cringed under the severe shock In
his agony the lion leaped over the edge of
the roof and hung by his neck Fitzsim
mons was pulled from under the chain
and removed to his hotel There is a
burn across his thighs and a small burn
on the knuckle of the index finger of his
right hand That is all the visible evi
dence of the terrible ordeal although

hour

some reaction but is a shade higher than

weeks have been only 2301917 bushels

BIG BOW AT THE END
SECRETARY CARLISLE SPEAKS
IN CHICAGO
ITree Silver Advocates Create a Scene
at the Meeting They Fire a Volley
of Questions at the Speaker Police
Take a Hand in Affairs
Carlisle at Chicago
Secretary of the Treasury John G
Carlisle addressed an audience in the Chi
cago Auditorium for nearly two hours
Wednesday night on the financial ques
tion
Gold was down on the program and
had the platform Silver was down on
gold and had the fun Altogether says
a correspondent the address of the gold
advocate was as near a Harvey Horr de
bate as the friends of the white metal
could make it And it only wanted a
little more warm blood and a little less
police to end in a row
Mr Carlisle had held his long and
august form in the vision of the people
for two hours when the silver men began
Then the lights went out and that ended
the incipient debate They began this
way Mr Carlisle had just thanked the
people for listening to him Col J C
Roberts a prominent member of the Peo
ples party and one of the editors of the
National Bimetallism who had stumped
the South for Mr Carlisle in the days
when the Secretary talked not of gold
but of silver arose in his seat and in a
voice that was heard above the din of

of the intended invitation they immediate
ly sent out for the representatives of the
association and firmly demanded that no
such invitation should he issued
RED LAKE RESERVATION
Grand Hush for Homes to Take Place
on May 15
In an irregular rectangle in northwest
ern Minnesota with a length of 112
miles and a breadth of 100 with a fron
tier of about 500 and containing 900000
acres ready for settlement is the great
Bed Lake reservation the last of the large
northwestern Indian reservations It is
to be opened to the settler on May 15 The
entire reserve consists of about 4000000
acres but much of it contains pine and
will not be allowed for settlement while
more is to be reserved for the 1500 In
dians of the Red Lake Chippewas and
will not come into the market until the
band is wiped out or has become suffi
ciently civilized to take and improve al
lotments and cease to be the ward of the
nation
The reservation is virgin territory of
meadow oak openings reclaimable bog
prairie and brush lands an unbroken wil
derness of pine and hardwood forest of
tamarack cedar and spruce swamp of
muskeg and of lake brook and river Save
the freighters roads to and from the trad

of the lake in the center of the lands and
the marks of the surveyors ax and scribe
on section line3 and corners there are no
signs of the intrusion of the white man on
this the greatest hunting and fishing
ground held for the northwestern Indians
Were it not for the prevalent industrial
and financial depression there would be a

cheering and other noises demanded the
attention of the chairman M J Carroll
who had called upon Secretary Grady
to read a resolution thanking Mr Carlisle
for having accepted the invitation of
trade unionists to address them
I desire to ask Mr Carlisle said
Col Roberts to answer one question
said the people and Mr
Carlisle did not turn his retreating form
M J Carroll who had not called for
short words of testimony in closing jump
ed up with the resolutions in his hand
Whereas
he began
Why dont you let the speaker answer
the question shouted another man ris
ing in an excited little group a
Whereas
Mr Chairman why dont you-
The whereas seemed to have it and
the resolution which advised all the work
ingmen to read Mr Carlisles speech and
voted him unlimited thanks was read al
though for the rising din it might as well
have been Weylers proclamation The
groups of silver men who were intent
upon asking the question were noisy and
belligerent But two policemen had Col
Roberts in their eyes and found him and
conducted the Populist to the rear
Chairman Carroll finally managed to
put the resolution of thanks to a vote
There were thunderous yeas but the
noes would have carried any ordinary
caucus Little whirlpools of turmoil were
forming in different parts of the house
and the policemen were kept busy The
crowd too was moving homeward
Hurrah for Eugene V Debs any
way yelled a silver man
This called forth a vigorous response
Hurrah for John G Carlisle shouted
a gold man in the gallery The house
was plainly gold
By this time the police had circulated
their rotund forms quite thoroughly and
the belligerents were quieted
The question which they wanted to ask
and for which Col Roberts rose related
to Carlisles speech in 1878 when he pro
nounced the demonetization of silver the
most gigantic crime of this or any other
age which would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all the
wars pestilence and famine that ever oc
curred in the history of the world
The silverites had fun earlier in the
evening by distributing the following trib
ute to Mr Carlisle until the police stop
ped them
John G Carlisle of Kentucky after
a lifetime devoted to the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was sud
denly converted in 1893 to the gold stand
ard in order to secure a seat in Cleve
lands cabinet
He now comes here fresh from the
banquet tables of the Wall street gold
bugs to tell the idle and starving work
ingmen of Chicago how they may be suc
cessfully robbed by the gold bugs for the

that at the opening of the Oklahoma coun

ment of people that the Northwest has
ever seen
German and Scandinavian farmers are
in the majority of incomers The States
of Iowa Minnesota and Dakota have
furnished the largest quota Southern
Michigan the Dunkard colonies of In
diana Nebraska and even the New Eng
land States are looked on to be represent
ed later by hundreds of colonists
The Red Lake lands are beautiful for
situation well watered by streams whose
sources are in never failing springs while
ten to fifteen feet will tap the underground
veins in any part of the lands to be open
ed There is no danger of drouth There
are no prettier locations for homes in all
the West than on the streams that the
Red Lake Indians have so zealously
guarded for these many years and are
now about to give up Around the streams
and bordering the lakes is the timber
growth which next to the meadow grass
will yield to the fortunate possessor the
most ample returns until the cleared land
may produce crops This timbered growth
comprises all the woods common to the
North poplar predominating and all in
a thrifty condition The timber is inter
spersed with hazel bushes an unfailing
sign of excellent soil Several railroads
are preparing to cross the lands in the
near future most of them running to the
Lake Superior entrepot of Duluth which
will give the finest market in the North
west to the grain and produce raised
Among these roads is the Farmers Rail
road of the North Dakota agriculturists
under the lead of D W Hines
The opening of this reservation will
have widespread results It will push
the frontier into Canada it will settle the
vacant lands in northern Minnesota and
make them tributary to the wholesalers
of Minneapolis St Paul and Duluth it
will double the population of the sur
rounding towns in a month it will add
25000 people to the census of Minnesota
in the first year it will infuse new blood
and new life into the farming communi
