President McKinley has par­ doned the Leech Lake Indians who were sent to jail for resisting the marshal. Government authorities estimate the gold production of the United States at f65,000,000 for 1898. The imports were $140,000,000. Gen. Gomez issues a proclama­ tion advising the Cuban army to not disband until it is paid. That is a nice problem for the American authorities to go up against. A Cuban paper reveals what it is claimed was the plot by which the Mxinc was destroyed in Havana harbor. A Spaniard named Bres mes is credited with arranging the plot. Th« town of Alden, Minnesota, has been paying interest for 29 years on railroad bonds that are due next year. By a vote of more than 2 to 1 the town has voted to contest the payment of the bonds, on the ground that something was irregular in their issue. Mr. Towne, of Duluth, was one of a dozen men who met in Chi­ cago this week and decided that free silver should be the issue in the in xt presidential campaign. The gentleman is evidently atoning »r his injury to the Republican party in the past. The Farmers' Alliance held a session in St. Paul this week. The leaders plan to have another or­ ganization, known as the Grain Growers' association, to work especially for the protection of growers and shippers of pram. J. J. Hill made a speech before the meeting on Tuesday, and made many suggestions that were well received by the farmers. Ignatius Donnelly is one of the leaders in the Alliance meeting. ANOKA WATER AND LIGHT FIGHT. Considerable local reference has been made to the contention be­ tween the city of Anoka and the company that is under contract to supply the citv with water and light. This week that city de­ clares all the contracts void, and in its resolutions gives the follow­ ing reasons: That said company has ftiltd to operate its said works so as at all times to furnish said city with a full and ample supply of water for fire purposes, as provided by said contract. That said company has failed to keep all fire hydrants rented of them bv the said city in good re­ pair and efficient for fire service and ready for use as provided by said co- tract. That said company has failed to keep ill hydrants supplied with water under sufficient pressure for effective service as provided by said contract. That said company has failed to make the annual test of said water works and system as provided by said contract. That said company has failed to furnish and keep in operation arc lights of the caudle power required by the said coutract. It will be seen that Anoka claims a contract has been violated by the company, and proceeds on that theory. In Little Falls the city has taken directly the opposite position, and maintains that there is no contract. —Missouri had a successful train robbery on Tuesday night, pear Mnromb.
