He gald that in past years many young men had gone from the Dominion Into the States because of the greater resources In the latter country, but now, owing to revived prosperity, he said, emigration from Canada is ceasing. He closed his address by again thanking the audience for their welcome. Immediately after the close of. Sir Wilfrid's address, which was delivered in French, a man In the center of the hall arose and asked the speaker to say something in English, as a part of the audience had not understood any of hi. remarks. In response to this request the premier spoke in part, as follows: "Americans are governed by law and that being so we must obey the law and the law to-day Is that I am not to speak in the English language, but to peak it to-morrow. But, even at the risk of committing a bre'h of the law, let me thank the people of Chicago for their kind and cordial reception, which they have given to a brother of the north." Mr. Laurier was followed by Mr. Alphonse Pelletier, president of the Canadian Senate, and Mayor Prefontain. of Montreal, who paid an eloquent tribute to their fellowcountrymen In the United States.

Havana Is generally gay with flags, but to-day the city looked dull, most of the flagstaffs in the city being bare of bunting. The stars and stripes were flying over the public buildings and a majority of the consulates showed the flags of their respective nationalities, but private residences occupied by the consuls, with few exceptions, showed no flags. Particularly noticeable was the absence of the British colors over the residence of the British consul, which is on the main square. This is considered an unofficial way of showing the displeasure excited by what is considered an arbitrary and unnecessary order. No flags were hoisted (ver the Spanish consulate, and Senor Sagrarlo, the Spanish consul general, declares that he will not raise a flag until Mayor Lacoste considers the danger of disorder arising on account of displaying the Spanish flag is over or until he has received Instructions on the subject from the Spanish ambassador to the United States. Mayor Lacoste says the Hags were prohibited as a police measure to preserve order. He had certain knowledge that some Spaniards intended to decorate clubhouses all over the city with flags, the Galiego Club alone having erected ten flagstafts. This policy of the Spaniards, the mayor says, is one of the pinpricks they employ for stirring up the passions of the Cubans, while they themselves do not break the letter of the law. The order, the mayor declares, was not intended to suppress the flags of all nations, as none but trie Spanish flag has caused any disturbance. The flag over the Spanish consulate, if hoisted, he asserted, would be protected, even at the cost of lives of hundreds of Cubans. LAUNCH DESTROYED. Explosion Followed by .

S.-Sir John Christopher Willoughby, who accompanied Dr. Jameson into tho Transvaal in 1S96, and who, for participating in the raid, was sentenced to ten months' Imprisonment, but was subsequently released, was an unexpected passenger by the steamer Mexican which sailed for the Cape on Saturday. No berth had been taken for him. Mr. Weasels, member of the Cape Assem bly for Vryburgh, was also a passenger by the Mexican. In the course of an Interview with Mr. Wessels, that gentleman declared he saw no way to avoid war between Great Britain and Transvaal, which, if not long, would be. terribly severe. He believed it would be Impossible to restrain the younger Dutch residents of Cape Colony, with whom blood would prove thicker than water.

The Rome correspondent of the Times, discussing the rumors about papal intervention in the Transvaal imbroglio, asserts that, prior to the HlspanoAmerican war, there was an ardent drelre at the Vatican that the Pope should intervene, but the Washington government received a discreet Intimation that if the Pope's arbitration were accepted the verdict would be a foregone conclusion. This fact alone, the correspondent adds, would Justify England In refusing the Pope's Intervention in the Transvaal. War IVotcs. ' BOMBAY, Oct. S.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT. Ind., Oct. 8. John Mitchell, a young man about town of unsavory reputation, was arrested by the police yesterday, charged with attempting a criminal assault on Miss Julia Keho. an aged spinster, last Sunday morning. He was taken before Miss Keho, who Is now lying in St. Joseph's Hospital suffering from the effects of injuries inflicted on her by her assailant, and was Immediately identified by his victim. The assault occurred early Sunday morning, Oct. 1, as Miss Keho was going to church. She was attacked while passing through a lumber yard near the Wabash Railroad. Her Injuries were such that she was sent at once to the hospital, where she has since been, and Mitchell, although sought for by the police, had evaded arrest until yesterday. Since his arrest other charges of the same nature have been preferred against him. Yesterday Mrs. Ida M. Fritz, who resides near the Wabash Railroad, near where the assault on Miss Keho was made, Identified Mitchell as the man who had attempted an assault on her earlier on the same morning in the yard of her home. She at once filed an affidavit against him. To-day another charge of assault was placed against Mitchell.

Sullivan says that the crime was committed on Sept. 18, at which time Mitchell dragged the girl down tho Wabash river bank, and, under threats of killing her if she made any resistance, assaulted her. Sullivan states that he. laid the matter before the police at the time and demanded Mitchell's arrest, but for some reason no action was taken.Some weeks ago Mitchell was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Sourbrlne, wife of a Panhandle switchman, who charged him with assault with criminal intent as she was going home one Saturday night.

Special to the Indianapolis journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct. 8.-OU men in this city who operate in the Indiana field are looking with more than usual concern to the development of the Pulaski and Jasper county fields. There Is a peculiarity about the northern Indiana field not generally known to those not interested in the oil business, and In great contrast to the conditions of this section. The oil there is found in the limestone stratum at the depth of 2Z0 feet. The oil found is known as lubricating oil, and the price paid for such crude is $3.50 per barrel. The wells, however, are not so prolific as those found here, and a well averaging six barrels a day is rated as a heavy producer. To the average operator such conditions are quite encouraging for the reason that the machinery necessary to pump one well can pump a dozen wltbj the same power. It Is regarded as the poor operators' paradise, and that there will be a great influx of operators from this section to the new Eldorado there is no doubt. The high price paid for lubricating oil is a big incentive to the operator. The only drawback to the field is the fact a Chicago syndicate has 2S.00O acres under lease whichy covers most, of the prospective territory as U is now viewed by experienced men. . " Another Important movement of two great oil corporations is claimed to be about completed by oil men well versed In the trade. The report that was published a few days ago relative to the absorption of the Manhattan Oil Company bv the Standard originated, they claim, in the negotiations that are ponding between the Cudahys and the Manhattan Oil Company. They claim It is no secret that these two companies have beep discussing a combination for some lime, r.r.d the Indiana and Ohio operators hope that a deal will be conrummated. This would raaite a formidable competitor to the Standard. AORTHER LUTHERAN SYNOD. An Ordination Service Closes the Lotransport llcetlnjr.

The onions when ripe are pulled, and when the tops get dry they are cut off, or topped, with sheep shears In the hands of men. women, boys and girls. As the process of topping is being carried on the onions fall into bushel crates which are left standing wherever filled, and thl. reason they are pretty close together. Theae crates are gathered up and the onions cribbed. Sometimes they go through the process of screening before the onions are cribed or stored. The screening is done on the same principle as that of screening plaster or sand., all the small and unmarketable onions going through and t the same time cleaning them of tops and skins which natural accumulate in the crates.
