Washington, March 11.—The interest
of the past week in congressional circles
has centered in the investigation of
secret session leakages in which Mr.
Dot pit's committee h.m been engaged.
That committee is now engaged in call¬
ing senators as witnesses and their ex¬
amination may keep the committee
busy during a greater part of the week.
The general impression is that with this
examination the investigation will cease
and that the proposed imprisonment will of
recah ltr.iut newspaper witnesses

tional bill will occupy the senate’s after¬
noons during the week and an effort

gain the confidence which their policy
in other directions has lost them. It is,
however, a forlorn hope. <

Forth on Appeal tor Caolt.
Washington, March 11. —The follow¬
ing statement to the American people has
been received by the United Press from
Clara Barton, president of the National
Association of the Red Cross:
For many warts part the Hod Cross has
been in receipt of letters of appeal sad state¬
ments In regard to .nfferlng and destitution
existing among the pioneer settlers at North
and South Dakota. These appeals hare
come those to ue through trusted co-worker* bn ench and
who speak by rule as authority
matters. At last they became ao argent ss to
he no longer Ignored. Living here at the na¬
tional capital it wae decided to call upon the
senators and repreaentatlves in congress from
these new born states of our*. As one remit
of the interview! then had Senator L. R.
Casey, of North Dakota, wrote to Governor
John Miller, Informing him of the Inquiries
of tho Bed Cross. Under date of Bismarck,
Feb. 18, Governor Miller wrote thanking the
Bed Cross for the kindly Interest evinced and
stating that he had referred the matter to
Hon. H. T. Helgesen, state commissioner of
agriculture and labor, with instructions to
give all particulars as to tho wants of their
people.
A Statement of Their Wants.
Under date of Grand Forks, Feb. tt, Com¬
missioner H. T. Helgesen wrote in part as fol¬
lows: “The are probably 5,000 to 8,000 people
dependent, and a good many more who have
provisions for themselves, but need feed for
stock. Considerable help has been received
from St. Paul and Minneapolis, also from
Chicago and from several etatm cart and
south, but thus far only enough to temporar¬
ily relieve the needs of the destitute, and mnch
more will have to be solicited from time to
time."
Commissioner Helgesen aooompanlee Ms
letter with a paper which contains an appeal
to tho public, signed by the commlmloners, provis¬ as
follows: “Tho suffering for want of
ions, clothing, fuel and feed for stock in sev¬
eral counties of North Dakota Is unprece¬
dented In the stele and needs some explana¬
tion. The destitution is almost exclusively
confined to the newer portions of the state,
where the settlements date hart only two,
three and four years, except Nelson and Ram¬
sey counties, which hare been settled about
six years. These new settlements were, like
older settlements of most new countries, com¬
posed largely of peopie whose resources would
have been heavily taxed to succeed and keep
themselves above want with favorable Ma¬
sons. “
The Elements Conspired Against Them
The story as told by tiie commissioner it
ttat of all oar new states. Good season* at
first rewarded thorn; every acre was tamed
over for harvest In 1888. All appeared well
until August of that year, whan a severe
truer, a thing before unknown, killed the
ripening grain., It portion* did much the damage In hut
older and better of state, tt
entirely destroyed the newer sections. The
hardy men did not lose their courage, but
hired out to neighbors, thereby earning the
money necessary for the seed and living of
1880. The unprecedented drouth of last rear
was doubtless felt most severely of anywhere
in, the west, in the fields and families of the
newly settled portions of both North and
South Dakota.
Aa Commissioner Helgesen says, a second
entire failure in some sections left many peo¬
ple completely destitute. He adds: While
nearly the entire state suffered from drouth,
only seven or eight counties need much as¬
sistance. In this are. tho counties where the
greatest amount of assistance la needed, via:
Nelson, Ramsay, Benson, Pierce, Bottineau.
Rolette and Towner. Cavalier county will
also need some help, aa will Eddy and Mclu-
tosb, the latter In the southern portion of the
state.
Five Thousand, Dependant People.
“In the counties named there are not loss
than AGIO people dependant, wholly or In
part, on outside people and until they can
raise another crop a still larger number will
need some assistance for stock. Most of them
have hay, but horses and oxen will not be
able to work sufficiently to get in the spring
crops, unless they have grain. The supplies
heretofore received are far from meeting the
demand and provisions are urgently needed.
The counties are well organized and supplies
are distributed through the county commis¬
sioner. The greatest care is taken to prevent
the improper use of these donations. AU
contributions, whether money or provisions,
or clothing, should bi forwarded to the com¬
missioner at Grand Forks, whore the proper
division will be made."
Commissioner Helgesen explains ths con¬
dition of the state by showing that undsr Its
constitution is taking over property and debts
from the former territory It has nearly
reached the legal maximum of debt that may
be Incurred. It is, therefore, unable aa a
state to raise all the money and means neces¬
sary to supply tbs destitute. There ia no
doubt from aU tho evidence that the people
of North Dakota are doing their very
best for tbeir suffering feUow citizens. There
is no doubt that the appeals already made
and pnhTIcl j
sponses from the northwest. But there Is no
room to doubt that very much more is needed.
The Red Cruee association has satisfied it¬
self a. to that. Inquiries by it. general field
agent confirm this appeal Mid Information a.
well eo other statements received. There Is
no need wtitfroa excellent methods adopted
by the state authorities for the pres¬
ence of the Red Cross on this field;
but there is a duty before it and be¬
fore the people of the sister states ss well.
The Red Cross believes that its duty will be
done If by this authoritative statement it
shall be the means of inducing subscriptions
for the suffering people of Dakota large
enough in amonnt to meet all the urgencies
that will arise. There are six months of
short rations, of unclothed human beings, of
seedless fields, with all their attendant pri¬
vations yet before these people.
Cash Contribution* Prefer red.
Judging from poet experiences and observa¬
tions, it would appear to ns wiser to Mod
money that can be used on the ground under
the direction of the state official assigned to
that duty, than to spend It In railroad freight
In purchasing goods or other articles of (ap¬
plies that may be bettor and more properly
obtained with cash in the hands those who
kpow where it Is most wanted. In that way
there will W a doable help secured, as the
people will be thereby aided to help them¬
selves.
The lied Cross therefore sdvlsse that sub¬
scription* be sent direct to H. T. Helgesen,
state commissioner of agricultare and labor,
Grand Forks, N. D. It urges, this because of
the necessity and from a sense of the obliga¬
tion which all America owes te these pioneer
brethren who built new commonwealths Id
the west,
By order of the executive co mmit tee.
