The Bemidji Daily Pion VOLUME 4. NUMBER 59. BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1906 ee MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. TEN CENTS PER WEEK ALARMED AT SITUATION RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MAY DIS- ! PLACE MINISTRY IN REPLY TO PUBLIC DEMAND. REVOLUTIONIST ELEMENT JUBILANT ! GREATLY PLEASED AT THE PROG- | RESS MADE BY THE MILI- TARY PROPAGANDA. St. Petersburg, June 27.—The gov- ernment, taking advantage of the ef- fect produced by the frankness and sincerity of Interfor Minister Stoly- pin’s declarations in the lower house of parliament, has taken prompt steps to prevent further anti-Semitic ex- cesses. But this effect is waning and the impossibility of the present situa- tion is daily coming more to the fore. The sentiment in favor of a change in the ministry is not only shared by the lower and upper houses of parliament and voiced by the entire press, but is supported by a strong faction at court, with which, the Associated Press is informed, General Trepoff, the former head of the police, is allied. Trepoff, who is probably the best informed man on popular sentiment, has been opposed by all the instincts of his lifetime to Premier Goremykin’s pol- fey of drift, but it is reported that the | general has found the temper of the army and peasantry to be such that he recognizes that it would be better to bow to the storm than to adopt the dangerous last resort of repression under a dictatorship. Military Troubles Numerous. The revolutionists are jubilant at the progress made by the miljtary | propagaiida. THe conservative Novoe Vremya devotes a leading editorial to the subject and the radical organs print columns of accounts of military troubles, some of which undoubtedly were invented for suggestive effect, but the majority are based on fact. Agrarian disorders at Kharkoft, Pol- tava and Tamboff have led to confiicts with the troops. Four peasants were killed near Poltava and many were|. ‘wounded, including an officer and sol- dier, in a fight between dragoons and plunderers, armed with scythes, on the estate of Princess Yusopova, near Kharkoff. The estate of Prince Vol- konsky, a membe: of the lower house of parllament, at Morshansk, has been plundered and his residence burned. A general feeling of terror prevails among the petty administrative offi- cials in various parts of the country, many of whom have resigned to save their lives. A deputation of idle workmen in- vaded a sesslon of the city council here, demanding relief. The session was suspended and troops were sum- moned before the men would depart. The bakers’ strike continues and the railroad and market porters have struck. "IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Foreign Secretary Replies to Ques- tions on Russian Situation. London, /June 27.—Foreign Secre- tary Grey; replying to a question of Charles P. Tmevelyan, Liberal, and to other interpellations in the house of commons suggesting the cancellation of the proposed visit of the British channel fleet to Russia on account of the antl-Semite outbreaks in that country, announced that he had noth- ing to add to what he had previously stated on the same subject. “It seems te me,” said the foreign secretary, “that it is quite qut of the auestion that the visit et the fleet, which was arranged for some time ago, should be regerded as having any reference whatever to the internal affairg ot Russia or as having any in- fluence on them. Such visits during the summer cruise of the fleet have always been regarded as simple acts of courtesy.” IMPORTANT ~ DOINGS | IN IMPORTANT STOCKS Gent’s Furnishings.

SENATE VOTES NOT TO ACCEPT REPORT ON THE RAILROAD RATE BILL. ‘Washington, June 27.—The senate has voted not to accept the conference report on the railroad rate bill and Senators Tillman, Elkins and Cullom ‘were reappointed to conduct a further conference. ‘When the conference report on the railroad rate bill was taken up Mr. Elkins (W. Va.), who was one of the senate conferees, spoke on the amend- ment to the commodity provision us- ing the word “railroads” instead of the phrase “common carriers.” He gave immediate attention to the con- tention that the change has the effect of eliminating pipe lines from the re- quirement of the bill. He said that ‘West Virginia is the largest oil pro- ducer in the Union and that the great- er part of the oil is sold to the pipe line owners so that the owners trans- port their own oil and are not strictly speaking common carriers, Senator Clapp (Minn.) could not ac- cept the theory that the proposed legislation would injure the independ- ent oil companies, nor did he believe that the protests were uninfluenced by the Standard company. In support of this statement he read a letter from George F. Getty of Bartlesville, I. T., president of the Minnehoma Oil company, in which the writer said he had been called into the local office of the Standard company and asked to forward telegrams of protest to sen- ators and congressmen, the Standard agent supplying the form and volun- teering to pay the cost of transmis- sion. He announced his opposition both to the commodity and the pass compromise. EMBEZZLEMENT IS cHAnGED.. Fifty Thousand Dollars Missing From’} Wisconsin Bank, Poynette, Wis., June 27.—Discrep- ancies covering a period of several years and amounting to at least $50,- 000 are said to have been revealed a3 a result of the arrest of Fred C. Price, until recently a clerk in the Bank of Poynette, on a charge of em- bezzlement. Most of the discrepancy is said to have been adjusted by Price and his relatives. Price is said to have invested $20.- 000 in a fapme in Minnesota and to have had a $10,000 interest in a hard- ware store in Poynette. He owned a residence in Poynette. He had also paid off a mortgage of $3,000 on_his -father’s..farm, which was worth $10,- 000, and has loaned large amounts of |" money in his own name. Price was arrested at the instance of H. T. Lamont, a customer of the bank, and iscout cn bail awaiting trial. OVERSTUDY KILLS JAP. Student at Evanston Dies Five Days After Graduation. Chicago, June 27.—Five days after receiving the degree of master of arts from Northwestern university Rikinosuki Hojo, a Japanese student at that institution, is dead. His death was the result of overwork during his five years' attendance at Northwest- ern. He was twentyfive years.old and a member of a distinguished Jap- anese family. He was in the front rank in his classes at Northwestern. PUTS BAN ON “MASHING.” Mankato (Minn.) Judge Sends Offend- ers to Workhouse. Mankato, Minn., June 27.—There is & ban on “mashing” in Mankato. Young men who are caught speaking to the young women whom they have not been presented to must serve terms in the county jail without a chance to pay a fine. This is the precedent established by Judge Com- stock. Henry Mallen presumed to bump up against two young women who ‘were strangers to him Saturday night and he got ten days straight. Recently two mashers who were older got ninety days. The authori- tles announce that a better street eti- quette must prevail. IMMIGRATION BILL CHANGED. Chief Features Eliminated Before Ac- . tion by House. ‘Washington, June 27.—Under a rule limiting debate on all but two sections the immigration bill was discussed for three hours in the house and passed without a yea and nay vote being per- mitted on any of the paragraphs. This bill attracted much attention, the representatives having large for- eign colonies in their districts lining up generally against the head tax of $5, which was defeated, and against the educational test. After a very interesting contest a substitute for the educational test, providing that the whole matter be submitted to a commission, was adopted by a close vote. Taptain Wynne Convicted. ‘Washington, June 27.—The court- martial which recently tried Captain R. F. Wynne, United States marine corps, on charges of insubordination, has found him gullty and recom- mended his dismissal from the serv- Ice. The case is now in the hands of the president for action. Success is like a generous wine which ‘begins by exciting the intellectual fac- ulties and ends by plunging us Into' a stupid intoxication.—Bougeart. 4 you do it?” ! (CEMEN REMAIN IN JAIL Thaw Says Nothing =s to Motive for Murder of White. - New York, June 27.—Perfectly cal Harry Kendall Thaw, the young Pitts burg millionaire, who shot and killed Stanford White, a prominent archi- teot, faced a coroner and a number of police officials early in the day, abso- lutely refusing to make any extended statement as to the motive which led MEMBERS OF TOLEDO (0.) COM- BINE UNABLE TO SECURE THEIR RELEASE. Toledo, O., June 27.—The managers of the five ice companies sentenced to pay a fine of $5,000 each and to serve one year in the workhouse are locked up in the county jail. Papers commit- ting them to the workhouse are not ready and the attorneys of the sen- tenced men will hold a conference to determine on a plan of action against the imprisonment sentence. The men are not locked in cells but are con- fined in that part of the jail occupied by the ‘sheriff. Their meals are sent in to them and they are not permitted to leave the building. The fact that all but one pleaded guilty makes it impossible for the managers to secure their release on bond or on an appeal. The price of ice, which was increased 75 to 100 per cent by the combine, has dropped from 30 to 40 per cent. i Late in_the afternoon the ice com- panies’ managers and their attorneys had failed - to devise any plan by “’! which the.convicted men could escape | sentence and they .are still in jail |awamng the papers committing them to the workhouse.

Against the resolution were Sen- dtors Millard, Hopkins, Ankeny, Dry- den, Platt and Knox. The two latter were not present, but they left prox- ies. By agreement no testimony will be taken in Washington until next session and therefore the disposition of William Nelson Cromwell’s refusal to testify concerning canal matters prior to government ownership of the property will be postponed until next December. The action of the commit- tee carries with it an adjournment until next December, which will post- pone action on the nominations of canal commissioners. It is expected the commissioners will be reappointed during the recess of congress. ON THE ISLAND OF CEBU. Last of the Pulajane Leaders Surren- der to Authorities. Manila, June 27.—The Pulajane leaders Quientin and Adva have sur- rendered to Governor Osmena and the constabulary., These were the last of the men arrayed against the Amer- icans on’ the island of Cebu.

He asks that her suit be dismissed. Laws Held to Be lllegal. Columbus, O., June 27.—The Ohio supreme court has handed down de- cisions knocking out the laws under which the tax inquisitors have been appointed in the various counties in Ohio. SENATE REMAINS FIRM REFUSES TO PUT COST OF MEAT INSPECTION ON NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. CONFEREES SEEM UNABLE TO AGREE MEASURE MAY BE RETURNED TO HOUSE AND SENATE FOR INSTRUCTIONS. ‘Washington, June 27.—The confer- ‘ence on the agricultural appropriation bill during the day developed that the differences getween the house and the senate in regard to the meat inspec- tion amendment probably will be sent back to the two houses for further action or for instructions to the con- ferees. The senate conferees refused absolutely to consider the provision making an appropriation for the gov- ernment to pay the cost of inspection and insisted upon the retention of the provision in the Beveridge bill requir- ing that the date of inspection be placed upon cans of meat. Hot Soda Baths. Hot soda baths are recommended £y some persons for rheumatism, and the way they are taken is this: Fill the tub half full of water as hot as can be borne, add half a pound of common baking soda and immerse the body for at least twenty minutes, keeping up the temperature by the addition of hot water from time to time. Vaseline or cold cream should be rubbed into the skin after the latter has been dried i order to replace the natural nil. Of course you are going to the circus!
