President Roose- velt's peace representatives ved upon the scene during the day and met personally President Palma and the members of his cabinet, as well as the official representatives of those In arms against the government, and got a rough general idea of the situa- tion from Dboth sides. Incidentally they received from ci ens, American naval officers and others a number of sidelights on the situation. Secretary Taft's informal, straight- forward and Kkindly manner has al- ready created a strong and favorable impression. The business of finding a solution to the diffieulty will be proceeded with directly and persistently to its conclu- sions. Predictions are alveady being made that the Cuban problem will be solved within a week, but on what bas 8till a matter of conjecture. Secre- tary Taft himself reiterates that Pres- ident Roosevelt's representatives are here with no policy except to insure peace in Cuba. A thousand militiamen arrived here from Matanzas during the day and have been quartered in the Cabanas fortress. There are insistent rumors that the uprising in Santiago province has been quelled.

First Act of Messrs, Taft and Bacon on Reaching Havana. Havana, Sept. 20.—The American crulser Des Moines, with Secretary of ‘War Taft and Assistant Secretary of Btate Bacon on board, arrived here at 7:30 a. m. DMess Taft and Bacon received Senor O'Farrill, the Cuban secretary of state, on board. Later Messrs. Taft and Bacon came ashore and proceeded to the palace, where they called on President Palma. Messrs. Taft and Bacon had a long informal and private conference with Benor O'Farrill before going ashore. Secretary Taft said he had arranged tentatively to hold hearings at the home of American Minister Morgan in Marianao, but that no definite arrange- ments would be made until the for- malities were over. Those present at the meeting with President Palma were Messrs. Taft and Bacon, Minister Morgan and Cap- taln Frank R. McCoy, military aide to President Roosevelt. The exchange of Breetings was very cordial. Formali- ties soon gave place to intimate con- versation and the situation was dis- cussed in a very general way. Details ‘were not taken up. President Palma expressed himself particularly appre- clative of President Roosevelt’s atti- tude; that no policy had been formu- lated with regard to the future and that President Roosevelt’s representa- tives were approaching their task free to act wholly in accordance with de- velopments. Upon leaving the palace the party proceeded to the Denver, which lies moored at the foot of a nearby street. Upon boarding the American cruiser Alfredo Zayas and the other members of the Liberal committee, who had been awaiting Messrs. Taft and Ba- con, presented themselves. A brief and pleasant. conversation ensued, but there was nothing beyond exchange of courtesies. Senor Zayas and Secre- tary Taft suggested each to the other that they have a quiet talk together and Senor Zayas offered to see the gecretary at Marianao or anywhere else. NOW ON BOARD THE DENVER. Alfredo Zayas to Represent Insurgents in Negotiations. ‘Washington, Sept. 20.—Commander Colwell of the United States gunboat Denver, now lying in Havana harbor, has cabled the navy department that Alfredo Zayas, the president of the Liberal party and delegate to repre- sent the revolutionists in the negotia- tlons about to begin in Havana before Secretary Taft, has come ahoard the Denver and is awaiting the secretary there.

OTHER MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN SECURE RE. NOMINATIONS. St. Paul, Sept. 20.—With possibly one exception, that of Buckman in the Sixth district, all the Republican members of congress from this state, who were candidates for renomina- tlon, were successful at the primaries. The latest returns from the Sixth dis- trict indicate that A. Lindbergh has defeated Congressman Buckman after a most bitter campaign. Tawney of the First, Davis of the Third, Volstead of the Seventh and Steenerson of the Ninth were chosen without opposition. In the Second McCleary won out by a larger major- ity than two years ago, despite a hot fight against him. In the Fourth Ste- vens defeated Rogers by more than 6,000 votes and in the Fifth Frank M. Nye secured the nomination in a four- cornered contest. J. Adam Bede was an easy winner in the Righth, carrying practically every county in the dis- trict. The Sixth district was the only dis- trict where there was any Democratic contest for nomination and here M. C. Tifft of Long Prairic won easily over C.-D. Auyer of Little Falls. For mayor of Minneapolis Jones, the present incumbent, and Dr. U. G. Willlams are running neck and neck for the Republican nomination, the outcome being in doubt. James C. Haynes is the Democratic nominee. DEVOTE TIME TO STUDENTS. Episcopals to Have Missionary at Wisconsin University. Milwaukee, Sept. 20.—Religion at the state university was severely scored at the sixtieth annual conven- tion of the Milwaukee Episcopal dio- cese. Canon St. George of Nashotah declared that the spirit that prevailed in the university was a “mere relig- ious veneer;” that students had noth- ing to encourage them to keep up with the church; that “the tempta- tions and difficulties that confronted the students of the state institution ‘were such as required the most heroic Christian principles to stand up against them.” He was followed in an equally vigorous speech by the Rev. H. D. Robinson of Racine college. Following a spirited discussion a substantial nucleus to a fund was raised to be used for the salary of a priest whose duties shall be to devote his entire time and energies to the spiritual welfare of the students of the university.

WILL WORK FOR SUCCESS OF TICKET DECLARES HE DOES NOT CHER- ISH ANY BAD FEELING OVER THE OUTCOME, New York, Sept. 20.—Former Gov- ernor Odell, chairman of the state committee, declares that he does not cherish any animosity because of the primaries. “As Shakespeare says,” said Mr. Odell, “‘Sweet are the uses of adver- sity.” I am licked and I admit it. I also admit the extent of the defeat. Now that the battle is over it is my desire that the hatchet be buried. “I am not the first man to be beaten in politics and I won't be the last. Please don't take that latter state- ment as a threat. Just now I am full of the milk of human kindness.” “Are you still in favor of the nom- ination of Mr. Hughes?” he was asked. “I have nothing to say about that,” he replied. A responsible majority will be in control of the convention and will select a good man, I am cer- tain, “What we Republicans of the state of New York want to do now is to get together, join hands and work for the success of the ticket. We have a battle ahead of us and our duty to the party commands us to go into the bat- tle with a solid front.” NEW YORK CITY PRIMARIES. Odell Loses Contest and Murphy Nar- rowly Escapes Same Fate. New York, Sept. 20.—As a result of the Republican primaries in New York county Herbert E. Parsons, president of the county Republican committee, defeated the forces headed by former Governor Odell and Lemuel E. Quigs. Parsons carried twenty-two of the thirty-five districts. The defeat of Odell in New York county may take from him the control of the state com- mittee, of which he is chairman. According to the returns from the Democratic primaries Charles F. Mur- phy will be in control of twenty-four votes in the executive committee of Tammany Hall, representing twenty districts, and will control 80 of the 105 delegates to the Democratic state con- vention. These sixty votes will enable the leader of Tammany, if he so desires, to apply the unit rule and cast the vote of Tammany Hall solidly for the candidate determined upon by a major- ity of the delegates. Up to the pres- ent time Mr. Murphy has made no statement as to his intentions in this respect, but during the primary cam- paign it was generally understood that Mr, Murphy was friendly to Hearst. BY OVERWHELMING VOTE. Voliva Elected Leader by People. of Zion City. Chicago, Sept. 20.—Wilbur Glenn Voliva has been elected by the people of Zion City as their leader by the overwhelming vote of 1,911 to 6 for his opponent, A. E. Bills. The elec- tion was held under the order of Judge Landis of the United States district court, who was asked some time ago to settle the controversy be- tween John Alexander Dowie, founder of the church, and Voliva, as to who should have control of Zion City. ‘The action of the Zionists practically makes John Alexander Dowie an out- cast from the religious organization which he established several years ago and which now has grown to large | proportions. Dowie, who is in feeble health, refused to recognize the au- thority of the court in ordering the election and did not present himself as a candidate. Out of the total vote of 1,917 cast about half of them were by the women of Zion City, who went to the polls singing hymns, cast their votes and then knelt in prayer at the door of the voting booth, ENJOINED FROM SCALPING. Decision Affecting Brokers Controlling Most of the Busine: Chicago, Sept. 20.—Members of four ticket brokers’ associations, control- ling the greater part of that business throughout the United States, are, by a decision made by Judge Kohlsaat in the federal court, perpetually enjoined from “scalping” tickets on the Penn- sylvania system and varlous other fransportation companies, some of which are named in the complaint. The case originated In St. Louis dur- ing the recent exposition in that city. The first hearing was before a master in chancery, who reported in favor of the rallroad. Objections were filed to the report of the master and these were overruled by Judge Kohlsaat.

ONLY THREE KNOWN DEAD AS RESULT OF RECENT ROCK | ISLAND WRECK, Dover, Okla, Sept. 20.—Twenty persons who were known to have oc- cupled the smoker on the northbound Rock Island traln that went into the Cimarron river near here Tuesday morning are unaccounted for. Efforts are being made to locate the smoker, which is at a point 110 yards below the site of the bridge. A strong eddy 18 believed to mark the spot where the smoker sank. The water has fallen five feet from the high mark, but neither the engine, baggage car nor the smoker can be seen. The known dead number three and two of the sixteen injured may die. Searchers with torches worked all night to rescue any possible victims that might still be in the submerged cars and for a distance of twenty miles down the stream parties were on the lookout for victims. It was known that several of those who es- caped frem the wreckage had drifted down with the swift current, some of them having been as far as fifteen miles distant from Dover. From one point bodies were reported as floating by, but this was not verified, During the night the river fell almost as rap- idly as it had risen and the work of removing the submerged cars from the stream has begun. NINE . BALLOTS 'NECESSARY. New Hampshire Republicans Name Candidate for Governor. Concord, N. H., Sept. 20.—Charles M. Floyd of Manchester was nom- inated for governor at the close of the hardest contest ever waged in a Re- publican convention in New Hamp- shire. Nine ballots were necessary before the choice was made and three of these ballots were made void by more votes being cast than there were delegates entitled to seats. Winston Churchill of Cornish, the novelist and leader of the recently organized Lin- coln Republican club of New Hamp- shire, was Floyd’s closest competitor in the final vote and he retained that position after making a terrific fight from the moment the convention opened until the count showed him to be defeated.

St. Petersburg, Sept.” 20.—General Dmitri Trepoff, who died last Satur- day, was buried during the day at Pe- terhof. Contrary to expectations the emperor was not present at the fu- neral. His majesty is still cruising in Finnish waters on board the imperial yacht Standart. The fact that the emperor did not abandon his pleasure cruise to return and attend the funeral of a devoted subject, although his return was scheduled for Tuesday, has aroused much unfavorable comment. It is re- called that his majesty absented him- self from the funeral of General Kon- dratchenko, who lost his life at Port Arthur, A high police officer explained to tte Assoclated Press that the emperor’s absence was due to Premier Stolyr:a, Who had been informed thnt &2 at- tempt micht be madd azalnst his majesty and telegraphed hlm not to return.

SEVERAL THOUSAND NATIVE WA- TER DWELLERS PERISHED IN HONGKONG TYPHOON, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY IS. IMMENSE HARBOR STREWN WITH WRECK- AGE, WHARVES RUINED AND HOUSES COLLAPSED. Hongkong, Sept. 20.—The typhoon which swept this port Tuesday de- stroying a great number of vessels and causing much loss of life was of a ‘ocal nature. “Most of the damage was wrought on the Kowloon penin- sula. The losses are estimated at several million dollars. Over 1,000 sampans and junks are missing from Hongkong alone. Wharves were swept away and houses collapsed. The mili- tary barracks are in ruins. The harbor ¥s strewn with wreck- age thrown upon the shore. Hundreds of Chinese boatmen and their fam- ilies were saved by the bravery of the police and civilians, but several thou- sand of the Chinese water dwellers must have perished, many within short distances of the shore. The losses in lives and property among the Chinese were appalling. The police stations in Hongkong are surrounded by Chinese identifying their dead. The families of the Hong- kong boatmen live night and day on the sampans and thousands of these people are now homeless. The Chinese take the disaster calm- 1y and show no manifestations of grief. One launch that was capsized had 130 Chinese on board. They were all drowned. The bishop of Victoria, Dr. J. C. Hoare, was on his way to visit some neighboring islands when the storm broke and is reported missing. His launch has been found floating bottom upwards. THREE OF CREW DROWNED. Steel Steamer Laura Badly Damaged in Severe Storm, Norfolk, Va., Sept. 20.—The Britisa tramp steamer Laura, bound from Port Arthur, Tex., for European ports, has arrived at the Virginia capes after having encountered the terrific storm which swept the Hatteras coast last Monday morning and during which the ship’s commander, Captain Charles T. Adams, and two seamen were swept into the ocean and lost. The Laura, with her cargo shifted and badly listed to port, came into the Virginia capes with her charthouse gone, all save one of her lifeboats missing, her bridge torn to pieces, the steel sides of her house bent and her superstructure a practical wreck. The ship showed signs of having been worse handled by the wind and sea than any steel ship that ever before entered this port after a storm at sea. SERIOUS AT VALPARAISO. Relief Contributions Are Small and Misery Increases. New York, Sept. 20.—The Chile. re- lef committee has received the fol- lowing cable dispatch from the foreign relief committee at Valparaiso: “Gratefully acknowledge cable re- mittances. Funds vanishing, while misery increases. Do your best to stimulate subscriptions.” This message confirms previous ad- vices as to the seriousness of the sit- uation ereated by the recent earth- quake and fire in Valparaiso. ‘Washington, Sept. 20.—The National Red Cross society has cabled $4,000 to Chile to aid the sufferers from the earthquake at Valparaiso and neigh- boring cities, which makes a total of $6,000 cabled to date. FOUR VILLAGES DESTROYED. Inhabitants. Massacred by Armenians.

Chicago, Sept. 20.—A blanket in- erease of $5 a ton in the price of wrap- ping and other grades of wood fiber papers, with a corresponding advance In other classes, has raised the fear among Chicago dealers that a new trust is forming. This fear is aug- mented by the fact that the motices abolishing former schedules were withdrawn by all the mills simultane- ously and the prices listed thus far have been identical. ‘While it is believed a new combina- tion of paper manufacturers has been or is being formed it is not thought it will be so complete as that effected under the General Paper company. This concern, which was known as the trust, went out of business last May as the result of an injunction suit brought at St. Paul by the federal gov- ernment. The company refused 'o show -its books and when ordered to do so by the court agreed to atcept judgment and go out of business. The theory of the Chicago paper broker is that this error will not be made a second time and that no one firm will be allowed to handle the out- put of all the mills in the combine. It is pointed out that practically the same result can be obtained by an assoclation if the members adhere to the agreement. WHILE ON PRACTICE SPIN. Competitor in Vanderbilt Cup Race Seriously Injured. | New York, Sept. 20.—George Rob- ertson and his mechanician, Arthur Warren, were seriously injured in an automobile accident near Mineola, L. L, while on a practice spin in prepara- tion for the Vanderbilt cup race.

SHELDON JACKSON. deer Experiment In Alaska d’ His Commection With It. The Rev. Dr. Sheldon 8. Jackson of Alaska, against whom charges were flled by Frank C. Churchill, a special agent of the interior department, is a noted Presbyterian missionary. He has issued a statement vigorously de- nying that any fault could justly be found with his conduct in connection with the matters dealt with in the agent’s report, the use of reindeer in the work of the missionary school service in Alaska. Some years ago the government inaugurated the plan of bringing reindeer from Lapland and employing Eskimo in using them for transportation purposes in Alaska. Dr. Jackson assisted in this work dnd Journeyed across the Siberian wastes Th REV. DR. SHELDON 8. JACKSON. and brought back with him the nucleus of a reindeer herd. There were once large droves of relndeer in Alaska, but they were long ago practically exterminated. Walrus, whale and seal were depended upon by the natives for food supplies, clothing and fuel, but they are growing Scarce owing to the activity of their hunters. It became a question whether the government should feed the na- tives outright and thus pauperize them or introduce a new industry and teach them to become self supporting. With the latter idea the reindeer plan was tried, the system being to lease the animals to the natives, they returning to the government at the end of g specific time a number equal to those leased, retaining the increase. Dr. Jackson In his reply to Special Agent Churchill says: “It was charged that, while the government has spent about §$250,000 for reindeer and the Alaskan herd numbers 10,234, there are only 2,500 in the possession of the gov- ernment. The inference Is that I or some one else must have unlawfully disposed of nearly 8,000 of the 10,000 reindeer in Alaska. The fact is that 8,817 had been earned by the native Eskimos who had served a five years’ apprenticeship in the care and manage- ment of reindeer; 2,127 had been earn- ed by the mission stations—mainly un- der contract with the government— who, in return for the loan of 100 deer had clothed, fed and cared for native apprentices during their five years’ ap- prenticeship and then had returned to the government the original number of deer loaned them, retaining the fawns for future work in training Eskimo ap- prentices; 1,187 had been earned by the Laplander teachers, who also had re- celved small loans from the govern- ment, which, after five years they re- turned to the government, retaining the fawns born for themselves.” CHAMPION DANIELS.
