He is delighted with the secreta forceful tact in securing all basic facts bearing on the matter. General Menocal considers his own work at an end and has turned over | Governor Nunez of Havana prov- ince has been telling Secretary Taft his reports to Secretary Taft. Government officials maintain a firm attitude, saying there is no reason to recede from that position. They hold that the present situation is not due 80 much to the strength of the rebels #s to the unpreparedness of the gov- ernment, which is now In a fairly good position. Secretary Taft spent the morning in receiving callers, who are seeking to fnfluence the actions of the mediators. Leaders of Both Sides Heard. that the elections of last year were perfectly constitutional and that there does not exist sufficient reason for cancelling them. He urged strongly that the present government be up- held. Congressman Florencio Vil- luendas, a brother of the member of congress who was killed at Clenfue- gos a year ago, set forth that the kill- ing of his brother was one of the causes of the present trouble and en- deavored to show that the government | FIVE THOUSAND DEAD LATEST ESTIMATE OF LOSS OF LIFE AS RESULT OF HONG- KONG TYPHOON.

ON ALL WESTERN ROADS, Engineers to Present Demands for In- creased Wages. Chicago, Sept. 21.—The Tribune says: A movement in the direction of higher wages, greater in scope than any demand previously made by the operating employes of the railroads, will be initiated in Chicago next week by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers. The engineers aim to em- brace every Western road in the pro- Jected movement and to present de- mands jointly and simultaneously. Heretofore the engineers on each sys- tem have been content to act sep- arately. A plan also is in contemplation and is said to have received the quasi- endorsement of at least two of the great railway brotherhoods to take a stand in which every railway employe In the operating business in the West shall be represented in a request for holds and has been constructed more for regard of the comfort of transat- lantic passengers than for speed. SCOTCH-ENGLISH PLAN. XChIcano Men Intend Organizing Bank on That System. Chicago, Sept. 21.—From the ruins of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank will arise in the near future a new bank which James B. Forgan, who is to be chairman of the board of direc- tors, declares will be “absolutely unique in this country.” It will be modeled on the Canadian-or so-called Scotch-English plan, which eliminates the president of the bank from the role of the “all powerful one” that American tradition and practice make him. In other words, the president of the new bank will be subject at all time to the supervision of the direc- torate’s chairman. He will work un- der a system that will insure conform- ity to the principles of sound banking. His methods of doing business will be scrutinized daily by Chairman Forgan.

In his speech to the convention Mr. Jones replied to Mr. Gompers, declar- ing that he was opposed to American labor constructing the Panama canal, declaring that the isthmus was no place for American labor on account of its fevers and other diseases, which none but the men used to tropical cli- mates can withstand.

His condition was due to advancing years. Heart failure, fol- lowing a long period of increasing physical weakness, finally caused his death. His age was seventy-two years. Improvement Shown at First. For some time after Congressman Hitt’s arrival heré he showed im- provement, but a few weeks ago most serious symptoms were noted. Subse- quent treatment seemed to have little beneficial effect, although the service of a specialist constantly was sought. There was no alarming sudden change and immediate death was not expect- ed. A collapse due to heart weakness came during the morning hours, with fatal result. Robert Roberts Hitt was born at Urbania, O., Jan. 16, 1834, and moved with his parents to Ogle county, I, three years later. He was educated at the Rock River seminary and De- pauw university. Mr. Hitt’s first pub- lic position was as secretary of lega- tion at Paris in 1874. He remained there until 1881, when he became as- sistant secretary of state. He was elected congressman in the same year and has been continuously re-elected. He would have been renominated tor the Sixtieth congress but ill health forced him to decline. He was chair- man of the committee on foreign af- fairs of the Fifty-sixth congress. In 1898 President McKinley appointed him one of the commissioners to es- tablish the government of Hawail. muyor Jones Henomm. 5 Minneapolis, Sept. 21.—The hottest primary fight this city has seen in years ended in the complete triumph of Mayor Jones and the principle of law enforcement for which he stands. The final count gives Jones 17,390 and Williams 16,352. Mayor Jones defeat. ed his adversary by 1,038 votes, less than was expected by his most confi dent support. Grows Fine Strawberries. E, B. Chamberlain, local agent for the Great Northern railway, is exhibiting some strawberries, grown on his farm, that are of fine quality and large size. Mr. Chamberlain owns a forty- acre tract on the east shore of Carr lake, about two miles south of Bemidji. He has made a specialty of raising strawberries during the past two years and has met with phencminal success. He has reserved an entire acre of his land for the planting of the vines and raising of the berries. This year the plants have been very productive, The berries which he is now exhibiting are of a second crop this year, many of which are ripe, and the vines are covered with green fruit. There has been no killing frost on Carr lake, and if no colder weath: er sets in for a few days, Mr. The plants were secured from the L. L. May company of St. Paul, and are of the ‘‘Wartfield” variety. o capable of negotiating miles in 2:10 and less. There is a large field of very speedy race horses here and all are looking forward with much pleasure to the meet to be held in Bemidji September 28-29-3C. All horses here will be shipped to Bemidji Saturday night or Sunday. There has been a very good at- the unfavorable weather. BUSY LOGGING SEASON IS PLANNED BY LOCAL MILL Crookston Lumber Company Establish- ing Camp at Island Lake---One of Many Camps. The Crookston Lumber com- pany is already beginning the preliminary work for a busy season’s logging operations dur- ing the coming winter. -William Betz an employe of the company, left yesterday for Island Lake and will at once be- gin the establishment of a camp one and one-half miles from the village of Island Lake, This camp will cut about six million feet of logs next winter, which will be put into Island lake, driven to the hoist 1n the spring and hauled to Bemidji over the Wilton spur and the Great Nor- thern railway. The Crookston company has a large amount of pine stumpage in the vicinity of Island lake and this camp is only one of several that will be established later near the same place. Cars Hard to Get. eral representative for the Naugle Pole & Tie company of Chicage, states that his company hss about 40,000 poles and ties at Northome which they are getting out at the present time. He is experienciog much difficulty in securing cars for the transporta- tion of the ties. His compaay is compelled to secure foreign cars, as the M. & I. and the N. P. will not furnisn cars for transporta- main line of the N. P. in hauling the grain from the west to the twin cities, and the flats for local tendance at the fair, considering E. D. Beeson, who is the gen-|. at the foot of the two streets. This will necessitate the removal of 8,500 yards of dirt, and will raise the grade all the way from one to five feet and will necessi- tate the raising of the buildings on Bemidji and Minnesota avenues, in many instances, and several on Second and Third streets. 3 When the grading is com- pleted, Bemidji will have ex- cellent - thoroughfares in% the business portion of the city. = Clearwater Election.

Dazey’s, ““The Burgler and the ‘Waif,” which, for six weeks, crowded the Garden Theatre, New York, to its capacity, and consequently there is likely to be an eXciting scramble for seats next Saturday night, Sentember 22, when it is to be presented at the opera house. The play, like most of C. T. Dazey’s contributions, is very much up-to-date. Indeed, the ereat success the play has enjoyed is chief- ly due to the fact that the story in it’s . main feature is almost identical with that of one of the most famous actual life dramas which the courts of justice have had to desl with of la‘'e.
