% APPEAL PRdMINENT NEGROES URGE REIN- STATEMENT OF DISCHARGED COLORED SOLDIERS. EXECUTIVE MAKES NO PROMISES REITERATES HIS WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN TO ANY NEW FACTS PRESENTED. ‘Washington, Nov. 28.—The case of the soldiers of three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who were discharged without honor because of the trouble at Brownsvllle, Tex., came before President Roosevelt during the day when Charles W. Anderson, col- lector of internal revenue at New York, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Booker T. Washington, called upon him in behalf of the discharged men. They made an earnest argument in behalf of the claims of the innocent PRESIDENT Mo wanwer ron erosuers. =S Director of Education Discusses Phile Ippine Conditions. San Francisco, Nov. 28—Dr. D. P. Barrows, director of education of the Philippines, was a passenger on the stewmer Siberia, just arrived from the Orlent. In speaking of the condition of the islands Barrows said: “The islands are in a good condi- tion, generally speaking. The polit- fcal situation there at the present time is the best it has ever been. The provincial government is in good hands. There are about forty native governors for as many different prov- inces. They are serious and intelli- gent men and at the recent conference held in Manila they showed them- selves to understand the situation in the islands and to fully appreciate the attitude of the United States. While all these governors but one are native they all speak and understand Eng- lish. “From an economic standpoint, how- ever, the islands are not in what 1 would call a good condition. This is occasioned by the fact that there is no market for their sugar and tobacco. These, of course, are their principal staples. They, however, have a good market for copra and abaca and from these gain their main revenue.” PACKERS COMPLY WITH LAW. Government Official Completes Tour of men of the companies, Who want to be reinstated. They had no particular programme of action to present to the president and the latter gave no indl- cation of what his future course might be except to reiterate his statement that he would consider any new facts which might be presented. OBJECTED TO NEGRO TROOPS. Said Whites Conspired to Make Case Against Colored Soldiers. El Reno, Okla., Nov. 28.—Gilchrist Stewart (colored), who has been at Fort Reno the past few days securing data to be placed as evidence before President Roosevelt in the matter of the discharge of the negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, said: “The substance of my investigation, supported by over 100 affidavits from the members and non-commissioned officers of the companies and from the statement of the officers of the com- panies amounts to this: “‘First—That the citizens did not want negro soldiers in Brownsville, Tex. * ‘Second—That this feeling became so intense that on the very night in question Major Penrose:issued an or- der and sent out patrols through the town that all men should be in by 8 o'clock whether on' pass or not and Captain Mackin, officer of the day, re- ported that all men were in except three on pass. “‘Third—That the firing that night was of mixed arms.’ “All the Inspectors sent out from the war department have started out with the assumption that there was a consplracy among the men to keep back the truth and shoot up the town. They have never made any investiga- tion into the real facts. From the in- vestigation there was undoubtedly a conspiracy to make a case against the soldiers and get them out of the town. Six sergeants of long service, and in whom the commissioned offi- cers have, implicit confidence, are go- ing to Washington with me to act as witnesses before President Roose- velt.” SPECIAL MESSAGE ON CANAL. Document Will Be Sent to Congress About Dec. 10. Washington, Nov. 28.— President Roosevelt, bronzed and invigorated in health from his long sea trip to Pan- ama and Porto Rico, was in his office early. The preslden!s special message on the Panama canal, it is now expect- ed, will be sent to congress probably about a week after it convenes on Monday. It will deal with every phase of the question and give a graphic und detailed description of conditions on the Isthmus as the pres- ident found them. There will be rec- ommendations for'the betterment of conditions which suggested them- selves during his visit. CARS RUN WITHOUT DISORDER. Trouble at Hamilton, Ont, May Be Arbitrated. Hamilton, Ont, Nov. 28.—Street cars have been running all morning and there has been no disturbance. The strikers will meet shortly to con- sider the proposal to submit the whole matter to arbitration. Fred Fay, an American, who is con- ducting the strike for the men, is still in the city. No further proceed- ings have been taken against him, but he has been advised that he has com- Titted no offense against the laws of the country. The authorities now deny having ordered Mr. Fay to leave the city and they say they merely ad- vised Lim to leave, GIrl Killed Mother and Herself. Upper Sandusky, O., Nov. 28.—Cor- oner Stutz has rendered a verdict that the death of Mrs. Henry Harman and her daughter Mary was a case of mur- der and suicide.

Washington, Nov. 28.—Nearly the entire time of the session of the cab- inet, which lasted from 11 until 1:30, was devoted to listening to the pres- ident’s story of his trip to the isthmus of Panama and the conditions existing there, terms. Inspection. Washington, Nov. 28.—Alonzo D. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry, under whose office the ad- ministration of the meat inspection law enacted at the last session of con- gress is carried out, has returned from a Western tour of 'inspection which included a visit to packing- houses in Chicago, Milwaukee, Denver and Kansas City. He says everywhere there is apparent beneficial effects of execution of the law and a manifest desire on the part of packers to com- ply Wwith its provisions. HILL GETS SOUTHERN ROAD NEW PRESIDENT CHOSEN FOR THE MISSOURI, KANSAS AND TEXAS. New York, Nov. 28.—The election of Adrian H. Joline as president of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas company to succeed F. M. Finney, resigned, is generally regarded as a.step toward the turning over of the old Rockefel- ler property to James J. Hill and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail- road. Following Mr. Joline’s election James N. Wallace and J. G. Metcalf were elected directors and members of the executive committee. Mr. Joline is not closely identified with Mr. Hill or his properties, but both he and Mr. Wallace represent the Central Trust company interests, which have been very strongly identi- fied with Missouri, Kansas and Texas interests since the Speyers became in- terested in the road. J. G. Metcalf represents the Speyer interests on the board. It is believed that the officers have been merely elected to conduct the road's financial affairs until the new control, whatever it may be, as- serts itself. The recent activity and strength of both the common and preferred stocks of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in the market have been accompanied by a revival of the old rumors that con- trol of the property is being sought or has already been acquired in the in- terests of the Hill railroads. “BIG - STICK” FOR ROOSEVELT. Ohio _Admirer Sends Real Article to President. Pittsburg, Nov. 28.—A “big stick” provided by nature is on.the way to the president, according to the Post. In a special dispatch from Marion, O., it is announced that Congressman Grant E. Mouser of that city has re- ceived a large gourd from one of his constituents with a note requesting that it be delivered to President Roosevelt. The gourd is about four feet long and is said to resemble the published pictures of the “big stick.” Attached to the gourd was the follow- ing message: “Mr. Roosevelt—Please accept this ‘big stick’ and send to congress at- tached to your next message and tell them to be good. It was apparently. designed by Providence for your offi- cial use.” VALUABLE CARGO SPOILED. Furs Brought Down by Peary’s Vessel Thrown Overboard. Sydney, C.

MONSTER MEETING MAKES PROTEST WILL OF THE PEOPLE VETOED BY THE UPPER HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. London, Nov. 28.—The intensity of. the political feeling aroused by the house of lords’ treatment of the edu- cation bill found expression in an emergency meeting of the general committee of the National Liberal fed- eration, at which a resolution was unanimeusly adopted urging the gov- ernment to take the drastic step of totally rejecting the lords’ amend- ments to the bill and to “resolutely determine that the present parliament shall not come to an end until steps are taken to bring to a final arbitra- ment the question whether the house of peers should any longer possess the right of veto on the will of the people as declared by the house of commons.” The meeting was the largest and most representative of its kind which had assembled during the last twenty years. The speakers warmly denounced the action of the: peers, declaring that the house of commons should not waste another day in considering the amendments to the bill, which should be returned to the house of lords with- out debate, and that the Liberal gov- ernment ought to apply the only rem- edy, which must ba drastic and final.

D.; Nov. 28.—A gen- uine sensation was created by the ar- rest of two sisters, Nellle Lage, aged twenty-one, and Emma Lage, aged nineteen, on a charge of having mur- dered a baby born to the latter.

Auburn, N. Y, Nov. 28.—After over & mouth’s investigation by physicians and chemists it has been determined that the pecullar sickness in the fam- ily of Willlam F. Walt is due to arsen- ical poisoning, Mr. Wait 1s still very il at the city hospital and his son Bryan, who recently graduated at Yale, is also partially paralyzed. He had lost the use of his hands and legs and physicians say he may not recover in vears. Harvey Clements of Glovers- ville, a son-n-law, who recently spent a few days in the Wait house hold, was stricken with the malady and was ill for some time. Mrs. Walt also was desperately ill for several days. The servants in the household and the coachman were among the vic- tims of the disease. All symptoms pointed conclusively to arsenical pol- soning and as a last resort detectives and the local police were called into the case, but the greatest secrecy was preserved. Analysis of sugar, flour, tea and other foodstuffs remaining in the Wait house showed the presence of arsenic in sufiicient quantities to produce death; indeed, it is supposed the victims were given overdoses, for horrible nausea followed meals and this may have averted speedy death. Investigation is still progressing, but there is absolutely not the slightest proof to indicate the author of the crime. Mr. Wait is a member of the 4arpet manufacturing firm of Nye & Wait and the family is among the most respected in the city. Pulling Tooth Causes Death.

Penalty for Accepting Rebates From New York Central. New York, Nov. 28.—A fine of $18,- 000 has been imposed upon the Amer- ican Sugar Refining company by Judge Holt in the United States 'circuit court for accepting rebates from the New York Central Railroad company. The company was allowed sixty days to.prepare to appeal the case. The rebates amounted to $26,000. Prior to imposition of the sentence T. K. Mcllvaine, the defendant’s coun- sel, made.a lengthy argument in sup- port of his motion for an arrest of judgment. He contended that the contract made with®the New York Central by Lowell M. Palmer, through ‘which the rebates were graanted, could not be held to be binding criminally upon the defendant. Judge Holt, in the course of the discussion, observed that in his opinion Mr. Palmer could, under the interstate commerce act, as superceded by the Elkins act, have been indicted, tried and convicted for soliciting the rebates. Under the for- mer enactment he would, upon convic- tion, have been imprisoned, said Judge Holt, while under the Elkins act a fine only could -be imposed. BODY OF INFANT AS EVIDENCE.

From there he returned a week ago last Monday. “Billie” Carlisle was one of the oldest firemen (in pointof service) ard one of the most popular in the department, joined 'the department seven years ago, when it was first organized, as engineer, and had been employed in that capacity since, up to the time he was forced to quit. His duties also included care of the city hall. “Billie” was in his forty sixth year,and he came to Bemidji eight years ago, so that he was one of the pioneers of this city and country. He .was born in Illinois. He is survived bya widow and four small children; three brothers, A. H, George, and Edward, all living in Brain- erd; and four sisters, Mrs. Slavghter of Brainerd, Mrs. Loomis of Denver, Col., Mrs. Utterback and Mrs. Whitsel, both living in Indiana. Besides being a number of the local fire drpartment, the de- ceased was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, 1o which order he carried $3,000. The funeral will be held Fri- day at 2 o’clock and will be from the city hall. Rev. Thomas Broowtield, pastor of the Baptist church, wiil have charge of the services. He A Faroe Reformer. The people of the Faroe islands cling to their old customs and see little good in change, says the author of “The Faroes and Iceland,” but now and then one of them becomes a conservative re- former. Such was an old man of Stromo who, in his youth, had learned cabinetmaking In Copenhagen, then had been a blacksmith in New South Wales and later a marine in the Dan- ish navy during the Sleswick-Holsteln war. Having thus traveled far beyond the wildest dreams of his countrymen, he returned while still a comparatively young man to Stromo and invested his savings in a home. Conservative though he appeared to outlanders, to the islanders he was a reckless in- novator. He roofed his house with slate instead of with the tradiional turf, but could find none to follow his example. They shook their heads In doubt. He argued vainly with them against the habit of throwing fish cleanings into the brook and getting drinking water lower down. The only advice they would accept from him— and that after long hesitation—was to bolil their fish oil outdoors instead of in the living room. But when this ter- rible mnovator heard from a visitor that women rode bicycles in England he was so astonished' that he asserted confidently that the world could not last much longer. Cause and Eftect. Shakespeare saw life in .large and wrote as he saw. He never “blamed it on to God.” His pages are full of the inexorable sequence of cause and ef- fect, and the swift march of deeds points the moral of individual responsi- bility. If things were “rotten in Den- mark,” it was because the fathers had eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth were set on edge; if Macbeth trembled at the knocking at the gate, it ‘was because conscience doth make cowards of us all. The ghosts that thaunted Bosworth fleld were of Rich- ard’s own creating, and Regan and ‘Gonerll, desperately dead, reap but their inevitable due. In short, Shake- speare’s message is the message of a robust manhood and womanhood: . Brace up, pay for what you have, do 4.50; Texans, $2.756@4.60; " Westerns, $3.90@6.00; calves, $56.26@7.00.
