Ete., RUMOR SAYS ““B0B” AND <*JAKE" HAVE BURIED AX According to Reporl; Dunn _Favors Jagobson for Republican Nomina-- tion for Governor. Of late the Pioneer has received copies of the “Minnesota Mascot,” a weekly paper p\\xblished at Minne- ota, Lyon'county, on the front page of which is emblazoned the rugged *Jake” “Jacob- son of Lacquiparle county, together with‘a comprehensive history of that gentleman’s acts from the time he entered this world of strife and con- tention up to the new year of .our Lord, 1908. After having read the above-men: tioned “spiel”” concerning “Jake”, we are constrained to beileve that some of the Lacquiparle - county statesman’s-ardent friends have been slyly putting the gubernatorial bee into “Jake’s” hat with the intention and purpose of getting him into the race for the republican nomination for chief executive of the state. In this connection, the Pioneer has received information (from a source which it believes is authentic) that “Bob” Dunn and “‘Jake” Jacob- son have been broug‘ht togelher, and that the “bloody hatchet”, which each has been wielding toward the other, has been buried. Our inform- ant.also intimates that Dunn favors Jacobson for the republican nomina- tion for governor. All of which will be interesting reading to the “powers that be” in the republicrn circles of Beltrami county. Ho Didn’t Like a Crowd.

'the - slightest “warning there was a terrific crash and the en- gines stopped, Every one-rushed on deck. The stéamer had run into-an fce- berg. Nobody knew whnt ‘damage had been done, and everybody was' ready to fly Into a panic. , The-boats were lowered, and then for the first time'the two evangelists, ‘who had been forgotten in the 'saloon, 'appeared on_deck.. They wore their overcoats and their hats, and. they carried rugs and handbags. They elbowed ‘their way rudely. to the call, with: the evident intent of secur- Ing for themselves first places in the boat. "It was just at a time when a breath:would have sent the passengers panic stricken into the ‘boats. The sight of the two evangelists was about to undo the work of cool headed officers when; a pert little : cockney stepped up.to .the gentlemen wlth the rugs and handbags. . “Beg pardon,?. sald he, flppmg his cap, “’ave a cab, sir?” And in the general laugh the dnnger of panic was averted. and fell upon the tracks. | ..

OFFICIALS Washington Unable to Account for European War Talk, NO FRIéTION WITH JAPANESE Negotiations Looking to Exclusion of Coolie Labor From the United States Progressing Smoothly To- ward Ultimate Agreement. Washington, Jan. 11.—Considering the smoothness with which exchanges are progressing between America and Japan relative to the adjustment.of questions growing out of the immigra- tion of Japanese laborers into the United States the officials of the state department. are puzzled to account for the publication in various foreign cap- itals as well as in this country of re- ports calculated to convey the impres- sion that there is serious friction be- tween the two countries over this sub- ject. The latest of these reports, that the Japanese foreign office is reluc- tant to aecede to’a “demand” of Am- bassador O'Brien that an agreement to restrict Japanese coolie immigration into the United States be reduced to ‘writing, meets with unqualified contra- diction at the state department. Mr. O’Brien is merely aiding Japanese regula- tions that will serve to stop the in- discriminate immigration evil. He is not expected to negotiate any treaty Wwith Japan on this subject, or even to secure a modus vivendi or anything in the nature of the written agreement referred to in some of the press dis- patches. He has, under instructions from the state department, acquainted the Japanese government with the fact that the measures adopted in Japan last spring, following the under- taking of the Japanese government to restrict undesirable immigration to the United States by a.careful regula- tion of the issue of passports, have- Proved Utterly Ineffective. The Japanese officials were surprised at the figures presented by Mr: O’Erien, illustrating not only the con- tinuance of the coolie immigration into America but its startling increase, even after the adoption of the Japa- mnese restrictive policy. Therefore these Japanese officials have been en- deavoring to frame regulations that shall be effective and in the course of that effort they have naturally com- municated freely with the American ambassador. The latter has acquaint- ed the state department with the na- ture of the proposed restrictive meas- ures and the department in turn has not hesitated to suggest amendments to the project based on the experi- ence of the immigration inspectors and collectors of ‘customs in this country. This involved the co-opera- tion of the department of state and the department of commerce and la- bor, the latter being directly charged with the enforcement of the exclusion laws. 'There is pending before the ‘Washington officials a long report by cable from Mr. O’Brien covering the latest phase of the Japanese project. The officials are carefully considering this and will not hesitate to indicate how it may be improved if that is pos- “sible, notwithstanding the fidct that the ambassador has expressed the be- lief that the plan proposed is satis- factory. Should the department coin- cide in this view it is stated that it wilf only be necessary for Mr. O'Brien to signify to the Japanese government that fact and there will be no neces- sity for him to secure any written pledges or, indeed, to make any sug- gestion that might in the slightest de- gree reflect upon the good faith of the Japanese government in this mat- ter. INTERVENTION URGED. French Deputy Would Prevent Amer- ican-Japanese War. Paris, Jan. 11.—Lucien Millevoye, a member of the chamber of deputies, who first achieved notoriety by -his connection with the Boulanger move- ment, is the author of a sensational article published here in which he calls upon Great Britain and France to intervene in the *“American-Japanese crisis” before it is too late. He de- clares that Great Britain, supported by France, holds the key to the situa- tion, but says the difficulty is:that no one is able to fathom the secret. hnpes of the British government. M. Millévoye lays the responsibility for the Russp-Japanese war at the door of Great Britain. This- war, he says, made a “cemetery of Manchuria’ and he asks if- Great Britain now de- sires “another orgy of blood which will make the world shudder.” Con- tinuing, M. Millevoye argues that Great .Britain: may believe_she can rule the Far East upon the ruins. of Japan and America, but he contends that if she does hold this conviction she is playing with fire, as a war might arouse the Asiatics from the Indus to the Amur. M. Millevoye insists that the inter- ests of Europe, both economic and political, lie with the United States. “The tlme for arbitration has ar- rived,” he says, “tomorrow may be too late. If the governments at Lon- don: and Paris postpone conciliatory proposals /it ‘may cost both of. them dear.” Destructive Incendiary Fire.

Resolution -~ Requesting Information Concerning ‘National Banks. ' ‘Washington, Jan. 11.—The house of representatives has adopted a reso- lution calling on the secretary of the treasury for information concernlng national banks as follows: First—The total number of national |’ banks in operation Aug. 22, 1907, and Dec. 2, 1907, respectivély, in each state and territory and the: District of Co- lumbia;, the total amount of capital stock and unimpaired.surplus of such banks at each of sucn aates, Second—The total amount of public money in each on Oct. 1, 1907; Dec. 1, 1907, and Jan, 1, 1908.

PRt i A REFUSES TO ALTER ORDER Supplementary Decision in La- bor Boycott Case. Washington. Jan. 11.—Justice Gould of the supreme court of the District of Columbia has overruled a motion of the American Federation of Labor to’ amend the court’s ordér in the case of the Buck Stove and Range com- pany of St. Louis, in which the court rec@iitly.temporarily enjoined the fed- eration from placing the company on a boycott and unfair list in the fed- eration publications. The motion con- tended that the order was’ erroneous because it was made to run until the final decree in the case instead of until the further order of the court; because it may be construed to en- join the defendants from uniting to agree not to patronize the plaintiff’s products; or construed to prevent the defendants and their associates from saying to others that they had united and combined not to patronize such products; or construed to enjoin their announcing that they had combined not to deal with others who should deal with the company. The motion also contended that the order abridges freedom of speech of all the defendants and freedom of the press, “which is protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.” The court refused to alter the order in any way.

The law in question is a New Mexican statute which has been in force for five years, under which all damage suits against New Mexican' railroads for personal in- Juries must be brought in the courts |z of that territory and affidavits in sup- vort thereof must be made personally within the territory and before the expiration of ninety days from the date of the accident, failing which the rajlroad concerned may itself enter suit against the injured person and obtain judgment of non-liability. Rep- resentative Birdsall stigmatized the law as “the strangest monstrosity on American stdtuté books.” BOY KILLS HIS MOTHER. Was Showing Gun to Father When It Was Discharged.
