Min., as second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM The twin city papers and the Duluth News-Tribune are working themselves into a ferment trying to discover some deep, dark plotin the visit to Washington of W. B. Hen- nesey, the newspaper man of St Paul. Some state positely that he is the personal representative of Governor Johnson, while the Duluth paper is certain he is at the capitol in the employ of the New York World. We knew"Brad” Hennesey when he was working on a paper at Grafton, N. D., and later at Grand Forks, and he was at that time a pretty smooth article in the edito- rial-writing line. Whoever “Brad” represents at Washington can de- pend upon it that the “representa- tive” will be strictly in the swim, down there on the Potomac. Julius Schmahl, secretary of state, is not lucky, he is just a worker. He woun out as a reporter by work; he hustled when he edited a country newspaper; he went after the chief clerkship in the house as though his life depended upon it; when he went gunning for the nomination as secre- tary of state he went loaded with vim and vigor. He put into the also-ran class a lot of lucky boys whenever he got into a fight. He is out in the state now, working for a renomination, although there is no question about his winning without an effort. Julius may never become popular enough to have a lot of youngsters named for him, but if we ever build a gasoline engine or organize a movement that we want to be energetic we think that christening it the Juliusceaserschmahl ~ would help some.—The Olivia Review. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc™] No circus can expect to win favor this summer unless it shall carry a bald eagle and a scalped octopus. Judging from the number of planks Mr. Bryan has inserted he has mistaken the Democratic plat- form for a lecture stage. The young Chicagoan who saved an Indian chief’s life and Ithen re- fused to marry the grateful Ponca’s daughter has added another nail to the casket of romance. Now that the Pullman company has given its porters a bonus, it is to be hoped it won’t be long till its patrons get some sort of a rebate from the porters. According to Mrs. Hetty Green, no woman has any business. Still Mrs. Green will probably admit that there’s nothing wrong in a woman’s taking an interest in business—say, about 8 per cent. ROASTS ADMINISTRATION.. Senator Tillman Makes Characteristio Speech, ‘Washington, March 17.—Citing what he claimed to be “cold blooded facts” Mr. Tillman, in a speech in the senate, charged many of the evils in connec- tion with the recent financial flurry to the president and his administration and said: “These are only a few of the achievements of this ‘uncrowned king’ ‘With others of his kind he has cre- ated a Frankenstein monster, which, unsatiated by the blood of suicide and fears of heartbroken women, threat- ens to devour and consume his cre- ators, who were able to quench his thirst by torrents of gold poured out by the federal treasury.” He charged the senate and house with absolute subservience to the ‘wishes of the chief executive. “Ser- vility and cowardice are th® order of the day,” he declared. Mr. Tillman also asserted that every effort was befng made to control the negro vote and, coming back to the clharge of favoritism on the part of the president towards the wealthy, he sald: “The poor fools: who wera shouting his pralses have so far fatled to un- derstand that the bad government which the Republican party has given the country is due solely to the ignor ance and debauchery of the people. Misled and deceived by the newspa- pers, which are owned by these same rich men, labor, organized and disor- ganized, trails along behind the ban- mer of Republicanism and shouts for Roosevelt and his policies. The mil- Mons who have been robbed are equally as enthusiastic as the million- alres who have been benefitted. The capacity of the people to govern them- selves wisely and protect their inter- ests s seriously called in question by existing conditions. The money which oame by dishonest and unfair methods is used to control the machinery of nomination at Chicago.” MASSACRE IS FEARED Conditions in Hayti Suddenly As- sime Most Critical Stage. #AY ATTACK CONSULATES Alleged Revolutionists Are Being Ex- ecuted and the Government Threat- ens to Go After Refugees Under Foreign Protection. Paris, March 17.—The situation be- tween the Haytian government and France has become acute and ecritical. The French legation at Port au Prince is menaced and a general massacre of the white resldents of the island is feared. This information was con- veyed In an official dispatch to the foreign office from M. Carteron, the French minister to Haytl, The latter part of last week M. Borno, the Haytian minister of state, assured M. Carteron that Hayti would agree to allow the refugees who had taken asylum in the French consulates at Gonaives and St. Marc to leave the island. Now there comes the news of the execution at Port au Prince on Sunday of between ten and twelve prominent persons on the charge of conspiracy against the government, to- gether with a cablegram from M. Car- teron that General Nord Alexis, pres- ident of Hayti, had not only refused to confirm the assurances given by M. Borno but had flatly declined to per- mit the refugees in the consulates to depart. Eleven additional persons have taken asylum at the French le- gation. The French cruiser d’Estrees is ex- pected very soon at Gonaives, where she will act in co-operation with the British and German ships of war now on their way to Haytl. It 1s understocd here that France, Germany and Great Britain are act- ing in accord in this situation. Firmin Among the Refugees. General Antenor Firmin, who led the last revolt in Hayti, is among the refugees under the French flag. The foreign office recognizes that the gen- eral and his followers are revolution- ists, but it declined to hand them over to the Haytian government on the ground that there were no assurances that the men would have a legal trial. In this connection it was explained that, according to French tradition, any man who sought refuge under the French flag should have at least tem- porary protection. The refugees num- ber about 100 in all. The French foreign office pointed out recently that in taking this stan. it was only following out the French traditional policy in Hayti and it ex- plained that General Nord Alexis him- self, when he was a revolutionist, once sought and obtained from France the same protection that France is now giving to the men who attempted to overturn his government. The Temps publishes a special dis- patch trom Port au Prince saying that the local situation is grave. General Nord Alexis claims that the plot against him was hatched in the French legation and an attack upon the lega- tion is feared, the correspondent says, because M. Carteron, the French min- ister, declines to deliver the refugees under the French flag to the Haytian authorities. GREAT EXCITEMENT EXISTS, Washington Hears of Reign of Tarror in Hayti. ‘Washington, March 1%=-Between ten and fifteen Kaytiaps, alleged to be revolutionists, have %een shot in Port au Prince, Heyt), according to information reaching the state depart- ment. Great excitemont prevails in that city and @ relgn of terror has struck the peoyle, The executions took place before daybreak and it {8 understood were the acts of the island govern- went. Hayti, it is said, contemplates [getting rid of all of the refugees im iall of the consulates in the island and: ian order is expected to be issued for their. embarkation. Information has reached diplomatic channels in Washington that Mr: Borno, the Haytian minister at Santo Domingo, has accepted the position of minister for foreign affafrs for Hayti and that General Lecoate, the newly appainted minister of the interior, has: aceepted that portfalfo. In the event it fs: found desirable to dispatch a war vessel to Port au Prince to look after the protection of American interests during the excite- ment the navy has almost half a dozen ships that could be sent there with- out dalay: These include the cruisers Tacoma and: Des Moines, the former now cruising in the Windward islands end the latter at Guantanamo, and the: gunboats Dubuque, Marietta and Par ducah, all at Guantanamo engaged im target practice. If conditions at Port au Prince get worse a naval vessel will be sent there, but up to this timn Do orders to that effect have heen {ssued. Score: Lives Endangered.

New York, March 17.—A sensational development occurred in the trial of Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, Wwhen Justice Blanchard ordered the scquittal of the defendant on the in- e heuse. dlctmeat @&ainst him growlng out of the charge of Ellen von Hagen, a young girl. The action of the justice was taken upon motion of Assistant RAYMOND HITCHCOCK. District Attorney Garvan after Flora ‘Whiston, the prosecution’s chief cor- roborating witness, had testified that the story she told before the grand jury was false. Several other indict- ments on similar charges are still pending against Hitchcock. Flora Whiston swore on the witness stand that an agent of the Gerry so- clety had frightened her into making the charges against Hitchcock. “He threatened to take me away from my home—to separate me from my mother if I didn't tell that story,™ said the girl in a sobbing voice when asked why she had made the charges against Hitchcock before the grand Jury. In directing the jury to return a verdict acquitting Hitchcock on the Von Hagen indictment Justice Blanch- ard said he regarded the testimony of the Whiston girl as of the most start- ling nature. He suggested that it be made the subject of thorough investi- gation by the district attorney’s office. Flora Whiston was arrested on a charge of perjury as she was leaving the courtroom. Populists to Name La Foltette. Emporia, Kan., March 17.—E. H. Waterbury of Emporia, Populist na- tional committeeman from Kansas and delegate to the Populist national convention to be held at St. Louis, is quoted as saying in an interview here that United States Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin would be nominated on the first ballot for pres- Went by the Populists. GIVEN FREEDOM OF CITY. Florence Nightingale Honored. by London Offteials.

REBATE FINES UPHELD Federal Supreme Court Passes on Packing House Cases. FOUR CONCERNS AFFECTED Were Fined $15,000 Each for Accept- Ing Rate Concessions on Shipments Contrary to the Provisions of the Elkins Law. Washington, March 17.—The pro- ceeding by the government against the Armour Packing company, Swift & Co, Nelson Morris & Co. and the Cudahy Packing company, all of them operating in Kangas City, Kan., under which the companies were each fined $15,000 by the United States circuit court for the Western district of Mis- sourl for accepting rebates contrary to the provisions of the Elkins act, was decided by the supreme court of the United States adversely to these companies. 'The court’s opinion was announced by Justice Day, who held that the Eikins act is applicable to transportation anywhere and that an offense is mot confined to the Inftial point. He also held it applicable alike to shipper and carrier. The decision of the lower courts in the case against the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy Rallway company, holding that company responsible for granting the rebates to the packers and fning that company for the of- fense, was also affirmed. Justice Brewer dissented from the view of the court on the ground that the decision would work a violation of contract, “which,” he sald, “shocks hfs sense of justice.” 4 The chief justice and Justice Peck- ham concurred in Justice Brewer's decision. They also held the Missouri court to be withoat jurisdiction. The valldity. of the Elkins law was attacked and it also was contended that no real offense had been com- mitted, but-the principal defense was the contemtion that in view of the fact that the ghipments had orig- Inated in Kawusas the Missouri court was without jurisdiction.
