SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM BERRYHILL, ON CONGRESSMEN. The St. Paul Review, of which Berryhill is the versatile helmsman, has this to say of the recent con- tests for congressmen, in Minne- sota: “We learn a valuable lesson in two congressional fights. “McCleary retires and retires for good, and it is but a short time be- fore Tawney reaches his finish in the first district. He is now on probation, and every movement must be accounted for to his con- stituents. His first plain duty is to reconstruct his machine. It creaks and groans badly, and his opponents in the republican ranks insist that he mend his ways. He dispenses his favors with no regard whatever to the welfare of the west- ern and of his district and itis plain that his appointees there are out of touch with local sentiment. At any rate he is between the devil and the deep sea, and does the best he can under the circumstances. “It would be a calamiiy to trade Steenerson for Sageng, or some one like him, yet it is possible that will be shortly done in the Ninth. *“The others are sately republican, but the time hasarrived when a con- gressman who attends to the wants of his district and gets jobs for the boys is the candidate running ahead of h)s ticket. “Really the official who has the most places at his disposal is the best favored of all, though his troubles develop with surprising rapidity when a candidate for re-elec- tion. The student of politics can not get far astray on that proposi- tion. CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. G. Rutledge.] Clothes makes the man and want of them Salome. A zood way to respect people is not to get too intimate with them. The political boss commits sui- cide usually by shooting off his mouth. No matter how smart a man’s wife thinks he is he knows he is a great deal more. When a woman is kissed against her will, she is the receiver of stolen goods. Whenever a girl gets literary aspirations she begins to use the word “erstwhile.” KAISER BRANDED AS INDISCREET Recent Interview Discussed in the Reichstag. GERMANY HURT ABROAD Speakers Declare the Personal Ele ment in Foreign Politics Dangerous and Assert That Responsible Offi cials Should Pass on the Emperor’s Remarks—Had Offender Been Any One Else He Would Be Prosecuted. Berlin, Nov. 11.—The opening of the debate in the reichstag on Em- ‘peror William’s interview as pub- Ushed in the London Daily Telegraph found the chamber fuller than it has «ever been before on the occasion of an important political event. All the ministers, excepting Foreign Secre- tary von Schoen, were present, the royal, diplomatic and public galleries were crowded and there was not a vacant seat on the members’ benches, The interpellations regarding this interview, which has been character- ized as highly indiscreet, were taken up at once. Herr Rassermann, Na- tlonal Liberal, opened the debate. He expressed a hearty desire for the con- tinuance of friendly relations with foreign countries and said he be- leved that a very small proportion of the German people was unfriendly to Great Britain. The personal elements in foreign politics were dangerous, he declared, and the higher a man stood the greater care he should take of his utterances. Responsible offi- clals should examine his remarks. The National Liberals did not desire the resignation of Chancellor von Bue- low, but they did want the elimination of the personal element from the con- duct of foreign affairs, as its continu- ance was bound to bring failure. Continuing, Herr Rassermann re- M nu_eflect oLthe emperor’s uttérances. He said that China, Ja- pan and America had taken note of the fact that the German fleet had been authoritatively described as de- EMPEROR WILLIAM. signed for action in the Pacific. The Japanese press had been in an uproar over this declaration, Great Britain had been stirred to greater naval preparations and Germany’s relations had become worse with well nigh all the principal powers, but especially with France, Russia, Great Britain and Japan. There ought to be an end to imperial personal policies and inter- ference with the responsibilities of the chancellor, such as had been man- ifested recently in the Tower-Hill and the Tweedmouth affairs. Practically the entire German people were of one mind concerning the ruinous effects of direct imperial interference in the foreign affairs of the empire. Loyal monarchists could only regret that damage had been done the monarchial principle, especially at a time when a strong republican party had grown up. Herr Bassermann was followed by Herr Wiemer, Radical, who said in part: “We regretted greatly the incident over the appointment of David Jayne Hill to the post of the American am- bassador to Berlin, tending as it did to disturb the good relations between the United States and Germany. It was well said on the other side of the occan that ‘our representatives abroad shall not be check books, but men.’” Herr Singer, Socialist, declared that Germany had sunk low in foreign opinion through the incapacity and levity of persons in responsible places. In the constitutional system of Ger- many the king was the first servant of the state, he declared, and if an- other servant of the state had done such a thing as Emperor William he would be brought before an imperial court for trial. The speaker ex- plained that he referred to the trial for treason of Professor Geffken for publishing the diary of Frederick IIL Herr Singer’s speech was greeted by Socialist applause. Replying to the critics of the gov- ernment and the emperor Chancellor von Buelow calmly and briefly ex- plained the circumstances preceding the publication of the Telegraph inter- view. He declared he had decided to remain as chancellor, but he could not say for how long. MAY BE CITED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT Mayor Tom Johnson Refuses to Produce Books, Cleveland, Nov. 11.—Mayor John- son refused to produce the books of ‘the Pay-Enter Fare Box company when requested to do so in the re- ceivership hearing of the Municipal Traction company before Special Mas- ter Belford of the federal court. Fol- lowing the refusal of the mayor to produce the desired books attorneys for the Central Trust company of New York, which is pressing the re- ceivership proceedings, threatened to have the mayor cited for contempt. Attorney Cannon, representing the trust company, declared it was neces- sary to see the books of the Pay-Enter company in order to find out just where the latter company stood in relation to the Municipal Traction company. In the hearing Mayor Johnson ad- milted that he and President Du Pont of the Traction company owned all the stock in the Pay-Enter Fare Box company. The Municipal Traction company had met all the expenses of the fare box experiments, he said, and would have stood the loss if the fare box company had been a failure, but if it proved a success Johnson and Du Font were to get the profits, not the Municipal company. CHRISTENED BY DR. HILL Liner George Washington Launched at Stettin, Germany. Stettin, Germany, Nov. 11.—The steamer George Washington of the North German Lloyd line was suc- cessfully launched at Bredow, a suburb -of this city, and christened by Dr. David Jayne Hill, the American ambassador to Germany. The George Washington is the lat- est and highest type of passenger and freight carrying steamship. Comfort and safety have been given prece- dence over all other considerations, but still the vessel will have a speed of 18.5 knots an hour. This will make it possible for the steamer to cross the ocean in less than seven days. The George Washington is 722 feet long, 78 feet wide and 80 feet deep from awning deck down and has ac- commodations for 2,941 passengers .and will have a crew of 525 men. Among the /improvements - are third class accommodations as distinct from the ste a mnew departure in 4& CAUSED SHOCK IN THE SOUTH Killing of Ex-Semator Car- mack of Tenmessee. ATTAINED NATIONAL FAME Victim’s Brilliant Career in the Upper House of Congress Brought Him Into Prominence the Country Over. Fatal Duel the Outcome of Bitter Criticism by Carmack of Certain Democratic Leaders. Nashville, Tenn.,, Nov. 11.—Mes., tages from various sections testify to the tremendous sensation caused throughout the state and the South by the killing of former Senator Edward ‘W. Carmack by young Robin Cooper In a street duel here. Carmack’s bril- Hant career as a United States sen- ator from Tennessee had made him one of the best known of national fig- ures. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, father of Robin Cooper and who was with his son when the duel occurred, has an extensive acquaintance and a legion of friends both in his own and other states. The fatal clash oceurred in the street and was a culmination of a series of editorials that have appeared in the Tennesseean, a daily paper that has been published by Carmack since his retirement from official life. The articles were caustic criticism of the policies of Democratic leaders and in some of them direct references were made to Colonel Cooper. Mr. Carmack had left his office and was going to his apartments and Colo- nel Cooper and his son were coming down the avenue. As they came to- gether several shots rang out in rapid succession and Senator Car- mack whirled around and seemed to try to catch an electric light pole, but, missing this, fell in a heap in the, gutter just at the edge of the granite sidewalk. Carmack Died Instantly. He fell on his right side and was lying with one hand raised to his face. His revolver fell'to the street by his side and was picked up and turned over to the police. Mr. Carmack was in all probability .dead when he fell, as three bullets had been fired into his body. Colonel Cooper, it is un- derstood, drew his pistol, but did not fire. ) After the shooting the Coopers re- paired to the nearby office of a physi- cian, where young Cooper’s wound, which is slight. was dressed and he and his father were placed under ar- rest. The wounded man, under charge of an officer, was taken to a hospital and spent a quiet night. In the doctor’s office Colonel Cooper turned over his revolver, none of the chambers of which had been emptied, to Sergeant Reid. Robin Cooper turned his revolver over to Patrol- man Vaughan and one empty shell dropped out of the magazine when it was unbreeched. It was an automatic magazine revolver and it was not known how many shots had been fired, but it was thought that an ex- amination would show three. Two chambers of the revolver of Senator Carmack were empty. In Columbia, the boyhood home of the former senator, the news shocked the people almost beyond measure. Business there will be suspended un- til after the funeral. A dispatch from Columbia to the Chattanooga Times says the general sentiment at Colum- bia is “that the shooting was instl- gated by the political forces dom- Inant In Tennessee and many express the opinion that it will promote the passage of temperance legislation.” WILL ARRIVE ON NOV. 20 Heir to Chinese Throne to Visit the United States. San Francisco, Nov. 11.—The cus- toms department has received word from the state department at Wash- Ington that unusual honors are to be paid the royal Chinese party expected here on the steamer Mongolia on Nov. 20. The party will be headed by Prince Tang Shao, son of the em- peror of China and heir to the throne. He will be accompanied by Prince Tsal Fee, a suite of nine secretaries, ten attaches, sixteen students and numerous,_ servants. The visitors will be taken off the steamer by a government cutter, their baggage being passed without exam- ination. Believed to Be Insane. Denver, Nov. 11.—The woman who attempted to kill herself and Miss Helen Phipps, daughter of Mrs. Gen- evieve Chandler Phipps, and two po- licemen, after the failure of her at- tempt to extort $20,000 from Mrs. Phipps, was identified as Mrs. Allen Reld, wife of a druggist of this city. Mrs. Reid returned recently from Springfield. Mass., whither she had gone to attend the funeral of her father. She is believed to be insane. Religious Editor Killed. St. Louis, Nov. 11.—Dr. David D: Thompson of Chicago, editor of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, who was run over by an automobile in this city Monday night, is dead.

New York, Nov. 11.—Enormous buy- Ing of stocks of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads excited the stock market and pulled the gen- eral range of prices upward two points or more from a depression Into which it had been forced by heavy sales to take profits. Southern Pacific advanced 6 points, to 118%. Union Pacific went up 3% points, to 181%. Rumors of an intention to in- crease the dividend of the Southern Pacific to 7 per cent at the next meet- ing of the directors were circulated. There were also reports that the Southern Pacific contemplated an issue of $100,000,000 in bonds to re- tire its 7 per cent preferred stock. After Sonthern Pacific had touched 118% the weight of the sales to| realize sent prices downward again. A reaction of about a point in the active stocks resulted. The market steadied again before the closing and a more even tone resulted. Reinforcing Dutch Squadron.
