SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM —— “THE THUSNESS OF THE WHY.” The following, taken from the Hendrum Review, may throw con- siderable light on the reason why certain leading members of the legis- lature are working “tooth and nail” for Cass Lake in the normal school fight: “The whisky fight is pulled into almost every conceivable contest, even to the locating of a new normal school, all the acknowledged repre- sentatives of the breweries having lined up Cass Lake as the site for a new mnormal school, in spite of the fact that it is a town of no import- ance, and whose chief industry is to separate the lumber jacks from their money, for the sole and only reason that the other towns in the race are represented by members who favor county option.” Matters have indeed come to a pretty pass when the interests re- ferred to above attempt to control the educational institutions of the state. However, there is much that is true injthe Review’s summing up of the situation regarding the normal controversy. And, it might be added, with as much truth, that the gigantic steel trust has also “dipped into” the fight in no uncertain man- ner, as witness the strenuous labors of certain Eighth district .members. With anything like fair play, the Hinds ‘“general” bill would have long ago been enacted into law; as it is, the interests back of Cass Lake will probably be respounsible for the north half of Minnesota being de- prived of a much-needed institution for furnishing advanced teachers for our rural schools. OLD GUARD IN MINORITY Composition of Senate Committee on Committees. ‘Washington, March 17.—The com- position of the senate committee on committees, as announced by Senator Hale, chairman of the Republican cau- cus of the senate, is generally accept- ed as indicating a distinct purpose to conciliate the “youngsters” of the senate, as the band of ertswhile insur- gents and their sympathizers are called. Senators Aldrich, Kean, Mc- Cumber and Crane of the “old guard” form but a minority of the nine mem- bers, Senators Flint, Sutherland, Cur- tis, Borah and Dixon all being of the younger element. The fact that the Far West predom- inates in the committee is also notice- able, six of the nine members being from west of the Missouri.

ARMY BILL CONSIDERED Members of Ministry, in Debate on Measure Regulating the Number of New Recruits, Lay Emphasis on the Necessity of Having a Strong Army Ready for Action—Crisis Still In an Acute Stage. Vienna, March 17.—During the de- bate in the lower house of the Aus- wian parliament on the bill fixing the number of new recruits for this year Premier von Biernerth made a briet allusion to the Austro-Servian situa- tion. “The reply of the Servian govern- ment to our recent communication did not meet with our expectations,” he said. “We desired in the most ac- commodating manner to offer Servia our hand in order to enable her to express herself in a correspondingly clear manner regarding the -change of her policy concerning Bosnia and Her- RICHARD VON BIENERTH. zegovina and in the matter of the con- tinmation of our economic relations. To this definite question the Servian government replied evasively. We will not be able to discuss economic questions with Servia until we have a clear and satisfactory statement of her true intentions.” Continuing, the premier added that as the negotiations between the for- elgn office and Servia were still going on he could say nothing more. The ministers, in debating the bill for new recruits, laid emphasis on the necessity of having a strong army rendy for action. STILL IN AN ACUTE. STAGE Crisis Between Austria-Hungary and Servia. Berlin, March 17.—Advices received at the foreign office concerning the strained situation between Austria- Hungary and Servia indicate that the crisis is still in an acute stage. It is affirmed that Austria-Hungary is about to make another effort at Belgrade with the view of bringing Servia’s views into accord with her own. The nature of these representations is not disclosed, but it can be said that the dual monarchy will demand a clear explanation of Servia’s intentions. Officials say that if Servia concedes this the negotiations will pursue a peaceful course, but if not hostilities are inevitable and the onmly task of the powers will be to localize the con- flict. The report that Turkey will demand an explanation of Servia’s intention with regard to the large quantity of war material now lying at Saloniki has been officially confirmed. Should the reply be unsatisfactory an em- bargo will be placed on'the supplies at Saloniki. In the meanwhile Servia has arranged to procure munitions of war and stores via Bulgaria, but pres- sure will be brought’ upon Turkey to prevent the passage of military sup- plies through”the Dardanelles.

Y., March 17.—Salvatore Randazzio, who was convicted on April 3, 1908, of the murder of his cousin, Pietro Randazzio, at West Salamanca on Jan. 11, 1908, was elec- trocuted in Auburn prison.

Wellensgard' fesumed the stand in the senatorial primary Investigation. Witness received $250.80 from the Stephenson fund and spent about the same amount for his own campaign. He sald he kept ‘his ac counts in two small books, but not Beparate, because he did not receive] any Stephenson money until after the'| primaries. __His_ bill ‘against: Stephen ave not coughed once all day?

Hatton. It was said that Hatton told the sheriff of Waupaca county that he expected to be subpoenaed and was willing to appear at any time. When the sheriff sought to serve Hatton at New Lon- don he was not in his office and it was believed he had left the eity. The motion to have the sergeant-at- arms go after him was lost. C. H. Russell, defeated candidate for congress in the Second district, testified to having received $450 of the Stephenson fund to be used in both Stephenson’s and his own inter- ests. Most of the items of expense were small. One or two of these to whom he paid money turned against him because his opponent, in the Words of Mr. Ingalls, “raised the ante.” LA FOLLETTE IS A FAKE, SAYS CANNON Uncle Joe Has Paresis, I Champ Clark’s Reply. ‘Washington, March 17.—Speaker Cannon and Champ Clark, the minor- ity leader of the house, swapped tart remarks about each other at the ‘White House. The speaker called upon the president and when he was leaving the executive offices made this answer to a question as to the fight in the house: i “The amendments to the rules have greatly improved them. All this stuff about the speaker being a czar is the purest tommy rot. There has never been a time when the majority could | not control the house. What they wanted to do was to make the com- mittee of fifteen czars, dominated by Champ Clark and La Follette. That is also tommy rot. La Follette is a fake.” ‘When Representative Champ Clark called on President Taft later and was told what the speaker said he answered briefly: “Uncle Joe has paresis.” Mr. Clark would not comment fur- ther except to say that the amend- ments to the rules amount to very little.
