According toa “prominent demo- crat” who has been giving a “pipe” to Washington correspondents, the following is the program which has been outlined for democratic success in Minnesota a year hence: John Lind of Minneapolis is named as the man most likely to make the race for United States senator. Congressman W. S. Ham- mond of St. James is mentioned as the probable candidate for governor, and success is promised in “many of the congressional districts.” The exact districts in which demo- cratic victory ispromished are not given, but the letter intimates that there will be a strong congressional ticket in the field in every one of the nine districts in the state. One of the most interesting state- ments madeis that Governor Johnson is to be “active in the campaign.” The governor is apparently to retire ftom the ticket and take a leading part in the effort to capture the senatorship for former Governor Lind, the governorship for Con- gressman Hammond and the choice congressional berths for those who are best fitted to make the fight in the respective districts. Here’s another one, as to what the Soo people are doing, in their Duluth-Thief River Falls cut-off: Walker Pilot: Rumor has it that the Soo Ry. has purchased a town- site on Leech river near the dam and will have a division point there for a proposed Thief River Falls Falls-Duluth branch. This point is just midway between the two cities. PROTEST AGAINST WAR IN MOROCCO People of Madrid Greatly Ex- cited Over Situation, Madrid, July 22.—Great excitement prevails here. The population is clear- 1y opposed to the Spanish-Moroccan war in Africa. There were several demonstrations in front of the war ministry and much rioting in the streets, in which women took & prom- inent part. The first body of soldfers to rein- force the Spanish troops at Melilla left this city at 3 o'clock in the morn- ing. Despite the early hour an enor- mous crowd had gathered and cries of protest agalnst the departure of the troops were numerous. The po- lice were obliged to charge the people several times before they were dis- persed. Melilla, Morocco, July 22.—Moorish tribesmen attacked a Spanish force at the railroad station just outside this town, but were repulsed by Gatling guns.

HOSTILITIES MAY - FOLLOW BREAK Relations Between Argentina and Bolivia Severed. SPIRIT OF WAR PREVAILS Bolivians Present Monster Petition to Government Declaring Unquallified Support and Asking to Be Enrolled in the Army—Argentina Angered by Intentional Slights on Part of Sister Republic: La Paz, Bolivia, July 23—Officlal eircles now admit that a complete rupture has occurred Between Bolivia and the Argentine Republic and that all diplomatic relations have been sev- ered between the two countries. The recall of the Argentine minister, Se- nor Fonseca, who has been stationed here throughout the disorderly events leading up to the present crisis, was followed immediately and almost si- multaneously with the recall of the Bolivian minister stationed at Buenos Ayres. On the departure of the Bo- Hvian minister from Argentine he has been ordered to turn over the archives to the American, Chilean or Brazilian legation. The rupture of diplomatic relations Wwas announced after extended official conferences, at which efforts were made to meet the aggressive attitude assumed by Argentina and at the same time allay the growing popular agitation in Bolivia. The spirit of the people was shown in monster peti- tions asking to be enrolled in the army, the petitioners asserting uncon- ditional support to the government cause in case of an armed conflict. The feellng that hostilities may occur is shown by the continued departure of many Argentine and Bolivian resi- dents. The cause of Argentina breaking off diplomatic relations, as stated here, is a circular issued by President Montes to the provincial governors of Bolivia referring in slighting and offensive terms to the arbitration award recent- ly handed down by the president of Argentina in the matter of the bound- ary dispute between Bollvia and Peru and also the Bollvian president’s or- ders to the municipal officlals at La Paz to suspend the centenary fetes and treat the day as one of national misfortune. Argentine considered it Incompatible with dignity to maintain diplomatic relations with Bolivia un- der the circumstances and ordered her minister at L.a Paz to retire. DR. MILLER IS INDICTED Held for Murder of Banker Sayler at Crescent City, Hl. Watseka, 111, July 22.—Dr. W. L. Miller, charged with the murder of J. B. Sayler, the Crescent City banker, was indicted by a special grand jury. Indictments were also returned against other prisoners held as accessorles. It 1s reported that one witness tes- tified that he saw Ira Grunden, brother of Mrs. Sayler, place a hatchet beside the body of Mr. Sayler hours after the latter's death. Dr. Miller's defense is that he fired only when he was at- tacked with a hatchst by Mr. Sayler. LAID BEFORE GRAND JURY Conditione Existing In Chicago Police Department. Chicago, July 22.—State’s Attorney Wayman has lald the foundation for grand jury investigation of the Chi- cago police department that, accord- Ing to rumors, may result in the in- dictment of high police officials, the breaking up of the present police ad- ministration and the exposure of a city wide system of graft. Testimony was given before the grand jury which places policemen of the West Side and the Harrison street districts in peril of indictment. MAY DECIDE TO RAISE PRICES Heads of Steel Corporation Concerns In Conference. New York, July 22.—Prestdent Will- jam . Corey of the United States Steel corporation - presided at the monthly meeting of the heads of con- stituent companies of the corporation here. No officlal statement concern- ing the conference is likely to be given out, but it is understood there is some talk of an advance in the prices of steel products. President Corey and the other conferees would not commit themselves on that point. Convicted of Attempted Murder. New York, July 22.—Cornelius P. Shea, ex-president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and long a prominent labor leader, was convicted of an attempt to murder Alice Walsh, a former Chicago waltress, with whom Shea s alleged to have lived. Americans to Aesist Honduras. Washington, July 22.—It is reported here that propinent American bank- ers are to refund the public debt of Honduras, which, at.the present time, it is understood, amounts to some- thing like $100,000,000. The bonds are largely held in England. M. BOURGEOIS FOR PREMIER Posslble Solution of French Cablnet Orisle. Paris, July 23—The work of forni ing a new ministry to take the place of the Clemendeau regime has begun. Prosident Fallieres was visited by the retiring premier, M. Clemenceau, and later ¢onferences were held between the president and M. Brisson, prest dent of.the chamber of deputles, and M. Dubost, president of the senate. It is'now assured that three mem- bers of the old cabinet will be re TS G e e T S A tained in the reconstituted miinistry, but aside from the question of per- sonnel the government advisers are principally concerned in resolidifying the Republican “bloc” in order that its policles may be continued both at home and abroad. It is generally be- Heved that if M. Bourgeols, former minister of foreign affairs, can be in- duced to accept the task of forming a new ministry a speedy solution of the crisis can be reached. CUTTING DOWN ESTIMATES 8pecial Meeting of Cabinet Discusset Expenditures. Z ‘Washington, July 22.—A specjal meeting of the cabinet was held at the White House to further discuss cutting down the estimates of the various departments for the coming fiscal year.

London, July 22.—Six out of. four- teen suffragettes who were recently imprisoned. in the Holloway jail for breaking windows at- Whitehall have been released on account of insubor- dination and Herbert Gladstone, sec- retary of state for home affairs, inti- mated in the house of commons that it was only a question of a few days until all of the women would be turned out, as the “hunger strike” had become . general. Since the womecn were sentenced to close confinement they have been defying all the prison rules and now, Mr. Gladstone said, they have taken to kicking and biting the female wardens. The home secre- tary hotly denounced James Keir Har- die’s suggestion that the cells under- ground were unsanitary. Attempts made by the supporters of the suffragettes to adjourn the house, - in order to discuss “the infliction of a punishment that was dangerous to the health of the ladies,” was defeated by the speaker, who refused to put the motlon on the ground that there had been no departure from the ordinary administration of law. TAFT PUTS HIS FOOT DOWN South Dakota Census Jobs Not for Politics Alone. ‘Washington, July 22—The South Dakota senators and the state's repre- sentatives have found it impossible to reach an agreement on the appoint- ment of the two census supervisors for South Dakota. Senators Craw- ford and Gamble have taken the' posi- tion that this patronage belongs to them. Representatives Burke and Martin also have put in a claim for it. Both sides to the controversy have talked over the case with President Taft. The president has announced that neither Republican faction in South Dakota will be permitted to use the census supervisors and enumerators for political purposes. The president also notifled Senators Gamble and Crawford that he will not appoint supervisors who are obnox- fous to Messrs. Burke and Martin. HIGH HEEL NEARLY FATAL Woman Slips and Is Thrown Through Open Window. New York, July 22.—Mrs. Arthur ‘W. Teele, wife of the well known rail- road and legal accountant, was picked up seriously injured beneath one of the windows of her apartment.

She slipped on one of her high heels and toppled out of the window, a distance of perhaps forty feet, to the street. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Duluth Wheat and Flax.

ASKS FREE COAL AND HIDES M House Leader Insiste on His De- mands Senate Conferees 8ay There B8 No Possibility of an Agreement. President Taft Unsuccessful in Search for Votes to Uphold His Position. ‘Washington, July- 22.—Determined to present to President Taft a pro- gramme for the settlement of the dis- pute over raw materials, or at least to define the issues so sharply that the executive may be put in a position to welgh the merits of the controvert- ed points, the tariff conferees took up in earnest the five big subjects _that had been held in abeyance by the atti- tude of the adminigération. The conferees were sald to realize that their position would be unenvi- able if they were to go to the White House dinner and report that they had been unable to reach an agreement on iron- ore, lumber, oil, hides and coal and that they could offer no basis for an adjustment of any of these prob- lems. From reports that have reached CONGRESSMAN PAYNE. the Capitol it is sald that the presi dent has not been successful in get: ting sufficient votes to put hides or coal on the free list and that the in- clusion of free coal and hides in the copference report would result in its rejection by the senate. Senator Al- drich is believed to have told the president as much. The only obstacle in the way of making a compromise report, putting iron ore and ol on the free list and making reductions in the dutles on coal, hides and lumber, is believed to by Representative Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee.and head of the house conferees. 1f he should refuse to sign a report none oould be made. It makes no differ- ence whether his signature is attached to the minority or majority report, but his signature must be had if there is to be tariff legislation. If he exacts the placing of hides on the free list and the adoption of a reciprocal pro- vision, which would mean free entry of coal from Canada, as the price of his signature the senate conferees say there is mno possibility of an agree- ment. WOOL DEALERS ARE BLAMED Glothing Manufacturers Explain In- crease in Prices. ! ‘Washington, July 22.—Stung by the eriticisms which have been heaped upon them for announcing a 25 per cent increase in the price of woolen cloths, although the new tariff bill does not increase the Dingley rates on wool in any particular, a delega- tion representing 95 per cent of the ready made clothing manufacturers of the country called upon President Taft at the White House to explain their position. They declared that the wool dealers have been forming a combination during the past few years and are now ready. to advance. the price on that quality of wool used in the cheaper grades -of clothes. .In order to prevent this increase it was asserted that reductions in the Ding- ley bill rates were necessary. The trouble with the Dingley rates, which are repeated in the present bill, the manufacturers sald, is that the duties levied on the grade of wool from which the poor man’s clothes are made are comparatively s0 much greater than the dutles upon the wool used in the higher class of clothes as to amount to a serious discrimination. The delegation told the president that unless a change could be made in the woolen scheduls, even at this late day, a great storm of protest would sweep the country as a result of the Increased. prices. MUST PLAY WITH CHICAGO Murphy Would Not Release Kling for $50,000. New York, July 22.—President Mur- phy of the Chicago National league baseball club is quoted here as em- phatically declaring that he would not take $50,000 for Catcher Kling. “Not that he s worth that much,” sald Mr. Murphy, “but there is a prin- ciple involved in the matter and I propose to stand firm. Mr. Ebbetts made me a generous offer for Kling and if the case were an ordinary one 1 should favor giving him up to Brook- lyn, But Kling has not acted in a sportsmanlike manner to the Chicago club and I have come to the conclu- sion that he must play with the club ame e Noyglass Lumber Company NO ONE WILL CLAIM THEM| = BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA Trunks of Steerage Passengers Con- tained $5,000 Worth of Laces. New York, July 22—Two trunks which were recently taken to Ellis island with the baggage of steerage Dassengers have been found to con- tain about $5,000 worth of laces and the customs officers are perplexed 2 to the identity of their owner. The ship’s crew was unable to tell how these trunks got aboard and there were no marks on them to indicate their owner. It was supposed they belonged to steerage passengers, but none have claimed them. ROOSEVELT HAS AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE His Rowhoat Surrounded by Dozen Hippopotami. Furnish you with your Lumber, Lath and Shingles. Have everything in the line of Building Material.- Prompt deliveries made to any part of Bemidji or Nymore. Telephone 371 The ROYAL Standard Typewriter Naivasha, B. B. A., July 22.—Colonel Roosevelt had an exciting experience while endeavoring to secure a cow hippopotamus. He went out on Lake Naivasha in a rowboat, accompanied by two natives. After rowing out some distance from shore the boat was surrounded by a dozen hippo potami, who attacked the boat, some of them diving under and striking the bottom of it with their backs. The natives became terrorized, but Mr Roosevelt was not dismayed and, se- lecting the finest bull and the largest cow, shot them dead. Eventually the rest of the animals were driven off, Mr. Roosevelt arriving at camp some hours later after towing home the spolls with a launch which was sent to search for the rowboat.
