BELLE PLAINE-It Is claimed on good authority that the large frelght engines recently put into service by the Northwest- ern on its Iowa and Galena divisions have proved a fallure, and are responsible for | the continued and unusuaily persistent de- | leys which have crippled the service of that | road for the last four or five weeks. It Is | said that the engines have developed a | weakness for burning out. Twenty-five | of the Immense locomotives were put into | service on these two divisions recently, but | most of them are now In the shops unde going repairs. Instead of relieving the traffic situation, as it was supposed they would do, they have only tended to further complicate it.

BATTLE BREAKS OUT SUDDENLY Recent Acts of Cummins, La Follette and Bristow Start Fight—Must Line Up for Against Pres- ident’s Policies. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5—War without quarter will be waged between the Taft administration and such republican *In- surgents” In congress as are now opposing, and who oppose in the future, the Taft legislative program. The battle is not with thcse tardff insurgents who quietly sheathed their blades after defeat, but with those who have nursed disappointment and are whetting thelr knives publicly in antlcipation of continued conflict. The batle broke sudenly yesterday. At first it was a single shot: then a scattered firing; swiftly the thing spread until tonight It has taken on the aspect of a general engagement, the consequences of which cannot be foretold. The substances of it Is that the senators and congrecémen who have taken’ a stand against the present ad- ministration and who continue allgn themselves with the oppesition to the presi- dent's policles are to receive n€ con- sideration in matters of patronage. What Stirred the President. Utterances such as that made by Sen- ator Cummins at a recent dinner {n Des Molnes, by Senator Bristow in previous speeches, and anti-Taft articles in Senator La Follette's magazine and a recent inter- view by Senator Clapp on the price of food stuffs are sald to have stirred the president to action. It had been reported further that some of the republican in- surgen‘s In the house have trled to secure appointment under the administration of men more or less openly out of harmony with the Taft regime. Mr. Taft's closest friends advised him that it would be im- politic for him to afford sinews of war to those who they warned him might even co-operate with the democrats in congress against the Taft legislative program and ih the country at largs by creating antl- Taft sentiment in advance of the 1912 con- vention, It is stated without reserve tonight that the president has listened to such advice and has declded to follow it. to Battle with lIrreconcilables. In support of the position taken by cer- tain leaders of the administration, the battle Is not with the tariff insurgents, it was pointed out tonight that Senators Nel- son, Brown, Burkett and Borah, all of HEUMATIC HIE LS AL WILL CURE RHEUMATISM. You can easily understand how Hill's Pills work in curing Rheumatism and the other troubles that come from the same cause,—that is from URIC ACID IN THE BLOOD. You can't cure rheumatism from the outside, by liniments or heay—although these may stop the pain. As well try to stop the gnawing of an'empty stom- ach by tightening up your belt. Rheumatism comes from a flake-like deposit of the uric acld, in the muscles and at the joints, These flakes are dissolved and carried off by Hill's Rheumatlc Pills operating through the blood and bowels.

No politician who would discuss the sit- uation at all tonight dared hazard an opin- fon as to the political outcome of the con- test. Some Insisted that it would arouse bitter opposition to President Taft, while others declared that the effect would be to make all republicans line up for or against the president and “smoke out” those who have carefully kept a neutral position. Miller Blows Off the Lid. Represenative Miller of the Elghth Min- nesota district, was the man chicfly in- strumental in “blowing the lid off" of the situation today. He did it by a statement 10 the effect that Postmaster General Hitch- cock had Informed him yesterday that his (Miller's) recommendation for presidential postmasterships were being hefd up be- cause of his insurgent activities in the house. He quoted the postmaster general as saying in substance: “A great deal of pressure s being brought to bear upon me to withhold from the Insurgent republican congressmen the patronage In thelr dis- tricts. I am very loath to do this, and the matter 1s still under consideration.” Mr. Miiler said he told the postmaster general he intended to’ carry the thing to the open floor of the house; but that Mr. Hitchcock urged him to defer any such ac- tion until the subject could be further con- sidered. Whereupon Mr. Miller agreed to await full developments before precipitat- ing an open fight, Denies Violating Confidence. As soon as the congressman's statement became known the postmaster general called him on the telephone and took him to task for not having regarded the con- versation as confidential; to which Mr. Miller replied that' he had not so under- stood it and felt that he Lad violated no confidence. Representative Miller said to- night that a month or more ago he com- plied with a request from the Postoffice de- partment to forward his recommendations upon several presidential postmasterships in Minnesota. After a walt of several weeks he called at'the department, he says, but could get no satisfactory infor- mation and was for a long time unable to see the postmaster general. He succeeded in gaining an audlence yesterday afternoon, and it was during that conversation, ac- cording to Mr. Miller, that Mr. Hitchcock informed him of the existence of a situation which made it impossible for him to act as et upon his recommendations. Mr. Miller insists that he had no idea that the Interview was to considered private, as there were three other callers in Mr. Hitchcock's office at the time who might have heard the conversation. Rep- sentative Humphrey (Wash.) was one of | the three present, and one or both of the others were congressmen. Before making the matter public he had conferred with | Senator Clapp from his own state, also an insurgent. He did not desire, he sald, to precipitate any final break, but he had merely repeated remarks which he consid- ered were official and authoritative. Postmaster General Hitchcock was sllent on the whole subject tonight, nor would any other officlal representing the administra- tion say a word about it. Opposition at Home. Another feature the attitude of the party leaders toward Insurgent members of the house was hinted at In disclosures to- day. It was currently reported that*th “rebellious” republican members of con- gress were soon to feel the hand of the national party organization against them in thelr home districts. The plan, accord ing to the statement of one of the in- surgents, who also Is sald to be marke as a victim, was for the organization at Washington to stimulate opposition to re nomination of these congressmen by divers local activities.
