F| ••• ial to The Globe. < 111- Ac.o. March 20.—The Repub lic.n campaign managers who appoint ed themselves masters of ceremonies for the approaching visit of Presideni Roosevelt to this city Ignored Mayor Harrison in their arrangements and tried in every way to create a popular Impression that the president's visit ■\v;,s intended as an aid to the party in Its effort to secure control of the Chi :;.p<> municipal offices, found today that tluy had cast a boomerang that threat ens to destroy what little chance they originally had of success in the < it y elections. li( sidt nt Roosevelt evidently had been deceived as to the Chicago situa tion, not knowing that his visit here was to come in the heat of a campaign. Tli- fact that Mayor Harrison was ig nored, howver, attracted his atten tion to the matter and today he sum moned the two Illinois senators to the White house, expressed his-displeasure with the arrangements that had been made and demanded that steps he tak en at once to insure a non-partisan thara< ter for his. trip to Chi. ago. Mr. Roosevelt requested the senators to in form Mayor Harrison personally that the president wished to see him while in Chicago, so that he could personally assure him that his trip so far as *"11i — cago was concerned was of an entirely non-partisan nature and that lie would Btay away from the city rather than give the ground of the slightest suspi cion that he was endeavoring to inter fere in local affairs. Then senators promised the president tiny would d<> as he wished and Im mediately upon leaving the White house sent messages to Presideni Long, of the Hamilton club, and District At torney Bethea conveying the presi dent's requests. This has set the local Republican leaders by the ears and they are casting about for some way out of the dilemma that will not cause a loss of votes to Graeme Stewart, their mayoralty candidate. TWIN CITY FRICTION. Delay of Reception Programmes Em- barrasses the President's Household. From Globe Washington Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. <.'., March 20.— Some annoyance is felt at the White house at the delay encountered in se curing a programme for the presi dent's entertainment in the Twin Cities. Secretary I.oeb was compelled today to appeal to Senator Nelson, to whom lie directed a letter requesting full in formation as to the arrangements to be furnished him within forty-eight hours. The delay, as the White house is in formed, is due to lack of perfect ac cord between the St. Paul and Minne apolis entertainment committees. While it is denied that there is friction or open wrangling, the correspondence received by Secretary Loeb indicates an absence of "team work." livery re quest for information as to the pro gramme has been met by efforts to have the president alter his itinerary so as to more time to one or the,oth er city. The Minneapolis people seem to think that St. Paul wants the lion's share c.i the president's time, while it is to get the fag end of an evening, and on the other hand, Minneapolis is ac cused of wanting to break off the St. Paul programme before it is fairly done. But whatever the cause, the fact re mains that the local authorities have been dilatory in coining to the front ■with the finished product and the man age r of the trip has been compelled to break oil' negotiations with local com mittees and to invoke the assistance of Nelson to get the thing fixed up. The programme has to be revised and o Kd here before the trip begins, and time is getting short. PRESIDENT THREATENS. May Take Train at Random and Go Where He 'Pleases. Special to The Globe. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 20.— President Roosevelt, ever since the route for his trip across the continent was made public, has been importuned by letter and telegraph and by con gressmen in person to go here and there to make stops. There has been so much pulling and hauling- that Mr. Roosevelt told callers today that if he was not given some say about the trip, he simply will take a train at random ami go where he pleases. Sen ator Burton, of Kansas, went to the THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. president today and said the Kansas schedule gave the senator the best of it. He said the president would stop longer in .Long's towns than in Bur ton's. There is a great squabble be tween Minneapolis and St. Paul. T;i coma and Seattle are fighting', tooth and nail. The Democrats in various* places are afraid the president will make political speeches and the Re publicans think perhaps the president will favor one faction or another. As soon as the president said he intended to take a horseback ride across Wyoming there was a move ment to provide him with an escort. If the Wyoming people had their way, there would be a convoy of militia and cowboys reaching half across the state. The president said he wanted "to go as nearly alone as possible, and now the Wyoming people are ag- , grieved. President in National Park. FORT YELLOWSTONE. NATION AL PARK.

Serious Blunder That May Nullify All Work for Reciprocity. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 20.— Acting Secretary of State Loomis and Mr. Quesada, the Cuban minister, after discussing the prospects of an ex change of ratifications of the Cuban treaty within the time limit, today de cided to cable President Pahna re questing him to call the-Cuban con gress into extraordinary session imme diately for this purpose, as that body otherwise would not meet until April 7, seven days after the expiration of the time limit. The state department officials have doubt us to their ability to do any thing whatever with the convention. The amendments made by the senate; particularly that added to the ratifying article, may result in the complete loss of the treaty. There are conflicting clauses which it may not be possible to reconcile. Article 11. provided orig inally that "the present convention shall be ratified by the appropriate au thorities of the respective countries and ratifications shall be exchanged at Washington as soon as may be possi ble, before the 31st day of January, 1903, and the convention shall go into effect on the tenth day the ex change of ratifications." Usually it is provided that a treaty shall go into effect as soon as the rati fications are exchanged, and with the slight change in this respect the orig inal ratifying clause of the Cuban treaty was in the usual form and would not have Jed to complicatipns. The date of Jan. 31 was changed by both governments before the United States senate acted, to March 31, and that is how the article stood when the senate added this sentence: "This treaty shall not take effect un til the same shall have been approved by the congress." This led to complice which are now vexing the department. There were two different dates fixed in the same article for the taking effect of the treaty. The weight of opinion in clines to the belief that following the common law principle the last stipula tion should govern, which would defer the operation of the treaty until after the congress acted. But a r.*Vre seri ous difficulty has been pointed out as follows: . ..*^>irt It is hardly regarded as feasible, and is certainly in violation of precedent, to exchange ratifications of a document which is not a treaty, as this Cuban convention will not be, in the opinion in some of the state department people ".until congress has set its approval upon it." If this view is correct, then the exchange of ratifications will have to be deferred until next winter at the earliest, and this delay, it is thought, would.cause the failure of the treaty in its present form, because of the inabil ity of the negotiators to meet the re quirement of article 11., which demands that' the exchange take place before March 31, It Is possible that a way will be found out of this web of contrari ties and to that end-the state depart ment people are now working. GOES TITpRISON FOR NON-SUPPORT Drove His Wife Insane and Must Work Hard at Stillwater. DULUTH. Minn., March 20.—John Brooks, who pleaded guilty to having failed to provide for his wife and fam ily, was today sentenced to one year at Still water at Tiard labor. He said he was forty-nine years of age and had lived in Duluth fourteen years, follow ing the trade of a bricklayer and ma son when he worked. He hfts a son in the state school at Owatonna. Brooks' wife was recently adjudged insane and sent to the asylum a± Fergus Falls, and It developed at the examination that her insanity was <lu-j to neglect and worry. CANADIAN MILITIA SCHEME ABANDONED Work of Lord Dundonald, Command- ing, Nullified by a Disagreement. OTTAWA, Ont., March 20.—A dif ference of opinion has arisen between Sir Frederick Borden, minister of mili tia, and the major general commanding in regard to the militia organization and the result may be that the term of Lord Dundonakl in Canada will be cut short. In the estimates there is an item for expenditure on capital ac count;~Tn connection with the militia organization. Lord Dundonald, it is said, desires ten times more money In this connection than the minister can give. m As a consequence of the refusal the elaborate scheme of the major general, costing $12,000,000 and involving the whole organization of the defense of Canada, will have to be abandoned. It is reported in offlpial circles that Lord Dundo«ald has the idea, which Gen. Hutton held strongly, that It Is the general commanding and the imperial authorities and not the minister and the Canadian government that control the militia. Sir Frederick takes issue with him on this point. Denver May Go on and Consolidate. DENVER, Col..

I RED LETTER DAY FOR LEGISLATORS Duluthians Make a New Rec ord in the Line of Hospitality. Special to The Globe. DULUTH, Minn., March 20.—Duluth, through its Commercial club, outshone all former efforts with the reception and banquet tendered the big legisla tive party ;it the club rooms tonight. The banquet was one of the most sumptuous affairs ever spread In Du luth and the entertainment as a whole has given the legislators a new Idea of Duluth hospitality. The legislative special of eight sleep ers, dining cars and compartment bag gage car arrived in Duluth shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon. The short delay was occasioned by a stop at Sandstone to permit the legislators to visit the quarries, under the guid ance of Senator Cowan. The members of the party were conducted to the club rooms, where the officers and members received informally until 7 o'clock. The banquet was the piece de resist ance. Upon It Secretary Albert L. Preston and the chef of the club had staked their reputation. The tables were laid In the ordinary. Plates were laid for 200. The arrangement was three long tables running from the speaker's table down the entire length of the long room. The decorations were simple and correspondingly ef fective. E. L. Miller presided as toastmaster. Mayor T. W. Hugo welcomed the guests on behalf of the city. Former Congressman Page Morris also spoke on behalf of the citizens of Duluth. Gov. Van Sant and Lieut. Gov. Ray T. Jones responded and , impromptu speeches by members of the club and legislators rounded an entertaining meeting. The trip from St. Paul was without an unpleasant incident and every one is delighted with the manner in which the party is cared for by Assistant General Passenger Agent Stone, of the Great Northern. The party will spend the night in its cars and leave at 6 o'clock tomorrow night for Two Har bors, the first point on the Iron Range. LEGISLATOR STABBED IN DEFENSE OF WOMEN Frank J.

PRICE TWO CENTS. JfcMfcm BLACK MAN WOULD SHAKE HANDS WITH TILLMAN Frederick L. McGhee Requests Congressman Lind to Introduce Him to the Senator at Lecture in Minneapolis, but Till man Leaves Abruptly. I B. R. TILLMAN. Notwithstanding the declaration of United States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman that he never had and never would shake hands with ;t negro, I'l'd erick L. McGhee, the colored attorney of this city, went over to Minneapolis last night incidentally to hear Benator Tillman lectttre on "The Negro Prob lem," but primarily to request Con gressman John Lind, who presided al the lecture, to personally introduce him to Senator Tillman. if-- Baya he >ii<i so by prearrangement with Mr. Hind. But Mr. McGhee's wish was not grat ified. Congressman r^i nil did not in troduce him to Senator Tillman, nor did anybody else. McGhee sat well up to the front In the First Baptist church where the lec ture was delivered. As soon as Sena tor Tillman had uttered the lasl words of his lecture, he turned and abruptly left the rostrum, retiring through a side door. Mr. Lind followed Senator Tillman, but soon emerged from the vestry Into th<- church. Approaching Mr. McGhee, Congressman Lind expressed his re gret that he had been unable to intro duce McGhee, as Senator Tillman was obliged to catch a train for Milwaukee within an hour. Mr. McGhee was se<»n by a O 1 ob (» reporter at his home last night. When asked if he had requested Congress man Lind to Introduce him to Senator Tillman, Mr. McGhee replied: Asked Lind to Introduce Him. "Yes, sir, I did request former Gov. Lind to introduce me to Senator Till man last night, and my reason for so doing was better than at first blush may appear. Did Mr. Lind consent to my request? Yes, sir; why should he not? The matter, no doubt, to one not acquainted with* the peculiarities of the case requires a little explanation. This was the way of it all: I con sider John Lind as one of the very best friends I have In the world, and when it came to my ears that my peo ple were incensed because Lind, whom we (the negroes) consider one of th» very best friends we have among the white people-, was to introduce to the people of Minneapolis a man who openly and blasphemously avowed himself the bitter foe of the • colored race, I say, that when it came to my ears that this was the feeling amona the negroes, I immediately telephoned Mr. Lind and asked him if he was to introduce Senator Tilhnan to the au dience. Mr. Lind replied that, as a rep resentative man and a prominent Democrat, he had been chosen, and could not in honor refuse. I had hoped that he might be able to refuse and that was the reason I 'phoned him. "I knew that is was largely due to the negro vote of Hennepln county that he had received his election, and I did not want to see his chances spoiled again. "Just as I was talking to Mr, Llnd, it occurred to me to ask him if he would feel at all embarrassed if he were re quested to introduce some of St. Paul's colored people to the senator, adding that I had heard the senator had made it-his boast that he never had and never would shake hands with a ne-' gr'o. Mr. Lind said h*» would be pleased to present me to Senator Till man if I wished it, and the appoint ment was made. I was to be at the platform at the conclusion of the speech and be presented to the speak er as usual at the end of th<- speech/ 1 "And you were there tonight, Mr. McGhee?" Heard Tillman Flay Constitution. "I was. I sat there and listened to Senator Tillman say that the con stitution of the United States —the sa cred constitution of the land of lib erty for which hundreds of colored men have fought and died —I sat there and heard him call that parchment "a dirty, filthy, rotten ragr; and we South erners spat upon It and stomped upon It.' And I heard the audience applaud him vigorously. You are not here to hear a criticism of Benjamin lecture, but I must say that It was the most childish and reasonless aggrega tion of words I ever listened to. And this 1 say not as a colored mat, Tut us F. L. M'GHEE. one who Is a fair judge of the com mon laws of pbilosopny and common* sense. 4ii was waiting for the end, and it soon dame after that fierce burst of In vective against the constitution. Sen ator Tillman closed with the words: 'You may paint South Carolina black/ meaning that the negro might be given full citizenship, "but before yon do jrou must paint it i.d with rivers of blood, and when that Is dour- every white man will be In hell and be damned!' With this dramatic sentence Mr. Till man closed his lecture and Immediately lei i the platform for the \ esl ry. [ Btepped up as quickly as i could to be met by Mr, Lind coming out of the vesti y. "'Mr. McGhee,' he said, 'I regret t-i say that it will be Impossible foi to meet Senator Tillman. I am in formed that he must start for Milwau kee within an hour that tie must be there in the morning. I expressed my disappointment and he hastened to as sure me that it v as noi his fault, in deed, l mphasized the fac( thai ha had used every means ot persuasion to endeavor t«. get the Benator to meet Boine people. No, sir. I do no< know whether Mr. Lind told the senator of my desire to meet him, but I rather Imagine tie did not. I don't think Sen ator Tillman knows yet thai I end ored to meet him. ■ "And that's all there Is to It. It was more .-in effort on my part to exonerate John Lind in the eyes of my people than anything else; though i admit it gave me a certain amount of satisfac tion to know that it would \>>- up ta Mr. Tillman,' so to speak." REGULAR TARIFF FIXES EARNINGS Attorney General Decides Re* bates Must Not Be Deduct ed From Gross Earnings. The railroad and warehouse com sion is in recepit of ,-f.i opinion from t»i< : attorney general to the effect that orig inal contracts between railroads nnd shippers are t<< be reckoned In figuring gross earnings instead «»t the net re turns to tlie railroad. The opinion is of very great Impor • and will dispose of a question that has long been under considera tion. Tho case put to the attorney g<i the title of which has not yet been mad'- public" by the commission, ri that contracts have been made with, shippers which provided for a certain compensation according t>> tariff rates, that the return In gross earnings have been made on these contracts after re bate concessions had been madfe. The opinion'of the attorney general is based upon the. fact that the law requires the publication of tariffs and they constitute the legal rate; that any rebate made is in contravention with the law and illegal and that the orig inal contract is ail that the state can reckon with In figuring gross earnings. : The case in question is an old one and it is not contended that there is any present violation at the law in tho matter, of rebates, but the opinion i-> important as it will cover a contention extending back over several years. . _^». West Virginia Officers Upheld. CHARLESTON, W. Va.. March 20.— The special report of the federal grand jury in Judge KeUar'a court was made public this evening. The grand jury i assigns as a reason for making a spe cial report the fact that there had been grave violations of law, ending in bloodshed, and that wide newspaper notoriety, with gross misrepresenta tions, had been given the affair and' great injury done the officers of the court. The report commends the ac tion of the officers of the law that took part In the battles at Atkinsviile and Stanford City, in which several strik ers .were killed.
