BKKLIN, Oct. B.—There lias b* n a
great change in German public opinion on
the subject of the retention of the Phil
ippine islands by the United State?. Tae
feeling toward America generally is much
more favorable than a cuuplu of montria
•go.
The now* from the United States that
tiie government at Washington is seriously
contemplating holding the Philippines is
commented upon dispassionately in the
German press, and it is e.gniticant that
this week two papers of such standing as
the Kolnische Z'ltung and the Vomicae
Zeitung have published long letters from
German merchants st tiled in the Philip
pine islands in which American annexation
is strongly advocated. A correspondent of
the Vuss; he Zeitung even vigorously c om
bats Germany mak.r.g any attempt to se
cure a portion of the islands, citing weigh
ty reasons therefor.
Mr. White dots not anticipate German in
terference, directly or indirectly, even if
trie United States insists on retaining the
whole of the archipelago. Pr;vy Councillor
Sc'nwartzensly, formerly of the German
embassy at Washington, declares that Ger
many does not dream of putting obstacles
in America's way. Mr. White had a long
conference on Wednesday last with tiio
German minister of foreign affairs, Baron
Von Uuelow.

GERMAN MERCHANTS FAVOR AMERICAN
CONTROL OF THE PHILIPPINES.
}/* ERLIN. Oct. 9.—A significant fact this week was that a delegation representing
(<$V German and German-Swiss firms in the Philippine islands called at the United
States embassy to express hopes that America would not relinquksh the islands
and above all not return them to Spain, which the delegation claimed would mean a re
currence of the revolution and the perpetuation of commercial troubles. The delegation
also asked if it might go to Paris and lay its views before the United States peace com
mission. The United States ambassador here, Mr. White, advised the delegation not to do so.
Thought clearly the development of the
social sts into a parliamentary body of
practical reform. A feotisre of the congress
Raj the prominent part taken by the
workmen delegates, whose speeches in
nearly every case were of a revolutionary
character. They scouted compromise or
caution.
Renewal of the "ConHlctaselt/*
The cases of the newly elected chief
mayor of Berlin, Kirschner, and Mag.s
trate Kauffman, whose appointments have
not been confirmed by the emperor in the
period in whi?h they should have been con
tirmed. and have lapsed, promise to becoin»
sensational. The emneror, whose sanction
is necessary, objects to the two personage®
named owing to their present convictions.
The Tageblatt says:
"A series of conflicts between the crown
and the municipality, like the so-called
conflictszeit in the early'tkfs, s*<nis inevit

BERLIN, Oct. 9.-A semi-official denial

Looking for Collapse of Turkey.
Copyrighted, by the As; ociated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 9.—The political side of
Emperor William's visit to Palestine is at
tracting cio&e attention here. Germany,
for the past twenty years has had an eye
on A-sia Minor as her part of the spoils
I when the Ottoman Empire collapses, and
the German emperor, since the Armenian
trouble, has obtained a strong foothold in
that part of the world. Germany has ob
tained railroad and land concessions In
: Asia and is generally showing a disposi
i tion to settle those permanently. The En
| glish newspapt rs express the conviction
1 that EmperorWilllam's idea is to fosterthla
i German settlement, and when Turkey col
lapses Germany will justly claim a slice of
| Asia Minor, from the Aegean sea to Ara
i bia. w h«-r.- there is room for 10,000,000 Ger
! man Immigrants, who would otherwise go
1 to the T'nited States or British colonies,
i The Sp« tator points out that Emperor
: William's first idea of Germanizing the
Transvaal, South Brazil and parts of Afri
: ea failed. The pro.i- ct failed in South Bra
zil owing to the dread In Berlin that It
tr,h it lead 'o war with America.
Ti Spectator add. . "If, however, Amer
ica had ! n j-uraiyzed v. -h a European
war, as« enn- i for a few hours possible dur
ing th ■ V nez-aelan dispute, Germany's op
pur';u..'y » • d haw arrived. The question

Revocation of the Order for

In Case Soldiers Are Needed in
the Indian Country He Will
Call for Volunteers.
MINNEAPOLIS. Oct B.—The govern
ment has notified Gov. Clough that it has
revoked the order putting the companies
of the Fourteenth M_ruiesota volunteers.
at I>uluth and St. Paul under his orders
to protect the settlers in tho vicinity of
WaJker. The governor said:
"1 shall pay no more attention to the
war department. If necessary. I will issue
a call for volunteei s, arm them with such
arm.i as I can pick up. and let the govern
ment so to the devil. I uin tired oi do: ng
business with Washington. There is too
much red tape about it. Orders are issued
one minute and revoked the next. I am
not an alarmist, hat it is the safe thlmc
to be prepared. It will rea-ssure settlers,
and perhaps prevent an outbreak."
( louub Kotilies Corbin.
ST. PAUL, Oct. B.—The following tele
gram was seat by Gov. dough today:
"To Corbin, Washington: No one claims
reinforcements were needed at Walker. I
have not been asked for assistance from
that quarter, though 1 do not think Bacon
has won the victory he claims. People
generally tny eame Indians claim they
have w.>n, and that is my opinion. Peo
ple all along the Ko-v own bran 'h of the
Nortlurn railway are very much
alarmed and are asking for assistance.
The soldiers are here, willing and ready
to go, but as you have revoked your order
of yesterday, you can do what you like
with your soldiers. The state of Minne
sota will try and get aiong without any
assistance from the department in future."
Huron Given Instructions.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.—l,'pon receipt
of Gov. Clough's message, Corbin visit 1
the White House and showed it to the
president. An order was sent to Gen. Ba
con. directing him to confer with Gov.
Clough and to station troops along the
line of the railroad, in ij;e vicinity of the
recent troubles, in such manner as w ill
prevent any danger to the people and to
allay their alarm.

LONDON, Oct. 9—The Medical Journal
publishes the report of I>r. Ken. 11. of Paris,
asserting that guillotining doe# not imme

tor says the blood first comes from the
larger vessels of the n«H k, and tin re is
hardly any drain up.»n the circulation in
the cranium. Tha Inain, he adds, finds
nourishment for an hour after decapita
tion, during which time the person decap

smelling and seeing. Absolute death. Dr.
Icemil claims, dots not ensue for three
hours. Thus, it is pointed out, guillotining.
Instead of being speedy, is one of the most
prolonged forms of capital punishment.

Fusion Legislature Was
Worse Than Useless.
NO ACT OF PUBLIC GOOD.
Although in Full Control of Af-
fairs It Did Nothing.

Would lln>c Aided the People.
The fusion legislature rioted In In
this Mate was not only corrupt and in
competent, but it failed to exhibit any teel-
Ing o£ party responsibility or control.
This it a statement which, if true. Is of
thf utmost Importance to the people of the
state at this time. It is Important be-
cause:
First—Th* re must be recognised head
to a party n state government.
Second Members «lected to a state 11K
islature are tn duty bound to enact such
laws at their puny, through Its official
head, advocates.
Third- I.- latur « that fall to carry out
party orders are r< ;■ aid to the.r trust and
fuise to their people.
Fourth- A party that is either unfit or
unable to control Its members in the legis
lature in a menace to public safety, be
sides being lemoralizlng and dangerous to
Die underlying pnuctp.es of the American
republic.
Full Powrr to Reform l.nws.
The fusion party in IS9<5 elected in this
state a full coterie of state officials, with
u govc.iner at taeir head, besides electing
a leg.siature mat t.ot only had a fusion ma
jority Lut enjoyed A Populist majority.
Tms, taken in connection with the fact that
the governor was also a Populist, leaves
the fusion i arty, as well as the Populist
party, alvrolutely responsible for the acts
of the legislature.
Gov. Rogers rt -cognised the responsibil
ity as here outlined, as v well as the duty
devolving upon h - s party under the con
stitution of the state, for In ins first mes
sage to tiie legislature he said:
"You are here to n ake and mend the
laws. The people look to you for relief.
They have elected you with the hope an!
the "belief that you will t>e aide to remove
some of the difficulties under which they
are laboring. This is well understood by
all, and your presence here l» an Implied
no cp tat ee of a most important trust thus
committed to your charm*."
in order further to emphasise this, Gov,
Rogers said:
"S. tion 6 of article 3 of our state cor
n:\tu'- i ;i prov.dca that the governor 'aha it
cownr uiil-Mtr ;«t every fcfslon by nifasag#
To the bjs:3.ature the of the «f
--f ars of the ctue a?, 1 recommend such
me.ieures t hp shall deem Jxpsilitut for

to txi :an; w i t! it the state of \V;;«hing
