A telegram received in Qjand Forks this afternoon from
Albert Lea, Minn., where the grand council of the United'
Commercial Travelers of Minnesota, Nortli and South Dakota
is in session, announces that the delegates in convention this
morning voted upon the place of the next annual convention
and selected Grand Forks for the 1907 meet.
The fight to secure the next convention was between
Grand Forks and St. Paul and the selection of this city will
be met with hearty good will.. Grand,Forks' citizens will
show the travelers that they are masters in the art ftf enter
taining, having learned something in this line since the
United Commercial Travelers last assembled here in annual
convention in '94. That was before the days of street paving
in this city and the maiij thoroughfares were in such a condi-~
tion as to be impassable. Third street was roped off and traf
fic stopped between DeMers and International avenue. The
delegates amused themselves by inciting the street gamin in
indulging in "muck raking," the reial genuine blue mud being
used. Purses Were offered to the boy that fought the best or
became the most unrecognizable.
iGrand Forks is now in excellent shape to handle large
conventions, with her numerous fine hotels and points of in
terest.
Much credit is due the delegates from Grand Forks coun
cil, U. C. T. for their successful efforts in securing the next
convention for this city and especially against so able a com
petitor. The local delegates were Harry E. Payne, Terry Mc

Delcasse to Visit U. S.
Paris, June 9.—America will have an
interesting visitor this fall in the per
son of Theophlle Delcasse, the former
French minister of foreign affairs who
is a warm admirer of the United
States, its institutions, and its people.
M. Delcasse, like numerous other
French stateman of the present, day,
began life art poorly-paid school
teacher. He Is the most consistently
democratic public man in France to
day. Every detail of his appearance,
manner, bearing, habits and his par
ticular sort of eloquence proclaims
this fact. He cares little for applause,
and less for the mere superficial
dignity of office. The ^subtler graces
and finesse of the diplomat which are
wanting In him he replaces with
natural tact and fine good sense.
Thees qualities were brought Into
strong relief by the Fashoda affair, in
which it fell to his lot to'conduct a
retreat that was as: inevitable as it
was humiliating to his countrymen,

FORUERS
His Former Stand on the State
hood Bill Will Probably
t. Defeat Early Action.
By G, C. Snyder.
Washington, Junt 9.—The house of
representatives, which has been some
what unruly about statehood matters,
has finally concluded, through its
statehood conferees, to accept the pro
position adopted by the senate during
the last congress, allowing a vote to
be had in Arizona and New Mexico
on the question of jointure at the same
time a vote is cast for state officers,
Nov. 6th. The senate conferee^" agreed
to this arrangement and made a report
to the senate.
Senator Foraker has given notice
that he will oppose the plan and try to
send the bill back to conference in the
hope, no doubt, that the house will
give way so as: to admit Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as one state,
leaving Arizona and New Mexico out
indefinitely.
The proposition agreed to by the
conference committee is identical
with the amendment offered by Mr.
Foraker in the last congress and ac
cepted by the senate, and his op
position .to/ it now Is a great surprise
to many. By some it Is believed that
Mr. Foraker prefers to embarass the
house and the president rather than
to accept his own amendment of a
year ago.
Senator Hansbrough, who has all
along opposed the house bill, says the
agreement of the conferees in favor
of the old Foraker amendment is a
fair one and that he will vote to adopt
the report If the report is defeated,
inthe senate the house will feel that
lt:has been snubbed beyond endurance,
and it Is not likely again to proffer
the olive branch. The result mAy be
that there will be no action on state
hood at this session, and the whole
matter will go over to. next winter.

Floods in Montana Seriously
Delays Passenger
Traffic.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
St, Paul, June 9.—General Manager
Horn of the Northern Pacific railroad
said to the Associated Press today
that up to 11 o'clock, owing to high
winds in Montana, wire conditions
were such that very little definite in
formation concerning the trains which
are held up by floods could be ob
tained. "What we have," said Mr.
Horn, "assures us that although our
trains are held up by high water, no
injury had been done to any of the
trains, and aside from the inconven
ience of being, delayed the passengers
are comfortable and we are taking
care of them there.
"We had a washout east of Glen
dive, Mont., and got that, repaired and
another on Hart river, east of Bell
field and we fixed that up when the
water rose and flooded about two
miles of our track. Now It is simply
a case of wait until the rain stops and
the water will go down very quickly
as it will drain off. It has been rain
ing hard out in Montana for three
weeks and the ground has had more
rain than it could absorb and flooded
us out. The Great Northern officials
say their reports show that the weath
er has cleared and a number of small
washouts will be repaired today. They
expect the line to be open this after
noon."
Mr. Horn said to the Associated
Press this afternoon that trains would
be running at Bellfield at midnight.
The Hart river had dropped two feet
at noon today and the water was fast
receding. The rains have stopped.

The new Christian Science temple
is one of the most remarkable church
buildings in the United States and is
the largest church building in Ameri
ca. It has been completed at a cost
exceeding $2,000,000. An idea of its
size may be had from the statement
that it contains a mile and a half of
pews, seating 5,000 persons. The tem
ple occupies a commanding site in the
Back Bay district, just off of Hunting
ton avenue.
The architectural style of the tem
ple is Italian renaissance. The ma
terials are granite, marble and Bed
ford sfone. The extreme height is
224 feet and the mammoth dome is
82 feet in diameter. The interior is
with plaster for the great arches and
ceiling. The staircases are of bronze
and marble, and the lighting fixtures
are of massive bronze. The pews and
woodwork are of polished mahoganv.
Everywhere that conditions would al
low it pure white marble has been
used, and at every point where art
makes it permissible the sculptor has
enhanced Its beauty. On the two-,
grand entrances the architect has
placed the most lavish adornment.
Both of these are surmounted by
Byzantine domes.
The great organ is placed behind a
reader's platform. It has an archi
tectural stone screen and is an im
posing feature of the interior. There
is also an echo organ. Thisvorgan is
said to be one of the most perfect
in the country.
Notwithstanding the temple has a
seating capacity of 5,000, it early be
came evident that the building would
be present at the dedication. It has
therefore been decided to repeat the
dedicatory, service six times tomorrow,
so that a total of 30,000 will be able
to attend.

Mrs. Kinnan lived with her mother
