LONDON, Feb. 25.— The adjournment
of the Anglo-American commission at
has caused a feeling- of
deep regret here, and the optimistic
tone of the British foreign office ex
planation is not reflected by the gen
eral public, although the newspapers,
as a rule, profess hope that the fresh
attempt to reach an agreement In the
autumn will prove more successful.
The events at Manila have been fol
lowed here with intense Interest, and
there has been general condemnation
of the Filipinos' attempt to burn the
town. The speaker calls it a suicidal
policy, which will only injure them
| selves.
A private cablegram received in Lon

FLATTERING TO AMERICA.
An announcement very flattering lo
the United States was made in tho
house of commons, when president of
the board of trade, Mr. Ritchie, prom
ised to Introduce a bill compelling rail
way companies to use automatic coup
lings. Mr. Ritchie in so doing said
that the secretary having control of
the railway department lor the board
of trade, Francis J. H opt- wood, recent
ly returned from a mission to the
United States and. reported highly in
favor of the American system. ' He
showed indisputably that there had
been a great saving of life since the
adoption of automatic couplings on the
American railroads.
MUNICIPALITIES BTLL.
The London municipalities bill, in
troduced in the house of commons on
Feb, 23, by Arthur J. Balfour, tne gov
ernment leader in that house, and first
lord of the treasury, has be;n well
received generally.
The most striking feature is the re
vival of the ancient city of West
minster, which will comprise the whole
of the enormously valuable and busy
area from Temple Bar to Knight
bridge, and from Oxford street to the
River Thames, in which are incluciid*
nearly all the theaters, clubs, govern
ment offices, parks, royal palaces, em
bassies and the aristocratic districts of
Belgravia and Mayfair. It will be five
times the size of the city of London
proper, with five times its population
and it will be a serious rival of the
ancient *city of London, whose ratable
value is £4,450,000, while that of the
city of Westminster Is £4,850.000. The
imperial and social importance of the
new city will be tremendous.
"CAME A CROPPER."
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. af
ter such an excellent start on his new
mount, the Liberal leadership, "came
a cropper" yesterday evening at the
first hurdle. Mr. John Morley, the for
mer chief secretary for Ireland under
the Liberal government, challenged the
government on its Soudan policy by
moving a reduction of the supplemen
tary estimates.
Sir Edward Grey, formerly parlia
mentary secretary for the 'foreign of
fice, rose and pointed out that the
Khartoum expedition was necessary In
consequence of acts to which Mr. Mor
ley, as a cabinet minister, gave his
Then Sir Henry Campbell-Banner
man spoke, tried the impossible feat of
agreeing with both sides of the ques
tion, and ended by voting with Mr.
Morley, who was also supported by Mr.
Labouchere and the front opposition
bench. But over a dozen Liberals, in
cluding one whip, voted with the gov
ernment.
This discussion presents the Liberals
as being in a pitiful condition of divid
ed councils, and the rebuff of Sir Henry
Campbell-Eannerman's leadership is
the subject of general comment today.
JOHN BULL SHOCKED.
The news that the khalifa is gather
ing a host, varying in number from
15,000 to "§O,OOO men, and is marching
on Khartoum, came with a rude shock
to the people of Great Britain who were
under the impress-ion that he was al
most a solitary wanderer in the desert.
Official circles, however, express sat
isfaction at the fact that the khalifa
is apparently determined to make an
other onslaught on the Anglo-Egyp
tian fcrces, as they are confident he
will eapily be defeated. Maj. Gen. Sir
Arthur Hunter, governor of Omdur
man, is quoted as saying:
"I regard the khalifa as a nuisance.
He is no longer dangerous, and it will
greatly simplify matters if he comes
out and fights."
In the meanwhile, detachments of
British troops have been ordered to
get ready to return to Omdurman from
Lower Egypt and a strong expedition
will be formed ar.d advanced to mcc*
the khalifa.
A controversy has been raging over
the destruction of the mahdt's tomb
at Omdurman and the dispersal of his
bones. It is said that the officials, after
the battle, divided his bones among
themselves, one officer getting a finger
nail, while the embalmed head of the
mahdi was given to the late Gen. Gor
don's nephew.
There is considerable anxiety over
the reports of the death of the ameer
of Afghanistan, but up to today the
Indian government had not received
any confirmation of the rumor.
"Dontt's"— From "What to Eat."
The March issue of "-What to Eat" prints
an address to general managers and general
passenger agents of high-class railroads em
bodied in a number of very pertinent
don'ts."
Among other things It says: "Don't run
like Helenblazes for an hour until you are
ahead of time and then come to a stop at
a station and stand there till the passengers
begin to look out of the window to see If
there's a wreck ahead. Comfort in traveling
comes fromjhat steady-going pact that lulls
the senses and soothes one instead of excit
ing and Irritating him."
"The passenger takes the sleeper to sleep
—to rest. Give him all the opportunity possi
ble He will be grateful— he will remember
It— he will speak of it to other prospective
passengers and so It will pay."
"The three most desirable things about a
passenger train are safety, speed and com
fort." To a careful and strict observance of
all and many more of "What to Eat's "
"don'ts," the C. M. & St. P. Ry., for in
stance, owes Its unfailing popularity with the
traveling public. On its Pioneer Limited
train between the Twin Cities and Chicago
(the only perfect train in the world) the pas
senger obtains every possible comfort.

Continuing; for l-'i.ur Days— St.
Paul Always Haa tbe Indorse
ment of tbe Head Consul of tbe
Order — -Work Will Secure Plum.
The city development committee of
the -Commercial club has made a report
regarding the national convention of
the Modern Woodmen to be held In the
month of June, 1901. The /convention
is composed of from 400 to 500 delegates
fram the various state camps of the
Modern Woodmen. This organization
has an aggregate of not less than 350,
--000 and this number will probably be
increased to 400,000. by the time of the
convention .in 1901.
This convention will be attended by
a large attendance of general members
of the order and their families. It is,
in fact., the biennial outing of the or
der and basing their calculations upon
former attendance to the national con
vention the committee figures that the
convention of 1901 will probably be at
tended by at least 50,000 to 60,000 dele
gates and visitors who will come from
the Northern states, remaining in the
city from four to six days.
The central committee of all the St.
Paul camps of this order are agitating
this matter of securing the convention
for St. Paul in 1901 and are very ac
tive in their efforts in that behalf, and
have already secured the indorsement
of civil organizations for this end, and
the head counsel of the order, who
visited St. Paul last year and was
tendered a reception by the Commercial
club, has given his indorsement to the
movement.
The St. Paul Modern Woodmen com
mittee desires the co-operation of the
Commercial club along the following
lines for the securing of the conven
tion:
First— The Pt'pointment of a delegation from
the club to attend the national convention,
which will be held In Kansas City during the
month of June this year.
Second— The securing of reduced rate;* for
railway transportation for the various dele
gations which are to go from St. Paul to
Kansas City.
Third— For securing from the Western
Passenger Agents' association the lowest pos
sible rates of transportation to the conven
tion of 1901, if held in St, Paul.
Fourth— A suitable souvenir of St. Paul, to
be presented to the members of the conven
tion at Kansas City and to be distributed
among the members of the order for the pur
pos? of setting forth the advantages of St.
Paul a.s a convention city.
In addition to the proposed delega
tion from the Commercial club, the
state camp of the National Woodmen
win send thirty delegates and the St.
Paul camps about fifty, and they desire
a delegation from the Commercial club
to be as large and active as possible.
The city development committee most
heartily commends the efforts to secure
this national convention and it recom
mends that a committee of five be ap
pointed by the board of directors to
confer and to co-operate with the local
committee of the Modern Woodmen for
the purpose of carrying the above rec
ommendations into effect.
In accordance with the last recom
mendation the following committee has
been appointed: John Caulfield. chair
man; J. B. Joyce, C. W. Hornick. Judge
O. B. Lewis. Judge Gebhard Willrich.

SECT TO PEST HOUSE
GEORGE BENTON'S DISEASE DE
VELOPS INTO A CASE OP
SMALLPOX
MYSTERY WHERE HE GOT IT
Health Authorities Have No Line on
the Present Source of the Disease
Dr. Miller Thinks It Would Be
Wise for the People to Get Vac
cinated Doenn't Anticipate Any
Outbreak of the Disease.
The suspected case of smallpox at
167 West Seventh street, not 167 West
Third street, as originally reported,
where George Benton, a colored barber
has been ill for several days, developed
yesterday to be genuine smallpox and
Benton was removed to the pest house.
Mrs. Benton and her sister-in-law, who
were taking care of the sick man, are
under strict quarantine at the house.
A policeman ts constantly on guard at
the door and no one is allowed to enter
the place.
According to Acting Health Com
missioner Miller there is no mistake
about Benton having smallpox, but
the case is not regarded dangerous as
yet, as Dr. Miller says Benton seems
to have but a slight attack. At the
same time so virulent is the disease,
in any form, that it is readily con
tagious and it was concluded that the
only safe measure was to isolate Ben
ton at the pest house. Benton was re
moved in a conveyance which Is under
the care of the health department and
used for no other purpose.
Mrs. Benton and her sister-in-law
are immunes from smallpox as Dr.
Miller says both of them say they ha\ c
had the disease, but nevertheless they
will be kept In strict quarantine the
specified length of time and every pre
caution will be observed to fully stamp
out the disease.
There seems to be no explanation as
to how Benton contracted the disease.
Dr. Miller has endeavored to trace its
origin in the Benton case, but cannot
ascertain how or where the colored
man may have been exposed to small
pox. The only other case in the city
is that of iho Italian, Antone Vacca,
who was removed from the Upper flats
to the pest house several days ago. It
is said that Benton has been nowhere
near the flats. Vacca is improving.
With a lack of all knowledge as to
the origin of these two cases, it would
not be surprising if more cases should
make their appearance before the dis
ease has been stamped out. Benton,
up to the time he was taken sick, was
doing business in his barber shop and
came in contact with a good many
customers daily. Still the health au
thorities think that is possible without
his having communicated the disease
to any of them.
It is equally possible that the same
source which communicated the dis
ease to Benton himself may have com
municated it to others.
. Dr. Miller said yesterday that he
would advise vaccination In all cases

where people had not been vaccinated
for a number of years.
A large per cent of the school chil
dren of St. Paul have been vaccinated
within the last; two or three years or
so, but all children, except babies,
should have the vaccine applied to
their arms at this time. This, the doc
tor thinks, would be wise in adults,
too, although he does not anticipate
any spread of the disease.
It may have nothing to do with this
case, but it is within four weeks that
a colored man, who had been in St.
Paul, was down with smallpox in Mil
waukee.
CONCERT FOR A. 0. U. W.
To Be Given at Market Hall Mght
of March 10.
A concert, for which an especially
fine programme has been arranged, will
be given the evening of March 10 at
Market hall by the A. O. U. W. ad
visory council of Ramsey county. This
organization is- composed of delegates
from the local lodges of A. O. U. W.
and D. of H.. and has but recently been
perfected. Its objects are of a charita
ble and benevolent character, its espe
cial aim being to unify the local lodges
along lines looking to the general wel
fare of the great parent order of A. O.
U. W., which with the D. of H. (wom
en's auxiliary) have reached in- Ram
sey county alone, an aggregate of over
six thousand members.
The entertainment projected for
March 10 is being prepared for by a
standing committee of the advisory
council, consisting of the following per
sons*. R. M. Canr>on Jr.. Mrs. Bunker,
Mrs. Heron. Miss O'Neill, James H. Mc-
Nally. Among the vast number of per
sons who have volunteered to assist
with the programme are the following
talented artist**, all well known, not
only to St. Paul people, but throughout
the entire Northwest: Miss Millie Pctt
gieser, Miss May Huffsmith. Miss Fan

The Mystery of the Magnetic Needle.

One of Russia's innumerable? mysteries la
the erratic behavior of the ;r-"is"-eti? needle
in many pa: ts cf the great cmoire. T.:e

seems to take a par-titular delight in refusing
to pcint mirth tor the subjects of the i-i u r.
French r.nd Russian soieottsta have reoently
been investigating this subject in the vast
central "lain bnween Moi.g-t and Barakov.
The greatest aberrations were found in the
province of Kursk, the capital town of which

the deflection is over 96 deffree? the needle
standing almost perpendicular and pointing
nearer east r-r.<3 west than nor'h and south.
This reversal of the magnetic fcrces may
have some curious effects. A number of new
railways are building in that region and
engineers are interested In finding out
whether the durability of their lines will sus
tain the long accepted theory that these rails
last best which are parallel with the mazrietlo
meridians. As these run east and west over
a considerable part of Russia, it will be the
north and south lines that first show sizr.s
of wear, whereas suc-h lines in other coun
tries are the more easily maintained in repair.
