ed. -y T }■"'*'?!
The annual synodical sermon, delivered
In the morning by Rev. P. J. Sward, was
listened to very atentively. by ( a \ very
large congregation. Dr. Sward Is the eld
est member of the synod, and the ser
con v was- the last he will deliver in
America, as he has resigned his pastorate
ai Omaha, and will leave shortly for
Sweden. In the afternoon Dr. Sward read
his annual report as president.of the
synod, detailing the growth of the church
from a very few to 700 congratlons with
300,000 communicants. A number of points
were raised, among-them the necessity of
a change In the constitution of the clause
prohibiting pastors from engaging in oth
er vocations. It.was also pointed out that
the present system of calling the pastors
by the churches Is deficient. Of the, 25
--cent communicant fee. $15,431.10 has been
collected, and forwarded to the treasurer.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
report a committee composed of one cleri
cal and one lay. member from each con

FIRST SERGEANT SIMON, OF COM

There Has Been Much Sickness, .Es-

* Mustering* Out."in California.
Edward R. Simons, the first sergeant
of Company C, Thirteenth regiment, ar
rived in the city yesterday from Manila.
Mr. Simon was given his discharge on
account of disability, and left the Philip
pines March 25 on the steamship Grant.
He recuperated his health during the
voyage and is quite himself again. Ho
gained forty pounds on the way over.
"When I left Manila," said Mr." Simon,
"there was positive assurance that the
regiment would embark for the United
Slates June 1, and from what I learned
at 'Frisco I think the chances for the
regiment's early departure are very good.
The transport Sherman, which will bring
the boys home, will arrive in Manila
within a few days, if, indeed. It has not
already reached its destination. I was
forty- five days on board the ship, but
came by the way of Japan, which ac
counts for the unusually long.passage.
: "When I left there was from sixty to
seventy fighting men in each company,
but. quite a number have been given their
discharges since the recent ruling of the
attorney general of the United States
that all volunteers are entitled to dis
charge upon making personal application
has been taken advantage of by quite a
number. These boys are on their way
home now, and quite a number will be
due here within a very short time, on
the next transport.
"1 feel that I cannot say too much of
the bravery of Maj. Robinson. After be
ing wounded at Tonda on Feb. 22, his lip
wound partially healed and he went Into
the field again. He was taken with ma
larial fever, and when I loft he was alter
nating between a few days in the hos
pital and a week or more in the field
when he would be compelled to come in
again. He is certainly a brave and gal
lant officer and deserves all the credit
that is given him. * During the engage
ment on the night of the 22d Maj. Robin
son did not make known the fact that
he was .wounded until after the engage
ment, when the men were ordered out
of the trenches. During the night the
rate of the battalion rested upon him
and he brought the men victoriously
through with only four of our fellows
being hit. ..-.:-
h« The people at home will never know '
how sick some of .the boys have been,
as the ocean voyage home will do much
to restore them to health" It w« a pe
culiar circumstance that- the big robust
men. who had the strong constitutions,
were the ones that were the sickest The '
small members of the regiment who
never boasted of constitutional superior
ity were the ones .who-were continually
on duty, and seldom on sick report. Mrs ■
Bean is at Manila and has been very kind
to ,the men; indeed, I- know of several
cases where sick men have been taken to
Maj. Beans home . for nursing, and .she"
has s nee her arrival been ready to do.
.anything in her power for. the soldiers
I would not attempt to express an
opinion as to .what the decision of • the
regiment-. will be in regard to the muster
out place. There must of necessity be *
some difference of opinion, but, for mv
0,7t n«-? a£' * w^P ref be mustered,
out at San Francisco and secure" the ad- "
ditional travel pay.-and rations allowance .
I know many of the: men-feel the : same i
Yes, I am glad to get back* to Minne
sota, and the boys now at Manila are
anxiously waiting for, the time when they
can-see the Islands sinking on the west
-em. horizon. However, not a man wants
to come back until his full duty has been
done and the Islands left in charge of
regular United States troops. I think
when the regiment comes home as a body
It will include about 700 men and officers
The regiment has -been through a very
hard campaign, and at times has been
scattered along the railroad and through
the brush for miles. We have lost some
of-our best officers and men and during
certain periods of service were engaged
in continuous skirmishes with the na
tives.
. I know nothing -ot the whereabouts
or Col. Ames, except that It seems to be
the general Impression that he is now on
his way to the United States. A great
many promotions have been made from
.the ranks, and some" of the men who
went away as 'non-coms' will come back
on the commissioned staff, and many that
went away as privates have been ad
vanced to corporals and sergeants."
BODY OF TAGGART.
War Department Orders Its Imme
diate Return to the United States.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Ass:stant Sec
retary Meikeljohn today cabled Gen. Otis
to ship at once the personal effects and
body of Taggart, a private in Company
F, Thirteenth Minnesota, to Mrs. Tag
gart, his mother, 118 Seventh street North
Minneapolis. The case Is a rather pa
thetic one, acording to reports received
here, and the Post tomorrow will have a
long article setting it forth in detail. The
cablegram to Manila cost the government
$45.
Young Taggart, it is understood, was
the only support of his aged mother. He
left home in high spirits, promising to
distinguish himself and come home a
hero. Immediately upon landing at Ma
nila he .began collecting curios, and at
the time of his death had a large number
of these. A number of letters were sent
to his mother regarding them, and she is
anxious, to secure them. She has writ
ten several long letters to the secretary of
war, telling of her troubles, her love
for the dead boy, and how good he was
always to her. Accustomed as the war
department is to these things, and hard
ened as Its officials become, Mrs. Tag
gart's letters touched everybody who
read them, and Mr. Meikeljohn said the
mother should have the body and all her
son's personal effects if it took-the whole
arm of the government to bring it about.
PHILIPPINE RECRUITS.
An Unlimited Number to Be Enlisted

CHICAGO, June Capt. P. N. Bomus,
of the army recruiting station, in this
city, has received instructions from the
war department to _ enlist an unlimited
number of men for service In the Philip
pine islands. The order to Capt. Bomus
reads as follows.
, "Acting secrtary of war directs that
you make your general efforts to secure
as many suitable white recruits as pos
sible for infantry, : cavalry, light and
heavy artillery in the Philippines. Men
, should be carefully selected, and upon
enlistment sent to San Francisco. Tele
graph this office promptly the number of
each arm thus enlisted by you to June
10, and continue such enlistments until
further orders."
Over sixty thousand recruits have been
enlisted and sent West since Monday.

... < . HOUSE COMMISSION , /
EMMONS FOLK-GET! NO DEPOT
They Will Still Have to Goto Nor
man or Twin Lakes to Board Pas
"-'-senger Trains—Bis Batch of De
.'. cision* Handed Down Yesterday
by the State's Hla*he«t Judicial
. Tribuna1.......... . „\/-..'.. :
The supreme court yesterday did some
thing unusual In reversing an order of tho
railroad and warehouse commission on
the ground that it was unreasonable, al
though Justice tick dissents from the
opinion of. the majority of the bench,
which Is signed by Justice! Mitchell.
. The 'commission, ordered the Minneapo
lis & St. Louis road to put in a station
at -Emmons, just this side of the lowa
line In Freeborn county. The people pe
titioned for" it on the ground that they
either had to go live or six miles, to Twin
Lakes, Minn., or go to Norman, just over
the line in lowa, about a miio from Em
mons. Emmons is not an incorporated vil
lage, and Justice Buck dissents from the
court in its ruling in this regard. The
majority holds ! that tho term village as
in the law it is used jin connection with
the 'term borough, which is always used
to designate a corporate body. Justice
Buck, however, cites Webster's unabridg
ed and Andersonn's dictionary of law to
show that a "village" need not bo Incor
prqated to entitle it to the protection of
the law. !.___,_
Justice Buck thinks that the people of
Emmons are therefore entitled to their
station, without. crossing the state line,
but the court holds In the majority opin
ion that it would be unjust to require
railroad companies to build double sta
tions wherever they cross state lines.
The argument that people are compelled
to go across the state line to board trains
the court disposes of with little con
sideration. "We have. been led to as
sume," it remarks, "that lowa is a civ
ilized community, and that people who
go there are accorded the protection of
laws equally beneficent .with our own."
The.syllabus of the decision.ls as follows:
State of Minnesota, ex.rel. Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, • respondent, vs.
Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad Com
pany, appellant. - - ■:-. , ..-.,..
Syllabus—Laws 1897, chapter 94, provides
..that all railroad companies"4 shall pro
vide at all villages and boroughs" on
their respective; roads, depots with suita
ble waiting rooms for the protection and"
accommodation of passengers' and freight
rooms for the storage and portection of
freight.
Held, that the word "village" must be
construed as referring only to incorpor
ated villages. :. • ,; ..
7 The facts considered and held riot to
justify an order of the railroad and ware
house commissioners requiring - ; the de
fendant to.build and maintain a passen
s?l*-.™810.11 at an unincorporated village"
of 100 inhabitants situated in a strictly
rural and agricultural part of the state
and within seven-tenths of a mile of an'
existing passenger and freight * station.
The fact.that the existing station is sit
uated across the .state . line ; in. another
state is, in and of itself, no reason for
requiring the 'defendant to build * and

CABINET. SESSION.

d 4» Discussion. -..-'-."..""'""■£,.'
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The cabinet,
in connection with the possible necessity
of enlisting a force. of volunteers today,
discussed - a : plan for the enlistment of
several skeleton regiments in Manila,
from among the volunteers who desire to
remain in the service, and the" subsequent
filling out of these regiments with re
cruits enlisted in the country. Gen. Otis,
according to the plan, will be given au
thority to '-select the officers who are to
be mustered ,out. The plan, which com
mends itself to the" favor of the mem
bers of the cabinet generally, would form
a nucleus of veteran officers and men,
seasoned to the climate and familiar with
the work to be done. Such a force, leav
ened with veterans, doubtless would bo
Immeasurably superior to "a force of, raw
recruits, undisciplined and unacclimated.
The plan was only discussed in connec
tion with future contingencies, and did
not! reach the stage' of completion. i f

IS THE VETO VALID ?
QUESTION AS TO WHETHER MAY
OR KIEFER DIDN'T HOLD
777^- . ..' THE ORDINANCE" "''••'"""
ONE DAY OVER THE TIME SET
One Part of the Charter Says Five
„ Days, Sundays; Excepted, ,'; the
Other Puts en the Five Days*
-.Limit, but Says- Northing- About
*/'^Sundays—May-Be- passed Over the.
'■ " yeto, Anyway.
The point is now, made by those Inter
ested in the Cedar street inteurban loop
ordinance that the measure, has become
effective and operative by the* failure of
the mayor to return the same to the city
clerk within five days after it was pre
sented to him : for approval. r In this event
the ordinance lacks 'only official publica
tion and acceptance by the , company 'to
make it.a. contract with the city. ,If, as it,,
is claimed, the ordinance has ; become a
valid one owing to the mayor not return
; ing it with his veto within 'five days ; then
i it Is all on account of the hodge-pcdgs
I compilation of the present city charter.
Chapter 3 of the charter, section 2, page
19, relating to the duties of- the mayor,
says: * * " ''7:}7-
All ordiances ana resolutions- shall,
before, they take effect, be presented .to
the mayor, and if he approves thjreaf Is
shall sign the same; and such as he shall
not sign he shall return to the cammon
council, with. his objections thereto, by
depositing the same with the city clerk
to be presented to the common council
at the next meeting thereafter. •-. •-.• If
any ordinance or resolution shall not be
returned by «he mayor within five days
(Sundays excepted) after it shall have
been presented to him. the same shall
have the same effect as If approved by
him.
The ordinance was. sent. to the mayor
June 2, at 3:30 p. m., and as stated in the
Globe' yesterday, was returnd to tfcs
city clerk with a 1 veto message Thursday
afternoon shortly before 5 o'clock. Some
question was raised as to whether the
five days were, not up at the exact hour
of 3:30 on Thursday, but Corporation At
torney Markham quotes the general stat
utes of the state on the point, the law
providing that in the computing of time
within, which an act is to be done the
first day shall be excluded and the last
day included.
If this section of the charter is of force
then Mayor Kief veto is all right, but
there Is some question as to whether the
act passed by the legislature in 1891 codi
fying the charter did not repeal the sec
tion above quoted. In passing what is
known as the Bell charter that portion of
the charter relating to the duties of the
mayor were amended and on page 33, of
the compilation of 1593, is the following:
If any order, resolution or ordinance
shall not be returned by said mayor with
his signature to said city clerk's office
within five days after it It has been pre
sented to him, or shall not b3 returned to
the body in which it originated, as afore
said, or to said clerk, with the objections
of said mayor for said body, the same
shall become operative in like manner
as if he (said mayor) had signs! and
approved the same.
. This last amendment. It Is held, repeals
the section of 1874, in which Sundays are
excepted from the five days In which the
mayor . had to approve resolutions or or
dinances, and, if this point. Is sustained,
then the mayor's veto was one day too
late, and the ordinance became operative
without his signature Wednesday night.
M. D. Munn, attorney for the street
railway company, refused to discuss the
matter last evening, saying that he had
not conferred with either President Low
ry "or Vice President Goodrich In regard
to the ordinance.
- Several members of the council stated
that the street railway officials had can
vassed the council and had received as
surances that the section providing that
the track be laid five feet west of the
center line of the street had practically
been nullified in the ordinance by the
amendment which gave the council tho
right, by a three-fouths vote, to order the
track removed from the street whenever
It was deemed necessary.
If, as it is claimed, the ordinance be
came operative by reason of the mayor
having allowed the five days to elapse
without affixing his signature or vetoing

locate and construct the track as pro
vided for in the ordinance, and this will
necessitate the track which has been laid
being taken up.
. From one of the street railway officials
it is learned that the only reason the
track was not laid as provided in the
ordinance was that the property owners
on the west side of Cedar street objected
to the track being laid except in the cen-.
ter of the street, and threatened injunc
tion proceedings if an attempt was made
to place it anywhere else. ......:" • "■£»» t.i
, In; certain, quarters it is claimed that
the veto of the mayor was nothing more
or less than a grandstand play to catch
votes, and a number of. the politicians
who are opposed to the administration
will listen to no other explanation. The
business men, it is said, will at once
commence an agitation and bring pres
sure to bear ori the members of the coun
, ell to force the ordinance over the vets
of the mayor, on the ground that unless
the company can use the street the grads
expected from the new line will not ma
terialize. Usually' it takes but a two
thirds vote to pass a measure over a
veto, but Corporation Attorney Markham
holds that In this case it will require the
same number of votes to override the
veto as it did to pass the ordinance,
which was a three-fourths vote of each'
body. i - - *

(Street Railway Difference* Settled-*
-:'-' Prisoner From Porto Hit-... ,*.':
The differences existing between owners
of the Seymour street property and the
Twin City Rapid Transit company, rela
tive to the North Third street line, were
amicably adjusted yesterday, and there is
no hindrance in the company's way.
First Sergeant John Harris, of Com
pany B, Eeleventh United States regu
lars, and Private Henry Brady, of Com
pany E, of the same regiment, arrived
yesterday morning from San Juan. Porto
.Rico, having in custody Rafael Ortiz, the
native Porto Rican. sentenced to the Still
water prison for life for the murder of
Private Burke, of the Forty-seventh New
York volunteers. They arrived over the
Milwaukee road, having made the trip
from Porto Rico In eleven days. Sergeant
Harris said they had no trouble with the
prisoner. They allowed him as many
privileges as possible while en route, but
his inability to. speak English made it
almost impossible for them to ascertain
his desires. In speaking of his case.
Sergeant Harris said that It was general
ly understood from press accounts that
the murder was committed because Burke
had alienated the affections of Oritz's
sweetheart, but he says this Is a mistake.
Oritz claiming that the woman was his
wife. Ortiz Is of small stature and very
dark, but has an intelligent looking face
and is not homely. He was given per
mission to rest at the prison yesterday
after his long Journey, and today will bo
: assigned to work for the state. Sergeant
Harris said they made the trip on the
United States transport McPherson, and
landed at New York on June 7. having
spent one day at San Diego en route.
Sergeant Harris left last evelng for
, New York and will spend a four months
furlough with his parents and other 'rela
tives In New York. Philadelphia, Wash
ington and other Eastern cities. Private
Brady will rejoin his regiment as soon
as possible, going by way of New York.
The hearing of .B. A. Wallace on a
charge of. having assaulted Eddie Swain,
has been continued until next Thursday-,
owing to the absence of witnesses.
