MIXTURE OF POLITICS.
There are quite a number of prominent
Republican- candidates for mayor, and
each of the gentlemen who would be will
ing to make the race providing the nomi
nation was tendered has more or less
backing. Arranged in the order of
wards the more prominent of the aspir
ants are:
First Ward—C. K. Sharood.
Second Ward—M. W. Fitzgerald.
Third Ward—A. R. Kiefer.
Fourth Ward—W. J. Doanhower.
Fifth Ward—Sidney H. Reeves.
Sixth Ward—George F. Dix and F. B.
Doran.
Seventh Ward—A. H. Lindeke.
Tin- most likely candidate of those men
tioned in the next Republican convention
Is the present chief executive Andrew R.
Kiefer. The friends of the other candi
dates will not admit this fact for a mo
ment when the matter Is openly discussed,
but on the quiet they all fear the re
nomination of Kiefer is as good as settled.
At a conference of some of the ward lead- •
ers one night last week the Kieferites 4'
were very scarce. It was generally agreed
that the only way in which a new man
could be named for mayor next spring in
the Republican convention was to make
a combination. What puzzled the leaders
was the candidate to be combined on.
The friends of each of the aspirants want
ed his man chosen as the one to get the
plum, and this, of course, created con
siderable dissatisfaction.
• * •
The friends of Aid. W. J. Donahower
Insist that he is the strongest candidate,
and that he would, if nominated, sweep
the city on the single Issue of a young
man for mayor. The question of politics,
according to the Donahower champions,
would cut but little figure in the election,
as the young voters ln both parties would
rally to his support. The plan of the
Donahower shouters is to let George F.
Dix down easy by giving him the nomina
tion for comptroller and shelving Capt.
McCardy. In order to catch the Scandi
navian vote the Donahower ticket puts
former Aid. Lindahl on as city treasurer.
• * •
Sidney H. Reeves, at present alderman
from the Fifth ward, also has an Idea
that he would be the proper candidate
for mayor. In order to boost himself along
as the people's candlate Aid. Reeves has
been preparing a 3-cenl. street car rate
ordinance. The measure provides that be
tween the hours of 6 and 8 a. m. and
5 and 7 p. m. patrons of the street cars
will be allowed to ride for 3 Instead of
6 cents. The Fifth ward alderman argues
(whether he believes it or not) that the
street" aailway company can be made to
act epl~-^eh~ an" ordinance, and he talks
earnestly , about •< forcing the company to
accept, a, 3-cent • fare by refusing to grant
any more privileges until such a reduc
tion is accepted. With this ordinance for
a starter, and the support of the even
ing Republican organ Reeves has it figur
ed out that he is near the top in the
mayoralty race.
* * •
A. 11. Lindeke, of the Seventh ward,
while not an outspoken candidate for the
'mayoralty, would not refuse the nomina
tion, and would do all that he could to
bring this result about. Mayor Kiefer,
however, is about half on to the aspira
tions of Mr. Lindeke, and in order to
straighten this kink out will on Jan. 1
next tender Mr. Lindeke an appointment
on the board of water commissioners to
succeed J. F. Hoyt, whose term expires
-on that date.
W. F. Fitzgerald, of the Second ward,
is willing to let his boom for the mayor
alty go along without any effort on his
part. He has it figured out that the talk
about his being a candidate for mayor
will not hurt him in the least some two
years from now, when he will make the
race for clerk of the district court. This
brilliant future prospect, however, de
pends 'upon' the election of Edward G.
Rogers, the- present 'clerk of court, to
congress from this district.
• * *
In the Sixth ward there are two candi
dates. Former Mayor Doran and his
friends claim that he was the best mayor
St. Paul ever had. and point with pride}
to his administration, in comparison with i
the one which the citizens are now en-1
Joying. It Is claimed that Doran was
never fully understood until It was too
late, and that, in the best interests of I
the city and as a matter of vindication,
the next convention should again select j
his as the standard bearer. George F. I
Dix, who at present Is president of the
assembly, Is also a promising candidate
from the Sixth ward. Dix, according to
his friends, is a clean-cut young business
man, well versed In city affairs, with no
political enemies and a host of friends
not only In the Sixth, but all of the other
wards in the city. If there is to be any
thing in the way of a combine to beat
Kiefer the advocates of the candidacy of
Mr. Dlx claim he is the one to combine
on.
Comptroller McCardy is not only look
ing for but expects a renomlnation. An
effort has been made to cast some re
flections on the comptroller simply be
cause he Issued a city order for $119,009
and had It paid by one of the banks with
out any authority from the council. As
semblyman Kirke had a resolution passed
in the assembly directing the corporation
attorney to Investigate as to the legality
of the issuance of the order, but this
was headed off in the board of aldermen
by Aid. Sanborn. The Seventh ward al
derman is of the opinion that there is no
need of making any trouble inside the
party lines, and has promised that the
resolution calling for an investigation
Will be smothered by the board.
It Is now pretty well understood that
Tarns Bixby and Senator Nelson are fa
vorable to the naming of "Bob" Evans
as the Republican candidate for governor
next year. Senator Nelson, as a matter
of course, desires to be returned to the
senate, and he naturally desires the can
didate for governor to came from Minne
apolis. This would, as the night follows
the day, make It Impossible to have any
senatorial candidate from the Mill City
and would make the senatorial race less
spirited.
A number of prominent Republicans
were the guests of Congressman Fred C.
Stevens at a luncheon given at Magee's
restaurant yesterday and occasioned by
the arrival in the city of Congressmen
Payne and Heatwole, returning from an
Alaskan trip. Among those present were

Politics did not figure. in the conver
sation. Instead, Congressman Stevens
extended a welcome to his guests nd
the returned travelers told about the
conditions found to exist in Alaska. Con
gressman Payne was called on for a talk
on the International questions that have
arisen between the United States and
Canada, but refused on the score of be
ing a member of the joint high com
mission. He was, he said, much 'Inter
ested in the future of Alaska, a territory
that is possessed of vast possibilities. A
need existed for a great deal of special
legislation that the congressman thought
would be provided by the next congress.
In special, he believed new laws to be
necessary for the regulation of timber
lands and other natural resources.
The Alaskan trip, It was stated, was
purely unofficial. Others who were ln
the party with Congressmen Payne and
Heatwole were Congressmen Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, Steele of Indiana and Hull
of lowa, all of whom returned by dif
t ferent routes.
Tomorrow night the Lincoln club. will
hold its anual meeting and select officers
for the ensuing year. The friends of Per

little opposition.
THE MAHTOMEDI YACHTS.
Ideal Weather for Racing: and the
- Wind Easy.
The most successful day's racing, and
the most interesting, too, of the Mahto
medl Yacht club, was that of yesterday
afternoon, with a breeze that blew from
light to fifteen miles an hour, and a good
number of entries in the two classes. The
■weather was Ideal for racing, and as the
wind was easy, the light wind boats were
in their element. Three boats did not
finish, two In the cat class and one of the
larks. The Satanta fouled the south shore
buoy on the first round while gybing, and
about the same time the Marguerite broke
her gaff. The magpie filled with water !
shortly after the start and was compelled
to retire.
At 3:55 the preparatory gun was fired,
and nine cats were making ready to face
the starter. Considerable Jockeying was
Indulged in for position, and when the
starting gun went off the Daisy and
Queen had a slight advantage, with the
other boats well up. Going before the
Wind, after turning, the,. Mahtomedi bay
buoy, the Queen showed a clean pair of
heels, and was" followed in order" by the
Daisy, Britannia, Bonnie Castle. Satanta
and Marguerite,,. with the Swallow, Cid
and Mary Chase In seventh, eighth and
ninth positions respectively. There were
no changes on this leg excepting that the
Swallow moved into fifth place and was
steadily closing the distance on the other
boats. The Queen maintained a slight
lead over the Bonnie Castle, which was
sailed by Clarkson, on the leg to Wild
wood With the Britannia third, and close
up. After the Wildwood buoy was turned
there was a general shifting of positions
the Queen, Britannia and Swallow going
on the port tack, while the Bonnie Castle
and Daisy went to starboard. When they
came together in the bay the Daisy show
i ed in the lead for a moment and gave
' H^i V he B°, nnle Castle' She also re
do™ t A PIU a f6W moments- as Commo
dore J. G. Dresen wheeled the Queen into
command. The commodore had given out
a quiet tip that the Queen was about
ripe and he had to make his assertion
good. From that time the Queen was
never headed. But here Is where the ex
citement was at fever heat
The large sails ° the Queen and Bonnie
Castle had a telling effect in, going before
the wind and they soon . had over a two
minute lead-on-the Hfext three boats
which were seven minutes in front of the
Cid and Mary Chase. The Swallow, which
was still In fifth place, came up alongs de
the Britannia and Daisy, and for two
miles it was nip and tuck between the
three boats, making as pretty a race as
over was seen on the lake. They turned
the south shore buoy together, and the
skippers were not slow to take any pos
sible advantage. Tan Duzee was making

• BERLIN, Aug. s.—Although the diet
reassembles Aug. 16, the fate of the canal
bill Is as uncertain as ever. Its chances
have not improved during the vacation.
The center, whose help is vital, Insists
on the passage first of the communal re
form bill, to which arrangement the Prus
sian government seriously objects. The
agrarian opposition remains determined.
Even the fact that the emperor has spo
ken publicly and strongly in favor of the
canal bill makes no difference.
DEWEY'S WORDS.
Admiral Dewey's alleged anti-German
utterances at Trieste are more" extensive
ly commented on in the American than in
the German press. With a few exceptions
the tone of the latter is moderate and
conciliatory. Most of the papers doubted
the truth of the alleged utterances from
the first, citing the admiral's past conduct
and well-authenticated friendly attitude,
towards the German representatives in
the East. The influential Boersen Courier
says: . •. .:'■-//.—-"I
"On the German side no serious poli
tician for a moment has attributed any
importance to this latest canard. Admiral
Dewey Is known, ' from his intercourse
with German naval officers, as a quiet,
thoughtful gentleman, Incapable of giv
ing vent to such Incautious utterances."
The Allegemalne Tages Zeitung likewise
expresses disbelief, adding:
"After all, we need not trouble our
selves about Admiral Dewey's views of
Geripany, prince and German naval offi
cers." •
The Tageblatt repeatedly expressed the
conviction that the whole story Is Inac
curate, and other important papers, like
tho Cologne Gazette, Hamburger Corre
spondent and the bulk of the Berlin pa
pers, said it would be Interesting to know
Just how much and how little truth there
was to the whole story.
SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
The events in Samoa are being followed
with some little attention. The news
that Dr. Solf, the German president of
the council of Samoa, was induced to re
sign, was received with general displeas
ure. Government circles as yet have no
confirmation of the report.
The Cologne Gazette has a special dis
patch from Apia saying the assumption of
Chief Justice Chambers' place by Consul
General Osborne, and Dr." Solf's resigna
tion, must be regarded as an Indefensi
ble relinquishment of Germany's position
and is unjustified by the facts.
The Nationalistic Deutsche Zeitung vio
ently attacks the government for yield
ing and the Vossische Zeitung closest
article by saying:
"The Samoa commission has wound up
its labors. The propositions formulated
are subject to the approval of the pow
ers. Careful examination is the first
requisite for the avoidance of sanguinary

A further sign of the deep interest here
is the number of books and pamphlets on
the question which have appeared within
a month. All the periodical also cStan
articles on the Transvaal question It
seems doubtful, however, whether the
f!T,T^ 0, r government will again inter
fere If things °me to a crisis in South
Africa. it Is currently reported In politi
cal circles that his majesty on the o cca
sion of the visit of Cecil Rhodes to *-
un said:
"The Boers are aSt saving," adding
that they owed their misfortunes to
their own stubbornness," and that there
was no intention on the part of Ger
many to call a halt to England
There has been a great veering round
of opinions In government circles partly
owing to the reports from the German
consular agent at Pretoria. The gov
ernment remains in the mud. the whole
I question awaiting the emperor's return
! During his trip in northern waters the
i emperor has been kept closely Informed
I regarding the changes in the whole mat
j ter and on his arrival at Kiel a minute
I verbal report was made to him. A high
official said to the Associated Press cor
respondent this week:
"It is certain the emperor and with
him Count yon Buelow and Prince
Hohenlohe have become convinced that
to actively meddle in the Transvaal
question at the present stage would be
to stir up a hornet's nest. Germany has
come to the conclusion that It is best
for our Interests to let things take their
natural course."
AMERICA'S BIG NAVY.
A large portion of the press this week
called attention to the "enormous pro
posed Increase" of the American navy.
The Ost Aslatlche Lloyd points out that
America Is now building forty-six war
vessels, and that the construction of
twelve was ordered during the last ses
sion of congress. This, it adds, In the
near future, will give a new complexion
to the far eastern question.
This article has been much commented
upon and a number of papers in close
relations with the government have be
gun a campaign in favor of another large
increase in the German navy. Even the
Conservative Neuste Nachrichten, the
organ of Dr. Miquel; the Prussian minis
ter of finance, strongly insists that such
an Increase Is necessary, unless Germany
wishes to "abdicate the influential posi
tion she has acquired in the East," add
ing:
"Germany must be able to keep up per
manently at least one division of first
class ironclads in the far East." : V;;
The first torpedo boat of a new type has
Just been launched at the Schichau yards.
The fact that a number of small torpedo
boats have been Jost at sea during the
past five years has induced the govern
ment to abandon the smaller type. All
the torpedo boats built for Germany here
after will be sixty-eight meters long,
drawing nine feet of water, and will be
among the swiftest vessels of their class
afloat. They will steam twenty-five knots,
and will have i two funnels and two tur
rets. -Vi ' £=;'-i'>.':
EMPEROR ELATED.

success of his- yaoht Meteor, at Cowes.

The latest portrait of the emperor by the
Polish painter Koslk, who is a favorite of
his majesty and had splendid quarters at
Mon Bijou, is now exhibited at the art

work of art and is much admired.
The first automobile club of Germany

aristocracy are members.
FIGHT BETWEEN SOVEREIGNS.
The fight between the sovereign of
Lippe-Detmold and Emperor William's
brother-in-law, Prince Ernest Gunther,
of Schlesweig-Holstein, continues. The
latest feature Is that Prince Adolph, on
the occasion of his birthday, published
his thanks for the congratulations, which
he claimed had reached him from every
part of Lippe-Detmold, and also publishes
a statement from the editors of the Al
manch de Gotha, that pressure had been
exerted on them from high quarters to
suppress genealogical news regarding the
progeny of the regent of Llppe-Detmold,
and that when they refused a book ln
competition with theirs was issued.
The agrarian press publishes statistics
on the subject of the remarkable decrease
In the sugar exports to the United States
from 303,000 tons during the first six
months of 1897 to 87,000 tons in 1899.
A collective protest against the effects
of the Dlngley tariff bill on German in
dustries has been-«j)resented by the Bund

has been answered by the imperial secre
tary of state for the interior, Count yon

PEPPER FOR FRANCE.
Novoe Vremya Gives M. Delcasse a
Dressing Down.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. s.—Most of
the newspapers here cordially welcome
M. Delcasse, the French minister of for
eign affairs, who arrived yesterday. The
Novoe Vremya, however, throws cold
douches on the Importance the French
papers seek to attribute to the visit. It
says that while, since the advent of the
Waldeck-Rousseau ministry, a great deal
has happened rendering explanations de
sirable, the significance of the visit Is
wholly of a one-sided character, and to
Russia it would have made "no serious
difference If M. .Delcasse had delayed his
return visit and remained at his post,
where he might be better employed in ex
plaining to his colleagues the conduct
which the Franco-Russian alliance de
mands on the part of France."
The Novoe Vremya's ill-humor is trace
able to the supposed signs of a Franco-
German rapprochement, since the first
mention of which the paper has published
a series of articles warning and threaten- >
ing France. ■ ./,' ]

ON BOARD SHERIDAN
THE MINNESOTA MEN WILL TAKE
QUARTERS ON THE TRAN
SPORT TODAY
AT HOME EARLY IN OCTOBER
Ample Room on the Vessel for the
Minnesota and South Dakota.
Troo/p«_Men -Will Be Well Cared
for En Route—New Plan of Cam
paign In the Philippines Ap
proved by Secretary Root.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-War depart
ment officials believe the Thirteenth Min
nesota will embark on the Sheridan to
morrow and remain on board until the
transport sails on Tuesday. For several
days the regiment has been In Manila.
The Minnesota men were doing guard
duty in the suburbs, but when the orders
were Issued for their return marched into
the city.
, Col. Bird, In charge of transportation
cf troops, said that there would be no
crowding on the Sheridan. The trans
port can accommodate 1,800 troops com
fortably. The last reports received from
Gen. Otis stated that the complement of
the Thirteenth consisted of forty-eight
officers and about 800 men. The com
plement of the First South Dakota was
forty officers and about 65C men.
These figures are not quite accurate,
according to Gen. Corbin, owing to the
fact that since this report was received
a number of volunteers ln both regiments
have re-enlisted, and a number have been
tfischarged and sent home in the trans
ports from time to time.
The regiment will be well taken care
of on their journey home. A number of
nurses and hospital stewards have been
ordered to accompany the Sheridan, and
will look after the sick on the homeward
Journey.
On the basis of the time made by the
Pennsylvania volunteers, if the Thirteenth
Minnesota leaves Manila, Aug. 8, as is
now proposed, it will reach San Fran
cisco about Sept. 8. Twenty-five days for
muster out, will carry the time to Oct.
3, and adding to this four days for \ the
trip across the country, it will land In
Minneapolis about Oct. 7, or in ample
time for President McKlnley's proposed
visit to Chicago and Milwaukee. This is
close connection for the president, as the
Chicago corner stone laying comes on
Oct. 9, but it can be made if there are
no mishaps or delays en route.
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Secretary Root, after consultation with
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, . Gen.
Miles and other officials of the war de
partment, is said to have developed a
comprehensive plan for conducting the
war ln the Philippines, which only awaits
the approval of the president before being
made operative. It Is the desire of both '.
the president and Secretary Root that the i
war be terminated before congress as- j
sembles on Dec. 4.
Secretary Root would send to the Phil
ippines 40,000 additional troops, Increasing
the army there to more than 70,000. Thus
35,000 additional troops, authorized under
the army reoganlzation bill, would be
utilized. Every recruiting officer in the
United States, under the secretary's plan,
would be Instructed to enlist all men pos
sible and additional recruiting stations
would be established if necessary. While
40,000 men might not be secured in the
requisite time, that standard would be
kept in view and approached as nearly as
possible.
The secretary would, It is said, relieve
Otis from command of the field opera
tions, but not from his position as gover
nor general. It was Mr. Root's idea,
when leaving Washington Thursday, to
request Gen. Miles to go to ■ the Philip
pines and direct the conclusion of the
campaign. If this Is not found expedient,
after consultation with the president,
Gen. Miles will, if the secretary has his
way, be given full authority here to for
mulate plans for the campaign.
Should it be decided inexpedient for
Gen. Miles to go to the Philippines Mr.
Root's plan is said to be to make a se
lection of field commander from those on
duty in the Philippines. He has in mind
Lawton, Mac Arthur or Wheaton. Failing
to determine on one of these Gen. Mer
ritt would be returned to his old station,
which duty he Is willing to assume. Gen.
Otis has been cabled to enlist all volun
teers possible from those now awaiting
transportation home from Philippines.
ZAMBOANGA EVACUATION.
Report of It From Commander of
Gunboat Castine Made Public.
WASHINGTON, Aug. The navy de
partment has made public a report from
Commander S. W. Very, of the Castime,
containing some refrence to the evacua
tion of Zamboanga, on the island of
Mindanao, and to certain exchanges he
had with the natives. In part the report
reads, under date of Zamboanga, May 30,
as follows:
"On the 24th the Spanish left. I fired
twenty-one guns, Spanish ensign at main
Considerable enthusiasm on board Leon
XIII., all the officers and women applaud
ing, and the soldiers shouting 'viva.' Sam©
day I heard from a steamer, arrived from
Sulu, that out troops are coming, so, al
though I have no orders so to do I de
cided to remain to support their landing
The insurgents moved In immediately
after the Spanish moved out. They have
not yet shown the Insurgent flag.
"Sunday, the 28th, the Princeton ar
rived. I boarded her and gave all the
Information I had to the United States
senator on board. She left at 9 a. m
for Sulu. ,• ; ;
"I received a communication asking if
I would receive a commission of distin
guished Individuals to discuss questions
of Interest to both parties. I replied at
once:
" 'I have your letter of this date ask
ing that I will receive a commission of
persons of distinction of this province to
treat of various questions of common in
terest to both parties. In reply, I take
pleasure to invite one and all of the per
sons of distinction of this province to
call on board the Castine, where they
will be well received. But I have no
authority to make treaties. I have no
right to discuss-any questions which in
your opinion may have arisen between
the two alleged parties. I am here to
obey orders, which are imperative, and
these include prohibition of all traffic
where the authority of the United States
is not recognized and sustained. Until I
see the flag of the United States flying
in Zamboanga. and until I know that the
display carries with it a recognition pf
the authority of my government, I shall
continue to use the power which is con
fided to me to enforce instructions receiv
ed from higher authority.'
"The commission, I presume it is, ar
rived just as I was getting under way to
board this steamer, and they are now
on board waiting to have a talk with
me." '..-■

Gov. Shaw Writes a Spirited Letter
to San Francisco.
DES MOINES, la., Aug. s.—Gov. Shaw
today received a letter from Edward
• Rosenberg, .secretary of the San Fran
cisco labor council, requesting the gover
i nor's assistance to prevent the muster
i ing out of the Fifty-first lowa volunteers
I in San Francisco. In the letter the labor
j leader referred to the fact that boys will
ibe boys and that San Francisco has
[ many evil attractions, the result of which
would be to cause them to remain in
'Frisco and to flood the labor market.
Gov. Shaw mailed a spirited reply, and
among other things he stated in the
letter soldiers will not become "soldier
tramps," nor will they attempt to "beat
the trains," nor will they be "put off
on mountains and in deserts and there
miserably perish. On the contrary they

Winona, March 2, 1599.
DR. A. T. SANDEN— Sir: I bought one of your $20 Belts for
VARICOCELE and RHEUMATISM, of which it cured me In a few months.
The rheumatism was inflammatory and very severe. I shall always try to
have a belt on hand, as it is a good preventive for disease and also a
blood purifier. Respectfully yours, PAUL A. JASMER.
DR. A. T. SANDEN—Dear Sir: I gave your belt a thorough test, using
it about six months, and found It greatly benefited my lame back, and
drove away all the varicocele from which I suffered at that time, hence I
lam very grateful to you for your Interest in my case, and the great cure
which has been effected for me. With best wishes, I remain yours respect

they will be so justly proud as to furnish
a good measure of protection against
what might perhaps overcome weaker
men, with no reputation to maintain.
There will be no check placed upon the
utterances of these men concerning the
cause in which they have been engaged.
If they see fit to discredit it, it will be
their privilege to do so. One of my pre
decessors once said in a public speech:
" 'If you hear anyone utter one syllable
against the government of the United
States, or against the president thereof,
or against the cause for which our boys
are fighting, or do aught in disrespect of
the flag that waves over them, shoot him
where he stands. They may arrest you.
they may try you, they may convict you,
but they shall not hang you. I am gov

"That spirit of patriotism is not dead
on lowa soil, and while heroic measures
will not be necessary now, I am free to
say that no returning lowa soldier need
fear to resent ln any dignified and manly
way any disrespectful utterances con
cerning him or the cause for which he
has voluntarily and heroically risked
his life." ~- ■*„„.,

HOODWINKED GEN. OTIS.
Aguinaldo Now Has an Advisory
Council ln Manila.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—A dispatch from
Hong Kong says:
"Aguinaldo has an advisory council
right in Manila Hong Kong having been
made too hot for the Filipino junta,
through the efforts of United States Con
sul General Wildman, the rebels decided
to attempt to establish their headquarters
in Manila. They were encouraged to try
this daring experiment by the fact that
under a recent decree of Gov. Gen. Otis
the Philippine courts are now conducted
by natives. So Crlsanto Llchancho, the
treasurer of the junta, went boldly to
Manila and professed friendship for Gen.
Otis. The scheme worked so well that
the delighted Junta has celebrated its
victory with a grand ball."
RAPID FIRE GINS.
Gen. Otis Asks for and "Will Receive
Them.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Gen. Otis has
asked for a number of Sims-Dudley guns,
gatllngs and Hotchkiss 12-pounders for
use In the Philippines. All are rapid-fire
guns and are especially adapted for the
warfare that must be prosecuted there.
The ordnance bureau has been very busy
gathering up the guns asked for by Gen.
Otis, as they have been scattered about
the country in different forts and arse
nals, but a sufficient number to meet the
present demand has been procured and
ordered shipped to Manila.
BOYCOTT DENOUNCED.
Cleveland Merchants Take Action
Against It.
CLEVELAND, Aug. s.—About 250 of
the leading business houses have signed
resolutions denouncing the boycott and
these resolutions were adopted at a meet
ing this afternoon. The business agent
of the strikers issued a statement, this
afternoon, in which he says that the
strikers are not back of the boycott
movement. He says they are very grate
ful to their sympathizers, who have re
frained from riding on the cars, but they
are not in favor of using the boycott to
punish people who are willing to ride on
the cars.
This morning's newspapers contained
a statement from Mayor Farley about
"professional labor men," in which no
names were mentioned, but In which the
mayor severely scored the agitators.
This afternoon Peter Witt, a Populist
orator, brought suit for $10,000 damages
against the mayor and each of the two
papers that published the statement,
claiming that the mayor referred to him.
Mayor Farley says he does not know
Witt, and never saw him.

AMES IN BAD LIGHT
Continued from First Page.
resign at once, or to at least defend him
self in a statement to the public through
the papers of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
In reply to this letter I received a tele
gram which read as follows:
" 'Your letter not understood. Write me
fully what Is being said ln Minneapolis
and St. Paul.' "
SOMEWHAT SURPRISED.
"As I had written him fully, I was
somewhat surprised at the receipt of such
a message. I did as he requested, how
ever, and wrote him again. In the sec
ond letter I! told him 'i that nearly every
officer of the regiment and that the of
ficers had joined in a request that he be
immediately discharged. Further than
this, I informed him that the very best
thing he could do would be to resign, and
strongly advised him to do so at once. 1
told him that the papers had little ln re
gard to him. but the time would come,
and ln the very near futture, when every
thing would be made known through tho
public prints. The second letter was sen*
only a few days ago, and I have not,
therefore, received a reply.
"I had Intended to say nothing in re-
gard to these matters, but now that the
matter Is coming out I may as well tell
what I know. I regret, of course, that
there should be cause for anything of this
nature, but feel that the public should
know the truth. Col. Ames should not re
turn to Minnesota in command of th«
Thirteenth, and, I feel sure, will not.
Gov. Llnd's action yesterday in with
drawing the request made to Adjt. Gen.
Corbin will undoubtedly result in the col.
onel's discharge. If it does not, he will
no doubt make up his mind to resign a<
soon as he reads the papers of today."
The men who have fought under him
cannot respect him as a fighter. I saw
him under fire only once. ' That was in
the battle of Aug. 13.- When we were
under fire he ran around behind Capt.
Corriston and, crouching to the ground H
exclaimed: "I don't like this, Frank, I *
don't like this. They're getting too
thick." I know this because I was there
and heard it. He was a thoroughly
frightened man and not the kind to lend
soldiers into action. Much in contrast to
this was the action of Gen. Reeve, then
colonel of the regiment. He was where
the bullets flew the thickest and at no
time did he display the slightest sus
picion of cowardice. Some of us may
have criticised him for imaginary wrongs
inflicted, but no one can say that Gen.
Reeve was not a fighter and every inch
a soldier. If he had remained In com
mand of the Thirteenth he would have
been a Funstor. now and the Thirteenth
would have been enjoying all the honor
and glory which has fallen to Funston's
men."
MESSAGE TO LIND.
After the colonel had left Manila it wa«f
learned by the officers of the Thirteenth
that he was to be discharged Immediately
upon his arrival at San Francisco. Then
came a cablegram from Secretary Alger.'
to Gen. Otis, reading as follows:
Washington. May 22, 1899.—Otis, Ma
nila: As the Minnesota troops will return
scon, it Is the wish of the governor of
that state that Col. Ames shall retain his
place ln the regiment until it is mustered
out. —Alger, Secretary of War.
Gen. Otis at once informed the officers
of the Thirteenth of the receipt of this
message, and the result was the trans
mission of the cablegram to Gov. Lind.
This message was signed by every officer
of the regiment, with the exception of
Lieut. Col. Friedrlchs, who, as the prob
able successor of Col. Ames, did not care
to appear anxious to have his superior of
ficer removed.
