MISTAKEN LEADERS.

Both President BYRNEs, of the Min
nesota State Republican league, and
National Republican Committeeman
EVANS aspire to be leaders in their
party. Very probably that distinction
may be properly accorded them. Each
gentleman, in his capacity as leader,
has recently given utterance in the East
to an authoritative statement to the
effect that MinnesOtianS, and Minnesota
Republicans particularly, are ardent
lovers of protection, this being now rec
ognized as synonymous with high tariff.
Each is either suffering under painful
attempt to be consistent with the policy
of his party, or is woefully .misinformed
as to the state of feeling in Minnesota.
At any rate, both are very mistaken
gentlemen. This they might have seen
for themselves had they dropped
in to hear the anti-tariff lect-
ure of Hon. FRANK HURD in
Minneapolis last evening. They
would have seen in the audience many
members of the Republican State
league, and they could not have failed
to observe that these greeted the re-
marks of the speaker with unqualified
approval.
They could have thus easily set them
selves right Oh matter wherein they
are very much at fault. Nothing is
gained to the Republican party by mis-
representing the facts in the case, and
those facts undoubtedly are, to their
credit be it said, that the majority of
the Republicans of Minnesota are as
earnest in their desire for the adjust
ment of the tariff on an equitable basis
as are the Democrats themselves.
In quite disinterested spirit we beg
leave to inform these two very mistaken
gentlemen that continued misrepre-
sentation of Minnesota Republicans in
regard to the tariff will only result in
bringing themselves into disrepute.

with Mexico has enabled these men to
enjoy very profitable monopoly. Nat
urally, then, they are bitterly opposed
to the granting of concessions to Ameri-
cans, and have been doing everything
in their power to prejudice Mexicans
against Americans, and to fOment dis
cord between the two countries. DIAZ,
however, is friendly to America. and
has indicated his willingness 10 enter
tain any reasonable proposition looking
toward the development of more init
mate commercial relations, even though
the preponderance Of Europeans. com
mercially, in Mexico would thus be
destroyed.
The promptness with which Gen.
BRAGG has indicated his desire, as mill
lister, to be something more than a piece
of diplomatic bric-a-brac will be graft
flying to the Northwest, which cordially
approved of his selection. The duty of
this government in the premises is now
clear. Gen. BRAGG should be assisted
treaty to be laid before the senate at
this session. No time should be lost in
opening up the markets of the two
countries to each other.
Haste is particularly advisable since
Mexico is a country of rapid political
changes, and, though the present presi-
dent is decidedly favorable to the ar
rangement of a treaty not would i'll
augurate trade relations, there is no
certainty that he will be continued in
his position Indefinitely. Gen. BRAGG
has made good beginning. His efforts
should not be allowed to fail for want of
support.

LOSS OF LIFE.
The Steamer Rafael Reyes Explodes on
the River Diquie.
THIRTEEN REPORTED KILLED
An Excursion Party on Board the Boat
.--Another Newspaper Office
Burned.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, March 9.-The announce
ment that the boiler of the steamer
Rafael Reyes had exploded near Cartha-
gena, on the river Diquie, Feb. 81, is
confirmed by P. Dennis, of the steamer
Athos, which brought the news yester-
day. He said that ON Feb. %, at l
o'clock in the morning, just as the
AthoS was preparing to sail, a row boat
arrived from the scene of the disaster,
having Mrs. Grau, one of the surviv-
Ors. She is the mother of the proprie-
tor of the Isthmus of Panama (newspa-
per-. She stated that the Reyes was re-
turning from an excursion to small
town, a short distance from Carthagena.
There were about forty persons on
board. On Feb. 20 the vessel ran
aground, and a boat was sent to
Carthagena for assistance. DR.. ParieJa,
prominent physician of that place,
who, with his wife, was on the steam
boat, took charge of the small boat,
leaving his wife behind. The next
morning the captain of the Reyes be-
came uneasy and decided to get the YES
sci off without assistance. He ordered
the engineer to go astern at full speed.
The explosion followed. Mr.. Grau was
thrown fifty feet in the air and his body
horribly mangled. How many were
killed could not be learned, but most of
the passengers are missing. When the
AthOs left relief steamer was prepar-
ing to go to the scene. The steamer
Alva will arrive here about March q
with full particulars. The Reyes was
an old vessel owned by the brother-in-
law of the president of the United States

THE DEAD EMPEROR.

Death had hard struggle to get the
upper hand of the old kaiser, but he
conquered at last. There has never
been an exhibition of stronger vital
force than the renowned WILLIAM of
Germany possessed. Such an exhibit
ton almost converts one to the HAM
MoND theory that death is not in accord
ance with the laws of nature, and would
not occur if natural laws were not VIC
lated. Eulogies and panegyrics on the
dead emperor are out of place. His life
and his deeds constitute many of the
most important pages in European his
tory. No other monarch of the century
has so impressed his individuality on
the occurrences Of the era, OF has eXerted
such an influence on European civiliZa-
ton. The confederation of the various
German states into one grand empire
and the destruction of the NAPOLEON
dynasty in France are the two events
of WILLIAMS career which will make
him most famous in history. So far as
the perpetuity of his fame is concerned,
it will matter but little if he did
shine in reflected light and
owed his successes to the en-
inent ability of Germanys iron
nerved chancellor. 1t is to WILLIAMS
credit that he was not ashamed to lean
on the arm of BISMARCK, nor to seek
his counsel and to be guided by his wis
dom in all matters of state. 1t was
evidence of greatness in the emperor
that he was not jealous of BISMARCK's
superior abilities, but always kept his
great chancellor to the front in German
politics. If the Emperor WILLIAM had
possessed narrow mind, such as is
only capable of petty jealOusies, Ger
many would never have been advanced
to the stage of imperial grandeur that
the nation occupies to-day.
There are those who will be disposed
to speculate as to what effect the de-
mise of the emperor will have on Ger
man affairs and European politics.
This will be an idle waste of time. His
death will not create ripple, nOtwith-
standing the crown prince is in dying
condition. for BISMARCK still lives, and
until his eye is closed in death there
can be no change i'll the policy of the
German empire. 1t matters not what
figurehead may be placed on the
throne; as long as BISMARCK survives
his hand will guide the helm.

BIOGRAPHICAL.
The Story of the Long Life Of Ger
many's Ruler.

many's Ruler.
Kaiser Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig, of
the house of Hohenzollern, was the
seventh king of Prussia, and the first
emperor of the re-established empire of
Germany. He was great grand nephew
of Frederick the Great, of Prussia. and a
liueal descendant OF the founder of the
Prussian monarchy, Frederick William,
of Brandenburg, the "Great Elector,"
who on Jan. Is, 170l, proclaimed him
self King Frederick of Prussia.
He was a son of Frederick
William III, and the celebrated
Queen Louisa, and brother of the pre-
ceding king, Frederick William Nv.
Kaiser William was born March %,
1877, and had he lived all Europe would
soon have been rejoicing i'll the celebra-
ton of his ninety-frSt birthday. He be-
came prince regent in 1858, when his
brother became seized with the malady
which resulted in Frederick Will
JAMS death. In 1861 he acceded
to the Prussian throne. He
was proclaimed German emperor
at Versailles Jan. Is, 1871, so that as
king of Prussia he has reigned twenty
years. He was the fifty-fourth descend
ant of Charlmagne. who was crowned
kaiser at Rome on Christmas day in the
year 800.
Kaiser Wilhelm was practically the
first emperor of Germany. From 1906,
when Napoleon's invasion and victories
robbed the German imperial Office of its
dignity and compelled Francis to retire.
until 1871, the imperial line has broken
by what is known as the third inter-
regnum, which interviewed between the
dynasties of Hapsburg-Lorraire and
Hohenzollern. The Confederation of
the Rhine lasted from 1906 until 1915,
then the German Bund was organized.

SOLDIER AND STATESMAN.
His Early Career Upon the Field
and in Politics.

II
The Emperor William was educated
as soldier, and at the age of seventeen
lie took part in the campaign against
France, terminating in the overthrow of
Napoleon at Waterloo in 1915. He was
a natural politician and statesman. On
the accession to the throne of his brother,
in 1910, he was made lieutenant of vice
roy of the province of POmerania. When
Germany was agitated by the Demo-
cratic movement following upon the
Paris revolution of 1S4S, he was in
March of that year appointed governor
general of the Rhine provinces; but H.
fore entering upon his duty, having en-
cOuntered strong popular opposition
from the part which he bore in the re-
pressiYe measures of the military in
gtiiSe and took refuge i'll England,
Ostensibly ON special mission from the
king Of Prussia to Queen Victoria. In
June, 1849, he took the field as COM
mander of the PrusSian army of inter-
vention against the insurgents of Baden
and Bavaria, whose last stronghold of
Rastadt he entered in triumph the 23d
of July, and in October following estab-
lished himself at CoblenZ in the capacity
of military governor of the Rhine prov
inces. Continuing to be engaged in the
military service of the country, he was
in 1854 made governor of the federal
fortress of Mayence. His coronation
AS KING OF PRUSSIA,
took place at KonigSberg in October,
1861, when he placed the crown on his
own head, declaring that he held it from
God alone. His policy, which, during
the regency, had favored the Liberal
side, was now directed to the aggran-
dizement of Prussia in the maintenance
of a strong military government. This
development of authority and prerOga-
tive was attended by contest with the
popular elements in the chamber of dep
uties. To strengthen the national element
he decreed the substitution of the Ger
man language instead of the French in
Prussian diplomatic dispatches. and in
1862 dissolved the chambers on account
of their resistance to the military ex-
penditure of the government. He
called to his aid Bismarck, summOning
him from Paris.

In a Nutshell.
New York Herald.

NEW lOIh lCIdlu
The new tariff bill needs only to be
plainly understood to meet with univer-
sal acceptance by those whom revenue
measures should affect-namely, the
poor. 1t is the citizen whose one hard
earned dollar means light, fire. bread,
that legislation must primarily protect.
The man with million dollars can pro-
tect himself.
First, we need in order that wages
should be higher and goods cheaper,
cheaper wool chemicals, fibres like jute,
hemp, fax and lumber. We want
cheaper food and clothing, homes at
fair rent, and especially cheapness in
iron, clay and glass.
The proposed tariff bill contempiates
this; not as thoroughly as we could
wish, but still with measurable i'm
provement upon any tariff bill we have
known.
Moreover, in abolishing war taxation
we close the war.

$4,000. The explosion which started

On the Fence.
Madison Democrat.

Madison Democrat.
1t will be amusing to see the Republi-
cans squirm for positions on the fence
now for few months. The Democrats
have got before congress the tariff bill
and the internal revenue bill. The two
are estimated to reduce the amount of
useless surplus about s75,0OO,0OO an
nualIy, and the amount of tax the peo-
pie pay to trusts and combinations
about $3.50. 100000 annually. Neither
bill is anything near what the Republic
cans want. They know the country
will not see any disaster to any legiti-
mate industry IN either bill, and yet
they will break up thousand trusts.
The Republican desire is to support
and defend the corners. combinations
and trusts, but to do that and not en-
counter disastrous defeat at the polls
next November is what makes the Re-
publican politician seek a seat on the
fence.
