"A Good Report Of the Captain.
at midnight

Captain VIM. McClelland is so nearly
identified with North Dakotas interests
and SO thoroughly conversant with her
resources and needs that when he was
named as a member of the worlds CO.
lumbar commission his friends here felt
that it was almost the same as giving the
state three members. In view of the
fact that the captains influence is ex.
pected to be thrown to help secure North
Dakota the consideration to which she is
entitled, the following excerpt from an
interview that appeared in the Pittsburg
Dispatch of Nov Goth, and which indi-
Gates that he is one of the influential
men of that big commission, has an in
terest for others besides his many per-
sonal friends:
That Pennsylvania men. products and
manufactures will cut a prominent part in
the future of the worlds fair at Chicago,
seems to le the result of the OBJ
servations of Mr.. Leonard Wales, who
returned yesterday from a three days
sojourn in the Windy City.

William Mcclellan" said Mr.. Wales,
captain Mcclellan made such bril-
liant fight for General d. H. Hastings as
director-general that he naturally was
awarded the distinction of making Cen
eral Davis nomination unanimous. Be-
fore any committees we're announced
President Palmer, of the National COM
mission, came to Captain Mcclellan and
asked him upon what committees he de-
sired to serve, as he had shown himself
to be very decent man in the Hastings
Davis fight"
Captain Mcclellan said that he
wanted to be on inst such committees as
was the pleasure of the president. There
had been such terrific struggle for fat
places that Senator Palmer was aston
ished by the Pittsburg mans modesty,
