London Is Experiencing an Epi-
demic of Influenza.

LONDON. May 2.-Infuenza is spread
ing rapidly in London. Many barris-
tiers and officials of the law courts have
been attacked by the disease. In addi-
ton to members of the house of
lords and house of commons already
referred to as suffering from the cpl
demic, several other members of the
lower house are suffering seriously
from the epidemic. Herbert Spencer,
the English philosopher, is under the in
fluence of la grippe. Mr.. Spencer is
confined to his room, suffering from the
prevalent malady. AT WoolwIch ar
senal so many of the workmen
are suffering from influenza that
the work there is greatly in
terfered with. At Leicester the disease
has appeared in serious form. Num-
bers of people are already confined to
their beds. AT Widnes, Lancashire, in
tiuenZa has developed into a veritable
epidemic of dangerous and peculiar
type. The physicians of that town and
neighborhoOd are working night and
day. At Sunderland there have been
several fatal cases of influenza.

contests of the session Senator Tawney
took leading part, and made strong
speeches OH the income tax bill, the
Davis interest bill, Donnelly's railroad
amendment and the Hompe railroad
bill, which latter he helped to prepare.
Senator Tawney, however, is not now
candidate, although he may change
his mind later. Although a compare
lively young man he has fought his way
upward step by step, and is at present
enjoying large law practice which he
feels that he cannot afford to drop.

On the Republican side in the Sew

defeated last fail, are still hoping for
restoration next year. They are doing
all they can to poison the minds of the

are thoroughly tired of county rings, es-
pecially in the counties that compose
the new Seventh district. Hon. Halvor
STEVENSON, of Crookston. probably the
only Republican who would stand any
show of being elected, is opposed by a
powerful but now considerably broken
county ring that will oppose his nomina-

either case, but said the matter was
such delicate one that the utmost
pains were being taken in preparing
the instructions so as not to trench on

Two Democratic, the Third and Fourth.
Two Republican. the Second and Fifth.
One Alliance. the Seventh.
Two doubtful, the First and Sixth.
Of course there is likely to be a differ
ence of opinion in regard to several of
these districts. but very brief glance
at the political history of the counties
composing these districts will demon
strate that the classification given above
is fair one. No one can predict the
outcome of a tidal wave, but from pres
ent indications the next election will be
very peaceable one. The Alliance
will certainly hold the greater part of
its strength, and in the Seventh district
especially is sure TO elect its candidate
to congress. The Sixth district is close,
and the result will depend to large ex-
tent Oh the labor vote of Duluth and st.
Louis counties. The past history of the
First district proves it to be
politically unsettled. The Fifth
