ABANDONED.

The Minneapolis Penny Press con-
tains the following:
Frank Davis, Blue Earth county
farmer, about SIS years of age, who
came to Minneapolis some days ago to
find his runaway wife, who had
deserted him about 10 days ago. TAX
ing with her their three chileren,aged
6, and 3 years, returned TO his home
last night, taking with him the child
rem.
Some days ago Mr.. Davis entered
police headquarters and told his story.
1t was to the effect that his wife, a
woman much younger than he, had
become tired of her home life and had
run away, taking the'three children
and considerable property. He was
of the opinion that man accompanl-
ed her, but of that he was not certain.
He had always treated the woman
kindly, he said, land knew of no reason
why she should have fled.
A search was made for the woman
ana yesterday it was found that she
was occupying rooms in the Domestic
block, at 3I8 Nicollet avenue. On
going there, Mr.. Davis found the
children, who, it is said, were suffer
ing from neglect. They said that
their mother had gone out the night
before and had not yet returned.
Mr.. Davis lat once removed the
children, abandoned the search for
his wife, and took the first train for
home.

SENATOR WASHBURN TALKS.
CleveIand's great blunder in the
Hawaiian rlatter-Effects of
the EIection:.on the DEM
OCratic Party.

United States Senator w. d. Wash
burn arrived in the city from Mime
apolis at r11:10 O'Clock Monday and
registered at The Saulpaugh. This
morning he spent some time in the
hotel lobby receiving old acquaintan-
ces and meeting those who desired to
shake hands with the distinguished
Senator. A good many citizens drop,
ped in and paid their respects, and
were greeted cordially by Mr.. Wash
burn.
In chat with FREE PRESS re-
porter, Senator Washburn spoke freely
on the topics now uppermost in the
public mind. Said he:
Il consider that the administration
has made great blunder in its policy
with regard to Hawaii, if the newspa-
per reports are true. The Democratic
party has always gone backward, and
not only in this matter but in setting
it's foot down upon the reciprocity
idea it has acted contrary to the best
interests of the country. Though
Cleveland's course in regard to the
silver question was correct, l never
mad much of an opinion of his states
manShip.
Now in regard to the islands Of
Hawaii, they were ready to drop into
the lap of this country like a ripe
plum. There is every reason why the
United States should control these
islands, andE none why it should not.
All of the steps taken to dethrone
their colored queen were spontaneous,
and the United States had nothing to
Go with working up the case. | have
known ex-minister Stevens for forty
years and he is man to be relied up
on. Born in Maine, he is talented
gentleman, and one who is highly es-
teemed by all who know him. His
account of the deposition of the
queen is to be believed in preference
to that of "My Commissioner" Blount.
The American people will not quietly
permit the old woman to be set upon
the throne again in opposition
to the wishes of the American resi-
dents, who largely control the COM
mercial interests of the islands. The
island are very necessary from STRAIT
agic point ofview, as they archie key to
our oriental frontier. do not know
that we ought to annex the islands or
make a state of them, but we ought
to establish a protectorate over them,
in order to have absolute control of
them for all time to come. Now is
the time to do this, when the islands
are anxious to join US. Any admins
tration that throws aside this golden
opportunity will be swept aside by the
Indignation of the American people.
"The recent election was but the
first step in putting the Democratic
party out of power. The result will
be the same at the next two elections.
One would naturally think that the
election would cause Democrats to
change their course in regard to tariff
reduction, but it is uncertain what
will be done. Whatever they do they
will lose and are between the devil
and the deep sea. Do you think that
there will really be any Democratic
party left after Cleveland's admins
tration?"
Senator Washburn stated that he
was on a trip through the southwest
ern part of the state, as he had not
been in that section for some time.
He left on the 1856 a. m. train over
the Omaha road.
