ADJoURNMENr OF CONGRESS-.
Many Members Anxious to Get Home

Washington, April 21.-An early ad
journment of congress is regarded as a
political necessity by many members of
the House, and especially by those from
the south who voted for the repeal of
the Sherman silver purchase act. Some
or these gentlemen have already been an
prsed of the fact shat their opponents at
nome are endeavoring to secure their de-
1eat because of their position on that
measure. Members who voted thus
and who represent outlying, or what is
known IN the south as ''piney woods dis
trlcts." are having the most trouble
They complain that the isolation of their
constituents puts them beyond the reach

MRS. HALL AWARDED $500.
Gould's Friends Advise Him to Pay
Up and Drop the Case.

Atlanta, Ga, April 21.-Mrs. Selma
Cole Hall was given a verdict for $1,000
and cour5 costs against E. T. Gould to-
day. Both sides, strange to say, take the
verdict as a victory. Mr.. Gould's law
yers claim to have come out of the case
with flying colors, because of the small
amount of damages awarded. On the
other hand, Mrs Hall and her friends
take the verdict as a complete vindica
tion of her character, inasmuch as the
whole case rested upon the truth of the
charges against her reputation contained
in the libelous newspaper card, upon
which she based her suit against Gould.
The general opinion is that Gould got off
very light, and it is understood that his
friends urge him to drop the case wnere
it is without taking further chances on
another Jury.

AMERICANS IN HAWAII.
Those Taking Part in the Government
Can't Demand Protection.


Washington. April 21.-President Cleve-
land sent to the Senate this morning a
further instalment of Hawaiian CORES
pondence, the matter being of the great
est Importance to the American
citizens on those islands. The CORE
spondence contains letter from Minister
Willis, in which he tells what the oath is
that the citizens Of Hawaii are requested
to take before they can become voters.
This oath binds them to allegiance 10 the
provisional government, and pledges them
TO oppose the restorationof the monarchy.
In reply. Secretary Gresham notifies
Minister willis that the United States
does not recognize the doctrine OF per-
petual allegiance, and those American
citi ems now on the islands engaging in
Hawaiian affairs will probably not have
the right to demand the protection of the
United States.

HIS WORK WELL DONE.

In the rush of other matters since
election, the FREE PRESS has neg
lected to speak of the local conduct
of the campaign, which was under the
management of Mr.. w. w. P. McCon-
nell. Mr.. Mcconnell started in at the
first to conduct a clean campaign, and
adhered rigidly to his determination
to the last. Every feature of the
campaign was carefully looked after,
and all the weak places noted. Near
ly or quite his whole time was given
to this work, and it is safe to say that
stronger campaign was never made
in Blue Earth county. The usual can
vass which is made by the various
candidates on the ticket, was supple
mented and strengthened by the Sc
ries of meetings which he arranged
for, and his scheme of working in a
large number of local speakers was an
element of strength which cannot be
we'll overlooked.
Then he discountenanced from the
first any movement which might lead
to the advantage of another, and
made everything tell for the ticket as
a whole, and his efforts were reward
ed by the success of the entire ticket
by good pluralities and majorities.
In short the campaign was just
such manly, straightforward, clean
campaign to the finish, as everyone
who knows Mr.. Mcconnell, knew he
would make when it was first known
that he had been selected as chair
man of the county committee, and it's
result as clean sweep for the Repub-
licans after such hard fought con-
test, is result which will doubtless
remain source of satisfaction to him
as long as memory remains fresh and
green.

judgment and in accordance with the
expressed wishes of their constitu-
ency. When they have discharged
this part of their duties he, as we'll as
every other true Republican, will be
entirely satisfied.
So far as the delegation from Blue
Earth county is concerned, it will go
to st. Panl to battle for the return of
Senator Washburn in accordance with
the expressed demand of the nomi-
mating convention. Mr. McCleary, as
resident of Mankato and Blue Earth
county, approaching the obligation of
our legislative delegation and true to
his high sense of honor, gives it out in
his manly and vigorous way of ex-
pressing things, that he is not a cam
didate for United StatesO Senator.
His statement is sufficiently explicit
and straightforward to satisfy all
friends, and settle the matter.
