| brought to the attention of the dominion
government, and thatit had Immediately
ordered a rigid police investigation to
learn all the facts, and to locate the
responsibility on the guilty individuals.
| TORONTO, Ont, May 25 Several Of
ficers Of the Queens Own regiment
were seen tonight with reference to the
| outrage upon the American flag in st.
| Thomas. They all denied knowing
anything of the affair. One of them
| said: 'If it be true, it is certainly a
most regrettable occurrence, aud can
only be excused on the ground that the
| perpetrators must have been intOXi-
| Gated"
A private of the regiment who was
| not so reticent,and who was an eye wit
| ness of the affair. said: Yes. it is true.
The American flag was pulled down.
After supper about forty of the regi-
ment marched up street, when one
espied the flag floating out in front of
drug store. Several went in and re-
monStrated with the proprietor for
| showing the American flag on the
queens birthday. and asked, or rather
ordered. him to take it in. lie refused
| to comply with the request. ana imme-
| dlately some of them made a dash for it
and tore 1t from its fastenings, and left
| il lying In the street. They, am sure,
had no idea that it was the American
consuPs Office, though"
The incident has caused quite SEN
sation in military and other circles in
| the city, and the action oftthe hare
Drained perpetrators is strongly con-
demned.
ST. THOMAS. Ont, May 25. = The
American flag was destroyed by some
members of the Queens Own Rifles, of
Toronto, while under the influence or
liquor. Some other members of the
regiment who were in the crowd pro.
tested against the outrage, but were
unable to prevent their excited COM
panious from carrying out their inten-
| tion.
Lieut.. Smith. D. G. A., apologized to
| United States Consul Willis for the act,
but Mr.. Willis would not accept the
| apology and notified the heads of his
department at Washington and Ottawa.
| The incident is looked upon here as
merely the result of too much whisky,
and while it is generally deplored by
the citizens it is hoped nothing serious
will result.

CITY BILL POSTING.
c. II. GriebeI Wants An Ordinance Fol
His Protection.

; For some time G. II. Griebel has
been making an effort to secure pro-
lection in his business of bill posting.
He has been before the city council on
several occasions, and he has also had
his case before Judge Severance, but
so far to no purpose.
1t is understood, however, that an
ordinance is being framed to be intro
duced at Saturday nights council
meeting or the one following which
will establish a license fee for the
work and secure for Mr.. Griebel the
protection which he is SO much in
need Of.
| Mr.. Griebel stated to FRER PRESS
reporter that he is in serious doubts
about the passage of the ordinance,
after ALL He states that some of the
members of the council have all along
been opposed to the scheme for no ap-
parent reasons, and he expects the
utmost difficulty in getting a bill
through during the life of the present
body.
1t has been suggested that the coun-
ell establish license fee of $50 to S75
perannum, which would be sufficiently
large to keep out the people of our day
who stick up their paper and are gone.
Mr. Griebel has the ''cinch" on the
business SO far, for he has covered all
the preferred boards and dead-walls
about town But considerable en-
ployment is given out through his
business, and the money goes to peo-
pie whose interests are in Mankato
and Mr.. Griebel wants the city to
stand by him and give him little the
best of it over transcientS who have
no interest whatever in MankatO's
welfare.

MANKATo FREE Prs
WILL FOLLOW McCLEARY'S
OUTLINES.

a Washington dispatch to the Min
neapolis Journal of last evening, in
referring to financial matters, says:
Last winter, Congressman McCleary
of Minnesota, took the first step
toward the establishing of a none
tary commission. 1t attracted some
attention at the time, but, as the
Minnesota congressman was compare
lively a new man. and as he comes
from state not particularly impor-
tant.in the consideration of the tinan-
cial committees of the house to war
rant the advancement of McCleary to
financial leadership, his bill was lost
in a pigeon hole. Now, however, it is
reported that the president has deter
mined TO recommend "A commission
on the lines laid out by McCleary. 1t
is the opinion of some of the ablest
financierS in the country that non
partisan commission, with powers to
shape the financial policy OF the
country, would prove of inestimable
value in establishing and maintaining
the national credit.

NEW WARSHIPS
greSS to Authorize Their
Construction.
HIS ANNUAL REPORT MADE.
Three Great BattIeShipS and a
Dozen Torpedo Boats Rec
commended.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The most
important recommendation made by
Secretary Herbert in his annual report
is that congress authorize the construc-
ton OF three great battleships Of about
10000 tons displacement each, to cost,
exclusive of armament, not exceeding
$4,000, 900 each, and IL torpedo boats of
from 100 to 800 tons each, at the discre-
ton of the secretary, to cost not ex-
ceeding an average of $4,000.
Since his last report five splendid
ships have been added to the naval list,
three of which are capable of speed in
excess of q knots, while two of
them are the feetest cruisers in
the world, The five vessels are
the Marblehead, Columbia, Olympia,
Montgomery and Minneapolis. One
important change of naval policy is
noted in connection with the advertise
ments for three new torpedo boats,
soon to be issued The secretary says
that no speed premiums will be allowed
on these boats; that the premium sys-
tenn undoubtedly had it's advantages
when adopted, but the department is
now convinced that the time has come
when, with the experience gained, it
may with profit be abandoned.
In conclusion the secretary submits
estimates for the next year, aggregat-
ing $27, SS5, 9I4, exceeding the current
appropriations by So, 4S5, 1913, caused
mainly by the necessity Of paying fol-
vessels now under contract. 1t is
stated that after this year the appro.
priations on this score will rapidly di.
minish-falling from $13, 259, 1913 next
year, to $3.50. 900 in the following year.

THE TAVARY GRAND OPERA.
The Grandest operate Combination
That Ever Visited rlankatO.

The FREE PRESS desires to modestly re-
gagement of the Tavary Grand English
Opera company, booked for the Mankato
Theatre December 6th is by all odds the
greatest operate company that ever visited
this city, and it was by the merest accident,
you might say, that Manager Saulpaugh
secured them. They had three nights
fill these Mankato, Sioux City and Lincoln,
Neb., we're finally selected for one night
stands The seats in Mankato, if the COM
pany was not forced to put in the night on
account of long distance between points,
could not be purchased for less than So. 90
each. In fact, the manager said he could
not, under other circumstances, come here
if he could get guarantee of every seat in
the house being occupied at that figure.
At Sioux City and Lincoln the pick of
seats bring $500 while here Mr.. Saul
paugh secured the concession of the man
ger of the company to sell the best for
S1,5o Thus our people get lower price
than those of either Sioux City or Lincoln,
and this fact should aid in getting out a
big house.
Mr. Saulpaugh has already received
orders for over $50 seats from parties out
side. ST. Peter, LIE Sueur, Eagle Lake,
Tanesville Waseca, Madison Lake, Lake
Crystal, Madelia, ST. James. Mapleton
and other towns in this locality will be
largely represented and Mankato should
turn out enmasse.
We desire to impress upon the public
the important fact that the same cast will
appear upon the stage in Mankato as in
St. Paul or Minneapolis.
The opera of III Trovatore" will be
presented complete and elaborate. 1t will
not be cut in the least, as the company
have special train for their own accom-
mediation and will not leave Mankato until
about o'clock on the morning following
| their engagement here.

THE PEOPLE WANT REST.

In well considered editorial the
Pioneer Press of yesterday shows how
out of place are the chickering's of
those Republican papers which are
telling what the Republicans of the
Fifty-fourth congress should or should
not do upon the tariff question. 1t
shows that the recent election was
simply rebuke to Democratic meth
DDS, and also to their threats of con-
tinued tariff agitation: that the Re-
publicanS have not yet secured COM
plete control of the government, and
that it would be much more wise to
secure full control than to engage in a
fruitleSS discussion of what the Re-
publicanS of the Fifty-fourth con-
greSS shall do in the matter, when
they have not the power to carry any
thing to completion.
The position Of the Pioneer Press is
sound. What the people want now
is period Of quiet that they may, to
a certain degree, at least, recuperate
from the strain of depression which
Democratic incompetency forced upon
them. The Democratic press has
taken up the question of what the
Fifty-fOurth congress will do, in hopes
that they may, in some way or other
create diSSenSion within Republican
ranks. But it is not question which
should occupy the minds of Repub-
licans at present. The Republicans
stand for protection Of American in
duStries, OF that there is no doubt.
And if in 1896 they secures control of
the presidency and congress, there
will be no difficulty in arranging the
details in accordance with the desires
of the people. AS the Pioneer Press
well says, the first aim of every Re-
publican should be to secure COM
plete Republican triumph in 1896.

A great deal has been written about
"ships that piss in the night" and a
very ordinary book bearing that title
seems to have caught the popular
fancy: but as much sentiment may
attach to trains that pass in the night.
They are freighted with human be-
ings. each of whom, wrapped in Slum-
Der. represents an individual mystery
There are many such, especially on
the Saint Paul 81 Duluth Railroad, for
the Duluth Short Line, as this route
is more generally known all over the
country, is the peoples popular short
line between the Twin Cities and the
head of the lakes, and carries thou
Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior
and other Northwestern cities, where,
at the finest of terminals, close con-
nectionS are made with trains run
ming in all directions. The Duluth
Short Lines trains are always made
up of the latest and finest equipment,
and run swiftly at hours convenient
to the general public, the journey be-
ing comfortable, almost luxurious.
The route lies through a picturesque
region, where there are fine opportu-
mites for investment, SO that the
Saint Paul 81 Duluth Railroad enjoys
deserved popularity by reason of its
facilities, service and location. Maps,

WILL MANkATO BE REPRE-
SENTED?

Early next month the National
Municipal Reform League will meet
in Minneapolis, and will be attended
by some of the ablest thinkers and
speakers upon the subject Of munich
pal reform in the country. An i'm
pOrtant subject at any time, it is
doubly so at the present time when
the cities of Minnesota are deeply in
terested in the subject of charter
framing, which will come up before
the legislature at its session next
winter.
While the work before the league is
supposed to apply more directly to the
larger cities, yet a vast amount of in
formation may be gained which will
prove valuable for cities the size of
Mankato. 1t would seem, therefore,
that it would be a very good scheme
for this city to have one or more rep
resentatives present at the sessions of
the league to obtain what knowledge
possible on the subject.
Inasmuch as the city attorney has
taken steps to secure joint action on
the part of the cities of the state of
the class of Mankato to look after
their interests in the framing of gen.
eral charter, it would be especially
proper TO take steps to obtain all the
information possible on the subject.
1t may be said that the twin city pa
pers will publish very full accounts of
the doings of the league, and no doubt
they will, but good and complete as
these may be for the general informa-
tiOn of the public, they will not com
