Chief Secretary Morley Is Vigor-
Ously Denounced.
Cork, Feb. 27.-ln connection with
the visit of John Morley. chief secretary
for Ireland to this country, it will be
remembered Mr.. Morley recently re-
fused to receive deputation of the
eyicted tenants association ON the
ground that the government had de-
cided to introduce a reinstatement bill
during the next session of parliament.
and the evlcted tenants association of
this city resolved to return 10 the prin-
ciples OF the land league, and in addi-
ton appointed yigilant committee
to render more effective the boy
cotting of land-grabbers. Yester-
day green placards were con-
spicuously posted throughout the city
by the Fenian brotherhood. These
placards were headed with the word, in
large type, Amnesty" The placards
declare that Daily and others are slowly
dying in British prisons, and that if
MIR. Morley is not TO be classed as a
British statesman who ''for years has
cajoled us with promises. we ask the
fulfiliment of his promises to release
the political prisoners"
The placards continued: France and
the United States have granted amnesty
to political prls0ners-shall England be
the only nation in the world to refuse?
Speak, John Morley, Irel md demands
an answer. God save Ireland"

more accurate, are the views taken
among other workers. The Chicago
Eight Hour Herald says that "as mat
ter of fact the tariff was never designed
as an assistance for the workingmen,
and it is in but rare instances where the
worker received any benefit from this
source" A meeting Of Cincinnati work
ers recently "resolved, that as wage
workers, we are Indifferent whether 1t
is the Mckinley bill or the Wilson bill.
OF whether il be high tariff or low tariff !;
that. under either system, with the

open to all Europe, it is allowing five
starving men to come here to scramble

result of this always has been and al

Many contradictory rumors have been
in circulation in regard TO the
happenings recently at Bahia. The
fact that the government cut
off Geographic and cable communIca-
tion with that portl gave rise to the
statements that the government fleet at
Bahia had revolted, and that the insur-
gent war vessels, the Aouida5an and
Republica, were off that port with the
Intention of engaging the government
fleet. These rumorS were set at rest to-
day by the United States consul at
Bahia, Il. =. Mcdaniel, who Ielegraphs
here that all is quiet at Bahia. and that
PelXoto's fleet is still in the harbor.

pairing to put to sea on some unknown

MAI. STRAIT.

He was especially popular with the
old soldiers, and was their steadfast
champion during his six years in con-
gress. His death will be mourned by
many.-St. Cloud Journal-Press.
He was genial, wholesouled, upright.
His services to his state and country
were many, and deserve to be remem-

the party councils. Duluth News

The sudden death of Maj. 81. B. Strait

THEM DARN LITERARY Eel,
LERSD

Senator Brice, of Ohi-York is reported
as having defended,in the senate caucus
on the tariff bill, his interview in which
he said that the bill had been shaped by
three ex-rebel brigadiers, all of whom
were idealists, by saying that it was
lmmaterial whether he had said it or
not; the real question was whether it
was true or not.
With all the respect which we are
able to command for the senator from
well, it is immaterial where-we are of
the opinion that even if it is true that
the bill is being shaped by some gentle
men who were rebels thirty-odd years
ago, or that they are idealists- whether
the proposition IS put conjunctiyely or
disjunctively-ha no bearing whatever
on the question.
Senator Brice has that same contempt
which Postmaster General Jewell once
expressed for "them darn literary fell
lers' who were trying to force such
sentimental nonsense on his depart
ment as that the clerks in it should be
chosen for fitness instead of for service
in political way for some local states
man. The senator himself derides SEN
timent. He believes that public, as
we'll as private. affairs should be direct

TREATY OF COMMERCE.
The Reichstag Discusses the
Russo-German Compact.

AHo hOiCnSCag discusses the
Russo-German Compact.
BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The debate Cd the
Russo-German treaty Of commerce was
continued today in the reiehstag. Chan
ceilor Won Capriyi repealed tine attacks
made upon him for concluding the
agreement, and said that he would re-
main in Office SO long as the emperor
pleased to retain him. He asserted that
the treaty met with universal approval
from political point of view and that
its rejection would involve IL contin-
uance of tariff war with Russia. Ae-
cording to Chancellor Won Caprivi,
the commercial treaty served the pur-
poses of peace as we'll as the army bill
and tie dreiDund, and it was the last
link in the chain which commenced
with the Austro- German treaty.
The chancellor reminded the reichstag
that attempts to bring about an eco
nomic reapprochement with Russia had
been proceeding for nearly a century.
and he, the chancellor. had only full
filed promise which Prince Bismarck
made in 1878 that the conclusion of
commercial treaty with Russia should
be effected by himself, or by his sue
cesso. The chancellor declared that
the leading statesmen of Italy and
Austria had expressed satisfaction at
the conclusion of the Russo German
treaty, and stated that rejection of
the matter would mean the severance
of all ties between Russia and Ger
many. Continuing, the chancellor con.
tended that the agrarians only pro-
voked enmity between husbaIdry and
industry, and in discussing the general
policy he said: eve do not care for
martial glory; the only fame we desire
is the solving Of problems relating 10
the social and intellectual improvement
of the people. enabling nations to live
together amicably and preparing the
way for a future time when it may be
necessary to bind together larger
group of nations In great, common
economic policy. By constantly pur-
suing this policy. Germany has raised
her prestige"

this latter position that the soldier best
eexhibits his mettle. In every place, at
ball times, under all circumstances, Capt.
and later Maj. Strait was as brave
soldier as Minnesota sent into the field.
As an instance of this, the following
Incident In reference to his conduct at
the battle of Nashville is taken from
the history of the Ninth regiment. 1t
/ was the afternoon of the second day;
t Hoods forces were in full retreat. The
history of the Ninth Minnesota regI-
ment says:
Mai. Strait. with part of the regi-
ment, was far in the advance Of the
line, chasing considerable body OF
/ Oneatham's men, when brigade staff
officer gallOped up and exclaimed: "My
God, Maj, Strait, you cannot capture
Hoods whole army with that handful
of men!" The gallant major halted,
looked at the rapidly retreating Confed-
crates, and replied: ''No, guess not;
they can run id sight faster than
we Gan!'
Subsequently, at the close of the war,
when Maj. Strait had left the regiment.
the historian said:
There were fewer drawer or more
efficient officers in the army than Maj.
Strait. He was always very popular
with the regiment.
Such was his army record. As a
civilian, he served twelve years in con-
gress, and, although never making a
speech. was the most efficient member
OF congress Minnesota has heretofore
had. As business man he was most
successful, aud accumulated large
fortune.

SALVATION DAwNING.

The Republican Editors VIII
Make an Organization.
Yesterday afternoon meeting of
Republican editors of papers in differ
ent parts of the state was held at the
Windsor hotel, Minneapolis, to take
steps toward the organization of Re-
publican press association. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were present:
Alvah Eastman, ST. Cloud Journal
Press.
Frank A. Day, Martin County SEN
tinel.
C. c. Whitney, Marshall News Mess
enger.
A. N. Dare, Elk River Star-News.
Ii. j. Miller, Rock County Herald.
Elmer Adams, Fergus Falls journal.
Fred Barrett, Vermillion Iron Jour
nal.
One of the editors stated for puDlica-
ton that the object of the association is
political. The action of the joint meet
ing at the Windsor, in st. Paul, of the
executive committees OF the Republican
state central committee and the Repu b.
lican leagues, by which New York
Weekly Tribunes and Chicago Inter
Oceans were to be circulated throughout
the state, was SO displeasing to the Re-
publican editors that the proposition
was withdrawn. Now the Republican
editors propose to organize all associa-
ti0n to publish Republican literature
for distribution in the state. also to de-
wise means of making the Republican
papers more useful to the cause.
Tt was stated that this association
would in no way be antagonistie to the
state editorial association, and also that
it would work in harmony with the Re-
publican state central committee and
the leagues.
The gentlemen present yesterday will
Immediately issue a call inviting every
Republican editor in the state to be in
Minneapolis OH March Is, the date Of
the Mckinley meeting, when it is ex.
pected all organization will be made
and officers duly elected. A programme
for the work of the association will then
be laid out and the earth will begin te
tremble three days later.

Less than thirty seconds elapse and
the convict runs down the middle aisle
of the theater and steps on the stage.

convict is then placed in the second cell,
the shades of which are likewise low

In presenting the "Romany Rye" next
week the management of the Grand

one of the most successful and lasting
of all melodramatic productions OF re-
cent years. The ''Romany Rye" is pre-
sented this season with new and eiabo-
rate stage effects. each stage picture
being illustrated by beautiful scenery.
Probably no play of its class has ever
afforded better opportunity for pict-
uresque effect than This one has. Scenes
that deserve special mention are the

the play itself. which have been recog-
nized by the theater-going public in this
country for the past decade, the coming
engagement will introduce an excellent
cast. The company is headed by Frank
Losee. an actor who has, through his
finished work. made for himself big
reputation. The company open with
the usual Sunday night performance.
and matinees will be given Wednesday
