G. o. Daily followed and spoke of
his many fine and humane qualities.
Said he was literary man from his
training and read much from the best
authors and always turned with pleas
ure to the classics. He was man
who loved everything that pure and
uplifting, and, turned from the de-
basing and obscene. Said he owed
much to the friendly interest and
kindly advice of Mr.. Freeman, and it
was hard to think that he had crossed
the dark river for his voice keeps
ringing in my ears. His disposition
was most kindly and while not a
wealthy man, he was always ready to
respond to the call from the helpless.
Blue Earth county never had a kinder
hearted man nor more generous soul
within it's borders than was Everett
P. Freeman.

principles laid down. He was modest
and unassuming but was yet an i'm
preSsive debater and convinced his
hearers of his sincerity. He would
have made a great and just judge,
and had opportunity offered would
have won distinction as jurist. In
legislative halls he was ever faithful
to his trust and his wise counsel was
at all times listened to by his associ-
ates. He was always true friend
and none will say that he ever con-
fdence betrayed. He is gone from US
and is sleeping his final and dreamless
sleep, while his friends and associates
are left behind with heads bowed in
grief. But this cannot be all. HUI
manity revolts at the idea that all
has gone and asked if we shall see
him again, whether supported by the
Christian faith or by the remem-
brance of love we answer with the
poet,
81 have asked that dreadful question of the hills
That look eternal of the flowing streams
That lucid flow forever; of the stars,
Amid whose field of azure my raised spirit
Hath trod in glory; all were dumb, but now,
While thus gaze upon the living face,
feel the love that kindles though its beauty
Can never wholly perish. We shall meet again. F"

B. d. Smith said it was his good
fortune to be intimately associated
with Mr.. Freeman, during the period
he was preparing for the bar, and
found him pure, great, noble, mod
est, conscientious, charitable and for
giving man. During those three
years of intimate relations be grew to
love him well, for the many traits
mentioned. Mr.. Freeman was learn
ed lawyer, understanding thoroughly
the underlying principles of the law.
He understood well it's ground work,
and had rare ability in finding out
and sitting the proper precedent for
the case in hand. When others had
often searched in vain for the authori-
ty wanted he would step to the shelves
and place his hands at once on the
book wanted. He knew the value of
presidents and how to apply the

A TRIBUTE.
Paid To the rlemory of e. p. Freeman
by His Associates.

At the memorial exercises held by
the district court Tuesday afternoon
in honor of the late e. P. Freeman,
short addresses were made byBMessrs.
Flittie, B. D. Smith and Daily follow
ed by Judge Severance, whose address
we gave yesterday. Following is a
synopsis of the other addresses. After
the reading of the resolutions by Mr..
Cray, Mr.. J. A. Flittie made short
address in which he said that the
memory of him they had met to do
honor today had no need of eulogy.
His life was it's best monument. He
was an honor to the bar, well versed
in legal lore. He was honorable in
every respect and was always most
kind and helpful to those just COM
mencing their career in the law as he
himself could well testify to from his
own experience. He was well read
having drank deep of the best
thoughts from the best minds of the
world. He was just and upright in
all his dealings, and his was life
spent in building up, not in tearing
down. He had his faults and foibles,
who has not, but he will be loved for
what he was-for his many noble and
kindly qualities, for he was every inch
man. His religion was broad; he
was to himself completely true, and
to others always just. They could
but wish him life eternal and full
ness of it's joys.

GETTING THE CASH HERE,
China Negotiating With Some
American Capitalists for
a Loan.
Indemnity for Japan May Now Be
Secured in This
Country.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2o.-It is
reported that negotiations have been
recently opened for China to secure from
American capitalists the amount of silver
requisite to pay the Chinese war indemnity
of 20O,000,000 taels to Japan. At the
Chinese legation in this city it was said
that the negotiations had not proceeded
through the Minister, but through agents
in China for the American interests, and it
was not yet known what conclusion had
been reached.
The indemnity is payable in Chinese
taels, equal to the Mexican dollar, which
is now worth about So cents in American
money. 1t is understood that the pay
ment will be made in silver bullion, the
tael being used only as a measure of the
amount.
The names of the Americans interested
in the negotiations could not be learned at
the Chinese or Japanese legations. 1t is
understood, however, that John w. Fos-
ter, who is expected back in Washington
in few weeks, will bring additional par

REACHING THE CLIMAX.
Developments in the Great
Battle of the Whisky
Trust.
Attorneys for the REORGANIZATION
Committee Expect to Secure
Victory.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 20.-The climax
in the whisky trust legal battle which has
been waged for several months was practi-
cally reached this evening in Judge Sho-
walters court at the conclusion of the ar
guments on the petition of the reorganiza-
tion committee of stockholders for a sale
of seventeen distilleries and the Peoria
headquarters coupled with the offer of
$9,S00,000 for that part of the property.
While the Federal Judge who has taken
the place of Judge Grosscup in the case
did not say in SO many words that he
would enter a decree providing for the
sale of the distilleries, he intimated as
much, and did say, after hearing all the
lawyers representing the many interests,
that he would consider the matter of the
order promptly and render his decision,
which will probably be Saturday.
The reorganization lawyers here, Levy
Mayer and ex-Judge Moran, were iubilant
and felt so confident that an order would
be made that they telegraphed their New
York clients to that effect They regard
the granting of the petition as the most
substantial victory won so far, and think
there will be smooth sailing now. By ex-
pecteu autnorlZuIlon tney expect TO place
the property bid for in the hands OF
the reorganization committee. The order
of sale will provide for advertising thirty
days, and if no bid in excess of SO, 800, 600 is
received at the SALE the receiver will trans
fer the bulk of the estate to the stock
holders, who practically own it now.
The court will require of the purchasers
that they make all claims of creditors a
prior lien on the property.

shrewdness, the silver men made the most
aggressive fight of the convention for the
principle they represent.
The report of the subcommittee which
was before the convention was simply
statement glorifying the Republican party,
scoring the Democrats and reaffirning all
past platforms both of party and of league.
The silver men fought this and three or
four of them made ringing speeches.
c. E. Allen OF Utah said in so many
words that the miners of the West did not
"point with pride" to the Republican
party because they felt that the party had
been for more than twenty years radically
wrong in the tariff and they did not point
with PRIDE to the leaders of the party be-
cause these were Reed, Allison, Mckinley
and Harrison and last of all John Sher-
man, and the miners of the Western coun-
try were thoroughly satisfied that these
men were wrong on the silver question
and always had been. Senator Carter OF
Montana and B. L. Carr of Denver also
made ringing speeches.
In spite however, of the fact that logic
and right were on the side of the silver men
it was soon apparent that the South and
the East would never be committed to free
coinage. The Western men next turned
their attention to the adoption OF substi-
tute resolution which had been introduced
by Senator Patton of Michigan, fair
minded man, though a monometaIllst,
which declared that the constitution of
the National Republican League gave the
league no right to do anything III the way
of platform-making and expressly SO
stated in clause forbidding the influenc-
ing of party conventions in any way. The
Patton resolution merely affirmed faith in
the party and expressed the determination
to stand by its leaders.
The Western men declared they had far
rather have blank page to show their
people when they went home than the re-
port of the subcommittee reaffirming past
party platforms obnoxious to the West.
They won, to their great delight.
Colonel Trumbo and Mr.. Gosper of Cali
fornia, General Sampson of Arizona and
other Western leaders were assured by
Eastern men that the victory was one of
the greatest in the history of the league, as
the silver element had forced the league to
acknowledge that it had no right to de-
clare itself on any party policy in advance
of the National convention.
The convention this year shows great
deal of encouraging silver sentiment in un-
expected places.

DELEGArES At Il BANQUET.
Toasts in Happy Yein Suitably Re
spOnded To.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 20.-The 1900
delegates to the convention of the National
Republican League of Clubs were treated
to banquet by the local league members
tonight. The mammoth Arcade building
the largest structure of its kind in the
world, extending through from Euclid
avenue to Superior street, was the scene of
the fete. The interior decorations were
beautiful. They were made up of vari-
colored electric lights and bunting and
tropical plants effectively arranged.
The absence of Mckinley, Depew, Ingalls,
and several other of the big guns of the
party who were expected to be present,
was somewhat discouraging to the local
committee, but the good spirit that per-
vaded everything about the banquet-hall
made up for the absence of the leaders. 1t
was nearly IL o'clock when cigars were
lighted and James Hoyt, the POSTMASTER,
called the guests to order. Governor H.
Clay Evans of Tennessee was the first
speaker. He spoke to the toast: "Our
Party and the New South"
Senator Burroughs of Michigan spoke to
the toast, "Pertidy and Dishonor and
Political Integrity
D. D. Woodmansee was heard on "The
Republican Party" and speeches from
others who were called upon kept the
banqueters together until after IL o'clock.

CAUSES MUCH COMMENr.
Permission Girem for a Meeting In, a
Federal BstiTdin0,

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 2o-Con-
siderable criticism of the Treasury Depart
ment officials was heard to-day because
permission had been granted the so-called
sound money men in San Francisco to
hold meeting in the Federal Courthouse
there. Their request was received at the
Supervising Architects office, and was re-
ferred to the Secretary of the Treasury,
who granted it, provided the cost of light
and other expenses were borne by the peti-
tloners. Critics of these Government Off
GERS declare that no such permission should
have been granted; that it was wholly un-
authorized and uniusti6able; that it was
the first time permission to use the United
States Courthouse for partisan purpose
had ever been granted, and that if such a
request had been made by silver men it
would have been refused in all probability.
