ways.
D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, vas to
go to China to take responsible po-
sition in connection with the intro
duction into the exclusive country Of
modern facilities of transportation. 1t
will be remembered that when Lii Hung
Chang was making his flying trip
across the continent, Senator Wash

nipeg, to meet the distinguished Chi
nese minister, and that upon his re-
turn he was averse to making known
the subject of his conference with the
Chinaman. 1t is alleged that the meet
Ing was for the purpose Of considering
some phases Of the proposed plans for
Chinese railways.
Senator Washburn denies. however.
that there is any truth in the report.
When asked about it he said: 81 have
no plans of this kind whatever. :
have talked some of going to Japan
this coming winter If / can arrange
but the trip, if made, will be wholly for
pleasure and will have no business con-
nected with it. While away 1 may go

Senator Washburn FURTHER said that
when Ii Hung Chang was coming to
this country he, as an Intimate ac-
Quaintance of John w. foster, took
an active part in trying ato bring the
distinguished foreigner toiMinneapoIis.
When he found that LIZ was to 90
north via the Canadian Pacific, he de-
termined not to lose chance to meet

COULDN'T WAIT FOR DEATH,
Aged Visitor In the Mill City Takes
an Overdose of Laudanum

an Overdose of Laudanum.
Peter McManimie, residing at 1885
Bryant avenue north, took an overdose
of laudunam at o'clock Sunday morn
ing, and died from the effects Of it at
midnight, the same day.
McManimie was 62 years old, and
has resided with his daughter and SON
in-law, B. J. Riefiing, for the past
year. Otherwise his home Is at Flint,
Mich. Two years ago his wife died
and the blow to the old man. seemed
very hard one. 1t seemed for some
time that he would die of grief. 1t was
therefore suggested to him that he
come to Minneapolis, and make an ex-
tended visit to his daughter and her
husband. This was done. For some
time the change seemed to have a
beneficial effect upon his spirits, and
he was known in the neighborhood as
quite a jolly man. Occasionally. how
ever, he would be taken with spells in
which he was very morOse and would
speak to no one, except in cases of
actual necessity. 1t was during one of
these spells that the laudanum was
taken.
1t is claimed by Mr.. and Mrs. Riefing
that he had been in the habit of taking
the drug for stomach troubles. and
they do not seem to accept the suicide
theory. Immediately after being taken
i'll DR.. G. w. Bass was summoned. but
could do nothing for him. The old
man continued through the day In a
state that was constantly going to-
wards the worse, and at 11:50 he quiet
ly expired.
The body has been prepared for
burial, and will today be shipped to
his former home for interment. An
other daughter, who is also visiting
here, will accompany the remains.

Rumor Anent the G. A. n. Parade

The statement made by the Minneapolis
Times on the day following the G. A. R. pa
rade in st. Paul. that the inmates Of the
soldiers home had been ordered to part.ci-
pate in the parade, upon pain of discharge for
refusal. naturally created considerable COM
ment among the Grand Army men OF this
city.
II 1t was true they felt that some action
should be taken In the matter, and if untrue
in justice to the commandant of the home
that fact should be made known. meeting
of the commanders of the several G. A. r.
posts of the city was called, and 1t was de-
cided that investigation should be at once
instituted. With this end in view a visit
was made to the home September. 10 and the
matter sifted thoroughly. Conversations were
held with the various officers, and with sew
eral inmates of the home, and it was learned
that the statement as made by the Times
was wholly untrue, so far as the general or
ders were concerned

Swedish Orator Tells How 1T Worked
i'm Sweden.


Normanna hall was filled last night
with an audience of over a thousand
men who were there to listen to the
address of the most eloquent Swedish
orator in America, Prof. G. A. Swan
sen, president of Bethany college. Kan
sas. Prof. Swansenss speech was made
in the Swedish language and had
deep effect upon his hearers. In regard
to the free coinage of silver Prof.
Swanson said. that Sweden had had
an experience of that kind $50 years
ago, during the reign of Charles the
Twelfth. They had at that time the
free coinage of copper. The man that
caused the copper agitation was Boran
Won Goeerts, German. Baron Won
Goeerts used the same argument in
favor of copper as are now being used
in favor of silver. The law for the
free coinage of copper went into effect,
but the merchants and the people re-
fused to take the copper money. The
government stamp upon 1t did not
raise the value of 1t, and at last a
revolution broke out among the people.
Baron Won Goeerts was arrested, tried
and beheaded. Prof. Swanson contend
ed that the free silver coinage by the
United States would have about the
same effect as the free copper coinage
by Sweden.
