CLAN GoRDoN,s ANNUAL.
Fifth Anniversary of the Scottish
Organization Celebrated

Clan Gordon, one of the prominent Scottish
organizations of the city, last evening OBJ
served the fifth anniversary Of its founding
in Minneapolis, and incidentally elected Of
ficers. The organization is a social and fra
ternal as well insurance order, and has
chapters under various names in nearly every
large city in the country, where sons of
bonny Scotland are to be found Clan Cor
don, in this city, has a membership of 75
all greatly interested in the success of the
society. Despite the old adage that Scotch
men cannot live together without quarreling,
the members of Clan Gordon have lived in
peace and harmony for five years. and the
order is today in the best possible condition.
Among the men who have been more ac-
tive in promoting the society in the past are
N. N. Scott, who was the promoter of the
order, coming to Minneapolis from Duluth
art; John Pithcathly, who has served during
the past year as chief Of the local lodge:
Peter Cochran, who was last evening elected
chief, and who is one of the best known
members; John Robertson, chaplain, who is
an old resident of Minneapolis, and has al
ways been an enthusiastic clansman; George
Sinclair, who is known for his skill in per-
forming on the alleged musical instrument
known as the bag-pipe. The local lodge took
its name from the fact that most Of its
members are from Aberdeenshire, in Scot
land, which was famous for the Gordon clan.
The election Of officers resulted as follows:
Chief, Peter r. Cochran; past chief, John
Pithcathly; tanist, Alexander Rose; chap
lain, John Robertson; secretary, Joseph
treasurer, John Wilson; physician, DR.. ].
w. Mcdonald; superior henchman, w. G..
Burr; junior henchman, William Wilson; SEN
eshal Henry Shaw; warder, Archie sBeaton;
sentinel, Peter Stewart; piper, George Sin
clair.
Action was taken at the meeting looking
toward the celebration Of the birthday Of
Robert Burns, which occurs Jan. 20. There
will be a concert entertainment and dance.
The evenings business closed with Scot
tish reel to the music Of the bagpipe in
which all members participated. 1t very
much resembled an Indian war dance

MAKES NO CHANGE.
Two Election Contests on at the
City Hall,


The result of the two contests in progress
at the city hall up to the time of adjourn
ment of the last night canvasssrs were moi
materially changed. The two contestants are
those in which G. l.. Dingman contests the
election of Matthias Lehman to he leg:s,a-
ture, and c. S. Dever claims to have been
elected justice of the peace in place of F. E.
Pcbbs. The two boards will meet again to-
day, as they had completed only about half
their work up to last night.
The board in the Dingman- Lehman case
finished recounting the votes in the first
seven precincts of the Ninth ward There
are nine more precincts to be counted in this
district The recount showed LeIlman had
gained three votes in the first three precincts
and one vote in the sixth precinct total of
1our Dingman made a gain of four in the
fourth precinct, and two votes in the seventh
total OF six. Thus he has gained but two
votes In all over Lehman, which is not sur
hclent to change the result thus far
In the Dever-Hobbs contest the result
showed that each of the contesting candidate
gained one vote in the first precinct of the
FIRST ward Dever made a gain of three votes
IN the second precinct of the same ward five
In the hfth precinct one in the fourth of the
Second ward and one in the fifth precincs of
the same ward. This gives him q total ga IN
or eleven. Hobbs made a gain Of one in the
third precinct of the First ward five in the
seventh and eighth precincts, and two in the
ninth precinct. In the Second ward Hobbs
gained two in the first precinct making a
total for him of ten. Thus Hobbs loses one
VOTE as Dever's vote is eleven This contest
is very close, as Hobbs official majority was
only hVe, and is now reduced to four To-
days results may yet seat Dever.

AS I have before intimated, I be-
1ieve it to be the duty Of the United
States to use the great power attach

specifically to this republic, that no

gate, any longer than the time it shall
require to break it up. And if the duty
of suppressing this damning blot and
erasing 1T forever from sight shall fall
alone upon the United States, so be it.
The effort cannot fail. We shall not
wage any warfare for the acquisition
of territory for ourselves. We shall
not claim Cuba as a reward for saw
ing her from slaughter, but we will
not see that fair island turned again
to the mercieS of wild beasts and
vultures of war, whose only stimulus
is gain. Cuba Libre-Free Cuba-is the
reward, and what glorious reward
will that be! Every citizen Of the Unit
ed States will feel that his birthright
as an American freeman will mean
something. A settlement must be
made. The account has been open and
running long enough-yes, far too long.
" ilo SctIleSlleuI we may properly IN
v1te the cooperation of all the repub-
lies Of the American continent. But
the end of the devastation must be de-
termined. The United States must fur
nish the occasion; If it does not other
wise arise. If other means fail. we
may consider the propriety of a fair
purchase of Cuba. That method has
had it's share of consideration under
previous administrations 1t is not
That we want the territory, but we
mean that the trouble shall meet
just settlement and conclusion. Let
the end come and come quickly. Let
the bloodshed cease, and let freedom

CLAN GoRDoN's ANNIVERSARY

Two representatives of an Eastern
mortgage and trust company were in
the city within a week with a. PROPOSE
ton to be submitted to the city of Min
neapolis, whereby their company was
to guarantee the genuineness of the
bends which the city was about
to issue for $600,00 Included in
this guaranty was the printing, by the
trust company in question, of the 900
bonds which the city will have to sell
pursuant to the vote of the people at
the recent election.
The proposition was not accepted by
Comptroller Nye. He did not see why
his guaranty of the genuineness OF the
bonds of the city Of Minneapolis, over
his signature as comptroller, was not
as good, if not better, than that of a
New York mortgage and trust compa-
ny.
Mr.. Nye, furthermore, has theory
that it is about time for city the size
and Importance and wealth of Mime
apolis to do something looking toward
sale of it's securities to its own citi-
Zens. This can be done with compare
tive ease, if managed with a sincere
NONCI " put LiC OOA1NS
the reach of the common people. In
the first place the sale must be made
by subscription, as is done in New York
and other cities of the East. Philadel-
phia had one of these popular loan
sales of bonds within year or so
which was very successful. In addi-
tion,. the plan is to have the bonds
made in denominations Of $100 and $500,
as we'll as $1,000; perhaps, even as low
as $50.
The philosophy Of the matter is that
it is better to have the interest paid
to Minneapolis people than to have it
go abroad. 1t tends to foster pride
in the cfty's welfare, and improve the
interest in municipal affairs Of the
people
AS necessary corolary to this propo-
sition the city treasurer of Minneapolis
would to a large extent become the
fiscal agent of the city, and the COM
mission paid in New York for paying
bonds and interest would be saved in
this city.
In order to effect any change in the
method Of selling city bonds however,
it will require legislative action. The
matter will probably be brought to
the attention of the Hennepin delega-
ton, either before the legislature meets
or Immediately after. The suggestion
is that the city could probably sell
bonds bearing 3h per cent interest
which would make it so much easier
for the common people to get them and
make them less attractive to the trust
companies and banks, which, hereto
fore, have had practical monopoly of
this class of securities.
In the same connection legislative
action will be asked to allow the city
sinking funds commissioners to buy
city bonds direct which the supreme
court has decided they can do under
the law as it now stands
