Departure of the Yamashiro Maru
From YOk Ohama

On Saturday, at noon, the n. Y. K.
steamer, Yamashiro Maru, Capt. Jones,
left Yokohama as the pioneer vessels
of the Nippon Yusen Kaishas new
Australian line. Prior to the departure
of the steamer, a cold collation. was
served in the handsome saloon, and an
opportunity was afforded of presenting
an address to Mr.. Kondo Rempei, Pre-
sident of the Company by the Tokyo
and Yokohama Traders Association.
This was introduced by Mr.. Ikeda, Of
Tokyo, and Mr.. Otani Kahei, of Yoko-
hama, in most felicitous speeches. Mr..
KondO made lengthy reply, in which
he referred to the new lines to Europe,
Bombay, Seattle, and Sydney that have
recently been started by the Yusen
Kaisha. He trusted that their efforts
would meet with success. They would
do their best to merit success, and
should these efforts be appreciated by
shippers and travellers, then the flag
of the Yusen Kaisha might eventually
be seen in other parts of the globe.
Three ringing Banzias were then given
for the Emperor, for Mr.. Kondo, and
for the success of the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha's Autralian line, on the mo-
ton of Mr.. Otani Kahei.-Japan Mail,

AN UNEXPECTED DEATH.
Peter Dowry, Well Known Resi-
dent, Passes Away.

The many friends of Peter Dowry
were startled to learn of his death
Monday, which occurred at two
o'clock. His serious illness was not
generally known. He went out on
the road last week as usual, for the
Western Supply Co., of Minneapolis,
for which he travelled, but returned
Wednesday or Thursday quite sick.
His illness developed rapidly into a
very severe attack of pluro-pneumonia
which very soon overcame his natur-
ally strong physique.
Mr.. Dowry was about thirty-tive
years of age, and was pushing and
successful young commercial travel
Ter, with wide acquaintance here
and elsewhere in his territory. He
was we'll liked by all who knew him.
He recently purchased house on
Florence street, where he lived with
his wife and two or three children.

ternOon at three o'clock, from Our
Savior's Norwegian Lutheran church,

A PIONEER GONE.
Gotlieb nSchmidt Answers the Final
Summons.

Gotlieb Schmidt died at 6:15 o'clock
Mon day, at his residence on South
Second street, after an illness of about
two months. The first of February he
contracted an attack of grip, which
intensified an old bowel complaint.
He was able to go to the store one fore
noon after that. For the last ten
days he had been confined to his bed
and his usual cheerful disposition did
not desert him, and he expected to re-
cover, even up to near the last. He
was conscious to the end, recognized
and smiled upon members of the
family, and the end came peacefully
and painlessly, while the physician
held his hand.
Mr.. Schmidt was born in Germany,
near Berlin, Feb. 18th, 1926, and emf
grated to America in 1854. After a
couple of years spent in Iowa, he
moved to Mankato forty years ago.
He farmed for three years, and then
went into partnership with Mr..
BucholZ in the harness business, and
has continued in that business ever
since, building up large and re-
munerative trade. For several years
past, his son, Oscar, had been in part
nership with him, and will continue
to carry on the business. In 1864 the
de, eaSed was united in marriage with
Miss Ida Goedick, of this county, who,
with one son, survive him. These
mourn the loss of kind and indul-
gent husband and father. He was the
youngest of family of six, all of
whom preceded him to the grave.
The deceased was member of
Schiller lodge No. 20, 1. O. o. F., and
of the Liedertafel Singing Society
He carried 1000 of life insurance in
the lodge, and $1,000 in the North
western Mutual, of Milwaukee.
Mr.. Schmidt was one of the earliest
settlers in Mankato, and throughout
his long residence here he took an
earnest and intelligent interest in the
progress and welfare of MankatO. He
was always honorable in his dealings,
and won the confidence and friendship
of all who came in contact with him,
and his death casts a shadow over the
community.

April 3, 1896.

THERE are some who seem to be
surprised that after his letter to the
Minneapolis convention last week
asking that his name be not consider
ed as presidential candidate, that
Senator Davis should now be looked
upon as presidential possibility.
There was nothing in his letter which
took him entirely out of the race
should the situation be such that
Major Mckinley cannot be nominal
ed, one which does not seem at all
likely to arise, the chances might be
good for Senator Davis landing the
prize. In this connection curious
story comes from Washington to the
effect that the free silverites are look
ing with friendly eyes toward Senator
Davis as a presidential possibility.
Some of the silver senators have given
it out cold that they will not support
Mckinley, and are opposed to Allison
because he has always been friendly
with the east, and they are said to
feel very kindly toward Senator
Davis, who is close personal friend
of several of them. Why Senator
Davis should be more acceptable to
them than Senator Allison, who has
always been very liberal toward sill
yer, is hard to understand. He has al
ways been pronounced in his views
for sound money and in his letter to
the Minneapolis convention he out
lined what he thought ought TO be the
platform of the Minnesota Republi-
cans, and most prominent was that
for sound money system. and it was
closely followed by the convention.
They certainly can expect no more
favor from him than from Allison
or Mckinley, while the nomination is
something he woul not accept on
frees liver platform.
But so long as there is chance to
nominate Major Mckinley, the name
of Senator Davis is not possibility
before the convention, but if the
course of events should take the Ohio
man out of the contest entirely, there
is no question but that Senator Davis
would develop into the strongest kind
of dark horse, and the forces which
would push him forward would come
not from the silverites, but from the
staunchest adherents of a sound
money system.

THE TEXAS SCHEME.

The Democrats are somewhat agi-
tated over the report which comes
from Texas that the Republicans and
Pops there are talking, of combining
and wrestling the state from De-
mocracy, which has so long controlled
it's fortunes or misfortuDes. 1t is said
that if the scheme is faithfully car
ried out the combination will have
majority of some 5000, and the grow
ing disaffection of the past year may
considerably increase it. The scheme,
as proposed, is for the Republicans to
endorse the Populist state ticket and
in return the Populists will put the
Republican presidential electors upon
their ticket, and will vote for them in
return for help on their state ticket.
From this distance it looks like
queer combination, and very doubt
full as to whether it would work. The
Pops are out and out free silver, while
in their late convention, the Texas
Republicans were emphatic in their
endorsement of the principle of sound
money. However, the Pops have no
hopes for anything outside OF the
state, and doubtless think that they
could stand it for what they could
WIN at home. How much better a
Pop state administration would be
than the government the Democrats
have given the state, is hard to tell
Experience of states that,ha tried
Pop rule would be against it, but
doomed as they have been to the mis-
rule of Democracy, the people doubt
less think that any change would prove
blessing But after the combina-
tion has been made by the leaders the
next thing is to get the rank and file
of the voters to agree to it. In the
north it could not be done, but the
rule of the oligarchy which has been
imposed upon the south for years back
by the shotgun and tissue ballot,
makes the situation there entirely
different. And the move for such
scheme makes the change that has
come over the south during the past
two or three years. and is shaking it
up from the outer edges to it's very
center a striking one. Previous
to 1893, the success of any such
combination would have been
hooted at by the very Democratic
leaders who are now worried by the
fear that it will succeed. Two years
ago it succeeded in North Carolina,
and there are predictions made. that
as a result the Republicans can now
carry that state alone. The solid
south is slowly disintegratin@, and
there are indications that it may be
badly shattered in November, 1896.
