GOV. VIM. R. MERRIAM
H0NORS FOR TIE FORMER GOVERNOR
OF MINNESOTA

He May De the Chairman of the
Platform for the Republican Con
vcntfOn-ScnatOr Quay Is Said to
Favor the Nomination of Mckin
ley by Acclamation.
st Louis. Mo-, June 12-Ex-Goy. Merriam
OF Minnesota was prominent figure in the
Ohio headquarters to-day. He was in fire.
Quent consultations with Mr. Hanna and the
other Mckinley leaders. 1t is quite likely
that he will be member of the committee
on resolutions and may be chairman Of that
committee.
There was some talk today about pre-
senting the name of Benjamin f. Tracy Of
New York, for vice-president. but it has
only extended to the suggestion of reDre-
sehtatives of different states that they
might inquire if Tracy would be acceptable
to their delegations for the second place on
the ticket.
A most important conference was held in
Senator Quays rooms at which Senator
Quay himself, Hon. Mark Hanna, Mr. Hahn,
national committeeman from Ohio Hobart
of New Jersey, Hon. Samuel Fessenden of
Connecticut, and w. Andrews of Pennsyl-
Vanla were present, and at which it was
practically arranged that Mr.. Quay should
retire from the contest for the presidency
He said the contests which were now under
consideration by the national committee
were of little or no consequence because it
was evident that Mckinley already had
over 800 uncontested votes making it evil
dent that the people demanded his nominal
ton. He acquieSced in the suggestion that
Mckinley should be nominated by acclaim
nation and said the sooner the convention
performed its work and adjourned the bet
ter it would be-
The principal development of the day has
been the agreement upon a gold standard
plank for the platform. 1t has been assert
ed In the dispatches for several days that
this would be done but to-day the matter
was settled so far as it could be in adj
vance of the convention. The incoming del
egates from every section sweled the senti-
ment for an unequiVOcal declaration for
the gold standard and against the free
coinage of silver. There have been arrivals
Of some prominent men, among them being
Senator Quay, Cornelius n. Bliss, Gen. Hor-
ace Porter, Hon. Charles Foster and Gen.
Grosvenor. The vice presidential candidacy
has been discussed a great deal with con-
illusions indicating that Hobart Of New Jer-
sey is the most prominent man at present.
The rather savage talk from Mr.. Platt
has assumed a milder tone.
The National Republican committee has
taken action upon contests involving 96
seats leaving 20 still to be passed upon.
OF these 90, SO were disposed of to-day.
The 36 included the contests ON the dele
gates at large from the states of Delaware
and Louisiana and the territory of Arizona
and districts from Virginia, Mississippi,
Alabama. In the Arizona case the members
Of each delegation were awarded a half
seat each. OF the sixteen delegates seat
ed from Louisiana, five are for Reed and
the others for Mckinley.

MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN, DELE.
CATION is BANOUETED.

This afternoon at $50 O'Clock over the
tracks of the Minneapolis & st. Louis rail
road, four cars, comprising a special train
will depart for st. Louis, and it is expected
It will reach that famous town by IL
O'Clock Sunday morning The cars will coll
tain the Republican delegation to The Re-
publican convention, and its friends. The
delegation will occupy three cars On one
of them will be the inscription minnesota
Republican Delegation and upon another
will float the assuring motto, sFor McAtn-
ley, Protection, ReciprocitE, Good Money
and Good Times"
Last evening Mr.. Thompson gave dinner
to the delegation at the Minnesota club,
which was rendered for the purpose OF
enabling one or two of the delegation to
become better acquainted with the others
Speeches were made and the delegates
present voiced their united inclination to
support sound money Mr. Hunt said last
night that never in the history of Mime
sofa politics will a delegation stand as
closely together as the one which leaves
for st. Louis this afternoon. Business did
not cut any figure at the dinner and no ac-
ton looking to the appointment of chair
man and commit Nes will be taken until the
delegation arrives in ST. Louis. The ap-
sence of ex-Goy. Merriam and Mr.. Evans
at the dinner was regretted. They VIII
meet the party in ST. Louis Immediately
upon it's arrival Though there is nothing
definite about it, the name of Ex-Governor
Hubbard has been mentioned for the chair
manship.
There is likely to be contest for the
national committeeman. The present holder
of that highly important office, Robert 6.
Evans, it has been given out, does not care
to succeed himself as he has held the post
for ten years. There are two candidates
for the position, in the persons OF rams
Bixby, of Red Wing, and John GoodnoW. or
Minneapolis. The name of on. g. A. E1lls-
bury is suggested for the craftsmanship OF
the committee on resolutions, but II thls
does not carry and the ex-governor does Sc
cure a place upon the committee, and there
is a strong certainty that he WILL the COM
-mittee will probably carry into the conyen-
ton with it some resolutions on reciprocity
It is a conceded fact that the ex-governor
and the remainder Of the delegation are
strongly in favor of a reciprocity clause III
the national presidential convention pat
form in order to protect the large milling
interests of the Northwest.
For the committee on credentials Mr. Tor
renee is looked upon as a very likely man,
and it is not impossible that he will be put
at the head Of the committee. Other COM
mittces to be selected are: Committee to
notify the nominee for president, commit
tee to notify the nominee for yice-preslaeht,
committee on permanent organization ana
committee on rules and order.
L. p Hunt said that there is not the
slightest particle of doubt that the deieSa-
ton will be the most pronounced for sound
money of any delegation which participates
in the convention"

A few of the first may some time reach
the dinner table of the queen. The
great crowd, however, will go hungry if
they wait for an invitation to dine with
her majesty. AS a substitute, all who
would like to learn what kind of din
ners the queen of Great Britain eats
may duplicate for their Sunday dinner
the menu of the queens own Sunday
dinner, published herewith.
Of course, the queens cook doesn't
give her majesty the same dishes ev-
cry Sunday, as the Bostonians cling to
beans for breakfast But this is con-
sidered an, example of the Sunday
dinner prepared for her royal highness
After studying the menu at this roy
al dinner some of those aspiring Amer
leans may be satisfied to remain at
home. The dinner isn't a bit more
elaborate or better composed than the
chefs of, any number of wealthy Amer
leans serve without ostentation.
The menu card for this dinner here
reproduced is about six inches wide and
eight inches deep. 1t is gilt edged, with
a glossy finish. The scroll border has
a gilt ground with pink roses, blue
thistles, oak leaves and acorns in the
designs. Ireland is represented by de-
signs of shamrocks.
Anybody might know it was queens
menu, for there are only six crowns and

two of Victorias monograms on 1t,
while the English lion and unicorn
surmount the whole. 1t ought to con-
vey some suggestions for menu designs
TO some American plutocrats.
The menus for the queens table are
always written by hand, and IN french.
English it appears is not proper. A urall
is made for her, and with her own
hands, like the good housewife she IS
the royal pen crosses out such dishes as
are not to her fancy, and writes those
she prefers in their places.
In plain English, the queen is served
with two soups, one of calf's head, the
other a clear rice soup. The first fish
isacoo, with the dressing, the foundation
Of whica is anchovy sauce. The sec
ond fish dish is fried fillets of mePlan.
Merriam is like whiting.
For entrees there are chicken cutiets

Rutnhngns for Fodder.

It is gratifying to see so many American
farmers putting their waste places or spare
lands into rutabagas and turnips for early
fall or long winter feeding. They are get
ting the European idea of root crops.
There the turnips and rutabagas are sown
broadcast as are almost all grains, and If
not desired as roots, the foliage is used for
green food Just imagine the results of
a twenty acre oat patch treated in this way
Think Of the tremendous amount of green
fodder. magnificent fodder too, coming into
full play in hot August and September.
Why a field Of rutabagas and turnips, there
for cattle fod, is worth almost as much as
the oats gathered therefrom. Another god
plan is to SOW rutabaga seed, especially the
variety Known as Salzer's, La Crosse, Wis.
Mammoth Russian variety, or his Milk
Globe turnip sort, at the rate of one half
pound per acre, into the cornfield, just be-
fore the last cultivation. This vii give you
two good crops-one of corn, and the other
of rots from the same land. One advantage
of the rutabaga is that it can be sown at
any time of the summer for green food,
while sowing the later part of eJu'y is
the best in northern states for big, sweet,
Juicy rots for winter storage and use.

TALKS OF BoLTING.
Platt Objects to the Seating of So
Many Mckinley Men.

st. Louis, June 12.-Today there was in
circulation reports that Thomas G. Platt
had declared his intention of boiling or
walking out of the convention, If the six
contestants from New York should be
seated 1t is learned from members of
the national committee that in all prob
ability the six Platt men will be thrown
out and the other men placed on the tenn
porary roll The report of what Platt had
said was reported to Mr. Hanna today ana
he declined to discuss the matter in any
way. ~ shall not get excited over this,
even if Mr. Plat said it, Mr.. Hanna re-
marked. and when assured that Platt had
made the remark, he was not disturbed.

DECIMAL AND METRIC.
These Systems Are Endorsed by the
British Commercial Congress-

London, June -: The congress of the
chamber of commerce of the British en-
pire held its final sitting today. The resO-
luton of the Newcastle and Gates Head
chamber of commerce, introduced by Mr.
r. Plummer, that SO far as possible, it is
most important that inter-imperial postal
and telegraph routes should be established
between Great Britain and the colonies
as well as between the colonies themselves
without such routes passing through
other countries, was adopted,
The emigration resolution of the Winni-
peg board of trade, moved Mr. Frank H.
Patton, was next adopted In it he de-
-clares that 1t is the duty of the imperial
and colonial governments, as well as of all
patriotic citizens of the empire to use
every means available to encourage emigra-
ton to the colonies from the motherland
and to discourage in every possible way
the directing of such emigration to foreign
countries.
On motion of j. Y. Perrault, for the Mon
trcal chamber of commerce, resolution
was adopted that the Canadian decimal
system Of currancy, which answers all
purposes, be extended to the other por-
lions of the British empire, the pound
sterling to be equal to five dollars and
the shilling to 25 cents, and that the me-
trio system of weights and measures be
adopted without further delay by the sew
oral governments of the empire, the yard
being extended TO the metre, the quart to
the itre, and the two pound weight to
the kilogramme.
After resolution expressing the con-
CreSS to be in favor of closer connection
between the governments and the cham
bers of commerce had been adopted the
congress adjourned.

dipped in egg, rolled in crumbs and
fried. The second entree is made from
a piece of lamb. Then a praised ham
with spinach. Not at all complicated.
Then comes the English national dish,
roast beef, which the queen dignifies
by preserving in its English form of
expression. 1t is never ''ros-boeuf."
To make it more typically Angle-Sax-
on it is fianked by plum pudding.
Roast cartridges are next served.
For the entrements are celery with
brown sauce; tartlets with apricot souf-
fie, orange jelly and dish with milk
for it's foundation.
If you live in a big country house the
side table is doubtless already estab-
lished If not, then to follow the
queens menu it will have to be inau-
gurated for this occasion in order to
hold hot and cold fowl of various sorts,
tongue and cold beef
When all is said it isn't the style of
dinner that an American unaffected
with anglophobia would choose of his
own free will.
M. Charles Ranhoffer, Delmonicos
chef, who looked at the menu for her
majesty's dinner, was asked by New
York reporter:
What do you think Of it?"
'Id rather not say what [ think Or
it, he replied, because 1 know the
chef"
''Is it the kind of a dinner you would
make up for an American, especially a
New York table?"
M Ranhoffer smiled and said: Not
at ALL / don't want to criticise it, but
you see there are three fries together
and the relieves follow the entrees. 1t
should be in the opposite order"
There is the fun of being queen.
She may turn the usual order of pro-
gression of courses topsy-turvy. Does
any one suppose any plain American
woman with a good cook would dare
to mix things up like that? Not a bit.
But if the queen so desires she may
even begin at the last course and re-
verse the entire order.
"That is a good, plain substantial
dinner" went on NJ Ranhoffer, "just
the kind the queen of England might
be expected to prefer. It's old style.
See, they use lie and les and Ia We

ARTHUR ATEN ARRESTED.
lie Is Shrewd Young Farmer Of Newton
Township.

Arthur c. Aten, of Newton township,
was arraigned before Alderman o. II.
Wright yesterday morning charged by
Frank II. Scutt, the horse dealer. with
false and fraudulent representation.
Aten furnished $500 for his appearance
at court. E. A. Richards qualified as
bondsman.
According to the information made
before the alderman. Aten came to
town on Dec. Is last and visited Mr..
Scutt's stables. There was a team Of
draught horses which had just been
shipped from the West to the prosecu-
tor and Aten agreed to purchase them.
He represented that he owned farm
in Newton and gave two judgment
notes. one for 500 and the other for
$40, payable with interest. When the
notes became due Mr.. Scutt sought
payment and In default he had execu-
tions issued on them.
Aten had the judgment stayed on the
ground that he was under q years Of
age when he signed the notes, and that
such being the case they were void.
Mr.. Scutt now resorts to the criminal
courts to punish Aten.
