Of last spring in the Oxford race with Cam
bridge. All three crews are powerful and Yale
will win glory enough II II beats them next
week. With Elton and the Dutch crew out OF
the struggle for the Grand Challenge cup, 1t Will
not be necessary to have an opening heat on
Monday. as was feared.
The Henley season has already set In, many
houses and boats being already occupied. The
attendance at the regatta promises to be the
largest on record. Nearly all the American
tourists now in England will be there on the
opening day.
Yale shares the fortune Of Cornell In having
Leander as an antagonist in the opening heat
OF the regatta, and there is reason to believe
that the umpire will blunder again, or that one
Grew will go over the course alone.
The American Societys dinner tonight was re-
markabe for the excellence Of the speeches and
the enthusiasm With which all references to In
ternational arbitration and the community Of
feeling in the Anglo-Saxon family were received.
A toast to the President was proposed by Sir
| Richard Webster in most sympathetic and
cordial speech trimming with good feeling. Am
| bassador Bayard spoke with dignity. force and
humor. and DR.. Green with genuine eloouence
| The best speech Of the evening was delivered
by James Bryce. who expressed the confident
hope that an Arbitration Tribunal would be
speedily established. and that the two nations
would be bound together by indissolublc ties Of
fellowship and goodwill His reference to the
recent arbitration conference IN Washington.
and the forecast that similar gathering in Lon
don would be attended by EngshmeD equal in
influence and wisdom. brought an approving
smile to the face of William E. Dodge, who sat
near him. DR.. Hoge H. S. Welcome and New
| ton Crane made the remaining speeches.
There was excellent music. as we'll as good ora
tory, and good feeling pervaded the assem-
bage Of over two hundred Americans The COM

that the day of patriotic memories had been
celebrated in the spirit which would be helpful

Eustis does not stand ghost OF
chance in Blue Earth county, not
withstanding the report published III
the Pioneer Press OF May 10. Ihat re-
port was written to brace up b. ID
Smith for attorney general. Ii IL Is
repeated Mr.. Smith will be turneo
down in his own county.
The above is from the Lake Crysta
Union. If this county cannot be car
ried for Mr.. Eustis, will the Unions
oil Inspector be kind enough to IN
form the Republican voters who they
shall support. And will he also be
kind enough to inform the public up
on what meat he has been feeding
that he should serve notice upon Mr.
B. d. Smith that she will be turned
down in his own county, if the state
ment is repeated in the Pioneer Press
that Mr.. Eustis can carry Blue Earth
county. Finally, under what statu
tory authority does Mr.. Neff set him
self up as the dictator of the Republi
can party, while he himself is not
conducting Republican paper? The
readers of the Union will doubtless be
interested in having Bro. Neff estab
ish his claims of dictatorship. Nef1
exhibits about as much information
on the political status as he does upon
the silver question.

A BATTLE ROYAL.

Now that the Republican conven'
tion has been called, and the date
fixed for the first day of July, the peo-
nile of Minnesota will be treated to a
battle royal in the contest for guber-
material candidate. Up to this time
very little interest," has been mani
tested among the rank and file of the
party, and indeed the leaders them
selves have been more than usually
conspicuous by their apparent IN
activity, Aside from the Sixth district
and Hennepin county no work OF any
account has been done to crystallze
public sentiment for any the numer-
ous candidates, other than for ClOugn,
while the fight in these two LOCALITIES
has been carried on more vigorously
by the Clough forces than by the OPP
position. Speaker Lee has been 40
ing considerable travelling in the
Sixth. and to show that he has an up
hill task it is only necessary to refer
to a remark he dropped the other day,
that to get a berth on a sleeper In
that section it was necessary to kick
a Clough man out of bed" In Hen
nepin county the recent combine be-
tween Messrs. Eustis, Lee and Van
SAINT has not, it is claimed, worked to
the disadvantage of the governor, but
rather the reverse. The governors
friends insist that they will be able to
carry Hennepin, while the opposition
seem to be equally sanguine. 1t Will
be a fight to the finish, and with the
thorough organization of the Clough
forces, coupled with the fact that
they are fighting for existence, gives
coIoring to their claim of success. The
fight in Ramsey county will be no less
fierce than in Hennepin. Gen. Clapp
will measure swords with the admin
istration, and he is a politician of no
mean dimensions. But the machine
that is, claims to be able to reap the
harvest. OF course Merriam is behind
Clough, and unless he has lost his
cunning the boys will line up to the
state house table under his auburn
smile and genial whisker.
1t is entirely assured that Senator
Nelson will do whatever he can to aid
Mr.. Clio ugh in his struggle. 1t is en-
tirely proper that he should, and his
support means a good deal more than
some people are willing to concede. in
fifteen years there has never been SO
powerful combination behind can
didate for governor in Minnesota as
that which is now conducting Clough's
campaign, and to defeat him will re-
quire very different politics on the
part of the opposition than has yet
been displayed.
The Clough forces are massed and
ready to march. The ants must
close up their ranks forthwith if they
expect to be in at the finish.

THE STORM.
It Causes More or Less Damage
Around the City
The Milwaukee Elevator Struck by
Lightning.

The May rain fall was materially
added to by the storm early Saturday
and it begins to look as though
weather prophet Hicks would not
come far from the truth in his pre-
diction that May would be the wet
test month of the season. There was
considerable fall of water this
morning and farmers state that low
lands are we'll soaked, in fact rather
too wet for the good of the growing
crop.
Quite an electrical display accom-
panied the storm and there were
several particularly binding flashes
of lightning, one of which struck the
Milwaukee elevator located near the
Minnesota river bridge, but little
damage was done, further than
knocking out a few brick on the
chimney though the fire alarm
sounded
The lightning also run in on eth
er the telephone or the electric light
wire at the Hanson Lampert Lumber
Cos office, but did no damage further
than to burn off the wires of both the
phone and the electric light, but Mr..
Lampert said it was as close call as
he desired in that direction.
During the rain the basement of
the Washington House on Main street
was flooded, and filled up about half
full. The workmen have been put
ting in street curbing on that street,
and had not quite finished their work,
and by means of an old well which is
coated right at the edge of the curb,
the water worked through into the
cellar.

SOMETHING "DRAPPED."

The proposed action of the city
council Saturday night in contracting
for city electric light plant was sud-
denly brought to quieGing condition
by the serving of restraining order
on the mayor, city recorder and alder
men, enjoining them from entering
into any such contract, and that de-
PENDANTS should appear before Judge
Severance at 10 O'Clock a. m. on June
18th, to show cause why the restrain

manent.

interest is &c. 1t also shows the
city to be indebted for borrowed

The Democratic party of Blue Earth
county seems TO have fallen into a
state of innocuous desuetude, and it
did not occur to it's leaders that there
was any demand to recussitate It,,
hence they allowed the time speci-
fed by the primary election law for
the calling of county convention to
slip by without notice, and the time
for issuing a call that will give due
legal notice for such convention is now
past. However, it makes but little
material difference as the Democratic
movement will hardly be noticed this
year, and it will save the boys con-
siderable time and expense to let the
matter go by default.

plant, we will have to raise by taxa
ton in 1897 S101, sos, which it will be
necessary to levy this year, and will
create tax of over 81 per cent on the
taxable property at the present
assessed valuation.
With this sort of financial showing
is it any wonder that those of our
citizens who are required to bear the
burden of this great Indebtedness de-
sire that the further placing of illegal
bonds in the sum of $4,000, or any
other amount, be effectually stopped?
Is there any possible excuse for the
council to plunge the city deeper in
debt for lighting plant that is not
needed and for lights that are offered
for less money than we can manu-
facture them?
Not by any means, and it is only
reasonable to believe that the re-
straining order will lie permanently.
and that the council will be content
to look at the matter in more busl-
ness-like way and begin at this time
to retrench.
Now that something has ''drapped, "

aldermen awake to a realizing sense
of their obligation to the taxpayers
