had secured a provisional Hawaiian

TO MAKE THEIR VISIT n
GREAT SUCCESS.
AN ADDRESS BY SENATOR DAVIS.
He vii. Extend Welcome on Be
half of the State of
Minnesota.

Tomorrow evening the first dele
gates will arrive for the meeting of
the American Pharmaceutical associ-
alton and by Tuesday evening over
1000 druggists are expected at Lake
Minnetonka where the sessions Of the
association will be held. The special
trains from Chicago will arrive Tues
day morning at I o'clock, and will be
pulled directly out to the Lafayette.
The LOCO or more delegates who are
coming from the East by way Of the
great lakes and Duluth will also arrive
in Minneapolis Tuesday morning. and
the special train from North Dakota
is expected at the same time. PreSi-
dent Joseph E. Morrison, of Montreal,
will arrive with the party from Du-
Iuth, and he will at once take up his
headuarters at the Lafayette.
All cities seem to like the druggists
and many are after the convention for
next year. Those who are in the lists
and who will come prepared to make a
hard contest for the honor are Rich
mCnd Va, Nashville, Tenn, Balti
more and New York city.
An important and very pleasant an
EOunCement was made by the local ar
engagements committee yesterday in
the fact that Senator Davis had con-
scented to make the address Of wei
come for Minnesota. He is well
known in the East, where most Of the
delegates come from, and his presence
and eloCuence will add much to the
felicities of the occasion.
Local Secretary Shumpk was very
busy yesterday in making prepare
tiOns for the reception of the delegates.
They will be met at st. Paul when they
arrive over the different routes and
their entrance to Minneapolis made
pleasant. The badges and system of
registration is original with Mr. Shum-
pix, and is modification and cOnbi-
nation of the best that has heretofore
been used here. There is a coupon
book numbered and slips enclosed with
transportation or admission tickets for
all the forms of entertainment prOVid-
ed for the delegates. The purple rib
bon which is the back ground for the
badge is also numbered to correspond
with the coupon book. A directory of
all delegates and visitors with their
numbers will be printed and then each
can be easily Unidentified and all con-
fusion avoided. The badge is pretty
and unique. 1t bears a Autographed
photograph of Minnehaha Falls, and

many chiefs gathered about the king.
The latter at first expressed a desire
to make his submission privately to
the president, but the British represen-
tatives refused, and the king, after
having consulted with his chiefs, made
an obeisance, rubbing his forehead
three times upon the ground. Ten OF
his most important chiefs did the same.
and the ceremony was concluded.

Test Case to be Taken to the Su-
preme Court.

The question as to whether or not

Will be carried to the supreme court
by Sheriff Phillips. The case of J. f.
Shadwell VS.. H. O. Foster came up
before Judge Elliott, in which the
question was in dispute. and the mat,
ter was taken under advisement. 1t
appears that an amendment to the law
of 1873 was passed in 1895, which in
serted bicycles in the list of eXemp-
lions. In 1897 there was another
amendment which named sewing ma
chimes and typewriters, and did not
mention bicycles. The claim of the
plaintiff is that the amendment set
aside all other laws, while Mr.. Lynch,
for the sheriff, claimed that the last
amendment only repealed the original
law, and left the first amendment in
1888 still standing, with the new add
lions. The matter is an important one.
and the decision will be watched with
interest.

THE YANTIC At HALIFAX.
The Expected Salute Not Given Because She
Had No Guns to Fire.

Halifax. N. s., Oct. 19.-When the
United States warship Yantic minus her
batteries sailed in Halifax harbor at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, it was expected
by the military and naval authorities that
she would salute the flag of Vice Admiral
Sir John Fisher. on the British battleship
Renown. and also the British colors float
ing from Il staff on the crest of the cit
adel.
Preparations were made and completed
to return the salutes, but the men man.
ming the guns on the citadel and the flag
ship waited in vain to hear the Yantic
speak. They did not know, or had for
gotten, that she had been stripped of her
guns before sailing from Boston for De-
troit, Mich, via the st. Lawrence, and
that she was not equipped for performing
the customary salutatiOn. So the citizens
as well as the army and navy We're dis
appointed.
The Yantic had a rough experience in
the gales of Saturday night and Sunday,
which were probably the worst that some
of her officers and crew have ever gone
through, but she survived the storms in
pretty good shape. Some of her pumping
machinery got out of order, but she kept
on her way to the St. Lawrence and
passed Halifax harbor when slight de-
ransement of another part of her ma
chinery was discovered and the COM
mander decided to put about for this port.
The officers are reticent on the subject
of the machinery trouble, saying it is not
of serious consequence and that the ship
Will be able to proceed in a couple of
days. The Yantic came into harbor with
out assistance and it was not known that
there was anything wrong until the Off
GERS were questioned.

THE BRAN HEARING.
Arguments for New Trial Closed = Court Takes
Case Under Amusement.

Washington, Oct. 19-The argument
in the case of Thomas Bran, who was
| convicted in the federal court Of Massa-
chusetts for murder on the high seas.
was resumed in the supreme court to-
day. Assistant Attorney General Boyd
for the government opened today in OPP
position to the motion of the plaintiff
attorneys for a new trial.
He rehearsed briefly the tragic story Of
the triple murder on board the Herbert
Fuller. and then proceeded to discuss
the points raised in the plaintiffs bill
of exception. He contended that the
member of the grand jury who, being
| of the religious order of Friends, had
affirmed and not sworn, had in no way
vitiated the indictment and produced
presidents from the Massachusetts
practice in support of his contention.
He answered at length the point raised
by the plaintiff that the court erred in
overruling the defence's chaleng
| against the array owing to the failure
of the town of Cambridge to return its
quota of venire.
With reference to the alleged pre-
judicial remark of the judge presiding
at the trial, Mr.. Boyd contended that
| the Judge was fully justified in making
the utterance. Moreover, the Judge had
ordered the remark stricken out and
had ordered the jury to disregard any
comment made by him.
During the argument, Justic Harlan
asked Mr. Boyd for his theory of the
motive for the crime.
From the evidence" replied Mr..
Boyd. II believe it was Bram's inten-
ton to kill all aboard. who would not
subordinate themselves to him, take
command of the vessel and sail her to
some port where vessel and cargo
could be sold"
Mr.. Cotter, Bram's chief of counsel,
stated to the court that all this was
outside the record.
MIR. Boyd concluded shortly before 2
o'clock.
Mr.. Cotter devoted the hour given
him by the court to the discussion of
the assignments deemed of most i'm
portance by Bram's counsel. In con-
clusion Mr.. Cotter dwelt on the ex-
pertinent made aboard the Herbert
Fuller after the trial upon which the
second motion for a new trial was
based. The court took the case under
adViSement
