The P. M. g. is not feeling happy
this morning. He refused to send
the last mail by the Miowera, be-
cause the Peru was nearly due then
and could land the mail at the
earlier date. The Miowera left, and
the Peru didn't put in an appear
ance. This happened last week,
Yesterday the U. S. S. Bennington
departed for San Francisco, and the
mail forwarded by her in the hopes
that she may reach San Francisco
within the next ID days, This
morning the Peru arrived in port,
her non-appearance being due to
quarantine at Kobe in Japan. She
will arrive in San Francisco four or
five days ahead of the Bennington
and mail forwarded by the gunboat
will be stale matters. May we sug-
gest to the p. M. g. that he charters
the Peru to catch the Bennington,
and have the Hawaiian mail trans
ferred to her. Ii this is done the
taxpayers will admire and praise the
genial chief OF the Postal Bureau.

A bill has been brought in at this
late day OF the session "to define the
duties and responsibilities" OF the
Minister of Finance. A cursory
glance Of the bill shows that it
should become law, and that a
"much needed" want will be abated,
The principle of the bill is that the
Minister ought to be responsible
only for the sum OF moneys appro-
priated by the Legislature, and not
for the disbursement of it in de.
tail by the different heads OF de-
partments and bureaux. The Legis-
lature provides a certain sum for
the benefit Of, say, the Board of
Education. The Minister OF Finance
in due time advances the amount
appropriated, but he certainly can
not undertake the responsibility OF
the details OF the expenditures OF
the amount granted. The bill is a
wise and a just measure, and il
should DO passed,

Representative Isenberg's attitude
on the "claims" business has made
him many friends in the community.
We cannot approve of the attempt
to return to the men convicted in
1896 the fines imposed on them.
Some of them plead guilty to the
charge of treason or conspiracy, and
they were fued and imprisoned.
Others plead not guilty but were
duly convicted and punished, Under
those circumstances we fully agree
with Mr.. Isenberg that there isn't a
single good reason, why these men
should have their fines returned or
expect or find any commiseration,
The men who we're unjustly cast
into Jail and were punished by i'm
prisonment or exile without any
fault on their part should, says Mr..
Isenberg, be recompensed for the un-
justifiable hardships worked on
them and their families during the
"reign of terror" aud Mr. Isenberg,
on the floor of the House, signifies
his willingness of voting 100000 for
the purpose of satisfying the claims
OF the men, whom an insane lot OF
imbeciles threw into Jail without
reason, justice, honor and common
fairness Before another year has
passed by, the views OF MIR. lsenberg

READS LIKE A "DREAM."
story of a St. Paul Man Waited From
Superior.

A Superior, Wis, dispatch to the
Chicago Chronicle says:
Bert Peters is the name a man at st.
Mar ks hospital has been known by for years,
but he now announces that his right name is
Louis Drummond and that he is q cousin of
Peters. He tells strange story of the reason
he has been sailing under false coiors so long.
He says:
when the war broke out Albert Peters
and myself were co-partners in fur trading
business located in st. Paul. We were cous-
ms OF about the same age and so closely
sembled each other that frequently l was
mistaken for Peters and he mistaken
for me. We were both orphans. having been
brought up together by an aunt who died
when we were about 90 years of age, leaving
US a few hundred dollars apiece. AT the
time the war broke out we had been in bust
full. but l had not been saving with my
money, while my partner, who was more
careful with his earnings, invested in real
estate situated in the cities Of st. Paul and
Superior
an the fall of 1851 my partner and I de-
cided to sell out our business and GO TO the
war We did so and for two years and half
marched side by side as priyates.
During the battle of Spottsylvania my
comrade was instantly killed by a bullet
through the head, falling not ten feet from
in the side and spent months in the hos
pital. lingering between life and death. For
some unaccountable reason had been en-
tered upon the hospital books as Albert
Peters, and l found later that my own name
had been published in the list of killed.
Then it was that strange idea came into
my head. People believed me dead; they be-
Heved Peters to be alive. Why disappoint
them by a revelation of the truth?
81 was discharged from service upon leav-
ing the hospital, and, after drifting around
the East long enough to get rid of what little
money I had left. 1 went back to st. Paul
and obtained employment as a stage driver
between that place and Superior. 1 met quite
a number of people who had known Albert
Peters before the war, but had no difficulty
in passing myself the dead soldier. heard
very few expressions Of regret for the Louis
Drummond who was supposed to be dead
and as time wore on I began to feel that
Drummond was better out OF the world and
Peters better in it. l kept up the taxes on
the property which my dead comrade had
purchased in his name and when oppor-
tunity offered itself | sold out the lots for
good round sum and reinvested the money.
The deeds given to the purchasers of the
lots were. of course, invalid, but as the only
heir of the deceased Peters I have taken
steps to establish the descent Of title by the
courts so that no purchaser will lose dol
lar I have q few thousand dollars left.
which will be distributed for charitable pur-
poses in my will. l feel better now after

DENVER. Col, Jan. s.-Hon. G. Fred
Williams, Of Boston, was one of the
principal speakers at the annual meet
ing Of the Jacksonian club at Wier's
hall, in this city tonight. Gov. Alva
Adams made the opening speech, after
which Mr.. Williams was introduced.
The speaker warned the Democrats
against allowing any new issues to be
incorporated into the platform of 1900.
A plank that might win back the gold
Democrats, he said, would drive many
silver Democrats away and all the sill
yer Republicans. The main questions
that interest American people, he said,
We're clearly and bravely handled in
the platform of 1896, and the party
must stand or fall by those utterances
of that constitution. And as for the
candidate in 1900," continued Mr.. Will
Jams, 1.-The man has already been
named. He is William J. Bryan. 1t
is no more necessary that the friends
of the government by the people
should have one platform than that
they should have one candidate"

Minnesota will be represented at the

from June to November of this year
This was the decision arrived at by
the business men who met with E.
: and chairman of the publicity depart
ment of the exposition; Senator Charles
F. Henderson, present simply by
chance and in his capacity as a promi-
nent citizen Of Omaha, and E. w. Cald-
well, of Sioux City, who accompanied
Mr.. Rosewater, as he said, simply to
tell the people of Minneapolis that it
was not only an Omaha show, but an
exposition in the truest sense of the
word. Otherwise, as a representative
of the orneryest, most active enemy the
city Of Omaha had Sioux City,. he
would not have a word to say in its
favor, and he expected that the citi-
zens Of Minneapolis and ST. Paul would
have no difficulty in recognizing the
soundness of his argument
Mr.. Caldwell's unique way of plead
: ing amused his audience immensely.
and almost Immediately after a vote
was taken showing that every gentle
men present was in favor of a Mime
sofa exhibit at Omaha.
Before the meeting adjourned, while
F. G. Winston was in the chair, a mo-
ton was carried that a committee of
nine be appointed by the chairman, of
which committee Mr.. Winston is to be
chairman. This committee is to select
larger committee, whose duty it will
be to work up sentiment in the matter
