McCLEARY CHOSEN.
Y. M. c. A. Senate Decides for Him for
u. S. Senator.

The Y. M. CA. senate took an.
other vote on United States senator
at it's session last night, and the
Republicans carried the day by a
decisive majority, owing to the small
attendance of Independents. Con-
gresham J. T. McCleary was named.
A petition was received from the
directors of the Trans-Mississippf and
International Exposition at Omaha
asking that the state of Blue Earth
be represented there. It.was referred
to special COMMITTEES.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Hughes, appropriating $4,000 for a
monument to be erected at New Ulm
in commemoration of the soldiers and
eli tizens of the state of Blue Earth,
who defended the whites at. the
the Indian outbreak in 1862. 1t was
referred to the committee on mill
tary affairs.
| Senator J. P Kennedy introduced
a resolution requesting the represen-
tatives of the state in Congress to re-
Ifrain from all further attempts to
cripple our present civil service laws,
and to help extend them wherever
possible,
The bill providing for the construc-
I'll on of canal between Lilly and
Crystal lakes was given it's final pas
sage, all opposition having melted
away. .E'-
The capitol removal bill wasrthe
special order, but it had mysteriously
disappeared. This caused warm
discussion, and it is believed that the
opposition knows more about its dis
appearance than they care to tell.
In the executive session a warm
time was had over the governors re-
moval of Gaslight Jones as oil inspec-
tor and the appointment OF, new
one. The subject was finally referred
to the Judiciary committee for a full
investigation, by close vote. .noa
The arbitration bill could not be
found.
ALI of the bills before the senate
were advanced, it being felt that
very little has been accomplished in
the way OF law making.

They Estinate the Number Of Men That
10 Their RegimentsC Would Send
to the Front.

In case that hostilities between the
United States and Spain should break
out, the regular army would probably
be sent to invade Cuba, while the
militia forces of the various states
would undoubtedly be called upon to
protect the sea coast from invasion,
at least until a few volunteer army
corps could be organized and drilled.
Lieut.. Col. Geo. w. Mead, of the
Second Regiment, Minnesota Nation
al Guard, was asked TO-DAY by a>Free
Press reporter whether he would 60
with his regiment and how many
men it could send within twenty-four
hours, if called upon. Col. Mead re-
piled that he would most assuredly go
if the regiment was called out. ut
would not look very well for me not
to answer the summons in case OF war
after having served as an officer for
nine years in times of peace" said he.
Col. Mead also said that within TWEEN.
ty-four hours after the order was re-
ceived, 400 men of the Second regl-
ment would be on their way east. The
regiment has but nine companies at
present, or else he would place the
number at a higher figure. . --.
Lieut.. Col. G. E. Johnson, of the
Third regiment, M. N. G., was asked
similar questions by the reporter to
those put to Col. Mead. He replied
that he would certainly go with his
regiment wherever it was ordered.
He said that he would enjoy few
months outing in the south. lie
thought that $50 men of the Third
regiment would be on board the cars
twenty-four hours after the order to
move had been received.
Several of the veterans of the late
war, in this city, profess to be anx
ious to offer their services to the gov
eminent in case of war. Scores OF
young men are saying that they would
enlist as soon as volunteers are called
for. 1t is likely that company
would be organized in Mankato as
soon as the call should go out. There
is patriotism in large chunks in Man
kato, and troops raised in this city or
county whould be heard from favor
ably from the seat of trouble. r.
Col. Mead took the noon train for
the west today, under orders and on
military business, wearing official
uniform. He was reticent in regard
to the particular nature Of his bust
ness, but admitted that he was going
on matters connected with military
affairs, It is believed that st. James
will be one of the places visited.

THE POSSIBILITY OF WAR,

The situation regarding this coun-
try and Spain is most grave and there
are indications that peace may be
broken at any moment, and the dogs
Of war let loose. But until the report
OF the board of inquiry is made the
judgment of the American people in
the case should be suspended. The
actual facts In the case should be had.
But it is noticeable that while the
authorities at Washington have ex.
pressed belief that the disaster to
the Maine was the result of an acct
dent, any hope they may have hon.
estly have had that it was, is slowly
fading away, and that crises is near
at hand. 1t is said that within the
past day or two the Spanish have be-
gun to realize the seriousness of the
affair, and what the consequences of
a clash with this country may smean.
With all their buster they have been
hugging the delusion that the Ameri.
can people would not fight, that the
possibility OF the destruction of cities
like New York, Boston and other
cities on the sea coast, would cause
them to hesitate in active war
measures. But from this dream she
seems to be awaking to find that while
the people of this country are not de-
sirous Of fighting for the mere sake of
a fight, that there are some things
they consider as being worse than
war, terrible as war is, and among
these is the matter of national dis
honor.
There is no class of American peo-
pie today that desires war with Spain,
If it can with honor be avoided. But
should the report of the board of in
quiry find that the disaster to the
Maine resulted from treachery, it
seems very improbable that war could
be avoided much as the United States
might desire to arrive at settlement
by peaceful means. 1t is known that
President Mckinley stands ready to
act. and act promptly. That large
indemnity will be demanded, and
doubtless the surrendering of Cuba.
Whatever his demand will be, it will
have to be complied with at once.
But can Spain do it? She is now in a
position to reap from the vicious seed
she has for sometime been sowing.
There have been too many Weylers
connected with it's government. They
have indulged in too much talk of a
nature to incite the populace, to now
be enabled to act with GOODNESS and
good judgment. The crises with war
with this country might tend to sober
them down, but it is doubtful. Even
should the Spanish government feel
disposed to consider and agree to the
terms of this country in such. an event,
harsh though they might be, it is not
likely the people would hear to it, but
demand that war be resorted to, or
the government would be overturned.
There have been too many men of
Weyler's stamp inflaming the Spanish
people with the idea that they could
easily conquer us.
There is no question but that war
would be a most serious thing for this
country. We would lose more by it
than would Spain, for we have more
to lose, but bad as that would be, it is
a small matter compared with the
matter of sustaining national honor
that today confronts the American
people.
And as this crises approaches, the
