The u. Cadets

If there is a war with Spain the Uni
versity cadets wish to be counted in,
and although certain influences were
brought to bear to prevent the holding
of a mass meeting, the cadets decided
that some action should be taken to
express the patriotism of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. A consultation of
the officers of the cadet corps resulted
in the following telegram to President
Mckinley:
William Mckinley, President of the
United States: The University of Min

war with Spain, tenders the govern

Wolf Harvest.

The wolf harvest In Polk county is
fairly on, and during the past week the
county auditor has paid bounty on 20.
The animals are for the most part cubs
and the capture generally included an
entire litter. In the eastern portion of
the county these animals were very
troublesome during the latter Fart of
the winter, and became so bold that
they frequently carried off sheep,
calves and poultry in considerable
numbers. In several instances they
were successful in worrying deer until
the animals were compelled to make a
stand and fight them, when they al

ADOLPH LUETGERT GUILTY
VERDICT REACHE IN TH E FAAfO US
MURDER CASE.

A Sentence of Imprisonment for Life I'M
posed-The Prisoner Was Calm and
Laughed in Manner Showing Plainly
That He Did Not Regard the Verdict In
Serious Light.
Chicago, Feb. 9.--Adolph L. Leutgert
was tonight convicted of the murder
of his wife and sentenced to impris-
onment in the penitentiary for life. 1t
was 1880 o'clock when word was sent
to the court room by the jury that they
had agreed upon verdict. The news
Of verdict had spread like lightning
to the street and in a few minutes the
court room was janlmed with news
papermen, policemen and curious spec
tators.
At 11:15 Judge Gary entered the room
and at the same instant Leutgert and
his guards entered through the door
leading from the Jail. The prisoner
was calm. In a minute the jury filed
in. The spectators watched them
eagerly. Not one of the jurors glanc-
ed toward the prisoner. When the jury
had taken their seats Judge Gary said:
Gentlemen, have you agreed on a
verdict?''
I'VE have" was the reply.
''Mr. Clerk, read the verdict" said
Judge Gary. Clerk Knopf then with a
tremor of excitement in his voice.
read:
I'VE, the jury. find the defendant
guilty as charged in the indictment,and
fix his punishment at Imprisonment for
life"
There was hush, and all eyes turn
ed on Leutgert. He laughed in a
manner that showed plainly that he
did not regard the verdict in a seri-
Gus light, comparatively speaking.
Attorney Harmon requested that the
jury be polled. This was done, each
juror affirming the verdict. Mr.. Har-
mon then entered a motion for a new
trial, which will be argued within a
few days. Luetgert was led back to
Jail in apparently good spirits and
comforted by the assurances Of his
lawyers that he would get new trial
and that the state would not be able to
convict him second time.
| After the announcement Of the .ver-
dict he was surrounded by reporters
and friends. He said that the verdict
was surprise. Il don't see how the
evidence justifies such verdict. But
one thing is sure, the supreme court
will give me new trial and / shall
be acquitted" From the time wher
| the prisoner was led in to receive the
verdict and when the two bailiffs con.
Quoted him back to his cell his face
showed not one tremor of any sort Of
emotion After arriving at the jail, he
| retired, apparently undisturbed by the
| adverse verdict.

Members of His Church Make Additional
Allegations Against Him.
Wilton, Feb. 9.--The Norfield Congre-
gational church at Weston was again
crowded to the doors to-day, on the
continuation of the hearing before the
mutual council of Fairfield county Con-
gregational church, of the case of Rev.
C. M. Arthur and the aggrieved church
members. The revelations of yester-
day with the intimation that strong
charges affecting the character of some
of the church members who are opposA
ing Mr.. Arthur, would be presented to-
day, not only attracted most of those
who were present yesterday, but many
others, so that it was hardly possible
to obtain standing room when the
council reconvened.
The morning session opened at II
o'clock and when adjournment was
taken for luncheon the aggrieved MEM
bers of the church had completed their
evidence. They supplemented the evil
dence of yesterday by additional docu-
mentary evidence, including letters
from the father and uncle of the pres
ent Mrs. Arthur, which were by no
means commendatory Of Mr.. Arthur.
The church was then cleared of all
spectators and the council went into a
secret session. during which Mr. Fer
guson, Oscar Budd and Samuel Fan
cher gave testimony as to vile stories
told by Mr.. Arthur while he has been
pastor of the church. This closed the
testimony for the aggrieved and re-
cess was taken at 1 p. m. The council
will reports it's verdict early next week.

MAssACR UsETTS ROADaIAKERS.
Com missioner Macdonald n Guest at Their
Annual Meeting.


State Highway Commissioner James
II. Macdonald was guest ct the an
nual meeting of the Massachusetts
Highway association at the Parker
house in Boston on Tuesday, the Sth
inst. At the business meeting at Ii
o'clock officers were elected and reports
from different committees received.
Dinner was served at 1890. Commits
sioner Macdonald was called on for a
speech and listened in turn to speeches
from other good roads experts who
were present.
The commissioner says he was treat
ed splendidly and was most favorably
impressed with the Massachusetts
Highway association, so much so that
he wishes Connecticut could have an
association just like it. The Massa-
chusetts association is made up of the
superintendents Of streets of the diff
ferent cities, the division and resident
engineers engaged on the highways
and the friends of the good roads gen.
orally. These members meeting from
time to time report on the different
phases Oh the WOTk WHICH COME unuer
their observation and discuss questions
and read papers relating to highway
construction am repair. So prosper
Gus and far, reaching has the associa-
tion become that it has been thought
best to establish branch association,
the Connecticut Valley Highway Di-
vision," with headquarters at Spring
field.
At the meeting Tuesday Commission
ers McClintock of Massachusetts and
Chase of Rhode Island were present
and spoke on the work in their respec-
tive states! From their reports, Com
missioner Macdonald judged that the
good roads work in Connecticut will
not suffer by comparison with the work
in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Not only would Commissioner Mac
donald like to see a highway associa-
tion organized in Connecticut, compos-
ed of the members of boards of pub
lie works, superintendents df streets
and other active good roads men, but
he would like to see village improve
ment societies organized in all the
small towns, with a. central state or
ganization. He believes that much
good work could be accomplished by
societies thus organized.

Mason Makes Fierce Attack Upon Spain
His Speech.
Washington, Feb. 9.-For more than
three hours to-day the senate chambes,
rang with eloquent appeals in behalf
of the Cuban insurgents. Announced
speeches were delivered by Mr.. Cannon
of Utah and Mr.. Mason of Illinois in
advocacy Of the adoption of the resolu-
tions which they presented to the sem
ate. Following Mr.. Cannon's speech,
Mr.. Hale of Maine addressed the sem
ate briefly, urging the senate to up
hold the policy of the administration.
Mr.. Mason followed In long and at
times fiery speech in which he urged
the president Immediately to intervene
in the Cuban war and end the struggle
which on both sides had become so
brutal as to shock the sensibillties of
the civilized world. ST am charged with
seeking war; exclaimed the senator,
"but my resolution is for peace. One
word from this administration would
bring peace to this contest and we be-
lieve it would bring independence to
Cuba. The thumbscrews of an inquis-
tion have again been brought into use
In Cuba. The pinchers that tore the
flesh from human bones has again
contributed to the carnival of cruelty.
Three hundred thousand people starv-
ed! Three hundred thousand more
marching to the grave! And vet the
cry is raised that war is being sought,
when the one and only cry is for peace
and for an end to this most atrocious
war.
Mr. Mason said he believed that GER
tainly not less than 100000 persons had
fallen victims to Spanish brutality and
he felt that the number was not less
than 100000. "Shall we wait" he in
quired. until the rest of them have
been annihilated?" In conclusion, Mr.
Mason said: "Mr. President, if there
is to be a war, let it be a war; not of
our seeking, not war in which our
soldiers shall carry torches in their
hands, but let it be war either in
defense of our country or in defense of
the imperishable jewels of humanity,
jewels more sacred than life, a war
of glory and of honor" On motion of
Nj. Hale the resolution was referred to
the committee on foreign relations.

Matter Before Spanish Cabinet-Mc-
Kinley Will Act CautiousIy-Cuban Day
in Senate-Mason Makes n Glowing At
tack Upon Spain-He Says: "If There la
to be War Let 1t be One of Glory and of
Honor"
Washington, Feb. 9.-The publication
in the morning newspapers of what
purported to be an autograph letter
written by Senior Dupuy dc LONE, the
Spanish minister, to his friend Canela-
jas, criticising the president with ut
most freedom, caused an actual sensa-
ton in official circles of Washing On
and soon will be followed by Minister
de Lome's departure from the United
States. At the outset there was dis
position to question the authenticity
of the letter. but as bit by bit the cir
cumstantial evidence accumulated, un-
til it was finally announced officially
that the minister declined to deny the
authorship Of the letter, all doubt was
dissipated and the only question that
remained was as to the line of action
to be pursued by our government to-
ward the offending minister.
The writing of this letter is unques-
tionably an offense against the ameni-
ties of diplomatic relations and such
offenses almost invariably have been
regarded in the capital of the United
States, as in other capitals, as suffi-
cient ground for the termination of the
official status of the letter writer. AS
soon as the letter appeared in the
press, the state department officials
began an effort to settle it's authen-
ticity and when it had learned all that
could be developed on that point and
had been told that the minister would
not deny writing it, the next step be-
gan.
The president is resolved that, no
matter what happens, Spain shall not
have the vestige of an excuse for a
quarrel with us. He therefore has
made up his mind very promptly, and,
after long consultation with Mr.. Day,
the assistant secretary of state, that he
has no reason to change the conclu-
sion; that. our proper course is to let
Minister Woodford present copy of
the letter to the foreign office at Ma
drid and request that the charge of the
Spanish minister's authorship be in
xestigated by his own official supe-
riors.
This amounts to an invitation to re-
call the minister, presuming that he
himself has not already taken steps
to resign. No doubt is entertained OF
compliance with the implied sugges-
tion, but in case there should be undue
delay in acting the state department
would feel called upon to move directly
In the matter and give the minister
his passports, as was done when Sir
Julian Pauncefote's predecessor wrote
the celebrated Murchison letter.
