Death Of Francis z. weimsr.

Francis E. Weimer, well-known eiti-
zen of this place died last Wednesday
morning at the residence of his eldest
son-Frank NJ. Weimer. Deceased had
been in bad health for several years, and
some three months ago was seized with a
dropsical affiiction which terminated in
his death. He was g. years of age and
was a son Of the late Frederick Weimer,
who WAS one Of the pioneer blacksmiths
of this region. All of Frederick Wei
mer's three sons learned the blacksmith
trade and for a period of perhaps one
hundred years he and his sons and grand
sons have been among the leading me-
chanics in that line in Somerset Francis
was man of genial disposition and had
many friends throughout the county who
will be panied TO learn of his death. He
is survived by two sons and three
daughters, his wife having died a few
months since. The funeral took place
Friday afternoon, the services being con-
Quoted by Elder Mullendore, of the Dis
eiple church.

session of l8lI-l2. and the act declaring
war was passed finally by the Lower
House with majority of only 30 votes,
and afterward in the Senate by a ma
jority Of only six. The ''war hawks" as
they were called, were mostly Southern
men, while New England and New York
were the "hot BEDS of the peacemak-
ers.
In the case of the Mexican war mat
ters moved more rapidly. We are far
from being unanimous at this time as to
the necessity or the righteousness of that
struggle on our part. but the people then
were practically unanimous in support
of it.
But after the deliberate and legislative
stage of proceedings is over and war has
been actually declared by act of Con-
gress there are certain observances en-
joined upon us by international law
which would prevent our pouncing forth
with upon the Vizcaya, If it were in the
harbor at that time. or doing violence to
the first body of Spainards who fell in
our way. One of the darkest deeds set
down 10 the credit of Napoleon is that,
upon the rupture with England after the
peace of Amiens, he ordered the imme
diate arrest of all Englishmen then in
France, between 10 and 60 years of age.
and kept most of them imprisoned for
more than 10 years. Even the Turks
feel compelled to do better than that in
these times, for on the outbreak of the
late war with Greece they gave all the
Greeks on Turkish territory 30 days to
get beyond their reach If they could. The
exact mum Dor of days of grace to be given
10 an enemy under such circumstances
does not appear to be fixed by any law,
but the period must be long enough to
give everyone taiI chance to look out
for himself The ambassadors and other
resident officials Of the opposing nation
must be given official notice that their
room is better than their company, and
time to shake of our dust from their feet
in dignified way. When ali this has
been cone, and the President has issued
his proclamation and his call for men,
when the Governors have responded, the
munitions have been prepared, the equip
ments provided, the big guns made ready,
the decks cleared, then, and not until
then, will we be prepared to engage in
the heroic business of vindicating ma
tional honor and slaughtering our fellow
/ men

Representative Lorrimer, Of Illinois, is
authority for the statement that General
Lee viii make some startling disclosures
before the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations when he arrives regarding the
conspiracy TO blow up the Maine. TWAS
announced yesterday that General Lee
would be called before the Committee,
but the nature Of the testimony expected
from him was not disclosed. II under
stand that General Lee is to supply the
missing link in the testimony said he.
"My information is that Captain Sigsbee
is in possession Of the facts, but does rot

son who gave them 10 him releases him
from the secrecy imposed. That person.

IN THE BEGINNING.
How War is Declared Among the Nations
Of the World.

How War is Declared Among the Nations
of the World.
In Great Britain and most other mon
archical governments the power to de-
clare war is the exclusive perogstive of
the crown. But in this country. when it
is decided that we have a casus belli ON
our hands and that war must or ought to
be made, it is necessary to begin pro-
ceedings in accordance with t1at clause
in the federal constitution which stipu-
lates that the sole power to declare war
rests in Congress, says the New Orleans
Picayune. The President may recon-
mend 1t, or even urge it, as he has done
on two occasions in our history, but Con-
gress must agree with him and pass the
enabling act before state of war can
exist. And in this necessary action Of
the federal legislature lie unlimited pos
sibilities of unlimited Peffers and Joneses
and other six-day orators putting of the
opening of hostilities for an indefinite
period.
In the matter Of war with other ma
tions we have only two precedents to go
upon. the war with England in 1872 and
the war with Mexico in 1916, and for GER
tain reasons neither of these is very help
ful for present guidance. Looking back
upon il now, the American people of to-
day are unanimous in the conviction that
the war Of 1872 was perfectly justifiahle,
and the only wonder is that the American
people of that day endured the studied in
suits and outrageous conduct Of the Eng
lish on land aud sea as long as they did
without striking back. But clear and good
as the provocaticn for that war seems TO
US now. 1t did not seem so to all the
people then. The question whether war
with Ezgland should be declared was
made party issue between the Federal
lists, led by Randolph. and the Republi-
cans. led by Clay, the former declaring
that peace ought TO be maintained at al
most any price, and the latter insisting
that not day ought to be lost in aveng
ing the wrongs which America had suf-
fered at the hands Of England. There
was f1ercei and acrimonious debate on
the subject, lasting through the whole

AMERICAS REPLY.

The President replied as follows:
The Government of the United States
recognizes the good will which has
prompted the friendly communication
of the representatives of Germany, Aus
tris- Hungary, France. Great Britain,
Italy and Russia, as set forth in the adj
dress of your Exeellencies, and shares
the hope therein expressed that the out
come of the situation in Cuba may be the
maintenance of peace between the United
States and Spain by affording the neces-
sary guarantees for the re establishment
of order in the island, so terminating the
chronic condition of disturbance there
which so deeply Injuries the interests and
menaees the tranquility of the American
nation by the character and consequences
of the struggle thus kept up at our doors,
beside shocking its sentiment of hu-
manity.
TO END AN ISsUFFERABLE SITUATION.
"The Government of the United States
appreciates the humanitarian and disin-
terested character of the communication
now made on behalf OF the Powers
named, and for its part is confident that
equal appreciation will be shown for its
earnest and unseIfish endeavors to fulfill
duty to humanity by ending situation
the indefinite prolongation of which has
bscome insufferable.''

The Minnetonka Yacht club held a
very enthusiastic meeting in the
rooms of the Jobbers' association, Min
neapolis, last night. The question Of
completing membership in the Inland
Lake Yachting association was
broached by Fred Hopkins, in a res
olution declaring 1t as the sense Of the
meeting that the club take steps look
ing to affiliatior with the central body.
After some discussion, the motion was
adopted.
The board Of directors reported the
revised rules which will govern the
club next season. Slight amendments
only change them from what they
have been in the past, and these were
made to make them conform with the
Interlake rules, so that Minnetonka
boats could be entered in interlake
events. The report Of the board of di-
rectors was adopted unanimously.
Fred Hopkins announced that he
would this season build a boat in the
one-rate special class and suggested
that others who intended to build de-
clare themselves at once The an
nouncement had the decired effect, and
the following may be expected to add
to the Minnetonka fleet: Peat and
