Manila may or may not have fallen. 1t
depends upon whether Admiral Dewey
has demanded It's surrender. Until the
troop ships arrive it is not likely that he
would make the demand, not having
troops at hand to preserve order ant
keep the peace. But Ii the ships have
arrived it is altogether probable that Ma.
Mia is in Dewey's hands. 1t conld no,
possibly hold out against combined at.

too late to save Manila with that sort

The final decision of the Spanish gov
eminent not to exchange Hobson and his
crew who sank the Merrimac is some
what pulling, inasmuch as at first it
seemed ready and willing to effect an ex-
change. One explanation that might be
offered, that it had found them very
useful as a protection of the fortifica-
lions at Santiago against the fire of the
American feet, becomes untenable in
view of the fact that Admiral Sampson
has received positive information that
they are no longer confined in MORO
Castle, but have been removed to the
city. Possibly the Spanish commander
thinks wo have no Spanish prisoners in
our hands the equal with them in value,
and in this he is not far from right. Of
course we have no way of compelling the
Spaniards to exchange these men if they
refuse, but it is certain that if any harm
befals them while in Spanish hands for
which the Spantards are in any measure
responsible, the American people will in
sist upon the condign punishment of the
persons directly or indirectly to blame.

The war department believes that Gen.
Skaters expedition has arrived at San
tiago, though it does not profess to have
received any report to that effect 1t be-
lieves it has arrived because it was expect
ed to arrive by this time if it met with no
accidents, and none have been reported.
How long 1T will take to land the troops
and the supplies and munitions can only
be conjeotured. Much depends upon the
cilities which the place selected affords
and tho amount of resistance from the
Spaniards. If the troops have to be con-
veyad ashore in small boats of course the
process must necessarily consume good

''It will be absolutely unique in one re-

canons of good taste. This is, of course,

takes interest, and, as regards public fig

"And politics?"
''There will be none. The characteristics
of politicians will be discussed with abso-

of a writer who has had exceptional OPP

From what standpoint will you criticise
the arts?"

will be the methods, habits of composition,
temperament, of a creative musician. Tine
career of an artist will be dealt with In
preference to the appreciation of the &C
complished development of his art. The
rise and fall of fortunes in the world OF
finance will give interesting material which
will make for proof of the secret of the
success of some. the falling of others.

of Europe, who will be on the lookout for
personalities who are potentially eminent.
Social matters will be well looked after,

Leaving great verse unto little clan?

Rounded by thee, my song should die away

Older still and then we die,

Business, love and politics,
Don't you.know;
Clubs and parties, cliques and sets,
Fashions, follies, sins, regrets,
Struggles, straggles, cigarettes,

And we worry through each day,

And it's all 80 fiat and dead,

That is life when all Is said,

satisfaction Of any fair minded per.
son, but the chairman declaaed il
lost, which was an unjust decision.
Adjournment was taken until after
noon. .sas.
After dinner the resolution was
presented which had been prepared
in advance, and then the fun began.
! The resolution was an insult to
every voter in the district. Speeches
by Carlson, Everett and Baker fol-
flowed. The first two clearly pointed
out the injury the resolutions would
do to the party. They favored nor
fought any candidate, but brought
out the point, if any candidate
that was nominated for any Office
and supported by Clough, was that
sufficient cause for denouncing the
candidate and charge machine rule, 3,
Mr.. Baker denounced Van SAINT, but
lauded other candidates to the sky.
A motion was made to table the
resolution. Great trouble was exper-
fenced in counting the vote. A mo-
ton to vote by counties and thus
show what counties were represented
and the number of representatives
voting. This the Hays gang defeated
they not wanting to be shown up in
their true light. The vote to-. table
the resolution was taken and declared
lost, by an unfair count Those who.
had the best interests of the party at
heart left the hall in a body A com:
mitt ee was then authorized to be
appointed to confer with like confer
ence committees from other sdlstricts.
The action of this conference will
work untold harm to the party in
terests.
The conference was packed with
residents of Mankato by the Hays
crowd in order to carry any action
that was seen fit.
The action taken at the conference
is in no way binding upon any voter
of this district.
At the Mankato conference the
worst machine was organized that
co,.ld ever be srumised.
The action of some of the citizens
of Mankato has brought a reflection
on their town by allowing and taking
part in the conference in the unjust
manner in which they did to call a
body Of men to- the town and then
run ina sufficient force to control the
meeting.
The action of conference will
do more to nominate and elect Van
Sant>than allthe other influence CON-
bined could do to defeat him.
Those attending the conference
from here were; D. Shell, E. X. Smith
G. H. Shechter, J. Bingham, A. G..
