Reports from the seven Minnesota
districts indicate that the Democratic
and Union candidates for congress are
making splendid race, and, in spite OF
Republican braggadocio to the con-
trary, every one of them has a chance
of election Three OF the districts are
certain to go against the Republicans,
and the other four are excellent fight
ing ground for the union forces. The
public careers of the seven gentlemen
who are seeking Democratic votes are
given below Their work bespeaks for
them a hearty Endorsement at the polls
a month hence.

WONT ACCEPT THE
POPE'S MEDIATION
President Mckinley Politely De-
cHnes Ii
FORCED TO WAR BY SPAIN

Rome, April 5-The Pope is in
receipt of note from President
Mckinley which besides dealing
with the suggestion of mediation
by his holiness virtually declares
the Presidents policy on the Span
ish question.
While the President asserts that
he is extremely sensible of the in
itiative taken by the pontiff it is
impossible to overcome the preiu-
dice which rightly or wrongly is
entertained by majority of the
American people against the vati-
cans interference in political mat
ters.
The President declares that
he is opposed to war and
wishes 20 do all that is pos
sible to prevent the resort to
an expedient which is unworthy of
civilization, but he cannot expect
to overcome the sentiment aroused
against the HORRORS forced by Spain
upon Cuba.
1t is learned that the Presidents s
message has been telegraphed to
his holiness through Archbishop
Ireland.

NJ 'K|NLEY'S MESSAGE
WILL Be VIGOROUS
II VIII Positively Reach Con-
gress at Noon Tomorrow
WILL INSURE INTERVENTION

Washington. April 5 The Pres
ident's message will goto Congress
at noon tomorrow. 1t was read
twice at the cabinet meeting last
night and approved.
1t is believed to have been pre-
pared by Attorney General Griggs.
The President informed the cabi-
net that he had arrived at the con-
clusion that intervention in Cuba
should no longer be deferred.
The message. while by no means
radical in its language or conclu-
sions, will after calm recital OF
facts declare that the present CON
dition of affairs is no longer toler-
able.
Intervention must necessarily
follow unless Spain should yield.
A New York Herald special
from Washington, containing what
purports to be synopsis of the
message is believed to be substan-
TALLY correct. 1t states that the
message will not please the extrem-
lists of either the peace or war
parties. 1t recounts at length the
conditions of the war in Cuba and
Spain's impotence there The
President will refer to past nego-
tiations with Spain which show
that the right of the United States
to interfere in Cuban matters has
been acknowledged.
The message will touch upon
the Maine disaster as link
in the chain of evidence proving
Spain incapable of controlling
affairs in Cuba.
To Congress will be left the re-
sponsibility of action. The Presi-
dent will not urge the recognition
of the Independence of Cuba, noI
will he formally recommend inter
vention. But the facts which he
gives, and which are given in all
their awful coloring, are so pre-
sented that he has no doubt OF
what Congress will do.

ranging from the burning of plan

Senate galleries were crowded this

which has made us the laughing

action is expected by the Ameri-

denounced Spain for the Maine
disaster. His speech developed
the fact that eastern senators are
of the same opinion as their west
ern colleagues. He said he will
vote for declaration of war and
he hoped soon to have the oppor-
tunity. Loud applause from the
galleries was promptly checked by
Vice President Hobart.

men IN America, and the practical

O'Clock. He came in on n special
train composed of his famous pri-

The train stopped here about
