Democrats Expect to Elect Nineteen
Congressman in New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Republi-
cans are fighting to keep the twent-
eight congressman from this state they
now have. They frankly admit that
there is no prospect of increasing this
number by more than one. If the ex,
pecta tions Of the Democratic managers
are fulfilled by the gaining of seven
districts there will be thirteen Demo-
cratic representatives in congress from
this state instead of six.
Besides being certain Of capturing
these seven additional districts, the
Democrats declare that there are ten
others which can be reasonably figured
as doubtful. The Democrats are hope,
full Of getting six Of these doubtful dis
tricts. This would give them nineteen
representatives from this state, a gain
of thirteen.
Chairman Su1zer said today that the
declaration that nineteen Democratic
congressman would be elected from this
state is based on better reasons than
those which appear on the surface.
Should it be done the figures would be.
Democrats, 10; Republicans, Is.
''I do not feel at liberty to go intS
particulars" he said, but any person
who watches the progress of the camc
paign will easily discover signs plain
ly indicating a large gain in congress-
men"

POSITION MADE PLAIN.
Spain Understands What Is Wanted
by the United States.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE joint session of
the peace commissions ended at 3:40 p.
m. The commissions will meet again
on Wednesday, next. During today's
session the commissioners were occu-
pied with the consideration of the
Sranish presentation Of Tuesday last
and the American answer submitted on
Friday relating to Cuba and the debt
of the island The examination Of the
American written canvass OH the sub
ject was not concluded today and will
be continued at the next joint meet
ing, following which the Spaniards will
doubtless reply in writing, the con-
clusion Of the subject soon following.
The interchanges regarding Cuba are
now so advanced that the Spaniards
will not fail to understand the United
States determination not to assume
part or the whole of the so-called Gu
ban debt of $400, 900, 900. 1t should not,
however, be understood that the Amer
leans, during the course Of the con-
troversy, have been unmindful of GER
tain local burdens, like the municipal
obligations Of the West Indies, public
buildings, improvements, etc. It must
be understood that the American atti-
tude in Cuba is held not to be that of
an acquired power Of territory over it's
obligations. The Spaniards generally
contend that sovereignty involves bur-
dens as we'll as blessings, and that both
should pass together from Spain.
Close following this contention, the
Spaniards are pressing for a construc-
ton of the word "relinquish" in the
Cuban article Of the protocol.
I'VE must" they urge, 'relinquish
sovereignty over Cuba, but to whom =?
We have not agreed to relinquish it
to the Cubans-we relinquish it to the
United States.''
Thus crystallizing their reasoning
and insistence, the Spaniards bind
debt and sovereignty together and urge
that the REIMBURSEMENT must be to
the United States. While this conten-
ton is keenly and vigorously support
ed, it has not shaken the position of
the Americans, who cut the thread of
Spanish diplomacy in the middle Of the
war to "relinquish' by practically as
suring the Spaniards that they need
not be anxious as TO whom to relin-
| quish to, but must conform to the fourth
article of the protocol, which pledges
Spain that Cuba, Porto Rico and the
other Spanish islands Of the West In
dies shall be Immediately evacuated. -
Briefly, the American response to
! Spanish diplomacy on construction and
| definition was that the words 'relin-
| quish' and "evacuate" are inter-
| changeable and have the same mean
| ing. Thus, three sessions were given
up to patiently meeting Spain's views
and contentious limiting the protocol
pledge to relinquishing sovereignty and
title over Cuha,- and there is a proba-
bility of two sessions more.

DIVORCE LAW STANDS.
No Change Made by Episcopal COun-
Gil at Washington.

NO Change Made by Episcopal COun-
ell at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct 17-Important
action was taken by the respective
bodies Of the Episcopalian council here
today on two subjects which have caus-
ed much discussion during the delib-
eratfons Of those two bodies. The
house Of bishops, by vote Of 81 to a.
rejected the propositions bearing upon
the subject Of remarriage of divorced
persons, designed to take the place Of
those now in existence. The present
canons on that subject therefore re-
main In force.
In the house of deputies, after a de-
bate which has continued for several
days, step In the direction Of church
unity was taken. The discussion of
this subject was preclpitated by the
ofrer1ng of an amendment to the con-
st1tut1on by Rev. DR.. Huntington. of
New York. While agreeing with the
principle of this, the deputies finallv
decided to adopt a briefer amendment
offered by Mr.. Faude. of Minnesota, as
follows
But provision may be made by canon for
rectories Of worship by congregations not al
ready In union with this church, who are
willing to accept the spiritual oversight of
the bishop Of the diocese
The substitute seemed to satisfy DR..
Huntington, who, under the rules, was
given the privilege Of closing the de-
bate. He declined to delay the vote,
however, merely saying he wished to
express his thanks to Almighty God for
the outcome.
The whole substitute then was for
mally adopted as an addition to article
10, Of the Constitution, the vote stand
ing: Ayes, clerical, IS; lay, 81; noes
clerical, l; lay, 4, and divided clerical
2.
This ended debate which has been
In progress by the house for several
days.
The amendment, If adopted by the
bishops, will go to the dioceses for ac-
tion and must be passed by the next
general convention before it becomes
| operative.
The bishops today named Messrs.
Dudley, of Kentucky, and Hall, of Yer
mont, as fraternal delegates to attend
the next session of the general synod
of the Church of England in Canada.
Arrangements were adopted for the
celebration Of st. Luke's day In St
! Johns church, in which Bishop Satter-
lee and Rev. John Dix will participate
The prayers to be offered will have
special reference to the obligations i'm
posed on this government in assuming
sovereignty over Porto Rico.
The house Of bishops concurred in
the action of the house of deputies,
setting aside the northern third of In
diana as new diocese, and also pro-
posed the setting apart of the southern
third Of the state as a missionary ju-

should subside, and the question Of an
of the danger to the rescuers, was be-
ing discussed when the Flora was
sighted The water was so rough that
the little steamer could not come up
to the dock, and citizens with small
boats and lanterns were compelled to
go out and take off the members of the
expedition. The Flora reached here at
7:30 this evening and brought back the
news of the council at Bear island and
the decision of the Indians to surrender
on Wednesday.
Mules and wagons for the use of the
soldiers were sent from here to 10th
rop this morning. A special train was
secured by Gen. Bacon, and fifty SOL
diers, under command of Lieuts
Houlem and Wygant, acted as escort
to the agency, nine miles distant. The
mules and wagons are in charge of
Lieut.. Stetson.
Lothrop also furnished a small side
excitement today. There was a rough
and tumble mix-up in a saloon, in
which Miles Thurston, a lumberman
and trustee of the village, lost part
of his nose. Charles Mullen was the
man responsible for the loss. He called
Thurston up to the bar, grabbed him by
the ears and started in. The piece Bit
ten out remained in the mouth of the
assailant.
Mullen is under arrest at Lothrop,
while Thurston has returned to Walker.
There is great Indignation here and
some talk Of a lynching, as Walker
people regard the assault as unpro-
Voked.

PARIS, Oct. 17.-Felipe Agoncillo,
the representative of ,Aguinaldo, the
ipsurgent leader of the Philippine ISL
ands, was interviewed today by the
correspondent here Of the Associated
Press. Agoncillo's apartments at the
Hotel Continental are on the same floor
as the rooms occupied by the United
States peace commissioners. He is de-
sirous Of seeing the commissioners and
placing Aguinaldo's views Of the future
Of the Philippines before them.
Would the F1lipinos accept annexa-
tion or a protectorate Of the United
States?" Agoncillo was asked.
1--WE want independence, but the FIJI
pinos have recognized government, of
which Aguinaldo is president and 1t
will determine our attitude towards a
protectorate or annexation
Should the United States take all or
part Of the Philippine islands would the
Filtpinos fight the United States as
they have fought Spain?"
II cannot answer without possible
error; but think it would be unwise
for the United States to divide the
Philippine islands. They should take
all or none"
'If the United States give up the
Philippine islands, will the Filipinos
continue to fight the spanish?"
II think So
"Is it true the Filfpinos do not OBJ
ject to the continuance of the native
priests?''

will have sole charge Of the govern
ment of the island until some other
arrangement is made. It is quite Prob
able that when the president returns
he may designate military governor
for the island to act in that capacity
until congress can provide for terri
torial civil government. No instruc-
tions have been sent to Gen. Brooke
regarding his duties after tomorrow,
when the island formally passes over
to the United States, and all Spanish
authority Is withdrawn, but he is
acquainted with the proclamations Of
the president regarding the manage
nent Of affairs. Gen. Brooke 1t is un-
derstood, intends to return to the
United States as soon as the affairs Of
the island become more settled, but
probably before that time military
governor will be named as was done

Chicago-My Dear Sir; 1 regret that duties
here will prevent acceptance Of the invi-

to be present at the national peace jubilee
to be held on the 18th and 10Th of the present

they should celebrate the termination Of the

MOORHEAD, Mimi, Oct 17.-(Spe-
clal.)-John Lind arrived at 1:3O tOdav
from Crookston, and this evening smoke
Tor one hour and a half TO one of the
largest political audiences ever assam
oIed In Moorhead. The hall would not
mold the people and many were turned
away. In consideration Of the fact that
a cold north wind was blowing. acc-nn-
panied by snow and rain, it was pain
that there was unusual interest in the
speaker and the cause he champions.
The audience was made up almost
wholly OF voters-farmers, laborers,
business men and professional men. As
MI. Lind brought out the strong points
IN his argument and drove them home
against the stand taken by Eustis, the
audience applauded enthusiastically.
Mr.. Lind was escorted to Fraternity
hall by local fusion leaders, headed bv
the Moorhead band. He was intro
duced by G. A. Nye, county attorney.
In his speech Mr.. Lind said Mr.. Eustis
was tied hand and foot by the corpora.
t1ons who had contributed to his cam
paign expenses, and if elected governor
he could not disregard their wishes IL
he desired. He said Mr.. Eustis' tenants
In his Minneapolis buildings were the
elevator companies and the grain deal
ers and unless they were allowed to
dictate the appointment Of railroad
commissioners, chief grain inspectors
and assistant inspectors, there would
be trouble.
Mr.. Lind said his personal success
was matter of Indifference to him
as, after his absence from the state.
he would much rather he was at home
with his family and where he could
give his business attention. The only
reason he had gone into the campaign
was because he believed reforms
should be made in the administration
Of public affairs.
He spoke Of the fusion ticket as
strong. Mr.. Lind was accompanied by
Alex McKinnon, Of Crookston, candi-
date for state treasurer.
Mr.. Lind covered fully the ground
covered in his other speeches, though
shortening on some topics and lengthen-
ing ON others, as was most suitable to
his audience.
There is no mistalhing the effect Of
Mr.. Lind's visit here and of his speech.
He is undoubtedly the favorite and will
poll a larger vote in this county than
in 1896, when he received a majority
Of 800 over Clough
Mr.. Lind leaves tonight for Herman,
Grant county, where he speaks in the
forenoon. He will drive to Graceville
and speak in the afternoon and then

the two sides has become more pro-
nounced within the past few days, but
this Is attributed to mistaken ideas
existing on the part Of the Spanish
public men regarding the sentiment III
the United States, and the probable
results of-yarying political struggles
here. Under these erroneous impress
sions, the Spanish commissioners have
persisted beyond what were believed to
be their powers Of endurance upon
their efforts to secure by some means
an arrangement, by hook or crook,
preferably just now by getting the
United States to accept title to Cuba
for the assumption Of the Cuban debt
by this country, or at least to relieve
Spain from that heavy obligation.
The Spanish effort will not prevail,
but the United States commissioners
are retarded In the consummation of
their work thereby

DRASTIC ORDERS.
They Are Said to Have Been Sent

They Are Said to Have Been Sent
Out From Walker by Gen. Bacon.
DULUTH, Mimi, Oct 17-Gen. Ba-
con sent out drastic orders tonight to
the troops stationed along the Fosston
branch
Word received here tonight from
Camp Morley, Bemidji, says that Col
Johnson, In command Of the troops at
that point, had received from Gen. Ba-
con, through Adjt. Gen. Sturgis, a per-
emptory order to- intercept any Indian
or Indians who might pass his guards,
going north or south, and to disarm
them, force them to surrender or kill
them outright. Col. Johnson is in COM
mand of the Fourteenth regiment VOL
unteers stationed at Bemidji, Ferris
and Cuba.
The same order has been received by
Lieut.. Moore, commanding the detach-
ment of Third infantry regulars at
Leech lake dam; Lieut.. Frissel COM
manding the detachment of Third reg
ulars at Winnibigoshish dam; Maj. E.
D. Libbey, commanding Battery A,
state militia, at Cass Lake, and Capt.
Bennett, commanding Battery B, state
militia, at Deer River.
Since few days after the arrival of
the regulars and volunteers along this
road the preparations made by the
commanders in obedience to the orders
of Gen. Bacon have made it plain that
he is preparing for an active and pro-
lorged campaign against the Indians.
Tonights orders make it certain that
the trouble is by no means over if any
red man attempts to resist the execu-
tion of this latest order.
Adjt. Gen. Sturgis, asked last night In
regard to the story telegraphed from
Duluth, said that there was no truth
in it. He had not issued such orders
as were referred to In the dispatch.
