In the laws of 1897 there is a
chapter entitled "an act to prevent
persons from requesting or soliciting
the placing OF the name OF anybody
ON any Jury list" The act was
passed at the last session of the leg
islature and in substance says that
it shall be unlawful for any person to
directly or Indirectly solicit any
officer charged with the preparing Of
any jury list to place any name on
the jury list and that it shall be un-
lawful for any officer charged with
preparing the jury list to place
thereon the name Of anybody at any
PERSONS solicitation or request. It
is provided that any person whose
name is placed on the list in VIOLA
ton OF the act shall be disqualified
for service and further there is a
penalty of not more than 500 fine
nor less than $40 fine or not more
than 80 days nor less than 10 days
in the county Jail or both.
Hon. John Lind says in the New
Ulm Review:
"SenatorRingdal is right when he says
the coming state campaign should be
fought out solely on state issues. He
scores the present railway commits
sion and declares that the record OF
this body is such that the railroad
compa MES could we'll afford to pay
all the expenses together with all the
salaries of it's members. 1t stands
as block to all remedial legislation,
a fraud upon the people and a trav
estry upon the sovereign power OF the
state. Beyond the all important
function OF drawing a salary it's
members will not, or dare not, ven
ture an opinion as to their own pow
ers. To the people iG turns a face of
Pecksnitin hypocrisy, while to the
corporations it winks the other eye.
It has drawn pay for protecting
medieval extortion and irresponsible
and tyrannical discrimination long
enough. It is time to consign this
useless luxury to the limbo of ex-
ploded frauds and insist upon rail-
road legislation by legislative enact
ment. I believers is high time that
the anti-republican forces of the state
take up this issue and that if they
don't do it the people will soon rise
in their sovereign capacity and act in
dependent of all recognized parties

ATTITUDE OF PORTUGAL.
Her Minister Expects News OF Ac,top
Today.

Flscount de Santo-Thryso, the Portu-
guese minister, called at the State Depart-
Hieht TINS noon and had conferences with
ActinS Secretary Moore and Assistant Sec
retafy Adee. Great interest attached to
the visit, owing to the delay of Portugal in
issuing her neutrality decree, and the feel
ing that this delay to some extent favored
Spain, in allowing her feet to remain at
the Cape Verde Islands.
The minister's call was not, however for
the purpose of giving notice of Portugars
neutrality. or any step in that direction,
as he said his government had not We.
communicated with him on the subject
AT the same time the minister took occa-
sion to express his strong personal convic-
uon that Portugal would maintain the
strictest neutrality between the United
States and Spain. He pointed out that in
a matter of this moment there had not
been sufficient time for any official action
He called attention to the fact that war
was not declared until the oath instant,
and the fact became public on the 18th.
The official notifications as to the existence
of war would reach Lisbon, considering the
difference in time and the allowance for
transmission, on tie 10Th Then would fol-
low the calling OF a cabinet council and
that deliberation due to question Of this
solemnity. This would bring the matter
down to today, and, although not officially
advised from Lisbon, the minister felt con-
fdent that he would receive official in
formation very soon, possibly late today
AS to the reports from London that the
United States had sent a threatening mott
hcation to Portugal that she would be re-
sarded as an ally of Spain unless the Span
ish fleet was ordered from the Cape Verde
Islands. no continuation could be secured
from State Department officials or from the
Portuguese minister. On the contrary.
these reports were dismissed as highly i'm
probable.
The authorities here were gratified at the
minister's expression of confident belief
that Portugal's neutrality would soon be
communicated. and this served to allay
the growing concern over the delay.
When the minister's attention was called
to dispatches announcing that no reports
would be allowed to leave Cape Verde con-
cerning the movement of the Spanish sbips
he said this Of course cid not apply to Off
ciai information transmitted by United
States officials at Cape Verde and else
where to the United States government
Under such circumstances it would apnear
that the authorities here will not be cur
tailed In any way in their sources of tnfor-
nation as to the movement of the Game

How Admiral SnmpsOn's Action In Re.
gnrded at the Navy Department..
The greatest interest was shown at the
Navy Department today In the telegraphed
reports of the engagement at Matanzas,
Cuba, yesterday between the shore bat
teries and three vessels of Admiral Samp-
sons feet. The Navy Department itself
had absolutely no report of this affair from
any Of Its agents any of thu officers of
the blockading fleet. It, Of course, could
not be expected that news could be had
from Havana, with Spanish censor man
ming that end Of the cable. The fact that
Admiral Sampson has not made any report
to the Secretary as yet, notwithstanding he
must have had the opportunity to commu-
nicate with Key West that was enjoyed by
the press. leads the officials of the depart
| nent to believe that the affair was not of
great consequence. Indeed, they say 1t Is
inconceivable that any very extensive dam
age could have been inflicted upon properly
placed batteries at the distance reported,
varying from two and a half to four miles,

ing which 1t Il said the engagement lasted.

statement that the admiral had no inten-

absence of any landing force the admiral

the victory he might gain thro, xh a reduc-
tion OF the forts, and the Spanfards might
have ample opportunity over night to re-
pair In large measure the damage infict-
