GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK

Theodore Roosevelt Is prominently
~ man OF action, and generally OF
right action. Az governor of the
great state of New York he Is making
n great record. In n recent article,
under the heading 81 governor who
governs, The ST. Paul Pioneer Press
says:
"Now that the New York legislature
has adjourned and the people of that
state have taken account of stock, the
conviction IL borne In upon them that
Roosevelt IL ~ irrepressible rs ever.
Not content with having himself elect
ed governor he proceeded To govern
with I'm energy and withnl II degree OF
wisdom that has come ~ an eyo-open-
cr even to his friends. The respectable
portion of the New York press, rcpub-
iican, democratic and mugwump,
unites In culogizing the lately dcfunct
legislature for the things 1t did and
the things 1t left undoue, and mixes
with its oulogics enthusiastic COM
ments on the responsibility of the gov
ernor for the excellent record.
"As " result of this knock-down and
drag -out way Of doing the gubornator-
ial business, the legislature has won
fame for itself and for the state, has
passed several bills that will help to
protect the commonwealth against mis-
government and passed no bin that
was harmful. One of its last acts was
the passage OF the bill requiring the
holders OF franchises to bear there
share of the burden OF taxation, 4
measure that will greatly relieve tn,
burden of the real estate tax. Further
more, 1t restarchod the civil scrvic,
law, which GOV. Black had found to,
stiir for his purposes, and rendered I
n practical measure, and, finally, II
the domain of the state government
1t redeemed its pledge that the cana
frauds should be thoroughly aired b!
making an ample appropriation TO
that purpose.

sense and backbone who netuall.

| j
ON Saturday the initial base ball
contest was INDUCED In by the high
school nine, In which they defeated
the high school lads from the Nor
nal City In an interesting game by
Il to 10. The game was well played by
both teams, but the locals led from
the beginning Of the game although
the visitors never appeared to be
disheartened. Kinsman pitched the
first inning for the visitors, but In
the second exchanged places with
Snowden who pitched during the
remainder OF the game. Brown
pitched the entire nine innings for
the home team. The entire game
was remarkable for the friendly
spirit displayed by both teams and
and all of the decisions Of the UNI
pires were accepted without any pro-
test except In one case where the
crowd Mt first did not understand
what was being done. During their
stay in this city the Platteville boys
conducted themselves In an exceed
ingly gentlemanly way and the local
team hopes to play them here again
this season.

THE SAMOAN DISPUTE.
The Whole Matter Now Entirely within
the Line of Safety-win be Set
tied by Diplomacy

Washington, Feb. 21.-What is re-
garded as an inspired suggestion, COM
ing from Berlin, to the effect that diff
ferences between the powers party to
the treaty of Berlin, relative to Samoa,
could best be adjusted by mutual dis
claimers for the objectionable acts OF
their agents at Apia. is regarded here
as evidence that the whole matter is
now entirely within the line of safety.
Contrary to the accepted belief here
the German president of the munich
pal council, Raffel, has not yet left
.Apia, but information has reached
here that he will sail from there to-
day
While Raffel has many good qualities
and acted with humanity in giving
shelter to the partisans of Malietoa
when they were in great distress from
the attacks of the Mataafa men, he has
high temper and lacks tact. On our
intimation Germany ordered Raffel to
leave Apia, and come to Germany, re-
placing him by another German; but it
would be incorrect to state that our
government has demanded the with
drawal of the officials of German ma
tonailty. Nor has the German gov
ernment demanded the withdrawal of
Chief Justice Chambers
But objections to all parties have.
been pretty strongly noted IN the of
fetal correspondence. Onr governs

bitrary conduct of the German consul.

THE CoRTEs REAsSEMBLEs~
Senators Who Want the Blood OF Spanish,
Generals and Admirals to Flow
Tumultuous Scenes.


Madrid, Feb. 21.-The cortes reas--
scmbled yesterday. The galleries in
both chambers were thronged with an
expectant crowd. The senate was very
full, hardly a single senator being abb
sent.
Senior Montero Rios, president of the
senate, in opening the proceedings
pronounced an eulogy upon III. Faure,
and resolution of coincidence with
France was adopted unanimously.
The Biu to Cede the Philippines
Senor Sagasta, the premier. then.
proposed to refer the bill providing
for the cession of the Philippines 10
the United States to special commit
tee, but this the conservatives protest
ed against. declaring that the biz
ought to be conscientiousiy discussed.
and Senior Sagasta withdrew his pro-
posal.
Conduct of Spanish Generals During the
War.
Count d'Almenas then brought up
the question of the conduct of the gem
erals engaged in the war in Cuba, de-
claring that Gen. Primo Rivera, Gen.
Weyler, Gen. Blanco, Admiral Cervera
and Gen. Linares had proved failures.
This declaration ELECTED much APP
plause from the public galleries, in
consequence of which several OF the
spectators were expelled from the
chamber.
The shameful Capitulation OF Santiago.
Observing that he would deal with
the shameful capitulation of SANTA
CO." Count d'Almenas asked the house
whether he should proceed, and was
answered with cries of ives" and mo-
and general uproar ensued.
A repetition of the query provoking
a still greater tumult. Senior Sagasta
arose and defended the government
and its peace commissioners. The pre-
mier criticized Americas unjustitied
conduct, and said that everything
might be discussed concerning the war
because the cases of the generals were
still sub judicio.
Five Months OF Peace and Not single
General Shot.
Count d'Almenas resumed his at
tack upon the generals, and COM
planned that five months had elapsed
and not a single general had been
shot"
This gave rise to another tumult,
and Count d'Almenas was called to Or
der. Again he asked why the generals
who capitulated had not been execut-
ed 1T is quite true" he declared,
that the army is an army of lions led
by asses" Capt.-Gen. Blanco's admin
istration in Cuba was deplorable, he
said, but he was not responsible for
the surrender at Santiago.
Renewed Disorder.
determinations continued between
Count d'Almenas and Lieut. Gen. Cor
rea, the minister of war, and there was
renewed disorder. Then Gen. Primo
de Rivera arose and denounced Count
d'Almenas as contemplate calum-
inator."
Gen. Blanco followed, defending the
generals and accepting full RESPONSE
bility for events in Cuba during his
command in the island. Gen. Barges,
also denounced Count d'Almenas as
caluminator.
After promise on the part of Count
d'Almenas to produce proofs of his as
sertions to-day, the senate adjourned.
