THE THIRTEENTH MINNESOTA AND
THE LEGISLATURE


In communication made yesterday by
Gov. Lind to the legislature the governor
states that Col. Ames, commanding the
regiment, has cabled to him that the
Thirteenth unanimously demand that
they shall be returned home. The gov
ernor also states that the period Of their
enlistment is over, that they are entitled
by law to their discharge, and that their
pay has been reduced 20 per cent since the
close CT the war, and that they are SUI
fering much from sickness as well as
from the casualties of the service. He
states that applications made for
the discharge of individuals, in the
most urgent cases, whether adj
dressed to the war department or to the
except In few instances where they have
been presented through partisan channels.
He further states that four days ago
he communicated with the president ask
ing what the intentions Of the govern
ment were with regard to the mastering
out Of the Thirteenth Minnesota, and
that no reply has been made to his mes
sage
This informa ton having been by the
governor laid before the members Of the
legislature, in the senate the communi-
military affairs by motion of Senator Nc
Gill. A resolution introduced later by
Senator McGovern, requesting the presi-
dent to inform the members of the legis-
lature of the purpose of the government
in keeping the Thirteenth regiment in
the Philippines, went over under notice
Of debate. Senator Wilson stated that
he knew from letters received from mem
bers of the Thirteenth, and from mem
hers that have been returned, that the
Thirteenth was not as a rule anxious to
the service. And he questioned the
propriety of the passage of Senator Nc
Governs resolution. It is proper for US
to observe that this Senator Wilson is
much of the public time and that of the
senate in attempting to procure the re-
lease of the Younger brothers; and he
is the same gentleman who procured the
release and return Of his own son from
Manila early last fall, presumably
through partisan channels" OF course
his own son being safe at home, he has
no further interest in the Thirteenth.
In the house the communication of the
governor was laid upon the table on mo-
ton Of Mr.. Wheaton, who is the colored
representative of his district in Hennepin
the house.
The people of Minnesota outside Of the
legislature. perhaps, have some interest
in this regiment. 1t will be now for them
to say whether the treatment awarded to
the governors communication by the SEN
ate and by the house meets with their
approval. Perhaps, in view of the fact
that the president won't answer the gov
ernors communications, and the legsla-
ture cares nothing about the transaction.
it would be well to rest the entire matter
with a committee consisting of Mr.. VIII
son in the senate and Mr.. Wheaton in
the house. In the meantime the Thir
teenth Minnesota can do the best thew

RUSSIA ANSWERS BERESFORD
CASSINI ON THE
CHINESE SITUATION.
Says There is No Closed Door and
That Beresford Is Attempting to
Misinform the Public.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-The Times Herald
Washington correspondent says: Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, in
discussing remarks made by Lord
Charles Beresford relative to the es-
Enlistment of an open door in China,
Z says: "A great deal of INSTRUMENTATION
exists concerning the conditions in the
Tar east, and a determined and re-
grettable effort is being made to misin-
form the public in this matter. There
is no closed door in China Lord Beres-
ford does not say that at present there
exists a closed door, but he saws that
it is possible that in the future there
may be a closed door.
'Sor far as Russia is concerned, it is
to her interest to have free trade in
the far east. 1t is necessary, in view
of the construction of the -Sibe-
rian railroad, that there shall be an ex-
tension of Commercial relations, in or
der that the road can be operated on
a paying basis. 1t has been declared
that the construction of the road was
due to the strategic advantage which
Russia would gain by these operations,
but a road of 10000 verts in length can
not be built for strategic purposes only.
The policy of Russia in the extreme
Orient has always favored the intro
duction Of foreign commerce on an
equal footing. VladivOstOck has been
and is maintained as a free port.
'Talien Wan was placed under Rus
sian authority in order that my gov
eminent may have an open port in
winter. Not only is fallen Wan a free
port, but. in fact, all territory in China
within the Russian sphere of influence
is open to the commerce of the world.

of stamps.
Several theories have. been advanced
as to the cause of the big purchase of

lieved by the tobacco mems that the
Continental Tobacco company is pre-

THAWING OUT PIPES.
Wisconsin Professor Shows How
Electricity MAY Be Used.

Madison. Wis. Feb. 21.-Professor R.
w. Wood, instructor in physics in the
University of wisconsin, has original
ed the idea of thawing out frozen
water pipes with electricity, and made
two successful experiments.
In view of the fact that water pipes
in number of cities of the northwest
are frozen at this time. his discovery.
which is simple and inexpensive, is of
great Importance. He takes the cleo
trio current used for street lighting
purposes, attaches one wire to the
frozen pipe inside the cellar of one
house, and the other wire to a similar
pipe in the adjoining or any other
house, thus completing the circuit.
a current of about fifty volts is then
turned on, heating the pipes and melt
ing the ice within.
Professor Wood uses a transformer
to reduce the voltage, so that the cur
rent will not melt the pipes.
