We cannot tell how many con-
ficting opinions Mr.. Bryan enter
tains until he shall have made the
rounds of the various states and
felt the public pulse in all. In
California, where expansion goes,
MI. Bryan said the insurrection in
Luzon must be suppressed. In
Kentucky, where the antis are
more vociferous, he comes out for
putting the army on peace foot
ing, which means abandonment of
the Philippine campaign. Per-
haps, by the time he reaches Ohio,
he will have advanced to the point
where he will be in favor of a de-
claration of war against the Unit
ed States. s.-St. Paul Dispatch.

The Mayor of st. Paul is banish-

meeting with some opposition
which is but natural from those
who occupy them. The citizens
of st. Paul and visitors of the
SANITY city will be under ever
lasting obligations to Mayor Kei-

nuisances. People cannot pass
along the street there of late with
out running into some pestiferous
business of most every character
common throughout the. city, and
the worst feature Of them is the

The citizens of Albert Lea have
acknowledged their weakness and
inability to enforce the laws of
their village by submitting to the
liquor element and permit them to
run the town. Blind pig proprie-
tors have been able to defeat the
laws of the state besides defying
them. An attempt to convict op-
orators of blind pigs has ended in
defeat through the skillful ma
nipulations of their aids so that
the people that are disguised and
those with a weak backbone have
petitioned the council to grant the
saloons license. If such VIOLA
tions of the law was to be permit
ted in all cases Of crime our laws
would be of little use.

Morris Sun: Gov. Lind's news
paper friends are discounting
some of his shrewd political ma
neuvers, for in their strained ef-
forts to make it appear that the
advancement of public interests is
the only purpose sought to be at
tanned, they only make it doubly
manifest that the governors poll
tical interests are not being en-
tirely overlooked. Less of la
bored and concerted effort, on the
part of the fusion press bureau es-
pecially, to make it seem as if
Lind is actuated solely by disin-
terested reasons, would create less
suspicion as to the unsel6shness
of his motives.

Monday night while James Geddes,
one of Contractor Elzy's foremen, was
in T. W. Keavy's saloon, had his
watch stolen.
He was invited to participate in a
treat with some other company when
a person stepped beside him placing
his hand on his shoulder and in q
few minutes afterwards stepped out
the back door. After the person was
gone Geddes attention was called
that his watch was missing. He then
looked for the suspected person but
could not find him, but later he was
found by the police who took him to
the lookup and searched MIN but
failed to find the watch on his person.
He was kept until morning but Mr..
Geddes not swearing cut a warrant
he could not be held and was released
and ordered out Of town. He gave
the name Of Thomas Ryan. The
watch was valued at about so. r#

The question of representation
in the next convention is receiving
consideration by the press through
out the state and some hold that it
should be the same as last time,
not wishing to have less number
of delegates, particularly by those
whose districts that gave Lind a
majority when they had heretofore
turned in q republican majority.
It would seem the better way to
apportion the representation upon
the vote for governor at the last
election and let those counties that
bolted the ticket stand the conse-
quences: They don't deserve the
same representation a. those that
stood Loyalty by the ticket. For
instance Hennepin county forced
her man on the people and then
went back on him. If she is to

again this campaign it virtually
places the nominating power in
her hands. Give the other coun-
Ties a show once in every two years

the United States ambassador to Great

representative of the Associated Press
in regard to the recent "war arbitra-
ton" speech delivered by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the Canadian premier.
He said: There will no war. It is
safe to say that no amount of politics
Dr. politicians in either country could
occasion wal in this connection"
The ambassador, continuing said that
the Canadian parliament was on the
eve of dissolution and the leaders Of
both parties had to speak. MIR. Choate
seemed TO think that the latter circum-
explained Sir Wi1frid Laurier's
position, and he was inclined to attach
small importance to the premier's re-
marks. Mr.. Choate added that the ne
gotiations were progressing "but," he
explained, they are very slow, and /
can say nothing at present as to their
status

COLUM BIAS FINE SAILING
She Defeats the Defender by Four
Minutes in a 1hirty Vile Race

GreenpOint, L.. l., August 2S.-The
first run of the New York Yacht Club
today from New london out into the
sound as far aus Watch Hill and back to
Gardeners bay was one of the most
successful in the clubs history. Not
only was the day an ideal one with a
great whole-sail breeze from the west,
which held through from start to finish,
but the club watched with pride the
magnificent run of the new boat Co.
lumbia, which fairly distanced every
other yacht, with the exception of the
| Defender, and she, too, was defeated
by 4 minutes and l second in a thirty
mile race.
The old cup defender Vigilant was
beaten by the two flyers nearly an
hour, but much of this was no doubt
due to the fortunate run of the Column
bia and the Defender along the Fishers
island shore, while the rest of the fleet
kept over on the other side of the sound.
Over fifty yachts crossed the line at New
London n nearly all finished in Gar
liners bay, although some of them did
not get in until toward night.
The run gave the yachts a good
broad reach to Race Rock of three and
a half miles, a fine run before the wind
to Watch Hill of eight n a half miles
and a grand peat of eighteen and a
quarter miles in a constantly increasing
breeze to the finish, an ideal course all
around.
By far the greatest ven of the day
was the magnificent seven miles run
| of the Columbia from Fishers island to
| Great Gull island, during which she av-
f! eraged close to a 13-knOt gait. It was
/! on this leg, made very close to the wind,
| that the Columbia pulled out so far on
the Defender, for while the boats were
but a short eighth of a mile apart un-
der Fishers island, there was nearly a
mile and a half Of water between them
| at Great Gull island.
| Both yachts had all the wind they
| could stagger under, and the Columbia
hauled down her jib topsail during a
ten minutes interval, when it blew the
hardest. She set it up again, however,
when the Defender began to pick up and
hold her advantage to the line.
Neither boat was held back a particle.
1t was a good square test of the merits
| of the old and the new boat and the
| latter may be put down as a good four
minutes faster under the present con-
ditions and with her steel mast in, a
| couple of minute more.
Once during the day, just after the
start, the Columbia seemed inactive and
lifeless and the Defender almost by
her; but just before reaching Race
Rock the new boat seemed to find her
| self again and from there she was new
err in danger, while her great run on the
last leg will never be forgotten by
| those who witnessed it.

4 BATTLE
With The Xaqui Indians Expected
SOOn-Tyvo yhOusand Warriors
Massed-Signs Of Further Uprising

Chicago, August S.-A special TO The
Record from Guaymas, Mexico, says:
General Torres has almost surrounded
Bicam, a Yaqui stronghold, where near
ly 1000 savages are massed. on the
arrival of the artillery and the machine
guns the Mexican general will close
in on the Indians and precipitate the
biggest battle ever fought between the
government and the Yaquis.
The reports from General Torres re-
garding the killing of Remley and Mil
Ter say their bodies were found hang
ing from a. tree with the hands and
feet cut off.
The uprising reaches down the Yaqui
river to the sea and it is not expected
to extend further north h the Sa-
huaripa district.
The government now has nearly 5000
men in the field. Two hundred volun-
teers will cave Guaymas for Medano
tonight On the team Jalisco. A fight
is expected on entering h Yaqui river
with a large band of savages that last
week attacked and burned three sloops.
Business in Guaymas and other points
in southern Sonora is practically at a
standstill in consequence Of the rebel
lion.
Austin, Aexas, August S.-A dispatch
from Chihuahua, Mexico, says there is
much uneasiness felt in military cir
cles there over the attitude of the Mayo
tribe of Indians in the state of Sonora
toward the Mexican authorities in the
present uprising of the Yaqui braves.
The fighting force of the Mayo tribe
is much less than that of the Yaquis.
The Mayos have for many years beer
at peace with the government, but the
younger braves are now aroused by the
warfare that is being waged west OF
| them and an omen revolt is threatened
