ties tried to close the debate. This led
to socialist protests, during which the
speakers attacked the king and the
government generally, leading to much
uproar. Eventually the president of
the chamber declared the sitting sus-
pended and the socialists and leftists
rose in body and rushed toward the
rightists, dourishing their fists.
Though actual fighting was avoided,
the uproar was deafening. Abusive
epithets were shouted and the chair
man ordered the galleries cleared.
Thereupon the spectators appealed to
the socialists, who told them to re-
main. This caused some of the spec
tators to resist the ushers and soldiers
had to be summoned to clear the gall
leries. A series of exciting scuff1es
ensued. In the meanwhile the depu-
ties on the floor continued to vituper-
ate, but the floor was finally cleared
and the sitting suspended for an hour,
during which Bethune, rightist, and
Journes, socialist, exchanged chal-
lenges to fight duel

Lee line of Memphis and was one of
the most magnificent passenger steam
ers in the Mississippi trade. She piled
between Memphis and Cairo. Most of
the crew lived at Memphis. From
local river men it was ascertained the

about Is officers and a deck crew
numbering about 80. With the pas
sengers there were at least so people
on board when the disaster occurred.

structe, the German ambassador here,
Won II )llebin, to present a note en-
bodyinN Germany's views. It
was argued that the naval
commando had no right
to act, save IN executing with the three
consuls, acting unanimously and not
through a majority. The note init
mated quite plainly that Germany
would hold the other governments re-
sponsible if serious trouble resulted
from the action of the naval author
tiles at Samoa. The strained condi-
tons caused by this note we're some
what allayed by the answer of the
state department, which was friendly
and reassuring, although it made plain
that the American naval commander
would act in emergency, even though
the consuls were not unanimous in re-
questing action. Just such an emer-
gency has now occurred. THERE'S noap-
prehension here that an actual clash
will occur with the German forces in
Samoa. This is due mainly to the Off
cial understanding that Germany has

London Comment
London, March 3O.-The morning
papers comment on the serious news
from Samoa, the presumption being
that the cruiser Tauranga was stopped
OF fhn Hill ic1ondc hu 4hn cd iroI hn-
cause she was required for service ct
Samoa. The Standard says: ''The re-
bellious chiefs must be punished and
something more than a nominal penal
ty will be required for the blood of the
British and American sailors. The
German authorities at Apia have in
Cured a heavy responsibility. We
cannot believe that Berlin will uphold
their action as it is not worth Ger
many's while to quarrel with England
and America over Samoa"
The, Daily Chronicle says: "There
is only one alternative, Germany must
remove her consul (Herr Rose) or go
out Of the protectorate.
The Morning Post says: "The
single bright spot in this dark bust
ness is that the Americans and British
fought splendidly together"
The Daily Mail says: ''All three
powers should recall their consuls and
as the friendship of Germany is the
pivot of our foreign policy, her wishes
should be respected in the final settle
ment."
Berlin Views.
Berlin, March 30.-The Neuste
Nachrichten, which disapprOves Of the
attitude of the lingo papers in accus-
ing the government of a lack of vigor
regarding Samoan affairs, says: Ger
many's position in Europe is not so
secure that any strength should be
wasted in an attempt to treat trans
oceanic problems in accordance with
the dictates of a lively political
fancy"

Berlin, March 30.-The Hambur-

question of installing DR.. Self, who
succeeds Dr.. Rafael as president of the
municipality of Apia, in the absence
of a generally recognized Samoan
government, says: '*The three powers
have arranged that the German, Brit

FIGHTING OLEO.

To THE EDITOR: While distribut-
ing the badges of the National
Dairy Union / have met with almost
unanimous favor among our patrons,
and have no doubt that all the
creameries will raise enough money
to successfully push the ten cent
tax movement. Still l have been
asked so often that have concluded
to try and answer them briefly
through this paper.
l. Why is money needed?
It is not to bride congress or any
thing of the kind. The money is
needed to print literature and pay
postage, as one or two letters must
be sent to each farmer to get them
interested so that they will petition
their representatives. How much
will the postage amount to on
100000 letters, besides envelopes,
paper, and printing? Who will pay
these expenses, if not those who
are to get the benefit. The officers
receive no salary.
2. Some inquire about the relia,
bility of the officers who lead the
movement.
Ex-Gov. Hoard of Wisconsin is
president. For 30 years as chief
editor of Hoard's Dairyman, he has
had much experience in working

way they take badges. Chas. Y.
Knight, the secretary, is editor of
of the Chicago Dairy Produce, and
is popular with all the butter MAX
ers. He has by his tact and push
led the Illinois dairymen to victory
in their fight against oleo, notwith-
standing the stubborn resistance
offered by the packing houses. Hon.
w. K. Boardman, late dairy COM
missioner of Iowa, is vice president.
He is one of the best known cream
cry men. in the country and presi-
dent of the National and Iowa But
termaker' s Associations. The treas
urer is Hon. H. B. Gurler, pioneer
and up-to-date dairyman of the fam
Gus Elgin district.
The DeLaval Separator Co. and
National League of Commission Mer-
chants have each contributed$1,OO 900,
the Worcester Salt Co. $500 to the
fund. Do these concerns seem to
lack faith in our officers?
B. "You can t get any ten cent
tax on yellow oleomargarine.
The oleo makers will use their
money to oppose it, and money
wins, some say. Let us see about
that. Thirty one States have passed
anti colored laws and the oleo gang
never saved their money at such
times. Especially was this the
case in Illinois, but the dairvmen

POLITICS AND NEWS.
Gossip and Opinions Gathered IN
the Capital City.

GOSSIP dnO UpInIOnS Gathered In
the Capital City.
Even Labor Commissioner Nc
Hale, whose chief duties consist in
finding nothing'but ill in Republi-
can government, has discovered
that we are enjoying prosperous
times and that labor is getting bet
ter pay than for many years past.
The labor bureau has had men out
through the State investigating this
question and it must be aggravating
indeed for men who depend for
Office upon Gov. Lind's reelection
to be forced by the fact to make
votes for the Republican party.
But Mr.. McHale is not the only
authority that we are having better
times under Republican rule. All
the authorities in this country
orth considering fully agree. And
what is more important, the work
ingman whose wages areI gradually
rising Knows it'without any further
authority on the subject.
It really appears as if'the St. Paul
Globe, itself, which has been heap
ing abuse upon the government,
has begun not only to admit that
McKinley's policy in dealing the
Philippines is the correct one. In
recent editorial the Globe in
speaking of the proposal made in
Filipinos said:
'The offer made by the Philip
pine commissioner the natives now
in arms embodies an entirely just
and reasonable proposal Unless
the proposal is accepted there can
be no hesitation on the part of any
of our people in declaring that our
duty to ourselves is to bring all the
resources of the country, if neces-
sary, to bear and put an end to the
prevailing warfare. -
In later editorial on the peace
conference at The Hague, the Globe
discussing the influence which the
various powers of the world exer-
cises in that important gathering,
as result Of our present policy of
expansion, says in part:
The representatives of the United
States bear relationship toward
the conference which in it's import
ance may be said to be incommen-
surable with our relative position
towards the great international
problems of the time Until our ad-
vent in the Philippines, and by
sheer force of our adherence to the
Monroe doctrine, we have been
excluded from all sub
stantial concerns in European dis
putes. The territorial claims of all
other conferees in the continents
of Asia, Africa and America render
their interest in the outcome of the
gathering infinitely larger than any
which we can possess. We are
pure and simple a commercial ma
ton. We cone in touch only with
other nations through questions Of
dispute which have their origin in
matters of commerce. We as a ma
ton are committed to the policy of
a peace as the underlying principle
of the social and national compact.
That a race so situated should find
it's influence SO far reaching Oh such
a momentous occasion is at once an
and, for the purpose
of the conference, most fortunate
circumstance
If the main stay of the anti ex-
pansionists are tumbling over them
selves like this to endorse our Re
publican party, where Gov. Lind
and his party are to get votes from
at the next election becomes a seri-
Gus question.

AN IMPORTANT INCIDENT,
War Cloud Has Drifted From the Three
Cousin Nations

London, April 26.-The Earl Of Sell
bourne, under secretary of state for the
colonies, addressing a conservat tive mass
meeting this evening at St. Adams, Here
ford, said he thought that if any justin
cation of Lord Salisbury's policy was
required it was afforded by the present
relations between the United States and
Germany.
'At a trying time said his lordship,
the government preserved its self-control
and waited for GOODNESS, justice and com
mon sense to reassert themselves. Now
the dark, miserable cloud which so long
hung over the Anglo-Saxon people has
drifted off. 1t is only a few days since
British and American officers and men
fell on the same field of conquest They
were not engaged in fratricidal strife, but
were fighting shoulder to shoulder. and
small though the incident was, it will be
of Importance in the history of the world
'All must regard continued Lord Sell
bourne, ''the lamentable cause of the
incident, but the only three nations con-
cerned were what he might term the
three cousin nations of the world
He remarked that he had no doubt that
America and Germany in this matter
would prove as amenable as Great Brit
ain to the dictates of common sense.

his assets and liabilities. The state
ment placed the former at $3.50 600 and
the latter at $4,000. Shortly after the
goods We're received. Israel went to
the wall with liabilities amounting TO
$lO2. 44114 and assets way below that
figure. Mcdonald instituted suit in the
district court. securing judgment for
the amount of his claim. An appeal
to the higher court was taken, with the
result that the supreme court, in a per-
curiam atfirms the judgment. saying it
saw no reason why the Judgment of the
lower court should be disturbed.
In an opinion by Chief Justice Brant-
