THREATEN GENERAL REVOLT
TartarS in Southeastern Rus
STA Much Alarmed.
RELIEF MEASURES misunderstood
Agents of the Government Met With a
Hostile Reception and Were
Forced to Retire.

LONDON, April 10.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph says:
A serious situation which has recently
developed in the province of Kason,
Southeastern Russia, a territory in
habited principally by Tartars, is likely
to result in general uprising. Famine
and typhus, that have long been de-
vastating the Volga territory, created
such terrible havoc in Kason province
that the government was compelled to
send aid, food and Red Cross sanitary
agents.
Unfortunately rumors were circulated
with the assistance of fanatical priests
that the representatives of the govern
ment really wanted to convert the Mo-
hammedans. A general religious panic
ensued and the government agents
everywhere met with a hostile recep-
ton, being stoned and otherwise NAL
treated, so that it became impossible to
distribute the aid sent. The govern
ment is now endeavoring to reassure
the misguided Tartars.

Find a New Home.

For the purpose Of inducing immigra-
ton and of giving those desiring to a
chance to go into the northwest to look
up new homes, the Northern Pacific
railway has reduced rates to nearly all
points in its territory west of Aitkin
and Little Falls Minnesota. This re-
duction amounts to about one-h&lf the
normal frst-class rates on both one way
and round trip tickets Round trip
tickets have limit of 81 days and are
good for stopovers; one way tickets are
good for continuous passage only, ex-
cept that limited stopovers will be al
lowed at and west of Spokane on tickets
to certain north Pacific coast points.
This gives those who want to go west
a splendid opportunity to visit Mime

River Valley. and Manitoba; also the
Yellowstone, Gallatin, Bitter Root and
Clark Fork valleys of Montana, the

TOO MUCH TO EXPECT.
Significant Utterances of One of the Ger
man Peace Delegates.

LONDON, April 10.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of The Times says Prof. Won
Stengel, of the Munich university, who
will be one of the German delegates to
the disarmament conference at The
Hague next month, has published a
pamphlet opposing the advocates of per-
petual peace. He declares that endeav-
ors to secure it are futile and puerile,
and that no peace conference, even
though convoked by car and attended
by the most skilled diplomatists and
statesmen, will succeed in establishing
universal peace. On the contrary. he
contends that such conferences are
merely to avert present dangers, and
that so far as Germany is concerned she
will maintain her rightful position in
the politics of the world. In comment
ing upon Won Stengel's pamphlet the
Berliner Post says that it IS great
source of satisfaction that the German
delegates are free from vague notions of
universal decentralization.

SOLDIER LAID AWAY.
Impressive Funeral Ceremonies Over the
Remains of Chas. H. Blake.

The funeral services over the remains
of Charles Harve Blake, who died of
disease at San tiago, Cuba. Aug. II
while member of Co. G., Second u.
S. Infantry, were held at the Pres
byterian church Sunday afternoon at
two o'clock. The church was completely
filled by friends of the family and by
those who desired to pay respect to the
remains of the only Mankato boy who
died in the service of his country dur
ing the Spanish war.
The services were in charge of Will
kin Post and the w. r. c., and were
conducted by Rev. Mr. Crockett, of the
Christian church, assisted by Rev. Lee
w. Beattie. A Post service was also
performed. Beautiful flowers were
placed upon the casket, which was
partly enshrouded by a flag. A picture
of the deceased was exhibited upon an
easel behind the casket.
Among those present were John Gill
fillan, . father of the deceased, and Geo
Blake, foster father. The interment
took place at Minneopa cemetery. The
pail bearers were chosen from among
those who served in the recent war, and
the Mankato contingent of these was
present in uniform.
A sad feature of the occasion was the
receipt of a telegram announcing the
death at Chicago at one O'Clock in the
morning of Mrs. Blake. The latter had
gone to Chicago to receive the treat
ment for cancer. She was 90 years of
age, and was greatly beloved by all who
knew her. The remains arrived in the
city at noon Moday, and the funeral
occurred from the Christian church
Tuesday.
