The great difficulty that the employment
committee is contending with is that many
employers desire to give employment i'm
mediately to the volunteers, while the lat

three weeks. Rabbi Voorsanger has pre-

assistance from employers, and 5000 have
already been mailed The responses how

ADMIRAL SAMPSON
Is TO BE RELIEVED
At His Request Will Be Permitted to
Relinquish Command of the
So1adrOn

WASHINGTON, Sept 1-At the con-
clusion of the Dewey celebration at New
York Admiral Sampson will be relieved
of the command of the North Atlantic
squadron. This action is to be taken at
the request of the admiral, who has al
ready had much more than his portion
of sea service in his grade. After a short
leave of absence he will be assigned to
shore duty, probably in command of one
of the navy yards.
In considering the selection of Admiral
SIMPSONS successor as commander in
chief of the North Atlantic station the
Navy Department has practically mar
rowed the field down to two names 1t
has been laid down as the policy to be
followed that the commands OF fleets and
stations shall be reserved, wherever prac-
ticable, for the nine rear admirals OF the
first grade. 1t has been found that of
these officers who are not already on sea
service or about to retire shortly there
are three names-Remey, in command at
Portsmouth; Farquhar, commandant at
Norfolk. and Schley. president of the re-
firing board. Farquhar has been longest
on continuous shore duty and it is in
dicated that either he or Remey ia to
succeed Sampson.

Dakota Troops Will Not Be Taken

ST. PAUL, Sept. IA Pierre, S. D., spe-
cial to the Dispatch says:
The Populist, the official paper of Gov
ernor Lee in this city, to-day announces
that the Governor will refuse to call a
special session of the Legislature to pro-
vide means to bring the troops from San
francisco. 1t also states that he will re-
fuse to authorize the issue of emergency
warrants, which means that State war
rants will have to be registered within a
few days, but it is not likely that any of
them will be for more than a short time.
The Populist also announces that Public
Examiner Taylor has filed a report show
Ing crooked work in the management of
the penitentiary, the reform school and
the insane asylum under former manage
ment, but that the officers refuse to give
out a report, stating that it will be pub
lished in due time.

DEATH OF j. H. WATSON.
The Superintendent of Schools of Hen
nepin County,

John H. Watson, county superintcnd-
emf OF schools, died last Sunday at his
home in Brooklyn Center after an ill
ness lasting for several months. Death
was due to a complication OF diseases
the most aggravating OF which was a
heart trouble. He had pedagogic ex-
perience OF twenty years, and all OF it
was confined to Hennepin county He
was born in Illinois about forty-fve
years ago. His early years were spent
in that state, and at the age of twenty
three he came to Minnesota. He en-
tered the state normal school at St.
Cloud, from which he graduated twenty
years ago. He then Immediately came
to Brooklyn Center, and taught school
there a number of years. He was also
at various times engaged at the smaller
towns of the county, and was proni-
nently connected with the school work
at Wayzata, Robbinsdale and Osseo.
He was at Robbinsdale from 1890 to
1894, and did his last teaching at Osseo
few months later.
Mr.. Watson became connected with
the county SUPPLEMENTARY in 1895, as
assistant to Superintendent Wilcox.
He served in that capacity the following
four years, and was at the last election
chosen superintendent, and assumed the
office Jan. I. Owing to his i'll health he
has been unable to give it the attention
he desired, and the burden of the work
has fallen on Assistant Superintendent
Mckenzie. Mr.. Watson leaves wife
and four children, who have the heart
felt sympathy OF neighbors in their sad
affection.
The deceased was man of exception
al ability in his profession and was pop
ular with teachers and members of
school boards. His many friends in the
city and county deeply regret his de-
mise. He is the second efficient SUPER
intendent OF the county schools who has
died in Office. The other was the la
mented c. w. Smith, who died about
twelve years ago while riding in his
buggy in West St. Paul. The Irish
Standard tenders its coincidence to Mrs.
Watson and her fatherless children.

BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.
The Great Verbal Tilt Between Blaine
and COnklinP.

John ]. ingalls, is writing for the Satur-
day Evening Post of Philadelphia very
interesting series OF "reminiscences OF the
senate, and is doing it better than Ben:
Perley Poore ever did. Here is the de-
scription of clash between Conkling
and Blaine:
OF all the feuds of the century, the
most far-reaching in its tragic conse-
quences was the political duel between
Conkling and Blame, which began with
their appearance in congress and ended
only with their lives. They were rivals
and foes from the start. OF about the
same age, they both aspired to leader
ship, but in temperament and intellectual
habits they had nothing in common.
They were altogether the most striking
personalities of their generation. They
were enemies by instinct. Their host'l-
ity was automatic.
Their first alteration occurred April
30, 1866, in a debate on the charges
against Provost Marshal General Fry, in
which it was alleged that Mr.. Conkling,
while member of congress, had taken

ANNUAL RIVER EXCURSION.
Under the Auspices of Immaculate
Conception Church.


Next Wednesday, Aug. %, the men,
bers OF Immaculate Conception parish
will enjoy their annual excursion on the
Mississippi. Instead of taking the boat
at Minnehaha, as enormously announced
last week, they will take it at St. Paul
and go from here by chartered cars to
the Sanity City. The street cars will
be sidetracked on First avenue S. and
Second street, Minneapolis, at a. M,
and the last car will leave this city at o
o'clock sharp in order that all passen
gers may be on time for the boat 1t
will leave St. Paul at 1o:15 with its
precious load Of pleasure-seekers for
the st. Croix river, and return to St.
Paul at p. m. sharp, where the char
tered cars will be waiting to bring the
crowd to Minneapolis
Judging from the preparations that
have been in progress for several weeks
this coming excursion will surpass in
numbers any hitherto held this season.
The managers have been indefatigable
in their exertions to make it the grand
est affair ever given under the auspices
OF the parish. The ladies, particularly,
have been putting forth every effort for
its success, both socially and financially
and the gentlemen on the various COM
mlttees have been unremitting in their
attention to every detail connected with
the enterprise.
The committee on entertainment has
engaged the A. o. H. Cadet Band of
forty pieces, and an orchestra of seven
pieces to regale the excursionists with
soul-stirring airs. Geo. Sinclair and
Archie Johnson have been also secured
to play the mandolin, guitar and bag
pipes on the journey. The ladies will
serve refreshments on board the boat at
noon and in the evening, and everything
will be done to render the trip pleasant
and enjoyable to all. Tickets can be had
at the parochial residence, 246 Third
street NJ, or from the Misses Davy,
O'Donnell, Dunn, McCauley, Coskran
and J. E. Jennings, ]. c. O'Keefe and

ported on the work accomplished by
the Chicago gathering. Miss Cramsie,

vention had the honor OF acting on the
committee which awarded the prize for
the best essay on temperance. Mime
sofa was not represented in the contest.
The prize was awarded to Mr.. Foote, OF
Reading, Pa.
Miss Mary L. A. Smith, who repre-
sented the local society at Chicago, read
an interesting account of the conven-
ton. An extract from the address of
Archbishop Ireland to the national con-
vention was read. His utteranccs, said
Miss Smith, won special and favorable
comment from all who heard him. The
prize banner was this year awarded to

at one OF the big stores.
Walter c. Graham, late corporal in
Company M, 18th Minnesota, has ar
rived home from the Philippines.
Speaking of COL Ames he said: 81 was
amazed when 1 reached San Francisco
last week to hear charges OF cowardice
preferred against the colonel The
Thirteenth under Colonel Ames was
in more than thirty engagements,
and nobody there ever heard or saw any
of this alleged cowardice. On the con-
trary, the boys had the utmost conf
dence in the colonel, and the greatest
respect for him. Besides which, he was
popular with his men, and that means a
good deal" What he says is corrobor-
ated by Corporal Allen of Company F,
who reached home on Monday.
The schoo! directors of Minneapolis
are agreed that something has to be
done in reference to the writing system
or rather absence of system in the
public schools of the city. So far as
writing is concerned there has been no
particular system in vogue in the Min
neapoliS schools. It has been verv
much a go-as-you-please affair. The
vertical system had long since been
adopted, but it has not been followed.
The teachers have been allowed to in
struct according to any system they fam
cied, and the results have been some
what demoralizing. In changing rooms,
many pupils have gone from the Spen-
cerian system to the vertical. This has
resulted so unsatisfactory that the di-
rectors are now finally awakening to the
gravity OF the situation, and the prob
ability is that when school opens next
month the scholars will receive instruc-
ton in some particular system. The
system taught so successfully during the
teachers summer school of the State
University by Prof. c. C. Curtiss, of this
city, cannot be excelled. Why cannot
that system be introduced into the
schools and taught permanently by one
of the best penmen in the country?
