from excursion boats and other steam

Stunning not more than five minutes.

of tho senate committee on foreign af-
fairs, stopped over in this city y few
hours while en- route from Washington
to his home at St. Paul.
1.-The recent disaster at Samoa is de-
plorable," he said, land, although it
may embarrass present negotiations
somewhat, am confident it will be set
tied amicably. The nations concerned
are too great in every sense of the word
to be led into war over any issue that
can arise over Samoa. It would be q
crime against civilization, and feel
assured all the resources of diplomacy
will be exhausted before any such course
will be adopted. '.
"Our own future and the welfare of
the world demands unity of action by
England, Germany and this country.
We know from the standard of Ger
many's civilization that there can be no
true cause of trouble between it and the
United States. I hope out Of the pres
emit friction will come an understanding
which will knit the two countries closer
together than ever before. Together
with England it would form trinity
that would be irresistible in spreading
a higher and better civilization through
out the world"
