The constitutional amendment sub
mitted to the people last Tuesday. in
relation to the loaning of state school
funds, and which was really meri-
torious, measure. was badly defeated.
Not because it did not get majority
of the votes cast upon it, but because
it did not get majority of all the
votes cast at the election. The st.
Paul Dispatch in commenting upon its
defeat says:
Hardly one third of the voters in
this city who marked their ballots for
officials marked the amendment either
favorably or adversely. The vote
runs about the same that amendments
hithertofore have run. and. not having
received majority of all votes cast
at the election, it fails of enactment.
We predicted this, and. unless some
provision is made other than that by
which not voting at all is regarded as
a vote against, no amendments will
be possible except in the case of some
question coming up that stirs popu-
lar interest to its depths

While President Mckinley re-elec-
ton was generally expected, there
was question in the mind of the
public generally, as to whether the
Republicans would carry the next
house. In many respects the Bryanite
leaders made more determined fight
for the house than was made for
Bryan himself. While close observers
felt that the reelection Of President
Mckinley by such a landslide as came,
still none were supremely confident in
the matter But it Is in the great
gain in the house that the full signifi-
canoe of the Republican victory is re-
vealed. 1t registers the emphatic pro-
test of the people against Mr.. Bryan q
free coinage notions and the other
dangerous yagaries which he enter
tanned. It goes further than that. 1t
is an overwhelming rebnke to those
who question the glories which are
won under our flag. It is an approval
of the policy which President Nc
Kiniey has pursued upon the questions
growing ont Of the war with Spain,
and shows that the people are deter
mined that he should have an uninter-
rupted chance to carry out these poll
cies through his second term. The
great strengthening the people gave
him in congress, really amounts to q
vote Of confidence on their part.

SETTLEMENT OF THE CHINESE
TROUBLE.

The powers are at work in arranging
for settlement of the Chinese trouble,
but as to what has been accomplished is
hard to arrive at, as nothing is given
out by either one of the governments
concerned, on the theory that report
OF differences, no matter how trifing,
would give encouragement to the
Chinese. and cause them to redouble
their efforts to cause dissension among
the powers But there are some points
arrived at and determined by the min
listers, and of this feature. the Chicago
Inter Ocean says:
1t is clear, however, that the pro-
positions as to the punishment of those
responsible for the -outrages at Peking
have been agreed upon by the minis
tiers, and that this agreement has
created CONSERVATION in Chinese court
circles. The evidence gathered by
the ministers at Peking shows that
Prince Tuan, father of the heir to the
throne, was most active in promoting
the Boxer atrocities Prince Chung,
appointed official head of the Boxer
militia by imperial decree of June 81,
planned the campaign against the
foreigners. These two, with Yu Lu,
the governor general of the province
lof Chilli Yu-Hsien, governor of the
province of Shansi; General Tung.
commander of the irregular troops or
ruffians from Kansu, and General
Yung In. commander n-chief of the
provincial arms at Picking, are among
those selected by the ministers for
/, punishment. There is no doubt as to
their guilt
1T is reported that Lii Hung Chang
declares that it is beyond the power
of the Chinese commissioners or en-
voys to promise the punishment of
Vicero!s and leading generals. There
fore, he gives out the information that
the Chinese court, in stead of return
ing to Picking, viii flee still farther in
to the interior This may be taken as
the Chinese method of protest 1t is
not The habit of the authorities at
Picking to view with horror the pun
ishmeIt of any one, no matter how
high lis station. but it may be in
ferred from the excitement caused by
the demand for the punishment of
Prince Tuan and others that the enor-
NIFTY q their offense against civiiiza-
ton j being brought home to the
Chinese authorities.
One object of the march to Picking,
has BEN accomplished The main OBJ
ject vi II have been accomplished when
order has been restored, and the
Chinee authorities accept the terms
dictatsd by the powers, and punish
those who are responsible for the
atrocities that have been committed.

Just previous to election it was
stated that Europe was favorable to
Bryan and against Mckinley, on ac-
count of the great inroads this country
had made in trade there, and the
further advance it would make with
another four years of Mckinley. I'm
der Bryan they foresaw the ruin that
would come and the advantages that
would accrue to them. However. that
may be, the leading nations of Europe
are expressing great deal of salts
faction over the result. and comment
upon the growing friendliness that has
grown up between the United States
and the leading nations OF Europe.
Since the war with Spain the tone of
Europe toward the United States has

somewhat over-feshy stoker in the
furnace room of a steamship.
Meanwhile the heads of all the
women neighbors began to appear at
their front windows. Mr.. Jobson saw
their heads between the curtains out
OF the slants of his eyes, and the sight
made him boil within. When he was
just about to stoop over to lift one of
the loads the merry, roguish-eyed
little widow down the street tripped
by, nodding sweetly to Mr. Jobson as
she passed. Mr.. Jobson felt, that she
was lauhging at him and this didn't
increase his happiness. Then one Of
Mr. Jobson's neighbors, who was
taxing his annual leave at home,
strolied over and leaned luxuriously
against MIR. Jobson's iron fence.

work. What's the matter with that
shirt waist You wore on one only and
final occasion awhile agof''
Mr.. Jobson growled some inaudible
reply, and his neighbor went back
across the street. smiling back every
few steps.
After Mr.. Jobson had slowed about
q quarter of ton of coal in the cellar
he found that he had slight nose
bleed. to which he was subject. he
pressed q grimy handkerchief to his
nose and clamped up the front steps.

tone, Il trust you perceive what your

DEOPERE RETURNS.
His Lady Love Gives Him Away to the
Officers.

&C. Brown, who works nights for
the Omaha road at Lake Crystal, was
in the city Thursday last and desired
warrant for the arrest of Reni
Deopere. who he claims had obtained
money from him fraudulently. He
stated that last March 9th he had
borrowed Sa5 of Deopre, giving his
note for it. running six months. On
June 10Th he paid Deopre $50 on the
note, and subsequently to that date
Deopre borrowed $25 at Marston, Lar
son & Davis bank at Lake Crystal,
giving a note for the amount, and de-
posting Mr.. Brown note as security
he not having endorsed in it the $50
paym ent.
Mr.. Brown stated that shortly after
this last transaction Deopre disappear
ed and did not pay the note at the
bank, which then collected the $25
note given to Deopre by Brown and
which the bank held as security for
Deopre's note Brown was out $50 by
the deal. Last week a young lady
living in Cambria, whom Deopre was
. to IN AIRY, received a letter from him,
saying that he would return Friday
and that they would be married. The
, young lady showed this letter to Carl
/, Peterson, of Lake Crystal. who has
been doing detective work, and he in
formed Mr.. Brown. who came to this
city after warrant. Mr.. Hughes
did not issue the warrant, but promised
to do SO after Deopre should be taken
into custody. Peterson accompanied
Mr. Brown to Mankato.
1t is reported that Deopre returned
to CORTLAND, where he was to meet
the young lady and be married. and
that Detective Peterson took him into
custody. Deopre is said to have pos
sessed a couple of hundred dollars of
his own and to have recently fallen
heir to 500 more. 1t is expected that
he will settle the matter up Mr..

to come up will be the reduction of the

SENATOR HANNA.


A man who has grown wonderfully
wi tn the people during the campaign
just closed. Is Senator Marcus Hanna.
The mud batteries Of the opposition.
which were opened numerically on
him, did not produce the effect upon
him that was expected. Mr.. Hanna
took a most audacious step. 1t was
one of seeming great risk, but it prov
ed most successful one During the
past year in congress he developed in
to a fairly good debater, in fact there
were few men in the senate that could
rival him. He is always interesting
because he never speaks unless he has
something to say. Pettigrew, Tillman
and one or two others found him a bad
man to wake up. This produced de-
sire on the part of the people to hear
him, and they called for him to speak.
Early in the campaign he yielded TO
the pressure, and took the stump. He
proved most forceful speaker, and he
also robbed the opposition of de-
fusion they had been palming off on
the people. They found pleasant,
refined looking gentleman and a
forceful speaker The movements of
MIR. Hanna this year completely dis
PEELED the goblin of Hannaism. which
the opposition have heretofore worked
SO industrially. Mr.. Hanna is success
full leader, a man of great nerve, who
does not scare in the least, who stands
his own ground no matter what hap
pens, and therefore is thoroughly hated
by his less successful opponents.
