1o-inch barbettes and will have regulation
rapid-fring batteries.
The work of mounting guns at Fort
Wilson will not be finished for nearly
a year, and when completed 1t will be

Special Dispatch to the Post-Inteligencer.
SAN FRANCISCO, jan 25.-For SIX
hours today steam hoists and two squads
of stevedores were busy transferring the
remains of dead soldiers from the lower
holds OF the big transport City Of Feking
to the decks of the steamer Caroline as the
vessels lay side by side. mile north of
Black point.
Before o'clock in the afternoon the
hearse ship was relieved of the cargo she
brought all the way across the Pacific from
the three military cemeteries near Manila.
She then weighed anchor and steamed
around to the transport pier after de'ay
at anchor of more than thirty hours.
This delay was caused largely by the
negligence Of some officials in the Philip
pines, who had sent the shipload of dead
soldiers home with no record OF who they
were, except the painted names on the
end Of the casket boxes that often did not
agree with the incomplete certificates Of
death inside securely pasted ON by the army
surgeon in Manila.
The dead are from sixteen volunteer and
nine regular commands. Fourteen differ
ent state regiments are represented in the
list. Nebraska leads with a total of eigh-
teen.
Washington has twelve and Idaho ten.
Following is the complete list Of the dead
members:

NOT A CANDIDATE.
ward.

For many months back, the few Re-
publicans through the Second district
who for personal reasons would like to
see Congressman McCleary defeated,
have relied upon State Senator Geo.
w. Somerville, of Sleepy Eye, being a
candidate for the place next year, and
have held vain hope that he might be
able to win the nomination. At one
time they were sure that their hopes of
Mr.. Somerville going into the field
would be realized, but of late there
have been many rumors to the effect
that he had concluded not to do so.
These rumors are confirmed by dis
patch from Redwood Falls to the twin
city papers to the effect that Senator
Somerville has written a letter to Julius
A. Schmahl, chairman of the Republi-
can county committee of Redwood
county, stating positively that he will
not be candidate for the Republican
nomination for representative in con-
gress from this district He gives as
his reason that the voters of the Nine
teenth legislative district have elected
him as senator for term of four years,
and he does not believe that it would
be good for him to seek another office
before he has served out his term as
senator.

Irst of May at the earliest.

The long curiosity as to what .Sena
tor Beveridge really thinks about the
Philippines is at last satisfied in a way
that will admit of no misunderstood
ing Yesterday he introduced in the
senate the following resolution con
corning them and asked that it lie or
the table until next Tuesday, when he
will speak upon it. The resolution
says:
That the Philippine islands are
territory belonging to the United
States; that it is the intention of
the United States to retain them
as such, and to establish and main
tain such governmental control
through the archipelago as the
situation may demand.
The resolution is certainly explicit
and the 'antis'' cannot complain that
it does not say what it means.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-01-12

In this Mr.. Somerville exercises the
wisdom and good judgment with which
he has always been credited. and is to
be complimented for the stand he has
taken, and when he has served out the
term which he now holds there is no
doubt but that if the way is open, his
constituents will advance him to higher
and wider fields of action. and all the
more willingly because of his adherence
to duties for which they had first Sc
lected him.

is LIND TIRED.

The Minneapolis Times of Friday
morning sprung the political sensation
of the year by the announcement that
Governor Lind will not be a candidate
for reelection, but at the end of his
present term will return to the practice
of law in New Ulm. The Times put
the statement with such a degree of
emphasis as to lead one to the conclu-
SIGN that it speaks by the card, although
all effort to secure confirmation or de-
NAL from the governor has proved I'M
availing
1t is said that Mr.. Lind will take the
Jackson day banquet at Minneapolis
next week in which to formally pro-
claim his position, and while there is a
variety of opinions extant as to how far
and how emphatic the governor will go
in declaring his determination to retire
from Office at the close of his present
term, there seems to be no question in
the minds of those in close touch with
the feelings of the executive that he is
thoroughly tired of his job and longs
for the quiet and peace to be secured
only through the Independent position
of a private citizen.
The history of Minnesota fails to
make record of the career of a chief
executive who has had the trials and
troubles to contend with that have
befallen Mr.. Lind. Not in the exercise
of functions pertaining to state admin

istration matters, for these can be easily
and readily transacted. But the things
that have caused him no end of trouble,
woory and annoyance emanate through
the horde of hungry offce-seekers who
have camped on his trail by day and
haunted his dreams by night. They
have been as relentless for official pelf
as they have been persistent for the dis.
missal of tried, true and faithful SER
wants whom Mr.. Lind. if left alone in
the exercise of his own Judgment, would
have retained for the good name and
efficiency of his administration.
If, therefore, the governor has deter
mined to refuse to serve the fusionists
longer, or to stand as a target for their
disappointed greed for office, little is
the wonder and less the reason for his
desire to get out from under. They
have logged his footsteps with a per.
sistent tenacity equaled only by the
onward march or our soldier boys in
hunting down the rebellious Filipinos.
But the mission of the two forces is so
painfully at variance in results as to
cause one to blush in even abiding to,
or in making the comparison.
When all is said and done, Governor
Lind will prove himself diplomat in
getting out of the way of the 1900 cam
campaign. However we may differ on
the mooted question as to whether this
is the closing year of the nineteenth
century or the birth of the twentieth
century, there is little ground for con-
tention as to the bright prospects for
sweeping Republican victory in Min
nesota this year of grace. The present
governor knows that Republican vic
tory is in the air. He knows that the
party he is training with has neither a
policy nor platform to stand on. He
undoubtedly recognizes that this, of all
years, is going to prove disastrous to
the ants, and having taken his stand
with the un-American Atkinsons and
the fiatist organs, he sees his only hope

chest and decorating the lung capacity.
