WANT MORE OF 1T
ELECTION PLAN LIKELY TO BE
EXTENDED IN MINNESOTA.
APPLIES ONLY TO CITIES
w. D. Washburn, Jr., Pushing the
Matter-SeveraI Changes Suggest
ed Along the Line of Distinct Party
votes-Opposition Hinted at-CoI-
ored Tickets Proposed.

| Minneapolis, Dec 23-W. d. Wash
burn, Jr., son of the ex-senator and a
member of the Hennepin legislative
delegation, will endeavor to have the
famous primary election law amended
so that it's essential principles will ap-
ply to primary elections throughout
the state as we'll as in the cities. Mr..
Washburn is deeply interested in the
experimental measure which brought
such sorrow to the souls of politicians
in Hennepin county last fall, and he
will support the principle of the law
to the last ditch. If any man assails
it he will find an able antagonist in
Representative Washburn.
Mr.. Washburn has familiarzed him.
self with the primary election laws
of other states, and he hopes to frame
law, with the assistance of his col
leagues, that will meet all the objec-
tons of those who oppose the present
law. Although he has not yet pre-
pared his measure, he will do SO early
in the session He thinks there are
three ways in which the law can be
altered to make it more popular
One is to hold the primary elections
the same as now but on different days
for each party, scheme which is
generally objected to because of the
tremendous expense involved. Another
way is to have the election for all
parties held on the same day, bit re-
curing voters to be at the polls at
certain hours for democratic voters
and other hours for republican voters.
The most satisfactory plan, however,
in Mr.. Washburn's opinion, would be
to have colored tickets, one color for
republicans and another for demo
Gratis; the voters to be subject to chal-
lenge as at the old time caucus, be-
fore the new primary law was enact
ed. The challenge feature, Mr.. Wash
burn thinks, would prevent men of
either party from playing double i'll
the matter of picking out candidates.
However, these are chiefly sugges-
lions, and better plan may be hit
upon when the subject comes up for
serious debate 81 do not think any
man will ask for the repeal of the
law" said Mr.. Washburn yesterday,
''but if he does, there will be several of
us on his back. The law has it's good
and bad points, but the fact must not
be lost sight of that a great princi-
pie is involved in it. That principle
is the peoples recognition of their
right to say who shall be nominated
for election. This right was given to
the people and cannot easily be taken
away. | expect to go into the matter
very thoroughly and, if possible, will
frame bill that will apply to the
whole state

st. Paul, Dec. ga suit involving
several millions Of dollars, the value
of telegraph lines along the route OF
the Great Northern railway from St.
Paul to the Pacific coast, was decided
late Yesterday by Judge Lochren, IN
! the United States district court, IN
favor of the defendant, the Western
Union Telegraph company. It's I'M
portance, however, was not alone IN
the amount of money involved, for IL
was the understanding that if the rail-
way company had won all the great
railway systems of the country would,
at the expiration of their contracts
with the Western Union Telegraph
company, have claimed the ownership
Of telegraph lines along their right OF
way.
In 1879 the Northwestern Telegraph
company built telegraph line of l,537
miles along the right of way OF the
plaintiff road and in 1882 sold out to
the Western Union, the consideration
being 81 100000, together with yearly
rental of $4,000 for term of 80
years Contracts had been entered
into between the railway company and
the telegraph company in 1879 and
again in 1882 by which, among other
things, the telegraph company was
to supply wires, poles, ETC., and the
railroad company was to furnish trans
portation and labor for the construc-
ton of the lines and to furnish oper-
ators.. The case turned upon the con-
struction of these contracts.
The plaintiff insisted the defendant
company had no owenrship in the tele-
graph lines, except interest as joint
owner, and asked that it be obliged to
accept the value thereof, and relin-
quish the lines to the Great Northern
company.
The suit has been pending since
1897 and the records submitted to the
court were voluminous, a brilliant
array of counsel being engaged on
either~side. Lochren's decision was
that the rights of both parties were
the same at the expiration of the con-
tracts as they were during their oper-
alton.

he was fugitive from the reform
school and that they were deputy
sheriffs from another county They
placed him in a closed carriage, threw
a shirt over his head and gagged
him. They then took him, he be-
lieves, to lonely cottage west of
South Omaha, where he was chained
to the floor. He was held prisoner
until put in a hack and returned to
his home. While at the cottage he
was guarded by two men and provid-

1t seems that the boy was over

wagon. Several persons informed
the officers that for two nights previ-
Gus they had seen two men lowering
around in the neighborhood, and that
they had dog cart with them.

NOTE is SIGNED.
Joint Expression Of Powers to be
Handed to China Soon.

Pekin, Dec 23.-The last obstacle
having been removed. the joint note
was signed yesterday by all the for
eign ministers, including the envoy
from the Netherlands who arrived only
recently. The note will be delivered
to Ii Hung Chang, Prince Ching and
the Chinese plenipotentiaries as soon
as the former shall have sufficiently
recovered from his ind1sposition.
Chinese who are close to Ii Hung
Chang still prefer to believe, despite
the signing Of the note, which they did
not believe would take place, that the
principal negotiations must be carried
on in either Europe or America. They
resent the British modification of the
note, for, they say, some power or
powers might not be satisfied until the
indemnity had been paid in full which
would mean the occupation Of Pekin
Tor an indefinite time, as it cannot be
expected that China can raise what
will be equired-possibly 1000, 100000
taels-at once. AS matter Of fact it
will take several years. Ii Hung
Changes condition is reported to be SO
much improved that he is able to be
out of bed for a short time.

ments which have been Investigating

PARIS BEATS CHICAGO.
Ferd Peck Says Exposition ExeeIed ir
Exhibits,


New York, Dec 23.-Ferdinand w.
Peck, commissioner-genera to the
Paris exposition was among the pas
sengers on the ST. Louis which arrive!
yesterday. Peck when asked abodc
the exposition and the United States
exhibit said: 'The Paris exposition
of 1900 was grand beyond expectation.
1t was an international exposition in
which a larger number of nations took
part than heretofore. and as an exposi-
ton OF exhibits, both in quantity and
quality, it was without precedent in
the history of similar events. In com
pairing it with that of 1898 my natural
prejudice would be of course on the
side of the Chicago exposition, which,
in it's architecture grouped as the
White City has not beer nor will be
equalled, but as an exposition of exhi-
bits it must be admitted to be inferior
to the great event just closed.

to KenosEa, Wis. in 1860. In 1862 he
was elected to the Wisconsin state
senate and again in 1864. In 1868 he
was a candidate before the republican
state convention for governor, but

at leisure.
His wife died in 1894, and he is sur

The Pope'S Successor.

Rome, Dec. 31.-It is asserted that
the Pope, after the recent ceremony of
opening the holy door at st. Peters
Cathedral, addressed his intimate en-
tourage and said:
II thank Divine Providence for
granting me the grace of being able to
celebrate this great function, and |
wish for my successor granduer and a
long reign, to the greater glory of God.
My successor will be young, as com
pared with my own age, and will have
time to see many glories of the papacy
and the church"
Later, Leo clearly designated Car
dinal Cirolamo Maria Gotti, project of
the congregation of indulgences and
sacred relics, as his successor. Car
dinal Gotti, the famous Genoese monk,
Is a man of great piety and modesty.
He is now about Ga years of age, and
has always lived the life of an ascetic,
and, despite the dignity of prince of
the church, he always sleeps in a cell
and on hard mattress.

Of the low lived thugs and pimps of

system of blackmail was ever more

have established within the Japanese

visiting the stores of Japanese mer-
chants and securing money by threats
Instances are not wanting where
wives have been taken from
their husbands to enter the employ oil
these miserable wretches. Refusal to
comply with the demands of these
thugs is met with threats upon life.
The situation is such that the Jap
anese merchants fear to take the init
alive, though they are ready to give in
formation when assured of positive and
vigorous action by local authorities.
The hands of the Japanese Consul are
practically tied. AS representative of
a foreign nation he cannot lead the
movement, nor would he be considered
justified in making complaint to the
local authorities. 1t is assured, how
ever, that the japanese authorities will
not raise objections to deporting these
men who are disgrace to their ma
tionality and source Of danger to
every respectable Japanese in the coun-
try.
II Is within the power of the local
authorities to put an end to this infa-

it is not unlikely that Minister Cooper

II is likely. however, that the heated

particularly when the good people of
the town learn of the the conservative
manner in which San Francisco has
handled Honolulu shipping and pas

tunately swung into line with the al

MR.. RAYS REPORT.

Through the courtesy of Senator Gull

Daniel \. Rays report on the condi-
ton of labor In the Islands. The re-
port is not a long one and Is devoid of
comment. except as regards Hawaii as
a field for white labor. 1t gives, how
ever a detail of the laborers on all the
plantations. the sugar production of
each plantation for three years, as well
as the forms of contract used in deal
ing with all classes of laborers. Let
ters from Manager Walters of Lihue,
w. J. Lowrie. II. y. Baldwin, W. A.
Kinney are given as well as Prof. Max
wells article on the labor conditions.
Not the least interesting feature is In
spector Pcterson's reports on the Gal
ician troubles at Oahu plantation. II
will be remembered that the local au-
thorities would not allow the publica-
ton of these reports. having repeated
ly refused them to the Bulletin. After
reading the reports as secured by Mr..
Ray. it is still mystery why the local
authorities exercised such "A strict CEN
sOrship.
Mr. Ray speaks in no uncertain tone
as to the feasibility of employing white
American labor on Hawaii's sugar es-
tates. He pictures the conditions as
much more favorable for white men.
than climatic and industrial condi-
tons in many sections of the United
States notably Southern California. In

Il consider drainage for carrying

This is the expressed opinion of q
high official, who hoped the Bulletin
would advocate early action toward
getting such drainage. The saving OF
streets from damage by freshets is one
great object in view. Another is to
have the work done before extensive
street Improvement is begun under the
coming era of municipal government
1t would be poor policy to make good
streets only to have them torn up soon
afterward for the purpose of putting in
a drainage system.
