Announcement,

Announcement.
To THE REPUBLICANS OF MORRISON
COUNTY:
A large number of influential Re-
publicans of Morrison county have
rendered me their support for the
nomination for judge of probate OF
Morrison county this year, and in
justice to myself and my friends de-
sire to make plain statement of my
position in the matter. If my NOM
ination could result lin straight
contest between myself and the
Democratic nominee, 1 would will
ingly engage in the campaign; but
am certain that such would not be
the case. I am convinced that
my nomination would not
leave me a clear field in my
own party, but that it would re-
suit in an Independent Republican
candidate, that would so divide the
Republican vote that the regular
nominee would have very slight
prospect of success. In view ofthese
facts, as 7 understand them, I wish
to announce that I am not q .candi-
date for the nomination for Judge Of
probate before the coming county
convention. I hope for g. united
party that can work harmoniously
for party success, believe that it is
for those and my own interests that
1 decline the many offers Of assist
ance proffered me at this time. ,sa4

Attorney E. +. Adams announces
that he ia not a candidate for the
Republican nomination for ju 1ge OF
probate. He states, and with ap-
parent good reason, that he believes
his nomination would be followed by
the announcement of an Independent
Republican for the Office, thus making
the success Of any Republican very
doubtful. The Republican friends
of Mr.. Adams regret that conditions
induce him to decline their assist
ance at this time.

COMMONS susTA1Ns MINISTRY.
Majority of 213 in Favor of Govern
ment's War. Policy.


The house of commons last night rejected
Lord Edmund Fitzma urice's amendment to
the address in reply to the speech from the
throne by 1852 against the amendment to
139 in its favor.
When the division bell rang the Irish
members rose in body and left the house
without voting. Several liberals abstained.
Some others voted with the government, as
did also Sir Edward Clark member for
Plymouth. Mr.. Asquith voted with Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman for the amend
ment.- The majority against the amend
ment was surprisingly large.
There was strong effort among the rank
and file of the liberals in the house of COM
mons to secure unanimous consent of the
party to the withdrawal of Lord Edmund
Fitzmaurice,s amendment, but it failed,
owing to the refusal of a small minority
mostly members of the late liberal govern
ment, to join in the movement.
When the debate was resumed yesterday
Mr.. Asquith, who was in the Rosebery cabi-
net, caused a sensation by the tenor of his
remarks. Lord Rosebery was present in
the gallery to hear him. Mr.. Asuuith main
tanned that the war was neither intended
nor desired by the government, which nat
urally explained the country's unprepared-
ness. Mr.. AsQuith added that the war
could have been avoided by President Kru-
ger accepting the proposals made in Sep
TENDER, which, according to the sneaker
were perfectly compatible with the main
tenance of the independence of the Trans
vaal and a proper ilstallment of lone-de-
layed justice to the British population Of
the Transvaal.
II he thought the British negotiations
were mere cloak to attack the independ-
ence OF. or annex the Transvaal, then, in
spite Of the invasion Of British territory

BRYAN SAID TO FAVOR JUNE @.
Time for Meeting of the Democratic
National Convention,

The Chicago Chronicle of today says:
According to advices received at the demo-
cratic national headquarters there is a
strong disposition among some of the lead
ers of the party, including William Jennings
Bryan, TO settle upon June as the date
for the democratic national convention.
1t now appears that Col. Bryan is taking
considerable interest in the Pacific slope
situation The Information is that the dem
ocratic state convention of Oregon will be
held early in June, and that the democrats
of that state are being influenced by Ore
CONS supposed prospective transpacifc
trade on an imperialistic basis
1t is pointed out by Col. Bryan's friends,
who say they reflect his opinions that the
Oregon democrats, who are disposed to op-
pose imperialism, would be strengthened
materially In their campaign before the
Oregon state convention were they able to
party organization as a reason why the
Oregon democracy should oppose Imperial
ism.
For these and other reasons Col BRYAN
and his intimate friends are quoted as being
favorable to the holding of the democratic
national convention June 6, a date which
1T is said, would anticipate any action that
might be taken by the Oregon democracy
Chairman johnson of the national ex-
ecutive committee said: II think the ar
gument in favor of holding the DEM
ocratic national convention June 6 has con-
siderable weight, although there appears
to be considerable sentiment in favor Of
holding it still earlier"

Count Almenas Attacks Men Who Led
Spain to DishouOr.


Spain to DishOnOr.
A dispatch from Madrid last night says:
Count Almenas, who insists that the re-
sponsibility shall be brought home to those
to whom Spain's defeats in the Spanish
American war were due, created scene in
the senate today by asking if it were true
that conspiracy existed among the gen.
erals to prevent light being thrown upon
all the circumstances of the war.
Lieutenant General Azcarraga, minister
of war, replied that the attitude alleged to
have been adopted by the generals did not
exist. He protested against 1.-The campaign
against the prestige of the army
Count Almenas retorted: II am not sat-
isfied with these declarations" t,
The president Of the senate, Captain Cen
eral Martinez de Campos, called him to or
der, saying he could not allow it to be said
in parliament that the Spanish generals
were unworthy of confidence.
Count Almenas replied: There were I'M
worthy generals, as there was an infa-
nous government, who led Spain to dis
honor"
A great uproar ensued, amid which the
president called upon Count Almenas to
Withdraw his statement. The count re-
fused, and the excitement was Increased
The senate ultimately decided to go into
secret session and to consider the case.
After long discussion, however, Count AL
menas refused to give any EXPLANATION of
vote Of censure.
Count Almenas ieplied; ut does not
matter to me. yxmindlsis made up. I
small persist IN the same Attitude"
