TOO MUCH MONROE DOCTRINE.
Lindsay, of kentucky, Thinks 1t Is Dead
Issue at This Time.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Lind
say, Of Kentucky, favors the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, and is not worried
about the Monroe doctrine, which he
appears to think has outliyed it's
usefulness.
He said: "And now about the Mon
roe doctrine they say that this treaty
will forever nulify and kill it. do not
think so. But what if it did? l think
we have too much of the Monroe doe
trine at any rate. l do not think we
need Monroe doctrine any more-if
crisis arises on this side Of globe
I have enough faith in the United
States to think we can master it. Let
us drop this Monroe doctrine talk and
not keep it before the world so much.
1t minimizes it's power and does our
case no good"

Dr.. MaImstrOm Begins Mandamus
Proceedings Against the State
Board of Medical Examiners
DEMANDS THE CERTIFICATE.

Or That the State omcia1s Show Cause
Why the Certificate Should Not Be Issued
Case Will be Heard at Elkhorn on Feb.
26th.-Doctor Malmstrom says He Has
Studied Medicine in Sweden and at the
Independent Medical college,
DR.. Paul Ma1mstrom, through his
attorney, Norman L. Baker, has filed
an alternate writ of mandamus against
the Wisconsin State Medical Board,
consisting of ]. r. Currens, Philip A.
Forsbeck, Charles E. Quigg, Henry B.
Hitz, Samuel Bell, Harvey B. Dale and
H. M. Ludwig, demanding that the
board either issue to the doctor a certi-
fcate to practice medicine in Wiscon-
sin, or show cause why such certificate
should not be issued, at a special term
of the circuit court to be held at Elk
horn on Feb. 10Th
The papers in the case were filed late
yesterday evening and will be served
personally on the various members of
the State Board this morning. Togeth-
er with the petition for an alternate
filed copy of his petition to the State
Board and a lengthy document in
which the points in the case were set
out.
In his petition the doctor states that
he is native of Sweden and that he
was educated for the medical profession
at the University of Sweden, at Kund
Nv 1n I11 40
at this university he came to the United
States and going to Chicago he further
pursued his study of medicine at the
Independent Medical college, school
incorporated and recognized by the
state laws of Illinois. He graduated
from this school in 1897 and came at
once to this city, where he entered the
practice of medicine previous to the
first ofJu1y of that year, when the new
law in regard to the registration of
physicians went into effect.
Since that time the petition states
Dr. Malmstrom has been a praCticing
physician in Kenosha and has been
very successful. 1t also states that on
August 9, 1899, the doctor made the
for medical certificate and the board
refused to grant his request. Last
month the doctor appeared before the
board in Milwaukee and stated his case
but the doctors were obdurate and re-
fused to issue the certificate.
The fling of the petition brings the
case into the courts, and now both the
state board and the doctor have been
named as defendants in the fight. The
criminal action brought against Ma1m-
strom has been allowed to drag, and it
has not as yet got beyond the justice
court, The case will come up for
hearing on Saturday, at which time it
is thought that the doctor will be
bound over to the circuit court, or the
case will be dismissed. One thing is
certain the fight will be fight to a
finish, and while the District Attorney
and the state board are little slow in
pushing their case, it is evident that
they are preparing for a long fight.

Reform in the British Army.

London, Feb. 14.-When the debate
on the army supplementary estimates
was resumed in the commons yester-
day Wyndham intimated that an at
tempt would be made to democratize
the army, which he said ought not to
be closed to officers who did not enjoy
an income of from f15O to $500 year.
Wyndham also said it was a scandal
and a danger to the empire that young
men could not enter the cavalry unless
their fathers were able to give them
$500 a year.

Government Ownership and the Referen-
dunn Are Dominating Features.
Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE committee
on resolutions Of the antitrust confer
ence, after a stormy session, last night
finally agreed upon a report which will

fictitious securities.

ownership of all public utilities and
natural monopolis, for government
money, for che referendum and direct
legislation, and for the withdrawal of
all protective tariffs from all articles
controlled by trust.

at Central Music hall developed early
into a free silver and anti-imperial
demonstration. Resolutions were
adopted denouncing the currency bills
now before congress.

strongest speakers among the dele
gates, including John P. Altgeld, T. 8.

TONlGHT'S PLAY.
One Of the Best Of Russian
MeIOdramaS.

1t can probably be said with safety
that the American people as whole
are little acquainted with the literature
of Russia. The theater-going public
find it faithfully reflected, however, in
modern stage productions. One OF the
best of the Russian plays, according to
all accounts, is ''For Her Sake, tale
of love and intrigue and suffering in
the Siberian convict mines. 1t is pre-
tentious stage production. and it will be
offered here at the Opera House this
evening. The company is large one
and the play is equipped, scenically, it
is said, with great fidelity to the re-
quirements of facts and with small re-
gard for expense. It is credited with a
leavening of original comedy.
