proposition submitted by the sultan for
settlement of American missi nary
claims and to peremptorily demand
payment. The Authorities do not con-
ceal their purpose to obtain satisfac-

gratifed that the sultan has at last is
sued an trade permitting reconstruction
of the American mission at Harpoot and
extension Of Roberts college at Con-
stantinople, but this is not sufficient.
In the interest Of future protection for

mployment Of Priso soners on Pub
lie Works Cause Of Least
Friction.

& WASHINGTON, April 26. The indus
trial commission has sent to congress its
report on prison labor. In summing up
its conclusions, the commission says
that all prisoners should be engaged in
productive labor, and that the state
should have absolute control of their
care. Their employment with the in
tention of producing revenues, the re-.
port says, tends to the greatest compete
ton with free labor and detracts from
the punitive reformatory and disciplin-
ary features Of the prisons. Employ
ment of prisoners on public works has
the least tendency to competition with
free labor. In order to harmonic the
antagonistic interests Of the different
states, the industrial operations Of penal
and like institutions in each should
be under the supervision of a CEN
tral officer. Adoption of laws embrac-
ing the principles mentioned has been
retarded by various conditions in many
of the states. In the adoption Of uni
form legislation, the report says, is the
only remedy for existing abuses. The
commission submits general provisions
of law mainly from the New York stat
ute and recommends that such part
shall be embodied in the laws of the
different states as is found possible. The
Introduction of interstate commerce in
all goods, etc, the product Of convict
labor, supplemented by state Legislation,
would be the nearest to a complete rem
edy for evils of convict labor competi-
tion, but in the absence Of such laws,
the most practicable step would be an
act making such goods upon their arri-
val in any state subject to it's laws.
Commissioners Smythe and Harris dis
sent from that portion Of the report rec
ommending an Introduction of prison
made goods and Mr.. Smythe also dis
sents from a recommendation fixing
eight hours for days work for prison.

are unable to escape to the north and
that great developments are expected.

The firing has been desultory and the
casualties very slight. The British are
edging up towards the Basutoland bor-
der.
Persistent rnmors are in circulation
that Commandant Olivier, with 1900
men, is preparing to attack General
Hart's rear. .ssss
There is no sign Of the advance of
General Rumble from Dewetsdorp.
LONDON, April 26.-The indecisive ac-
ton and slow progress Of Generals Hart
and Brabant are relatively unimportant
when compared with the progress Of
General French. tt is now evident
that Lord Roberts wishes not only to
defeat the Beers, but to pen them up, as
at Paardeberg. To this end 40, 900 Brit
ish troops are concentrating in the
southeastern portion Of the Orange
Free State and are operating according
to carefully devised plans, in which the
delay may be as much due to strategy
as to necessity. The success of this i'm
portant movement almost entirely de-
pends on General French. If he can
sweep down from the north with the
rapidity Of execution which he dis
played at Kimberly, and Paardeberg, he
will effect the same swift, sudden trans
formation that followed the cavalry
evolutions two months ago. According
to last accounts he was pushing on Sue
cessfully. Every day the Beers remain
at Wepener improves General French's
chance Of success. %5gs. +
Has Taken Long Chances.
To put girdle around the $4,000
Beers estimated to be in the southeast
ern part Of the Orange Free State, Lord
Roberts has evidently taken large
chances. The British critics differ re-
garding the result, some declaring it is
impossible for the Beers to escape from
the net, while others reserve their opin-
ion until more definite news Of General
French's progress is received. There is
general impression that the main ad-
vance upon Pretoria will be taken up
without any RECOMMENDATION at Bloem-
fontein, as with more than half the
British army stretched in echelon across
the Orange Free State, such q change
in directions would indefinitely delay
the accomplishment Of Lord Roberts
main objective.

DULUTH, April 26.-The city has
taken the offensive in its fight against
the old telephone company with suit
to compel it to remove its poles and
wires from the streets, its franchise
having: expired and no new one having
been taken out. Some time ago the
company brought suit in the United
States court to restrain the city from
interfering with its business, as the
city has threatened to remove the wires
and poles unless the company got out.
In order to hurry matters through, the
city has begun a suit involving the same
matters in the state court, and will
push it along as rapidly as may be.

private interest whatever. 1t is needless
to add that no one has as yet been heard
to express surprise at the attitude occu-
pied in the same general direction by the
young man, Mr. Griggs. Indeed. his ac-
ton in appearing for McCardy in the eff
forts Of that worthy to hold on to his job.
even at the expense of disfranchising a
number of his fellow citizens, is regarded
as the most natural and becoming thing
in the world in his case.
The G o b has no thought of max ng
any comparison between Mr.. Taylor AMI
Mr.. Griggs. as there is none which might
be made without serious disadvantage to
Mr.. Griggs. It merely recalls the episode
for the benefit Of Mr. Markham, who is
a deserving public official. and Is known
to entertain a true understanding of the
decencies and amenities Of public station.
He cannot allow his first assistant to con-
tinue TO appear in his present position as
counsel for Mr.. McCardy in the prevailing
contest without detriment to his own Of
fetal reputation, and without giving at
least his implied sanction to a line of con-
duct which is not only in violation of law,
but inconsistent with all correct under

sCHIFFMANN.s VICTORY.

1t IS the unexpected which has hap
more unexpected than 1t is surprising
1t denotes a good deal It means that
William r. Merriam is not only not dead,
but that his political health is excellent
1t means more 1t tells adventurous as
well as doci1e politicians who set them
selves up against the great and good Mark
Hanna. even when they act under the
auspices of Cushman K Davis, that they
take their lives in their hands, if they
do not commit complete political suicide.
This and more is what the election OF
Fred Schiffmann as district delegate to
the Republican national convention
means 1t has not been any mere iri-
descent dream from which has sprung
the conviction which has prevailed here,
abouts for long time past. that Marcus
AureIius is in the saddle in Minnesota
politics.
The G | 0 b cougratulates Mr. Schiff
man. He Is a good. plucky political fight
er. He deserves success His entire
career in local politics shows that much
at least. He never lays down. His fight
in the city convention Of his party two
years ago in behalf of his friend Dona-
hover showed him to be at once de-
voted and courageous political fighter.
Let the holier- -than-thou elements Of
local Repubiicanism take warning. They
have had very decisive notices served or
them of late, that their dominion in ST
Paul and Ramsey county is coming to d
close. The record they made for them
selves in the recent local contest, in the
Seventh ward where they chose to make
of young Schiffmann an object of especial
dislike. will not be soon forgotten. The
unhappy combination in the later city
convention of the party which set aside
both Schiffmann and K:efer for the choice
of the goodygoody set has borne its
fruit The election of Schifmann az
Cambridge is the fitting sequel to all these
happenings among the members Of the
party of moral ideas.
Senator Davis and his friends will now
have time for reflection on the touching
demonstration that has thus been offered
of the efficacy of practical politics in pro,
ducing results.

The st. Paul city elections took place
recently and the Democrats carried the
day. This is quite blow for the Re,
publicans. in fact it is only forerunner
of what they will get at the general cleo
tions next fall. Did not the Republican
press in that city state that the result
OF this election would have a strong
bearing on the fall elections? If the Re,
publicans could not carry the city this
spring their chances for carrying it in
the fall viii be very remote They now
know where they're at. ard what to ex-
pect when the time comes.
State Democrats Of course are pleased
at the general result. but they will be
more particularly pleased at the com

gang of disreputable politicians who have
for years contributed to the success of
