there began one of the most remark
able and successful wars the world
hiss ever seen.
Through all the trying period for
month or two before war began, one
man was the presidents constant sd-
wiser and confidans. Called to the
white house to consult with the presi-
dent and cabinet often twice q day, this
man, who had studied books and maps
for g part of his life, had roughed it on
the western plains for another part,
and for the rest had been q great man
of afairs-this man, Theodore Rooss-
Welt, in his capacity as assistant score
tary OF the navy, rendered. service to
the country ttat will never be forget
ten.
To him moro than to any other man
the United States Will always ascribe
the credit for nHking our navy che
most efficient fighting machine for its
size in the world. He organised the
auxiliary 6eets, the transports service,
and the supply stations. Il was Theo-
dore Roosevels who gave Deway the
word to take Manila.
McKinley's grip on events has never
once faltered. He has stood to his
guns, and has met and hurled back all
the attacks from within bis country,
the hateful blows of his political enc
mics. as the armies of which he was
and is the chief hurled back the forces
of the enemy without. His admins
trstion has been sssailed st every
point. His opponents have tried to
fl nd fan unprotected angle, a vulnerab Q
tower, q weak embsnkmeIt, breach
in the all, but they have failed, every
time. and today the administration 10
ss free from the faint of scandal az asy
other in the history of the country.
Senator Foraker rightly said that not
since Lincoln had any president had to
meet such grave problems as has this
Scotch Irishman who sits In the white
house. And Roosevels spoke the
truth in his chsracteristically COM
plese way when he said. mckinley
had to meet them, and he met thsm."
That is enough-he met them;
no half h earted endeavor to shift tho
responsibility, no cheap appeal
for popular ST mpatby. no turning away
from the problems pressing upon him
he met them squarely and wrestled
with them until he achieved the right
solution.
Mckinley represents the careful,
powerful, thoughtful man of affairs.

Pioneer Business Man OF the Northwest
Expires Very Suddenly.
ST. PAUL, Oct. %. --P Patrick II. Kelly,
one Of the leading business men in the
state for almost quarter Of a century,
has joined the great silent majority.
Mr. Kelly died at $3.50 p. m. at his
home, 489 Holly avenue, and there was
no sign Of approaching death up to the
last minute. His two daughters were
in the house at the time Of his death.
He was sitting in his easy chair resting
and just before his death he asked for
something to eat. This was being pre-.
pared when he gasped and fell back
dead. ss ..
For several days Mr.. Kelly had felt a
little indisposed, though not enough to
keep him from his work. It was said
by his relatives that he looked better
during the day than he had for q long
time. and the death came as a great
shock. -. ,-a, l., ss+..z. r
Physicians were called for but they
came after Mr., Kelly was dead. Nj
. Mr.. Kelly was born in the county OF
Mayo. Ireland, Feb. 2, 1881. He re.
ceived his education in his native land.
At the age Of 16 years he came to
America with his parents, locating first
near Montreal In 1857 he with a
younger brother located in St. Paul
and since that time has been fully
identified with the growth of the
Northwest. = ! - - :

CAUSING MUCH TROUBLE.

Guerrilla Attacks by Beers Keep the Brit
Z - ish Generals Busy.
CAPE Town, Oct. 26.-Guerrilla at
tacks by the Beers are still giving great
trouble. General French encountered
continuous opposition in his march
from Carolina to Bethel, his casualties
numbering 36. .#&~
After the arrival of Lord Methuen at
Zeerust there was a reconnaissance in
force northward, which resulted on
Sunday in the discovery of large num-
bers of Beers, who were only dislodged
after artillery and rifle fire lasting four
hours. The British had 4 killed and 10
wounded.
The Beers take shelter in farm houses
which are crowded with women and
children. I'd Lord Roberts is distributing
fresh circular to the effect that Beers
voluntarily surrendering, who have
never taken the oath of neutrality, will
not be exiled but will be permitted to
return to their farms at the conclusion
of hostilities.''

Expected They Will Vote to End the
Anthracite Strike.
HAzLEroN, Pa. Oct. 81. The meet
ing of the national executive board Of
the United Mine Workers and the Of
ficials Of three anthracite districts that
have been on strike for over five weeks,
began during the day. It is now
thought that the official notice ending
the strike will be issued at this meet
ing. It is the intention Of President
Mitchell to make thorough canvass Of
the situation. The action taken by the
superin of the several coal
companies at Scranton in adding ~
per cent to the car or ton in order to
make up the 10 per cent net increase in
wages is not thoroughly understood at
strike headquarters here and none Of
the officials will venture an opinion un-
til they satisfy, themselves as to its
meaning. Although the strikers pre-
fer this method Of making up the 10
per cent by adding to the Car rather
than by figuring it out entirely in the
powder reduction yet they think the
21a per cent is not quite enough to
make up the 10 per cent. --M

CRISIS rs THREATENED.

An Extraordinary Scarcity of Money in
Sweden.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-A dispatch to The
Daily Mail from Stockholm says:
The extraordinary scarcity Of money
which has been growing more acute
for month is so seriously affecting
commercial circles as to threaten a
crisis. The balance Of foreign trade
continues against Sweden and the re-
peated contraction of gold loans abroad
fails to palliate the situation. Indus
tries are daily launched but adequate
capital is not available and the news
papers are filed with appeals from
manufacturers in desperate straits for
money. Rural people attracted by the
industrial activity are focking to the
towns, and, consequently, the demand
for houses is so great that rents have
advanced 20 to 80 per cent. The civil
servants have already been granted 20
per cent increase in pay to meet the
hard times and it is expected employers
generally will have to follow suit.

ALV0RD STILL MISSING.

whereabouts of New York's Absconding
Teller Unknown.
New YORK, Oct. 25.-The where
abouts Of Cornelius Lansing Alvord,
who, it has been discovered, looted the
First National bank to the extent of
$500, 900, are unknown, and his hand.
some home at Mount Vernon is being
closely watched by detectives. w. G.
Snow, an assistant cashier Of the bank,
said that he had no authority to tell
any Of the details Of the matter, but
continued: ~
'The money that was stolen came
out of the profits accruing to the bank
and not out Of the capital. If could
explain the methods of the defaulter to
you, you would see that they were very
simple. The stealing has been going
on for five or six years. The bank ex-
aminers should have discovered it and
so should we, but it was one little
thing we all overlooked -

word and the general situation, said
that the bank had cleared up the whole
matter of the defalcation to its own
satisfaction. This was interpreted to
mean that just how and when ,Alvord
had taken the moneys had been dis
covered by the officials. Mr.. Hine
said he did not care to talk about the

WASHINGTON, Oct. s25.-T. p. Kane,

regarding the defalcatiou in the First
National bank of New York:
During the progress Of the examin-

note and exchange teller, Alvord, was
short in his cash to an amount which
has since been found to be $500, 1000. y
"His thefts have been going on for q
long time. The plan Of conceaing
them and making the cash on hand
agree with the amount for which he
was accountable, as shown by the
books, was to take out Of the morning
mail, of which he was in charge, a suf-
ficient number Of cash items to cover
the aggregate amount Of his defalcation
and add them to the exchanges for
the clearing house received during the
preceding day. The last examination
of the books showed the total amount
correct, but $500, 900 Of the items had
been taken from the morning receipts
and listed with the previous days ex-
changes, the amount Of morning ad.
ditions being reduced that much 50
that the sum aggregated the correct
amount. The shortage seems to have
been about 100000 two years ago and
has been increased gradually since that
time, the teller concealing the same in
the morning additions. 'T~.

Make Preliminary Proposals
For Settlement.
Siege Of Legations a Serious Of

Pay Indemnity.
Also Suggest That Old Treat.
les Be Cancelled and New
Ones Arranged.

NEW YORK, Oct Pa dispatch to
The Herald from Peking says:
A preliminary convention between
China and the combined powers has
been proposed by Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang. 1t is as follows:
"Artiole l-Laying siege to the lega'
tions of foreign ministers is high Of
Tense against one Of the important
principles of international law. No
country can possibly tolerate such
thing. China acknowledges her great
fault in this respect, and promises that
it will never, occur again.
ARTICLE 2-Chiua admits her liabil-
ity to pay an Indemnity for the various
losses sustained on this occasion, and
the powers will each appoint officials to
examine and present. all claims for a
final consultation and settlement. &c.
"Article 3-As to future trade and
general international relations, each
power should designate how these mat
ters are to be dealt with, whether old
treaties should continue or new con-
ventions should be made, slightly add.
ing to the old treaties or cancelling the
old treaties and negotiating new ones.
Any of
These Plans May Be Adopted
and when China has approved them
further special regulations can be made
in each case as required.
"Article 4-This convention will be
made by China with the combined
powers to cover the general principles
which apply alike to all. This settled,
the foreign ministers will remove the
seals they caused to be placed in vari.
Gus parts Of the tsung Ii yamen, and
then the yamen ministers may go to
the yamen and attend to business as
usual. And further, each power should
arrange its own special affairs with
China so that separate treaties may be
settled in due order. When the various
items Of indemnity are all arranged
properly or an understanding has been
reached about them, the powers will
successively withdraw their troops.
ARTICLE 5-The troops sent to China
by the powers are for the protection of
the ministers and no other purpose, so
when the negotiations begin for treat

clare an armistice."
