THE YACHT RACE.

The Columbia was certainly the gem
of the ocean last Saturday, and it is to
be hoped that she will repeat her good
work tomorrow and on Thursday, an d
so keep the cup which for fifty years
has been with u.s. on this, side of the
ocean. The race Saturday was pretty
one and neither yacht had any decided
advantage over the other. In fact
there was not time during the entire
race when a shift of the wind, or a
mistake in Judgment by the comman-
der of either yacht but would have put
the chance Of victory entirely out of
it's reach. Bat there was, no such mis-
take. ais both boats were handled
finely. But while. it was close race,
there is much satisfaction in the fact
that the Columbia crossed the lina
first, and did not depend upon her vic
tory in the time allowance which the
rules .gavsA her over the Shamroc K
by reason Of the greater sail power OF
the latter. The, Columbia was thirty
nine seconds ahead Of Shamrock II. in
crossing the line, and this with che
| forty-three seconds time allowance,
gave Columbia one minute'and twenty
two seconds to the good. But the race
is not yet won and Saturdays race
gives Indication that the question OF
whether the cup stays or goes will not
be fully settled until the last race has
been sailed. for sure it is that the Bri
tish designer has come the nearest tt
reaching American speed that has ye
been accomplished on that side of TIT
ocean and we can only hope that Col
umbia will do as we'll in the next TIVE
races as it did Saturday.

YARNS AS TO ROOSEVELT.

The Chicago. Chronicles Washington
correspondent says that in conference
with Senator Pritchard of North
Carolina, President Roosevelt declared
that he would continue President Nc
Kinley's policy toward the south to
the fullest extent possible, and that he
would not be party to any scheme tc
curtail political rights and privileges
now enjoyed.by that section, and then
the reason given is that Roosevelt
wants the friendship of the southern
Republicans, because he wants to be
in position to control the delegates
of those states in the next national
convention, and that he will so dis tri
butte the patronage of those states as
to deprive Senator Hanna of all power
there. From another source it il
given out that Senator Hanna has ex.
pressed the fullest confidence in Presi.
dent Roosevelt and believed he would
do everything in his power for the
best interests of the country, and that
the senator would freely relinquish tc
the president all hold he has upon
southern influences to control dele,
gates in the next national convention.
If the stories of the correspondents are
to be believed, President Roosevelt
has not made move since he became
president, that he did not have 1904 in
mind, when the probabilities are it
has been one of the thoughts farthest
from his mind. The people will con-
tinue to believe until there comes most
convincing evidence to the contrary,
that the president is sincere in his
declaration of his endeavor to carry
out the policy of the Mckinley admin
istration, and that he wishes, as any
man would, to make his own ad-
ministration success. And this could
not be done if he were giving as much
thought to shaping things for the con-
troll of the national convention three
years hence as he is represented by the
correspondents to be doing. We do
not doubt but that he told Senator.
Pritchard just what he is reported as
saying, but we believe that when do
ing it, the thoughts controlling his
mind were on far higher objects than
the controlling of delegates in 1904
for he we'll knows that with
his administration a success, matters
in 1904 will easily take care of
themselves without much particular
effort ON his part.

Some of the papers through the
state who would like to see Gov. Van
SAINT laid away with one term are Jug
CLING with prominent names as his
possible or probable successor. 1t is
not at all likely that the Republicans
of Minnesota will again commit the
folly of refusing a good executive the
courtesy of second term. While the
present governor has made some
appointments not altogether in har-
mony with the hopes and wishes of a
large number of his party associates,
it can be truly said that his official
acts otherwise have been all that could
be asked for and fully up to the stand
ard of his able predecessors. Now
that the task of filling the Offices is
completed, the governor may be con-
fdently looked to to so administer the
affairs of state as to strengthen him
self all along the line, and make his
second nomination as easy and as
spontaneous as was his first. Only
some grave and wholly unlocked for
mistake can rob Gov. Van SAINT of a
second term.

A we'll posted st. Paul politician
told the writer one day this week that
the United States District Attorney
would not come from the twin cities.
The same gentleman said that it was
his understanding that Senator Clapp
wanted G. G. Haupt of Fergus Falls,
An old and trusted lieutenant of the
Senator, and he expressed the belief
that his selection would greatly please
Senator Nelson. While our informant
may be eminently correct in his prog
nostications, it does seem to Republi-
cans down this way that it would not
only be graceful act, but deserved
recognition as we'll, to give the posi-
tion to one of the several candidates
in Southern Minnesota. This is the
section where the party gets its ma.
jorities, and it would seem but an aci
of righteous appreciation that occa.
sional recognition should be expressed
by the senators through the channel Of
federal appointment.

E. G. Huntington of the Window
Reporter announces this week that
owing to the ill health of his daughter
extending over three years, he is
obliged to go south the coming winter
with her. AS result he has made a
business change in his Office, and E.
b. Gessell of Burlington, Iowa, will
look after the interests of the Reporter
during his absence. Bro. Huntington
says that in the thirty years life of the
Reporter he has not been away from
the Office but few days at time, and
that this will be his first vacation.
While all the boys will be pleased to
know that he will have winter &
vacation in the sunny south, they
will be sorry to learn the cause thai
takes him there and hope that under
the warm sun and balmy breezes Of
the southland his daughter will regain
her health and that they will have {
delightful time.

TAX ON INHERITANCES.
State Auditor ASKS Probate Jadges to
Enforce Them.

st. Paul, Sept. 30.-State Auditor
Dunn yesterday sent out circular to
the judges of probate of the state call
ing attention to the inheritance tax law
enacted by the Legislature last winter,
and asking that the quarterly reports
required by the law be sent to his
Office. The law is a reenactment of the
Inheritance tax law of 1897, amended
in accordance with the decision of the
supreme court.
The new law applies to.both real
and personal property, but all estates
amounting to So, 600 and less are
wholly exempted from the tax. If the
property passes to relatives of the de-
ceased, as defined by the law, the rate
of the tax is per cent, if 70 others,
tax Of 8 per cent is imposed. There
are no exemptions whatever from the
tax If the estate exceeds S., 900 in
value, and gifts to religious, educa-
tional and charitable institutions and
public corporations are taxed the same
as if to individuals.
The law applies to the. estates of all
who have died since April, 1901. The
law also requires in addition to the
quarterly report of the probate judges
as to estates within the provisions Of
the law, report to the register of
deeds of all transfers of property that
would apparently come under the law.
The blanks used are the same as for
the law of 1897.
The circular, after outlining the
principal provisions. of the law, con-
cludes: 81 ask YOUR hearty co-opera-
tion to the end that this wise and just
law may become firmly established
among the active revenue producing
measures of the state.
Just how much the Inheritance tax
will yield is matter of conjecture,
as the first quarterly reports required
by the law, will not be made until
Oct. 1.

VIM. J. Bryan discusses at some
length in his paper, The Commoner,
what he asserts to be a proposal to-
curtail free speech, as result Of the
shooting of President Mckinley. AS
with some other questions which the
leader of the new Democracy has at
different times set up for discussion,
the alleged proposition to suppress free
speech has no foundation whatever.
No one, so far as we have seen, who
is in position of influence, or who
occupies leading place in congress
have ever intimated that free speech
was to be in the least disturbed. Free
speech is guaranteed by the constitu-
ton and the people would never con-
sent to any meddling with it. 1t is
the abuse of free speech that has
caused the trouble, the unbridled Ii
cense, the preaching of murder of Off
Gals. The prohibiting of such talk
and the holding of meetings for the
purpose of melting murder or violence,
would in no way disturb free speech.

CREATES A SENSATION.
News of the Disaster in Samar Re-
ceived in Washinqton.

News OF the Disaster in Sanar Re-
ceived in Washington.
Washington, Sept. 30.-News of the
disastrous fight between troops of the
Ninth infantry and the insurgents in
the island Of Samar was sent prompt
ly by General Hughes, commanding in
that island, to General Chaffee at
Manila and by him transmitted to the
war department. Adjutant General
, Corbin, realizing its importance, at
once made it public, after sending a
copy to the White House. General
Chaffee's dispatch is as follows:
Hughes reports following from
Bassey, Southern Samar: Twenty
four men, Ninth regiment. United
States nfantry-wounded- just
arrived from Balangiga, remainder of
company killed. Insurgents secured
all company supplies and all rifles eX-
cept Il. Company was attacked dur
Ing breakfast morning Sept. %; COM
pany " strong; officers, Thomas W.
ConnelI Captain; Edward A. Bum
pus (first lieutenant); Or. r. S. Girls
wold (major surgeon), escaped.
The news created a sensation IN
fetal circles. 1t was che first severe
reverse that has occurred for long
time. Still the officials were not I'M
prepared for news of just this charac-
ter from Samar, in which the revolu-
ton started by Aguinaldo still con-
| tinues. Sarnar is a country about as
| large as the state Of Ohio and the
| American forces of occupation num-
Der IN all between 2, 1000 and $500 men.
These are distributed among various
posts in the island, large number
being located at the more important
centers.
Spain Never Made Any Effort
to occupy Samar, and it has only been
! for probably three months that the
! United States has Undertaken that
work The latest report made by
General Hughes to the war depart
ment was that the number Of fnsur-
gent rifles in the island aggregated
about 900.
! The Filipinos carried on guerrilla
warfare and operations against them
were difficult. The disaster to Com
pany C of the Ninth infantry occurred
| It; is believed, while it was engaged in
an expedition to clear the country Of
rowing bands of these insurgents. The
fact that the Americans were attacked
while at breakfast indicates the dar
| Ing and pluck Of the insurgents.
! Company G was a portion OF tht
Ninth regiment of United States in
I fantry which went to China at th'
time of the Boxer outbreak and which
!! there performed valiant service. Late
the troops ent to Manila and were
engaged in provost duty in that city
During the past month battalion o
the Ninth was sent TO Samar. Al
the officers connected with Compan,
lC, which was almost wiped out by TIT
Insurgents, are named in Genera
Chaffee's dispatch, there being NJ

pany.

Maggie, the anarchist who was with
the Andrews Opera company, and who
is accused with having predicted the
death of President Mckinley before
the first of October, and declaring, it
was ordered by the anarchists, is held
to the action of the grand jury out in
New Mexico. He now denies that he
ever said anything relative to the
death of Mckinley, and that while
he is an anarchist he had no desire for
the removal by violence of an Ameri-
can executive and is only opposed to
the ruling family in Italy, who's e
course he declares has oppressed the
poor people of that country and made
their lot hard one. Strange how
these anarchists commence to change
their tune as soon as they set into the
shadow of the law they so effect to
despise.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN
How He Attained His Present
EnViabIe Position.

Honesty, aggressiveness and health
are the requisites for success"
These are the words of John Fl. Riley,
OF Cazenovia, N. Y, who has attained the
main thing that all men desire. "The
first two qualities [ mention are necess-
ary," he continued, eff man or a wo-
man wants to rise in life, but they are of
little use If the third is not in your poss-
ession."
In response to questions he said:
"About two years ago I was taken
down with infammatory rheumatism
and was fiat on my back, racked with
pain and as helpless as a child for four.
teen weeks. During those weeks I suff-
cred as only they who have infamma-
tory rheumatism can suffer"
"Didn't you have any medical attend
ance?" queried the reporter.
Eyes, had the best that could be pro-
cured but the doctors did not help me-"
"But how did you become cured?"
"Before I was taken sick I had seen
advertisements Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People which stated that
they were good for rheumatism. I was,
willing to try anything for relief so got
some and was benefited almost immedi-
ately. had taken but six boxes when I
was able to return to my work, but 7
continued taking them till nine boxes
were used up. I was entirely cured and
have had no return of the trouble
since. I consider DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People wonderful remedy,
and have recommended them to q
great many people"
Rheumatism has been cured in hun.

CZOLGOSZ SENTENCED.

Czolgosz has been sentenced to die
during the week beginning with o.
tober 2Sth The law will be avenged,
and justice will rule. When the blow
was first struck the indignation of the
people was such that they would have
dispatched him without law, and re-
greet was expressed that the populace
did not lynch him on the spot But
as. their Indignation cooled, better
Judgment has prevailed and they now
recognize the blot it would have been
upon our nation had violence prevailed
upon that occasion. We have shown
to the world that under the most ag-
gravating of circumstances that as a
free people we are capable of controll-
ing ourselves and allowing the law to
take its course And all the more
honor to the republic is it that the law
mas taken its course. With Czolgosz
when one recalls the cords of Presi-
dent Mckinley in his last message to
congress regarding lynching, when
referring to the lynching of the five
Italians in Louisiana. He said ::
S'Lynching must not be tolerated in a
great and civilized country like the
United States. Courts, not mobs, must
execute the penalties of the law. The
preservation of public order, the right
of discussion, integrity of courts and
orderly administration of justice must
continue forever the rock of safety up
on which our government securely
rests. -
More terrible than the punishment
itself will be these intervening weeks
upon the assassin, if he has spark of
humanity within his breast. So far he
has not seemed to care anything abou
the fate which awaits him, and has
taken the trial with stoical silence.
Now that the beginning of the end
commences, he may possibly awaken
from his seeming Indifferent attitude,
but it seems doubtful. He still main
tains ne had no accomplice and so
told the court when sentence was pro-
nounced.
