Jan Kubelik. the young Bohemian vi
olinist, who has just arrived in this

Gov. Van SAINT, Attorney General
Douglas and members of the Minnesota
railroad commission will go to Wash
ington to confer with the interstate
commerce commissioners regarding ac-
ton against the railroad merger. 1t is
certainly wise movement.
It has been suggested that Guam, one
Of the possessions recently acquired by
the United States, lying east OF the
Philippines, would furnish an ideal place
to which anarchists could be banished.
This island is desolate and forbidding
place. and when once an anarchist Is
placed upon its shores there would be
no chance for escape. as few steamers
enter the ports of the island. Already
Guam is being used for keeping num-
Der OF the Philippine rebels where they
will be out Of harms way, and where
their influence for disorder will be COM
Ipletely overcome. Those who have visit
ed Guam report 1t to be one OF the most
undesirable places on the globe, as the
natives are of low order, the climate Is
bad, and there is nothing to recommend
it. 1t would not be necessary for any
person condemned to spend his life on
this desolate place to work, as the soil
produces enough to sustain life without
cultivation.

"a combine is being effected among the

auspices of Rothschilds, who thru the
Spanish investments have large inter-

William Jennings Bryan is out with
the declaration that Filipinos and Jap

Rev. McMasters. Of rama, explains in
the Free Press his movements in visit

was raging, and for which he has been
criticised. Early in the season, when
reports Of suffering. exposure, neglect
and dead, with sharp criticism OF the
churches and people of Tama and Tole-
do came to him he believed 1t to be his
duty to investigate. and he did so. He
went thru part of the camps and the
following Sabbath told what he had
seen. He was censured and accused OF
misrepresenting conditions. To be fair,
he requested permission to accompany
Agent Malin and the physicians on their
inspection. Then the state board of
health inspected the camp and their re-
port was much worse than his. Later
Mayor Hober called him up and told
him he could get no one to so to the In
dian camps to put up the stoves and DR..
Corns was in the camps and had no
help. Rev. McMasters adds: Think OF
it; that old man out there working
among those Indians and not soul In
