The attempt to settle the steel strike
has proved failure, majority of the
executive committee of the union de-
Ginning to accept the terms offered by
the big steel company which President
Schaffer of the union then said was
acceptable. The offer was virtually
what the union first asked for and it is
hard to determine what it has gained
by tine refusal to come to any agree
ment. There has been no dispute as
to wage scale or time, the whole differ
ence being upon the question of union
izing the mills. The strike leaders at
first asserted that all they wanted was
the permission of the company to or
ganize the non-union men if they de-
sired to join the organization. In the
offer which Morgan and Schaub made
to Schaffer and his associates more
than a week ago they agreed to this
privilege, and further agreed to pay
the same scale of wages in all their
mills. This removed another objection
which the union had referred to.
To what extent the struggle will now
go is hard to say. Both sides assert
that it will be fight to the finish.
This may mean that it will be widely
extended to take in many other
b ranches and it may not be as extern
sive as many of the strike leaders as
sert. Certain that the strike leaders
have now lost what they had already
won, and won easily. Had the terms
offered been accepted, it would not
have been many months before all of
the mills would have been unionized.
Now if the steel combine should win
there will not be plant within its
control probably that will recognize
the union. Such an outcome would
indeed be a sad blow to organized
labor. This may be the outcome. On
the other hand the union may win, in
which case capital would be largely,
if not entirely dominated by it. More
likely, however, there will yet be
some compromise effected between the
two great bodies to end the struggle

= DR.. Marie Merrill, who has occupied
the position of lady physician at the
st. Peter state hospital for some
months past, severed her official con-
nection with that institution on We'd
nesday, her formal resignation having
been rendered to the hospital board of
trustees about month ago. DR.. Mer-
rill left the same day for ST. Paul, and
yesterday at that place occurred her
marriage to Mr.. William G. Hyde, the
announcement of which will be a
pleasant surprise to her many friends
and acquaintance here. The cere-
mony occurred Friday afternoon at
the Cathedral, St. Paul, and was a
quiet wedding. The newly married
couple have left for short trip to
Buffalo, via. the lakes, after which
they will return to Mcmillan, Mon
tana, where they are to make their
permanent residence, and where Mr..
Hyde is extensively interested in cattle
ranches. st. Peter Herald.

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Silas Bradley,
at Winona, at four o'clock Saturday,
After a brief trip they will re-
turn to Mankato Tuesday and will be
at home at 14S Glenwood avenue.
Mr. Gervin is one of Uncle Sam s
efficient letter carriers and is first
class young man in every respect. His
bride has visited in Mankato, and has
numerous friends here and at Winona.
The best wishes of all will accompany
the young couple through life.

Mayor Ames of Minneapolis an
nounces himself as candidate for con-
gress to succeed Congressman Fletcher
It is possible that Ames may succeed
in his ambition, but though Mime
apolis often gets crazy and goes wrong
politically, it is hardly possible that
she will discard Fletcher for Ames.
This would be throwing over her last
card of good political sense.

With the dynamiting of an express
train within thirty miles of Chicago
for the purpose of robbery, one may
well ask if our modern civilization is
a failure. When the matter became
known, Chicago must have wondered
if it was located somewhere out in the
mountain wilds.

Granite Falls Journal: The bridge
across the Minnesota river at Myers
was blown off it's piers into the river
Sunday evening. The bridge was built
by Chippewa and Yellow Medicine
counties. We are told it rested on the
center pier and the end abuttments
without anything to hold it down. 1t
is in the woods where one would ina
CINE the wind could not strike it with
sufficient force to blow it over, but it
did all the same. We have also heard
of two barns blown down over in
Chippewa county, but have not learn
ed any of the particulars.
Madelia Messenger: The wheat
crop is proving to be better than was
at first thought. Several parties have
threshed and yields are reported from
10 to % bushels TO the acre, the grain
| is sound and of good color grading
No. 1 and 2. South and west of
town the crops are injured more than
they are north and east We expect
to hear of some good yields north of
town.
st. Peter Herald From present in
dications and judging from the amount
of wheat that has already been thresh-
ed, it would seem that the average
yield for Nicollet county would be from
IL to 16 bushels per acre, with perhaps
few fields running up as high as 90
or a5 bushels. Early sown wheat has
Jared the best, as it ripened earlier
and thus avoided the damaging heat
of the last few weeks. Late so wn
wheat is badly shrunk, and some of it
only grades No. g. The bulk of the
crop in Nicollet county will probably
grade No. 2 and 8.
The yield in LIE Sueur county will be
heavier, and the grain of a better
quality. Chas. Carpenter threshed
wheat at his Lake Emily farm the first
of the week, and it went about 33
bushels to the acre and graded No. g.
VIM. Pell of Traverse threshed
about 1900 bushels of wheat at his
farm, the yield being about II bushels
to the acre and No. 2 in quality.
John Michaels, of Oshawa, has a
yield of II or 10 bushels to the acre,
and the grade is NO. 2,
Winnebago City Enterprise: A
gentleman of this place, whose bust
ness has taken him into the country
nearly every day for the past two
months, informs an Enterprise CORES
pondent that at least one-hundred and
twenty-five valuable horses have been
killed by the heat, within a radius of
twenty-five miles of Winnebago City,
during the heated spell just past.
Brown County Journal: Crops in
Brown county are not to be listed in
the failure column. On the whole the
crops are good. Corn gives excellent
promise since the rain of last Satur-
day, and prospects now are that there
will be big yield.
Oats have yielded at least 90 bushels
an acre on the average throughout the
country.
Wheat will run, at the lowest, IL
or is bushels to the acre.
Barley is fair crop, the average be-
ing 90 to 80 bushels.
Rye yields % to 80 bushels.
Cutting is finished. Stacking is al
most done.

There is an impression that at the

other sources 1t is learned that Mr. Bra

now the recognized leader in Anne Arun-

MOONS PHASE 8.
TIE MAJORITY REPORT APPROVED

The Secretary OF the Navy has APP
proved the opinion Of the majority Ct
the Court OF Inquiry. which found Adj
miral Schley censurable on all but one
specification OF the preoept prepared by
the Navy Department Secretary Long
holds that the court was not called upon
TO render an opinion as TO whether Adj
miral Sampson or Admiral Schley was
in command at the battle Of Santiago, or
as to which Of them was entitled to the
credit for the victory. The opinion OF
Admiral Dewey. the president of the
Court. on this and all other points, is
disapproved. In conclusion the Secre-
tary approves the recommendation OF the
court that mo further proceedings be
had in the premises"
Secretary Longs action viii not be APP
proved by fair-minded men. although it
will doubtless give great satisfaction to
the enemies OF Admiral Schley As the
Secretary OF the Navy has refused to
allow justice TO be done to dis,ing uish-
ed officer-reJectlng almost contemptu-
ously the conclusions reached by the
President OF the court, the officer Of
highest rank in the navy-the public
will now look to the President of the
United States TO iteTvene and secure
justice for Admiral Schley. Mr.. Roose-
welt has only to read the bill of excep-
tons fled by Admiral Schley's counsel
to be convinced that the majority opin-
ion of the court is utterly unwarranted
by the testimony. This fact is made
unmistakably clear by Admiral Schley's
lawyer. The responsibility now rests
upon President Roosevelt of either per-
hitting grievous injury to be done
gallant naval officer or OF taking the
necessary steps to set aside the ''appal.
ling verdict" of the court
President Roosevelt cannot escape
this responsibility. He is a man of
courage and doubtless has no inclina-
ton to evade the duty which now de-
wolves upon him. The majority of the
people of this country--the overwhelm-
ing majority-will not accept the fad
ings OF the court as a just and reason
able verdict. They have read the testi.
mony and they are as competent to form
an opinion on the main issues as the
members of the court who have con-
demned Admiral Schey. Secretary
Longs approval of this verdict will not
make them change their minds To enter
that verdict upon the records of the
Navy Department will be a monstrous
injustice to an officer who has served his
country with distinction. II is for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to say whether this wrong
shall be consummated. If he does not
intervene fair-minded men will be deep
ly disappointed. President Roosevelt,
in the popular mind, is just man. Here
is an opportunity for him to do an act of
simple justice which will be commended
by the American people. The Baltimore
