FREEDOM NEAR. AT HAND.
Prison Managers mt Stillyvater
Minn., Vote, to Parole the
Younger Boys.

st. Paul, Minn., May 8.-Coleman
and James Younger. the most noted
convicts in the state prison at Still
water, on Tuesday won the first step
towards freedom from that institu-
ton, to which. they were sent for life
over rs years ago. For over 20 years
their friends have been working in
their behalf, each governor being inn
portuned frequently for a pardon.
The third brother, Bob, died in the
Saltwater prison a few years. ago,
but the efforts for the liberation of
the now old men have never ceased.
Ten years ago a pardon board, COM
posed of the governor, attorney gen.
eral and chief Justice, was created,
one of the arguments in it's favor
being the relief it would give the
chief executive from the friends Of
the Youhgcrs. Since then the pardon
board has been asked repeatedly to
act fayorably on applications for par
don of the Youngers, but the re-
quired unanimous vote could never
be secured. Two years ago bill was
presented to the legislature provid-
ing for the parole of life! prisoners,
and was passed by the senate but
killed in the house. This year SINH
lar bill, after several hard encounters
on the floor of the two houses, got
through and secured the approval OF
Gov. Vansant, but an amendment to
it required the unanimous approval
of the board of pardons before pai
roles Of life prisoners could become
effective. The 6pp0tentss Of the
Youhgers let; the bill go through in
this shape, but nothing could come
of IT. Under the provisions of this
law the board of prison managers on
Tuesday unani mously recommended
the parole of the Youngers. This
recommendation will be at once pre-.
sehted to the Beard 81 pardbns, but
none Of the niembersj Of the board
would; say whether a'sps6ial meeting
would be called to. consider the: mat
ter. The next regular meeting, will
be- held in July. Before final action
it would be necessary to have the
legality of the two, provisions Of tie
new law PASSED upon. III. tho. meth

count of the banquets and receptions

| jected' to incorporating an account
of the social programme in the re-
port, but the commission insisted up
on this point.
In reference, to the third clause of
the Plat amendment the report
stated that the United States would
not intervene unless Cuba were at
tackled by foreign power, or unless
there existed in Cuba a condition of
affairs similar to that which existed
under Spain at the time of American
Intervention.
Regarding coaling stations, the re-
port sets forth that the places so de-
sired by the United. States were Capes
Maysi and San Antonio and another
point commanding the entrance to
the Gulf of Mexico. These would be
definitely determined upon when
drawing up the treaty and that the
object of these stations would be the
maintenance Of the independence Of
Cuba as we'll as the protection, of the
United States.
The report also, said that the Unit
ed States would in no way interfere
in the local government and that
President Mckinley had promised to
appoint a commission to meet a
Cuban commission to discuss the
economic question and to draw up q
commerciaf treaty as soon as the re-
public is es tablished, and that he adj
vised the Cubans in the meantime to
study the situation in this respect.
The report announced that Secrc-
tary Root had said that there was
nothing in the Platt amendment to
prevent Cuba having diplomatic rep
resentatives in foreign countries.
Makes Good Impression.
The report has evidently made .
good impression, and only a few rad
icals will continue to oppose it's ac-
ceptance. Senior Villuenda, in an open
letter declaring his intention to ac-
cept the amendment, said he first
thought that if the convention re-
jected the amendment Washington
might change its policy, as he then
believed the amendment was the
work of party. 81 now believe" says
Senior Villuenda, shat the amend
ment is the work of the nation.
There is, no. use in Directing to the
inevitable. It is either annexation or
a republic with the amendment, and
I prefer the latter. The United
States government, by insisting upon
the amendment, shows that the
Americans have changed from their
policy before the war and that they
no longer rely upon the Monroe doc
trine to- protect the interests of
american republics"
The convention will meet Thursday
and is expected to take definite ac-
ton Saturday.

IT is a question in the minds of many
whether the street improvements, so cal
led. are in all instances Inducements.
Church Circle is being so narrowed at
the intersection Of School street that it
will be impossible for more than one
team to drive through at a time. and
will scarcely give room for two teams to
pass each other. Ii is understood the
pavement around Church Circle is to be
narrowed foot or more. This will de-
tract from the appearance of the Circle.
