Grasshoppers.

Prof. E. B. Forbes has temporarily
taken charge of the department of en-
tomology at the state college Of agri-
culture at st. Anthony Park, and is
now at work in the Red River valley
exterminating grasshoppers, having
taken up the work where Prof. Lugger
left it at his death. According to a
letter received by Dean Liggett, Of the
agricultural college, from Prof. Forbes
grasshoppers are infesting that part Of
the state in large numbers. The work
of exterminating the pests with the
famous hopper dosers,' the method
used by Prof. Lugger, is being success
fully carried out and will lessen the
bad results this year. It is feared that
unless all fields are carefully and thor
oughly plowed this fall there will be
great destruction of crops in the north
west next year.

One Explanation.

While his death is severe shock to-
his friends here, those who know
young Mr.. Hay intimately from his
college days we're quite able to COM
prehend the circumstances of the fatal
accident. 1t is said to have been not
at all unusual for him to stand an hour
Or SO at his bedroom window at night
smoking while engaged in meditation.
In fact. this is said to have been almost
habit with him, and this, in connec-
tion with the further fact that he had
suffered at more or less frequent inter
vals from attacks ofvertigo, makes the
manner Of his taking off easy for his
intimate friends to understand

MAY END THE STRIKES.
Mnchinists and Employer. to Hold a
Conference In New York
Tuesday

Washington, June Settlement
of the machinists' strike may be
agreed upon at an important confer
ence which is scheduled for New York
city Tuesday. Many individual mem
bers of the Employers association
have accepted the demands of the
workmen. In Chicago, President
OConnell says. zen of the 90 members
of the association have yielded and 6s
other employers, practically all out
side the association, have also surren-
dered. The same condition exists in
substantially all the large cities, ac-
cording to President O'Connell He
says that only small minority of the
employers have refused to accept the
demands. Those employers who are
resisting the strike contend that the
union officials have violated the agree
ment to arbitrate, but Mr.. O'Connell
insists that he and his associates are
ready to arbitrate and that the en-
ployers decline to meet them.
Ralph M. Easley, of Chicago, secre-
tary of the National Civic Federation,
has just left Washington after con-
ference with Mr. O'Connell and other
officers of the Machinists' union. He
brought with him an invitation ex-
tended by the National Civic Fedora
ton for the machinist officials to ap-
point committee of three to meet a
committee from the employers. The
invitation was promptly accepted by
Mr.. O'Connell and Mr.. Easley gave
him assurances that the conference
would be arranged. The employers
have been approached by Mr.. Easley
and invited to meet the machinists
and have had the invitation under con-
sideration for several days. Mr.. Eas-
ley is confident, from the encourage
ment given him by the employers,
that they will be represented by q
committee.
It will be notable victory for the
national Civic Federation if the en-
ployers are persuaded to meet the Off
cials Of the Machinists' union. Mr..
O'Connell believes that a conference
with free exchange of ideas will re-
suit in the employers granting the
workingmen's demands. That the de-
mands were reasonable he demon
strates by showing that Large ma
jority Of the employers, members of
the association, have accepted them,
leaving the minority to fight the
strike. The Indications point strong
ly to settlement of the dispute early
next week.

the sad news came to the secretary OF
state in the early Sabbath morning.
Secretary Cortelyou, however, was
sympathetically helpful, and, realizing
the feverish desire of Mr.. Hay toreach
New Haven, he looked up the railway
time tables and arranged for an early
departure, so that by nine o'clock Sec
retary Hay was on Pennsylvania rail-
road train speeding towards New Ha-
ven before many of his friends in
Washington knew of the calamity that
had befallen him.
As soon as the president learned the
news, however, he dispatched astele-
gram to the chief of his ca binet TO over
take: him in his journey northward, ex-
pressing:in the kindly " and sympathetic
language which characterizes the pres
ident's communications in such cases

bereaved family. Secretary Hays coli
leagues in the cabinet followed this
example and Secretary Long also sent
a personal letter of sympathy and
coincidence. The cabinet officers will

heavy showers, and generally accom-
panied by lightning and thunder In

ties there were tornado conditions on
the morning of the 18th, with violent
winds, covering small areas, and caus-
ing considerable loss to town and coun-
try buildings. In other parts Of the
southern half of the state there was
hail at scattered points, which was
very large in size, but fortunately in
small amounts; but the only crop in
jury seems to have been in Big Stone
county, where many corn fields were
seriously injured. With seasonable
temperatures and abundant moisture,
all the small grains are doing splendid

seeded on spring plowed land, are
coming up and growing nicely.

A despatch from Rotterdam. received
in London yesterday. states that the
mental condition of Mr.. Kruger is caus-
ing alarm among mis- fOIloUers and ad-
mirers. and that it has been deemed
necessary 20 summon a noted specialist
in nervous diseases from Berlin by tele-
graph.
If true. this unhappy condition of the
aged BOer leader may exert an impor-
tant influence on the future course OF
events in South Africa. There is a wide
spread belief that but for Mr.. Kruger's
stubborn determination TO continue the
struggle while there is a burgher left
20 shoot a rifle. the other leaders. in
GLIDING Botha. Kritziuger. and their
colleagues in field command. would sur
render. Should it now appear that the
DID chieftain's applicability and unwiII-
tngness TO acknowledge the hopeless
ness Of the struggle have been due 10
disordered mind. the probability
would seem TO be that his adhereuts
would no longer feel bound by his wish
es and orders and would quickly decide
10 end the war on the best terms OBJ
tainable. Further news from Rotter-
dam viii be awaited with interest.
