tee of the whole. Representative
Sageng Of Otter Tail county, who,
by the way, has about the same ex-
preston and flow of oratory as has
A. d. Stewart Of Redwood county,
sent up an amendment to the me-
mortal, asking Congress to abolish
the protective tariff. Sageng is a
Populist, and,in this differs from
Mr.. Stewart, and when his amend
ment was read it created merrl-
ment. Representative Roberts, all
thor of the memorial, at once ac-
cused Mr.. Sageng of working poll
tics, and here Capt. Riley arose and
stated that in view of the action OF
the house on the preceding day he
had no doubt but what Mr.. Sageng
was still laboring under the hallu
cination that his side was in the
majority A pause Of five seconds
followed, and then the tumble com
menced, and five seconds later it be-
came apparent that Capt. Riley had
made about as distinctive a hit as
did the late G. K. Davis in the Unit
ed States senate, when he compared
the Cleveland administration S ac-
lions regarding the annexation OF
Hawaii with the actions of Don
Quixote and Sancho Panza. When
Mr.. Riley finished Mr.. Jacobson
dealt in some severe sarcasm on the
action of Mr.. Sageng, by saying
that because the Republicans in Con
gress attempted to pass an anti
trust law the Democrats and Popu-
lists there did not want them to,
and voted nay, and he thought that
the action of the minority in the leg
islature might be along the line OF
the minority IN Congress. Mr.. Sa-
geng, while proving himself to be a
good orator in his maiden speech,
considered himself badly crushed.

views.
Mr.. Gilbert of Gales township is
not satisfied with the present law
regarding rural high schools. He
wants a rural high school to which
the sons and daughters of farmers
can be sent and be prepared for
their entrance into the State agri-
Icultural college, and thus thorough
]ly fit them for their future life on
the farm. Mr.. Gilbert's lengthy
letter on this question contains
many valuable suggestions, and

If you take the map you will notice
that the valley of the Minnesota.

toward Lake Ira ,erse, and that the
latter is the head water basin for the
Stream that flows up to Abercrombie:
The two basins that of the Mimi

people in 100, for L'HuilIier; meet

They did express great wonder
at our white skins, and they did

much to eat and were at peace with
US.
Look again on the map and you
will see three dates beneath crossed
swords: New Ulm, August, 1862.
Birch Coolie, August, 1852. Wood
Lake, Sept. 23. 1852" These mark
the last battles of the Sioux for the
possession of that great sweep Of
land from Mankato to Abercrombi bic
and beyond.
At New Ulm they surprised the
whites, burned their homes, killed
the men and ravished the woman.
They carried the little, children
away and left on the bosom of the
blue belled prairie splotches of
blood and trail of fire. At Birch
Coolie they came down in the night
upon the volunteer troops sent out
to avenge the New Ulm massacre
and destroyed nearly ain entire com
mand. At Wood Lake they we're
overtaken and terribly punished.
Then began the long fight covering
the better part of year and a half

the waters of the upper Missouri

streams and valleys where their
forefathers had ruled, where their

There ought to stand at Abercom-
bic a great shaft Of marble on which
should be cut the names of the dead
pioneer chiefs of the past and the
names of the great Indian chiefs
Whe preceded them. The names of
the pioneers should be on the east
front of the shaft and those of the
Sioux on the west front, and the
shaft should tell in marble the ro-
nance Of the day that was and the
story of the day that is.

New York, Dec. 20.-That William
Marconi's wireless experiments in
Newfoundland cannot be stopped by
the Anglo-American Telegraph COM
pany, ever by resort to the courts, is
the assertion of Marconi's representa-
tives here. They further state that he
cannot be stopped ever from trans

say the charter of the Anglo-Ameri-
can company. by which it claims mo-
nopoly of Geographic communication
between Newfoundland and other

the Marconi company before an at

charter would not interfere with the
sending of wireless messages to and

years that the charter has yet to run,
They declare in the first place that q

LASTED EIGHT ROUNDS.
Fight for the MiddeI Weight Worlds
Championship.


San Francisco, Dec. 2O.-George
Gardiner of Lowell. Mass, and "Kid"
Carter of Brooklyn, N. Y, met to-
night at the Merchants Pavilion I'M
der the auspices of the San Francisco
Athletic club in what was announced
as a contest for the middle-Weight
championship of the world. Gardi-
ner clearly established his right to
the title by knocking out Carter in the
eighth round.
The men had met twice before I'M
der similar conditions, and on each
occasion the Lowell man was return
ed winner. Tonight's result clearly
accentuated the fact that Gardeners
fistic superiority over Carter is com
plete, and as the latter recently
knocked out Joe Walcott, the victory
is significant.
Tonight's contest was one of the
fiercest ever witnessed in this city
Gardiner was the aggressor from the
start.
Carter's ability to stand punishment
was a revelation, and stood him wei
in hand. Both victor and vanquishet
were tremendously cheered as the!
left the ring.

So, who has just returned from the
capital-labor conference in New York,
was at the white house today, and talk

conference.

1.-The greatest step ever taken for the
speedy settlement of disputes arising
between labor and capital. The or
g%anization of capital, which has come
to stay, was an evolution which was
naturally preceded by the organization
of labor which also has come to stay,
and the concentration of the interests
of the two factors which should be
friendly, not hostile, into the hands
of a comparatively few individuals,
will be for the best interests Of both.
Too much, of course, must not be ex'
pected at first. The agreement reached
at the New York conference was sim
ply a platform, and the agreement that
is to result from it mus
develop in the future. The
public must not get the idea that we
are to revolutionize existing relations
in the condition Of labor and capita

BID Gov. TAFT. FAREWELL
FlLlPlNOS CALL AND WISH HIM
A SAFE VOYAGE.
Governor Tells Members Of Federal
Party That He Will Return
Before May.

Manila, Dec. 2O:-Over 1000 mem
bers of the federal party called on
Governor Taft today to bid him fare
we'll and to wish him a safe return.
The governor addressed $50 of the
most prominent of his visitors say
ing that he was touched and honored
by their presence. The organization,
he added, had done so much towards
bringing about peace and giving the
country a stable party that it argues
more for the success of American
labor than anything else during the
recent critical times.
The reports circulated in the United
States, founded on incidents connect
ed with the war in Batangas province
and the island of Samar, the governor
said, tend to convey a wrong impress
sion of the situation, which is really
hopeful.
The military disaster in Samar had,
he said, created an unfounded feel
ing of uneasiness concerning the con
dition of the people of the rest of the
archipelago. The war in Batangas and
Samar, kept up by misguided men
furnishes the only obstacle to obtain
ing liberal legislation on the part OF
congress.
Continuing, the governor said thai
he would return here, he liked the
| Filipinos, and regretted leaving al
this particular time, but it was a com
fort to know that the duties of the OF
fee we're in the hands of Vice-Goy
ernor Wright, an able lawyer, who
sympathized deeply with the bes
hopes of the people. In conclusion
the governor said he expected to b.
back before May and he hopes to hav'
the pleasure of preseting the fedora
party's memorial to the president.

cisions such a grant would not oper-
ate to bar al invention that was un-
known at the time the concession was
granted.
C. Cuthbert Hall, general manager
of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company, said in IN interview:
we are rather glad than otherwise
that this attempt to stop Mr.. Marconi
has been made. Even if we go no
further in Newfoundland, although we
can do so if we wish, it will do us no
harm. There are other places along
the coast equally available. This in
reference shows, to my mind, that the
cable companies look on us as a dan
gerous competitor. 1t rather pleases
me as an acknowledgment of the fact
that wireless t%elegraphy is a coming
force"
Edward Norman, counsel for the
| Marconi company, said:
"This action by the Anglo-American
company is a surprise to me, as l had
supposed that there would be no hos
tility, direct or indirect. Before Mr.
Marconi attempted to make expert
ments in Newfoundland I examined
the Anglo-American charter with I
view to determining his rights. 1t il
clear that the company cannot sto1
scientific experiments. The compan,
seems to have feared active competi
ton and, therefore, to have taken tn
bull by the horns"

New York, Dec. 20.-At his labora-

A.. Edison authorized the following
statement concerning William Mar
coni's feat in receiving wireless tele-

"Since Marconi has stated over his
own signature that he received signals
from England, l believe it and l think
he will carry it to a commercial sue
cess. It is a great achievement and
he is a great experimenter."

president. Mr.. Gage would like to be
relieved before spring. The president
has done all he could to dissuade Sec
rotary Gage from retiring and prob
IDLY will continue to use his efforts
in that direction.
Secretary Cages intention to retire
was made known to the president
some time ago, just how long is no
known outside the cabinet.
The long conference between the
president and the secretary before
the cabinet meeting today, which fol-
lowed the secretary's return from
New York, where he attended the ban
uuet of the Bankers association last
night had nothing to do with this
subject. 1t related to the matter OF
the removal of Appraiser Walkman,
whose resignation Secretary Gage re-
quested a few days ago.
Appraiser Wakeman wrote a letter
to Secretary Gage declining to resign
in the course of which he took occa-
sion to reflect upon Secretary Gage.
The president did not approve OF the
spirit of the letter and at the confer
ence, it is understood, it was decided
to summarily remove Mr.. Wakeman
After the cabinet meeting Secretary
Gage declined to say anything about
the rumors of his resignation beyond
the simple statement that he haC
formally resigned. What l may o.

"but l can say that the relations be

wrote Secretary Gage declining to

things, Mr.. Wakeman takes up the
recent Japanese silk frauds cases at
this port. In this connection he says:
"My resignation would be an admis-
sion that in connection with the re-
cent silk case l was mistaken. No
greater frauds upon the revenues have
been discovered than in these cases,
which included under valuation,
