Chippewa county is the home Of the
lieutenant governor and Pope county
is the home of Frank NJ Eddy, the
present representative in Congress from
the old Seventh district. Hence an in
creased vote from those two candidates
in their respective counties.
1t is probable that the basis OF
representation in a congressional
convention for the new district,
providing the primary law does not
wipe out the convention system as
pertains to representatives IN con-
gress and county and judicial Off
Gals, will be one delegate at large
and one vote for every 100 votes
cast, or major fraction thereof, for
one of the above four candidates.
Owing to the fact that a large num-
Der of Democrats voted for the Re
publican electors for Preside and
that a large number Of Republicans
voted for the Populistic. candidate
for Governor at the recent ection,
it is altogether probable that neither
one OF these two votes will be con-
sidered in arriving at a basis Of
representatio although the vote on
Presidents not entirely out Of the
question. The more likely propo
sition will be the vote onlieut tenant

tain it is that Mr.. Bowling will

of Red wood county, and being an

that gentleman is likely to cut some

DEBATE ON SENATE RULES
 IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION

Washington, March 5.-The debate on the Senate rules, which was begun in the open session of the Senate today, was continued in the executive session. The principal participants were Senator Ma son on the Republican side and Senators Teller and Jones of Arkansas on the op- position. MT. Mason contended that un- der the rules as they at present stood it was in the power of the minority to pre- vent, and therefore negatively to control legislation. Messrs. Jones and Teller con- tended that there never had been fall ure to pass bill which had the real and sincere of majority of the Senate be- cause of the absence of cloture rule. MT Mason controverted this.
 will the Senator from Illinois name bill that has been defeated by the mf- nority," asked MT Jones.
 "Will the Senator from Arkansas tell the Senate" responded MT. Mason, ig- noring the question. how many times he was consulted about the ship subsidy bill and how many concessions he was asked to make in order to permit the consid- eration of the measure to proceed"
 q think reply to this question" add ed MT. Mason, Twill illustrate the point of my contention better than anything can say.
 MT. Teller said he saw in the movement which had been set on foot a determined effort to cut off debate in the only na- tional tribunal in which there was abso- lutely freedom of debate. This he con sidered a step in tho subversion of liber- ty. He declared that whatever might be accomplished at a later session. the rules could not be changed during the present special session.

RICHARD CROKER
 HAS NAKED WROTH
Oenounces Newspaper Inter- views as a Complete String
 ofLies-WilI Investigate

London. March 5.-Richard Croker has seldom expressed his indignation at un- authorized newspaper interviews in such strong terms as he used today when shown a copy of a New York newspaper of February 1, containing an alleged ex- elusive statement of his views regarding New York politics.
 You know how frequently I have de clined to talk, even to the Associated Press on current events in New York, said MT Croker this morning, and to find myself committed in the columns of any paper regarding matters 1 never have mentioned to person, is enough to exas- perate anyone.
 Not a single line of the entire inter- view has foot to stand on. It is a tis- sue of lies from beginning to end. The newspaper has been frightfully imposed on by somebody, and that person l pro- pose to discover and whip out of journ- alism. If he Is prepared to perjure him self, I am ready to declare that l was nowhere near on the day he is alleged to have seen me.
 Absolute proof of the wholesale false
  laration announcing the forthcoming ma- jorites in New York I don't think have ever been accused of being such a fool as that. The statement that l have bought 115 acres of property here is equal ly as untrue as my alleged statements regarding Devery, Coler and others.
 'As l have frequently told the Asso- ciated Press when decided to talk Amer ican politics I would talk to the Associat- ed Press alone, and no one can draw me out by subterfuge. It has come to such a pass that l am unable to talk with re- porters except in the presence or wit nesses. All kinds of fends have been photographing my place, dogs, stables, etc., using the pictures to give a sem blance of truth to their libelous state mentS.
 "I ask the Associated Press to say to my friends in New York that l am con- stantly improving in health and believe my strength will gain faster here than in America the next few months. I am not talking politics to anyone, and sensa- tional reports to the contrary may be set down as fakes. I am only talking now because indignation compels me to set myself right with my friends in New York"

AMERICAN KILLED BY RUSSIAN COUNT Fought Duel With Pistols at Ostend d-Trouble Arose
 About a Woman

Paris, March 5-John MacWilson Du- rant, of New York, who has been living for the past two years in Paris with his has been killed at Ostend in a duel with a Russian count.
 According to the best information ob- tainable MT. Durant had written letters to the wife of the Russian count. The latter's nephew came to Paris to settle the matter where he met MT. Durant in a restaurant, where a vicious fight re- suited in which MT. Durant lost his front teeth. He struck the Russian with heavy glass water bottle and the latter died, but the doctors certificate gave congestion of the brain as the cause of death. This occurred during January. Later the count took the matter up, send ing his seconds to MT. Durant.
 The latter went to Ostend with his mother, who afterwards departed, and who is still at Glasgow. A duel was ar ranged and probably fought yesterday with pistols Durant was killed and the count seriously wounded.
 Durant registered as Charles Neville Carter. His mother has been notified. Durant was well known In the American colony here. He was a frequent attend ant at official receptions given by the American officials. His engagement to a young French lady was recently an nounced They were to be married this month.

 Interesting Point

Chicago, March 5.-Sundry moments of sleep snatched by a judge during the process of a trial are not sufficient grounds for granting a new trial, accord ing to a decision rendered in the Appel late Court here today.
 This decision was given in the case of John Anderson, a teamster, against the Chicago City Railway Company on an appeal from the lower court, where q jury had awarded the teamster $75OO damages for injuries sustained in a col lson with a street car. The defendant appealed the case on the ground that Judge Stein. who presided over the court, had slumbered a few minutes while evil dence was being submitted to the jury.
