PRETTY HOME WEDDING.

On Wednesday evening, June Is, at
9 o'clock, Miss Edith Clifford became
Mrs. Louis J. Irish. The marriage
occurred at the home of the BRIDES
uncle, Oliver Boobar, only relatives
and immediate friends being present
as guests. Rev. G. E. Smith -offici-
ated. The bride was attired in a
simple gown of white batiste with all
over lace and pearl trimmings. The
house was decorated in white and
green. After the ceremony light re-
freshments we're served by the Misses
Leta White, Josie Seherffius, Aletha
Reid, Margaret Irish, Robbins and
Fawcett. The out-of-town guests were
Edward Clifford of Clifford, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Barto of Long Prairie,
and Miss Fawcett of St. Cloud.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Irish are held in
the khighest esteem by the people of
Sank Centre, and their friends and
well-wishers are numbered only by
the number of their acquaintance.
The many costly and pretty gifts
given them testify to degree the
high regard in which they are held.

PLEADS FOR ARBITRATION.
President Mitchell of the Mine Work.
ers Issues Statement.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 24.-In a
statement for the newspapers, Presi-
dent John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers replies to the operators, who
have declined to accede to the requests
of the union. The operators made
their letters public, and Mr.. Mitchell
follows the same course.
Mr.. Mitchell says that every possible
means was resorted to in the effort to
prevent the strike; he claims that the
cost of living has increased to the
point where the miner was compelled
to ask for higher wages.
He denies the allegation of the op-
orators that the productive capacity
of the mine workers has fallen off, but,
on the other hand, has increased, and
quotes official figures to substantiate
the contention that the employers can
pay higher wages without increasing
the cost of coal to the consumer.
Mr.. Mitchell asserts that the coal
carrying railroads, which control about
IS per cent of the mines, absorb the
profits of their coal companies by
charging exorbitant freight rates, and
claims that a ton at the mines means
anywhere from 2,740 to $3.50 pounds,
instead of 2,240, and says that more
men are killed and Injured in the an
thracite mines of Pennsylvania an
nually than were killed or wounded
during the Spanish-American war.
The address also says that in the
event of the union being crushed,
which, it adds, is not likely, a new
organization will rise from it's ruins.
1t concludes with another appeal for
arbitration of all questions in dispute.

DISCUSSION CONTINUED.
House Resumes Debate on the Philip
pine Bill.

Washington, June 24.-The house
met at IL o'clock. Some routine bust
ness preceded the resumption of the
debate upon the Philippine civil gov
eminent bill. A resolution was
adopted calling upon the secretary of
war for information as to any pay
ments made by Governor General
Wood to F. B. Thurber and any other
persons or corporations, together with
the dates and amounts of such pay
ments, for advocating reciprocity with
Cuba.
The consideration of the Philippine
civil government bill then was re-
sumed and Mr.. De Almond (Mo.) made
a general speech in opposition to the
policy of retaining the islands.
Mr.. Grosvenor CO., then took the
floor and under the latitude allowed in
general debate discussed at some
length the criticism of the rules of the
house recently INDUCED in by Mr..
Cushman (Wash.) and others.
Through the operation of the old rules
and methods previous to the Fifty-firs.
congress, he said, the house had be-
come powerless to transact business.
He pointed out that in the Fifty-sixth
congress Mr.. Cushman as well as other
critics of the rules had voted to con-
tinue them in force.

Alleged San Francisco Murderer Makes
Confession.

San Francisco, June ga special
to the Examiner from Sedro, Wash,
says that a man confessing to being
one of Nora Fuller's murderers has
surrendered to the city marshal at
that place. He says he is John Ben
nett, for whom the police have been
searching for several months. In an
interview at the Jail Bennett asserted
he would make a full confession, which
would implicate some of the most
prominent men in San Francisco. He
particularly mentioned a prominent
physician of San Francisco. He &C
knowledged that he was mixed up in
the affair at first, but asserts that he
was not the real murderer. He says
that he has been supplied with money
to assist him in evading the officers
until the last month, when the finan-
cial supplies ceased. Bennett says
Nora Fuller went with him to the SUIT
ter street house of her own free will.
81 have here letters in my pocket"
said Bennett, Showing where the real
culprits have sent me money to keep
out of the way, but now when they
have neglected me it gives me the ex-
cuse to end the awful fear and sus-
pense to which have been subjected"
The alleged Bennett answers per-
fectly the description of the supposed
murderer

Drowned in a Tub.

A distressing accident occurred at
the home of Martin W. Ostrem, three
miles north of the city, late on Monday
afternoon. His two-year-old daugh-
ter fell into tub of rain water and
when found life was extinct. The child
had evidently been playing in the
water and fell into it and was unable
to rescue itself. The m other was we'll
nigh frantic and resorted to all means
within her power to resuscitate the
little one, and sent at once for DR..
McMasters, but the child was beyond
human aid when he arrived. Mr..
Ostrem left on Monday for the farm
recently purchased by him at Nelson,
MINI. The sad intelligence was com.
municated to him and he returned
home at once. The child was drowned
on the second anniversary of her
birth.

EXPECT AN AGREEMENT.
First Conference on Canal Bill Be-
tween House and Senate.

First Conference on Canal Bill Be-
tween House and Senate.
Washington, June 24.-The opening
conference on the isthmian canal bill
at 2 o'clock led to active comment on
the outcome of this important meas
ure. Representative Hepburn, the
ranking house conferee, notified his
associates to be ready for the meeting
but no exact plans were discussed.
There is no doubt that the house con-
ferees will, at the outset, make strong
insistence on the Nicaragua route as
provided by the house bill. Messrs.
Hepburn and Davey are earnestly in
favor of the Nicaragua route and they
undoubtedly will stand by the house
bill as long as there is any possibility
of it's selection. On the other hand
Mr.. Fletcher of Minnesota considers
the Panama route better than the Mic
aragua, although he thinks fuller in
vestigation might have shown the
Darien route better than either of
the others. However, as the present
legislative issue appears to be confined
to a choice between Nicaragua and
Panama, Mr.. Fletcher probably will
cast his influence for the latter.
The length of the contest will de-
pend, therefore, on the duration of the
insistence of Messrs. Hepburn and d.
vey for the Nicaragua route and the at
titude of the house in supporting such
an insistence. There is little indica-
ton as to how long this insistence will
last, but statements made by the house
conferees lead to the belief that the
insistence will not be carried to the
point of a permanent deadlock, defeat
ing all canal legislation at this ses-
sion

good game but received poor support
in the first three innings. Jensen

excellent work at second for Morris.
A dance was given the boys after the
game, in which all Joined in for a
pleasant time.
The young ladies of Morris were
very entertaining and they all turned
out to see the boys depart for home on
the early morning train.
The boys wish to thank Mr.. Perez
for the magnificent lunch he presided
over, after the dance.
The attendance at the game was
about 500, and all said it was the best
game seen in Morris for a long time.

Strike of Toronto Street Car Men
Practically Settled.

Toronto, June Robustness Agent
Mcdonald, for the striking employees,
stated during the morning that after
a conference of twelve hours with the
officers of the street railway company
the question of wages and recognition
of the union had been practically set
tied. President Ames of the board of
trade is authority for the statement
that the strike is about settled.
The street railway made no attempt
to run it's cars during the morning.
About 1000 militia men arrived here
during the early morning from the an
nuaI encampment at Niagara-o n-the-
Lake and are quartered at the ar
mories. A prolonged conference be-
tween the officials of the company and
the board of trade committee was
held during the night. In the morning
Manager Heating of the street railway
company said:
There is a possibility of settle
nent. That is all / can say. The
strike is not yet over"
He added that as soon as his COM
pany was given protection they would
begin running cars.

NO RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH
CUBA CAN BE SUBMITTED
THIS SESSION.
RATIFICATION NOT PROBABLE

Administration Places Little Conf.
dence in the Claim of Senate Man.
ayers That a Two-third Vote Could
Be Secured for the Convention Even
If One Is Drawn-Test May Be Made
During the Next Session.
Washington, June 24.-It has been
determined that no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba can be submitted at the
present session of congress. It was at
6rst planned that, in the event of the
failure of the administration man.
ayers in the senate to secure favorable
action on the Cuban sugar bill, a
treaty would be drafted at once. This
was on the understanding that Senior
Quesada, the Cuban minister here, had
full powers, and that treaty could be
drawn in Washington entirely. It is
stated now, however, that this cannot
be done and that any draft of treaty
must 60 to{iavana and be returned be-
fore it can be submitted to the SEN
ate. This, of course, cannot be &C.
complished in the short space of time
intervening before adjournment, if the
estimates of the leaders that congress
will adjourn by July are correct.
No confidence is felt in administra-
ton circles as to the ability of the SEN
ate managers to secure the ratification
of treaty, even if one is drawn, and
while the president may feel called
upon to put the matter to test it will
be rather with the idea of demonstrate
ing his own purpose to do everything
possible for Cuba than in any eXpecta-
ton that a two-third vote for ratifica.
ton could be secured.

SHEKILLEDM
JANE TOPPAN, THE BARNSTABLE
(MAss.) NURSE, MAKES A
CONFESSION,
GUILTY OF NUMEROUS CRIMES

the Death OF Thirty-one Persons,
All of Whom Were Patients She Was
Nursing at the Time.
Boston, June 25.-Suspected of the
death of eleven persons, but indicted
Tor numbering only three, Miss Jane
Toppan, who was declared insane Mon.
day, has confessed that she has killed
during her career as a professional
nurse no less than thirty-one human
beings. This statement was made to
Judge Fred M. Bixby of Brocton, senior
counsel at the trial at Barnstable
when Miss Toppan was found not
guilty by reason of insanity on the
charge of numbering Mrs. Mary D.
Gibbs. Judge Bixby said also that
Miss Toppan had admitted that she
had set fires and committed other seri-
Gus acts. She said she could not help
committing the crimes. She argued
moreover, that she was not insane.
She said she knew she was doing
wrong when she administered poison
20 her victims and she asked Judge
Bixby how, under such circumstances,
she could be of unsound mind.
Morphine was Miss Toppan's agency
for producing death. Many of her vic
TINS were unsuspecting and most in
innate friends; others were the pa
tients of reputable physicians who en-
ployed her on account of her ability as
nurse. Miss Toppan was so expert
in her knowledge of how to employ
drugs and poisons that she was able to
escape detection for years.
In the detailed story as told to Judge
Bixby Miss Toppan did not enumerate
her many victims, although she did adj
nit the killing of Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs.
Harry Gordon of Chicago and Alden P.
Davis, all of whom died at Cataumet
last summer. Miss Toppan was in
dicted last December for these three
murders, the state electing to try her
on the Gibbs count first. Miss Toppan
was taken to the Taunton insane hos
pital during the day to begin her life
sentence.
