PRESIDENT VETOES
NEW BUILDING PLAN
VIe1oS Of Mr.. RooSeueH

President Roosevelt believes
that the Offices of the Chief
Magistrate Of the United
States shonld be kept separate
from those of any of the 9th
or departments of the Govern
ment. If there is TO be proyis-
ion for additional accOmmOda-
tiOns for the Presidential bust
ness offices, he thinks they
should either be placed in a
separate building or the pres
ent White House should be en-
larged.

begun by the United States; that il will
discuss later with the United States the
title TO the Isle OF Pines: and that 1t will
sell OF lease to the United states lands
necessary for coaling or naval stations at
certain specified points.
Some Delay Is Expected.
It is expected that it will be several
months after the establishment OF the new
Republic before this important work can
be completed, and in the meantime the
United States forces will remain on the
island. They will, however, take no active
part in affairs beyond assisting. when
necessary. in the preservation Of peace
and order. Not until the treaty based
upon the Platt amendment has been ne
gOtiated and ratified will the United
States withdraw its soldiers. leaving only
enough men to properly care for and
guard the naval stations secured.
In view OF the fact that the Congress Of
the United States viii probably adjourn
in June. not TO meet again until next De
cember, and that during the recess Of the
American Congress the Cuban congress
will be at work framing the treaty with
the United States, it follows that the
American troops may not be entirely
withdrawn from the island until early in
1903. There are now between five and six
thousand United States soldiers in Cuba
1t is not expected that all OF these viii
be retained there until next year. but at
least $500 Of them. it is believed, viii
be there next New Year Day.
Considered BY the Cabinet.
The Cuban question occupied nearly the
entire time Of the Cabinet meeting today.
the details Of the transfer OF the island
to the new government being considered
at great length. II is the desire OF the
Administration 30 provide as fully as pos
sibIe for the absolute and complete turn
ing over Of the government as soon as the
Cuban flag is raised.
President Palma viii hold a conference
on this point with Secretary Root this af-
ternoon- General Wood VIII probably

DR.. Charlton states there Is mi

suffering from severe forms OF scar
let fever known as the streptococcus.
It is not the exciting cause of the
disease, and is not present in the
light cases, but it seems to lead to
secondary infection when once the
disease has been contracted, and to
be largely responsible for the high
fever, the suppuration of the ear and
other dangerous symptoms associated
with the complaint.
This organism DR.. Charlton has
combated with serum prepared un-
der the direction of DR.. Hubert, of
Detroit, and it's success may be
judged by the fact that of IS severe

Nov. 10th. Election passed off
very quietly here Of course you
have seen that this town went
Democratic. Why should it not,
when we were promised by a certain
Thief River Falls man few days
before election that if several towns
in this county north of that town
went Democratic that J. J. Hill
would extend the rail road from
Thief River Falls north to the bound
airy line next season? OF course
most all the voters believed that
man told the truth, as far as he
knew! I never heard such rot
before for electioneering purposes.
If there had been anything in it,
Thief River Falls would have sent
out 20 men to fight against it, for it
can be safely said that they do not
wish the railroad to go any farther
north. It beats the Marsh Grove
railroad at our county seat fight!

looks as though it had frozen up for

TRYING 70 GET a FIGHT
Between Two Big Bruisers at the
Charleston Exposition.

The Columbia State says a telegram
was received in Columbia on Friday
announcing that Fitzsimmons had
accepted the offer of the Charleston
club to fight Julfries, the big champion
heavyweight, in Charleston at the
exposition. This was all that was
known of the matter until Friday
night. Though there was some talk
about the matter last week, it was
thought that the incident had closed,
but few having any idea that the big
fellows would accept the offer of 10
per cent. of the gross receipts and a
guaranteed purse of $4,000.
Naturally Gov. McSweeney was
Immediately asked what his attitude
was in the matter, he representing
the government OF South Carolina.
The Governor expressed himself plain
ly, saying, however. that he had given
the matter no thought, and had not
looked into the law on the subject,
and, further, that he would not do so
until the thing came plainly before
him in an official way. I will say,
however" remarked the governor,
that if this contest is contrary to the
laws of the State, l shall use the entire
machinery of the State to stop it."
The governor declined to speak fur
ther of the proposed contest.
NO doubt the matter will be very
generally discussed in the State in the
next few nays. This State has strict
law in regard to ''prize fights and
''prize fighting" providing a penalty
of 5000 fine or six months impriSon-
ment upon conviction, and applies
not only to those engaging in the
prize fight, but to those who make
the offer inducing men to engage in a
prize fight, whether they be individu-
ais or clubs. The whole thing seems
to involve simply the question as to
what constitutes prize light. Inc
club that made the offer to Fitzsim-
mons and Jeffries did so for a boxing
ing exhibition" and maintained that
there is no law in this State to pre-
vent such an exhibition. The matter
is full of possibilities. At the same
time it is Very certain that if the
concest can be pulled off at the exposl-
tion it will prove a great drawing
card. Many will await further de-
velopmentS with keen interest" The
Exposition company had better be
careful. The prize fight might do
more harm than good in a financial
way

Goes Up for Five Years.

The case Of Williamson came toan
end at Greenwood on Friday morning
by his conviction and sentence to the
penetentiary at hard labor for five
wears. This case has attracted much
attention. Great crowds attended
the trial and it has been the subject
of conversation during the whole
week. The crime was committed some
two months ago. Williamson met
Wertz in the road and with the aid Of
two negroes, Charley Snow and
Anthony Reeder, whipped him almost
to death. 1t was said by Williamson
that he had great provocation for the
deed and also he denied that he
had any help in whipping Wertz. 1t
was proved by eye witnesses, however,
that the two negroes did help. One
Of the negroes was sentenced to the
penetentiary for five years too, and
the other was convicted Of simple as
sault and battery. Williamson is a
well-tO-do-farmer.
