OFFICERS OF GUARD.

Meet at st. Paul for Their 23d
Annual Session.
Distinctive Dress Uniform for
Gopher Guardsmen Among the
Suggestions Considered.

Officers of the Minnesota National
Guard met in twenty third annual session
at room 16 in the state capitol, st. Paul.
this morning. There was an unusually
large attendance, the country districts be-
ing especially well represented.
Major George c. LAMBERT chairman of
the committee on legislation, read his
report, and it was made a special order for
the afternoon session. He outlined the
work of the committee for the last year
and told Of legislation enacted. He pre-
dicted the passage Of the Dick bill by con-
gress early. next month ard stated that
as amended it was perfectly satisfactory
to the national guards of the United
States.
convention tndOrse a bill before congress
to provide for a bureau Of militia in the
war department, as it will greatly en-
courage and assist legislation. ~ Is ~
The committee reported that the annual
appropriation was inadequate and recon,-
mended that an appropriation Of $4,000 for
the camp grounds at Lake City be re-
quested Of the legislature. Wisconsin APP
propriates nearly twice as much annually
as Minnesota, and there are many i'm
provements that an Increased appropria-
| ton would give to the national guard. He
suggested that an increased appropriation
would allow the state to seEd a rifle team
to Illinois to recover the Washburn trophy

the past eleven years without a challenge
It is also desired to hold camps for ad-
| Vanced rifle practice. y - .[,.'L

Julius Bergson. a baker residing in
South Minneapolis, has hit upon a new
way to get money and as result has
written to the commissioner at Wash
ington, D. c., asking him to see the late
President Mckinley and President Roose-
welt and secure from each $50 to help him
pay doctor bill of $10O. The letter was
forwarded to the police of this city and
Bergson was taken into custody 1t de-
velops that the man is mentally unbal-
fanced but is not dangerous and he will
not be prosecuted. -, s55zi,.5, u sg5sfe
THE letter, in which Bergson made the
demand for the money, is something of a
curiosity There is scarcely a word that
is not mispelled and the chirography would
puzzle an expert. 1t was, addressed to
'"The commissioner. White House. Wash
Detective Thomas Gallagher took charge
of the case and wrote a letter to the man,
directed to the general delivery and made
an disappointment to meet him at the post
office. Bergson appeared expecting to re-
ceive- the. money, but was greatly surprised
when, he was arrested. E5
He was set free after an examination
and it is not likely that proceedings Ill

His Summary Measures in Preventing
Interference TO Commerce.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The navy de-

McCrea, of the Machias. mail report
under date of Cape Haytien. August
16, setting out in detail the steps taken
10y that officer to prevent interference
with the worlds commerce as result
af the bitter insurrectionary struggle
now in progress in Haytien waters.
McCrea was. from the nature of the
case, obliged to act without an oppor-
tunity to consul the navy or state de-
partments. but it is stated his vigorous
and effective measures are thoroughly
approved.
1t appears from the commanders
report that he took under his charge
the commerce of nearly all the Euro
Fpean countries. in addition to that of
his own His attitude toward Admiral
EISellick, insurgent commander, as re-
vealed i'm the report, is significant as in
dicating the adoption of a stronger pol

American revolutions which injuriously
affect the commerce of the world.
The German government expressed
officially it's appreciation of McCrea's
efforts in behalf of the empires inter-
ests in southern waters.
