to edit and translate a lot Of literature for
the Swedish and Norwegian papers of the
state. The Swedish editors naturally took
exceptions to this arrangement, as did the
Norwegian editors. It was pointed, out
that the Sdewish people ought to be per-
mitted to translate into their own Ian
guage and the Norwegians into theirs.
They did not want Dane doing this work
for them. 1t took a. lot Of hard work to
strsighten out the tang1e, and several
trips to Chicago by state campaign leaders
as soon as Senator Hanna got hold of the
affair, he promptly repudiated Kron's
methods, which he said were not at all in
harmony with the plans Of the national
committee.
Sought Office in Vain.
For months after the Inauguration Of
Mckinley, Kron loafed around Washing
ton, candidate for appointment as min
lister to some foreign country. He ap-
preached Senator's Lodge, Plat of Con-
necticut and other members from the New
England states, to whom he told glowing
tales about his work for Mckinley and his
great influence among the Scandinavian
peoples. These senators finally referred
him to Senator Nelson Of Minnesota.
Come back to us with Senator Nelson's
Endorsement" said these. gentlemen in
effect, land we will then talk with you
further Without quoting Senator Mel
son, may say that he did not take kindly
to Gron or the Gron candidacy, and that
the interview between them was brief and
strictly to the point Kron did not secure
the Endorsement of the Minnesota senator,
nor did he get an appointment.
More Guessing. on Eddy.
The talk that Representative Eddy Of
Minnesota will not again be candidate
for congress continues to be heard in
Washington, but after diligent inquiry I
am satisfied that there is nothing tangible
back of it. At the best, it is guess 1t
is perhaps probable that Mr.. Eddy may
not care to run again, and that he mas
made business arrangements with the
Clergue syndicate, or some other COM
pany to be its permanent representative
abroad But no word to that effect has
come to him. or from anybody represent
ing him. These stories no,doubt o1glnate
in the knowledge that his going away has
'unfavorably affected hisfTchances in the
new seventh district, ana that he may not
care to run again after he comes nome
and looks over the ground. 1t is the pc
lief of considerable number Of members
of the Minnesota colony that he will not
run again; but none of them knows any
| thing about it. MI. Eddy has not been
heard from for several weeks. 1t is as
sumed that he will return to Washington
| the latter part of this week, or early next
| week. His leave of absence will expire
| to-day.
little Chance for GoOdnow.
| With the announcement, semi official,
that Minister Conger has been notified
that his resignation would be accepted
at the White House, interest is revived
in the question Of who will probably sue
coed him, and the name of John Good
now, consul general at Shanghai, is on
the tongues Of many we'll informed peo-
pie. He chances, however, are believed
| to be rather against Mr., Goodnow's Sc
lection If President Mckinley were alive
! it is practically sure that Goodnow would
be honored in the manner referred to
| but it is believed by the politicians that
President Roosevelt did not send the no.
tice of resignation to- Minister Congel
successor. And this somebody, undoubt.
eddy, is personal friend of the presi-
dents, Just as Goodnow was the persona
friend of Mckinley. Notwithstanding
this impression, however, it is said to b.
the intention of some of Mr., Goodnow'
friends. in public life, to lay his case be.
fore the president shortly, with the
mmendation that he be given the
Conger post.
