The Break.

The Break.
The break came quickly. Brown county
went first, with IL for Pidgeon. Lac qui
Parle got even with Ramsey by going solid
for Pidgeon. Blue Earth gave him 20
and Rock 10. Fillmore announced 20
votes for Reese, but this was only gain
of 2. Mike Bowling tried to rescue Reese
by changing Renvil1e from Gish. to Is for
Reese and / for Everett.
1t was too late. The Halden men took
their revenge pext. Itasca changed her
8 votes to Pidgeon, and Senator Daugh-
erty changed the 40 votes OF St. Louis
county from Everett to Pidgeon.
There was an uproar in Hennepin.

Sherman Smith hustled hard to stem the
tide, giving color to the story that they

The country delegates had Reese near
the bank. Duluth and Minneapolis gave
him the gaff. Tim Sheehan threw up the
sponge, and Reese came to the platform.
He said: 4% ~
I desire to most cordially thank my friends
in this convention for the vote they have
given me, and to say that, from now until
the forefront of the battle, fighting for every
man on the ticket. / also wish to thank my
opponents in this fight for the gentlemanly
campaign they have made against me.
G. F. Staples was next nominated by
acclamation for railroad commissioner, on
motion Of D. W. Meeker Of Moorhead.
Hennepin's Part in Program.
This finished the ticket. Hennepin had
acquitted herself with credit. By divid-
ing her vote in six parts she had done
! nothing to nominate Iverson, it is true,
but this did away with the argument as
far as Minneapolis was concerned, that
the cities beat Jacobson. It was the
country vote that nominated Sam Iverson.
As far as the clerk was concerned, Hen
nepin could claim credit in large meas
ure for Pidgeon's nomination. st. Louis
county did not get place on the ticket,
but got sweet revenge against Ramsey for
her treatment of Halden. The result is
| that no: only the second, but the fourth
congressional district, has no elective
state Office or place on the ticket.
Convention Notes.

and did not forget word for himself. Speak

in complimentary fashion to Judge Morris,

This is the ticket for which Minnesota
republicans will vote next November. IL
gives general satisfaction. Inc couven-
tion which named it was devold OF Dlt-
terness, and the defeated candldates nave
little to complain of.
The delegates saw the circus paraoe
Yesterday morning, and they fell In love
with the band wagon. 1t was pressed
into service twice. Close contests were
expected on auditor and clerk, but III
each case. delegates rushed for the wagon
before the result of the ballot could De
announced, and made the vote unanimous.
The rush for c. A. Pidgeon was unique
in convention history. When the roll call
was finished Oar Reese actually led the
field, with 379 votes. while Pidgeon had
1862, Everett 2e6, and Gish 11s. No one
stopped to count up. Reese's small vote
made his defeat sure, and Pidgeon was the
man to beat him. The Halden men had
voted for Everett, but swung to Pldgeon
and Hennepin, which had split up It's vote
in four equal parts, threw all but twenty
two to Pidgeon. In an instant twenty
men were on their feet, demanding recog-
milton. But Chairman Wyman's atten-
tion was irresistibly attracted by the tall
form of "Silver Fox Sheehan, who
jumped upon a chair and on behalf Of
Ramsey county, moved to make it unani-
nous. At the time the motion was made
Pidgeon did not have a majority of the
votes, but nothing could have stopped
him, and Ramsey did the graceful thing.
jacobson Beaten Early.
Jacobson was a beaten man yesterday
morning, and knew it. The Bert Miller
bomb and the story of Halden's with
drawal were expiring cries. The day be-
fore the chances of Jacobson looked even
with those of Iverson, but over night a
great change came. The HaIden men saw
their man had nos show, and the Duluth
men really stacked the deck from which
Iverson was dealt the winning hand 1t
was ''anything to beat Jake" and before

SCHOOL AGITATION LULLS.

Government Adopts "a More Moderate
Movement in Paris.
Paris, July 29.-The agitation in con-
nection with the circular issued by
Premier Combes with regard to the
closing of the unauthorized congrega-
ZIONIST schools has considerably abat-
ed, even in Britanny, owing to the cir
cumstances that none of the recalci-
trant schools will be forcibly closed
until special DEGREES to this end have
been signed for each department. In
many departments such action VIII not
be necessary as the congregations have
submitted and moreover the decision
of the government not to close those
schools for which authorization was
not asked, owing to misinterpretation
of the law, has had something of a
quoting effect.
The leaders of the agitation still
talk of organizing popular protests;
but the life seems to be out of the
movement, so far as Paris is concern
ed. Here the Socialists have deter
mined upon counter Recommendations to
every clerical meeting.
Some disturbances in the provinces,
especially in Finisterre. are probable,
when the ponce close the Scnools, out
there is evidently a lull in the excite
ment for the moment.
The only incident reported to-day
was that group of women at Rodez
in the department of Averyron, at
tackled lay teacher and compelled
him to take refuge in the communal
school. The teacher was followed by
a crowd shouting:
Down with Combes!"
The arrival of gendarmes prevented
further mischief.

Berlin. July 29.-The marriage of
Privy Councillor Loehning to the
daughter of a former sergeant in the
German army has caused Herr Loeb
ning's compulsory retirement from the
chief dictatorship of taxes for the
province of Posen.
Herr Loehning, who was also finance
councillor, and who is a man of wealth.
has been circulating a pamphlet among
his friends explaining his acceptance
of pension July at the
instance of Herr Won Rheinbaben
the Prussian Minister of Finance. The
publication of this pamphlet in to-days
papers has caused considerable COM
ment, both socially and politically, be-
cause Herr Loehning, as high official
having first hand knowledge of the
Prussian administration of Posen, dis
approves of several features of the
ministry's Polish policy. In this pam
phlet Herr Loehning relates that after
an interchange of communications be-
tween Berlin and the highest admins
trative official of the province of Posen,
the ober president of Posen told him
he had nothing to say against his A.
nance, but that 1t was impossible for
him to consent to the marriage of one
OF the highest officials of the province
with daughter of an ex-sergeant;
that IL was as though the colonel of a
regiment proposed to do such a thing.
A ministerial councillor or a superior
government councillor might possibly
marry sergeant's daughter, but a
pfivy and finance councillor could not.
Some weeks after his marriage the
finance ministery at Berlin asked Herr
Loehning to retire, which he did. Loeb
ming affirms that his opinions In the
matter of the ministry's Polish policy
had nothing to do with his retirement
from Office, but Notwithstanding this,
II is believed these opinions did have
something to do with the councillors
retirement.

A FEATHER IN CLAYToNs CAP.
Mexican Anrbassndor Secures Resti-
tuition of Large sum for American
and English Investors.

Washington, July 29.-United States
Ambassador CLAYTON. at Mexico. has
succeeded in securing restitution in one
of the largest embezzlement cases be-
fore the Mexican State Department.
Some time ago James Brown Potter.
representing large American and Eng
lish interests IN the Tiahaulilo Mining
Company of Mexico, appealed to the
State Department for justice, claim
ing that by a fraudulent conspiracy
some of the directors of the company
had embezzled funds to the amount of
over 100000. This, it was charged.
was accomplished by packed
elections, and the bestowal
of illegal powers upon one of
directors in the company. The fact
that some inferior Mexican officials
were involved in the conspiracy made
it almost impossible to obtain justice
by the ordinary methods.
The State Department referred the
case to Ambassador Clayton. and he
brought it to the attention of the Mex
lean government and pressed Ut so Wig
orously that he is now able to report
that the conspirators have been Obliged
to disgorge all of the money and secu-
rites they had obtained by their fraud
ulent operation.

Judge kelIcr's Injunction shuts Ont
Miners From Town of Ansted,
Where Most of Them Live.

Charleston, w. Va, July 29.-It has
developed that if the injunction as is
sued by Judge Keller in the suit of
the Gauley Mountain Coal Company is
enforced strictly, it will prevent the
strikers from going into the incorpo-
rated town of Ansted in this state. The
bill of the compliments set up that
nearly all the employees of the COM
pany live in the town of Ansted, which
town is located on the property of the
company, and that the municipal au-
thorities are unable to cope with the
defendants, Wilson, Mother" Jones,
Purcell and others, and are unable to
protect the property of the company
or the persons or safety of the en-
ployes, and that the police have been
openly defied. The injunction of the
court prohibits the defendants. their
agents, associates, etc, from going on
the property of the company, or camp
ing or marching on it. so it includes
most of this municipal corporation. At
the governors office it is said no APP
peal has been made from Ansted for

Dallas, Tex. July 29.-Although the
flood situation in the northwestern sec

ditional heavy rains have fallen in the
southern and central portions of the
state, which have crippled railway
age to other property. From Baird,
west on the Texas and Pacific, the
weather is clear but from the coast
to Texarkana, west to Baird and south
to and beyond San Antonio, there were
frequent downpours to-day. These
rains have materially softened the
roadbeds and in many places the wa

Last Years Platforms. with Trust
Plank, to BE 3ennIrmed.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 29.-The
withdrawal of Lafayette Young of
Des Moines this evening as a candi-
date for member of the Committee on
Resolutions from the Seventh district,
is generally regarded as ending the OPP
position to the reaffirmation of last
years platform by the Republican
state convention here tomorrow. Mr..
Young's decision was announced after
a caucus of Polk county delegation.
The objection which had been made
to the reaffirma ton of last years plat
form was directed almost entirely to
the clause in the trust plank, declar-
ing for any modification of the tariff
schedules that may be required to pre-
vent their affording shelter to monop-
oily.
1t was held by some that the clause
was virtually admission Of the Dem
ocratic claim that the tariff fosters

A LIBERAL VICTORY.
Noiah bnrran Succeeds to Vacancy
From North Leeds.

From North Leeds.
London. July 29.-The bye-election
for member of the House of Commons
TO represent North Leeds resulted in
the election of Nolan Barran, Liberal.
MT. Barran received 1889 to 6,7S1
cast Tor Sir Arthur Lawson,
conservative. The seat was made
vacant by the elevation to the peerage
OF William L. Jackson, Conservative,
who had sat for North Leeds since
1880.
BalfOur's Supporters Dismayed.
London, July 3O.-The loss of the
seat for North Leeds in the House of
commons has filled the supporters of
the new Balfour administration with
dismay. The utmost ingenuity of the
editorial writer's of the Conservative
press is quite Intellectual in explaining
away the conversion of the Tory ma
Jority of 2517 in 19O0,' into a Liberal
majority of 1853.
The Morning Post, which is the
frankest Conservative critic of the
government, admits candidly that out
side of the Birmingham area, which
1t says is a Chamberlainite preserve,
there is seemingly no one whose 10y
atty the government can absolutely
rely On.
The Liberal papers this morning
concur in the opinion that the grain
tax and the education bill won them
the North Leeds seat, the election hav-
ing been fought on these two points.
The result was received with great
jubilation in the House of Commons,
the members crowding to congratulate
Herbert Gladstone, the Liberal whip.
1t is expected one result of the cleo
ton will be that Mr.. Balfour, the pre-
mier will, as far as possible, avoid
making changes in the cabinet involv-
ing more bye-elections, Gerald Bal
tours seat, among others, being con-
sidered rather unsafe.
Liberals Make Another Gain.
Another incident which is adding to
Conservative discontinue is the deci-
sion of Judge Cathcart WATSON, Lib
eral Unionist member, to rejoin the
Liberal party. Mr.. Wason says he
supported the government during the
war, but that he is now so dissatis-
fed with the governments policy in
the matters of army reform education
and Irish land questions that he can
not longer support it.
