BIG MONEY FOR THE STATE.

A Washington dispatch of yesterday
says tn It Judge H,nry s. Comstock,
special agent of the governor for the
prosecution of Wisconsin war claims
against the government, has prepared
bis official report. He hads the total
amount for which the state has made no
prior claim and for which it Aow asks
to be reimbursed to b. f43j 760 IS, this
being the aggregate of the cost. charges
and expenses properly incurred by tie
state at the request and for the benefit
of the United States in enrolling, cloth
ing, supplying, arming equipping, pay
ing and transporting the troops of Wis
consin who aided in suppressing the
war of the rebellion The report gives
some interesting history.
The affidavit of Gov. L. Toilette Is
attached to he report. The report also
includes copies Of the different acts APP
p opriating money to help carry on the
war and copy of Gov Alexander w.
Randall's proclamation, dated May 8,
1851, calling special session of the
legislature to provide more completely
for making the power of the Estate useful
to the government and other loyal states.
Wisconsin furnished the United
States 81, 3a7 men during the war of the
rebellion and incurred an expense Of
81. 059, 1862 03 for which it was reimburs
cd by the United States. But this REIN,
bursement included none of the expense
incurred by way of interest on the loans
and none of the discount suffered on the
sale of the bonds in providing the funds
out Of which these expenditures were
made.

LAW AND EQUITY POINTS

Judge Clementson recently decided a
somewhat novel case that may interest
readers who have occasi N to buy or sell
real estate DIR. Jameson of Lone Rock,
sold real estate in that village to w. y.
Garrison On the premises was large
store building and several thousand
shingles that had been placed beside the
building for the purpose of reshingling
the roof A short time after the
sale the grantor removed the shingles
and refused to replace them when re-
quested by the grantee. The grantee,
by hi attorneys, brought action against
DR. Jameson, for the value of the shing-
les on the ground that they were placed
Oh the premises with the intent and pur.
pose of reshingling the building. they
became appropriated to and were a part
Of the real estate. The court decided in
favor of the plaintiff -Richland Rustic

HONESTY IN OFFICIAL STATny

After making due deduction for the
element of self interest which dominates
the policies advocated by all politicians,
Gov. La Toilette stands today as close
TO the wishes AM needs of the people in
general as any man within the broad
confines Of the state. Honest, fearless.
able and impartial he can only be criti-
cized perhaps for too strenuous effort to
carry out the promises honestly made
to the people by the republican platform
upon which he was elected by the most
sweeping majority ever given an execu-
tive in Wise psin. And he should not
be blamed 70 the short comings of a
tardy and indifferent legislature. - Els

WAS THOROUGHLY ALIVE.
Admiral Taylor Is Said to Have Pre-
 dlcted the Crisis in 1907,

New York, August 4.-In a recent dis- patch from Washington, Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of naviga- ton. was credited with having given ex- pression to the ideas referred to in the message from Berlin In this Washing ton dispatch Rear Admiral Taylor was described as thoroughly alive to the steady set of a current which is carry ing the United States and Germany along eonverging lines in many parts of the globe and bringing these two nations in- to closer rivalry elsewhere.
 To Rear Admiral Taylor was given the credit of warning the leaders of the United States navy and army that pre- parations must begin at once and be vigorously prosecuted from this time forth for a grave crisis iri German-Amer- ieen relations in tho spring of 1907.
 The time of this crisis Is fixed coincident with the most efficient power Germany now contemplates; the time when the Panama canal will be occupying much attention in this country-when the Cuban republic may have about reached the end of It's tether; when Jamaica and other West Indian islands will be prostrate in bankruptcy when the Netherlands, &C., cording to Admiral Taylors predictions will have been absorbed by Germany. leaving Curacoa and the other Dutch islands of the Caribbean sea as bones of contention to force a supreme test of the Monroe doctrine.

Later the three guests were joined by Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, who made the fourth Guest at Luncheon.
 MT. Reid. who arrived from England on Saturday last, came to Oyster Bay to report personally to the President up- on his trip to England.
 Many Endorsements.
 President Roosevelt is being over whelmed with endorsements of candi- dates for the vacancy on the board of commissioners of the District of Column bia. Thus far he has intimated to no one whom he may appoint He is going over all the papers in the case. his desire be- ing to select a man whose appointment will command the general approval of the residents of Washington.

They discussed also the Philippine friars ques- ton, the President speaking freely and frankly of his attitude in the matter
 MT. Roosevelt is satisfied thoroughly that the Philippine friars have not the confidence of the natives. It is his wish therefore to have withdrawn from the archipelago the friars now there, to whom the people will pay no heed and to re- place them with good men--as many from America as possible-to whom the natives will listen and in whom they will have confidence.

HANNA GAINED BY
 STREET GAR MEN
Eight Hundred EmpIoyes Show
 Regard for Senator
MAKES INTERESTING TALK
Mir. Hanna Incidentally Refers to the Anthracite Strike and Says His Statement That Men Keep
 Their Word Is Proven.

Cleveland, O., August 4.-The seven or eight hundred employees of the Cleveland City Railroad company of which Sena- tor M. A. Hanna is president. met here tonight and presented Senator Hanna with a valuable cane.
 In acknowledging the gift Senator Han ma expressed his sincere thanks to his employees for their gift and incidently spoke on the relations he hopes to see exist between capital and labor. In part he said:
 'T cannot adequately express my feel ings on this occasion. It has been the one ambition of my life to merit the respect if not the effection of the men in my employ. I have been with labor ing men all my life and have been their employer for many years, and this night means something for me. for it brings with it the satisfaction of knowing that so large a number of men in my employ have been satisfied with my career as an employer.
 Your chairman has referred to the Civic federation. l say to you that were it not for my official position and my duties as a public servant I would de- vote more of my time to the policies on which that organization is founded.
 Cone srning the anthracite strike Sem ator Hanna said;
 When the great anthracite strike was threatening our federation worked hard for weeks to avert tito bring men and employers together, but failed. After 1t was on we worked hard to settle it, but failed. However in that matter it is my personal satisfaction to know that the statement that I made at the time that the men would not go back on neir word, has been kept, and that a sympathetic strike has been averted. I told the feder ation that there would be TO sympathetic strike among the bltuminous miners.
 T believe in manhood. Labor organ izations are nothing which can be sued for breach of contract They have no corporate existence. But I would rather have the promise of @ laboring man back ed only by his sense ofehonor and his manhood than any agreement which might be enforced by law.
 Manhood ard integrity are the same, whether they belong to a miner, street railway man or a boss. For my self. I have no higher ambition than to work for the purpose of bringing capital and labor nearer together and to live out my life in Cleveland, where l have lived for 51 wears.
