The Colored Cook of the Minnesota
Training Table Summarily Fired
r. for "Disloyalty."
Won $50 on the Nebraska Game and
Was Laying Odds on Wisconsin
-. to Win Saturday.
Cooked for Minnesota at Madison
When Defeat Occurred-Board
of Control Acts.

"Disloyalty'' is the charge brought
against the colored chef who has been
cooking the food for the Minnesota foot
ball teams training table.
Last night the university athletic board
of control held a quiet meeting and was
furnished with information which speedily
resulted In the dismissal Of the cook who
has served the varsity team for two years.
1t was charged that he had won $50 on
Nebraska's victory over Minnesota, and
that more recently he had been backing
Wisconsin,, even going far as to offer
odds against Minnesota.
The cook has been implicitly trusted
during his connection with the Minnesota
training table. Last year, to insure
against "doping' or any improper food,
he was taken to Madison and looked after
the Minnesota teams cuisine before the
big game which ended SO disastrously for
the gophers.
When information of the cooks bets on
Nebraska and Wisconsin was laid before
the board last evening, the members did
not push the inquiry into any other posi-
bilities growing out Of his attitude, but
based his dismissal upon the ground of
disloyalty alone.

SHORT OF AMMUNITION
Why the Venezuelan Revolutionists
Are on the Dead
Run,

Caracas, Venezuela, Nov 13.-The Off
cial Gazette yesterday published presi-
Dental decree establishing Caracas as
the capital of the republic and as the seat
of executive power. The disbanding of the
revolutionary forces continues.
1t has just become known that during
the night of Nov. the government forces
having discovered that the revolutionists
were short of ammunition, attacked them
at midnight in their stronghold near San
Mateo, precipitating the retreat which the
revolutionary leaders had planned for the
same morning.
The latest news regarding the where
abouts Of General Matos, leader Of the rev.
olution, is that he was recently near Mir
qua, three days march from Tucacat on
the Atlantic, the only place from which it
is possible for him to flee from Venezuela.
Matos was accompanied by Generals Men
doza Rera, Solagnie, Crespo, Torres, and
others. In all they had sixty horses. The
government forces have captured Matos
hammock, cap and slippers and letters
which gave a clue to the connection OF
Matos with the Mochist party.

MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN EDITORS

A Poll OF the Thought MoIders Made by
Chicago Paper
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Nov. 13.-The Tribune this
morning published the following:
The combined poll of the editors of
Michigan and Wisconsin shows FREEDOM
nence of sentiment in favor of Joseph
G. Cannon of Illinois for speaker of the
next house.
In response to requests from the Trib-
une, LAG editors in the two states have
gone on record on the subject. OF this
total So editors declare outright for Can
non and IA more declare for him for sec
ond choice. Babcock is the choice of Al
in both states.
In Michigan A. editors declare straight
for Cannon and William Alden Smith is
second with II. Babcock of Wisconsin
is the choice of two in that state, while
six are scattering.
In Babcock's own state SO editors were
heard from, and of these, 45 are for Bah
cock and IA are for Cannon, with IA 9TH
ers naming him for second place. The
remaining suggestions in Wisconsin are
J. J. Jenkins, Wisconsin, 2; Cooper Wis
consin, 1; Littlef1eld, Maine, /, and di-
vided, 6.
Both Cannon and Babcock are paid
high compliments by the editors, and the
only difficulty that seems to confront
them Is in deciding which man possesses
the greater number of high qualities. Lo-
cal pride and state loyalty figure largely
in the expressions for Babcock. "

A CANDIDATE OF ITS OWN
Seventh District Men Inclined to
Support Haugland of Chip,

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Willmar, MIMI, Nov. 13.-Babcock of
Wadena was not considered as candi-
date for speaker Of the Minnesota house
by members elect Of the legislature from
the seventh congressional district, who
had a meeting here last night. Instead,
it was the consensus that the seventh
ought to have candidate of it's own, and
Haugund Of Cheppewa appeared to be the
favorite for the position.
The meeting was purely informal and
was attended by only six of the members
elect-Gandrud Of Kandiyohi Stone Of
Stevens, Haugland Of Chippewa, Wichman
of Renville, Ofsthun Of Pope and Benson
Of Big Stone.
A committee was appointed to canvass
the situation fully and arrange for an
other meeting in st. Paul. Upon this
committee were placed Messrs. Gandrud,
Benson and Ofsthun.
Julius Schmahl of Redwood Falls was
spoken of for chief clerk and can I'M
doubtedly command some strength in the
district.
Morley Candidate.
J. R. Morley of Owatonna, one of the
old members Of the last house who was

announced himself candidate for speak

MERCER FOR CLERK

The Omaha Congressman May Drop Into
Good Place.
From. Tho Journal Bureau, Rse~s Is, Poet
Building, WasNifOtosa.
Washington. Nov. 13.-There is consid-
cradle talk in the east about Congressman
Mercer Of Omaha, who was defeated for
election to the fifty eighth congress,
as a suitable candidate for clerk of the
house. The salary attached to that office
is S., 900, and it is one of the most COM
Portable berths at the capitol. It is now
occupied by Alexander Mcdowell of Penn
sylvania. MERGERS candidacy is said to
hinge upon the fate of Representative
Dalzell, who wants to be speaker. Penn
sylvania cannot possibly have both the
speaker and the clerk, and thus it would
appear that the Dalzell candidacy is not
likely to be regarded with favor by the
friends Of Mcdowell. Dalzell is anti
Quay, while Mcdowell Is part of the
Quay machine. The Dalzell candidacy.
therefore, is promising someplively deveI-
opments in Pennsylvania politics. should
it become formidable.

1T is too early to speak definitely about
1904" was the reply. "A good many
things may happen between now and then
to change my present intentions. I sim
ply content myself with saying that my
defeat has not retired me from politics,
and that shall continue to take an active
interest in it so long as my health per-
mits."
Speaking Of the campaign which re-
suited in his defeat, he said:
II am not sore, am not angry with
any one. Mr.. Lind Is a good citizen, an
able man, and will do the best he can to
represent the district properly. I make
no complaint and have taken my medicine
without making face about it. During
the short session shall struggle to perfect
several bills for the Minneapolis district
and shall turn over my work in good con-
dition to my successor. l am sorry an
not to be in congress when the next river
and harbor bill is passed. More money is
needed for the locks and dams, for the
reservoir and upper river, and for Fort
Smelling. It will have to come after the
expiration of my term. expect the Lon
don dock bill will pass in the short SEES
sion. The speaker, I understand, will
permit it to come UP. There Is no reason
why it should not have passed last SEES
sion I am also hopeful for the depart
ment of commerce bill. AS soon as the
details of this bill are perfected the house
will probably pass it. There Is no op.
position in either house to the bill as g

Washington, Nov. 13.-The Illinois SEN
atorial situation has cleared somewhat
since the election, and shows Senator Ma
son with a fighting chance to win-just a
chance. He has elected a bunch Of repub-
lican members who will stand by him
through thick and thin, who will be able
to prevent the election of and caucus
nominee save himself. In the deadlock
which is expected to develop in the legis-
lature, Mason hopes either to secure his
own election eventually, or name the
winner. In the latter event, it will not
be Hopkins, but will be some man from
Chicago. Hopkins lives in Aurora which
is not part Of Chicago, although close
to it. For many years one Illinois sena-
tor has come from the city and the other
from the state outside. This precedent
Mason declares shall not be broken this
time He lives In the city, and in the
breakup will throw his strength to city
man. The Hopkins people realize that
Mason has more strength than they had
supposed he would get.

makes Highway robbery committed by
three or more persons a capital offense.
The conviction does not require proof

INDEPENDENT

Of more than four months. The short ses-
sion lasts but three months and a few
days. 1t is broken by the holidays, which
usually lead to an adjournment OF ten
days or two weeks. Thereafter Doth the
senate and house are pushed to the ut
most limits Of endurance to act on the
great appropriation bills. -
1t is not difficult to pass during the
short session legislation about which there
is no controversy. Two years ago the
war tax act was amended by extensive
reductions in certain schedules during the
short session, but as the members OF both
parties wore in favor of the legisla ton,
it really coupled little Of the time of the
session. It will be recalled that the rivers
and harbors appropriation bill failed be-
cause the session expired at noon March
| A. 1901.
| A few members of either or both houses
who desired to prevent the adoption OF
amendments to the Dingley act could do
| so with little trouble or exert1on. This
fact is recognized by veteran members
| of congress- and it Is the consensus OF
opinion in Washington that II the repuo-
lican party is disposed to revise the TAR
if, it will have to do so either during
special session Of the f1fty-eighth con-
gress or during the long session. which
begins one year from next December.
| General Grosvenor says, with the air OF
an oracle and prophet that I'VE Will then
knock off work until the following SEES
sion," meaning that when the fifty sew
enth congress expires there will be no
session until December, 1908.
II Is known that President Roosevelt Is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF calling the
fifty-elght congress IN special SESSION
soon after the expiration OF the presen,
1 congress. The president is satisfied thai
none of the reforms which he has been ad-
vocating, including antitrust Legislation
and tariff revision. can be successfully
worked out during the coming short ses
sion. The president Is equally satisfied
that the republican party must redeem the

ously handicapped. @ .-,-r
The president expects that his plan. o.
calling a special session will be violently
opposed by many leaders Of the republican
party in congress. He expects, moreover
that these same leaders will eventually Op
pose the reforms which he will suggest t:
| them. .5g @a
Nevertheless the president is gofns :,
put the resi- onsibility on them. He il
going to demand that they in their capaci
ties as representatives Of the party redeem
the pledges which were made to the peopl
and which the people accepted in goot
faith.
The president appreciates that he has {
delicate task to perform He has alrend!
received plenty OF evidence indicating tina
the party leaders in congress are disposed
to trust to luck and time to work out TIL

Washington, Nov. 13.-Secretary Hay

is read the government will take up the
