MINNESOTA NEWS.
Cheese Factories.

Eight new cheese factories will be
opened in various parts of Minnesota
during the coming spring months, asa
result of the agitation started among
the farmers of the state by the dairy
and food department to secure better
utilization of Minnesota's resources as
a cheese producing state.
The larger factories will be estab-
ished at LIE Sueur, ST. Thomas, Dodge
Center and Cannon Falls. Dodge coun-
ty is now the banner county of the
state for cheese production.
Another favorable indication for the
Minnesota cheese industry was the
winning of the first prize at the Mil
waulee cheese contest by Minnesota
cheese maker. Wisconsin has within
her borders about 500 cheese factories
and has always prided herself upon
the quality of her output, but, as in
the case of butter, Minnesota has
proved that she can turn out as good,
if not a better, product. The Mime
sofa full cream cheese compared favor
ably, it is said, with the best made in
the country, and our present factories
turn out good quality of cheddar and
brick as well.

MANUFACTURES.

Labor Commissioner O'Donnell is
sued a statement taken from the 1900
census report and the manufacturing
statistics gathered in Minnesota for
that year. A comparison is made with
similar figures for 1890, showing the
growth in manufactures for the decade.
The statement shows that while the
population increased 1878 per cent in
the ten years, and the number of man
ufacturing establishments increased
4S.1 per cent, the number of wage
earners in factories increased only 1877
per cent. This is attributed to the
vast immigration into farm lands. The
number of wage earners in 1890 was
9.79O, and in 1900 it was 1924. The
number of establishments was IL ia.
Of the total employed in 1900, there
were &c, $50 men, $3.50 women and 792
children.

POWER IN POLITICS.
Senator German of Maryland Is a
Born Leader of Men.
To His Followers There Is No Judg-

of a Dream Confirms This
Broad Statement.

During his career in the United
man, who has recently been reflect
ed to that body, took conspicuous
rank among national legislators.
Among his constituents in Maryland
Mr.. German was long known as 1.-The
Sphinx" and this title followed him
to the senate, where he was both
admired and feared.
DAY after day. said one of his
old colleagues, ''the grim Maryland
er would sit listening to heated de-
bate over some important measure.
Even if the proposed bill were
against the interests of his consti-
tuents he would not interrupt SEN
ators, either to ask questions or to
combat their arguments, nor would
he mingle in the conflict when his
fellow-opponents combined to fight
the measure. But when the whole
subject had been threshed over, and
the vote was about to be taken, Cor
man would break his ominous silence.
With calm and critical judgment he

This habit German had of reserv-

associate, finally made him for
midable figure in the senate. At first
his colleagues-some of them, at
1east-made the mistake of regard
ing his silence as an indication either
of Indifference or of inability to
grapple with the subject. The fact
that German had once been page
in the senate induced some of the
older members to regard him, early
in his senatorial career, with indif-
ference. But none of them made
the mistake more than once. I re-

National League Schedule Adopted
Season Opens April II and
Closes October 4.

New York, April 1.-THE committee
in charge of the playing schedule of
the National League of Baseball clubs
met at the Fifth Avenue hotel Friday
afternoon and made public the result
of their deliberations. The season
opens on April II and closes on Oc-
tobe1 4. The schedule consists of 40
games, each club playing ten games
with the other clubs on the home
grounds. Acting upon the resolution
adopted several months ago the mag
mates decided to send the eastern
clubs to the west first.
Two or three of the magnates were
asked concerning the reported 100000
fund that had been raised for the pur-
pose of fighting the American league.
While they would not admit that this
was the amount of the fund they
would not deny that such fund had
been raised, or rather pledged.
Philadelphia, April 7.-Lajoie, the
celebrated second baseman of the
Philadelphia American league club.
has refused an offer of a salary of
$1,000 year for three years made
him by an agent of the New York
National league club. The offer is
said to be in pursuance of the deci-
sion of the National league at it's
meeting in New York Thursday to
make raid on the American league
and induce its star players to desert
that organization.
Kansas City, Mo-, April 7. = The
magnates of the Western Baseball
league, after two days session,
completed the playing schedule Fri
day night. The season will open
April %, with these games: Kansas
City at Colorado Springs; st. Joseph
at Denver; Milwaukee at Omaha; Pc

TO INVITE PRINCE OF WALES.
New York Brokers Desire His Press
ence at Dedication of New Cham
Der of Commerce Building.

New York, April There is the
highest authority for the statement
that the chamber of commerce of New
York will invite the prince of Wales to
attend the dedication of it's new home
in August or September. Negotia-
lions of semi-official character have
been under way for the last two
months, but nothing definite will be
known until May or June.
AS matter of fact, no formal invi-
tation has yet been sent to the Prince
of Wales, in spite of statements to
the contrary, but it is not too much
to say at this time that such an invi-
tation will be forwarded with every
prospect of its acceptance.
Representatives of all the leading
commercial bodies of Europe will be
invited to attend the dedication which
promises to be an event of internation-
al importance.
