Progress In Korea.

The Korean emperor rides BIZ
cycle, the palace of Seoul is lighted
by electricity and furnished with
elevators, and the public officials
got away with public moneys last
year to the amount Of a couple Of
million yen. This led the Korean
prime minister to adopt a very sin
gular plan to stop the leaks Of the
treasury. The official whose embez-
Element foots up to more than 1000

The scene was in one of those
marble palaces that front one Of the

the two actors were a man and a

such singularity.

voice, soft, rhythmically ingenious
in its cadences and yet so subtly
blase-a woman's voice that # one

possible, from its varied strains Of
vibrations, to untangle the skein of

DON'T BET.

An important question il connection
with the primary election for the nomi-
nation of candidates has come up.
Monday a we'll known Duluth man
wagered a substantial sum with an
other at odds of one to two that he
could pick the first, second and third
candidates in the contest for sheriff.
The money was posted and then some
body said in a joking way, You fell
lows that have bet on the outcome will
lose your votes if anybody challenges
you"
Then followed an interesting discus
sion of whether a man loses his vote
at primary election by becoming one
of the principals to a wager on the re-
suit The News Tribune interviewed
several attorneys on the subject, among
them Judge Window and Senator c..
o. Baldwin, but none of them were will
ing to say positively whether a man
could legally vote after making bet
under the circumstances described.
The opinion prevailed, however, tkat
the man who makes a bet certainly
will lose his vote if he is challenged.
One lawyer said that the law which
prohibits a voter from casting a ballot
at an election upon the result of which
he has a wager, undoubtedly applies to
the nomination of candidates by an
election.

that some iron mine opel arors took this
stand, it appears that the steel cor
poration did not. w. ]. Olcott, manager
of mines for the steel corporation, was
shown the interview yesterday, and he
said that he knew nothing of any such
order and it was the first he had heard
of it. Inquiry develops that no such
orders have been issued by any of the
big mine operators on the Mesaba or
Vermilion ranges.
Mr.. Textbook appears to be making
his statements pretty strong. Here is
a sample: will the men stand for it?
They must. There is no remedy. Mar
quette county, where the mines are To-
Gated, is owned by the operators. Let
the men disobey, and every mine in that
locality will be closed, and the men
starved into submission"
The foregoing statement will likely
not be accepted by people of even or
binary knowledge of the iron ore in
dustry at the present time. The mines
are being pushed everywhere in the
Lake Superior region to the utmost
capacity of production, and the idea
that operators would shut them down
to enforce an order as to how employees
should spend their own money is con-
Sidered Sublimely ridiculous.-Herald

LABOR DAY.

Governor Van SAINT has proclaimed
Monday, Sept. 1, as Labor Day in the
following proclamation:
Whereas, the legislature of the
state of Minnesota has designated the
first Monday in September of each
year as Labor Day, and it is essential
that the same should be fittingly OBJ
served, therefore, 1, as governor Of
said state, do hereby recommend and
urge that on Monday, Sept. 1, 1902, all
labor throughout the state cease, and
that employers and employees cooperate
with one another to carry out the pur-
pose and spirit of the law Mutual
advantage suggests that confidence
and regard for the rights of one an
other should bS established among
those who toll and those who employ
labor, and it is hence desirable that
meetings occur on said day where wise
counsel can be had of matters involving
the rights of ALL and that plans be
formulated for peaceful and helpful
relations between labor and capital.
Let all our people upon said day rest
from their usual vocations and by fit
ting and appropriate observations give
due recognition TO the dignity of
labor

EVENINGS AT THE FAIR.

Evening entertainments of a high or
der have now become a settled feature
of the Minnesota State Fairs. Expert
ence running through several seasons
has demonstrated that the people want
some sort of amusement at the fair
grounds during the evening. Many peo-
pie who have been shopping in the
cities during the day like to go to the
fair grounds rather late in the after
noon, spend a short time in examining
grounds, see a few more exhibits under
electric light after eating, and spend
the renainer of the evening at the
grand stand. For this years enter
tainment the State Fair management

VERMILION AND MESABA GEO
0GY.

Prof. C. r. Van Hise, in charge Of
the United States geological survey of
the Lake Superior region, says in
speaking of his recent geological work:
Reports on the Mesaba and Vernlil-
lion range districts are now in press.
1t is our design to go. over all separate
reports of the Lake Superior districts
and compile a single publication on
Lake Superior geology. This work will
contain all the main results of our in
vestigations in the region. Our work
on the Vermilion range does not ex-
tend west Of Vermilion Lake, though
understand some explorations are be-
ing made at some distance west of that
body of water.
AS to the benefits of the geological
surveys iron ore men have been kind
enough to say that they find some.
We aim to outline the formations and
their trend, embracing the territory
where it may be considered possible to
find ore. We lay down the rules which
usually control the occurrence of ore
with iron bearing formation"
The professor says that he cannot
complete all the work contemplated
this year. He thinks there are enor-
nous deposits still awaiting discovery
in the Mesaba range.

SCARCITY OF LABOR.

The companies haveing contract
work on the ranges are complaining of
scarcity of men and railroad work is
solely handicapped. The scarcity is
caused by the exodus to the harvest
fields and there is no prospect of Il let
up until the return Of the harvest
hands. The mining companies have no
more men than they need, although the
miners are not usually very much in
evidence in the western grain fields.
The Great Northern road has called
for 1000 men for Montana railroad
work and the prospects at present are
that the road will go short.

ANOTHER VETO SENT IN.
Like the Previous One 1t Refers To
Deserter.

n DeSerter.
Washington, March 2s.-President
Roosevelt sent to the house a veto
of the bill for the relief of Emanuel
Klauser from the charge of deser-
ton.
The president says this bill, like
the senate bill in the case of James
w. Howell, not only authorizes the
president to act, but also orders the
secretary of war to revoke and set
aside the order approving the pro-
ceeding, findings and sentence OF
general court-martial, and to grant an
honorable discharge.
ct appears to imply says the
president, "the possession by con-
gress of the power of overruling and
reversing, by statute, valid Judg-
ment. If it did not do that, it was
simply an exercise of the pardoning
power. 1t is questionable whether
congress possesses either OF these
powers, and when the bill directed the
secretary of war to revoke an order,
congress in fact did the thing which
It ordered him to do"
