SHIRT SLEEVE DIPLOMACY"
The Strenuous Way in Which the
President Acted IS b. /.

Washington, Dec. 30.-It is stated here
that when President Roosevelt asked the
powers to make use Of The Hague tri-
bunal he gave them plain spoken state
ment that the United States would not
recognize any awards that touched the
territory Of Venezuela or sought to place
a mortgage upon that territory.
President Roosevelt was gratified to
received from Berlin as frank g reply from
the kaiser in which these conditions
were accepted and an agreement made
that The Hague should arbitrate for
Germany. Then came from London a
similar reply showing the willingness of
King Edward to accept the same court
with the same limitations. 1t therefore
is clearly understood between this gov
eminent and the governments of Ger
many and England that the arbitration is
as to financial responsibilities of Vene-
zuela and that it. in no way touches the
question of Venezuelan territory.
1t is straightforward and unqualified
Germany recognize the Monroe doctrine
as the great American policy and that
they will not ask the court to touch upon
any question in it's award that will in
the slightest degree interfere with this
policy.
The president and his advisers regard
this understanding as the most complete
recognition Of the Monroe doctrine ever
given by European power, and 1t was
secured by what England a few years
ago called the shirt sleeve diplomacy
Of the United States.

Dr.. Mcdonald on the Increase Of

Washington, Dec. 30.-In a report TO

ton. makes the announcement that with
In the last thirty or forty years; with
few exceptions, there has been an IN
crease, relative to population, in crime

norrnality' DR.. Macdonald says it
would seem. that the increase is due
more to the rapid development of the
world in general, rather than to any
specific cause. NJ
DR.. Macdonald says that in this coun-
try the states that show the greatest edu-
cation and Intelligence, as the north
Atlantic, central and western, also ex-
coed in insanity, suicide, nervous dis
eases, juvenile criminals and almshouse
paupers. He adds:
This state Of civilization, involving
many transition periods, puts an abnor-
NAL strain upon the nervous system as
compared with the muscular system
Thus the electric car, automobile and the
telephone. tend to make people exercise
less and think more. "A reaction has set

systems Of physical culture. s. The less

n Milwaukee, Dec. 3o.-Dr. John Bascom,
formerly president of the University of
Wisconsin, who is attending the Wisconsin
State Teachers association convention,
made a sensational attack upon John D.
Rockefeller and the Chicago university in
an address yesterday. He said
mo money that is obtained at the ex-
pense Of the people can ever be used for
the good of the people: There are no
trusts In the intellectual world, and no
corners. in the kingdom of heaven. I
doubt the power of any university to turn
money that has been made at the expense
of the community into the welfare of the
community. The faint of a. bad temper
will cling to 1t like favor in, an unclean
Infusion.
%'.The present contention Of men over
riches is like the fighting of dogs over a
bone. The victor limps away, under a
blind instinct. buries his bone, and then
forgets it. Bones have not even nour-
ished the dog life wasted upon them. The
glory Of a reality not yet real, the splendor
Of work not yet accomplished, the beauty
of a day that has not yet dawned, these
are the enthusiasm Of the teacher, and
into these eternal terms he must trans
late all human experience
AS this was apparently aimed at the
Standard Oil man DR.. Basconn was asked
for an explanation. and he said: ~.
Certainly I meant the Chicago uni
versity and its acceptance Of the gifts from
John D. Rockefeller. When an institu-
ton founded and maintained for the bene-
fit and education of the youth of the public
accepts money which has been gained in
every defiance of laws and principles laid
down by that public, It vitiates it's inf1u-
ence on the minds Of those students upon
whom it IS it's duty to exert a good and
moral influence" ( s-5..ss.--@4 4- RI

ARE SORE.
Union Pacific Men Miffed by the
Denial and Calm Assurance of
Hartman.
They Remind Him That a Real Set
Element" Is to Come From
Them, Not Him.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb.. Dec. 3o-E. II. Harri-
ence with the Union Pacific strikers has
caused much anger among the 800 strikers
in Omaha. and they are more determined
than ever to win the strike.
The treatment which is said to have
been accorded their committee which
called on Hartman and President Burt.
and the statement of the latter that 1.-The
Union Pacific is being run for the stock
holders, not the employees has left them
in an ugly mood and has made them very
firm in their resistance to the road. They
declare that while the New York commit
tee can make suggestions and recommen-
dations toward ending the strike, the
real settlement must come from the Strik-
ers themselves, who must vote on the
proposition before it is accepted. The
men insist that they will not back down
on single detail and will accept no prop
osition which does not provide for every
demand contained in their first PROPOSE
ton. ~
Since it became known among the strike
breakers In the shops here that confer
ence looking to the settlement of the
strike was to be held, these men have
changed their behavior toward the strik-
ers. They are now making attempts to
join the union in order that they may re-
tain their positions.
Last night a "scab" foreman managed
to slip through the Gordon of guards
around the shops and sought the strike
leaders. He claimed to represent twenty
three of the best machinists in the shops,
and asked in their names if they would
be received into the union should they
desert. The strikers refused the offer
and will insist that every strike breaker
be discharged before the union men re-
enter the shops.

BINGER HERMANN CASE
Lack of Discipline in. His Bureau
Some Irregularities.

Washington, Dec. S0.-Binger Hermann,
who was asked to resign from the land
office. was for ten years a member Of con-
gress from Oregon. He will be succeeded
by William A. Richards, assistant COM
missioner. -, -. go. =,
Mr.. Hermanns resignation was not a
surprise, although it was secured with diff
f1culty. It is not possible to learn the
exact cause of the failure Of his admins
tration. - One" of his superiors defined it
as a want of executive capacity xE
tThe lack of discipline in his bureau has
been responsible for many abuses. It is
shown that the clerks under him have
been using their time in Office hours to
address ranked enve1ops to forward polit-
ical speeches for congressman. ~, .
1t is claimed that in one of the divisions
under him clerks are employed in the
making of maps which are sold privately,
and the government only receives. part Of
the proceeds. -. p. '-..
1t is claimed that extraordinary and I'M
reasonable charges have been made for
eXtinguishing forest fires, and that items
Of expenses have been passed without
proper investigation. IS. +,lsH.'z** a
1t is claimed that UNNECESSARY surveys
have been made in one of the northwest
states. and that the interior depart
ment did not use it's inspectors with sut-
flcient vigor to locate fraudulent practices.
William A.. Richards, who will succeed
Hermann, is native of Wisconsin, When
a young man, he zjourneyed overland to
California because he was sick with con-
sumption. ~ w. $3.50 ; -: .
He returned to Colorado, where he be-
calne'an editor. He also became lawyer
and went to Wyoming as such. There he
served a term as governor and came to the
land office as assistant commissioner after
Mckinley came to the White House.
Charges have been preferred against
two of the subordinate officials Of the
land office involving alleged Irregularities.
These officials are Harry King, chief.
and Fred P. Metzger, assistant chief of
the draughtsman's department OF the
government land Office. T.. The former is
charged with neglect Of duty and the lat
ter with mismanagement and unsatisfac.
tory administration Of his duties.

Mrs. Washburn arrived quite unexpected
Iy last night making the little party COM
piete. She made the trip alone from Min
neapolis and hor coming was one Of the
Christmas surprises she had in store for
her husband. Professor F'lather made one
OF the vice presidents addresses before
the session of mechanical engineering
Among other things he discussed the
widespread use OF electrical energy and
compressed air in, manufacturing. He stat
ed that the recent improvements in the
construction and operation Of the gas en-
CINE indicated that for many purposes the
combustion engines will replace both
steam engines and electric motors. Gas
engines OF 1000 horse power and over are
now being constructed and the field is
constantly increasing. Regarding the use
Of steam engines, Professor Flather stat
ed that the economies already obtained
with the: steam turbine predestined that
motor to wide application in the genera
ton Of electricity for light and power. The
whole question of power generation at the
present time is in a state Of transition
but competition between the various
methods will undoubtedly show the special
field for which each is best adapted.
The sessions will close Saturday morn
ing with a reception at the White House
by President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Friday
night a public reception will be given by
the citizens Of Washington at the Cor
coran Art Gallery. The Minneapolis peo-
pie expect to start for home Saturday

Ibis train, the Louisville e Nashville New
%Oreleans- Cincinnati northbounds express.
sat $50 O'Clock this morning when near
sing South Louisville and as a result was
sshot by the robber over the left temple,
but not badly hurt. Conductor keene is
confident he killed MORALLY wounded
the robber with bullet from a Winches-
ter rifle.
The train reached this city at $50
O'Clock and at o'clock a special train
of one coach and an engine left the
tenth street station for the scene of the
,hoadup. The train was manned by a large
number Of policemen and Louisville &.
Nashville employees to search for the body
of the robber go
I The train just entering the limits
of South Louisville. Conductor Keene
was passing through the car as was his
habit just before entering the Louisville
station. AS he entered the car the figure
Of a. man wearing mask jumped from a
dark corner Of the car, and with drawn
revolver commanded Keene to throw up
his hands. Instead of doing so he grappled
with the robber. A pistol ball momentar
fly stunned Keene and the robber pulled
the bellcord, but before the train stopped
the highwayman proceeded to rob the pas
sengers in the sleeper. He held up Joseph
J. e. Moore. the only passenger. taking $50
from the latter.
AS the train slowed down the robber
Jumped off, but was followed by Conductor
Keene, who had secured a Winchester.
The conductor hurried after the robber,
firing as he went, and emptied his rifle
at the retreating burglar. At one of the
shots the fleeing man let out a vel, of
pain. The firing aroused the passengers
and caused considerable excitement.
Conductor Keene was removed to hos
pital. His wounds, however, are not
serious. He is said to be the strongest
man in Louisville, and was. at one time
national champion In several amateur
athletic classes. No trace of the robber,
whom Keene declares he shot, had been
found up to noon. although night watch
man in the yards Of the Southern Rail
way reported that about daylight he
found a man bleeding and lying along
the tracks at Third and K streets. The
man said he had fallen from a train and
according to the watchman's statement,
two men came along at this time and car
ried the injured man away.
. Chief Of Police Gunther has detailed
mounted officers and patrolmen on the
case but they have been unable to find
any trace Of the man. No blood trail has
been found and from this Mr.. Gunther Is
inclined to discredit the night watchman's
story.
j. The statements Of Conductor Keene
and Pullman Conductor BEDFORD are posi-
tive that but one man was concerned in
the robbery. The train crew say the rob-
Der got on the train at Lebanon Junction,
but they put him off at the next station
Ind did not know he had caught the last

KING GEORGES ACCOUNT
His Majesty of saxony Will Tell
,:lTo About the Crown Princess z4,
Escapade.s T. -

+ Berlin, Dec. 30.-King George Of Saxony
has ordered the preparation of a full,
official account of the elopement of the
Crown Princess Louise and the 7circum-
stances leading up to 1t. Among the
SaXons the most fantastic stories are in
circulation to the detriment of the royal
house, especially with reference to the
future king. The scandal is undermining,
according to some opinions, the peoples
loyalty and respect for the throne. The
dynasty being Catholic and the people
Protestant, the affair is being utilized
for sectarian controversy. - d.
The kings statement, doubtless, will
follow, the lines indicated in the intima-
tions supplied to the newspapers having
court leanings, published to-day, affirm
ing that the clown princess sole reason
for clipping was her criminal rela ton with
Professor Giross and that documentary
proofs have been found showing that the
.elopement had long been in preparation.
The stories of ill-trea tn1ent on: the part
of her husband, of oppressive court cere-
monia1s and of her fettered existence
are classed as inventions. :. g.: 49,,
The crown princess own account of the
immediate cause of her flight from Salz-
burg, written to an intimate friend, pre-
sumably the Princess Therese of Bavaria
was telegraphed from Munich this NOR
ming, It says her father intended to i'm
prison her either in lunatic asylum or
in an Italian convent. He had already
consulted the court physician and sew
eral medical authorities in Vienna with
the object Of obtaining certificates war
ranting him in. shutting her up. Her
father, the crown princess adds, was Civ
ing her no time for deliberation. He de-
manded first that she be taken under
guard to Dresden, to apologize to the
crown prince. and that she then choose
between confinement in convent or in
n1adhouse. The crown princess asks
the Bavarian court to use it's influence
with the court at Dresden to permit her
children to choose their vocation in life
freely. - @

now COMES TAWINEY
Congressman From the First Ar
rives to Aid Babcock in Speak
ership Fight.
Johnson Denies Any Talk Of Com
mon Agreement Against
Dark Horses.

# One week remains. before the opening
day Of the legislative session, and mem
spers are beginning to straggle into st.
Paul. About a dozen country members
We're on hand to- day and received many
attentions from the rival speakership can
didates and their friends.
Further reinforcements have arrived for
the ant1-administrltion forces. Con-
gresham Tawney came in from Winona
this morning, and 1t Is whispered will be
an active factor in the contest, doing his
best to swing the first district to Bah
cock. He blanles the administration for
the candidacy of Knatvold against him
self, and considers this one Of his OPP
portunittes TO set even Another bench
man arrived yesterday afternoon in sid"
Barteau1 OF Lumbrota, a leading. boxer
in the last house, whose presence in the
fight is a positive guarantee Of the in
terests that are, behind it. Congressman
Heatwole is still" on the ground, bringing
what pressure he can upon the third
district members, and advising the move
ments of the campaign. - -. =
Hennepin county members began to
circulate to-day and from now until the
caucus there will be a strong Johnson
bodyguard3 on hand. In St. Paul to-day
were Messrs. Johnson, Shearer Smith,
Girling, Shepherd and Gillette. The John
son men declare that it is only question
Of holding their strength until the meet
ing of the house caucus
There Is little dark horse talk. The
members generally recognize that the fight
has been made by the two contestants.
and that it should be settled without COM
plications. A ST. Paul paper friendly to
Babcock said to-day that there was a
mutual understanding between the candi-
dates that rather than permit a dark horse
they would unite their forces. AS far as
Johnson is concerned this is not the case
He said to-day:
II have said that to my mind there is
necessity for the entrance of other
candidates., but I have never made any
such statement as that would go to Bah
cock before permitting a dark horse to
win > .'!;s - @r-
The Johnson fight has been made against
Babcock and what he stands for, and it is
manifestly absurd for the Johnson men
to talk of any understanding with the
opposition.
The Babcock men talk confidently.
They evidently count on the well-known
sagacity of their leaders to manipulate
the doubtful members as they arrive. At
present Babcock lacks a dozen votes of
enough, while Johnsons strength, if it
stands fast, Is sufficient to carry the eau
Gus handily.
