criticses Remarks of President and
Mr.. Loomis.

Washington, Dec. 19.-At the begin
ming of the days session of the senate
Mr.. Hoar offered a resolution instruct
ing the committee on printing to as
certain whether it is not possible to
have the Congressional Record print
ed in better type than at present and
briefly addressed the senate on the
subject saying that it was very diff
cult to read it as now printed. The
resolution was agreed TO.
Mr.. Daniel was then recognized to
speak upon Mr. Hoar's resolution re.
questing the president to send to the
senate all the information bearing
said that the Panama treaty had been
discussed by the president in his mes
sage, amply in some respects, but in
other respects very sparsely.
Mr.. Cullom called attention to the
fact that the treaty had not been acted
upon by the committee on foreign re-
lations and intimated that it was not
in order TO discuss it
Mr. Daniel retorted by saying that
there is not so much nervousness
over any inquiry on the part of Re-
publican eenators as to cause them to
jump before they have been spurred.'
He reiterated his statement that the
president had discussed the treaty in
public and called attention to Secre-
tary Loomis' New York speech, as well
as to the debates in the senate, and
declared that never before has there
S1en such a thorough defiance and
contempt OF the law of secrecy which
prevails in diplomatic affairs as have
been displayed in this matter"
MI Daniel also referred to Minister
Bunau-Varilla and said of him that
while i. is true that all men play many
parts in the course of their lives that
gentleman had played more parts in
"a shorter time than any other actor
who had challenged favor from back
of the footlights."

RUSSIANS OPTIMISTIC.
Hope for Peaceful Settlement Of Dis.
pute With Japan

London, Dec ia special dispatch
from st. Petersburg says:
Optimistic anticipations of a pacific
solution of the Russo-Japanese crisis
are still entertained in the leading
Russian official circles in spite OF
some disquietude on the part of the
public and alarmist press reports
The opinion here is that the Russo.
Japanese negotiations will proceed 1t
is pointed out that there is no reason
why Japan,ssif not satisfied with Rus
sia's reply, should break off the nego-
tiations, since the reply is in no sense
an ultimatum, leaving the way open
for counter proposals. 1t is suggested
as an expedient in case no agreement
can be reached that an arrangement
might be made to maintain the pres.
ent status for number of years.

CHURCH CELEBRATIONS.
ST. Peters, Mendoza, St. lMichael's,
saltwater.

The tiftieth anniversary of the build
ing of the st. Peters church ut Men
dota was celebrated Tuesday. 1t is
the first permanent church erected in
what is now Minnesota. Replete with
historic memories, it recalls the days
when Mendoza was the metropolis of
the Northwest, and st. Paul the suburb.
Old settlers, some of them among the
builders of the historic old church, We're
present at the ceremonies, their faces
beaming with pride at the achieve
nents concentrated. 1t was great
day for Mendoza. The members of the
congregation gathered from miles
around. The picturesque old village
was enlivened by the crowds which
thronged about the old church. Several
of the former pastors of the church
were there. A dozen ncighboring
priests assisted Mgr Oster, the pastor.
in the celebration of an event which
has unique significance to the Cath
Olics of Minnesota and particularly Of
the region which was once included in
the parish of St. Peters. Mgr. RavouX,
who built the church fifty years ago,
was not able to be present. However.
his work as a pioneer received full and
grateful recognition. The ceremonies
commenced at 10 o'clock, with a pro-
cessional from the parsonage to the
church. headed by acolytes with can
dies. Rev. Thomas r. Duane of AnOk:.
a former pastor of st. Peters, preached
/ the sermon. 1t was an eloquent tribute
to the heroic missionary priests to
whom the church and community are

Bishop Loras, to come to Il wilderness
full of perils, hardships and loneliness.

possible that the Chamberlain stock
men are mistaken about the small loss
of stock on the ranges west of the Mis-

Iona Pioneer says that hides are COM

and that the price has dropped to 8
cents pound, while there does not
seem to be a market in Chamberlain at
any price.

that's in it on the stock ranges across

to winter as much as two chickens in
that country-such winters as the past
one.
Martin Johnson, who owns a ranch
eighty miles west of Chamberlain and
another one $50 miles west, was in this
county last week visiting friends. He
wintered $500 sheep. most of them on
the ranch farthest west. He says it
was the toughest winter of the thirteen
that he has put in over in that coun-
Try, and will use all of the 500 tons of

WOULD GO TO HAVANA.
Paddy" Carroll Wants to Pull Off Cor.
hett .leffries Eiuht There.

Chicago, March 26.-It is now known
that Havana Is the place selected by
Paddy Carroll to decide the battle for
the heavyweight championship be-
tween Jeffries and Corbett. A man
close to Carroll told that Havana is
looked upon by Carroll as absolutely
immune Of interference.
Carroll talked guardedly Of his plans
and said the check he has been
talking about will be in Chicago
not later than Tuesday and he will then
divulge his plans.
An interesting question is. will the
United States like to see two men who
are to be the contestants in this big
affair leave their own country, in which
they are barred in all but one city, or
rather one state, and decide the battle
in one of it's recent possessions? It is
not likely. The American consuls have
been trying to inoculate the American
idea in all things there.
One of the first acts OF. the American
leaders when first put in charge was to
bar bull fighting as sport and there
has been little Of this there for over two
years. By many of the Spanish and
southern bred persons Of both money
and intelligence bull fighting is consid-
cred as mild as spring day in com
parison to prize fighting" Influence
against the battle is sure to be exer-
cised.
Reasoning along those lines, how
will Carroll get enough gate money at
fancy prices to settle the 100000 purse
| as well as the amount necessary to get
an arena and pay training expenses
and advertising bills? Havana may
contain many sport-loving people, but
theyare absolutely in ignorance Of box
Ing. Certainly there would not be
enough Americans go to make crowd.
The GOODNESS Of the fight followers to
! take long expensive trips was never
better shown than in the unfortunate
tangle in which Dan Stuart found him
self over the Carson City deal with
Fftzsimmons and Corbett. In all thirty
two Chicagoans saw the battle and 9TH
er cities turned out corresponding
numbers
