A Good word from the Governor.

The Northern Normal has certainly
a most earnest friend in Governor
Herreid, as the extract from his mes
sage to the legislature given below
indicates. The outlook for securing
the desired appropriation for the
dormitory is indeed good as Brown
county is certain to weld a most
potent influence at the capital this
session.
The legislature Of 1901 appropriated
2S, 900 for the erection Of a building
for the Northern Normal and Indus
trial School, to be completed and
ready for occupation before the first
day Of September, 1902. This build.
ing was nearly completed when II was

In January, 1902 the regents selected
a faculty for this institution and pre-

Russia will concede Japans requests.
Inquiries made by the Associated
Press as to particulars of this intima-
ton, whether it came from Toxic or

more than that a peaceful solution is
now highly probable.
The British government, it is under
stood from another source, has repre-
sented to the Car that Great Britain
deems Japan's demands just and earn

them. This representation is support

governments to which they are accred-

British government, will fight if Rus

COTTON AGAIN WAS
AN EXCITING VENTURE.
Trading Was Active and There
Were Many Fluctuations.


New York. Dec. 24.-Early trading
in cotton was very active again to-
day, with fluctuations very irregular
although generally speaking there was
a good undercurrent of bullishness
as a result of rather better cables than
able weather reports of good spot sales
at yesterdays advances. and continued
aggressive buying.
On the other hand there was very
heavy liquidation and more talk of
unsettled conditions in the Far East,
so that every betterment met with
heavy selling. The market opened firm
points lower to u points higher. I'm
mediately after the call covering and
bull upport put prices up to a net
gain of Is to 20 points, with July SELL
ing at 13.70c.
Then liquidation caused a reaction Of
several points, and the market showed
further feverishness and irregularity.
The early reaction only lasted for a
moment and was followed by another
upward rush of prices. January sold
at 13.51c: March. 13.S1c. and May and
July at 13. .91c. This was an advance
for the day of "a to 25 points, and such
a gain just before a triple holiday
naturally became a very tempting place
for profit taking, so that realizing was
very heavy. and prices in the early
afternoon sagged down about 10 or II
points from the top.
In the late trading fluctuations were
violent and irregular. First there was
a sharp break that carried prices down
to about last nights finals on the ac-
tive months, but in the last ten min
utes a renewal of bull support and ac-
tive covering brought about another
up-turn, with the market finally irregu-
lar and unsettled net to 16 points
higher. Sales were estimated at 1,00O,-

WOOD AND BELLAIRS
GENERAL WRITES ABOUT THE
FORMER CORRESPONDENT.
BUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES.
SAYS WOOD, WAS BELLAIRs AT
HIS TABLE.

The General Explains About the
Man with Whom Association Cost
Wood Much Adverse Criticism-He
Denies Some of the Statements
MRde-Said All Liked BeIIairs.
Stories of RascaIity Were Circu-
lated Later.
New York, Dec. 24-The Commercial
Advertiser to-day prints a letter, sign
ed by Gen. Leonard Wood and ad-
dressed to DR.. Horace Fletcher of
Yale University, in which the writer
tells of his acquaintance with Edgar
G. Bellairs In the letter, which was
written at Cairo, on May IL last, Gen.
Wood, referring to Bellairs, said:
I'm the spring of 1899 he was pro-
NOTED to Havana Cfrom Santiago), not
at my request or suggestion. direct or
indirect, as l remember 1t. He asked
absolutely no favors of me, nor so far
as l know, of any one.
After my transfer to Havana as
Governor of the whole island in De-
cember, 1s99 Bellairs continued on
duty, L should say, about five months,
and was then sent to China and the
Philippines, not at my suggestion or
request, directly or indirectly. I was
sorry to have him go, as we all liked
him and found him reliable.
In the Philippines, Bellairs was a
believer in military government in
stead of civil, and apparently wrote
accordingly and. of course, trouble
with the civil government in the way
of loss of friendly relations followed.
after Bellairs left Havana ugly ru-
mors about him began to be cir
culated. They came almost entirely
from a number of men. who did not
like him. and on investigation nothing
definite was found. heard from him
very seldom.
FINALLY some one published what
purports to be a story of Bellairs' past
and points out that he was my par
ticular friend. and that 1 sent him
to China, and that his attitude to-
ward the civil government was at my
suggestion, and that 1 was working
to relieve Taft, etc, etc.,-conclusions
as false as they are childish and sill
ly. Who started the thing no one
knows but doubtless some of the peo-
pie 1 had to handle without gloves
during my stay in Cuba 1t was far
fetched and dishonest and intended
to create trouble.
This is the whole story. Bellairs
was in no way especially intimate with
me or my family-that is to say, l
don't think that in all this Cuban serv-
ice, he was at my table more than
three, or, at most, four times.
"I saw him daily, as 1 did the Sun
man, and gave them such news as
1 could. They were treated exactly
alike"

HE WROTE LETTERS
DEMANDING MONEY.
Attempted by Threats to Bleed
wealthy Men.

Chicago, Dec. A.-The source of the
mysterious letter demanding large
sums, which for the past six months
have been received by men high in the
financial world of New York and Chi
cago, was to-day traced to Leo r. Bren-
nan, commercial artist of Chicago,
and the young man was placed under
arrest as he was leaving the general
postoffice, where he had gone in an
swer to decoy letter.
When confronted with the evidence
of his wrong doing, Brennan confessed
to having attempted to enforce a dozen
demands for sums of $4,000 and $780,
600 and having threatened his intended
victims with death should they refuse
to comply with his demands for money.
In his confession Brennan declared that
all his attempts to extort money had
been futile, as he never received a dol
lar in answer to any of his requests.
The New York financiers of whom
Brennan demanded money were ]. P.
Morgan. John D. Rockefeller, James
Stillman and Andrew Carnegie. OF each
of these he demanded $50, 900 in his first
anu OIl ISOCANlllS IO ICpltcSt II
is said, reduced the amount demanded
to $4,000.
Among those in Chicago upon whom
Brennan attempted to levy tribute were
Marshall Field, Ogden Armour and G..
S. Swift. None of the Chicago men
was asked for more than $25,000.
In the case of MARSHALL Field, Bren-
nan wrote under the name OF William
Craig He first asked Mr.. Field to
leave $4,000 beneath a pillar of a
porch at the latter's home. No atten-
tion was paid to the letter by Field
until another, in which the veiled
threats in the first letter were made
palmer was received from Brennan.
In the second letter Brennan demand
ed that the money! be mailed. Mr..
Field then placed the matter in the
hands of a detective agency.
A few days ago, q decoy letter was
sent to Brennan, telling him that his
demand upon Field would be acceded
to. Then package was prepared and
addressed to Craig to be delivered
at the registered letter department of
the general postoffice, Brennan fell
into the trap and to-day called at the
postoffice, asked for and was given
the package.
Signing the receipt Brennan, with a
pleased smile on his face, turned to
walk away, but walked into the arms
of four detectives who had been
watching the proceedings.
No formal charge was entered
against him. but he will be held for
action of the federal authorities.

VIII De Slow Negotint;or..

London, Dec. 24-Diplomatic circles
in London look for several days of dull
Russo-Japanese negotiations.
The Japanese legation points out
that Japan's counter proposals will
possibly entail somewhat prolonged
consideration. Meanwhile a London
Times dispatch from Toxic saying
'"The best informed circles in Japan
do not share the pessimism which ap-
pears to prevail in London, inasmuch
as the resources of diplomacy are by
no means exhausted" has created a
more hopeful feeling, especially as the
Times yesterday, both in its dispatches
and editorially, took a warlike view of
the situation.
