Gov. VAN SAINT
AT KNOX COLLEGE
Speaks on Founders Day at
the Institution Where
He Studied.

Special to The Globe.
GALESBURG, Ill, Feb. 16.-Found-
er's day was celebrated by the alumni
and students of Knox college today,
and the principal speaker was Gov.
Samuel r. Van SAINT, Of Minnesota,
former student of the college. Gov.
Van SAINT was rendered a reception in
the early evening and then a banquet
was given. The speaking followed.
Clark e. Carr introduced the governor.
Gov. Van SAINT emphasized as the CEN
trail thought of his address the truth
that patriotism and education go hand
in hand. He said:
I'm the early days our forefathers
cut down the forest, cleared the soil,
laid out farms and built block houses
and forts. At the same time they nur-
tured the principles that produced such
colleges as Harvard and Yale. 1t is
generally recognized that college men
are patriotic and brave and such make
the best teachers. OF soldiers and
teachers the college is a fond mother.
In our late war our young college men
stood in the front ranks and carried
the flag on to victory. They are sent
soldier and teacher alike, to spread
civilization through the Philippines
Much of the governors address was
reminiscent and he paid an eloquent
tribute to his old teachers.

WILHELMINk
MAY HELP US

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 16.-
Queen Wilhelmina Of The Netherlands
may be requested by the Washington
government to name the umpire who
shall pass on the claim of the United
States against Venezuela, in the event
that the persons named by the United
States and Venezuela cannot agree.
The selection Of Queen Wilhelmina was
suggested by Mr.. Bowen and it is
probable that the protocols soon to be
signed by Mr.. Hay and Mr. Bowen will
provide that the queen shall name the
umpire in the event of disagreement.
This is intended as a compliment to
the sovereign of the country at whose
capital The Hague tribunal sets. Great
Britain, Germany and Italy in their
protocols provide that the king of
Spain shall name the umpire

SENATOR NELSON
RATHER SORE
President Told Him That
Merriam Was Never in
the Race.

From the Globe Washington Bureau.
= WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16.-Sen-
atoP Nelson is said to be a little out OF
sorts at the manner in which he was
thrown down In the effort to have Will
liam r. Merriam appointed secretary
of commerce. Not only was he thrown
down, but the president gave him to
understand that Merriam had never
been in the race. He refused to take
him under consideration or even to
think about Merriam as candidate.
which, in view Of the fact that both
Nelson and ClaIp had strongly in
dorsed Merriam and had refused to
allow any other patronage matter to
interfere with their efforts for him,
was little sudden.
Among the very numerous candi
dates for the position of the chief Of
the bureau of corporations, which Of
fee will go to President Garf1eld's son,
was, Fred, Ingersell, OF st. Paul. He
was Nelson's candidate. Frank Barry,
secretary Of the National Board of
Trade Of Milwaukee, is a candidate
for deputy. zztz

ADDICKS HAS AN
ARSENAL OF KNIVES
Says No Anti-Addicks Republican Can
Hold Office in Delaware.

WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 16-The
following statement was issued tonight
by J. Edward Addicks, the Union Re-
publican candidate for United States
senator:
"On the Republican side there are
but two things the bolters can do:
First, the ten men now voting against
J. Edward Addicks can come into
common caucus of thirty-one Republic
ans. In this case Addicks will with
draw and his twenty-one friends will
nominate two Union Republican SEN
ators as near to Addicks as possible,
and the whole thirty-one will elect
them. OF course, If the boilers can
find any way where ten men can beat
twenty-one they can nominate one of
the senators.
Second, each side can elect one
senator without dictation from the
other side. In this case Mr.. Addicks
will be the choice of the Union Repub-
hcans. No dictatton will be permitted
by the Union Republicans.
con the Democratic side the DEM
ocrats can join the boilers and elect
anybody the coalition pleases. This
cannot be prevented by the Union Re-
publicanS and they would not lift a
hand to prevent it.
LAS to the future position of the
Union Republicans, in no event will
any more notice be taken of the bolt
ers in Newcastle county. No more
common primaries will be tolerated
which would be binding on honorable
Union Republicans and not binding
on boilers. No man who refused to
vote for ]. Edward Addicks in the leg
islature will ever be allowed to hold
any Office in Delaware, or will any
bOlter sympathizers be permitted to
come to the front. Union Republicans
will nominate a straight ticket in VIII
mington and throughout the state in
the long future. AS to the appoint
ments. Congressman Ball cannot get
federal appointment. After March 4
the appointments, according to custom.
ought to go to the chairman Of the
Union Republican state committee and
the national committeeman, j. Edward
Addicks. We shall see where the pow
er will lie.''

Illinois. Farmer Uses His Red Lined
Coat for Signal.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Feb. 16-S. S. Glasscock,
a farmer, faced blizzard in his shirt
sleeves for more than an hour today
to save one hundred passengers on the
Cleveland, Cincinnati & st. Louis rail-
way. Glasscock was frozen so that he
had to be carried into the cars after
he tagged the train near Harrisburg
Glasscock, while walking along the
track discovered broken rail at
point where the embankment was for
ty feet high. He knew that a south
bound passenger train was about due
and ran up the track to flag the train.
He used his red lined coat as a flag
and to make sure that his signal would
be seen by the engineer, he held the
coat aloft on stick, leaving himself
unprotected In the binding storm and
zero temperature for more than an
hour, the train being late. The pas
sengers made him handsome presents
and each shook his hand.

OPPOSE IRON REBATES.
Laybourn Extension Bill Met by Tive
Repeating Measures.


Senator Laybourn's bill to amend
the act regulating the sale of mineral
and other lands belonging to the state
encountered unexpected opposition by
the senate sitting as a committee Of
the whole yesterday afternoon.
The bill Of the st. Louis county SEN
ator is designed to extend the present
ten-year limit for paying rebates to
the mining companies manufacturing
their iron in smelters in the state.
The rebate law was passed in 1897, and
Senator LaybOurn would extend the
time five additional years.
The opposition encountered yesterday
was led by Senators Rieke and Nor
gan. These two senators, though deny
ing any previous understanding, in
troduced duplicate bills in the senate
yesterday to repeal the law that Sem
ator Laybourn would amend.
This disputed law provides that any
mining company smelling its ore in the
state shall be paid rebate of 25 cents
per ton by the state. This rebate
money comes out of the general school
fund, and Senators Morgan and Rieke
insist that this fund should be pro-
tected.
Senator Laybourn argued that the
law encouraged companies to eStab-
lish smelters in the state, and thus
brought in taxable property worth
lively small sum paid out for the re-
bates. He also pointed out that up
to the present time not company had
applied for the rebate.
Senator Morgan replied that the law,
though it's wording avoided all men
ton Of bounty, was nothing more or
less than a bounty bill, and he could
see no reason for thus encouraging the
mining companies.
AS the debate was entirely unexpect-
ed, progress was reported on the Lay
bourn measure to enable the senators
to make a more thorough examination
of it's provisions.

following substituted:
THAT whenever the interstate COM

desirable to inquire whether any COR

eign commerce has restrained or mo-
nopoltzed such trade or commerce, or

file returns under the provisions of this
section shall state, among other things,
which said interstate commerce COM
mission, or the department of COM
merce and labor, may from time to
time prescribe It's name, date of or
ganization, ETC."
Other portions of section 1 were left
as it came from the house, as were
also sections 2, 3 and 4, except that
the minimum fine of $500 for falling
to make returns is stricken out, leav-
ing specification only of the maxi
mum, which is left at $4,000. Section
8, pertaining to rebates, is stricken
out entirely because the question of
rebates is covered by the Elkins bill,
which already has passed both houses.
Section 9, authorizing and defining the
legal process for enforcing the law,
was cancelled. 49, That provision was
taken out of the bill because the
ground is covered by the substitute
for section Z.
The house provision in section II, the
last section, was materially modified.
The house bill awards damages three
fold" to persons or corporations in
jured by other persons or corporations,
under the proposed act. The commit
tee struck out the word "threefold,"
providing only for damages and cost

against the final motion to report the
bill. These were given by Senator
Platt, of Connecticut, and Senator
Clark, of Wyoming.
Senator Nelson offered a substitute
for the entire bill specifically declar-
ing against mergers on the part of

Representative Johnson the Storm
Center of Spirited oHuse SquabbIe
Remarks by Representatives Burns
and Stevenson, touching the record and
methods of Representative Johnson,
yesterday caused the latter to rise to a
point of personal privilege and deny
that he had ever attempted to adver-
tise his business on the floor Of the
house
Chairman w. A. Nolan, of the COM
mittee on railroads, reported the Stone
bill, providing that companies may not
raise their freight rates without the
consent of the railroad and warehouse
commission, for indefinite postpone
men.
Mr.. Stone wanted his bill given fur
ther consideration. He said there Wa
only a bare quorum present when his
bill was before the committee. Mr.
Nolan made him retract that state
ment and apologize, as it developed
that thirteen of the seventeen commit
teemen were present. Mr.. Nolan said
he had no objection to another hear
ing on the bill, but that the statements
made by Commissioner Mills in advo-
cacy of the measure had satisfied the
committee that it is not what the peo-
pie of the state want, because 1T would
destroy competition.
Mr.. Johnson came to the front with
a motion to except the bill from the
committee report, and backed his mo-
ton up with a speech and occasional
thumps on his desk, which caused
Burns and Stevenson to turn loose on
him. incidentally Mr.. Johnson said
something about the length of his
service in the house, the pol 4 es OF
the governors office and his interest as
a shipper. He also said something
about representing not alone his own
constituents, but the whole state.
Burns was first OF the sore ones to
get the floor. He rather more than in
timated that Mr.. Johnson's speech
would be in better taste if 1t were not
designed to advertise Mr.. Johnson's
business. Then Stevenson took a
whirl at Johnson, just to show that

IS EXONERATED
DEGREES LABOR COMPACT
House Committee Requires
Less Than Twenty Minutes
to Decide State Auditor Is
Not Guilty of Practicing
Fayoritism-No Witnesses
Examined.

state Auditor Iverson is exonerated
OF the implied charge of practicing ia
Vor1tism in the award of state mineral
land leases. The official exoneration
will be sent to the house this morning
In the form of resolutions drafted by
the clerk of the house committee on
mines and mining.
1t took the house committee ON
mines and mining something less than
twenty minutes yesterday afternoon to
decide that only exoneration is due the
state auditor. The members of the
committee left the formal resolutions
with its clerk, only directing that they
shall include at least three adjectives
wholly, entirely and completely
as applied to the exoneration.
Several weeks ago Representative
Hugo introduced in the house a bill
designed, he said, to prevent the prac-
tlce OF favoritfsm in the award of min
eral leases by the state auditors Of
fee. interviewed by The Globe, he
said favoritism had been practiced in
the award Of at least two recent
awards.
Mr.. Iverson sent copy of the print
ed interview to the speaker of the
AOuoC anu dSh0u lnaC ne De 1nV6Stl-
gated. The matter was referre to the
committee on mines and mining and
the investigation was yesterday ac-
-complished quickly and apparently to
the satisfaction of everybody present.
No Evidence Required.
Representative Hugo, who introduc-
ed the offensive bill, was not present
on the floor Of the house yesterday, and
as a matter of course could not attend
the investigation. Mr.. Iverson was
present. He had several books and a
bunch of mineral land lease blanks but
was not required to show the blanks or
open the books.
DIR. Budd, chairman Of the commit
tee, said so far as he could see the
committee was not in a position to de-
termine that any thing irregular had
been done in Iverson's office and all
that remained for it to do would be to
give the auditor clean bill. Mr.. Iver-
son. could, if he wished. make a simple
statement and the committee would
then exonerate him.
Representative Dowling strenously
opposed a desire upon the part of q
Fourth district member to go into ex-
ecutive session. Mr.. Iverson informed
the committee If favoritism had been
practiced 1t was a violation of law;
the clerk was instructed to frame the
resolutions, and it was all over within
twenty minutes.
