A serious riot was IL progress yester-

eminent buildings there and the police
had to fire on the rioters, killing and
wounding several The British cruiser
PalIas, at the time the dispatch left,
was landing bIuejackets. The rioting
was due TO the refusal Of the govern

ton was made during yesterdays
meeting of the legislative council and
finally the mobs stoned the govern

a number of the friends of Judge

Endorsement Not Likely.
In the meeting today if an attempt
is made to get endorsement for any
one there will be a lively time with
all of these contesting attorneys.
Friends of Judge Clementson are on
the ground. A delegation Of Platte
vile attorneys arrived last night and
said the judge is willing to make the
contest. They were anxious that his
name be placed on the ticket but
wanted assurances of support from
other sections. 1t is expected that
the bar of practically the entire third
district will stand back of him. The
Dane county bar, with the exception
of a few members, is standing soIidly
behind Judge Siebecker. The friends
Of Mr.. Ruger are not here yet.
Lawyers here feel the situation was
badly complicated by the filing of the
Kruger papers. Mr.. Ruger is acknowl-
edged as an estimable gentleman with
following in his own city His
coming in made it necessary, Dane
county lawyers say, for some other
candidate to get into the field and
this prompted them to start the

admit the fitness of Judge Siebecker

State Bar Meeting May Develop
Into a Lively Gathering.
Madison, March "a.

Judge Siebecker of Madison seems
easily the leading candidate for the
seat of the supreme bench made va
cant by the death of the late Justice
Bardeen. He and William H. Ruger
of GAINESVILLE will have their names
on the official ballot unless the legis-
lature rushes through a bill to extend
the time for the nomination papers
This action by the legislature is
deemed exceedingly likely; indeed
such a measure was prepared and in
the hands of Senator Kreutzer last
night, but was rot introduced, it
being determined at the last minute
to redraft it. There appears to be
good reason for the statement that
Governor La Toilette will make no ap-
continent until after the meeting of
the state bar today and it is also said
to be determined by him not to make
any appointment until after the cleo

Large Gathering Of LAWYERS.

From indications last night the
melting Of the bar today will pc large
and extremely lively, although the at
tOrneys claim it will be informal.
They clam that the only important
business to be done by the associa-
ton will be the endorsing Of a propo-
sition to pass a bill in the Legislature
today which will legalize the filing Of
the petition filed yesterday, if there
is any doubt as to their legality, and
to extend the time for filing until Sat

While this is what is claimed open
ly, beneath the surface there is a
movement on foot to get an endorse
ment from the meeting for the candi-
dacy of George G. Green of Green
Bay. The fact that it has been
stated by H. o. Fairchild that Mr..
Green is not candidate and that
from Green Bay word has been re-

Special to The Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Nov. 2s.-Sheriff
Bernick last evening received a tele-
gram from Royalton asking him to
intercept a runaway couple from that
village. Inquiry reveals that the pair
were arrested at Little Falls and the
man in the case was remanded to Jail.
The principals were Charles Silver and
Belle Bennett and both were members
of Benefits Medicine Show company,
playing an engagement at Royaiton.
Silver is about forty years old and
leading man for the company, and the
girl-who is said to be but thirteen
years of age, but looks to be seventeen
or eighteen-is Belle Bennett, daugh-
ter of the proprietor of the show.
The couple went to Nagers livery
stable and hired a team, driving to
Little Falls. At that city they regis
tered at the Antlers hotel as husband
and wife, using an assumed name. but
Sheriff Tanner, who had been notified,
located them at the hotel early in the
evening. The father and mother of the
girl drove to Little Falls and took
charge of their daughter. Silver will be
held on charge of abduction.

HOKE SMITH FIGHTS TO KILL HUSBANDS
Has a Fierce Encounter in a
Court House.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 28-Ex-Sec-
rotary of the Interior Hoke Smith and
Attorney D. w. Rountree engaged in
a bloody fight in the United States
court room this afternoon. Smith and
Rountree are opposing counsel in a
case on trial before Judge Newman.
Smith made statement that Rountree
construed into a reflection on himself.
Immediately Rountree sprang at Smith
and struck him in the face. Smith re-
taliated, and for several minutes they
dealt blows that drew blood and left
bruises. The court officials tried in vain
to separate the Infatuated men.
Finally Smith, who is a powerful
man physically, clinched with Roun-
tree, lifted him from his feet and hurl-
ed him against a radiator some ten
feet away. The shock partly stunned
kountree, and Smith did not renew his
attack. The faces of both men are
badly battered. Friends will try to
prevent renewal Of the difficulty.

Anti Roosevelt Republicans
Favor His Nomination.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Mr. Payne
said at the Holland house that he wish
ed to reiterate statement that he has
frequently made of late, to-wit If
Roosevelt is nominated for president
next year he will lose the state Of New
York by 100000 plurality
Many Republicans discussed yester-
day, but declined to give their views
for publication, the statement made in
high political circles that If things con-
tinue to drift as they are in the Re-
publican party the availability of Pres
ident Roosevelt for the nomination
next year will be very greatly ques-
toned in the Republican national con-
vention, and it was said more pointedly
than ever yesterday that Senator Mar
Gus A Hanna cannot by interviews or
letters, or anything he may say or
write, stop the boom for himself which
was precipitated on the night the polls
closed in Ohio, Nov. 8, when that tre-
medous plurality of 114,000 was piled
UP for the Republican candidate for
governor, Col Myron T. Herrick.
Many Republicans are beginning to
doubt the advisability of nominating
President Roosevelt, and yet the same
number of Republicans doubt the adj
visibility of nominating Senator Hanna
for the presidency. Republicans say
that the Roosevelt administration at
Washington, and the Hanna folks, who
are close to the Roosevelt adminiStra-
ton, would not in any way raise q
finger against the nomination of John
Hay, secretary Of state,the man who has
steered the United States. Indeed. Re-
publicans said yesterday that there was
more in this Hay business than some
would think at first blush.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 28.-
President Roosevelt has called off
Senator Fairbanks from any further
overtures looking to a meeting of the
joint high commission or the negotia-
ton Of Canadian reciprocity treaty
before the presidential election. Until
recent conference, in which the pres
ident, Secretary Hay and Senator
Fairbanks took part the Indiana SEN
ator, as chairman of the American
branch of the commission, was in live
ly communication with Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, Canadian premier. He was
assured last summer by Laurier that
after the adjournment of the Canadian
parliament he would be glad to discuss
the date for the reassembling of the
commission. All this was promised on
the settlement of the Alaska boundary
dispute, which had proved a stumbling
block to the success of previous eff
forts to negotiate a reciprocal treaty
President Roosevelt is not opposed
to Canadian reciprocity, but he con-
siders the present no time for discus

should be emphasized, the president
thinks, on the eve of a national cam
paign.
He has been confirmed in this belief
by the new position taken by the house
Democrats, under the leadership of
Williams, who are standing on the
ground abandoned by the Republicans
and are demanding that the Republic
ans show why they have not acted up
to their professed beliefs. An exami-
nation Of the files of the secretary of
state or the correspondence of Senator
Fairbanks would show that it is not
true, as stated on the floor of the house
by Chairman Payne, of the ways and
means committee, that no reply was
received to the overtures of Senator
Fairbanks. Neither is it true that the
reason for the failure to take UP the
subject is "the soreness felt on the
other side of the line, resulting from
the recent adverse boundary decision"
The Canadian soreness is known here
to be directed chiefly toward the
mother country, and the majority of
Canadians are known to be in excel
lent mood to draw closer the CONNER
eial ties with their nearer neighbors.
The real reason why the joint high ne
gotiations are not pushed at this time
Is that already set forth and the adj
ditional fact that the presidential ad-
visers believe it would accentuate the
demands which are to be made by the
Democrats for tariff revision.

not finch when the physicians probed

fact and the additional discovery that

At first it was supposed that Speaker
Cannon would fill all the vacancies in

to delegate the choice IF minority COM

is final with Cannon and it has done no
good for STEVENSON and others to urge

no single state shall have more than
one member on a committee, and Lind
has thus taken precedence over one or
