NORTH DAKOTA SAFE.
Presidents Reference to Irrigation
Delights Republicans of That State.

Bismarck. y. D.. July % (SpeciaD.-The Re-
publicans OF this State rejoiced at the Presi-
dents reference to irrigation in his speech OF
acceptance. They have always regarded the
Fansbrough Irrigation bill as a giant stride
toward the establishment Of genuine home
makers on the great arid and seTni-arid domain
Of the West, and also as in a measure a nonu-
ment to their own State from the fact that it
was drafted and its enactment secured by their
senior Senator. whose name II bears. North Da-
kota also claims President Roosevelt as one Of
Its citizens, basing that claim on his residence
on his North Dakota ranch. and for that reason
his reference. which shows his appreciation OF
the great work begun in his administration, is
especially appreciated.
Ever since the Democratic National Conven-
ton made an ambiguous reference to irrigation
inspired doubtless. by Senator Newlands which
is calculated to misIead those who are not IA
miliar with the facts. North Dakota Republicans
have been up in arms. and in their State con-
vention. last week, they adopted platform
which contained the following.
We commend the Democracy for their generous
f PFe7slo9s OF approval OF The patriotic work Of
ican leaders who dead but we Seriously OBJ
tect TO the policy inaugurated st. Louis where
9y the democratic National Convention sought TO
deprive the administration of President Roosevelt
81 4 any credit Tor its work in the passage Of the
LansoroIsh irrigation law. This legislation was
enacted In lS92. under a Republican President and
10y a EepuPiIcan senate and House OF Representa-
ives the Dill having been drawn, introduced and
managed by Mr.. Hansbrough in the Senate. and
Wlen Il reached the House Of Representatives Mr..
Monds4i (kepublcan). OF Wyoming. took charge Of
II and secured its passage by that body. 1t was
law.
There IS no statute law applicable 10 such a
inert as was perpetrated by the Democracy at St.
Louis. but the moral obligation to protect the Re
publican national administration from the political
craftsman rests upon every Republican in the
land and particularly upon this convention.
The sentiment IN this section is so strong for
Roosevelt that 1T may almost be said TO be
unanimous. 1t is safe to predict that North
Dakota Will give a larger Republican majority
this year than ever before. and from all that can
be gathered from the surrounding States the
same is true Of them

GETTING READY FOR
RUSSIAN EXHIBIT
UP TO THE PRESENT TIME 1888
CARLOADS OF EXHIBITS HAVE
PASSED INTO WORLDS FAIR
GROUNDS.

St. Louis, May 9-(World's Fair
in any of the worlds fair buildings that
is not occupied, with the exception of the
reservations for exhibits from Russia
and Argentine republic, according to the
statement of Director of Exhibits Skiff
Argentine's exhibits are en- route to St.
Louis, and the exposition management
was notified by cable only last Saturday
that Russia would finally participate with
exhibits. Workmen were put to work to-
day in the varied industries building to
prepare the space allotted to Russia and
have it in readiness for quick installation
of the exhibits.
The first carload of exhibits to reach
the worlds fair for installation was the
Pennsylvania postoffice car, which was
delivered at the grounds on October 20,
1908. From that time until 7 o'clock this
morning, 1888 cars of exhibits had been
delivered within the worlds fair enclos
ure Almost 1000 cars are still expected.
Traffic Manager C. L. hilleary of the
exposition made the statement that while
the total number of cars of exhibits Is
less than the total number delivered to
the Colombia exposition the capacity OF
freight cars has been trebled over the ca
pacity of cars of eleven years ago, and
consequently a larger amount of exhibits
has been installed in the Louisiana Puf-
chase exposition than was installed at
the former. The board of lady managers,
which has been in daily session for
week, held it's final meeting today and
adjourned until July IA.

LAST NOTE ON ACRE DISPUTE

Washington, May 9.-The Associated
Press was furnished tonight by the Bra
lillian charge d d'affaires his legations final
rejoinder to the Peruvian legation re-
garding the Acre dispute. The rejonder
of Brazil reasserts that Peru, when she
adopted by the treaty of 1851 the princi-
pie of Uu Possdetis, recognized the
right of Brazil to the territories In the
Alta Yurua and Alta Purus. Further
more, 1t is said Peru further recognized
Brazirs rights by the treaty of 1851, when
1t was explicitly stipulated that the boun-
dary line should not go any further in
the south than the river Yam Way The
statement then says:
Notwithstanding this, Brazil, acting in
fair and friendly spirit. always has been
disposed to admit and reserve the claim
of Peru, especially in very formal way
in the treaty of Petropolic of November
last settling our dispute with Bolivia.
But between allowing a claim and recog-
nizing a right there is a great difference.
The admission of the claim is on the part
of Brazil proof of good will, but it does
not preclude the assertion of her right,
recognized by Peru. and still less does 1t
imply any recognition of right in behalf
of Peru.
Going still further, Brazil doing honor
to her traditions, and the prescription of
her constitution, has always shown her
readiness to submit the dispute to arbi-
tration On two elementary and usual
conditions she has made known the pre-
sentation for discussion Of the titles on
which Peru bases her claim in order to
seek, first, a direct agreement. and the
evacuation of the territory unlawfully oc-
cupied by Peru There is, therefore, nc
exacuon on the part of Brazil"

Che Foo, May 10.-Passengers arriving
today from New Chwang say that the
Russian force probably evacuated that
place during the night.
Many had already departed yesterday
and those remaining made no secret of
their intention to leave. There is no ae-
tivity whatever at the forts, where there
are still guns In operation. Three thous"
and bandits are camped outside of the
walls of New Chwang ready to begin
looting at the moment the last of the
Russian soldiers have left the city.
There are many foreign camp followers
with the bandits, who are giving the
Russians much trouble along the rail-
road between New Chwang and Mukden.
Last week they destroyed a culvert and
delayed traffic for four days. The Jap
anese fleet was in force off Port Arthur
at midday Monday, but did not make
any hostile demonstration.

DIVORCE QUESTION UP

Los Angeles, Cal, May 9.-The attl-
tude of the Roman Catholic church to-
ward the public school system of the
United States furnished the subject of
sensational debate In the Methodist
general conference today. While there
was a strong disposition on the part of
certain delegates to have the conference
adopt resolutions committing 1t to ex-
treme utterances upon the subject, there
was an overwhelming sentiment as 1t de-
veloped against any such action, and
the entire matter was finally disposed Of
by referring 1t to a committee from
which 1t is unlikely ever to be reported.
Several other resolutions bearing upon
the subjects of divorce. the termination
of membership of neglectful members.
Sunday closing of the Lewis and Clarke
lean university at Washington, the
changes In the wording of various para
graphs in the discipline and other mat
ters of Importance to Methodists were
submitted and debated by several com
mittees
Rev. R. F. Bishop presented resolu-
tion to make certain changes In the dis
ctpline that would provide more simple
method of terminating the membership
of persons living in ehabitual neglect
of their obligations to the church"
1t was referred to the committee on the
state of the church.
Judge Sibley of Ohio. offered ar i'm
portant resolution on the subject of di-
vorce. He wanted paragraph 80 of the
discipline changed as follows:
mo divorce, except for adultery final
desertion or cruelty or neglect, such as
to compel an innocent partner to separate
from the offender, shall be regarded by
the church as morally lawful. and none
of our ministers or laymen shall solemn
ize marriages where there is a divorced
wife or husband living. unless the divorce
was granted upon grounds hereinbefore
specified. But this regulation does not
apply in cases where divorced parties
are seeking remarriage."
This resolution was also referred to the
committee on the state OF the church
1t is learned tonight that the sub-com-
mittee on the effectiveness of bishops,
reported today In favor of the retirement
OF at least four of the present bishops.
These will be, 1t is said by prominent
leader in the church councils, Bishops
Andrews, aged 79; Malalieu, 70, and
Walden and Vincent, 49, Bishop Andrews
is about the same age as Bishop Merrill
who has asked to be retired. If this
forecast Is correct, at least seven new
bishops will be elected by the present
general conference. No action was taken
on the sub-committe report pending the
report of the subcommittee on age

Democrats Have Good Chance.

Former commissioner of internal reve-
nue., Miller of West Virginia. thinks the
democrats have a good opportunity to
carry his state this fall. The republi-
cans, he says are in a pretty row and
badly devided into factions over the CUB
ernatorial ticket. The rival candidates
are w. o. Dawson and c. e. sTeter. In
dications now point to the nomination of
the former.
He has recently carried several of the
larger counties by methods of gross fraud.
according to the complaint made by
the opposing faction The republicans
are depending upon carrying the state
on the negro vote and the iu9ux from
Pennsylva MA of fhreign s,opdiatton.
The West Virginia delegates to the st.

vote for the nomination of Senator Cor
