SPARRING FOR POINTS
RUSSIA AND JAPAN
Both Talk Peace While Preparation
for War Go On With Visor.

TOXIC, Japan. Jan. IA high
Japanese government official today
made the statement that the belief in
official circles is that war with Russia
will be averted. He said that con-
cessions have been made on both
sides If Russia insists on a neutral
but Japan intimated to Russia that
she is ready to recognize Russian trad
ing concessions in Korea providing
they are entirely without political sig
nificance. The negotiations have
reached the point where a peaceful or
hostile settlement is only few days
Off If Russia insists on a neutral
zone war is inevitable. If she aban-
dons it peace will be practically assur-
ed. Japan expects a cOnciliatOry re-
ply from Russia.
LONDON, Jan. 14.-Japan's reply to
Russia's last note is a modification
ter Hayashi. who received a copy of
the text today. Japan inists, however,
upon Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria
and Japan's sphere Of influence in Ko-
rea. Practically the relations between
Russia and Japan are unchanged.
Hayashi believes the negotiations are
liable to be prolonged.
PORT SAID. Jan. 1.-THE Japanese
cruiser Nishin. which with the cruisef
KAsaga, was recently purchased from
Argentine. arrived at the entrance of
Suez canal today. The Kasaga started

the course Of the union, bands in de-
handing compensation if they serve on
Memorial day. the committee in charge
of the ceremonies having decided that
uni,n bands will not be engaged. Mr..
Chidester says:
Each year one band has been engaged
by the G. A. r. committee to head the
parade, for. which the union scale of So
per man has been paid without contro-
versy. In accordance with this CUSTOM
the managers Of the different bands in
the city again presented to the music
committee their proposition for the cele-
bration to be held this year, and we are
now ridiculed and cenSured for our lack
of patriotism in soliciting legitimate bust
ness. ''N
If the Fort Smelling band is to escort
the United States soldiers at Fort Smelling
in the parade, and is not engaged by the
G. A. r. committee for compensation
there is nothing prohibiting union mu-
sicians from participating in the same
parade.
For the past few years the Postoff1ce
band has headed the poStoffice employees
in the paradeson Decoration day free Of
charge, but as there is now less than a
dozen in the band connected with the
postal service, they were not in a posi-
ton this year to offer to play free of
charge, as it would be necessary to en-
gage other union musicians at the reg
ular scale to reinforce the band to it's
proper Instrumentation.

MILLER ABOUT READY
TO CONTEST M'CLEARY.
Luverne Editor Is Looked Upon as
Z Congressional Timber in the Second.

While it is conceded by his friends
that delay is dangerous and that the
time is now pretty short to perfect the
organization necessary to make a cred
1table showing against a congressman
having a perfect organization in his
district, 1t is generally understood that
II. J. Miller, the Luverne editor, will
within few days make formal an
nouncement of his candidacy for con-
gress in the Second Minnesota dis
trict.
I have no authority for speaking,
but 1 am quite sure from the general
impression that prevails throughout
the district Miller will get into the con-
test" said Senator George W. Som
merV1lle, at the Windsor hotel last
night. Almost everybody down our
way expects Miller to become a candi-
date and will be disappointed if he re-
fuses to make the race"
Senator Sommerville has been urged
by many of his friends to become a
candidate for McCleary's berth, but
mas steadfastly refused. 1t is known,
however, that he will be a hearty sup
porter of the Rock county editor when
he makes his announcement

SOUTH ST. PAUL
BUTCHERS STRIKE
Men in Pork Department of
Swift & Company's Plant
Walk Out.

Because ]. S. Bangs, manager of
Swift & Co.'S plant at South st. Paul,
refused to dismiss a nonunion butcher
who was employed in the pork depart
ment, 229 union butchers went out on
a strike yesterday at noon. The men
say that they will not return till the
man has been put out, and the manage
ment. insisted yesterday that he would
remain.
j. S. Bangs said yesterday that the
trouble only concerned the men in the
pork department, and that he did not
think the strike would extend to the
other departments.
The strikers are members of the
Amalgamated Butchers and Meat Cut
ters' Union of America, which was or
ganized last year, and which includes
all the butchers at the South st. Paul
plant. The union was formally reeog-
nized a year ago, when schedules were
adopted and the packing plants of Chi
cago, Omaha and South ST. Paul were
placed under union regulation.
The local union has a membership of
1900, all of whom are employed at
South st. Paul, and if the trouble in
the pork department is not adjusted
within few days a general strike may
occur.

POLITICIANS GUESS
AT EDDY'S STRENGTH
Broad Claims of GIenwood
Man Look Too Large
to Many.

Frank M. Eddy's strength in the
counties comprising his old congress
sional district-the Seventh-in the
Republican gubernatorial convention,
is just now the subject of a great deal
of speculation on the part of the poll
ticians interested in the outcome of the
fight.
Eddy makes quite broad claims of
having nearly everything in his old
district, but refuses to specify as to
the probable number of his delegates
He says that he will have a couple Of
hundred of the nearly twelve hundred
who will gather in ST. Paul June 80 to
make nomination of a state ticket,
but there are Republican leaders in
the western part of the state who in
sist that the Glenwood man is putting
his figures too high. One man said
yesterday, in speaking of Eddy's prob
able vote in the convention:
Frank M. Eddy will have his home
county of Pope, the delegations from
Douglas-in his own senatorial dis
trict-Swift, Grant, Stevens, possibly
Big Stone and Traverse, and that is
about all. He will have scattering
votes from other counties in his sec
ton of the state, and occasionally one
here and there in Southern Minnesota,
but Eddy will not come to the conven-
vention with more delegates than fifty.
Seventy-five will be his outside fig
ure."
E. T. Young, one of the candidates
for attorney general, came down from
his home at Appleton yesterday and is
mingling with the politicians at the ST.
Paul hotels. Young processes to be
we'll satisfied with the situation as re-
CARDS his candidacy, but says that the
great majority of Republicans are so
involved in the gubernatorial nominal
ton that they cannot be interested in
the claims of candidates for places be-
low the head of the ticket.
II have Travelled very little through
the state" Mr.. Young said last night,
for I find it hard to make an impress
sion. l have kept in touch with my
friends through the state by means
of correspondence, and-that is about
all there is left for candidate for a
less prominent place on the ticket than
governor to do in this campaign
Young and Eddy are from the same
senatorial district, and some of their
friends say that their interests natu-
rally conflict to degree. Both were
present at a Norwegian independence

IGNORE THE EXPENSE
County Commissioners Pay
Their Good Money for Ride.

The board of county commissioners
spent the day yesterday out in the
Mounds View district looking at roads
which Commissioners Powers would like
10 nave repaired at the expense Of the
county The trip was made in a three
seated carriage, which the commits
sloners paid for from their own pock-
cts, County Attorney Kane having held
that there is no law which authorizes
the members of the board to hire car
r1ages at the expense of the county. 1t
is the first time in the history of the
county that the members of the board
have ever had to pay for their carriage
hire, and as a result fewer trips of in
speetion are being made into the coun-
try.
Yesterdays trip through the Mounds
View district is said to have resulted
in some of the commissioners chang
ing their views regarding the needs Of
the roads out in Mr.. Powers district,
and at the next meeting of the board
the Mounds View member expects to
secure some of the. appropriations he
has been trying for without success
for several weeks.

MRS. F. H. HAMMOND
DIES AT SISTERS HOME
Spokane Woman, Formerly of ST. Paul,
Passes Away.

Mrs. Frank H. Hammond, of Spokane,
Wash, died suddenly Thursday morn
ing of heart failure at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Joseph N. Savard, 5S5 Mis-
sissippi street.
Mrs. Hammond, formerly Miss Stella
Caron, of st. Paul, was thirty years
old. Her husband is a conductor en-
ployed by the Oregon Railway G. Nav
igation company. They have two chill
dren.

was performed at st. Joseph's hospital
Tuesday morning by DR.. Schweizer

Savard was reported in a favorable
state yesterday the result of the long
and difficult operation must remain
temporarily doubtful.

FAIR VISITORS SEE
HEALTHY CITY EXHIBIT
ST. Paul Health Department Display
Now Ready in st. Louis.

F. w. Danes, of the health depart
ment, has returned from ST. Louis,
where he spent some time superintend-
ing the placing of the health depart
ment display. A. j. Wallace, also con-
nected with the department, arrived in
st. Louis before Danes started home,
and is now in charge of the St Paul
health exhibit.
THE display of the st. Paul health
department certainly eclipses anything
of the kind at the fair that comes from
though the exhibits of some of the
foreign countries are superior in many
ways. The public baths and the low
death rate attract much attention from
the visitors. The Twin City building
will be completed in a few days, and
the exhibit of the cities viii be placed
as soon as possible"

CHIEF DEPUTY .REICHOW
WANTS JUSTUS' BERTH
Announces His Intention to Seek Re-
publican Nomination.

Charles Refchow, the chief deputy
under Sheriff Philip c. Justus, yester-
day made good his threat to become a
bona fide candidate for sheriff, and
placed on file with County Auditor
Krahmer a certificate stating that he
is candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for sheriff of Ramsey county.
The chief deputy's action can be re-
garded as nothing short of lese majestic,
for the sheriff is himself a candidate to
succeed himself, though he has not
thought it necessary to make an Of
fetal declaration of the fact with the
county auditor. The unusual situation
of having two candidates for the same
place, living and abiding daily in the
same office, naturally causes some COM
ment in court house circles, and it will
surprise no one If the tension is re-
lieved by the retirement of one of the
candidates.

TEXT BOOK AGENTS
PROMISE SURPRISES
Hint That Startling Offers May
Be Made at Committee
Meeting.

The meeting Of the text book commit
tee of the board Of school inspectors this
afternoon will likely result in some live
ly tits between the representatives of
the book concerns, as the representatives
of the American Book company have been
on hand for some weeks, and are appar-
emily firm in the belief that they will be
able to carry off the contract, as they
did three years ago.
The members Of the committee have
not announced the policy that they will
pursue in the hearing, but it is expected
that the arguments by the agents of the
company will be made in public, in view
of the general interest that is being taken
in the subject. The representatives of
the so-ealled independent companies will
doubtless ask to be present at the entire
hearing, some Of the representatives hav-
ing told members of the board of educa-
ton that there will be some startling
offers made at the meeting.
The struggle of three years ago led
to a widespread discussion regarding the
practice of changing text books, and a
strong effort has been made this year to
impress the school authorities with the
necessity of still further changes. This
has been done by agents of the trust and
of the independent companies, it appar-
entity having been agreed that changes
will be of more benefit to the companies
than the retention of the books now in
use.
Profit in School Books.
Inspector Rogers told T h e Clio b of
a pc Rliar experience he had Tuesday
with The agent of one of the companies.
He said:
Il met the fellow in the office of the
superintendent of schools, and he was
particularly anxious that his grammar
book should be used in the public schools,
and he made a peculiar argument in
favor of such a course. He said that
few years ago the book was issued by
an unknown house without capital, but
that in a short time it had been so sue
ceSSful that there are millions behind the
publication now. l told him that I
thought his assertions a fairy story, but
and the inference was that there is an
immense profit in publishing school
books"
Inspector Lindahl favors free text
books, and is expected to make an effort
to secure their adoption. 1t is not con-
sidered likely that he will be successful
as several members Of the board and the
school superintendent are opposed to the
plan
1.-The trust has all the best of the stu
alton unless there is a strong fight" said
a former member of the school board, "as
this concern has been in possession for
the past ten years and knows every foot
of the ground. 1t is such powerful cor
poration that it is able to maintain
agents at all times in each large city, and
through these close tab is kept on every
thing occurring. They are therefore
ready for such contests as the one that
is now in progress. My prediction is that
the trust will win, as it will not hesitate
as to means used to accomplish its pur-

outcome, saying afterwards:
This leaves the situation in such
shape that it viii be possible to proceed
at any time. There is reason to believe
that the street railway company will bring
another suit in the near future, as the

stated that the father ran away, de-
serting the family, more than six years
ago. Mrs. Veitch made the applica-
ton to have the children committed to
the state school. but since the grand
mother of the little ones is willing to
care for them, it is~likely she may be
permitted to do SO.
