AN OVATION FOR DUNN
Redwood County Republicans Give
Him Royal Welcome at
the Court House.
An Immense Crowd Wildly Cheer
Remarks by Him and
Mr.. Stevens.

1t was an ovation-the kind that
is sincere, substantial and determ-
ined-that was given Hon. Robert
G. Dunn, the Republican candidate
for governor, and Hon. Fred. G..
Stevens. representative in congress
from the Fourth Minnesota district.
at the court house Monday night.
The audience was enthusiastic from
post to finish. The applause that
punctured the remarks made by
both gentlemen was as if sent from
a rapid-fre gun, so effective was
the eloquence of Mr.. Stevens and
the business like statements of Mr..
Dunn.
The court house was packed.
Ladies mingled with the voters and
.applauded the speakers quite as
freely as the men. The national
coIors were neatly displayed about
the hall, while portraits of the ma
tional and state candidates were in
evidence.
Messrs. Dunn and Stevens were
met at the St. Louis depot by the
members of the county committee
and the state committeeman from
the seventh congressional district,
Immediately upon the arrival of the
afternoon train. The North Red
wood band was present and played
several selections. A large num-
Der of North Redwood and Renville
county citizens were also present
and the two speakers were given a
hearty greeting from all sides and
a few remarks were made to the
crowd. Then the party was driven

Mr.: Dunn s remarks replying to
Mr.. Lind were received with re-
peated plaudits by the audience and
apparently were convincing to ev-
erybody present. He then took up
some OF the other happenings of his
official career.
Mr.. Dunn reviewed at length the
board of control system, which, in a
great measure, was legislative crea-
ton of his own suggestion, and as ear
~ as 1898 he recommended in his re-
port to the 1899 legislature that a COM
m1ttee be recommended to investigate
the feasibility of such a board. To the
1901 session he renewed the recommen-

Only about $50 Congressman
are reported guilty Of irregular
meddling with post-offices. But
there are eight other Depart
ments to be heard from. Let us
reform it altogether--this vi
cious practise of Congressman
working for relatives and heelers
to whom they are under Obliga-
ton, and paying them with
government favors. Congress-
men are sent to Washington, not
as special attorneys to forward
private interests, but to deli
berate and decide great national
policies. They must not be
permitted to waste their vital
energies in promoting the petty
purposes of individuals. Those
who do, must be superseded by
stronger men. Let the word

FIGHT ON IN BRiMSTONE.
Producers in Louisiana to Compete
with Sicilian Importers.

New York. June 22.-The producers
of birthstone in Louisiana propose
hencefOrth to compete actively for bus
mess in the principal markets of the
United States, and if possible to sup
plant the Sicilan importers who have
hitherto practically controlled this
trade. This is due to the increase in
production in the South and the more
favorable freight rates which the pro-
ducers have been able to obtain from
the transportation companies.
The consumption of birthstone in the
United States and in other countries
as we'll has been steadily increasing in
the last few years, but the production
in Sicily has also increased, and at
the end of the first half of last month
the accumulated stocks in that coun-
| try We're 2S9,000 tons. The Anglo -Si-
Gillian Company, which has controlled
| the market, has refused to make price
concessions, relying on the increasing
demand to consume the existing sur
plus, but it is predicted that this new
| competition may have some effect on
prices. The first shipment of conSe-
quence TO the North has just arrived
| in New York-three thousand tons.

FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Said Gen. kuropatkin Has Important
Move in Prospect.

London, June 22.-Special dispatches
from Liao-Yang announce that Gen.
kuropatkin is personally superintend-
ing preparations for a new develop
ment, and fighting is reported south of
kinchow, where he is at present pre-
sumably with the main Russian army.
This, in the view Of the Daily Tele-
graph, may mean that:
"kurOpatkin, like a desperate gamb-
Ter. feels that nothing remains to him
but to stake all upon the last wild fling
of the iron dice"
The Telegraph takes what may be
considered an extreme view. saying:
We can no longer doubt that one
objectionable and irreparable mis-
take has swept the Russian position
into the gulf of disaster. With further
light thrown upon the battle of Wafan-
gov Tuesday morning, Gen. Stakel-
berg's defeat proves to have been as
ruinous in its character as seems more
and more likely TO be fatal in its i'm
pending consequences.
From Gen. Oku's dispatches to To-
kio there is now every reason to be-
lieve that the Russian losses in last
weeks fighting, counting the killed and
wounded and prisoners, amounted To
no less than 10000 men, about a quar-
ter of their total force engaged.
1t is hard to avoid the conviction
that the greater part of StakelberS =
laCerated forces will never again join
hands with kurOpatkin, and the ques-
! ton Is whether their fate is not already
foreshadowed by the fighting on even a
wider and bloodier scale than that Of
| WafangOw which is reported to be
raging round Kaiping.
"All the probabilities are that if the
japanese are able to strike hard and
| strike swift in this, as in all previous
emergencies, the result of the second
and most terrible catastrophe will leave
| KuroDatkin too weak to hold his pres
| ent base and an attempt to retreat to
! Harbin may come before the fall of
| Port Arthur.
But whether Gen. KurOki and the
| First Japanese army will not have clos
ed upon the Russian rear in the mean
| time is another and very mOmentOus
| question. Mo Tien pass may be- turned
| and seized at any moment.
"A distinguished French military
critic. very friendly to Russia, has been
deploring Kuropatkin's action in COM
mitting the crudeSt of all stragetical
bunders in making up n large army
into small pickets and inviting the Jap
anese to pocket them in detail.
The situation in Manchuria contains
all the conditions of the most rapid
military collapse since Jena, when af-
ter the Russian defeat the garrisons
and fortresses in all directions fell OF
themselves into the conquerer's hands
Gen. KurOpatkin's position. i'm a
word. is like that of Il man who delb-
eratcly undermines the foundation OF
his own house and continues living in
the third story"
