CHAIRMAN HANNA REPORTS
ON CONDITIONS EXISTING
About 7S,O 900 Votes Are Reported
In the State and IS Per Gent Are
Republicans Senator Mccumber's
Re-EIection Is Assured.

Washington, Oct. 25.-1he following
statements regarding the republican
prospects were received from North Da-
kota and Minnesota by the national re-
publican committee:
Grand Forks, Oct. 23, I9o4.-So far
as we are able to judge of the campaign
in this state from the present outlook it
will be as follows:
We estimate that there arc between
10000 and $4,000 votes i'll this state this
year, an increase of about 10000 in the
u1ting strength. Sixty-fve per cent at
least will be cast for Roosevelt and Fair
banks. The state ticket and the CON
gressmen who are elected at large, will
probably be from 5000 to 1000 votes
behind the electoral ticket We expect
to carry the legislature in both branches
by at least twptthirds vote, thereby
lnsuring the return of Senator P. J.
McCumber
There is a great lack of enthusiasm
among all classes in this state, caused
by the lateness of the season and the un-
,seasonable weather, but our people are
waking up now and from now on we
shall have spirited campaign in the
state L. B. Hanna, Chairman.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct 23, 1oo4.---
TO state that Minnesota will go re-
publican this fall is almost equal to the
declaration that the Dutch have taken
Holland" We will elect the national
and state tickets by majority of not
less than $4,000, and elect solid repub-
lican delegation to congress

London, Oct. 25.-Count Bencken-

Count Lamsdorff to the Russo Japan

that Count Benckendorff was deeply
hurt by last, nights demonstration.
After escaping from the. hostile crowd
that met him at the station, he drove
at a gallop to the embassy Half a

Boulder Creek, Oct. 25.-Tourists ON
their way to the State Park in four

death on the Waterman Creek grade

hunter near by frightened the horses
and the animals plunged forward, pub

Along the edge OF a frightful preci-
pice dashed the horses. The vehicle
was tossed about like cork in the
ocean. Death to the tourists seemed

Suddenly the, speed of the horses
was checked. From their mad gallop
they settled into a steady trot With
prayer of tllankfulness. the tourists
leaped from the four -in-hand and one
OF them made grasp for the reins.
Then they saw to what was due their
safety. Il was the drivers dog. &
The animal had leaped from the rig
with his master. s He was standing
near the wheel when the horses start
ed. When the reins fell he graspcd
them in his mouth and. though dragged
over the rough and rocky road, held
on. The weight Of the dogs body and
the strength with which the canine
pulled on the reins was felt by the
horses, and as they got over their
fright they yielded to the pressure.

SECRETARY SHAW'S OPINION.
France viii Not Object to Work on
Panama Canal.

washington. March 10.-Socretary Shaw
is of the opinion that France will not OBJ
iect to the United States proceeding with
The work of the Panama canal even
though the legal details are not entirely
completed in courts across the water.
As long as France knows that We are
ready to pay the amount stipulated When-
ever the courts render their decision as to
the proper owners of the property SAID
The secretary Il do not see how she
could have any objections to our going
ahead with the work whenever we please
under our treaty with Panama. The leSa.
tangle they have got into over this may
take q long time to Straighten out. But
| don't see why we should be concerned
In that any more than We are over the
merits of the claims of the old canal
Company now. or any more than we
sbalild have been before the steals by
which the people of France were plum
dered of 100000 OOO
DIR. Wayne MacVeagh is anxious that
we go back to the rights of the case ana
see that the stockholders who Were ron
bed be reimbursed. but l cannot see how
we can do that. We would get ourselves
into a mess that it would be impossible
eyer to get out of. This is honest money
that is going to be paid for the canal. and
when we get it we will spend more honest
money to complete the work.
