GETS EMPTY GLORY
Spain Gets But Little by Treaty
With France

PARIS, June 4.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of the Petit Parisien afirms
that he has obtained from Spanish
statesman the lines of a treaty which
soon viii be signed between France
and Spain, as follows:
The signatory governments do net
purpose to change the political status
in Morocco, but to define their re-
spective spheres of influence in Accord
ance with the terms of the Anglo-
French entente.
Spain adheres to the Anglo-French
agreement. especially in regard to the
thirty-year period of free trade and tha
prohibition against the erection of for
tif1cations. France recognizes Spain's
right to maintain order in Northern
Morocco from the left bank of the
Moulouya river to the right bank OF
the Sebou river, extending inland to
the lesser Atlas range and to the right
bank of the Kouss river Details OF
the boundary shall be settled later.
Tangier, Arzila and Larache shall re-
main free ports.
The statesman revealing the secret
declares that the treaty is deplorable,
giving Spain an empty glory without
a practical advance.

came evident that the new combination

original Lowden men, for the most
part, remained firm and went to de-

completed Lowden moved to make the
nomination unanimous, and Chairman

All of the pent-up enthusiasm of the
delegates manifested itself as Deneen
came to the platform and thanked the

address, pledging his support to the
ticket.
The parties to the combination which
had nominated Deneen met at the ex-

for lieutenant governor; James A.

EVELETH, Minn., June 3.-After a
bloody and desperate battle with a mob
of over zoe furious mine strikers. in
which half a dozen of the disturbers
We're seriously wounded, Sheriff Butch
art and his deputies today effected a
temporary cessation Of hostilfties at
the Fayal mine, and the officers return
ed to Duluth this afternoon
The trouble, which has been brewing
for several days, broke out today, and
the struggle which ensued between the
strikers and the officers was desperate.
AS result two men lie in a serious
condition at the Eveleth hospital, one
with a bullet wound in his head which
may cause his. death, and several 9TH
ers received severe injuries.
"A fight between a Finn and an ItaI-
ian was primarily the cause of the fight
today. The men were former employees
of Drake & Stratton, and a contro-
versy arose between them which cul-
minated in a hand to- hand conflict
Sheriff Butchart and his deputies tried
to separate the men. One of the fight
ers pulled gun on Deputy Horigan
but when the latter pulled his the man
surrendered and was arrested.
This was the signal for a general at
tack on the officers, and the strikers,
already in the highest pitch of rage
and excitement, fell upon their vic
TINS. Over fifty shots were fired, and
knives, clubs and stones were resorted
to by the strikers. AS the latter were
scattered over a wide area of land,
while the officers kept together, none
of the deputies was wounded
AS soon as the mob realized that the
officers had prepared themselves well
for the emergency by bringing along
an ample supply of weapons and am
munition, they gradually withdrew,
scattering over the surrounding fields,
while some retired to the city. The Of
ffcers did not pursue, but returned
with their prisoner to the county Jail.
Again gathering their forces, the
strikers marched to the Jail and de-
manded that the prisoner be given up
to them. They did not resort to vio-
lence this time, but their request for
the liberation of the prisoner grew
more and more urgent and threatening,
and finally, despite the protests of
Sheriff Butchart, the mayor ordered
that he be released. This was practi-.
cally the end of the disturbance today,
but 1t is believed that it may break out
anew in the morning and the officers
may have to return.

Mr.. SHOOK ISS ZEN
Secretary Taft Doesn't Want
Him Back In the Army

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 3.-Sec-
retary Taft today decided to recon-
mend to the president that John M.
Shook be not reinstated in .the army,
as requested by all the members of the
Kansas delegation in congress. Shook
was formerly of the Thirty-third VOL
unteer infantry in the Philippines.
Afterwards he was appointed a Sec
Ond lieutenant in the regular army.
While stationed at Boston he was
tried by court-martial in case in
volving scandal, but was acquitted.
When he was examined for promotion
the board of examination reported that
he was morally and physically unfit to
be made first lieutenant, and he was
discharged from the service.
When Secretary Taft examined the
case he recalled that Shook, while in
the Philippines, was involved with
one Leama in a case which caused the
latter's dismissal as secretary of the
province Of Batan, the charge being
that $500 was extorted from an old
women by threats of these men.

ELIXIR MAKES GOOD
Woman Drinks 1t and Keeps
Seven Policemen Busy

NEW YORK, June 3.-The use of
some remarkable stimulant, the nature
of which has not been learned, caused
a strange scene in Sixth avenue. From
a bottle, the label Of which marked it
as containing an elixir of youth, the
dose being one tablespoonful every two
hours, a woman of evident refinement
and about forty years old, took a long
drink while standing on the sidewalk
near Ffftieth street. Her peculiar ac-
uons attracted the attention of a large
crowd, which soon grew to such pro-
portions that the police reserves had
to be called to clear the street car
tracks.
The "elixir" was wonder worker.
Five minutes after drinking the dose
the woman began to caper about like
a child. She danced to the music Of
a street piano, played hide and seek
and exhibited all the antics of a child.
When the police arrived she beat one
of them and exhibited remarkable
strength. 1t required seven officers to
overcome the woman and she was car
ried to the hospital, where doubts are
expressed as to her recovery.

MILLER SCORES ONE
ON J.T. M'CLEARY-
Suggests He Attend to Potato
Bugs Here, Not Grasshop.
pers of Egypt

Second district voters are enjoying
the discontinue of Congressman j. T.
McCleary, of Mankato. McCleary re-
Gently singled out Jay La Due, a prom
inent Democratic leader of Luverne,
and wrote him a letter, asking what
Minnesota did to protect itself from the
grasshopper plague quarter of a CEN
tury ago.. McCleary said his request
for information was brought about by
a letter just received by Rev. Edward
Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate,
from Lord Cromer, governor general of
Egypt, who wrote that the greatest To-
Gust plague since the time of Moses
was inflicting itself on the valley Of the
Nile.
Senator La Due turned the McCleary
letter over to H. j. Miller, the Luverne
editor, and McCleary's opponent for
congress, to answer, and incidentally
said:
Had the honorable gentleman in
vited me to state which Of the two evils
had retarded the growth and prosper
ity of our people most, the grasshopper
raid of a quarter of century ago, or
the standpatters we have elected to rep
resent our interests in congress,
should reply the latter, and summon
the governors of Wisconsin and Iowa
and the Minneapolis Journal, of our
own state, to corroborate my state
ment."
Miller 6uries McCIeary
But Miller grows even more caustic,
saying that at last McCleary has
something to show for his twelve years
in congress; he is saving Egypt, in
Guiding the pyramids, the sphinx, the
Nile and the unknown tomb of Moses.
the prophet and legislator of the Is
raelites. from destruction by grasshop-
pers."
The editor also suggests that the ex-
termination of potato bugs might more
worthily engage the attention of the
congressman from an agricultural dis
trict like the Second, and concludes by
advising the Mankato congressman,
that having done all he can for suffer-
ing Egypt, he will give some attention
to his own. country, for, in the words
of the Irish poet: Every man should
love his native land, even if he wasn't
born there"
The correspondence is being widely
published through the district and is
causing no little amusement to the
men who understand the motive which
is said to have inspired the congress-
man to address the letter of inquiry to
prominent Democrat instead of one
of his own political faith.
