After considerable parliamentary
fencing it was decided to appoint a
committee of nine to recommend nom
nations for the judiciary, one from
each congressional district. This com
mittee was announced as follows: First

This committee reported an hour later.
The report was presented by Pierce
| TNtler as chairman. He said:
First, we are unanimously In favor of a
| non partisan Judiciary; second, we recon-
mend the nominations Of c.. L. Brown and
J. L. Lovely, presSnt supreme court JUS

mend G. ID. Otis of Ramsey county to be

1906, and John Lind of Hennepin county

Before the motion was put, John T.

Return Home.

Judge Newman Cayce and Mr..
Chas. Sherrod returned from
Chicago last Thursday. where
they went to meet and confer
with President Davidson, of the
Frisco, relative to the traffic ar
rangements aud interchange of
freight, and terminal connections
between the Columbus, Memphis
& Pensacola Railway and the
Frisco system. Judge Cayce
denied that they had gone to
confer with President Davidson
in an effort to get the Frisco to
undertake the construction of
their road and stated that the
conference was merely for the
purpose of securing an assur-
ance of connections, interchange
of freight etc.
They report that every thing
hoped for at this conference had
been accomplished. that they
were assured of all arrangements
necessary for the two roads to do
business. and that they were
given every encouragement. Mr.
Sherrod seemed especially well
satisfied with the results of their
visit and spoke more confidently
than ever of the building of the
road. Judge Cayce is especially
guarded and careful IN talking
with reporters ard it was i'm
possible to corkscrew anything
out of him except generalities
relative to their road.
Columbus people are gratified
that they succeeded in getting
what they went after and all hope
that another obstacle in the path
Of this enterprise has been re
moved.

Every com munity has its char
acters and peculiar people, but a
class that is general, appearing
in every little settlement is the
chronic kicker or knocker. The
more improvements contem-
plated and the greater amount of
capital invested the harder the
knocks. The past week has
witnessed a great deal of activity
on the part of these busy people,
the proposed franchise for a
street railway being the object
upon which fell hammers. In
spite of this fact, however, and
regardless of the attacks upon
the persons interested. we are
assured that the street railway
is practically an assured fact
unless some unforeseen event
doesn t intervene to set at naught
the efforts of the Council and the
promoters Of the scheme.
The proposition lately sub
mltted to the City Council by
Messrs. Abbott, O'Neill & Heard
seemed to the committee appoint
ed for the purpose of looking
into the matter, more adapted
to the city's wants and needs
than any other of the three and
with some changes was finally
returned to the gentlemen named
for approval. The changes as
made provided for a bond of
s., 900, which was finally lowered
to 81 900. to be put up by the
street railway company, and ex-
emption from taxation for a term
of five years. Other clauses were
inserted making the whole con
tract that was pleasing to all
parties. Mr.. Heard and Col
O'Neill were present at the meet
ing but unfortunately Mr.. Alb
bott was unable to be in the city
at that time. The contract was,
however, taken in charge by Mr..
Heard who will hold a conference
with Mr.. Abbott to morrow, re-
turning to Columbus to morrow
night at which time it will be
definitely known whether the re-
yised proposition will be accept
ed. No alterations were made as
to time and the number of miles
to be laid. the time specified in
the original contract, one year,
being satisfactory to all parties.
The matter is naturally of vast
interest to the people of Colum-
bus and it is hoped that final ar
rangements may now be made
without further trouble.

RUSSIA

Poor old Russial Beset by the
common enemy at the front and
with discord and treason at
home
With complications with other
natims disturbing her people
and lowering her prestige
abroad aud with her high officials
meeting the fate Of the martyr
and tyraut al home
Hers is a pitiable fate. Re
garded as one Of the great ma
tions of the world, the little
japanese have proven that her
prestige and power aud glory at
arms is an mistake. They
have beaten The Russians at sea,
they have beaten them upon
land. At every game Of war
Russia has had her legions
trampIed in the dust and her
proud name no longer carries
the fear in Europe that it for
merly carried.
These few observations are
called forth by the events of the
past week. Kuropatkin, the
Russian general in command of
the Manchuria campaign. has
been driven back and defeated
time and again by the Japanese;
Russian ships have seized other
nations vessels supposed to con
tain contraband Of war, causing
complications, and right in the
shadow of the palace at ST. Pc
tersburg Won Plehve, minister
OF interior, was assassinated by
an anarchist last Thursday fill
ing the whole empire with hor-
ror. While official circles in
Russia are shocked, Won Plehve' s
death is regarded in other
countries as a fit retribution
for his crimes, he being charged
with being the instigator of the
Kishine IF massacres.
Another week and the crisis
in the Russian situation is ex-
pected to have been passed.
Yesterday there were reports
of the fail Of Port Arthur, and
Kuropatkin is now said to be in
full retreat from the Japanese.
With Kuropatkin crushed and
Port Arthur in the hands of the
japanese, Russia 5 great pres
tige will have been shattered and
she will be regarded as a weak
and third class power. Her po-
siiion in the old world will no
longer excite fear. The Bear
will have lost his power and Gun
ming.
