London was the birthplace of George
Frederick Watts. He was born in the
English metropolis February %. 1917,
and most of his days were spent in
the foggy city. He became known as
an artist OF considerable skill even in
his young days, but it was not until
1881 when he was 20 years of age,
that his pictures were exhibited in
the Royal Academy. From that year
his fame steadily increased until with
in a few years ne was known as the
foremost artist of England, if not of
the world. His portrait work won
him the highest honors, though his
allegorical pictures added not a little
TO his reputation as a master of art.
Through his long life Watts was
more or less of a philanthropist. Hun
dreds Of his paintings adorn the walls
of public buildings in England and a
great many of these were the gift of
the painter. The Academy Commits
sioners thought so much of his work
that they bought a number Of his
portraits and cartoons. Watts was
idolized by the English people and he
numbered among his friends the
greatest people of Europe. In 1897,
when he was so years Of age, he was
rendered a banquet at which he was
presented with a congratulatory ad-
dress signed by hundreds of the fore
most men of the world.
In 1880 the honorary degree of
D. c. L. was conferred upon Watts by
Oxford University and in 1888 the
University of Cambridge conferred
upon him the degree of Ii. D. In
1885 Gladstone was empowered to
confer a baronetcy upon the painter,
but this honor was declined. Watts
was a member of a number of foreign
academies and wore the Cross of the
Legion of Honor

There is a little talk about what Will
liam ]. Bryan may do, but some strong
assurances are given that he will not
bolt. A topic of discussion also is what
the convention may do with Bryan. 1t
is expected that he will have a vigorous
dissent to the platform and possibly TO
the candidate, but some Democrats say
that after expressing his dissent it is
not the intention of the leaders to allow
any great latitude to him after his
minority report has been rejected.

MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS.
Meet in State Convention and Adopt
a Strong Platform.

Meet in State Convention and Adopt
a Strong Platform.
ST. PAUL, July 1.-When the Repub-
lican State Convention was called to-
gether this afternoon the credentials
committee not being ready to report,
the resolutions committee presented the
platform.
The first mention of President Roose-
velt's name brought forth tremendous
ovation, which was duplicated when
the plank indorsing Governor Van
SAINTS action in fighting the so-called
railroad merger was read. The indorse-
ment of Senator Clapp for reelection
brought out the greatest demonstration
that has yet occurred in the conven-
tion. The report was unanimously
adopted
The platform, after reaffirming the
national platform and commencing the
administrations of Mckinley and
Roosevelt, has the following to say on
national issues:
we believe that the large corpora
tions, commonly called trusts, should
be regulated by law and supervised
both in their organization and opera
tions, that their tendencies may be
checked and their evil practices pre-
vented. and insist that they shall be so
regulated and controlled as to prevent
monopoly and promote competition, and
in the fullest measure subserve and ad-
vance the public good.
I'VE believe in the doctrine of pro-
lection TO American industry as set
forth in the national Republican plat
form of 1904, and we believe in reci-
procity as defined and advocated by
William Mckinley and James G..
Blaine"
The platform commends the action of
President Roosevelt and Governor Van
SAINT in "espousing the cause of the
people against the railway merger and
trusts" 1t indorses Senators Nelson
and Clapp to succeed themselves; IA

Regarding Fixtures and Furniture.


The witness closed the deal between
Dietrich and the G. A r. post regarding
the fixtures and furniture for $500 The
witness then told of a conversation had
with Senator Dietrich regarding the renting
of his building for post Office purposes, the
senator insisting that he could not get rent
enough for his building from the govern
ment The senator at that time told Dut-
ton that he thought Fisher should take the
fixtures off his hands.
The witness denied that he was commits
stoned to make any proposition to Fisher
He said that beyond Dietrich's stating that
Fisher ought to pay for the fixtures there
was no money consideration mentioned
Dietrich never indicated a doubt to the wit
less as to whom he would recommend as
postmaster. HE told me he would recon-
mend Fisher a week after his election as
senator, said Dutton.
He then went into the dispute over the
post office location in Hastings. Mr.. Dut-
ton said that one of the reasons why the

office was the fact that Charles Emory

Jacob Fisher, the present postmaster at

urday before the special Senate committee
appointed to investigate the charges
against Senator Dietrich. Senator Spooner
attended the meeting, but Senator Cockrell
was absent
Mr.. Fisher said that at the time he was
appointed postmaster his relations with
Hahn. the former postmaster. had been
rather unfriendly; that previous to that
time Hahn made daily visits to his (Fsh-
ersJ place of business but that these visits
stopped when he received news of his ap-
poIntment. He did not recall any visit by
Hahn on April %. and he was sure that I'M

he said that he had agreed to pay half the
rental OF the back room of the Dietrich

the total being SAL. The arrangement was
that he was to have half OF any proceeds
derived from the room. They had made an
effort to rent the room to the Western
Union Telegraph Company. but had failed.
He said these payments on account OF the
room had had nothing TO do with his sal
airy. He contradicted the statement OF Mr..
