ASKS REPARATION

Gen. Tyner Insists That the
President Did Him Cruel
Injustice

WASHINGTON, D. C, June "a
James M. Tyner. who was removed as
assistant attorney general for the post
once department during the investiga-
ton Of the department., and who re-
Gently was tried and acquitted bv a
jury, has addressed the following let
ter to President Roosevelt:
In November, 1903, on the strength Of
certain charges contained in a report by
Mr.. Bristow, the fourth assistant post
master general, you gave to the press of
the country statement to the effect
lndt gross corruption in the case of AS
slstant Attorney General Tyner has gone
on for a number of years." and, after
referring to me as 1.-THE chief offender },
you say that in my case 1.-The corruption
took the form of favoring get -rich-ouick
concerns and similar schemes. in other
words, the criminals whom it was (rny)
sworn duty to prosecute paid (me) for
lested.''
No verdict of jury nor sentence Of
judge could have had such farreaching or
lrremedlable consequences for me as this
extraordinary official proclamation of
guilt by you. and the ordinary machinery
OF Justice is probably powerless fully to
rectlfy the Injustice done. immediately
upon seeing your charges in the press
l addressed you letter protesting that
on the mere say so of Mr.. BristoW Won
had no right without at least first giving
me chance to be heard in my Defense
or without confronting me with the
charges or the evidence thus prematureIv
and rashly to prejudge and perhaps for-
ever blast the good name and character
which for nearly eighty years I had en-
deavored to establish.
When wrote this letter 1 had little
hope that a merciful and just God would
spare my life long enough to enable me
to face jury of my peers, and wished
merely to record what l believed to~be
a deathbed protest against your unusual.
unjust and arbitrary action. Fortunately,
l have now had my day in court and. ac-
cording to the law Of the land, T have es-
| tabliShed my innocence of any crime or
of any misconduct in office
Such verdict in trial brought in

EUSTIS WILLING TO
ACCEPT NOMINATION
William Henry Serves Notice
That He VIII Be About
When Trouble Starts

William Henry Eustis, of Minneapo-
lis, hobnobbed with prominent citizens
of St. Paul yesterday. He stood for
half an hour on the corner Of Fourth
and Jackson streets and discussed the
Armenian question with J. J. Hill, and
later he talked of another question
possibly more important to William
Henry than whether the Armenians
throw off the Turkish yoke.
The meeting with Mr.. Hill was un-
doubtedly accident; that with Gov.
Van SAINT was possibly prearranged.
Eustis stepped briskly out of the door
leading in--or out-of the governor s
private office and the governor at al
most the same moment emerged from
his reception room.
Hello, William Henry" Van SAINT
said cheerily. How is the world treat
ing your
William Henry vouehsafed no def
mite reply, and the supposition is that
he had told the governor how went the
world with him as they sat for half an
hour closely closeted in his hosts pri-
vate chamber.
The newspaper men gathered about
the former mayor of Minneapolis and
piled him with questions Mr.. Eustis
was affability itself.
How is the fight in Hennepin? ?" he
echoed. 1T is stiff fight and nobody
can tell who is going to win out in my
county. But while Dunn and Collins
are fighting, let no one forget that
there is a man in Minneapolis who will
not turn down the nomination
Il am making no fight, but believe
that there is a big sentiment through
out the state that it will not be the
best thing for the Republican party to
nominate either Dunn or Collins. They
have set the party by the ears in this
state, and have come mighty near dis
rupting it at-its very foundation.
II have a lot Of friends, particularly
through Southern Minnesota counties.
who are sending me word that am
second choice, and if neither Dunn nor
Collins are nominated on the first or
second ballot in that convention of
June 80, look out for a man about my
size and attainments / am likely to
be a factor in the game if something
is not done and done right speedily
after the balloting begins.
And why shouldn't the Republican

however popular, could have been

later, and he was elected in a presi-

have always been a loyal, consistent
Republican, and the party could do
much worse. At all events it would
heal the breach now widening in the
party of this state.''
Mr.. Eustis talked at length to his
friends at the state capitol and the
effect of his visit was to give the i'm
preston that for receptive candidate
he is likely to step forward and meet
it coming.

LEAvENWORTH, Kan, June 49,
Lieut.. Nathaniel T. Bower, engineer
corps, of Fort Leavenworth, was killed
today near the target range. The Of
ficer was on his way to the range to
shoot, when a bolt of lightning out of
a comparatively clear sky struck his
rifle, which he was carrying, passed
through the arm into the right breast
and cut through the shoe. He was to

LAY FUSE IN CHURCH
Attempt Is Made to Dynamite
franciscan Building

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. June 13.-It be-
came known today that an attempt
by some unknown person was recently
made to blow up with dynamite the
Church of st. Anthony, which is in
charge of Franciscans. The explo-
sive, stick of dynamite, was discov-
cred under the altar attached to a fuse
running. to one of the candles. Ina
bility of an attendant to light this
candle led to the discovery of the fuse
and dynamite.
The fuse was so arranged that when
the candle had burned for a certain
time it would have ignited and caused
an explosion, which, because of the
crowded condition of the church at the
time, would have destroyed the build
Ing and caused a great loss of life.

of Instructions. For the conservative,
anti Hearst element in the party, the
candidates for delegates at large are
John Lind, Minneapolis; L. "A Rosing,
Cannon Falls; T. D. O'Brien, St Paul;
Frank Zins, st. Cloud, and Alexander
McKinnon, Crookston. There may be a
contest between the last two for the
fourth place, but it will probably be
settled in advance of the convention,
and the conservatives will not go into
the convention with a divided strength.
The Hearst candidates for delegates
at large are Charles D'Autremont, Du-
luth; Swan J. Turnblad, Minneapolis;
H. L. Buck, Winona, and James r.

Uncertain in Congressional Districts
In several of the congressional dis
tricts the situation as to district dele
gates is not clearly defined
In the First district Leonard Virtue,
of Steele, and DR.. Milligan, of Waba-
sha, have been mentioned as probable
candidates; and in the Second district
Frank A. Day, of Martin, and George
P. Jones, Of Rock, are candidates.
The Third will make a choice be-
tween D. A. Adams, of McLeod Julius
Collar. of Scott, and H. B. Gress, Of
Rice.
r. Z. OConnor. of Ramsey, and ]. G.
Armson, of Washington, are certain Of
election in the Fourth. They are anti
Hearst.
James R. Corrigan and Frank D.
Larrabee have already been chosen by
the Fifth congressional district. Both
are Hearst men.
Charles E. Vasaly, Of Morrison, and
S. ]. Mealey, of Wright, seem to have
the call for delegates from the Sixth
district. Both are Hearst men.
In the Seventh district Timothy
O'Connor, of Renville, and C. F. Lie
berg, Of Clarkefield are anti-Hearst
candidates, and D. H. Evans, of Tracy,
and Thomas O'Hair, of Wheaton, are
Hearst candidates.
III the Eighth John Reinoldson, of
Pine, and John B. Galerneault, of Ait
kin, are conservative candidates, and
T. 7. Hudson, of st. Louis, and r. w.
Stafford, of Kanabec, are the candidates
of the Hearst faction.

With but twelve counties missing,
and some of these undoubtedly not
holding conventions, returns from the
other seventy-one counties in Mime
sofa show that friends of William r.
Hearst viii not control the state Demo-
cratic convention when it meets on
Wednesday, June %, at Duluth.
The returns compiled from reports
received by T h G 10 b e, through the
medium of its correspondents in many
of the more important counties of the
state, and from private sources inter
ested in the outcome of the fight in the
party in this state, indicate that while
Hearst viii undoubtedly secure some
of the district delegates in congress
sional districts of Minnesota, the Min
nesota convention will not pass resolu-
tions of instruction for him. The senti-
ment that the Kansas City platform
ideas finds expression to quite an ex-
tent in the platform of 1904 prevails to
some degree among Minnesota Demo-
Gratis, but they are not willing to ac-
cept Hearst to secure that recogni-
ton.
A number of the counties elected en-
thusiastic Parker delegates, but it is
not understood that the Parker men
generally throughout the state will ask
for an instructed delegation for them
and they will fight with equal vigor
any attempt at Duluth to instruct for
Hearst. The element in the party
which is against Hearst is not wholly
for Parker, but it wants to nominate
any clean man who will represent the
best that is in Democracy.
Anti Hearst Men Far Ahead
Returns from seventy-one counties
throughout Minnesota give the anti
Hearst men 432 votes, and the Hearst
following 301. There are twelve coun-
ties from which no returns have been
received, and no basis for an estimate
is obtainable upon these. In two or
three Of the smaller counties no con-
ventions were held and in one-Clay-
an error was made in the published call
and this convention will be held next
Saturday. There are total of 1909
delegates entitled to seats in the con-
vention, and it is probable that already
the anti-Hearst men have more than a
majority Of the delegates who will be
found in the convention at Duluth.
The complexion of the convention
will determine the personnel of the del
egates at large as well as the question

The article, which commented upon
