NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
MILLERs RESIST OFFICERS.
Superior Mill Is Scene Of a Battle
Royal.

Royal.
Superior, Wis, Oct. %. - A battle
royal was waged at the Listman mill
in this city yesterday afternoon be-
tween the Wisconsin inspectors and
the employees of the MILL acting upon
the orders of the Duluth board of
trade, which controls the mills at the
present time AS result of the fight
the mill bears the appearance of the
center of a battle ground. The doors
are torn from their hinges and broken
bags of dust are scattered knee deep
over the floor of the house. The
trouble started when the mill people
attempted to unload cars of grain into
its elevators with Minnesota inspect
ors doing the weighing. The Wiscon.
sin officials claim the sole right to
weigh the wheat and Immediately after
the unloading process started. they be-
gan to break their way into the build
ing. The doors were barricaded,
and about 100 employees of the two
mills were brought to the Listman to
resist the efforts of the Wisconsin
weighmen to enter. The opposing
forces did not come to blows, but there
was some lively shifting of the two
crews to prnlect the different en-
frances to TIC scale house. Finally
the Wisconsin men, with the aid of a
squad of police, succeeded in forcing in
one of the doors and took charge of
the scales. The mill Immediately shut
down and the unloading stopped

President Robertson's Plan to AmaIga.

The action Of the Methodist confer

amalgamation of the state school main.
tanned by the church with the state
university was a distinct victory for
President Robertson, who has worked
for the success of this plan ever since
last winter, and in whose way many
obstacles have been thrown.
The Red River Valley university was
located at Wahpeton when it was first
established, and while it has had some
measure of success there, this success
has not. in the opinion of the president
and many others who are familiar with
its workings, been commensurate with
the money and energy expended. It
was remote from the bulk of the Meth
odist population of the state, and the
burden of maintaining in new state
an independent religious school in
competition with the splendidly en-
dowed state institutions was becoming
heavier each year, aSd it was felt that
operated as separate institution the
college could not be expected to be
more than a small and poorly equipped

forego the greater advantages in the
state schools through a feeling of 10y.
atty to the church.
The plan of the amalgamation con.
templated the entire independence of
the two institutions of each other, but
the students in the religious college
are to have the advantage of the free
secular instruction afforded by the
state, while taking under the direction
OF the church authorities courses of
instruction leading up to the divinity
degree, each school giving credit for
work done in the other.
The advantage Of this plan will be
to relieve the church Of the burden of
the secular instruction of it's young
people. enabling it to devote its entire
educational fund to religious instruc.
ton.
1t is too late in the season for any
building to be undertaken for the col
lege this year, and the funds of the in.

the desired point, but many of the for
mer students in the church college are
now taking work in the state univer-
sity, which can be done for year or
more without interfering with their flu.
ture course. Buildings will be erected
next year.

HEAD TORN FROM BODY.
Mass Of Rock Hurled by Blast Kills
Workman,

Lead, S. D., Oct. pa slavonian
by the name of Spisagi Miljanich met
horrible death yesterday at the stone
quarry near this city. A blast had been
put in, and as the rock commenced to
slide after the explosion the other
workmen got out of it's way. Milanich,
however, either did not observe the
danger in which he stood or else he
did not realize it. for he stood directly
in the way of the rock and shale. A
great mass came rolling down the
side of the cliff, and was upon him,
hurting his body against a rock car
with such terrible impetus that his
head was torn completely off his body
and rolled some ten feet away. An in
quest will be held this morning.

POPE CAUSES A SENSATION
URGES CATHOLICS 70 TAKE PART IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

Issues an Encyclical to This Effect but . Recommends Clergy to Refrain from
 Participation in Party strife--Its Ob-
 ject Believed to be the Making of q . Force Against Threat of Socialism. e Rome, June 19.-The pope has issued an encyclical encouraging Catholics to participate in public affairs. While seeking the advice of the ecclesiastical authorities, the encyclical says: Cath olics should retain complete liberty of action regarding their temporal inter- ests. Members of the clergy are rec ommendsd to refrain from participa- tion in party strife.
 The, encyclical has created a sensa- tfon. Its object is to induce Catholics to enter public life, so that they may be a force against the threat of socialism.
 In the last election for members of the Italian chamber of deputies the participation of the clericals was pro- nounced, even priests and monks in ee- clestastieal robes going to the polls, while in Rome numerous persons at tached to the vatican voted against the socialist leader Terri. This was, at the time, as stated in th,s Associated Press dispatches, considered a tacit but def mite abandonment of the famous rule of Pope Plus IX., under which Catho- lies were forbidden to vote at Italian elections. &

 Other attorneys for the condemned woman were notified and T. W. Molo- ney, of Rutland, who has also acted for Mrs. Rogers, stated tonight that should Judge Wheeler, who will at 2 o'clock on Wednesday consider the grounds upon which the writ was ap- piled for, deny any relief, an appeal will be taken to the United States su- preme court.

Light Work for Harvard.

Red Top, Gales Ferry, Conn, June 1S.-Light work was given the Harvard varsity eight this afternoon. The wa- ter of the Thames was rough and the weather cold. The crew padded over to the starting line, and covered the first mile at a 26 stroke, after which Coach Wray megaphoned an order to do the next half mile in the quickest possible time. Captain Fil1ey respond ed by putting the stroke up to 36 to the minute increasing it toward the end of the half mile to 38. The time for the distance was 2:2s, which was very fair against head tide, although there was a favoring wind which partly neutral ized the tide effect. At the high stroke, the work of the crew was little rag ged, the oars not getting in and out of the water with stroke. There was also a tendency to start the leg drive before the oars were in the water which gives a weak catch and kicks the boat back.

IMPORTANT HEARING
 HELD ON CUT MATTER
RAILROAD AND KELLY PLANS
 ARE CONSIDERED.

Experts for Both Sides Testify Before Rnilroad and Bridge Committee Representatives of Company State That Kelly Plan Is Unfeasable--En- gineer Harte Points to some In- | stances-City Engineer Kelly Ex- plains His Pian-Attorneys Daggett, BucIxland and Day Present.
 A lengthy hearing was held last night before tie committee on railroads and
 bridges of the board of aldermen con- corning the plans for The improvement of the railroad cut. The two plans un- der consideration were the proposed plan submitted by the railroad com Ipany and the amended plan submitted 1 by City Engineer. Kelly. The evidence. before the committee was nearly all of 1 an expert nature, both sides being ably represented. Corporation Counsel Dag gett and City Engineer Kelly appeared for the city and Attorneys Buckland and Day and Engineer C.. R. Harte for the railroad company. These gentle men were the only speakers except
 General George Hare Ford and Henry
 Donovan, both of whom objected to the.
 railroad company's original plan.
 Corporation Counsel Daggett stated l that the intent under the Kelly plan was tc get the grades leading to the tracks from State street as near three l per cent as possible, while under the lrailroad plan in some places the grade would be about five per cent. By adopting the Kelly plan the tracks would be moved eastward far enough
 to get this grade, although it would mean that the railroad company would have to acquire lot more lond, and that Union street would have to be moved considerably back and have a complete new layout. He thought that | the change of plan would cost the rail- road company an additional half mill lion dollars.
 | Engineer Harte then explained his | original plan and in a most able man ner showed that it was not so much g. i question of additional expense to the railroad company to adopt the Kelly
 plan as it was question of practica- bility. In reference to the additional cost to the company if the Kelly plan were adopted, he said that he had f1g-
 ured the matter out carefully and that | it would be at least a million dollars,
 but that one of the big objections to
 the Kelly plan was the fact that it
 would be almost impossible to give sat-
 isfactory and safe service were it
 adopted. He showed by the maps of
 the layout where the cut turns by the tOlive street bridge, and then showed
 that by Mir. Kelly's layout the increase
 in this curve would be too great for
 safety. He said that this curve at the
 present time is one of the worst that
 the company has to deal with, and that
 it would be serious matter were it in-
 creased as under the Kelly plan.
 Engineer Harte also clearly showed
 how it would, in his opinion, be impos-
 sible to dig the cut any, deeper on &C., Continued on Flights Page.)

 Despite the prominent display of Red Cross badges the Cossacks fred volleys at close quarters and then charged with drawn swords, with the result that many ron-combatants were killed or wounded. Some of the Rus sians dismounted and used their bay onets. The steel was thrust down the mouths of the Japanese, their heads were nearly cut off and their bodies .disemboweled.

SPONTANEOUS GENERATION.
Almost Certain Possibility of It Dem-
 Onstrated. 5.-

London, June 20.-According to the Daily Chronicle experiments conducted for six years in the Cavandish labora- tory at Cambridge university by J. Butler Burke, a young professor, who for long time worked with Professor Thomson, have almost certainly demon strated the possibility of spontaneous generation. By means of radium and sterized bouillon placed together in a test tube, Professor Burke obtained cul- lures presenting many appearances of vitality such as growth and subdivi- sion.
