A Protest..

When the directors of the Mlnneapo-
lis Chamber of Commerce adopted reso-
buttons on railroad rate regulation, the
matter was not submitted to vote or
the members, but the chamber was cem-'
mitted to an attitude of opposition to
the president, without any attempt TO-
determine what the membership of the
body might wish to say upon this I'M:
portant question. ~
A good deal of Indignation was ex-
pressed that the chamber should have
been placed in that attitude before the
country in that way, and Til our
N was importuned to. declare the. &C
ton not representative Of the chamber.
It was alleged at the time that, the di-
rectors did not dare put the matter to a
vote because they could not be sure that
the expression Of the members would be
in accord with their action. . ,...-..
The Journal printed the resolu-
lions but made no comment. We find
now, however, Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce firm Outstanding and i'm
portance writing to a trade paper as
follows: .. sf. z,-9s-5 -.
+ Grain Dealers Journal: We noticed in
your issue Of Nov. 10, an article headed
"Action of the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce." in which the impression is
given that the members of the Minneapo-
lis chamber are opposed to government
regulation of rates.. We wish to correct
any such impression and to say that the
action quoted was taken by the direc-
! tors, mostly large shippers who are very
closely allied with the railroads. The in
| dividual members of the chamber have
beerf given no opportunity to express
| their opinions, and we wish to go on rec
ord as thoroly in accord with the recon-
menda tons in regard to government reg
! ulation of rates made h.' President
Roosevelt. It is our opinion that if a
vote were taken on this matter, a large
part of our members would be found to
be fully in sympathy with the president
When a member Of the Minneapolis
chamber thinks it worth while, in or
der to protect itself against what it re
1 CARDS as an unrepresentative and unau
i thorized commitment of the chamber
upon any proposition Of general interest
J and concern, to write to a trade paper
outside of the city in order to secure al
expressions Of protest, the matter is not
without significance as to the value o.
the cham er's expression on the sub
] ject: 1t supports the well-founded sus
j picion that a great deal of the accumu
lated expression Of sentiment of com
mercial bodies against the president

different costumes every few minutes.

Lyceum-
The Lyceum will. present a preten-
tious bill of novelties next week, IN
line with its announcement of playing
ing the theater into "stock,' which
will be accomplished in few weeks.
But with number Of high class Eu-
'ropean and American novelty acts al
ready booked, the Lyceum is compelled
to go ahead with them until they can
be disposed elsewhere, SO that the next
few weeks will see some of the best
attractions known to vaudeville On the
stage Of the Lyceum.
Manager Speers presents as his head
liner next week the world famous rife
shots, McCrea and Poole, the sensa-
ticral shooters who defy death 1900
tunes each week by actual count. They
have "scare' tricks by the dozen,
such as shooting peanuts from between
| each others fingers, clipping buttons
from wearing apparel, etc, etc; The
and some comical business which pre-
vents an audience from getting unduly
excited.
Charles and Kate Gibson, in the new
dramatic sketch "The Burglar's Kit, -
are said to have the best vehicle of
their career as vaudeville artists. The
little play is by well-known news
! paper writer, and IS SAID TO contain one
of the strongest acting scenes in latter
day playlets. The comedy will be fur
nished by Clifford and Orth, two clever
people who have won distinction on the
eastern circuit by their ability to sing
I acceprdbfy and uousen5c- eicverly.
j Their act is described as extremely
/ funny, and of the sort that is worth
seeing a second time. Walsh and Ligon,
refined musical artists and comedians,
! Charles s. Laird in new illustrated
songs and ballads. and fine set of new
motion pictures comprehend the remain
ing portion of the bill.

M0DERATES WIN ALL
s. OFFICES IN CUBA

Havana, Dec. 2.-The political agita-
ton which began SIX, months ago with
the national convention of the liberal
party. and which has dwindled since
the. withdrawal of General Jose Miguel
Gomez, the presidential candidate
named by that convention, ended yes
terday in an election that was so quiet
AND uninteresting as to cause scarcely
a. ripple of excitement.
The withdrawal of the liberals from
all nominations as protest against
alleged iniustices by the government
and the people in conducting the pri-
maries left clear field for the moder-
ates, and every moderate nominee was
elected, from President Palma to pro-
vincial councillors
Robau and one remaining member of
the Alquizar insurrectionary band,
were brought to Havana yesterday and
arraigned. After preliminary exam
ination they were liberated on bail.
During the examination Robau made
sensational statements tending to i'm
phcate various prominent leaders of
the liberal party.

F'The Boy Behind the Gum, Harry
Clay Blaney's new stirring war drama,
comes to the Bijou tomorrow afternoon
for weeks engagement, including the
regular Wednesday and Saturday matt
nees. sa
The character of Willie Live as por-
trayed by Mr.. Blaney, is probably as
well known as any other in nowaday
popular price theatricals. For six con
secutive years it has laughingly APP
pealed to theatergoers turnout the coun-
try IN that stirring play. "Across the
Pacific Notwithstanding the fact
ing in his new play, WI Th sea Boy 1 Behind

by Charles 3. Blaney, the "well-known
character of Willie Live continues on
In the new piece, passing thru many
more startling adventures and hair
raising incidents, where pluck and cour-
age is the chief stock in trade.
Harry. Clay Blaney's work as COM
edlan is of most artistic and pains
taking kind, and of nature which
makes him a star in the theatrical
armament, of no mean order In his
new play, his opportunities are said to
be greater than ever before, and he goes
thru it with a vim and dash, edifying
his auditors with most refreshing bit
of dramatic comedy play. "The Boy
Behind the Gun is war play written
in Blaney's best style. 1t deals with
some Of the most thrilling incidents of
the recent Japanese-R Russian war, some
of the principal scenes being laid in
Port Arthur, where General Stoessel s
headquarters are shown, together with
the field hospital. Otter scenes show
he hnr ~ oh 4l,o
government buildings at Toxic; the tea
the San Francisco Yacht club, and the
flagship of Admiral Togo during the
battle of the Sea of Japan. In this
latter named scene, FIVE Calling guns
are used.
The new piece is produced on ar
elaborate scenic scale, and presented
by competent company of players
including besides Harry Clay Blaney
the well-known soubrette and com
royal guards of Japan, brought to this
country for this production, and twenty
| Geisha girls. A number of entertain
ing specialties and song and dance mum
beers are introduced, together with {
