SAY FLETCHER HAS
MAY0RALTY HUNCH
Congressman's Friends Positively
State that He'll Seek That
Office Next.

Friends of Loren Fletcher announce
positively that Mr.. Fletcher will be-
candidate, for mayor of minneapolis
next year. Some time ago 7 b 9 our
n a | announced that Mr.. Fletcher was
considering the idea, and had again re-
newed his announcement that he would
retire from congress after his present
term. -a
While Mr.. Fletcher himself admits
that he is not entirely thru with poll
tics, he does not designate the exact OBJ
ject toward which he purposes to direct
his energies. The close personal friends
making the announcement Of his mayor
atty intentions say positively that Mr..
Fletcher will run for mayor. This is
said to have been a pet ambition for
some time.
"He came here In the early ffties
and has seen Minneapolis grow to a
great city. He came here as poor
young man. It is only natural that
he should wish to be mayor Of the pres;
emit city Of Minneapolis said friend
| today.
The fact that Mr.. Fletcher intends to
retire from the congressional arena
need not necessarily mean that he will
not be interested in his successor, OF
that he may not take hand il his Sc
lection. Mr.. Fletcher has following
that has been with him in his many
campaigns and will naturally take to
friend Of their former leader. From
this, it is believed, tLat Mr.. Fletche,

unfriendly, by throwing his support t,

of Welcome on Return Of
Peace Envoy.

Toxic, Oct. 16.-Baron Komura, the
foreign minister, who acted as chief
peace plenipotentiary for Japan, ar
rived here today from Vancouver, B.
G. His reception at the railroad was
not enthusiastic, those present being
principally government dignd1s sa sx
troops, police and gendarmes.
Emperor Honors Envoy.
The emperor showed exceptional
honor to komura by dispatching to

aide-de-camp, who went alongside the
steamer in a dispatch boat and brought
Komura ashore. landing him at, the

on .Komura, and, during the audience,
which lasted over an hour, it is be-
lieved the baron made full verbal re-
peace negotiations, emphasizing Presi-
dent Roosevelt's efforts in behalf Of

At the close of the audience the empe-
ror honored the baron with a written
personal message, highly priced by
Japanese statesmen. The message ex-
pressed satisfaction at the fact that
peace was concluded and commended
Komura IS cable services as shown dur
ing the negotiations.
Army Not to Criticise Treaty.
M. Teraoutchi, minister of war, has
issued an order instructing the Japan
ese army in the field to abstain from
criticising. the terms of peace on the
grounds that the declaration Of peace
and Of war are entirely the outcome Of
sovereign power. His order forbids
the criticism of either subject, espe-
cially by those engaged in military
service. He advises the soldiers to
utilize the opportunities of peace aft
er the disbandment of their regiments
!. by engaging in their respective occu-
pations, always holding themselves in
readiness to join the colors at the en-
. peror's command.
Ancestor Worship Strengthened.
The news that Vice Admiral Togo
worshiped at lie temple is creating a
profound impression. It is believed
that his act will furnish lasting ex.
ample in national religious education

! army and ravy.
Admiral Togo has shown his implicit
faith in what he said in his report of
: the great naval battle, when he at.
: tributed the japanese victory to the
u protection Of the spirits of imperial an
: cestors.
