A press dispatch from Seattle says
that unless the Chinese boycott on
American goods is removed within
the next thirty days the plant of the
Centennial Milling company, with a
capacity of 2,400 barrels of -four per
day, and that of the Hammond Mill
ing company, with a daily capacity
of 1900 barrels, will be forced practi-
cally to close down. The boycott has
been felt for the past few months by
every flour milling concern doing an
export business on the Pacific coast,
and the outlook for the Touring in
dustry, until the boycott is removed.
is believed to be anything but rosy.
We could hardly expect conditions to
be otherwise. From an equable stand
point the exclusion act is most incon-
sistent. We compel the Chinese to ad-
nit US into their country and yet re-
fuse them entry into the United States.
The boycott is the result.

Two bitter political and personal
enemies: Senators Spooner and La
Toilette of Wisconsin, walking down
the aisle of the senate chamber arm
in arm was one of the features pre-
sented at the reconvention of congress
last week. While upon the surface
both had assumed a pleasant, court
eous attitude toward one another.
doubtless within them ranked the
most intense animosity. To each the
ordeal must have proven a trying one,
but, in Difference to a custom of the
senate and in an effort to retain their
individual dignity, the two senators
so yelled their personal antagonism
as to render it imperceptible to the
public view. The stimulation was 2

CULPABLE NEGLIGENCE.

To the lack of fire escapes at the
West hotel is largely due the loss OF
life which occurred on Wednesday
morning. It appears that there was
but one fire escape upon the whole
building and that this was of the an
cient ladder type, narrow and ina
state of semi-rottenness. There was
not a, stair escape upon the whole
structure such as is in general use by
the theaters. Had such escapes been
provided as is required by law the
lives of the guests who persisted would
doubtless have been saved.
Then. again, there were the stand
pipes. When the firemen arrived
upon the scene of the conflagration
the first thing they did was to rush to
these pipes to obtain water. To their
dismay they found that the pipes were
empty and that the reels of rubber
hose kept in the corridors for emer-
gency purposes were rotten, useless.
The Minneapolis Tribune. says that
the management of the hotel would be
compelled to sacrifice the rent of
several rooms if it provided more
fire escapes, and that was the reason
they did not do so. =.
Now, why was this state of affairs
permitted: Why this evasion of the
law? tits a case of culpable negli-
gence for which the Democratic ad-
ministration of Minnesota, IS respon-
sible. Had the hotel inspectors per-
formed their duties it is likely that
not a life would have been lost One
fre-escape I'M hotel the, size of the
West! Nine persons burned and
dashed to death through the negli-
gence of state >hirelings! Andamaybe
such negligence was backed up by
graft. Who knows? Who can say
that the management of the West did
not pay the inspectors to overlook
this matter of fire escapes?

Applauded at the Wrong Name.


Mark Twain tells thus the story of
his first great London banquet, at
which, by the way, there were 800 or
900 guests. He admits that not hav-
ing been used to that kind of dinner,
he felt somewhat lonesome. ..
1.-The lord mayor, or somebody,
read out list of the chief guests be-
fore we began to eat. When he came
to prominent names, the other guests
would applaud. .....
II found the man next to me rather
a good talker. Just as we got upon
an interesting subject there was a
tremendous clapping of hands. I had
hardly ever heard such applause be-
fore. I Strengthened up and set to
clapping with the rest, and I noticed
good many people around me fixing
their attention on me, and some OF
them laughing in friendly and en-
couraging way. I moved about in
my chair, and clapped louder than
ever.
" What is it?' I asked the gentle
man on my right.

in England as Mark TWAIN he re-

seemed to go out of me. J. never was

The haste of some of our scientific

ably in the editorial columns of the

the world his law of gravitation, be-

WILL BOOM STATE.

Immigration Agent Warner Wants to See
New Settlers Attracted.
G. 81. Warner, state immigration
agent connected with the state audi
tors department, will take the lecture
platform this week in the interest of
Minnesota land sales, and the boom
ing of northern Minnesota. Mr.. War
ner will deliver addresses under the
auspices of local commercial clubs
and commercial bodies, in Carlton,
Aitkin, Brainerd, Walker, Park
Rapids, Bemidji and Grand Rapids.
From the present time until the
opening of the state land sales, April
10, every effort will be made to ad-
vertise the lands in the seven counties
where sales are to be made. Mr..
Warmers campaign is to stir up local
interests so that the local commercial
bodies and citizens of the counties
where the sales occur will give all
possible assistance in advertising the
resources and advantages of the
northern counties.
eff we can get the people into the
northern countless" says Mr.. Warner,
cit is up to the citizens there to con-
vince them that the country is good
for something. The people whom
they meet are really the factors which
determine whether or not the immi-
grants will stay. If every one is en-
thusiastic about his own locality the
prosperity of the northern part of the
state is assured.'
The land sales of last fall were
highly successful. and the work done
by Mr.. Warner in advertising the
land, and the states attractive prices,
resulted in bringing hundreds of i'm
migrants into the state. In his pres
ent campaign Mr.. Warner will be &C.
companied by Representative A. L.
Cole of Walker; Prof. T. L. Haeckler
of the state agricultural college, and
other men who are fully acquainted
with the needs and resources of the
northern counties, :....i..Iss

Thrifty Farmers Good Thing.
The drainage of the swamp lands of
northern Minnesota is occupying con-
siderable attention, even in some of
the older settled countries of Europe.
Over there prospective settlers for
Minnesota are interested in the move
ment and drained swamp lands will
surely mean a heavy influx of farm
ers who will soon till the lands when
they are put in shape so that they can
be worked. Thrifty farmers are a
good thing any place and all the time.
The drainage of these lands so that
more of this class of people may be
accommodated is a good thing.

QUEST FOR MISSING WIFE
DELAYS A DIVORCE TRIAL

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
st. Louis, Sept. 3.--Mrs. Robert T.
Sturgeon, wife of the assistant cashier
of the Merchants Laclede National
bank. who blundered into accepting
his proposal of marriage by sending
him an acceptance intended for an
other. has disappeared. Her husband
is suing for divorce.
The Surgeons were married in Feb
ruary, 1900. The bride was Miss Amy
Bay, a daughter Of a Virginia family,
young society woman of this city. and
an intimate friend of Miss Rosemary
Sartoris. the granddaughter of Presi-
dent Grant.
She was pretty girl of great charm
and her suitors were many. For three
years it was much of butterfly chase
between Sturgeon and a handsome
young Kentuckian. Each was jealous
of the other, and Miss Bay never gave
either the slightest impression as to
which she preferred. She correspond
ed regularly, went riding and played
golf with BOTH
Then the two suitors wrote to the
girl on the same day-not the or
binary kind of love-letter, but an an
peal such as man writes once in a
lifetime.
And Miss Bay answered. To the
entuckian the reply was:
