WARNING TO CABINET OFFICERS.
Venstre Party Calls on Former Lead
ers to Declare Themselves.

venstre Party Calls on Former Lead
ers to Declare Themselves.
Leaders of the Leftist party in Nor.
way are calling upon the three mem
bers of that party in the ministry to
publicly declare their politics without
delay. At the recent national conven-
ton of the Leftists (Venstre) Messrs-
Loveland, Arctander and Bothner were
conspicuous by their absence and no
word was received from either of them
as to their attitude toward the old
party.
The present cabinet is coalition at
fair, and in way is the center of
nondescript coalition (Samlings) party
which the radicals declare is only an.
other name for the Rightists. Now
that all of the affairs of the new gov
eminent has been ordered, it is broad.
ly limited that it is the duty of the
three cabinet members to either re-
tire and ally themselves with their for.
mer colleagues, or to remain in the
ministry and thereby be read out OF
the party.
The elections are soon at hand, and
while the party leaders deplore the
loss of three such able men as Low
land, Arctander and Bothner, they de.
clare that "Venstre" will win decid.
ed majority in the new storthing.

EACH FIGURES OUT VICTORY
CANDIDATES ALL PLEASED WITH
REPUBLICAN STATE
PRIMARIES.

st. Paul, June 6. - Candidates for
state offices, for governor especially,
were busy yesterday figuring out from
scattering reports of primaries just
where they stand. Reports were re-
ceived from number of counties and
parts of counties, but not enough to
give any definite basis for a figure on
the outcome nor to assure any one of
the nomination. Uninstructed dele
cations will be common. almost the
rule. although in many places where
no instructions are given it is known
how the delegates will VOTE
The general feeling yesterday
seemed to place Cole. Block and ia
cobson as the three leaders in the
race. and allow the others to rely
mostly upon their chances as dark
horse candidates. Stephens, Lord and
Somerville, as far as reported, have
their principal strength in their own
districts. They are each allowed
some outside votes, but at the same
time neither of them will have his
district solid.
Neither Block. Cole nor Jacobson
seem to have his home district solid,
but each appears to have considerable
strength outside.

Friday.

Washington, June 2. - The senate
yesterday passed the bill regulating
the liability of railroad companies for
injury to employees, but Senator Dan
Tel gave notice of a motion to recon-
slider, which, if it prevails, will have
the effect of again bringing the ques-
ton before the senate for considera-
ton.
The remaining time of the open ses-
sion was devoted to a speech by Sen
ator Morgan in support of the asser-
ton of American control in the Isle of
Pines, and to a discussion of the reso-
luton prescribing policy for the
government in the purchase of sup
plies for the Panama canal. Senator
Stone opposed the amendment as USE
less and attacked the president as
weak and wavering in policy.

for American Skill.
The Norwegian contingent at the
Olympic games arrived at Christiania
on May Is and were received by a con-
course of 10000 people, among whom
were King Haakon, Premier Nicholson
and other dignitaries. Premier Michel
sen welcomed the athletes and compli-
mented them for their success on the
Stadion. 1t will be recalled that the
Norwegian turner's won first prize in
the class turning against seven of the
best teams in Europe, and G. G. Skat-
teboe secured the highest mark in the
rifle shooting. The Norwegians did
not enter in the track and field events,
in which the Americans carried off all
the honors.
They were greatly interested in the
Americans and admired their feats of
running and athletics very much. They
received their first introduction to the
American college yell and COMMENTED
upon it as something unique. The
American custom of encouraging con-
testants by vociferous cheering also
struck them with surprise.

and Methods Are Sanitary.
Chicago, June 6.-Eight of the big
packing establishments in Chicago is
sued a joint statement last night re-
plying to the charges made in the
NeillReynolds report of their investi-
cation of the packing plants and
President Roosevelt's message to
congress. In this statement the pack
ers declare that their plants are kept
clean; their methods of manufacture
are sanitary; their products whole
some and that for years doctors,
chemists, sanitarians and c'Etcial in
vestigators from practically every
civilized nation on earth, who have
made examinations of the manner in
which the meat packing plants are
conducted have been entirely salts
fled in every instance with the con-
ditions existing in this industry.
Despite this fact the packers assert
that they stand ready to adopt any
practical suggestion in the line OF Inn
provement. The packing companies
who affixed their signatures to the
statement are: Armour & Co., Swift
& Co., Nelson Morris & Co., G.. H.

go far enough, 1t being confined to
passing on the healthfulness Of the an
imals at the time Of killing. During
the process of preparing sausage and
other products there is no inspection,
despite the fact that all products,
when sent cut, bear label stating
that they have been passed by govern
ment inspectors.
The report contains a chapter on
the mistreatment accorded employees,
particularly women.
"rhe various departments are under
the control of superintendent, who
ignore all considerations except that
of their account book. Under this
system the proper care of products
and the health and comfort of en-
ployes are impossible, and the con-
sumer suffers in consequence"
Decencies Are ignored.
Tuberculous victims expectorate
on the spongy floors of the dark work
rooms, from which falling scraps of
meat are later shoveled up to be con-
verified into food products.
Even the ordinary decencies of
life are completely ignored" says the
report in discussing the arrangements
for men and women employees. The
report says:
''The whole situation as we saw it in
these huge establishments tends
necessarily and inevitably to the NOR
al degradation of thousands of work.
ers, who are forced to spend their
are entirely unnecessary and unpar-
donable, and which are constant
menace not only to their own health,
but to the health of those who use
the food products prepared by them"
Reforms Urged.
The report urged compulsory ex-
animation after slaughter; inspection
of meats for foreign or interstate COM
merce; inclusion of goats, now ex.
empt from inspection, intended for for
eign and interstate commerce, in the
list subject to the inspection of the
bureau of animal industry, and that
they should be equally controlled by
the regulations of the secretary of ag-
riculture; increase of inspectors for
night inspection and special work;
legislation prohibiting declarations of
government inspection on food prod
ucts unless subject to government in
spection at every stage of prepare
ton: prohibiting interstate transport
tation of any meat or meat food prod
ucts not inspected and labeled; urges
considering the question of specific
labelling of all carcasses sold as fresh
meat, which, upon examination after
slaughter, show signs of disease, but
are still deemed suitable for food;
and recommends study of inspection
standards of other countries.
London Papers Sound Warning.
London, June 6.-President Roose-
velt's message to congress on the
meat matter as substantially confirm
ing some, if not the morst, of the
charges against the packers, is the
subject of general editorial discussion
in the London newspapers this morn
ing. and is used as a warning to Brit
ish consumers to avoid all American
products of the kind until a sweeping
reform is established.

DEMOCRATIC LEADER DIES OF
HEART DISEASE AFTER
MONTHS OF ILLNESS.
GRIEF GENERAL At CAPITAL
HAD LONG BEEN A NOTABLE
FIGURE IN THE NATIONAL
CONGRESS.

Washington, June 6. - Arthur Pue
German, United States senator from
Maryland, died suddenly at his resi-
dence here yesterday. While Senator
German had been i'll for many months,
he had shown some improvement late.
ly. Heart trouble was the immediate
cause of death.
Up to the moment of death Senator
German was conscious. His condition
during the week had improved so
much that Sunday the family had
hopes of taking him shortly to the
country.
Senator German suffered, in addi-
ton to his heart affection, with more
or less stomach trouble.
Senator German leaves widow and
six children.
A Notable Figure.
Senator German long had been a
notable figure in the national con-
gress. He first took his seat in 1881
and served continuously for eighteen
years, and nearly all of that time he
was the leader of his party in the SEN
ate. Winning early a reputation for
sagacity ana the keenest Judgment in
congressional affairs, he attained
prominence, not only as leader in
the senate but in the country at large,
and by many men was considered the
most available man in his party for
the presidency.
Headed Cleveland Campaign.
He was chairman of the executive
committee and managed the cam
paign that resulted in the election of
Cleveland in 1884.
The most notable contest of his
congressional career was when he
led the senate minority in lS9O-91
bill, which was so obnoxious in the
South
When the Democrats had control
of the senate. German was the recog.
nized leader. II was at that time that
the tariff bill CT 1894 was passed. He
had so much to do with the shaping
of that measure that his name is often
given to it,
Break With Cleveland.
1t was in Clevelands last admins
tration that a break occurred between
the Democratic president and the
leader OF the party in the senate. In
a speech which will always be remem.
bered by those who heard it, Senator
German severely arraigned the presi-
dent. To this opposition the defeat Of
Senator German few years later is
attributed, although his party lost
Maryland in the silver campaign. AS
soon as the Democrats regained con-
troll of the state, he was once more
reelected to the senate.
1t was a tribute to his leadership
that as soon as he was again in the
senate he was made the leader of the
minority.
Grief Is General.
Senators and representatives, COM
mittee employees, police and pages, all
knew Senator German intimately and
grief is general.
Senator German in written re-
quest addressed to Mrs. German asked
that no stats funeral should be held.
The senate adjourned Immediately
upon receiving the announcement of
Senator Germans death. No business
was transacted. There was an unusu.
al number of senators present and
all were manifestly impressed by the
ca1nyoonSfvy 81
Committees from the senate and
house were appointed to represent
those bodies at the funeral.

Russian Douma Will Take Up Bill to
Abolish Death Penalty.


Abolish Death Penalty.
st. Petersburg, June 6.-The lower
branch of parliament today will sus-
pend consideration of the agrarian
problem in favor of the bill to abolish
the death penalty, which, as an urg-
ent measure, takes precedence. The
bill consists of only two paragraphs,
the first of which abolishes the death
penalty in all cases, while the second
provides the next lower penalty for
offenses hitherto punishable with
death. The bill is mainly applicable
to conditions of reinforced security
and martial law, the only crimes pun
ishable with death under the ordinary
civil code being attempts against the
person of the emperor and breaking
quarantine against the pest.
