TILLMAN RESPECTED
AS 4 MAN OF BRAINS

"Political Washington is having
more fun over Senator Aldrich g recent
blunder in turning the Hepburn bill
over to Senator Tillman than over any
congressional occurrence in recent
years. said Wallace G.. Nye Of the
Commercial club, who returned from
Washington yesterday, after hearing
before the house committee on appro-
priations in behalf of the new post
Office site for Minneapolis.
"Major Hale and I were in Wash
and could hear nothing else. On all
sides, in restaurants, on the streets and
about. the public buildings frequented
by congressman and others, it was the
general topic of conversation.
f'There is an impression in the west
that Senator Tillman is uncouth, illit-
crate and vulgar. I found, however,
that many men have high regard for
his ability and admit him a worthy
foeman. Senator Nelson of Minnesota
speaks of him as brilliant, able man
but admits that he is eccentric. Till;
man is a poor white who has pushed
educated and cultured element Of the
south, and still clings to his old class
feelings. Those who know, him most
intimately, however, seem to look be-
hind this to the man g mind. -
81 was told that Tillman would be
bad man for the opposition to stir
up, but there is also another feature
bearing on this bill that has been little
mentioned. Senator Tillman himself, !
was told, has announced that the bill
should not be passed in it's present
form. Senator Bailey, the democratic
leader, has made the same statement.
"'There was some forecasting con.
corning their probable action. It was
thought by some that they might pos.
sibly decide to stand by the measure
in it's present form and drive it thru
the senate as political move, there
by compelling the republicans, who

BY others 1t was thought that TIL
man and Bailey might allow or perhaps
offer amendments, in which, case there
would be a possibility of radica
changes before it escapes the senate

,HThe United States is more respon-

presence Of Leopold II in the Congo

which Portugal would have been en-

new state, but when this country took
such advanced ground for Leopold,
England withdrew her attempt at in

"We were not signatories of the Ber-

MAY FORM A MEMS CLUB
ORGANIZATION TO STAND FOR
RIGHT PROJECTED IN WEST
MINISTER CHURCH.

Formation of mems club is under
discussion at Westminster church. A
mass meeting Of the men will be held
and the organization of club for
literary, social and religious work. will
be considered. The matter was pre-
sented last nj ght at the meeting of the
Westminster club, with Franc B. Dan
iels, Kenwood boulevard, and the in
dorsement Of the club was asked. IL +
Westminster church has never had a
men g club, altho it is one Of the fore
most churches in the denomination in
all other branches of church and mis-
sionary work. The membership of the
church is about 1900, and the congre-
cation still larger. With this material
to draw upon it lis believed that an
organization Of the men would become
one of the leading associations for good
in the nation. Isl &
In order not to conflict with the new
church club it is probable that West
minister club will change the name
which it took thirteen years ago, when
organized by Rev. DR.. Pleasant Hunter,
pastor Of the church at that time.
Westminster club has been, to a GER
tain extent, a misnomer, as it never has
been church club, and it's member
ship at times has included men from
other churches and from other demon
nations. For that reason little opposi-
tion is expected to be shown to the
change. 49, - s

FREE BOOKS FOR BLIND
Minneapolis Unfortunates Can Now
Get Reading Matter Without Cost.

Miss Countryman, city librarian, has
received circulars and application
blanks from the superintendent Of the
school for the blind at Faribault, James
Dow, which announces to the blind
people of the state that the books in
raised print can be had without postal
charge to and from Faribault. This
plan offers an excellent opportunity to
the blind of Minneapolis, who will be
given an opportunity to use the blanks.
Up to the present time, many Of the
blind people have been unable to use
the books on account Of the heavy post
age. The volumes are large and bulky
and reading has been expensive at
that rate. The act of congress allow
ing such reading matter to be sent
thru the mails free of charge will give
the blind readers a -wished-for op-
portunity. At the library in Faribault
all books will be kept on hand, pub
lished by the American Printing House
of the Blind. But one book will be
issued at time, and this may be re-
tanned for one month from the date
of issue. -
=. The next meeting = Of the library
board will be held Friday afternoon,
and it is expected that the contracts
will be given out at the meeting for
the finishing Of the new wing, which in
cludes the much-needede new stack
room.

COAL CASES HEARD.
Hastings and Buffalo Lake Present.
Complaints. -.

Complaints on coal rates from Hast
ings and Buffalo Lake were heard by
the state railros.d commission today.
The Milwaukee, put in answer to
the Hastings Complaint which seemed
to settle it. Hastings takes a hig her
rate than Alton, on the Saltwater line,
and as coal from Duluth to Alton has
been taken by way of Hastings, this
was urged to be violation Of the long
and-short haul clause. The Milwaukee
said that if it made any difference, coal
for Alton would hereafter be hauled
by way of Saltwater, making the dis
lance shorter than to Hastings.
The Buffalo Lake complaint alleged
an excessive rate from Duluth to points
on the H. & D. division of the Milwau-
kee. The rate from Duluth to Fargo was
cited as lower, tho the distance is great
er. The railroad officials explained
that the Fargo rate was competitive.
The commission took both cases under
advisement. -
