A Washington dispatch says: 'Repre-
sentative McCleary of Minnesota is pre-
pairing for a series of tariff speeches
during this session of congress. He is
soon to pay attention to the new Ger
man tariff as it affects or may affect the
United States The trade war with Ger
many, he declares, has only just begun,
and Germany expects to profit by the
agitation of the subject. Mr.. McCleary
holds that the republican party should
stand firm in opposition to suggestions
of compromise.
''In speech to be made later in the
session Mr.. McCleary. promises to deal
with the demands for tariff revision
in the United States" He will diccuss
the merits and demerits of the question,
and will seek to answer arguments OF
Massachusetts revisionists. In third
speech he will discuss President Roose

says that after an analysis of President
Roosevelt's declaration, he has found
that the president, though favoring re-

tee has got the benefit of it, A mass
meeting of the farmer boys in college
was held to take action upon evils in
the. department. Resolutions were adopt
ed setting forth in detail the alleged
squabbles and jealousies of the farm fac
ulty and laying the state of affairs be-
fore President c. R. Van Hise and the
legislative committee.
The resolutions demand that the fac
ulty cease from fighting among them

valuable instruction. The mass meet
ING was attended by ITO out of 1873 stu

and against the resolutions.
Some fifteen members of the class
were orally examined by the legisla
tors. The students testified that the
members of the faculty are so jealous
of each other that they even resort to
opening the mail of their associates.
An interesting development is the fact
that practical unanimity exists among
the farmer students in favor of Prof. G.
N. Knapp, recently discharged by the
regents after proceedings in which he
was charged by Dean Henry with being
a trouble maker"

FIREMAN HANNA'S DEATH.
St. Peter Young Man Was Drowned
in a Watering Tank.

in Watering TANK.
st. Peter, March 9.-Detailed accounts
have just been received here of the death
of Percy Hanna of this city, who lost
his life in Great Northern railway tun
mel in Montana. Young Hanna, who was
twenty years of age, went to Butte
Mont, in the early winter and had since
been employed as locomotive fire.
man.
He met death in curious manner. As
the freight train on which he was work
ing was passing through long tunnel,
both of the men in the cab of the engine
were overcome by coal gas. 1t is sup
posed that when Hanna noticed the engi-
neer topple from his seat, he made des-
perate effort to escape the fumes of the
gas and reach place where he could
fill his lungs with pure air. Clambering
out OH the tender he took few stag
gering steps and then pitched headlong
into the water tank, where he was
drowned
All the members of the train crew
were affected to great or less extent
by the fumes of the coal gas and the
engineer nearly died of suffocation.
Strangely enough, young Hanna lost his
life while in the performance of extra
duty. Only the day before he had re-
turned from his regular run, but at
midnight he took the place of a sick
friend.

ing and ironing the towels in all the

Even taking him at his own word, that
our trade with Germany so far as
wheat, flour, hogs and cattle are concern
ed would not amount to much, and in
fact do not amount to much at this

though that country did try the game of
discriminating against Uncle Sam. Mr..

provemens.
"A movement is to be launched with
in a, few days to assist the Catholic
sisters in raising money with which
to install an elevator and dumb waiter
in st. Thomas hospital. AS it is now
the sisters must carry trays OF victuals
from the basement kitchen up two
flights Of stairs to the second floor
rooms, which is quite a hardship when
all of the rooms in the hospital are
occupied by patients, as they have
been since July first.
T An elevator leading to the third
story is much needed for the reason
that all patients entering the hospital
now assigned to second floor rooms
must be carried up the stairway, and
all patients taken to and from the
operating room, which is on the third
floor, must be carried UP and down
/ a fight of stairs. The building was
planned to have an elevator. altho one
without expensive power would serve
every purpose.
AS patients come and go, the needs
as well as the blessings of the hospital
are becoming more generally known.
