October 2S.-The reassembling of parliament today drew large crowds to Westminster, despite the fact that the opening of the session was devoid of sumptuous ceremony or the appearance of royalty, as this was merely a rcsump- ton of the business of the preceding ses- sion.

The public galleries were overflowing with visitors Former Premier Halfour was unexpected ly present, and received a hearty greeting from the opposition members.
 Joseph Chamberlains absence was mo- tceable He is still nursing his attack of gout.
 The initial business in the house was largely of q routine nature, preparatory to the continuance of the debates on the merchants shipping and trades disputes bills.
 Later the house of lords was the chief center of interest MT Reid and the other diplomats leaving the house of commons to witness the entry of the peers and the lord chancellor taking his seat on the traditional wool-sack. Little important business was transacted. as the main con

MINNESOTA ELECTION
ALL or THE REPUBLICAN CON.
GRESSMEN ARE PROBABLY
RENOMlNATED.

st. Paul, Sept 19.-Indications are
that Minnesota will have one new face
In congress next year, F. M. Nye of
Minneapolis. Apparently all the con-
gressmen who ran this year are re-
nominated. All the Minnesota con-
gressmen are Republicans. The only
one in doubt is Buchanan of the Sixth,
who is running close to Lindbergh.
Stevens beat Rogers nearly three to
one in the Fourth district, and Nc
Cleary beat Gutterson by safe ma
jority in the Second district
The Hennepin situation is not yet
certain, but Frank M. Nye will prob
ably be nominated, with Eustis close
second. A. r. Hall and w. D. Wash
burn, Jr., the other candidates, are re-
ceiving small vote. Frank Larabee,
the Democratic candidate, had no op-
position.
The Sixth district was the only dis
trict where there was any Democratic
contest for nomination. M. G. Tiff of
Long Prairie won easily over c. D.
Auyer of Little Falls by large per-
centage The vote was not heavy, as
all expected Tiff to win, and no fight
was made. Tiff was the candidate of
the organization Of the party.
Both Buchanan and Lindbergh claim
the victory in the Sixth district, and
1t will probably not be decided until
all the precincts are heard from. The
returns so far received, however, give
Buchanan little the better of it.
Definite figures could not be OBJ
tanned from the Eighth, but enough
returns are in to indicate Bede's cleo
tion. Bede is conceded Duluth by $50
by the opposition, but Millar seems to
have run well in the outlying parts of
st. Louis county. Bede, however,
seems to have run far enough ahead
In the other counties to give him a
safe majority for the nomination

INSURGENTS ARE ovERAWEp.

landing of Bluejackets Prevents De-
struction of Property.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Acting Sec
retary of State Adee has received a
dispatch from Mr.. Sleeper, the Ameri-
can charge at Havana, concerning the
situation on the island, but in view of
the prospective arrival in Havana Of
Secretaries Taft and Bacon the con-
tents of the dispatch were not dis
closed.
It is believed to have dealt with
the attitude of the Cuban government
and the insurgents toward the Ameri-
can officials and the consideration to
be given their mission.
It is not known here what course
Secretary Taft and Mr.. Bacon will
pursue on their arrival in Havana.
Commander Fullam of the gunboat
Marietta cabled the navy department
Tuesday that the landing force seems
to have overawed the insurgents and
that there is at present no anticipa-
ton of further destruction of prop
erty. Commander Fullam has 100
bluejackets on the Marietta, $50 on
the Dixie and 900 marines. The first
landing force consisted of bluejackets
from the Marietta and it is supposed
that his telegram relates to this force,
as no mention is made of any troops
from the Dixie.
Information was received at the
state department late Tuesday from
M. r. Spellman Of the Colonial Cuban
company, at New York, that he had
been advised of the destruction Tues
day morning Of the Esperanza estate
near Cienfuegos, Cuba. The estate
was burned by Colonel Collada and a
band of insurgents. 1t is nos known
whether Colonel Collada was IN
aware of the suspension of hostilities
or merely was acting as an outlaw.
All the ships Of the navy destined
for Cuba at present are on the sea
and it is expected they will constitute
sufficient force unless peace plans
fail and Intervention becomes neces-
sary.
Commander Colwell OF the cruiser
Denver cabled the navy department
Tuesday from Havana saying that
things were quieting generally and
the leaders were discussing peace
| terms.
General Frederick Funston, who Is
now on his way to Washington under
orders from the war department, will
probably be assigned to command the
army in Cuba If intervention should
| be found necessary.

which Mr.. Chandler is also member.
The ascent was made from the grounds Of the
United Gas Improvement Company Athletic AS

for the flight were witnessed by few people, as
the grounds are inelosed and none but invited
guests were permitted to enter. None of the
families Of the amateur aeronauts was present
with the exception Of Arthur Chandler a brother
of the man in the car.
The balloon, called the Initial contained AZ, 900

ty-flVe feet straight up into the air. Then an
