Khartoum, March 16. - Colonel
Roosevelt's second day in Khartoum
was given up largely to sightseeing
and the most interesting place Of all
to the former president was the battle

The first halt was made at the mon

this battle the lancers made desper-

fell in ambush at one of the dry wa

dervishes. The guides took the party
to the very donga where the spearmen

directly with their fremen and en-
deavor to adopt scale Of wages and
a working agreement that will prevent
the strike threatened on AZ Western

Hawley roads is their dissatisfaction
with the results OF the parlcy of tho
general managers and the switchmen,
which resulted In strike Of switch

The locomotive firemcn OF those rail

H. G. Hardin, chairman of the Fire

dresses.

St. Paul, March 17.-Minnesota In
augurated its first conservation con-
gress before an audience which crowd
ed the St. Paul auditorium, Governor
Eberhart delivering the opening ad,
dress to a notable assemblage. The
serious faces before the speaker, the
intense interest accorded him, bespoke
the spirit of the congress.
The first day, which pronounced the
Minnesota conservation congress a
success, was most interesting one.
When the auditorium became dark. it
was after having housed large and in
terested audiences, which had come
to listen to speakers representing the
most varied interests in the states as
we'll as notable national figures.
1t was the present governor who in
augurated the conservation congress, it
has been his spirit which has propelled
it to success and it was his voice
which sounded both the greatness Of
Minnesota and with prophetic signifi-
canoe, indicated the marvellous future
which is in store for the North Star
commonwealth.
BaIInger Brings Message.
Near the governor sat Richard A.
Ballinger, secretary of the interior-a
man prominent in the public eye as the
central figure in most notable con-
troversy.
He had como to Minnesota to speak
for conservation-to voice his indivi-
dual ideal of the kind of conservation
that should prevail and to extend one
of the most pleasing compliments that
could be paid a state.
'After ALL" said Mr.. Bnllinger,
"even the most wonderful opportuni-
ties that a state or country has will
avail little If there are not the right
kind of people there to take advantage
Of them. When God made Minnesota
he made the best state in the country,
and when he made the people who in
habit it, he apparently did his best"
In addition to these men, there were
others notable in politics, business
and agriculture. Former Congressman
]. Adam Bede, nervous and intensely
interested, was present. So was State
Senator 8. D. Works of Mankato, a
prominent Democratic leader. Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern Pa.
cific railroad, occupied prominent
place on the stage.
From the time that Archbishop Tro-
land, who presided at the opening
session, introduced the first speaker,
Clinton r. Woodruff, representing the

progress, development and conscrva-

Followed by Missiles and Hoots In His
Flight to Safety-British Brokers
Angry Over "corner"-Patten Is
Indignant.

Manchester, England, Mar. 12-
James A. Patten, king of the Chicago
wheat pit and heavy operator in Amer
lean cotton, was driven from the Man
chester cotton exchange by a volley
of bricks and other missiles and was
compelled to seek refuge in business
house to save himself from the wrath
of British brokers.
: Hoots and cat calls followed the exit
OF the American Spectator, who had
been in the cotton pit during the fore
noon. Bricks and stones were hurled
at him as he fed into the street and
the danger of still further violence
was averted only when he sought
refuge in nearby shop.
Feeling Against Patten.
Manchester is the principal cotton
market of England and most of the
big cotton cloth mills are located
here.' Public feeling against Patten
has been very high since the recent
corner in which he was credited with
having increased the price of the raw
material to a figure beyond what it
had been since the civil war. This
feeling. shared by workmen of the
mills and brokers in the pit, was re-
sponsible for the demonstration.
The presence of Mr.. Patten in the
cotton pit Of the exchange caused sur
prise, as just before leaving New
York for England he had been quoted
by the press as denying that he would
visit any. of the exchanges while
abroad and as saying that his trip
had no relation to business.
Convinced Patten Not Frank.
The British traders, however. in con-
sequence of the incident, are con-
WINGED that Mr.. Patten was not quite
frank with the reporters in New York
and that his mission here really is of
business nature.
Mr.. Patten was indignant over the
attack on him and said that he could
conceive Of no reason for the humilia-
ton to which he had been subjected.
