Flotllla Meets Him at Quarantine.
More than month ago every avail
able craft in New York harbor had
been engaged for the day, and nu-
merous big organizations, like the Re-
publican club of New York and the
Hamilton club Of Chicago, had char
tered regular coast line steamers.
Early in the morning this immense
hotilla sailed far down the bay, and
when, about 9 o'clock, the scouting
tugs and motor boats came flying in
with the word that the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria was approaching, all
made ready for the first greeting.
AS the big liner came into sight, ev-

enthusiastic on the subject of life in
the open than his father and brother
Kermit. He has always been of
studious nature and his romance with
Miss Alexander is said to have had
Its beginnings in the mutual love Of;
these young people for music. For all
that Teddy, Jr.," has eschewed the
sensational in outdoor athletics, he did
participate two years ago in a bal
loon flight from Washington, in which
he and the two army officers who
were his fellow passengers had some:
rather exciting experiences.
There was no little surprise on the
part OF the public when Theodore, Jr.,
upon the completion of his college
course two years ago, chose a bust
ness career as his life work, and still
more wonder was aroused when he
took employment in Connecticut car
pet factory in order to gather knowl-
edge at first hand of the practical side
OF carpet manufacture. He started at
the lowest round of the ladder, as an
unskilled workman at a small salary.
Or course he was promoted as he mas
tered the tntricacies of the business.

to Colonel Roosevelt, resulting in the
speedy receipt Of his approval and

Mrs. Harrington. who is engaged to

late Mr.. w. E. Harrington of Worden,

the commission will justify. The en-
tire Minnesota delegation at Washing
ton is Endorsed without distinction.
This latter feature is the final chapter
in the attempt made last summer to
distinguish between the men who vot-
ed against the tariff bill and Congress-
man Tawney who voted for it. -
The state administration is COM
mended, and good roads plank is a
feature of the platform. Conservation
is made the dominant note in the plat
form. There are practically no state
issues other than this.
The success of the state conserva-
ton congress Is noted and an appeal
made for continued effort along the
line of conservation program.
The insurgent resolutions offered by
Hugh Il. Halbert, who was recently
connected with the reported third par
ty movement, were as follows:
+ I'VE the Republicans of the state
of Minnesota in convention assembled
do hereby reafirm our unalterable
support of the policy promulgated by
Theodore Roosevelt.
I'VE are unqualifedly in favor of
the conservation of our natural and
state resources along the lines sug-
gested by him during his administra-
ton.
eve are in favor of tariff revision
downward and we unhesitatingly COM
mend the action of those of our sena-
tors and congressman who voted
against the Payne-Aldrich bill, which
we denounce as a reputation of the
pledges of the Republican party to the
American people" z.,S - 80 = = -
County option lost out in the con-
vention, as was expected, yet made a
stronger showing than was anticipated,
and succeeded in landing the nominal
ton OF lieutenant governor in the per-
son of S. Y. GORDON of Browns Valley.
The real spirit of the convention was
exercised in connection with the can
didacies of Justice c.. L. Lewis and
Judge Homer B. Dibell, both Of Du.
luth, for the supreme court.
From the very first time that the
Duluth lawyers put forward the name
of Judge Dibell, he has had no chance
of nomination. The Duluth men may
have been sincere. enough, but the rest
of the state interpreted their action
as an attempt to punish Justice Lewis
for his decision in the wide open tax
amendment.
They went after the Duluth men
without mercy, and Judge Dibell was
sacrificed.

The tariff has ceased to be a bone
of contention in Minnesota, so far as
the official expression of a state con-

Conservation has been declared for

started. It was originally intended
to conclude the reception with mon
ster parade, and invitations were u.s.
sued to various organizations through
out the country. Within a few days,
however, the committee was flooded
with so many applications that the
parade feature had to be in part aban-
doned. Organizations from Maine to
California and from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes requested places in the
line of march, and if the project had
been carried out, the procession would
have extended from the Battery to
the Harlem river and back again, a
distance of 20 miles, and the people
who had travelled hundreds of miles
to see Roosevelt would have been de-
pr1ved Of the pleasure. In order to
overcome this obstacle so that no one
would be offended, unique arrange.

Washington, D. C. The United

during the month Of May on 1897 ,261
acres of coal land Withdrawals. of
which 329,334 acres were classified as
non-coal lands. The coal lands, valued
by forty acres units, according to the
estimated tonnage, were reported as
worth $58,508,120. Under the mini.
mum price fixed by law for coal lands
which obtained until a few years ago,
these lands would have been valued
at only $13,32O,390.
