Teutonie Diplomats Angry Over Ru.
mors Of Strained Relationships
Diaz Didn't Offer Germany
coaIing Station.

Berlin, July 13.-Germany has TAX
en- no stand in opposition to the
United States in the affairs of Central
and South America. Germany has
issued no statement that could be con-
strued in to antagonism of the Amer
lean government in what that govern
ment has done, is doing, or may do,
in Nicaragua This declaration was
made at the German foreign Office
Special dispatches received here
from Washington and other American
cities reported that the German for
eign office had issued q statement that
Germany refuses to recognize any
right on the part Of the United States
to supervise her diplomatic relations
with other countries, Central and
South American countries in general
and Nicaragua in particular" 1
Rumor 10 Denied.
When this report was placed before
the foreign Office 1t was given an en-
phatic denial. No such statement, an
official declared angrily, had been Is
sued by that department or by any
other department of the German gov.
eminent. #s
German government officials are
greatly wrought up by the attempts
made to have this country appear in q
role Of antagonism to the United
States, whenfi on the contrary, 1t has
been the desire of the government to
develop both the commercial and dip
lomatic relations with America.
The present situation has arisen
from the publication of letter from
Emperor William to DR.. Madriz, presi-
dent de facto of the government Of
Nicaragua. In several quarters ap-
parently the significance of this letter
has been misjudged, and it became
necessary in order that no wrong con-
struction might be placed on the let
ter to issue statement through the
foreign ONCE explaining that the let
ter was merely formal acknowledg.
ment Of a notice received from Ma
driz of his election to the presidency.
Germany to Keep OF.
This explanation was accompanied
by the statement that Germany had
no intention Of intervening in any
way in Nicaraguan affairs and that
the reported offer by Madriz of a
coaling station to European power
II 1t would intervene in Nicaragua
was not made to Germany.
The emperor's letter to DR.. Madriz
was dated April rs and said:
II am informed by your letter of
che 9th of December Of last year that
your excellency was elected president
Of the republic by the merited conf
dencs of your fellow citizens and that
your excellency entered upon your
most honorable duties on the 21st OF
that month"
An expression Of the usual diplomat.
ic good wishes and desire for the cul.
tivation Of good relations between the
two countries followed.

Wis. DEMOCRATS CONVENE
VOTING ON STATE TICKET Is
HoTLY CARRIED ON.
Adolph Schmitz, Of Milwaukee, Likely
Candidate to Run for
Governor.

Milwaukee, July 13.-After a hot
fight on the floor of the state Demo
cratic convention the Ball-Horn reso-
luton scoring the Democratic legis-
lators who walked out in the last leg
islature during the voting for Isaac
Stephenson for the United States sen.
ate was passed.
The convention also voted down q
resolution favoring the initiative, ref.
erendum and recall. The resolution
favoring a tax on franchises was also
voted down.
At 12:45 in the morning the con-
vention was in the midst of voting as
to whether or not state ticket shall
be named. It seemed likely that the
motion to proceed with nominations
would carry, and that Adolph K.
Schmitz of Milwaukee, would be
named to head the ticket.
State Chairman Joseph A. Davies
and John A. Awkward of Madison,
spoke in strong terms against the
naming Of a ticket, while Daniel H.
Grady Of Portage, and Burt Williams
took the opposite view.
The principal planks in the platform
adopted by the convention favor home
rule; amending the constitution so
that United States senators may be
elected by direct vote, conservation
and government control Of the natural
resources of state and nation; publ.
cation Of campaign contributions; en-.
actment of stringent corrupt practices
act; and denouncing the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law.

SCHOOLHOUsE IS DYNAM|TE0
SCARE IN LITE TOWN AS ExPLo.
SloNs AWAKE PEOPLE.
Fire Heretofore Has Been the Weapon
OF Unknown
Forces.

Minneapolis, July 1.-Two attempts
were made to blow up the little frame
schoolhouse in the village of Hamel,
Medina township. rs miles from Min
neapolis.
A saloon war, which has resulted in
three attempts to burn the saloon of
John Stott within the last Is months,
Is thought to be at the bottom of the
attempt to destroy the school.
Incidentally the affair has brought
to light the fact that the board Of
county commissioners illegally granted
licenses to the two Hamel saloons, one
for IA years and the other for two
years. ... F.. 49,
Neighborhood Is Aroused.
At o'clock in the morning the neigh
borhood was awakened by loud ex-
plosion and upon investigation 1t was
found that kerosene had been poured
in the vestibule and q stick of dyna-
mite exploded there. The explosion,
however, put out any fire which might
have started. ....',
Hamel is not an incorporated village
and the law requires that the county
commissioners grant no license to
saloon which is within 1900 feet of
schoolhouse.
For the past IA years James Sheri-
dan has conducted a saloon $40 feet
from the school without protest. o..
The saloon of John Stott, Lilo feet
from the school, was first given
license May g. 1908, and has had
permit ever since, renewal being
granted May rs.
Since March 3, 1909, there have been
three attempts to burn the Stott sa-
loon. On the night of March 81, Will
lam Hamel, who lives near by, saw
man pouring kerosene on the side of
the saloon and trying to light it. He
gave chase firing three shots over Ham
els head.
On April 10, 1909, at 4:30 a. m, an.
other attempt was made to burn the
place, and last fall a private detec.
tive employed by Stott found bun.
die Of dry wheat straw and kerosene
under the floor. This is still on exhj
bition as curio in the place.

GLACIERS ROAR OVER ALASKA
Monstrous River of Ice Crunch
Through Far Northern Valleys.

juneau, Alaska, July ia great
glacier in Rainy Hollow, near Hams,
Alaska, is moving at the prodigious
rate of IL feet day. Huge masses
of ice are falling with thunderous
noise over the precipice at whose
brink the glacier discharges.
This is a season of glacial advance
all over Alaska. Never before has
such rapid extension Of the ice rivers
been known in the history of the
world. The theory is that avalanches
caused by earthquakes are responsible
for the increased flow. The National
Geographical society has an expedition
in Alaska studying the phenomenon.
