SENATE IS LIKELY TO YIELD
Public Opinion and Fear Of Democrats
Affect Elder Statesmen.

Washington, Feb. 14-Pressure of
public opinion from the country at
large is beginning to show it's effect
upon congress in behalf of President
Taft's Canadian reciprocity policy. 1t
begins to look as if the senate will be
whipped into line for the legislation
and will be forced to accept it, despite
the feeling of hostility among the old
guard and the standpatters.
The standpatters find themselves on
the horns of dilemma. They are
threatened with a greater measure of
tariff reduction in the long run if they
do not accept this Canadian pact now.
President Taft has stated repeatedly
that if the senate by dilatory tactics
should prevent action on reciprocity
he will call an extra session of con-
gress early in March.
1t is well known that in such event
the Democrats will not content them
selves with acting upon reciprocity
alone but will also take up one of the
schedules of the tariff law, the wooden
schedule probably, and revise it, tack
ing the revision onto the reciprocity
bill.

GIVE MUCH GOOD HELP
Sunday School Institutes Are Great
.E
Thing, Says a Minister.

When one of the leading ministers
of Minnesota returned from the State
Sunday School Convention held at
Minneapolis last year, he said:
''This convention has given a post
graduate education in Sunday school
work" This is just what all Min
nesota, Sunday school conventions do
for those who attend. them. They
are more than conventions; they are
great educational Institutes which
provide in three days, and education
in Sunday school work better than
can be obtained in years study of
Sunday school books. It is worth
sacrifice of time and money on the
part of any Sunday school worker.
Minnesota's fifty-third Sunday
school convention to be held in Man
kato, March 1910 next will be Min
nesota's greatest. 1t will consider
methods for all DIVERSIONS and De-
partments of the Sunday school,
special studies in the problems of
Elementary, adolescent and adult
methods, Bible Study, Missions, Ped
agogy, Music, Adult Bible Glass
Work and special emphasis will be
placed on the spiritual side of the
work. Every Sunday school in our
county is expected to send a pastor,
superintendent and department ST.
perintendents and as many others as
can be induced to attend. A great
parade on Friday night, March TO-
1000 men in line of march. A great
mems Bible class demonstration.

Vote In House to Take Up Canadian
Reciprocity Northwest Is OPP
posed.
STEVENSON AGAINST BILL
Democrats Vote Almost Solidly for
Action On the Matter At the
Present Time. =

Washington, Feb. 14.-By a vote of
1875 to 121 the house decided to begin
Immediate consideration of the Mccall
bill to ratify the reciprocity agreement
with Canada b.. S..
On the motion that the house should
proceed to the consideration of the
measure the members from the North
west voted as follows
Against-Messrs. Hammond, Davis,
Lindbergh, Miller, STEVENSON and Vol
stead of Minnesota, Burke and Martin
of South Dakota and Hanna of North
Dakota. All the Iowa members OK
cept Representative Walter I. Smith.
For-Messrs. Nye, Stevens and Taw-
ney Of Minnesota.
The motion to consider the agree
ment was made by Representative
Samuel w. Mccall of Massachusetts.
Under the rules the day was set apart
for the consideration of District of
Columbia business. Representative
Clarence B. Miller Of Duluth objected
" S1ucC1 dChAA6 CA0 D4SLA1SI U11tS. =.
Miller Explains His Vote.
II didn't vote against reciprocity,
but for the District of Columbia day."
said Mr.. Miller. THE District has
been denied it's day for a long time.
I shall vote for the reciprocity bill. I
know of many others who voted as
did and for the same reason"
Representative Smith, who is op-
posed to the Canadian agreement,
voted for it's consideration on the
ground that the administration was
entitled to an early hearing. r.
While the vote to displace the regu-
lar order On the house calendar and
take up reciprocity cannot be accepted
as an exact indication of the final vote
on the bill it is regarded as being ap-
proximately so. The vote against TAX
ing up the measure came almost
wholly from the Republican side.
The Democrats voted almost solidly
for immediate consideration. Some of
the Republicans who voted against
displacing the regular order are not
expected to place themselves on rec
ord against reciprocity at final vote.
Representative S. w. Mccall OF
Massachusetts, handled the time for
debate in favor Of the bill.
Analysis Of the Vote.
The voting on the motion to take up
the reciprocity measure was followed
with the keenest interest. On yea
and nay vote there are always two
calls through the alphabetical list. At
the end of the first call it was seen
that the reciprocity advocates we're
winning comparatively easy victory.
The vote then was ayes 17S, noes ITO.
At the end of the second call, the vote
was announced as 1875 to 121.
This was later changed to 1876 to 121
to correct a clerical error.
An analysis of the vote to take up
The Mccall bill showed this result:
For-Repubucans, go; Democrats,
1876; total, 1876.
neutrality-suspicious.. 101; Demo.
Gratis. 20; total, 121.
The Republican insurgents attitude
toward reciprocity was shown by the
fact that fourteen voted against con.
R6oration and only six for it.

REMER 4 GROWING TOWN
Best, Its Citizens Say, Between Du-
luth and Bemidji.

Remer, Mimi, Feb. 14.-Immedi-
ately after the sale of town lots on
Sept. G., 1910, B. M. Patten & Co.
moved their store to their present To-
cation. About the same time the
Batchelder Lumber company, Troen-
die Tie & Cedar company, and Hotel
Remer began excavating. The hotel
is large two story building. About
Nov.1 the postofice was built, also
the building occupied by the Remer
Land company. A livery barn and
blacksmith shop we're built soon af-
ter. While this was being done the
500 people employed about twenty
five carpenters building one of the
finest stations on the line and also
two station houses. Within the last
week the First State Bank of Remer
was started and the Remer Lumber
company is putting in a stock.
Owing to the fact that over 1900
persons are in or near Remer it is
evident that these business places
are sure of success. The land around
Remer cannot be excelled for farm
ing and dairying purposes. The set
tiers are also able to get enough tim
Der for full set of buildings while
clearing. Remer will become the
main town on the 500 Line between
Duluth and Bemidji.
The Reishus-Remer Land company
is preparing to plat forty acres into
acre lots.

but do not recall intense opposition
to the proposed treaty on any &C.

President Elliott's visit to Inter-
national Falls was of brief duration.
While he did not hear any discussion
bearing on reciprocity, but he did
not see why the treaty should not be
met with as much favor along the
Canadian line as in the small towns
just short distance south.

Former Bemidji Boy vii Wrestle in
Duluth Week From
Thursday.
ONE OF FIVE BEST WRESTLERS
Northern Minnesota Man Returns to
Duluth As the American Cham
pion Wrestler.

In last evenings issue of the Du-
luth Evening Herald, that paper has
the following to say concerning the
wrestling match which has been ar
ranged for that city between kid
Cutler, formerly of this city, and Ole
Sampson:
"Charles Kid Cutler, the Big Be
midi boy who has wrestled his way
up to the American championship,
will meet Ole Sampson in a finish
match in this city Feb. 23
This match will also show the
wrestling fans what big Sampson can
do. He has long waited for the
chance, and the matching with the
famous Kid Cutler will give it to
him.
Here it might be stated that
Sampson held the championship belt
of Helsingfors, Finland, and has also
won first and second prizes in the big
wrestling tournaments of Sweden.
Since coming to the United States,
Sampson has wrestled some very
good men and has beaten them.
He has met and defeated Hans
Weston, Peter Manard, Hans Coke,
Charles Gustofson, Canadian middle
weight Champion; has defeated Carl
Nusch, one of the strongest of the
Germans, the match being decided at
Hogwam. WASH; defeated Carl Lin
drus in Wyoming, and defeated John
Soderlund at Ironwood.; has defeated
Martin Johnson on two occasions, and
has also taken two straight falls from
Ole Johnson as Cloquet.
''Cutler's coming will bring a sort
of native son back here The new
American champion is known all
through this district 1t was in this
part of the state that he first took I'D
athletics. Of exceptional strength
and big when mere youngster, Cut
Ter took readily to the athletic game
and soon gave promise of developing
into a good man. But his most en-
thusiastic friends never dreamed that
he would some day become the Amer
lean wrestling champion.
His defeat of Henry Ordemann
the other evening stamps him as the
best of the Americans, and as Cutler
is only something like "a years of
age, he has unlimited opportunity
ahead of him.
Duluth people have always taken
a very deep interest in the work of
Cutler. He was here one time with
John L. Sullivan since he left this
part of the country to seek athletic
fame, and that is about the only
chance DuluJhians and fans from the
town of Bemidji have had to see the
big boy. When here with Sullivan,
Cutler was little known. He was
simply a strong boy with lots of
nerve and the willingness to learn.
Now he is the American champion
wrestler and one of the five great
stars of the mat game
George Hackenschmidt last night
got two falls from Cutler. The first
was a toe and body hold in / hour, 3
minutes and seconds The second
fall was with a toe lock in ! 0 minutes
and 20 seconds Americas and Fred
Bell wrestled one hour without fall

AIDED by HIS Tour.
Washington, Feb. A. Returning
from his reciprocity tour President
Taft's first step was an attempt to
ascertain the strength of the oppo-
sition of Speaker Cannon to the bill.
1t is the presidents opinion that
the bill will have better chances now
than if it is allowed to wait until the
various sources of opposition have
time to concentrate.
He feels he put his best foot for

campaign was made in the camp of
the opposition, he will be satisfied
with any gain. however slight.

ROOT CAN'T EXPLAIN
THAT MISSING $500
Says It Was Approved by Sec
rotary Hay For Secret Fund.-

Washington, June 7.-Senator Root
was unable to give the house commit
tee on expenditures Investigating the
state department much information on
the disbursement of the '$245O ap-
proved for the payment of picture OF
former Secretary Day, for which the
artist, Albert Rosenthal, of Phlladel-
phia, received only $3.50.
While secretary of state, Mr.. Root
said. he had the case investigated. Ii
resulted in the finding of a paper
showing Secretary Hays approval OF
the payment of $2450 from the emer-
gency or secret" fund of the depart
ment. Payments from this fund were
made upon approval of the secretary
without receipt or vouchers.
The committee may never learn
where the $1,000 unaccounted for went.
1t was said at the state department
that Secretary Knox probably would
not testify.
Senator Root told the committee he
was convinced the former chief clerk,
Michael, reported that the $500 had
been expended under the direction OF
Secretary Hay for purposes of which
it was not desired to leave record.
Mr.. Hamlin, chairman of the com
mittee, introduced his bill to provide
for a point committee of six, to whom
the secretary of state shall report an
nually all expenditures of the depart
ment from the fund provided for In
tercourse or treaty with foreign ma
tions. Misappropriation from the fund
the bill provides, shall be treated as

Wreck of RattIeship Comes Into View


Havana, June Z. The work OF
pumping the water out of the Golfer
dam which was built around the wreck
of the battleship Maine was resumed.
The water had. been lowered a total
depth of three feet, two inches. At that
time the top and sides of the wrecks
afterdeck were beginning to come into
view and the sighting hood of the
after-turret on the port side was just
awash.
The greater part of the afterdeck is
now clearly visible, showing the con-
fused masses of wreckage covered
with marine growths. The forward
part of the ship, upon which the
greatest force of the explosion was ex-
erted, is still submerged.
1t is the intention of the army en-
gineers to proceed slowly with the
pumping until the level of the water
will have been lowered five feet, and
then suspend all operations until the
arrival of the board of American army
officers.
After the American officers arrive
the work of removing the water from
the cofferdam and preparing the wreck
for full inspection will proceed ra-
pidly.

Nobody can doubt the need for a

isn't a question now. Cascarets are
known to embody the only laxative
which acts in gentle and natural
way. Castor oil merely greases the
bowels. Cathartics and salts, acting
as pepper acts in the nostrils, flush
the bowels with fluids. But those
fluids are digestive juices, and we
will lack them tomorrow if We

Cascarets alone cause the mus

AVIATOR LOST In SEA

Nothing Heard of Lieutenant 5asue,
Who Started For Corsica.
Nice, France, June mo news has
been received of Lieutenant Bague,
the French aviator, who left here for
a 150-mile oversee trip to Corsica, and
hope that he is safe in some isolated
place has almost been abandoned.
The general impression now is that
the daring airman has met the same
fate as Cecil Grace, the English flyer,
who was never heard from after he
went into the air for return trip over
the English channel from Calais to
Dover.
The search for Lieutenant Bague is
being continued in the hope that he
may have landed in some inaccessible
place and is waiting for help. This is
what happened to him last March in
his flight over the Mediterranean from
Antilles to the Island of Gorgona.
