to meet such possibility
Work in the direction Of placing Paris
ready Is far advanced along the whole
line of the periphery and will be pur-
sued henceforth with particular atten-
ton TO the arrangement Of inlets and
outlets to the city. Meanwhile the city
has been laying in extensive food sup
plies for many days and this work Is
still continuing.

are stll closed The moratorium which
paralyzed credit has paralyzed business
also. The merchants are all protesting
and the Ministry OF Finance Is con-

pires in Ave days.
Transportation within the city is much
improved. Cabs are generally available
several street car lines run regularly
and the subway is in operation, though
feebly. Many persons prefer to go
about on bicycles.
Food Is plentiful and the financial
stringency seems to have passed away

The constitution Of the new Ministry

combines the best men of all parties and
brings about what is regarded as very
necessary change in the Ministry OF
War. Alexandra Millcrand. the new
War Minister. has already acted in this
capaclty in former Cabinets.
Theophile Delcassc, the head OF inc

ot the time Of the Moroccan affair and
his appointment Is all the more faVor-
ably received because he was the chief

While It is probable that the chanGe
NJ Ministry will be criticised abroad as
being a case Of swapping horses while
crossing a stream" and will give rise
10 the supposition that there are IN
formal dissensions in the country, 1t is
in reality strong measure OF national
defence.
The inclusion OF two Unified Socialists
Marcel Sembat and Jules Guesde. Is re-
rarded as a particularly happy comol-
nation. According to the Mdtin the
idea of forming new Ministry existed
even before the opening of hostilities'
The change was finally decided upon a
few DAYS ago. The Cabinet includes
four former premlers. NJ. Niviani, Bril-
and. Ribot and Doumergue. The two
Unified Socialists are tho only Ministers
without previous Cabinet experience.
The question Of doubling the prin-
cipal Ministries by retaining the old
| holders Of portfolios and adding new
ones appears to have been under con

Mann Opposes mn.

Representative Mann, the Republican
leader. to-day made speech on the
sesman's bill In which he expressed
doubt as to the wisdom OF passing the
measure at this time He said that this
was a time in which the United States
should proceed slowly In making enact
ments affecting foreign countries. He
was wildly applauded, as he declared
that AZ this stage in the worlds affairs
IL was the duty OF the United States
10 preserve CIVILIZATION"
Mr.. Mann addressed himself part!cu-
larly to the provisions OF the bill affect
ing the treaty obligations OF the United
States on shipping questions.
The only thing that concerns me-"
said MIR Mann, lis to keep tho United
States AT peace with the world. fear
that some Of the warning nations may
look askance upon the growth of the
business in this country at the expense
Of foreign countries and some OF them
may think that we are passing this bill
now with the provision in II that | have
mentioned because they are unable Ia
protect themselves. II We keep our
heads, II We keep cool. II we do not be-
come hysterical. II We keep non partisan
I'm tho war that Is now going on. the
prosperity of the world will fall largely
i'm our laps aud the civilization OF the
world depends upon the attitude which
the United States OF America takes In
the present contest; We must preserve our
temper and preserve the civilization which
has come down to us"
Representative Humphreys OF Wash
ingto0, Republican, who was opposed &c
the section Of the bill imposing restric
tious regarding crews Of steamers. pre-
dirted that II the measure became a Law

Passed senate y Year Ago.

The seamsns bill, in more drastic
form passed the senate year ago. 1t
WAS brought out OF committee and passed
by the House upon the insistence Of or
:anized labor. In order to Illustrate ef-
forts made by organized labor to
strengthen the restrictive features OF the
measures the leaders were obliged to bring
IL in under conditions that prohibited the
Offering Of amendments.
Section - Of the bill is the provision
that critics OF the measure fear may lead
TO International complications. In the bill
arrest AS a punishment for desertion Is
abolished This applies to foreign as well
20 American seamen. and section is pro-
Vides that ninety days after the passage
of the act the President shall give notice
of intention on the part OF the United
States To terminate all treaties and con-
ventions In so far as they provide for
the arrest and imprisonment OF American
seamon who desert In foreign countries
and foreign seamen who desert In the
United States. The hill also provides
that upon the end OF n voyage a seaman,
either American or foreign. shall have the
right to demand half OF the wages due
him. and II refused, in the case OF a for
eign vessel. sue for the compensation due
him in an admiralty court
Critics OF the bill declare that the en-
forcement OF the provisions relating 10
desertion and the payment OF wages and
the direction given by Congress to the
President to terminate all conventions
Inconsistent with the law In these regards
may give serious offence to some bel
iRerent Power or at least involve the
United states In an international con-
troversy at a time when all such trouble
could be avoided.

clhc coast that II the bill became 'aw

CARNIVAL WILL COME.

At special meeting of the city council
held last Thursday evening the question
of allowing the Peoples Greater Carnival
Company to show here during the week
was thoroly aired and was finally dis
posed of by the council backing
Mayor Fritsche who had in good faith
granted the carnival company the
required permit. 1t will be remembered
that the Commercial Club at their last
regular meeting went on record as op-
posed to the granting of license to the
carnival company. On the strength of
several credentials shown him by the
advance agent, Mayor Fritsche had
granted license and took the ground
that under the circumstances he could
not and would not revoke the license.
Rev. Wheeler was present and asked
that the license be revoked if such a
thing were possible. Mr.. Woodruff who
represented the carnival company assured
the council that his shows were in no
way immoral and that any one of his five
attractions would be closed at once if
the city council should consider it in any
way offensive.
The balance of the evening was devoted
to discussion of the preliminary plans
and specifications prepared by City
Engineer Minimum for the paving of
Minnesota Street.

About fifty relatives and friends 81
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubert Berg pleasantly
surprised them at their home on South
German Street last Thursday evening.
The occasion was the 25th wedding
anniversary of this estimable couple.
The surprisers came laden down with
good things to eat and many beautiful
and useful presents and took complete
possession of the house, making them
selves very much at home. In this they
were assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. Berg who
saw to it that every one had good time.
There was music and games to entertain
the crowd and many enjoyed them
selves in social converse. A most
appetizing lunch was served late in the
evening and the surprisers then dispersed.
Mrs. Berg whose maiden name was
Carrie Roskopf was born in Menasha,
Wis, Sept. 5, 1864 and came to New
Ulm with her parents in 1866. Mr..
Berg was born in New Ulm Feb. 6, 1865,
and lived for quite number of years on
a farm in the Town of Sigel. The
jubilarians were united in marriage in
New Ulm, June II, 1889 and have lived
here ever since. They have four children
Miss Frances, Miss Ottilia, Hilarius and
Celinda, all of whom are at home except
Ottilia who resides in Minneapolis. She
was home, however, for this. festive
occasion. Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Mander-

Hauenstein captured the gold medal
with 1877 points, the high score of the
season. "Sepp" had gathered only
enough momentum to land him in Sd
place and Ed. Larson, altho he improved
last Sundays score by 80 points, failed to
shake off the hoodoo and the leather
medal is once more his. Last years

and threatening and at times a fine mist
did its best to make everything I'm
comfortable for the crowd. Only once
did the sun show his face, and that for
but short five minutes but everyone
seemed to have good time nevertheless
and to be grateful it did not pour. 1t
might SO easily have been worse.
The Turner Societies represented in
the Turntag were the St. Anthony OF
Minneapolis, the St. Paul and the New
Ulm. Some sixty from New Ulm took
part III the work, there being the Zoeg-
lingsverein, the young girls class and the
actives and ladies. The societies from
the cities had large classes also and in the
general review which was the first number
on the program there musr have been at
least one hundred seventy-fve taking
part.
The following program of exercises
was carried out and proved very in
teresting:
1. Mass Drill
2. Games Mount Ball, Relay Race
for Ladies.
8. Song: die Yacht am Rhein." and
@'Star Spangled Banner
4. Solo: Club Swinging, Herbert Wat

d. Dump bell Exercises Seniors.
Z. st. Paul Numbers:

b. Bar Bell Drill-Ladies.
C. Bow and Arrow-Actives.
8. High Jumping and Apparatus Work
Young America has splendid lacation
with large level field for the exercises
and grandstand and park to accom-
modate much larger crowds than that of
Sunday. It is quite likely that next
years Turntag will be delegated to New
Ulm as the City Societies are very fond
OF coming here for the event. That will
not be decided for some time, however,
tho there is little doubt it will be settled
that way.
The last number on the program
which was given by the combined classes
of the city societies was very fine, some
of the exhibition of skill on the bars being
s'thrillers'' Another feature Of the day
that added more or less excitement was
the New Ulm mascot, Sooner who
went in all his glad rags" bearing the
banner of his home town. Sooner is q
very loyal dog and took active part in
the exercises SO long as any of the New
ulm people were on the field.
The visitors were cared for at private
homes and the meals that the Young
America people served will be long and
gratefully remembered by the hungry
folks who partook Of them. There was
dance in the pavilion at the City Park
where the youngsters enjoyed themselves
hugely. The Second Regiment Band of
New Ulm furnished their usual brand
OF excellent music for the field exercises
and for street concert in the evening
just before the trains left for the return
trip.
