MADItll), Fob. 12. Whispered rumors,
which aro not supported by tangible facts,
say that Madrid is on tho vergo of u tumult.
The government, however, Is calmly pro
ceeding to enrry out tho details for tho
wedding of tho princess of tho Asturias to
Princn Chariot, of Uourbon, but tho street
corners, cafes ond hotel corrtdorB teem
with disturbing storlct.
Tho stiout, "Long llvo the army!" Is the
most serious sign. Should It tnko n rent
hold on thn people, nnd should tho fever
reach tho army Itself, tho outcomo would
he threatening. Tho current talk represents
tho army as being dissatisfied and ub an
nouncing that It does not Intend to take
Up arms against the people so long us their
opposition Is directed ugulnst tho Jesuits
and tbo count ot Caserta. Tho feeling
against tho former In largely political, but
a real and dcep-scuted antagonism exists
against thn fonuor Carllst loaders.
Tho decision of tho high court today fa
voring the contention of tho mother In the
Ubao case, giving the daughter Into hor
chargo nnd releasing her from tho convent,
is likely to have n soothing effect.
Another stop In tho marriage ceremony
occurs at tho paluco tonight at P o'clock,
when the formal contract will bo signed.
Tho dukn of Sotomnyor, the grand cham
berlain, has extended un Invitation to tho
ministry to bo among the witnesses, He
Ides tho royal parly, tho ministry and tho
palace officials and tho witnesses no others
will bo present. All tho parties to tho wed
ding aro domiciled In tho royal palace.
They, therefore, nrnnot obliged to exposo
themselves to the public, tho wedding oc
curring within the chapel of tho palace It
self at 11 o'clock Thursday morning.
Up to iho profit tho city Is perfectly
calm.

General Tremaln Introduced Judge John
N. IJnldwIn of Council Minn's, who made tho
orntlon of tho evening In respoiiBo to the
toast. Ho was frequently appluuded. Judge
Ilaldwln suld, In part:
From IIiiMm Iii'n Aililres.
It Is suld that this Is no longer a gov
ernment r.-ishlonrd lifter the precepts nnd
principles of Abraham Lincoln, Unit the
declaration that nil men lire created equal
Is unheeded: that capital mid labor nre
opposed itml tincomimiulcatlng; that It Is
tho Idea of iniinimoii and machinery that
tho Ilnnncbil system Is u conspiracy against
tho human rare; that imperialism nnd mili
tarism are tho spirit of the times unci that
forts :iro conveniently located so that u
standing nrmy cun suppress by forco dis
content among tho laboring people. If
tbeso conditions do really exist they put
tbo stnto In iliiimer, nnd If not amended
will destroy It. if these conditions do not
exist, hut by certulti peculiar practices,
prophecies mid platform are made so to
nppear to C.OOO.OCW voters, wo have a social
anomaly which also bids peril to tho
statu.
What Oik- Party Hns Done.
Hecent records show that n pnrty In
Its effort to Investlgnto and snlvo these
questions and difficulties' summoned the
expert rather than the eye-witness, con
sulted Ibu prognostlciitors rather than the
practical, gathered men In swarm-, nnd
so charmed them that they wore prepared
to receive tbo "stupidest absurdities as
axioms of Huclld;" a party whoso lender
upiH-iiIed to tho suhllmest declaration of
Independence und equality' ono moment
and tho next to passions nnd prejudices
of his auditors; fulminated against cer
tain governmental policies and yet nwiiru
before tho assessor that under three
years of the administration of theso self
samo policies his rstato was Increased
HI to 1 and a fraction over; declared onn
day that "ho did not believe In weighing
the dollar against human life or liberty"
and the next, weighing his words,
shouted, "Great Is Tammany, and Croker
Is Its prophet," and yet tho same records
show that theso schemes, dreams, falsi
ties, abstractions and practices, destitute
of everything hut proportion In their pre
sentment, received the support and ap
proval of nearly one-half of tho voters
In this country. That such a. party with
such a lender nnd with Just simplicity
enough to confuse, Just sincerity enough to
pretend and Just truth enough to deceive
could thus be sanctioned by so largo a
proportion of tho American peoplo almost
passes belief.
Pnrty of Safely.
Tho poor, discontented nud distressed can
safely lenvo thelr.ciiuse In the blinds of
those who would chdouvor nt least to de
termlno It according to tbo principles of
Abraham Lincoln; ho who worked unself
ishly for man and In who-o lurgu heart
with Its largo bounty wretchedness found a
solaeement und they that wero wandering
In darkness, tbo light as of a home; bo
who stands In crowned sovereignty, the
simplest, gentlest mid noblest of men.
Tho hlrtli of Oeorge Washington whs Ills
sign of American Ireedom. The death of
Aliriihairi Lincoln wits Its consummation.
When Washington died part only was free.
AVhen Lincoln died then" wns no slave.
The name spirit of civil liberty that ani
mated Washington in bis struggle to mako
this laud free and Lincoln to mako man
free Is today moving over the waters of
our governmental life. It recognizes no
limitations and has no frontiers. It will
iiinvn as enslly and assuredly over nu
ocean as It has over state, treaty and

Urynn said:
At this time when the money changers
are In absolute control of tho government
and are shaping tho nation's tlmiuclal pol
icy In their own Interests without regard
for thn welfare of the people at large, we
need to recall Jefferson's arraignment of
those who demanded the surrender Into
their hands of thn sovereign functions of
their sovernment.
At this time when eorporato monopoly Is
fast extinguishing Industrial Indopendenco
we need a revival of tbo JulTersoulaii spirit,
which dellnes government udmtnlstered no
cording to tho doctrine of equal rights to
all and special privileges to pone.
At this Minn when commercialism Is
searing the conscience of the nation, when
tho worship of Mammon Is lending the
peopln to Ignore Innllennhln rights; when
tho Ideals bought with blood and sucrlllco
nro to be bartered awny for thn delusive
promises of empire at this time, I repeat,
wo need to have our faith In man as man
and our lovo for man as brother, rekindled
by tho memory of this mighty patriot, phil
osopher nnd democrat, whoso brain com
prehended the height and depth nnd
breadth of government and whoso heart
embraced tho human race,

that ho supported the gold wing of his party

which has returned him to power, because

gram.) A concerted effort Is being made by
tho representatives from the northwestern

to the Treasury department that North Da
kota and South Dakota ho taken from the
Nebraska collection district, nnd that North
Dakota bo placed In tbo St. Piul district
and South Dakota In the Iowa district, thus
leaving Nebraska In a district by Itself. It
Is urged by tho Minnesota delegation that
St. Paul and Sioux City nro more easily
accessible to them than Omaha and that
under the circumstances, tho business In
terests ot tho two Dakota should be con
sidered. Scnutor Kyle Is opposed to this and urges
thnt the Dnkolas bo placed In a district by
themselves. Senator Hansbrough, It Is un
derstood, as well ns tho representatives
from North Dakota, Is opposed to this di
vision, especially to being pUcod In tho Min
nesota district. In order to brace up tho
proposition to enlarge tho Minnesota dis
trict Represcntntlvn Stevens ban called the
attention of the Treasury department to
the fact that n reduction of war taxes will
reduce tho collections and diminish the
number of deputy collectors, nnd that there
fore n rearrangement of the) district should
bo mado Immediately after Iho war revenue
reduction bill becomes a law.
It Is snld that a conferenco will soon be
held by tho delegations from Minnesota, tho
Dakotas, Nebraska ond Iowa with u view
to adjusting differences.

Tho republican senatorial caucus, pursuant

between 'Thompson nnd Currle. fanned on

qtiued fifty to nominate under tho rnll with

ThompNoulte I'lnnir Hole.
Apprchcnslvo of tho expected onslaught
from the. nntl-Tliomsonltes, tho Thompson
munngers formulated a set of rules In tho
nfternoon which they expected to present
to tho caucus ns additional to tho existing
stipulations ns a bnr to tho anticipated at

out, forbndo nny member from leaving tho

As to tbo method of voting It was pro

tho second for long term.

At tho conclusion of their speeches thn
anti-Thompson men presented tho follow
ing ultimatum, rcud from carefully pre
pared typewritten manuscript nnd Mih
scribed with eight signatures:
"This caucus has assambed undor a call
which provides thnt "Only republicans oi
unquestioned loynlty arc eligible to nomi
nation for senator.'
"U. B. Thompson Is not n republican ol
unquestioned loynlty to tho principles ol
tho republican party. Ho wan u candidate,
for United States senator two years ago
and went Into a republican cnucus pledg
ing his word nnd honor that ho would nbldo
hy tho results of that caucus. Hon. M, L.
Hnyward wns elected by ,tho caucus for
United States senntor. D, R, Thompson
bolted tho caucus and attempted to defeat
Mr. Ilayward, tho caucus nominee, and
elect himself United States senator by a
deal with tho fusion members of the legis
lature, and nought to obtain tho votes of
tho fusion mombers by agreeing with tlmni
that If elected ho would surronder cortnln
principles of thu republican party, and
ugrocd among other things that ho woulU
keep out ot republican caucuses, Such ii
man can In no senso of thu term bo said
to bo 'u republican ot unquestioned loyalty.'
This wiih audi a betrayal of tho pnrty nud
Its principles and violation of his cnucus
agreement as to put Mr. Thompson beyond
