'Minnesota will send a delegation to the national republican convention Instruoted to vota for the nomination of Theodora Rooeevelt for the presidency and he will be tha unanimous cholct of that conrett tion and elected by an jverwhulmlna" mi Jorlty," aald Governor Sanuel R. Vah Bant at. Minnesota, who arrived Friday morning Tom St. Paul to make an address at the ...nnual banquet of tha MeKlnley club latt iht. The governor haa Juet returned from the east and haa had an opportunity of viewing- the political situation In many other states beeldea hie . own. He regard the president's nomination aa practically a foregone condition and takes no stock In tha reputed ability of the allied trusts to overthrow the will of tha people In pre venting the return to tha White House of Iealdent BooseveU. - He aald: "I would rather not go Into the details of a political discussion at this time, but one thing I will say, and that Is that the re publican In high station who opposes tha nomination of the president may Just as well retire from public life. The republican party has faith In Theodore Roosevelt; It believes in his Integrity, ability and power Of suerf us and It will Insist that he be the standard-bearer for another election. The people of this country have learned that In the prealdent they have a common friend and they, the' majority of them, want him to remain where he Is for another four yesrs. I can see no hopes for those who are misled Into entertaining views of de f eating Roosevelt " Oaod Chances for Both Rivers. As la pretty generally known. Governor Van Bant Is an old steamboat man, having spent his lifetime almost on the Mississippi river, where he still own and ol rales mny large steamers. Though serving his second term aa ohlef executive of the great North Star state, ho Is still the same genial "Captain" Van Sant to his old comrades from one end of the old river to tha other. Ills recent trip to Washington waa largely for the purpose of promoting legislation cal culated to Improve river channels, banks and navigation on both the Mlselsslppl and Missouri and he cornea back much encour aged over the prospects. "While I apprehend no definite legists tlon of this kind at this session of con areas," said tha fcovernqr, "the prospects for early action of advantageous effects are splendid. The Panama canal matter haa taken up too much time at this session, to expect much along the river Improvement line, but we have no complaint to offer tie cause of this, for the two schemes go hand in hand. The wine statesman Is he who wants to sea comp'.eted this Panama canal, and with It,, as an adjunct movement, first class navigation facilities entabllKhed along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Tha completion of the Panama canal will be the biggest thing for the revival of river navl . gallon that could be Imagined and tha re vival of river navigation will benefit com merce to an Immeasurable degree. It will . opea up Industrlea In the Mississippi and Missouri valleys a can now scarcely be appreciated." Governor . Van Bant was Informed that press dispatches had been received aaytng tha supreme 'court .At : Minnesota had t quashed the indictments against former Mayor Ames of Minneapolis, who had been convicted and sentenced to sis years In the Dtnltentlary for acceDtlng bribes, and mani fested great Interest, though he refrained from committing himself, ' Vaa Bant aa the Merger. The Minnesota statesman who haa made himself nationally famous by his fearless and aggressive fight -to" prevent tha con summation of tha purpose of tha Hill Morgan i Northern Securities company, smiled when asked what about the "merger," but preferred not to be quoted l In the firm belief that "It la a dead one." It will be recalled that Governor Van Sant Incurred the lasting hatred and political enmity of James J. Hill, who la reputed as somewhat of a power In Minnesota politics, by instituting - his fight on the attempted amalgamation of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern. How fatal this opposition has been to the governor may be Inferred from the returns of tha last gubernatorial election In Minnesota, which showed a ' plurality for Van Sant of M.000, whereas ha was elected tha first time by only t,ttt. Oovernor Van Sant waa accompanied to Omaha by his sun. Grant Van Sant nf Winona, who haa been at tha head of his Tamers Dusinesa since tne latter s election tha first time. He and the governor will remain in Omaha over Saturday and visit . tha governor's brother, Adam C. Van Bant, president of tha Van Bant Commercial col lege, and family. Tha governor waa met at tha train at 11:10 a, m. by Elmer B. Bry- son. X. Rosewater' and Dr. H. A. Foster and' escorted to tne Millard hotel, and thence to tha Omaha club, where he took lunch. He arrived over tha Omaha road.. WCiUI II CLUB AID CHARITY Tha second definite announcement of plana for the St. Louis biennial haa been made. The data of the meeting having been announced last week. The cqnrentlon will open May 17, continuing through May C The program committee promises to make every session weH worth attending, and In addition to thla the women will bo given an opportunity to attend all of the programs, for there ts to bo but one at a time. .It Is gratifying Indeed that the warn ing plan that necessitated delegates and visitor missing half the good things at Sime' previous conventions is to be abol ished and the women will be able to get the benefit of what Is provided them. May 19 haa been set aside for the unvel'lng of the bronse tablet presented by the General Federation In commemoration of the Lou isiana purchase. Several amendments to the constitution have beeh formulated and will be appended to the call of tha biennial. Mrs. Dore X.yon has happily Introduced a bit 'of sentiment into the New Tork state fuleratlon trade school controversy that promises to afford one note of harmony in that long and conscientious contest. Mrs. Lyon haa suggested that the school be named for Jennie Juno Croly, "the mother of women's clubs," and her suggestion so far la the on thing upon which the women all seem able to agree. The trade school waa sugreeted by Mrs. Croly at a state con vention and her plan enthusiastically dopted, she being appointed chairman of th committees. Her Ion 3 lllneea that pre ceded her death prevented her taking any active part in the work and gradually her splendid plan for raising domestic service to the dignity of a trade became a bone of contention that varloua factions have con tended over for six years. At the last state convention the faction led by Mrs. Dor Lyon, chairman of the committee, won Ita point and the school will bo established at Amsterdam, N. Y. It la announced that the empress of Ger many. Princess Henry ana oiner women of the royal household have promised to attend the opening session and other meet lngs of the quinquennial of th Interna tional Council of Women to be held in Her tin nst summer.

Gault. and these .things will be on ex hibition at Monday's open meeting of th club. Owing to the enforced absence of Mrs. J. W. Taylor of the Woman's Club of th Railway Mall Service, Mrs, F. H. Col ad dressed the department of political and so cial science at Thursday afternoon'a meet ing on "Civil Service Reform." Much at ten tlon Is being given this subject by women's, clubs In all tha states and the auxiliary to the Railway Mall Service has given it special attention, having made It their chief subject of study. Wednesday's meeting of tha Women's Christian Temperance union waa devoted to a parliamentary practice drill. It was a program meeting, the business seislon having been shortened for the occasion, and only routine affairs attended .to. Helen Wlnalow has just issued tha sixth rolumo of her dub director It Includes 175 pages and Is one of the most valuable reference books of Its kind.

He reasons from the depth of his experience that the destiny of the people la not endangered by con ditions, and that If we will but wait we will see the' light. His picture of conditions at the time of the civil war and the fears then expressed is an excellent back ground against which to project his present hopeful conclusions.

"This Is one of th moat complicated rate situations which ever has confronted the railroads In this part of the country," said H. A. Perkins, commercial agent fit the Rock I-land, in speaking- of the grain rate situation. "The rates sre now being cut almost tiourly and every change from MiS' souri river points necessitates a lining up of the rates from lnterlrtr points. It Is al most Impossible to keep track of the situa tion." The last message received by the Rock Island yesterday quoting changes reads: Effective February 1. reductions of grain, all kinds, to the gulf from Missouri river points, will be 1 cents per luo: from In- erior points in Kansas ana isenreana, 0 cents. No reduction from points south of the Kansas line. Rates ' from Missouri river must he net; no balances will be pro tected. (Signed) H. H. EMBRT. The Missouri Pacific local office has re ceived practically the same quotations. A local railroad man sold: "These new rates from Interior points In Nebraska and Kansas wlll hnve the effect of taking the grain south. The Missouri Paclflo has Issued new quotations to the St. Louis market of I cents less from In terior points In Nebraska than the old rates, as well as to the gulf ports. It looks to me as though there is a combina tion of all competing roads to fore the Northwestern back in line on Its through rates from Nebraska points to the east'! May Shot Oat Northwestern. The effect of the new low rates to ths south will" be to take the grain away from tha Northwestern territory and haul It directly south, thus cutting that line out of the business altogether. The1 rates also will have the effect of taking the grain away from Omaha temporarily for the rea son that the rates south will b less than the sum of the rates Into Omaha and tha, proportional out to the gulf ports and St Louis. But this will be partially over come by drawlryr shipments from North western points in northern Nebraska to Omaha, which would under the old through rates go east via Missouri Valley. It will be cheaper to bring the grain from Mis souri Valley to Omaha and aecure the low proportional out than lt would be to send It on under the through rate." The rates. In effect to the east now on corn for export are cents from Omaha to th Mississippi river and 18 centa beyond, "Making a total of 25 cents for the through rate, while th rate to the gulf on the same cereal la i cents, making a differential In favor of th gulf porta of cents. The old differential before tha rates were disturbed was T cents and even that did not serve to draw the export grain to the east as against Qalvoaton and New Orleans. The Mlsscurl Pacific has a large number of empty cars going south to be used in shipping lumber north, and It Is believed this cuts soms flgur in the low quotations made by that line. , It la said these cars can be hauled . south at very little addi tional expense when-ithey are loaded with grain than when they are empty. At End of Their Striae. There Is one element which has not yet entered Into the ratc,,cluation and that Is the lines east of 'Chicago. It Is said that at present the. roqjdrunning from tha Mis souri river to Cblcago-ar about to the end of their string U th.-jnter of cutting and that they are now bringing all the pressure possible to bear oft their, eastern connec tions to get them to make a cut on export business to help out In getting the ship ments to go east How much success th western lines will have In Inducing a cut east Is not known, but it Is believed the eastern lines will be Induced to start a rat war whloh might include other commodl ties before It la over, on account of the fact that they are hauling about all the trafflo they can handle at the- present tjme, and ths loss of th western grain business to thenT-for a period will not be a blow which will hurt them materially. But there Is an other feature which enters Into the ergu ment In favor of the eastern lines msklng a cut, and that is that up to th present the grain has not been allowed to move to the gulf ports very freely, and If the ship. per get Into the habit of sending th product that way It may result In th formation of a habit which will be hard to break In the future when the business Is needed by eaatern lines to assist In making freight receipts. For thla reason It Is con sidered barely possible that eastern connec tions will make some concessions to hold the business and prevent its going south. All Intermediate Folate. Tha new tariff of the Rock Island quoting tales of I and 8 cents to the northern mar kets from this city also Includes all Inter mediate points. Th (Jreat Western tariff does' not do thla, so that th tariff of th latter road la put out of business light at th start. For Instance th Rock Island rat to Davenport for local shipments is 8 cents on corn, the same as th Minneapolis rate, and th Great Western rate, -which should, be th sitae to the MUstgslppi river, Is 10 cents. Th Roclo Island baa at all times during th fight protected Omaha In its through rates. In a'.l the tariffs Issued by that Una the through rates from Nebraska points have been the same aa th local rat Into Omaha and th proportional rat out added. This has given shippers via that Una an op portunity to unload their grain In transit In this city, thus helping to build up grain market here. About 1.000 cars of grain have moved dur ing the last two weeks under th rates iu effect up ts the tint of th recent Great Western cut With the new rate In effect which are so much lower th shippers of this, grain will certainly suffer. 0 Health at Small Cost.
