ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS; NEWS.
PAPERS. ~

The St. Paul Pioneer 1ees has
completed its first year, and il we'll
satisfied with the results Of the con.
solidation. Its financial success Is
merited, for as newspaper it is a
credit to the entire State. In edito...
ial ability, in quantity and variety
and freshness of news published each
day, in makeup and in typogu.phic.
al neatness it has no rival j. in the
West this side Of Chicago. 1t is
much superior to the Milwaukee pa.
pers. We are glad to learn that it is
appreciated as it deserves to be.
It il announced that the Demo-
Gratis are to have an organ at St.
Paul. They have purchased the A.
sociated press franchise Of the old
Pioneer for $4,000 and will soon
start morning daily, Of which it is
rumored Mr.. H. P. Hall. tho wide
awake and successful publisher Of
the Evening Dispatch, will be the man.
ager, and perhaps Louis E. Fisher
editor. A strong team.
The Minneapolis Evening Mail has
been purchased by Mr.. Thomas S
King, who for several years has been
known as the manager of the Mime
apolis department Of the St. Paul
Roneer-Press. If Tom manages a
whole paper rs we'll as he does two or
three columns of one nobody will
ever complain that the subscription
price of the Mail is too high.
And now comes the Rionee Pres
with the announcement of q further
consolidation-that of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune with the PIP, this last
consolidation to be known as the
Dual City Pioneer Hress a. ID Tribune
(whew what a name), which will ap-
pear in few days as an eight.page
paper Of the size of the great Chica-
60 dailies. The late proprietors Of
the Tribune have an interest in the
new paper and will manage the
Minneapolis branch. And, still fur
Their, the consolidated concern has
purchased the Minneapolis Evening
Mail, which will be enlarged and
improved, and its publication at
Minneapolis continued under the
management Of the late publishers Of
the Tribune. What next2 Fred
Driscoll is regular newspaper Bis
marck, Won Moltke and Napoleon
Bonaparte rolled into one, and there
is nothing beyond the longings of his
ambition in this line. In another
year he will probably be trying to
get control of the New York Herald,
the St. Cloud JOURNAL, the Chicago
Tribune, and the two or three other
great papers in the country to CONSOLE
date with his Pioneer Press.

ROYALTY AMONG US.

Dom Pedro, Emperor Of Brazil,
reached New York Saturday. He was
met outside the harbor by Secretaries
Fish, Taft and Robson, who gave
him formal welcome, but his Ex-
cellen:y was rather inclined to snub
these dignitaries and firmly declined
to leave luis own ship and go to the
city on the sloop-ofwar on which the
Cabinet officers with Maori General
Hancock and Vice-Admiral Rowan
had come for him.. The Emperor
seemed to prefer the two New York
newspaper correspondents who wele
serenely planted on either side Of
him when the official party Chamber
ed over the sides of the royal ship.
He positively declined all receptions
and fuss, and his great desire is to see
everything that is to be seen. In the
evening he went to B0oths theatre 10
see the play Of Henry "" He put
ina pretty full day Sabbath, attend
ing services at the Roman Catholic
Cathedral and at Moody and Sankey's
meeting, making two visits to Central
Park, inspecting a police station, {"
FIRE engine house and the Newsboys'
Home, besides sitting with the EN-
press twenty times for a photograph.
He left New York Monday evening
for San Francisco and hopes to be
able to visit every State in the Union
between this time and the 18th of
July, when he will sail for England

MIR. sTEwART'S WILL, BUSINESS AND
ESTATE. -

AZ
on the first page Of this. number
We give some interesting facts con-
cerning the life and business charao-
teristics Of the late A. T. Stewart,
and also an abstract ofhis will. Much
surprise is expressed that this instru-
ment should have been go wanting in
details and express provisions. 1t
was Mr.. Stewards boast that his
mercantile transactions were regulate
ed by the most exact system, and not
man in his establishments was al.
lowed to exercise his own discretion /;
but be left fifty millions At last to be
disposed of according to mere "un-
derstanding" of what his wishes
would be if he had the task to per.
form himself: Nothing in biz, career
is half 20 strange as this will. It
may be said to contradict his whole
life.
Mr.. Libbey, the surviving member,
says that Mr.. Stewards death has
made = vacancy in the firm which
it will be necessary to fill at an early
day. Negotiations are in progress
for that purpose. For himself he
would not feel warranted in continu-
ing the business unless new arrange
ments were made and Mr.. Stewards
vacant place filed. But matters are
making favorable progress. and the
new firm will carry on the business:
Judge Hilton has since become the
new member, he and Mr.. Libbey con-
shutting the firm, which will retain
the old name.
1t appears that, in addition to the
power-ot.attorney given Judge Hill.
ton to manage. her estate, Mrs. Stew
art has filed in the Registers Office {.
transfer and assignment Of all her
late husbands share in the business
of "A. T. Stewart & Co., as well as
all his property, real and personal,
except real estate in the City Of New
York. to Judge Hilton for the sum
81, 100000. Both instruments are
dated April II, 1876.
The New York papers are CRITICS
ing this transfer quite severely, and
call on Judge Hilton to state to the
public what he intends doing in re-
gard to the great charities which en-
gagged so much Of Nh. Stewards atten.
ton and means, and in which he IL
understood to have been 20 deeply in
terested.
