EiVIcKsBUIG, Miss, Nov. 22.-The condition of
affairs of the Mississippi Valley bank, which
failed yesterday, are hourly 60 ting worse. Mr..
Klein says the liabilities will probably reach
$8,000,000 The commission house of Johll-F.

hands of an assignee. The property of
Mr.. Klein's father will also be disposed of
the same way. The liabilities are placed
at $500,000; assets about the same, but
will be slow TO realize upon. The amount
due preferred creditors is $4,000. A. K.

-ARTHUR'S GRIP.

Chester A. Arthur is practically sure of
the Republican nomination. He requires
402 votes to gain the prize. Naturally
BOG votes will come to him from the solid
SOUTH" That section can give him no
electoral votes, but it counts bravely in a
convention. The federal Office holders
will see that the 1906" are ''leyal" to the
lar as master. In addition to the '306"---
which, by the way, is the number of the
famed stalwart guard-Arthur must have
ninety-six votes. If he makes combina-
ton with Foster he can count on nearly
the whole of Ohio's forty-six; suppose he
combines with Bob Lincoln, if Jack Logan
Is willing he can have Illinois's forty-two.
The Attorney General ought to help him
in Pennsylvania; the new Postmaster Gen
eral can probably give him big slice Of
Indiana; the Secretary of the Navy ought
to count for something, although he is
from small state with only
eight votes; the frisky little
Mr.. Hatton may be big enough man in
Iowa, to switch around the 26 Hawkeyes
into the Arthur colum. The Secretary of
the Interior may be able to contribute his
mite, and Arthur himself ought to have
some influence in New York. So, looking
the ground over, it appears that Arthur is
in great luck so far as getting the nomi-
nation goes. How there can be any in
fuential opposition to to him is not ap-
parent. From what source it may come
does not appear. Great is Arthur and the
Republican party is his chattel.

ADJUSTMENTS.
~ CAornL Nnc,er,,


There was large audience gathered at the
Grand Opera house last night to witness the
opening concert of the second season Of the st.
Paul Choral society. The attendance showed
that the society is both strong and popular and
has the cordial support and good wishes Of our
citizens.
The ordeal through which an ametsur had to
pass is far more severe than that OF the r,rofes-
sionsl; the criticisms of the audience sre keener.
extending If It be lady even to the most minute
portion of her dress, and the amateur is con
scious of t5is, and this same consciousness. if
may naturally be inferred, will produce some
little trepidatiOn and nervousness; hence it is
that she seldom sings as well On the stage as in
her own dra wing room.
The performance last evening commenced
with the overture to Nicolas ''Merry Echoes of
Windsor" and was very creditable perform
ence, the several instruments generally respond
ing promptly to the demands OF the able cor
ductor. Mrs. Phoebe Shaffer GRAY made her
first appearance before ST. Paul audience IN
the Cavatina ''Robert Toique Jaime (AIeyer-
beer) and was recalled-not perhaps on account
of her finished vocaiizstion 50 much as from q
desire OF the public to hear her In simpesSallad.
AID the desire was gratifed.
The encante and finale of BeeihoTen's ninth
sonata was the Eext number upon the pro
gramme for Miss Ada Schwarszweld (piano) and
Mr.. C. a. Garrett (violinl both Of
whom played carefully and credi-
tably. The presto movement was especially
acceptable. In the variations it was noticed
that the EiOlinist at times, slightly lost the
rhythm.
The first concerted number was Gounod's

showed SO plainly the mind Of the conductor.

ed fastening from the spot, was found 80
calibre pistol not wholly loaded. Despite
this strong point of circumstantial ev1-
dence the coroner's jury did not attempt
to associate Porter with the crime, and he
was released, to be arrested again couple
OF days later by the action of the district
attorney. The sequel of the affair-for a
murder trial in New York, when the par
ties are ruffians of high standing in their
calling, may be thus lightly designated
was the acquittal of Porter as above stated.
The whole matter reveals most deplor-
able degree of corruption, as well as ipef-
ficiency, on the part of the excise and
police authorities of New York. 1t is a
little singular, likewise, that this same
tragedy gave rise at the outset to spirit
ed controversy among the metropolitan
newspapers, on point of journalistic
ethics, the Importance of which will be
generally conceded. though its satisfac-
tory solution is likely to be long deferred.
The peculiar character of the crime, thu
mystery attaching to the almost stimuli
taneous double death, and the notoriety of
the parties concerned, naturally attracted
the interest of the enterprising New York
press, and whole columns were devoted to
descriptions of every minute circumstance
connected with the affair. Whereupon one
or two journals, higher in tone, perhaps.
or possibly, less enterprising, than their
contemporaries, raised loud lament at
the moral perversity which would induce
such panderirg to the public's morbid
taste for the horrible. Tire discussion was
vigorously carried on, and when Porter,
after being released by the coroner, was
arrested the second time on account OF the
revelation by the press of the pistol ballet
circumstances, the papers which had pub
lished the details exulted over the manifest
vindication of their course. They un-
doubtedly were correct in assuming that
their course had been in the interest of
justice, but the issue showed that they
were over confident in entertaining the
hope that justice would,on that account, be
administered.
1t was one of those cases, by no means of
infrequent occurrence, in which the end of
justice is reached long before the ends of
Justice have been attained.

TRANSPORTATION NOTES
More Trouble IN. st. Paul.

The war of the scalpers still continues.
Under the agreement between the locel
agents of the different roads here in st.
Paul, that has been many times referred
to in these columns, the st. Paul & Mil
waukee road has appeared as the special
champion to compel an observance of the
terms of it. The complaints made against
the infraction of these terms have all, or
nearly all, been made against the Chicago,
st. Paul & Omaha road, each one of which
have been sustained. This road for a
while redeemed the tickets, but they
came in pretty fast, SO that
at last the road declined to redeem them.
1t is now turning its attention to viola
tions of the agreement by the Chicago,
Milwaukee 4 st. Paul road. Last week
the ticket agent of that road was called
npon to answer charge of violating the
agreement. He was triumphantly acquit-
ted. Yesterday another case was before
the association. This time the charge
was brought against q man named Cham
berlain, of Minneapolis, who it was claim
ed had sold ticket with an illegal limita-
ton to il. Those of the association who
were present were E. B. Clark, of the Chi
hicago, st. Paul & Omaha road, w. Il.
Dixon, of the Milwaukee, Mr.. Whitaker,
of the Albert Lea, and Mr.. Pond,
of the Northern Pacific. After the testi
mony had been put in, Mr.. Dixon stated
that there was no occasion for any re-
marks. It was one of those cases that
showed on its face that the transaction was
one of those that proved itself. The in
herent evidence to he found on the face of
the ticket itself showed that if anything
was wrong about it, the wrong consisted
simply of clerical error. There was no
monkey work. about it. Mr.. Whitaker,
of the Albert Lea route, said he was satis-
fed that there was no Intentional
wrong doing and consequently ready to
vote then on the matter, but as Mr.. Boyd
was not present he would prefer to have
postponement. The case was therefore
postponed till next Monday afternoon.
There is no doubt that scalping is con-
cut right straight along, day after day by
somebody. The railroads declare they are
not doing the work or conniving at it, yet
it goes on right in the face of the agree
ment. The scalpers certainly are selling
tickets at a less rate than
that agreed upon by the
railroads. Now this interesting question
arises: How can the scalPers buy the
tickets of the railroads at So each and sell
them at $3.50 each, thus losing $1.50 on
each ticket? This kind of business might
do in New York, where tie scalper could
do large business. There it might be q
money making pursuit, bat in city
the size of st. Paul it does not look as
though he could do business enough to
support very large family on loss of
81. so on every ticket sold.

YILLARD,S YICTORY.

Outside the palpable stock jobbing feat
ures of the subject, the signal triumph of
the Willard element in the recent vote on
the question of the new Northern Pacific
loan was not merely an additional but an
inevitable step in the successful progress
of the enterprise. 1t was not a personal
or fGctional victory. 1t was based upon
such considerations of policy that, looking
calmly over the subject now that the con-
test is ended, it seems hardly conceivable
that an opposite result could have been
arrived at. The stockholders majority
W mich declared itself SO emphatically was
composed of the individuals who had the
most direct interest in the skillful peril
nacity which Mr.. Willard displayed in
pushing the road forward to completion
in tire to forestall this winters congress
sionalattack upon the companys land grant
The obstacles which had 10 be overcome to
secure that end were of great magnitude
but they were conquered with wonderful
skill and CELEBRITY.
The completion of the road was of
course the fruition of the stockholders
eager desire, and as we have said, the in
dorsement of the policy which had han
died their interests so efficiently was to be
expected as matter of course. Had
there existed less satisfaction on their part
Wall streets opportunity would
have been greatly enhanced. 1t is safe
to assume that congressional Interference
with the Northern Pacific is pretty effect
ually estopped by the vigorous policy of
Mr.. Willard, and thus virtually all danger
Gus antagonism to the road ceases. The
supreme court of the United States still
has, it is true, to determine some private
claims which attempt to impeach the
validity of the land grant. But that trib-
unal will be limited on that point by the
terms of the company's charter, which dis
unctly preclude any liability to forfeiture
not brought into operation by the afirma-
tive action of congress itself. The "other
means" which congress by the terms of
the charter might have adopted for secur-
ing the competition of the road are now
rendered impractioable since Mr.. Wizards
measures have accomplished the purpose,
and questions, which in the event of nom
completion might have been raised with
some show of pertinency are now futile
and exploded. That was one OF the main
purposes for which Mr.. Willard has been
striving during the past two years, and We
cannot but rejoice that his policy has been
so Enthusiastically indicated by the intelli
gent action of the parties most directly
interested.

ANOTHER terrible tragedy is added this morn
ing to the fearful list which has of late been
accommodating with appalling rapidity in the
United States. In its attributes of cool de-
Liberation it was as fiendish as the Long Island
massacre of last Saturday, while it numbered
twice as many victims as the latter. Four in
mates of farm house near jackson, Michigan,
were found yesterday murdered in their be is,
all having been shot through the head after
first being chloroformed. The fearful
deed was committed as prelude
to robbery, as large sum of money is believed
to have been on the premises. For utter heart

any crime of even this most prolific season.

The telegraph on Wednesday brought
the information that man named Porter,
who had been on trial in New York, on a
charge of murder, had been acq aitted. The
announcement, thus conspicuously made.
related to crime of grsater than usual
import, even in the criminal annals of
that vice-stained metropolis. About the
middle of October TWO notorious thieves
and ex-convicts were murdered in Sixth
