HIS TITLE is CLEAR.
An Acknowledged Celestial Who Is
Preparing to Return to China.

In the want columns of the morning
papers for week past has appeared the
following:
HONG WAN. 351 WABASHA ST
II having sold his laundry, and going bacl
to China, will pay all his debts at his former
place OF business Saturday, May 10.
1t will be seen from the above that
st. Paul is about to lose one its noted
citizens. Hong Wah during his seven
years residence in the city has formed
a large and lasting acquaintance with
the townsmen, and his departure will
be regretted by many. He will be
missed by none more the genial mayors
secretary. who has been his legal and
confidential adviser during all these
years. Hong Wah laid his first claim to
distinction when he braved a-prejudied
public opinion and took for his
wife a charming German girl
who had become fascinated with
his heatheniSh graces. The couple
have since separated without the for
maiity of legal proceedings, and Hong
Wah is now going back to the CELESTIAL
Kingdom to renew familiarity with his
wife and boy, whom he left behind
when he emigrated to America.
Hong Wah was 10 all intents and pur-
poses an American citizen, although
never vested with citizens rights. He
contracted the American habit of pay
ing his debts, and he will leave with an
unblemished record in Bradstreet's. He
is liberal MongOlian, and had polit-
zeal head under his pig-tail 1t has been
his habit every Christmas to make
numerous and costly presents to the
city and county officials. Last Christ
mas he distributed among the officehold-
ers not less than fifty fine silk handker-
chiefs woven in his native land, and
imported by himself. On the advice of
Horace Dunno each handkerchief was
accompanied by box of choice cigars.
Mayor Smith, Chief Clark, Judge Cory,
Judge Egan and jim Ahern were
among the recipients of these gifts.
Among his countrymen in this city
Hong Wah was held in great respect.
He was the king bee of the nightly
gathering at Sam Kings place on Sixth
street. and at bung-loo and fan-tan he
was almost invariably winner. Many
a morning sun has seen Hong Wah de-
part from that joint jingling in his
pockets the receipts Of half the Chinese
laundrieS in the city for months pre-
ceding. Among the Christianized
Chinese who attend the meetings at the
Y. NJ. {. A. hall every Sunday after
noon, he was accounted had man."
Hong Wah has sold his laundry at ISL
Wabasha street to his cousin, a recent
arrival by way of Victoria, B. G. 1t is
within the range of possibilities that
Hong Wah will return to st. Paul
next summer, but that point he has not
vet fully decided.

FOR A HALF HOLIDAY.
A Move to Secure Saturday After
moons for Clerks in Dry Goods

n move TO secure saturday Alter
moons for Clerks in Dry Goods
Houses.
A move which was started by the
girls themselves in favor of half holt
day on Saturdays for the female en-
ployes of retail dry goods houses is be-
ing worked up by number of promi-
nent st. Paul ladies, who have became
interested in the matter. If the idea is
carried to success it will neceSSitate the
closing of dry goods establishments on
Saturday afternoon during July and
August, which are the months when
the half holiday is wanted. Several
copies Of petition asking the retail
dry goods dealers to do this have been
industriOusly circulated among the la
dies who are naturally supposed to be
the heaviest customers of the firms
interested, and they have signed
these petitions very generally. The
list is a long one and the ladies who are
doing the work say they propose to
make general and thorough canvass
OF the city. When enough names have
been secured to, in their Judgment,
make case strong enough, they will
present the petition, names and all, to
the proprietorS. ard make polite re-
quest that its terms be complied with.
The preamble to the petition says
that in other cities the scheme has been
found to work satisfactorily, not only to
employees, but to proprietors. The idea
is also expressed that as during the two
months named little shopping is done
on Saturday afternoon anyway, the
closing up would result in no noticeable
lose of trade. The petition, with the
formidable array of names attached,
will probably be laid before the pro-
prietorS this week.

Some Good Advice to-. the Com
panies From the Railroad Com
mission.
The board of railroad and ware house
commissioners yesterday sent letter to
General Manager Cakes, of the North
ern Pacific road, in reply to the one
published as a general order reducing
rates to 3 cents per mile. The commits
sionerS apply the reasons given for re-
ducing rates to other states and terri
tories. Their letter says:
''AS the promised reduction in fares
is to be made in no apprehension on
your part that this commission has the
power to compel reduction on the
main lines of your road in Minnesota
but for the sole reason that its paSSen-
ger business has so Increased, 1t is pre-
Sumed you will not limit the reduction
TO the boundaries of this state, the limit
of the jurisdiction of this commission,
but as the increased travel is largely
through travel you will delight the
hearts of the people of Dakota and of
all the other states and territories
through which your line extends with
the glad tidingS of more liberal and Tea-
sonable fares.
The increase in the freight business
of the Northern Pacific company is
even more marked than the increase in
passenger receipts. The commission
suggests for your consideration cor
responding reduction in freight
charges"
The commissioners note section 10 of
the company'S charter. as quoted in
General Manager Cakes letter, and say
that while they do not claim that the
state Legislature has power to repeal or
amend an act of congress, they do claim
that the supreme court of the United
States has decided that all railroad rates
must be reasonable. In closing their
letter the commissioners say:
Farther in reply to your statement
that you do not wish to be understood
statutes of the state of Minnesota COLI
fer upon the railroad and warehouse
commission an administrative power
unlimited except by official corruption,
tie commission states for your informa-
ton that the supreme court of this state
has passed upon the question as to what
are the powers of the commission under
the statutes of the state of Minnesota,
and we are of opinion that the con-
struction given by the supreme court
upon this subject will stand as law
whether you assent to it or not Rail-
road companies and railroad managers
will do well to take heed that they obey
the laws. They are prompt to appeal
to the laws for protection. They should
be equally prompt in obedience to the
law as applied to them by the consti-
tuted authorities of the state"

A MISTAKE IN THE LAW.

Commissioner Shandrew's Criti-
cism on the Insurance Enact
mcntS.
The seventeenth annual report of the
insurance commissioner of Minnesota
was issued yesterday. 1t deals with fire
and casualty insurance, and some inter
eSting figures are submitted. Fourteen
companies have been admitted during
the year to do business in the state The
fires in 1887 were unusually heavy and
numerous, so that there was consider
bic loss to the companies in the state
for 1887, and yet, as the report says, ''for
the privilege of paying out Sl50.000 more
than they received, the state calls upon
these companies to pay tax of over
S60,0G0."
Commissioner Shandrew regards this
state of things as a very serious mistake
in the law, regarding the tax On prem
iums. In his report the commissioner
says on this point:
1.-THE law requires tax of 2 per cent
on gross premiums, besides certain fees,
and provides further, that when any
other state imposes greater taxes or fees
upon companies of this state doing bust
ness in such other state. the same taxes
and fees shall be imposed upon COM
panies of such other state doing bust
ness in Minnesota.
while this reciprocal feature is justi-
fables tax of 2 per cent,or any per cent
upon gross premiums, is no less than a
gross I'M justice, and burden that event
ually falls upon the insurer. The state
should not in justice require from the
companies more than the expense of the
insurance department and the Supervi-
sion of the insurance business calls for.
If tax is imposed at all, it should be
based upon net premium receipts,
whether fire or life. In 1887. in this
state, the fire companies received 50, 1914
G94 .27, and their losses were s., 295, 172. Il,
leaving SS66, S30.0S, upon which there
would be less wrong in imposing the
tax. The state would even then re-
ceive much larger sum than it pays
for sustaining the insurance depart
ment."
The commissioner further says that
some radical changes are needed in our
insurance laws. The main body of the
law as it now stands was enacted in
1872. when there were about fifty COM
panies doing business in the state. But
conditions have changed very materi-
ally since that time, and now that there
are 233 companies doing business here,
the law of sixteen years ago is made
quate to the demands and requirements
of the business.

Democratic Delegates to the ST.

Referring to what purported to be an
interview with Mayor Ames, of Mime

yesterday, in which Mayor Ames was
made to say that the delegates to the st.
Louis convention would need to meet
not only to elect a chairman, but to az
range for securing accommodations
for the delegation while in st.
Louis, Secretary Miller, of the
Democratic state central committee,
said last evening: ''The delegation will
have nothing to do with selecting head
quarters in st. Louis. That matter was
settled more than a month ago. The
state central committee sent Chairman
Doran to st. Louis for this purpose, and
on his arrival there he found that the
local committee of arrangements had
assigned the Minnesota delegation. with
others from the Northwest, to the
Planters hotel. The transportation also
has been provided for, and the delega-
ton will leave st. Paul June 8, at 10 a.
