parliamentary committee on the royal
grant was called up in the commons this
afternoon. Smith, government leader de-
clined to answer a question as to the
amount of the queens savings and moved
the adoption of the committees report.
| The government could not believe, he said,
that any important section of people be-
grudged royalty the moderate provision
necessary to maintain its dignity. If they
would examine the system of other civil
lied countries they would find the English
system the most economical.
| LabOurche moved the adoption of his

royal family were already ample, and II
TO be provided through retrenchments in
the royal household and not by fresh de
mands upon the taxpayers. He ridiculed
Smiths assertion OF economy, calling at
tention to the fact that while the president

Gladstone's position. Labourche pro-

alties- If the useless lord chamberlain,
lord steward. master of the horse, master
of the buckhOunds, eight lords in waiting,
eight grOOms in waiting, four esquires and
a number of others were abolished, an
ample sum would be left for the purpose
mentioned.

DUE To PARALYSIS.
Death Of One of the Originstors of the
Northern Pacific


PHILADELPHIA, July "A private dis
patch from Waterville, ". Y, announces
the death of Charlemsgne Tower, of this
city. Mr. Tower was in his slst year and
death was due TO paralysis. He leaves
four daughters and q son and an enormous
fortune. He was born in Oneida county,
New York, and graduated at Harvard in
1880. He studied law in New York, where
he praeticed. Some time after going to
Pennsylvania he became the owner of
large bodies OF coal lands and was director
in several corporations. He was actively
interested in the construction and manage
ment of the Northern Pacific railway and
was member of its board of directors for
several years The great 81 and most sue
cessful undertaking, perhaps, VI Towers
long business career was his development
of the iron resources of Minnesota. DOW
well known to the world as Nermillion
range. 1t was about fifteen years ago that
Mr.. Tower learned of the existence of iron
ore deposits near Vermilli0n Lake, a body
of water ninety mics from Duluth. The
country was then a wild forest, without
paths, and exploration was difficult. An
expert was sent out by Tower in 1875 10
make a thorough eXamir alton, and the
report was so favorable he purchased
about 10000 acres of mineral lands near
the lake. Years were required 10 get
things into shape, and IL was not until 1888
that Mr.. Tower had things In readiness for
the construction of a railroad. He laid out
the line of road from the lake to point on
Lake Superior thirty miles northeast of
Duluth. called Two Harbors. Here Mr.. |
Tower bought property, constructed docks |
and acquired terminal facilities The
mines were opened and a force
of men set at work digging ore. |
Meanwhile the railroad was being built. |
All through the winter of ISsS-S4 /
a force of LOCO men were laboring in the /
Minnesota woods, Telling trees, grading /
and laying tracks. The expenses were Il
enormous, but Mr.. Tower was equal to the /
demand on his resources. Through the /
spring of 1884 work IVES pressed with vigor /
and late in July the road was completed |
On July 81, 1884, the first train load of ore
passed from VermIllion Lake TO Lake /
Superior, whence il was shipped on barges Il
10 Cleveland. Before the close of the year
81, ,O65 tons of ore had been shipped from
he mines, and in 1887 the annual output
lad been increased to 40O,0 tons. |
On June 5, 1887. Tower disposed of his
Rrge interests in the Vermillion range 20 a
syndicate. On that day IN this city Mr.. |
Tower handed over to the syndicate stocks
md bonds of the Duluth & Iron Range |
railroad and title deeds TO some 20, 600 acres |
,f land, and received in return certified
.hecks on banks and financial institutions |
