NEW YORK, May 28.-A great deal of
Importance was attached to the st. Paul
statement for the month of April, issued
to-day. as it clearly indicated what the
result of the operations for the new
fiscal year ending June 30 would be.
For the month of April the gross earn
ings were sl,S19, 531, against 81, S25, 698
for the corresponding month year ago,
a decrease of $6, 1877; operating expenses
were 81 $40, 759, against 81, 4S3 ,6s4, de-
crease Of $l42, 1875, and net earnings OF
S,771, against S342, 603, an Increase OF
$135, 1867. For the four months of the cal
endar year ending April 80, the net earn
ings were 5000, $3.50, against 1896, 133
for the corresponding period in the pre-
ceding year, an Increase OF $1,054.S27.
The fiscal year heretofore was the same
as the calendar year, but was changed
by the Wisconsin legislature so that it
will end on June 80 hereafter. For the
ten months of the new fiscal year al
ready reported the net earnings were
81, 655, 413 against 81. 048, 946 i'll the twelve
months of the calendar year ending
Dec. 81, 1883. This is more than enough
to pay the fixed charges for the entire
year and the April dividend of 21s per
cent on the preferred stock. In 1888 the
interest on the funded debt amounted
7,048, $40, and the April dividend on the
preferred stock was $40. 272. making
the total requirements 1851, 24S
and leaving a balance from ten
months earnings of $74, 165. Cal
culating the income from other sources
the same as in the calendar year. s2lS.-
173, and the net earnings for the last
two months of the fiscal year as the
same as in 1883, sS79,s12. there should
be surplus over all charges, including
the April dividend from the operations
of the fiscal year. Of 81, 172, $50. After
the statement was issued, friends OF st.
Paul directors intimated strongly that a
scheme for funding the high-rate inter-
est bonds and the preferred stock into a
longtime bond, bearing 3 per cent inter
est, has been practically completed. 1t
is understood that about fifteen million
dollars maturing within the next ten
years will be funded Immediately. The
funding operations are expected to re-
duce the charges ahead of the common
stock $500. 600 Der annum.

TWISTING THE LIONS TAIL.

1t looks as il Mr.. BLAINE had made
up his mind, after long consideration,
to give the tail Of the British lion lit
tie twist, just for the sake of an expert
ment. Fortunately for Mr.. BLAINE, he
has good provocation in this instance
for an indulgence OF his twisting pro-
pensities, for the aforesaid lion is act
ing in really ugly and impertinent
manner. A long time ago, perhaps as
much as half century back, the Brit
ish lion undertook to contest with the
Russian bear for possession of the Behr-
ing sea. The latter bristled up for fight,
whereupon the former proposed an arbi-
tration, the proposition was accepted,
the question of title to these waters was
submitted to properly constituted
court of arbitration, and decision rem
dered in favor OF Russia. Subsequently
the Russian government sold and trans
ferred for valid consideration, to the
United States, all its right and title to
North American possessions, including
its exclusive rights in the Behring
sea. More than twenty years have
elapsed since this sale, and now
the British government undertakes
by force to re-establish its old claim-a
claim that can be entitled to no possible
recognition; for, independent of all
other considerations, it is outlawed by
lapse of time. With commendable
promptness Secretary BLAINE has
ordered two American war vessels to
forthwith proceed to the Behring sea
and maintain the dignity Of this gov
eminent by asserting it's absolute con-
troll over the entire possessions, both on
land and sea, obtained from the Russian
government.
Our Washington dispatches indicate
that it is the purpose Of the British gov
eminent in raising this row to force this
country into another arbitration, in
order that the old question Of title may
be readiudicated. 1t is to be hoped
that while Mr.. BLAINE has his grip on
the lions tail he will hold it fast enough
to force the British government to
abandon this ridiculous proposition.
There is nothing for us to arbitrate. If
there is any old question about title
to the waters of the Behring
sea, 1t is question between
England and Russia, and one with
which our nation has no concern. We
hold by clear title that is fortified by
the statute Of limitation, and it would
be an absurdity for us to submit to ar
bitration matter that does not pos
sess even an element of controversy.
All that Mr.. BLAINE has to do is to no
tify the British authorities to steer clear
of the Behring sea, and then, if they in
sist on sending their armed vessels up
there to catch our seal, all that Mr..
BLAINE can do is to give the lions tail
wrench that will pull it out of root.
The only diplomacy that is available in
a case of this kind is a fleet of steel
cruisers with big guns ard fighting men
aboard

sALvATIoNIsTs IN GLOVER.
The Army Marches, Feasts, Prays
and Is Happy Over Converts.

The Salvation Army yesterday cele-
brated its ninth anniversary at the st.
Paul barracks, corner Ninth and Jack
/ son streets. The proceedings opened at
10 a. m. with reception by the brass
band. followed at II o'clock by halle
lujah greeting, and at 3 p. IN. by holt
ness convention at which about fifteen
converts were made. A grand BAN
quet had been laid in the
I lower hall at the barracks,
the doors being thrown open at $50,
and about $50 people sat down to the ta-
bles. There were present from other
cities. notably Minneapolis, about 100
officers and men, and at 7:15 p. m.
parade was made of the prin-
cipal streets of the city by detach-
ment of mounted soldiery in uniform.
followed by a large number OF
female warriors with the usual para
phernalia of the organization. At 8
p. m. the large hall at the jackson
street barracks was crowded to the
doors. There were present large
number Of people of class which do
not, as practice, attend the meetings
OF the army. The address by
Maj. Whatmore, commander Of
the army for this district, was received
enthusiastically. The Salvation Army,
he said, had sprung from literally Moth
ing. He compared the great class of
people in this and other countries who
attend no church and belong to no re-
ligious body to willy fish which re-
fused every kind of bait known to the
ministerial fishermen of the age. 10
hook this evaSive wriggler the orthodox
church had used every conceivable art,
and had failed. Exceptions were taken
by many people and some OF the clergy
to the methods of the Saivationists.
If there could be shown to the COM
manders and officers of this great band
of workers in the Lords vineyard any
other method by which they could save
souls with greater or equal success
as has been obtained under the
present system, they would only
too gladly order the abandon
ment of the colors and uniform.
In conclusion. the mayor said that the
work of the army in all parts of
the world was going on. India, the
home of Buddhism and idOlatry. was
dotted over with working detachments.
The Gar of all the RusSias has granted
permission absolute to the army to in
wade his domain and convert the nihil-
istic inhabitants if they could.
1t was announced that the mass meet
ing would be held in Minneapolis to-
morrow evening at the hall near the
union depot.

DANGEROUS DISCRIMINATION.

1t has been observed for some tina in
the East, by those who operate legisla-
lures, that senates are most convenient
and reliable, even if the tariffs are
rather above the average of the more
popular branches. The parties who
possess the data for exact statements OH
the subject, for some reason, are very
modest and reticent: but there is little
doubt that the rule prevails also in the
West. In a recent case in Illinois, where
All antitrust bill was introduced, the
agents disappointed the house members
by no suggestion of interest OF offer to
convince, and they Indignantly passed
the bill almost unanimously. Senate
figures were evidently high, as in a
body of 81 members $4,000 was requiS-
tie, and but 26 votes were needed. It
was by accident that the amount was
learned. This was an important bill, or
smaller figures would have answered.
There is no reason to suppose that llli-
nois senators are higher-priced than
those of other states. The dangerous
feature is that the popular branch of
the legislature is deprecated aud all
the thrifty statesmen will insist upon
going to the senate. A reform is evil
IDENTIFY needed in the matter.

STATE SENTIMENT,

1t begins to look as though Joel p.
HeatwOle's star was in the descendant.
When a noble young fellow like Joel is
the subject OF such jokes as the inaugu-
raj ball guy, and people smile about it,
then it is high time for him to consider
from whence and why it comes. We
tear they are guying thee, Joel.-Sleepy
Eye Herald.
The effort being made to make the
various efforts of President LOucks, of
Dakota, and Mr.. Allison, or Mr.. Dom
nelly. or the editor of this paper. an
tagonistic to each other is fiat nonsense.
The alliance workers are all moving in
precisely the same channel. We brought
Mr.. LOuckS here ourselves. Let some
of those crOakers who try to split up
the alliance show little zeal in the
work, instead of zeal in tearing down
every one who moves forward. Some
people need coat of tar and feathers
before they get common SenSe.-Glen-
wood MinneSOtian.
The New York legislature does not
get any better s'send-OffS" from the
papers of that state than our S0lOnS did
from the Minnesota press. If this thing
of abusing the legislators doesn't stop
soon, the country will find itself without
calamity that would be!-Mankato Free
Press. :
When the Review said last week, that
members of the legislature received
land certificates for supporting certain
railroad legislation, it was not guessing,
but stating fact. When it also said,
several weeks ago, that member from
this county received $3.50 for his vote on
a similar measure, it knew just whit it
was doing. 1t is no REPUTATION to these
charges to say that the editor of the Re-
view is disappointed because he was
not elected to the legislature. That
kind of logic, while it may be balm to a
guilty conscience, is not such an ex-
PLANTATION as satifies an honest public
Mankato Review.
The secret of Gladstone's long life is
known but to few people. especially few

man on his eightieth birthday to BAN
quet with newspaper staff and tell
stories till midnight. 1t is simple
question of beef. Mr.. Gladstone's prin-
ciple living is beef-rare, juicy beef
and the secret of its power consists in
the sixteen distinct bites to which each
individual morsel is subjected to by the
