Minneapolis, it modestly says, has far

The trade in the coarser cotton fabrics
had been practically lost before the Nc
Kinley tariff was made.
The head of one of the firms, in reply
to questions, said: ave have done
large trade for the last twenty-five years
with America, both in the better and
medium makes of goods. Since the new
tariff we have ceased making the med

given our attention to lighter cloths, for
which we can do brisk trade despite

According to Bradford manufacturers
the effect OF the tariff upon exports to
the states has so far proved even more
prejudicial to the Bradford trade than
was anticipated. The head of the larg-
est mercantile house in Bradford says
the sustained falling off of exports of
stuff goods, wOrsted coatings and seal
pushes, the three leading manu-
features, has been larger than anybody
here expected. 1t was not thought that
the dlmlnution of these classes would,
after the first three months, exceed one
third, but was more than 80 per cent.
taking the three together. last July. and
that was by far the most favorable COM
parlson for Bradford which has been
since the new tariff commenced.
AT Dundee the general opinion ex
pressed,is however. that the effect of the
Mckinley tariff has been in the linen
trade to cause manufacturers to use
Wuch smaller-siZed yarns, and to send
to America much higher-priced goods.
There is, they say, in many markets q
| demand for linens of useful and cheaper
makes: The new tariff prevents such
goods from being sent, as the duty falls
with its prOhibitive force upon the or
binary domestic linens.

THE KITTEN WINS.
And Miss May Moore Holds the
Silver Gun.


1t was an ideal ladies' day at White
Bear yesterday afternoon, not so much
wind as TO make the yachts unruly, and
not so little as to do away with all eX-
element. The attempt at a race on Sat
urday afternoon was extremely diScour-
aging, owing to the lack of wind, and
was declared off, and reSailed yesterday
afternoon. The prize for which the
ladies sailed was one we'll worth the dis
comfort of aching arms and blister ed
hands. Capt. Luther Newport offered
a very handsome silver cup, to be the
personal property of the lady winning
the race. The yachts were sailed as
follows:
Nushka Miss Florence Lamprey: Kathar-
inc, Mrs H. 4. Drake; Secret, Miss Bertha
Bement; Kelpie, Miss Marguerite Taylor;
Merry Monarch, Miss Margaret Hall; Kitten,
Miss May Moore; Storm King Miss Rachel
Rice; Martha, Mrs. G. o. Nettleton.
The yachts started off before the
wind led by the Secret. and she held
her lead as far as the Mahtomedi buoy.
When the windward work began the
Nushka soon came to the front closely
followed by the Kitten. The cats fol-
lowed some distance behind, and the
Viking soon took the lead and rounded
the second buoy with long lead over
other cats. The NuShka finished first
with long lead. the Kitten followed
her. and the Storm King passed the
home buoy just after the Kitten. But
when the corrected time was figured it
was found that the Kitten was the win
ner and Miss May Moore, of st. Paul.

MUNICIPAL UNION.

a con or two ago the st. Paul cham
Der of commerce challenged the Mime
apolis board of trade to a joint debate
on the question of municipal union.
The st. Paul chamber of commerce is
an organization of gentlemen of the
highest character and intelligence. 1t
used TO meet once week for an hour
and discuss subjects of contemporaries
GUS local interest. Its bylaws have re-
Gently been amended so that it no
longer does this. 1t now meets once
week and votes to adjourn because it
has no quorum. This has been found
more profitable tbrn speechmaking.
Each absent member pays a fine of 81,
and, by promptly bringing Its weekly
sessions to close while they are still
hurrying to their seats, a tidy sum is
melted for the chambers treasury. In
the days when less frugal mind pre-
vailed, the body Just hungered
for debate. Its directors, having
measured their powers against each
other, yearned to cope with still other
foemen. Minneapolis offered an at
tractiVe field for battle because of its
geographical proximity, and the consol-
idation problem an interesting theme
because it was found to excite much
warmth of feeling and to embrace the
Wholerange of human knowledge. A COM
mittee was appointed to carry out the
project, and at once went to work study
ing the principles OF euphony and word
formation in the hope of lighting on a
name for the imaginary metropolis pro-
posed to be constructed. which would at
once satisfy the classical tastes of our
city sister, and at the same time not be
fatal to people whose constitutions are
unequal to the shock OF an Indian noun
glued to Greek termination. Advanc-
ing years long since led to an abandon
ment OF their labor; but no doubt new
committee would soon have been select
ed to continue the enterprise. The
Minneapolis board of trade, however,
voted yesterday, after It deliberaton
which may fairly be called mature. that
it did not care to play. 1t seems, there

is pervaded by noticeable tone of dis
trust and of grievance over past injuries
TO which the city it represents has been
subjected. 1t says that previous agita-
tions of this project have amounted to
nothing, and from this it has become
apparent, to quote its own words:
That all the talk of union meant only for
our citizens to return (meaning THAT our cit
liens should retun'') to building up the in

THEATRICAL FIRST NIGHTS.

Seldom does a first-night performance
draw such an audience as greeted the open
ing production of ''Men and Women" at the
Metropolitan last night Every seat on the
floor of the theater was taken, and, while the
audience was not especially demonstrative,
it was keenly appreciative. men and
Women is one of the strongest plays on the
stage. The plot is rather outside the usual
dramatic rot, and its likeness to real life is
its strength. It's comedy is almost far
cical, yet is entirely in keeping
with the development of character. Miss
Esther Lyon, who was seen recently IN Mr..
Wilkinson's Widows" is exceptionally strong
as Alice Rodman. Her conception of the
scene in viii IN Agnes first fully realizes her
lovers misdeed is wonderfully natural and
effective. Miss Eta Hawkins appearance
was greeted with hearty applause. AS Mar
gerry Knox she is delightfully."- breezy and
piquant. Her laugh is the most expressive
thing one can imagine. Miss Gertrude Dawes
as Dora Prescott was very sweet and gIrlish,
displaying at the same time unusual strength
in the scene when her lovers threatened
arrest is told her. The other women of the
cast Miss Eleanor Lyndale, Miss Lin
den and Miss Craven, are pleasing,
Miss Lyndale especially so. Theodore
Ham lton as Gov. Rodman is consistent
thro Ighout. His voice, manner and appear
ance are those of a man used to authority,
whose past has still left its indelible trace
Byron Douglass as William Prescott is very
manly and earnest. The character is one of
the most interesting on the modern stage.
Israel Cohen is made a very noble and SYM
pathetic character by Henry Dalton. A clever
and unexpected bit of comedy in the almost
tragic scene of the directors meeting is the
