STARVING WORKMEN.
The Increased Price OF Rye
Causes Great Misery.

Causes Great Misery.
LONDON, Aug. ia Berlin dispatc h
says the news from Eastern Prussia is
of the gloomiest character. The people
there have just become generally aware
of the Russian prohibition OF the
export of rye, and they regard
1t almost as death sentence.
Those near the frontier have been de-
pending of late on rye purchased in
small quantities across the boundary in
Russia. The Russian officials now re-
fuse to let even pound of grain go over
the line, and have threatened with i'm
prisonment any person caught selling or
any German found on Russian soil with
grain purchased there. The scenes de-
scribed are heartrending and numerous
applications have been made to the local
authorities Tor relief. These applica-
tons are fast consuming the money de-
voted to the sustenance Of the poor, and
there is some talk of petitioning the
Prussian government to issue army ra-
lions to the distressed. 1t Is believed
that Chancellor Capriyi will adopt this
course rather than repeal the corn
duties. In the manufacturing centers
of Germany, rye bread is the staple
of the poorer class of Workingmen and
their families, and any increase of the
already high price would mean starva-
ton to many.
BERLIN. Aug. 13.-The cabinet will
meet Oh Saturday to discuss means to
minimize the i'll effects of the Russian
rye ukase on the poorer classes, who
are wholly dependent upon rye
bread. The provincial governors and
boards are instructed to report to the
government on the stocks on hand and
the harvest prospects. Official organs
assert that Russia will not be able to
continue the prohibition long for fear
of disaster to her own finances. The
st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Cologne Gazette asserts that
the special Russian commissions
which were recently sent out to make
an Investigation reported to the govern
ment that there was sufficient rye
stored up to render the prohibition of
expectation superfTuous; that the dis
tresS was overrated. and that the har-
vest was not as bad as alleged.
1t is believed in Berlin that Russia
took the partial distress as a welcome
pretext to aim blow at Germany. The
Kreus Zeitung suggests that Germany
now prohibit the expectation of corn.

The BONDS GO SLOW.
Secretary Fosters Two Per
Cent Bond Plan Begins
to Drag.
Over Thirty-TWo Millions Of
Four Per Cents Still
Held Out.
The Banks Are Blamed for
This PerpleXing State Of
Affairs.
Civil Service Promotions Will
Hereafter Be Solely for
Merit.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-Inquiry at
the treasury department develops the
fact that Secretary Fosters plan for
continuing the ~ per cent loan at per
cent has so far failed TO meet with the
favor that was anticipated by its advo-
Gates. On the ID of July, when the
offer was made TO continue the AZ per
cent bonds at ? per cent, there
were outstanding S51, 900, 600 ~
per cents, of which amount S23,
100000 were held by 900 nat
ional banks as basis for circulation.
Since then SIS, 100000 Of the bonds have
been continued. OF this amount s., 000,-
600 came from private individuals and
$780, goo from 600 national banks,
leaving s.. 100000 ~ per cents in the
possession of 500 national banks, and
SIS. 100000 in the hands of individuals.
These bonds, aggregating SO, 100000,
in order to be continued under
the present offer, must be presented
on or before Sept. ,, the date on which
their interest ceases. Otherwise the
secretary of the treasury must be pre-
pared TO redeem them on presentation
or make terms with the holders for an
extension of time at the present rate of
interest, viz: ~ per cent. The avail
able cash balance in the treasury to-
day, outside of fractional silver coin
and deposits in national banks, is 3d..
100000, and is
Gradually increasing.
While there is no question of the gov
ernment's ability to redeem these bonds
at maturity, it is well known that it
would prefer to continue them. There
is no doubt that the 81, 500, 600 of bonds
held by national banks will be present
ed for continuance. The uncertainty is
wholly in regard to the So, 000, 000in the
hands of individuals. The department
had assurances that these bonds would
be taken up by the national banks, and
used for the purpose of increasing
their circulation. This was the argu-
ment that mainly induced the depart
ment to adopt the 2 peN cent plan. SO
far, however. it seems the assurances
have not been made good. According
to prominent treasury official this is
entirely the fault of the banks. "Chere
is no sense,'' said he this afternoon. ''in
the owners of these bonds holding
them for redemption by the gov
eminent at par when they are at
a premium Of three-Quarters of l per
cent on the market. They are either
holding out for a greater premium or
the banks which were OStensibly so will
ing to take up the loan for the purpose
of increasing their circulation have
gone back entirely on their promises to
the department and are making no eff
fort whatever to secure these floating
bonds" This is one of the questions
that will be presented to Secretary
Foster on his return to Washington
from his vacation i'll Ohio.

MONEY GALORE E!

With the great crop now
being harvested will come a
great abundance Of money
to the Northwest. This al
ways means speculation, and
there is nothing Of which our
people are so fond of as spec
ulating in real estate. With
st. Paul and Minneapolis
growing at their. present rate
our real estate is the best
speculation in the country,
and people are finding this
out. After our last boom
many people here and some
elsewhere thought it was the
end Of real estate profits,an
because real estate was dull
for a time that the city was
gone to the bad. But it has
really done better than ever
before. Outsiders have found
this out, and some few peo-
pie here know it. The fool
killer has been around this
year and scared the croakeps
away, and this fact, with our
great crops, has started
things on a new boom. Visit
the factories, the wholesale,
merchants, or the retailers
and keep your eyes open, and
you will see this for your
self. Activity in real estate
will follow this, and it has,
in fact, already begun. For
a while you will not notice
it. But look back a year
from now an d you will see
the difference. In a growing
city real estate booms are
like waves in a rising flood.
One comes and reeedes, and
each one that follows goes far
Their than the one before. The
purchases that are being made
show that the wave is COM
ing again. So buy now and
you get the benefit. If you
want a home buy now and
get the benefit Of low prices.
If you want an investment
or a speculation, by all means
buy now.
We are now offering prop
erty at ridieulously low
prices, just to keep the ball
rolling. But we shall raise
them soon. Come and buy
now at your own price. II
you wait you will have to
pay our price, and then you
will want TO be kicked by long-eared
quadrnped, and will call on yourself to
do the Job. We have the best property
in South st. Paul, the great manufact-
uring place of the present and future,
and will sell lois worth $500 to sl,0OO
for $3.50 to $500 to impr0vers.
We have also 200 acres OF the very
best land for market gardens, COnVsn-
iently located, which we will sell in
quantities to suit. We have good
property in all parts Of the city, and
some specially fine business property.

CHARLES S. WOLFE DEAD.
Pennsylvania Loses Her Executive
Commissioner.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. Is. = The
people of this city were shocked this
afternoon when the announcement
was made that Hon. Charles S.
Wolfe had fallen dead on the

when the sad ending of his life oc-
Cured, and the news spread over the

elected executive commissioner of the
worlds fair by the Pennsylvania COM
missioners. From the capitol he was
accompanied to the Grand hotel
by his near friend, ex-senator
Lewis Emery Rand there the two gen.
tlemen ate a hearty dinner. Mr.. Wolfe
was returning to the capital unaccOm-
panied when he fell upon the pave
ment on Third street. near Walnut.
Members of the commission fastened to
his side to render assistance, but it was
a heart attack and he died almost in
stantly. His body was sent to the I'M
dertakers and prepared for conveyance
to Lewisburg. Friends of Mr.. Wolfe
will accompany the body home.

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Important Amendments for tn
Benefit of Clerks.

Important Amendments for the
Benefit of Clerks.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Upon the
recommendation of the civil service
committee the president has approved
certain amendments to the civil
service rules. These amendments,
in effect, provide that all pro-
motions in the classified civil
service shall be made only after a COM
petitive examination prescribed by and
conducted under the direct supervision
of the civil service commission. For
some time past examination for promo
tons have been conducted by the COM
mission in the war department, but
they have been unsatisfactory from the
fact that the examinations were COM
pulsOry, and from the further fact that
the appointment officer was empOw-
cred to promote any person
who might pass the examination
without reference to his relative
great prominence will be given to a
clerks Office record for punctuality and
efficiency. Briefly, promotions here
after, like appointments, will be made
solely upon merit. The amended rule
in question reads as follows: $50 far as
practicable and useful competitive
examinations shall be established in the
classified civil service to test fitness
for promotion, under such regula-
lions as the commission may
make. Until such regulations have
been applied to any part of the CLASH
fed service, promotions therein shall be
made i'll the manner prescribed by the
rule applicable thereto" The next in
Importance is the rule in regard to the
markings of all examination papers
whether for appointment or promotion.
Heretofore the grade of each COM
petitor has been expressed by the whole
number nearest the general average at
tanned. disregarding fractions. Under
the amended rule the exact mark of each
competitor, including fractions, will be
entered on the registers. Several other
amendments to the rules have been
made affecting the railway mail service.
They are not, however, of general in
tereSt.
