GONE TO INVESTIGATE.
Railroad Commissioners or on
Trip That May Develop
Results.
Farmers and TownspeopIe of Thief
River Complain Of Unjust
Grading

Col. Liggett, of the railroad and
warehouse commission, left last night
for Thief River Falls. He was
Joined at Fergus Falls by Com. j. p.
Williams. aud the two proceeded to
Thief River, where they will inVesti-
gate the complaints that have been
made constantly to the commission
of late by the citizens ana farmers
in the vicinity that the warehouses
were not giving them proper grades
md weights. The commission has
really no authority in the premises, but
lhe warehouse people i'll This case nave
offered TO throw open their books and
scales for thorough investigation
Should they refuse to do so, as has been
Dften done, there is no power the COM
mission can use to compel them. This
point is one that will be urged for early
consideration by the legislature, and
Will probably be recommended to 1t at
an early day. That there is need of law
to bring every warehouse in the state
under the jurisdiction of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission is ad-
mitted, in order to afford the protection
mud inquiry that is asked for every day
by patrons OF the warehouses in all
parts Of the state.

the Balance, Says One
Who Knows.
Outline Of the Scheme as It
May Develop at an Early
Day.
Chief Of Police Garvin Is
Credited With a Desire for
Vindication.

1t Is stated on what purports to be
good authority that Eugene Stillwell,
Mayor Wrghts business partner, will
succeed Reuben Warner as fire com
missioner, and this means the displace-
ment OF John Jackson as chief engineer
and the substitution of Panl Martin,
present fire commissioner, to succeed
him. This is renewal Of the old
Black fight. Jackson is no politician,
and always attended to his business,
and while he has been chief never per-
mitted politics to permeate the ranks of
the fire department.
This scheme is a preliminary to Mayor
Wright'S aspirations for reelection,
and it IS said his appointments in the
future will be made with that end in
view. Mr. Stiiwell would have been
appointed school Inspector, but the
mayor thought it would embarrass him
for reelection if he appointed Still
we'll so soon after election. Father
Conway, it was thought, would be APP
pointed to succeed DR.. Keane, but
compromise was made Oh John. ID.
O'Brien. But Eugene. one of the may
or's household, must be taken care Of.

Newsboys to Feast on Fine
Viands Tonight--Breed-
ers' Meeting.

Thus far the Christmas season has
far surpassed that of other years in ST
Paul i'll gifts. The prosperity OF the
country, as well as the city, is put be-
yond dispute by the evidence of the
carriers of parcels. The postoffice has
been completely blocked, and the sew
eral express companies have done a
business far SURPRISING previous rec
ords. Postmaster Castle said yesterday
that his assistant, p. O'Brien, is author
ity for the statement that as many pack
ages have been handled at the poStofiice
the past week as were handled in both
of the preceding holiday seasons. The
registry department has been COM
pletely blocked, and no packages that
have been received since Friday have
yet been handled. The force is working
over hours to clear up the business, and
all the available additional help has
been put in the office to assist. The
postmaster asked for additional help
for the holiday season. but was met
with the reply that there is no money to
pay for additional help. The letter
carriers were expecting to get off with
one delivery yesterday, but they had to
work all day, making four or five trips,
with as large packs as they could carry.
Then they only handled the mail mat
ter accumulated before yesterday. This
was handled closely, but the accumula-
tions of yesterday will make heavy
work for today.
Manager Owens, of the Adams Ex-
press company, said that his men had
worked all of yesterday, and they had
been rushed for a week. BY last even
ing they had handled all the packages
on hand Each of the employees, in
Guiding tine messengers, Office force and
conductors OH trains, was presented
with turkey and can of oysters.
The American express company re-
ported business very much in excess of
last year. and yesterdays work cleared
up the business to date. AT the Great
Northern Express company the word
was that business was very good, and
far better than last year. The COM
pany is up with the business.
At the United States express office
business was reported excellent, and
better than last year.
All of the express offices had the
same general story as to unprecedented
activity and hard work to keep up with
the business.

Inman line, arrived in port this after
noon after the toughest passage she has
ever experienced. The City of Berlin

time was eleven days. three hours and
fifteen minutes. Heavy weather pre-
vailed from the first to the last day, and
on Monday, Dee. 10, the steamship en-
cOuntered very severe gale. The
sea ran so high that several yentilatOrs
were carried away, and boat amidship
smashed to pieces. On that day the
vessel only made 252 knots, and on
Tuesday so fierce was the gale that the
steamship made scarcely 1l3 knots. Ice
gathered Oh the deck several inches
thick, and coated the sides from stem to
stern. During the next week a fierce
gale blew continuously, and the steam
er's speed was retarded to such an eX
tent that she reached this port three
days behind time. None of the passen-
gers were injured. though many re-
ceived considerable shaking up.

The Minnesota Association of Breed
ers of Trottlng and Pacing Horses failed
again yesterday of quorum at their ad-
journed annual meeting held at the
office of George w. Sherwood, in the
Drake block. The occasion lacked one
of a quorum. Those present adjourned
the annual meeting to tha state fair
week, which is the second week in Sep
tember. Owing to the Columbian ex-
position there will be no state fair this
year, a fact well known; but the breed
ers will meet at the grounds. on a day
to be named later, during the regular
fair week.
Those present yesterday discussed
various matters of interest to the asso-
citation i'll an informal way. Among
these was the matter of heats in trot-
ting and pacing races of the breeders
association. A prominent member
suggested that as the many heats
which are often trotted in race to de-
clare ties become very tireSome to the
spectators, the rules be changed so that

said that though one horse won two of
the three heats he should be required
to go third with the rest of the horses
for the pleasure of the spectators, and
if he won the third heat he should win
a larger per cent of the purse. On the
fifth heat no matter how many OF the
horses were tried. he thought the money
should be divided. His idea met the
general approval among those present,
