Secretary Carlisle Directs That NJ
More Be Issued for the Present.
WASHINGTON. April l8-The contin
ued export of gold from this country I,
meet the Austrian demand has reduce
the free gold in the treasury to $1,S6J,-
600. In the belief that gold will con
tinue to be exported for some time t
come, and in order to supply the d,
mand for gold and to replenish the de
pleted stock in the New York sub. trea,
ury, it is stated that the treasury d,
partment has been shipping gold from
the treasury to New York for the past
week. The amount thus shipped, it
thought, is not less than $4,000, 600,
and may be more.
No More Gold Certificates.
Secretary Carlisle has directed til
sub-treasurers throughout the Unite
States to issue no more gold certificate
at present. In doing so he simply
obeyed the law, which reads:
THAT the secretary of the treasury
shall suspend the issue of gold certifi
Gates whenever the amount OF colo
coin and gold bullion in the treasury
reserved for the redemption of United
States notes falls below 500, 600. 000"
In explaining his action ON this sub
ject, Secretary Carlisle said that whit
the 800, 600 gold reserve had not
been reached he was so close to it thai
prudence dictated that no more gold Ger
tificates should be issued.

Traverse few miles west of this place,
hundreds of wild ducks and geese were
discovered frozen into the thin layer of
ice that formed during the night. Many
were dead, but large number were
alive, held prisoners by the tips of their
wings, unable to free themselves on &C
count of being benumbed with the coll.
Many were captured by farmers living
adjacent to the lake. About twenty
five or thirty Indians from the
Sisseton reservation seem to have an
ticipated something of the kind, and
were at the lake early and captured
nearly wagon box full Of the helpless
water fowl. A 14-year-old boy from
this village succeeded in capturing $50
ducks and half dozen geese. During
the storm farmer driving along the
shore of the lake killed number with
a whip, the birds huddled up in large
numbers along the shore too exhausted
by the cod to make any attempt to
/ escape.

IT RAISES THE PRICE.
MinneS)ta's Legislative Coal Investi-
eating Committee Reports.

eating Committee Reports.
ST. PAUL, April 14.-The joint legis-
lative committee which has for more
than month past been investigating
workings of the coal combine, made its
report just before the adjournment of
the legislature during the evening. 1t
rehearses the findings of the COMMITTEES
that a combine, known as the Mime
sofa Bureau of Coal Statistics, exists in
this state; that it has been able in all
the leading cities of the state to force
all,dealers not subscribers to the bu-
reau out of the coal business, and that
this combine has gradually raised the
price of anthracite coal until it now
sells at but a few cents less than 50 per
ton. The committee also recites the
fact that it has secured an indictment
against the
Central Figure of the Combine
for perjury, and is preparing cases with
the aid of the attorney general against
several members of the combine for
criminal conspiracy. The report con-
tinues:
THE retail price of coal in the three
large cities of the state and their sub
urban districts is determined monthly
at conference held between the man
ayers of the shippers or wholesalers held
at the city of St Paul at the office of the
Minnesota Bureau of Coal Statistics, a
spying institution, maintained by an
arbitrary assessment of S25 on each re-
taller, and the remainder of the price of
maintaining, which, with its parapher-
MALTA of detectives and bulldozers, is
borne equally by the shippers and
/ wholesalers. John j. Rhodes, who IS
now under arrest for perjury Ill con-
nection with this investigation, is the
manager of this bureau, and is paid a
salary of $1,000 a year. Such combina-
tions are contrary to sound public pol
icy, and are extremely dangerous.
To the Interests of the State
and the welfare of the people thereof,
and has placed in the hands and within
the power OF selfish unpublic-spirited
and cruel aggregation one Of the abso-
/ Lutte necessaries of life in this climate.
1t would be "A very lamentable state OF
affairs if our courts cannot remedy this
evil that is rapidly reducing our people
to beggary and blighting and bankrupt
ing our infant industries.
1.-The question of fuel, in view of the
attitude of those who control the sup
ply thereof, Is one that requires the
best thoughts of our greatest thinkers,
and combination of the character
herein shown to exist must be dealt
with by those charged with the duty OF
enforcing the law with fearless and
persistent energy and tireless activity.
The Recommendation.
The committee recommends to the
two houses in conclusion that the at
tention Of the governor lie directed u

A BIG SCHEME.
Canal to Connect Duluth, Twin Cities

DULUTH. April 1.-THE Minnesota
Canal company, which filed articles of
incorporation in st. Paul Saturday, and
in Duluth Monday, have surprised the
people of his city by introducing an or
dinance in the council asking permits
sion to lay water pipe through the diff
ferent streets of Duluth. 1t is not the
present intention of the company to dig
a canal between Duluth and the Twin
Cities, but rather to build a canal from
the st. Louis river, near Cloquet, in a
northeasterly direction until it reaches
the hills back of Duluth, the length of
the canal to be % miles. The company
will also

Dredge the st. Louis River

and make it navigable far above Clo-
quet. OF course the object of building
canal to the hill above Duluth and es-
tablishing reservoirs there is to furnish
water to the city, not only for fire pro-
lection, but also for manufacturing pur-
poses. 1t is a gigantic scheme, and one
that appears to be feasible. Henry
Curtis Spaulding, president of the COM
pany, said that he was obliged to as
sumo reticence in the matter for the
present, but admitted that the ultimate
plan of the company was to extend its
canal system throughout the state, con-
Meeting Duluth with several important
points. including st. Paul and Mime
apolis and the
Wheat Fields of the Northwest.
He claims to have unlimited capital at
his disposal. The estimated cost of
power for Duluth manufacturers is $15
per horse power per annum. Steam
power costs $50 to $40. There will be a
dam 500 feet long built in the st. Louis
river just below where the canal begins.
The reservoirs at the top of the hill
will be over 900 feet above the city. The
cost of improving in this way the
waters of ST. Louis county is estimated
at Sc, 100000. Large manufacturing es-
Establishments will be established along
the shores of the canal, which will be
100 feet wide and 20 feet deep.
