WON'T FIX PRICES.
Millers Admit a Combination, but
Say 1t Is Harmless


Since the GLOBE demonstrated yes
terdav morning that the flour manu-
facturerS of the Northwest are forming
a combination to control prices, the par
ties interested are willing to give out a
little information about it. Hubbard. of
Mankato, is said to have originated the
plan for a combination. The trust will
maintain an Office III Chicago. AS stated
Yesterday, all the mllerS have not been
drawn into the trust yet. Until they
have all been made parties to the agree
ment, little can be done i'll the way of
regulating prices. For the present the
trust does not amount to much. Its i'm
portance lies in the possibilities be-
fore it.
The Minneapolis millerS do not now
deny that some sort of combination is
being formed. They deny, however,
that the combination will have anything
to do with regulating prices. A min
imum price for flour may be agreed
upon, they say, but not maximum.
Some millers can get more for their
product than others, hence the futility
of trying to fix prices according to an
ironclad scale. One miller said yeSter-
day that the combination had been
in existence for years, but was now
being extended. According to his
story. the combination will not try to
regulate prices, but will make price
lists open. Every miller will be able to
know what every other miller gets for
his flour. The nillers say they do not
care what prices another miller charges
so long as they know what his price is.
What they want to get away from is
bni ct,INinofinp N r nj M hny
who often assert that rival has cut Il
price when no cut has been made
thereby profting by miller's credul'

also formulate railway aud grain legls

great temperance question. Hon. 10,

in an eloquent manner upon American

Congressman-elect James A. Tawney,
of Winona, followed with a brief adj
dress on Lincoln and his simple elo-
quence as speaker. The last speaker
or the programme was Mayor Eustis,
whose subject was: LEADERS Since
Lincoln He said there had been but
one leader since the days of Lincoln,
and that one was Blaine. In the death
of Lincoln and in the death of Blaine
the rainbow disappeared from the sky.
There were no leaders now. lie gave a
brief sketch of Blaine's life and p0-
ltcal triumphs, and in closing paid an
eloquent and touching tribute 10 the

MINNEAPOLIS.
FAITH CURE,

Presbyterinns Say 1t Must Not BE
Tried Until Other Remedies
Fail.
Rev. A. B. Nichols read a paper on
"Faith Cure in the Light or the Bible"
before the Presbyterian ministers yes
terday morning. He took the ground
that the Bible does not give men war
rant to expect God to cure illness when
they pray for it. To pray for something
not known to be the will OF God is pre-
sumption. The sick person mast use
every means at hand to cure his disease.
If he pray for cure without using rem
edieS provided 10y medicine, he vlr-
tually asks God to perform a
miracle. Faith curists, he said,
assert that sickness is. the punishment
of sin, while the orthodox Presbyte-
rians deny that it is in any way atone
showed most of the ministers to believe
in line with the argument or the paper.
The Methodist ministers discussed the
"Study of Origins" based on the first
two books of Genesis. Ministers they
found are departing further every day
from a literal Interpretation OF the
story of the creation. They decided.
further, that Moses should be given
credit for the authorship of disputed
books in the absence OF proof that any
one else wrote them.
The BaptiSts considered the adviS-
ability of erecting church at New
Brighton. They favored the project.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
1t Succeeds the Car Coupler Bill
i'm the Senate.

1t Succeeds the Car Coupler Bill
in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. = The bill
which is intended to secure the con-
struction of the Nicaragua ship canal
occupied the attention of the senate to-
day. 1t provides that 3 per cent bonds
OF the company to an amount not eX-
ceedng 500, OOo shall be guaranteed
principal and interest by the govern
ment OF the United States, these bonds
to be issued according as money is actu-
ally paid out and expended by the COM
pany in the construction of the canal.
The government is then to own
the capital stock of the COM
.pany. with the exception of the
Sl2, 100000 of it, which is to be
retained by the company, and except
the shares to be delivered to the gov
ernments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The Importance of this guarantee by
the government was demonstrated in a
speech by Mr.. Frye, who undertook to
show it would with the guaranteed be
finally completed at cost OF 100000
900, and that its fixed charges would be
only $4,000 600 year Outside of sink
ing fund.-, whereas without the guar
anteel the cost would not be less than
$500, 600 and its fixed charges fourteen
millions year. Mr.. Morgan, Dem, of
Alabama. discussed the diplomatic feat
ureS of the measure.

ANNEXATION OBJECTIONS.
Some Fo-cibie Ones Stated by EX-
Minister Merrill.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 13.-In the
next number of the Californian Illus
strated Magazine eX-Minister George
w. Merrill, now of Los Angeles, has an
article on Annexation of Hawaii"
which puts in very vigorous style the
chief objections to annexation by the
United States. Mr.. Merrill traces the
efforts of the anneXa iOnists back for
fifty years, asserting that the scheme
has always been agitated by American
spectators interested in the islands,
and has been considered favorably sue
cessively 10y Secretaries Webster. Ever
EFT and Marcy. The danger of Inter-
ference in the affairs of Hawaii by any
European government is so remote, Mi.
Merrill says, that annexation cannot be
justified OH that ground. The Ameri-
can population is but 1000 in total of
about $1,000, made up largely of Chinese,
Portuguese, Japanese and natives. He
believes such a possession would be a
source OF weakness in case OF foreign
war, would be no protection to our Pa
cific coast, and would be hard to defend.
He calls attention to the contract labor
laws which the government would be
compelled to enforce, and concludes:
$40 any one acquainted with the eli
matte influences, the simplicity and
wants of native race, the aggressive
ness of the Asiatic, the requirements of
the state industries and the labor con-
ditiOnS of that country, it must be APP
parent that the autonomy of Hawaii is
far better adapted to the wants of Its
people than any other condition. While,
Oh the other hand, so long as the United
states maintain their present attitude
embracing that group within the Mon
roe doctrine-and keep an eye of the
eagle posed in the direction of Hawaii,
the harbor privileges, naval station and
cable Will accomplish for US all that is
desirable without intlicting any injury

CONFERENCE POSTPONED.
Foster Did Not Meet the Commits
SiOners YESTERDAY.

siOners Yesterday
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-ThiS has bee n
an uneventful day in Washington,s far
as the Hawaiian question is concerned.
The annexation commissioners were to
have had another conference with the
secretary of state, but at the suggestion
of that gentleman it was postponed I'M
til tomorrow, in order to enable him to
attend the meeting of the dele
gates to the monetary conference. The
commissioners will have conference
with the secretary tomorrow, and it is
expected that the completed documents
in the case and the presidents message
OH the subject will be laid before the
cabinet after the conference.
it is said, however. that they will
never be sent to the capitol until after
the arrival of letters and dispatches
from Minister Stevens and other officials
which reached San Francisco last
Thursday on the Australia. This mail
is due in Washington, barring delays,
tomorrow evening. Many matters of
detail are constantly coming up for
discussion, some of which will find no
place in the treaty, but be left for set
Element under the questions of admin
lStrati0n and government. The prin-
cipal financial item is that of bounty on
sugar. The HawaiianS naturally want
the present to apply to their crop, but
are not insisting upon this point very
strongly. being convinced that the
bounty under the present tariff law will
not be retained long enough to cover
the crop Of the islands, which does not
begin 10 come in till December,
