Cause of 1t.

Judge William Mitchell, of the su-
preme court of Minnesota, was about
the capitol building yesterday for the
first time in two months, having re-
turned Saturday from a vacation trip
through the Southern states and Old
Mexico. He says that he was very
much surprised with Mexico. The coun-
try seems to be undergoing a mild
boom, due mainly, he thinks, to the
advent into the country of American
people and the modern methods which
they employ. In his trip through the
country he visited all the larger cities
of Importance, and everywhere he
found Americans and American cap
ital. In speaking of his trip, he said:
THE introduction into Mexico of so
many Americans with their modern
ways of doing business is creating
decided upward tendency among the
middle and higher classes of that cOun-
try. 1t has not, as yet, reached the
masses, and that could hardly be ex-
pected, for they are mostly made up of
Indian poems and are, if anything, in
feriOr to our Southern negro. The mat
ter of existence, even in the meanest
way, is also Of so serious a nature to
them that they have no time to better
themselves in an educational way. The
mixed blOods are, however coming to
the front very rapidly and are gradual

LITTLE TYPHOID HERE.
Only Five Cases i'm st Paul at This
Time.


The recent typhoid fever epidemic in
Minneapolis and the appearance of a
few case in ST. Paul, have caused no
little amount of apprehension in this
city. Reports from Minneapolis state
that among the school children there
are no less than fifty-eight cases, while
at the city hospital two of the nurses
and one of the attending physicians are
down with the disease and many cases
have been turned away owing to the
crowded condition of the hospital Dill
gent inquiry was made among the
physicians and the hospitals of this
city yesterday and less than half a doz-
en- cases of actual typhoid were found
The physicians regard this as phenomi-
nal for this time of the year and es-
pecially so owing to the filthy condition
of many of the STREETS Of the city. One
physician has a young lady patient
down with the fever who has been in
the habit of spending a great deal of
her time in Minneapolis and he is Of
the opinion that she undoubtedly con-
tracted the disease while over there
There are but two cases of fever in the
hospitals and are both at ST. Joseph's
There are, so far as could be ascertain
ed, but two other cases in ST. Paul
and both are children who attend
school in Minneapolis and reside in st.
Paul. 1t is the opinion of some ST
Paul physicians that the epidemic in
Minneapolis has been caused by the
filthy condition Of the river water and
there can be no repetition of it here as
St. Paul is not drawing it's supply from
the river. DR.. Ball, of this city, is at
present engaged, with Prof w. B.
Wilson, of the Minneapolis board of
health, in making an analysis of water
taken from the river at that point
and they will have their report ready
by tomorrow. ST. Paul physicians are
very confident that there will De no

WILL FIGHT SOME MORE,
Irving Todd Says Hastings Won't
Give Up Yet.

Irving Todd, of the Hastings Gazette,
was visitor in st. Paul yesterday He
came to the city principally to consult
with Secretary Slime in regard to the
annual jaunt of the state editors, but
incidently expressed his views on the
recent action of the governor in veto
ing the Hastings asylum bill. He said:
I'm my opinion, the action of the gov
ernor was prompted by purely selfish
motives On his part and not for the
reasons given by him. Feeling is at
high tide in Hastings, and you may
rest assured that they will not be
cheated out of that hospital without
fight. If any one will go to Anoka
now and view the proposed site, they
will find ample proof that 1t is not
fit place for a hospital site. 1t is under
water now and is always in this con-
dition for six months out of the year.
The place is simply a swamp and that
is the best that can be said for it, The
argument advanced that the Anoka
site has already been purchased is not
a good one, for it would certainly cost
twice as much to put the Anoka site
into condition to build on as it would to
buy the Hastings site.

CUT THEIR WAY THROUGH.
Hastings & Dakota Line Has Been
Opened Again.

People out in South Dakota feel frenzied
with delight at being restored to the map of
civilization once more. Out on the Hastings
and Dakota division of the Milwaukee there
has been tie-up for nearly a month and
the people along that line were becoming
hard up for provisions and fuel. The first
passenger train for nearly thirty days reached
Aberdeen Sunday. The Harlem branch and
the Madison Bristol divisions are still under
snow. The divisions will be opened, however
in a day or two.
Superintendent Fox, of the Hastings and
Dakota divisions said yesterday that the
rumor that the rotary snow plows had been
practically useless were not true. The road
would have been tied up yet had 1t not been
for those machines. The chief difficulty has
been snow, and not ice reported 1t is
true, says Mr.. Fox, that in the shallow cuts
the warm weather and rain have caused water
to settle down through the snow where it wou ID
freeze in thick layer over the rails. This
also would occur at the ends of the big cuts
but that feature did not cause the most ser
ious delay. gang Of men was carried with
the snow plows all the time and when this
sheet ice was encountered the gang would set
to work with picks to clear the rails so that
the rotaries could attack the big drifts which
lay beyond.

BETTER THAN EVER.
MinnesOta's 1897 Blue Book Is a
Record Breaker

If any state in the union has ever
gotten out a more creditablc legislative
manual than the Minnesota 1897 blue
book advance copies of which were
given to the press yesterday by Sec
rotary of State Berg, then it must be
printed on silk, for from the two front
ispieces. the new capitol and the gOr-
geous moccaSiH flower in natural tintS,
to the comprehensive index in the
pages beginning with 6S4, the book re-
fleets great credit on the state.
Preceding the more useful, but rather
dry matter which has characterized
previous blue books. this one has short
stories about the state flag the state
flower and the blue book itself, after
which come the usual chapters COM
priSing the organization of the state,
it's constitution, the federal conStitu-
ton and the lists of the present and
previous legislatures. Standing COM
mittees of thes present body, rules of
both houses, bases of reapportionment,
legislative and congressional, and a
general manual O of parliamentary
practice.
The description of the states re-
sources is brought up to date, and a
chapter on the new interstate park is
added to that which has already be-
come a feature, the variations of the
progress of the Itasca park.
The chapters relating to state institu-
tions are trite. but are handsomely il
Illustrated by half tones in place of the
old wood cuts. Besides, some informa-
ton is given in regard to state organi-
cations which, while not official, are
public in character, such as the HUI
name society, butter and cheese makers
and some general information, con-
cisely told, in regard to the basic facts
of the new elective franchise require
ments, legal holidays and other mat
tiers of frequent question.
The personnel of state and county
governments is given in detail as here
tofore, and the tables of election statis-
tics, but so eornpactly that in spite of
the large amount of additional matter
contained in the volume, it is only sixty
pages larger than that Of the previous
session, forty of which are required for
the abstract of the census, which is by
no means the least valuable Of the ref
erence portion of the volume
Valuable tables are also distracted
from the reports of the state auditor,
treasurer, and the statistical work of
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion, and lists are given of all the state
banks and all the newspapers published
in the state. The usual list of post
offices is supplemented by a table of
the changes in-the names of Offices ana
in abandonment of star routes.
The personnel of the main branches
of the federal government are also
given, with the Minnesota land offices
and judicial 3officers, naturalization
laws, passport regulations, and a
synopsis of the corporation laws
Not the least creditable features are
two maps, which are restored to this
volume. showing the legislative and
judicial districts, and the latter is es-
pecially to be romplimented in that it
shows the seventeenth district which
was created but a few days ago. The
eighteenth, a bill for which was intro
duced but yesterday, naturally is not
on the map.

CHICAGO. March 29-It is now definitely
decided that in the near future the Baltimore
& Ohio will have a lake and rail route to
the East. The road is now making arrange
ments for two boats, which will run from
Milwaukee TO Fairport, near Cleveland, where
the road has already constructed large docks
and there the freight will be transferred to
the rail route. The time for the lake line to
go into operation is not yet settled upon, but
the probabilities are that it will be in full
operation about the LIST of August.
The net earnings Of the Burlington road for
the month of February were $34O, $40 an in
crease of $299,615 over the same month Of
last year. For the first two months of this

Circulars were issued yesterday from
the offices of President ]. j. Hill, of the
Northern Steamship company, and
President Samuel Hill, of the Eastern
Minnesota railway company, which
fully confirm the predictions of the
G 0 b e relative to the management
of those two companies in the future.
The circular by ]. j. Hill reads as fol-
lows
On April 1, 1897, the head office of the
Northern steamship company will be removed
from Duluth to Buffalo, N. Y. w. c. Far
rington will have full charge of the companys
property and business with headquarters at
Buffalo.
The circular by Samuel Hill says:
Commencing April l. James n. Hill, vice
president of the Eastern Minnesota Railroad
company, will assume the duties of general
manager, with headquarters at Duluth, vice
w. Z. harrington, resigned on account of the
removal Of the offices of the Northern Steam
ship company to Buffalo.
The changes mean that Mr.. Earring
ton will become general manager as
we'll as vice president of the steamship
company, and that he will have no
connection whatever with the Eastern
Minnesota or Great Northern interests.
James N. Hill is practically promoted,
as the combination of the two offices,
those of vice president and general
manager, carries double responsibilities

BUSINESS WAS LIGHTER.
Fewer People Went to Washington
This Year Than in '93.

Inauguration business of the B. & o. was
not as large this year as it four years
ago, and the same holds true for the other
railroads. From all that can be ascertained
the b. & o. handled more people into Wash
ington than any other railroad entering that
city, and General Passenger Agent SculI has
figured that "a 600 tickets were sold. OF this
number fully $4,000 were sold in Baltimore
on the morning of March 4. D. F. Maroney
superintendent of transportation, reports that
commencing on the morning Of March / and
ending at $3.50 p. m, March 4, inclusive, the
B. & 0. ran into Washington 154 scheduled
trains with 12S extra cars, and 10S special
trains with III cars. The number of trains
leaving Washington was practically the same,
and it is supposed that fully 80 900 of the
people who went in came out before March 6,
making the total handling of about "a 900
people for the inauguration. Most Of the
travel was from the East, and very small
proportion from points west of the Ohio river
1t being quite evident that the high rate of
fare deferred many from coming and the
short limit on the tickets also seriously al
fected business.
