FOR ILLEGAL BANKING.
Additional Indictments Returned by the
Grand Jury at ~. Paul.

S.. Paul, May 24.-Additional indict-
ments were made public Friday, hav-
ing been turned in by the grand jury
as another result of their investigation
of the failed banks. Two of these are
against trustees of the Minnesota Saw
ings and a third was against William
Bickel father of the president Of that
bank, and vice president of the Allie
mania bank. Alfred s. Kittson, one of
the trustees, borrowed $12 1874 from the
bank and is indicted on the charge of
grand larceny as the law forbids loan
ing money of savings institutions TO the
trustees of such banks. Kittson was
promptly bailed. He is the youngest
son of the late Commodore Norman
Kittson.
A second indictment on a like charge
is made against John F. Baker, an
other trustee, who is now secretary OF
legation at Managua. Central America,
his father, Lewis Baker, being United
States minister TO Costa Rica and Mica
aqua. The Indictment against Will
lam Bickel is for taking $4,000 unlaw-
fully from the Minnesota Savings bank.
When last heard from, Mr.. Bickel was
in California, where he went some time
ago for his health.

ECHO OF THE DEBS STRIKE.
Judge Decides Against Chicago I'm the
First suit for Damages.

Chicago, May 24-Judge Adams Sat-
urday handed down a decision which, IL
upheld by the higher courts, will mean
an inroad into the treasury Of Chicago
amounting TO over $1,OO0.0 900. In the case
OF the Manhattan Cement company
against the city for damages of 5000 sus-
tanned during the big railroad strike, he
handed down an opinion awarding the
plaintiff corporation three -fourths Of the
amount asked. The suit was brought
as a test case and hundreds of others
are behind, none of which will be prose-
cuted until the tribunals of appeal have
passed upon the merits of the views OF
Judge Adams. Just how much these
various organizations ask cannot be ex-
aCtly calculated at present, but lawyers
who are familiar with the situation de-
clare the sum will contain seven figures.
The Manhattan company sued on ac-
count of loss of cement in a car de-
stroyed by the strikers.
The contention Of the city was that
the law under which the plaintiff sought
to recover was unconstitutional. The
law, which was passed in 1887, makes
the city liable for three -fourths Of the
property destroyed in any riot in which
twelve or more persons are engaged.
In delivering his opinion Judge Adams
said:
"A trial Judge should be exceedingly
careful in passing on the validity of any
law, and have borne this in mind. But
there does not seem to be any doubt
tLat this law, which makes the city La
BILE for damages done by strikers with
in its gates is perfectly sound. I must
therefore declare 1t constitutional and
award the company just three-fourths
Of the sum 1t asks, under the construc-
ton of the law which says the munich
pality shall be responsible to just that
extent"
The decision created some surprise
among the attorneys of the city. No
time will be lost in carrying it to the
supreme court

LITTLE COMFORT IN LONDON.
Scanoids Are Built and Provisions Double
in Cost.

London, May 24.-London is already
plunged into the queens jubilee prepa-
rations and for the next six weeks it
promises TO be the most uncomfortable
city in Europe. Along the route of the
procession the fronts of the buildings
are disfgured by hideous scaffoldings,
preparatory to building seats. Even
churches like st. Martin 's-in-the-Fields
have been sold to spectators who have
almost completely covered the edifice
mentioned with building preparations,
a little sign reading, Services as usual
being about the only indication left of
the church proper. st. Pauls cathed-
raj is likewise dishgured by huge stands.
The price of provisions has already
advanced and everything has at least
doubled in cost For the jubilee week
several of the large hotels refuse to
make any definite arrangements for
rooms even to old patrons until week
before the jubilee. Every person who
has been able to do so has let his or her
house for the celebration and is prepar-
fng to flee to the country. The fact Is
that every one in London is, to use a
slang expression, ION the make"

FIGHT ON TARIFF BILL.
Democrats VIII Move to Strike Out Some
Internal Revenue Features.

Washington. May 24.-The Democrat
ic senator's held caucus Saturday and
decided to inaugurate their fight upon
the tariff bill as soon as the bill is
taken up in the senate by a motion to
strike out the internal revenue features
of the bill relating to beer and tobacco.
This result was reached after a discus
sion in which practically all the sena-
tors present participated. The conclu-
sion was unanimous that this was the
wise and polite course to pursue. The
talk was based largely upon the propo-
sition to increase the tax upon beer,
which was generally criticised as an ef-
fort to increase the price of THE poor
mans beverage" which was pronounced
wholly unjustifiabe in time of peace
and with $120,OO0,000 of idle money in
the treasury The proposed beer tax
was condemned as a war tax.
The discussion of other features of the
tariff bill was only desultory and no
conclusion beyond that stated was
reached. The sugar schedule was the
subject of frequent remark and there
was discussion of the advisabiity of Of
fering a substitute for Ii, but no con-
clusion TO that effect was arrived at.
IT was made apparent that every DEM
ocratic senator present would probably
vote against il. Senator German urged
the advisability of the introduction or
a substitute for the entire bill and
speech in support OF the proposition,
but it was soon made apparent that the
sentiment of the caucus was almost
unanimous in opposition to this course
and the proposition was not pressed TO
vote. Mr.. German gave only a brief
outline of a substitute. He said ne
thought bill could be prepared which
would levy a revenue duty on tea and
coffee and other articles and increase
the government customs receipts sufIi-
GENTLY to make the Wilson bill salts
factory and thus score point Of i'm
portance.
