tug Mary Ann, from New York, sight
ed the schooner NJ. l.. Bonnet shortly
after 9 o'clock last night in the vicinity

lights burning. At that time there
was no sign of fire. Overhauling her,
the Mary AIMS captain discovered fire
on the schooner's aft. He waited to
see rockets sent up, but no signals
were given. He suddenly detected two
boats putting off across the schooner's
bow In a stealthy manner. Aboard the
beats were chests and other goods
evidently the effects of the captain and
crew. He hailed the boats and asked
if help was needed. The reply he re-
ceived was a warning, accompanied
by an oath; Don't go near her, she is
loaded with cartridges and OIL

PHILADELPHIA. Pa JAN 6.-There was
a happy smile on the face of President Van
der Beck. of the Detroit club, this afternoon
when he took the train for the West. His
former manager George 7. Stallings, had
paved the way for certain negotiations which
Mr.. Van der Beck wished to make with the
Philadelphia club, and it only required
complete certain deals which were hanging
fire between them.
The result of the Detroit magnates visit
to this city was that he gathered In Koner

league clubs last season, and was told that
the services of Barnett and Thomas, whom
the Philies had drafted from Detroit, were
also at his disposal.
Another matter disposed of yesterday was
the release Of Bob Allen, the Phillies' old
captain and shortstop. Allen wrote to the
officials some time ago requesting that he
should be taken off the reserve list with the
privilege of signing with some other club as
he had good offer to play ball again.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives:
You have assembled here as representa-
tves OF the people In the legislative branch
OF their government. You meet at a time
when the citizens Of Minnesota; In common
with those Of other states have for. over three
years been suffering from financial depres-
sion and industrial stagnation.- The markets
for the products OF our farms factories and
mines have been circumscrtbed and as a re-
suit, their prices have greatly deprecated.
Auspicious skies, conspiring with the won
derful fertility or our soil and improving
methods OF agriculture, have, however re-
duced the farmers suffering and loss to a
minimum. The vast deposits of valuable iron
ores within our borders, more cheaply mined
than are like deposits in any other quarter OF
the globe, have, by their increasing output,
fostered our industrial progress. In these
and in other respects, no state in our nation
has been favored during the past three years
to such an extent Minnesota. From 1890
to 1895 our population increased from J. 361-
500 to ,57l, 619. Our resources have Increased
even faster than our population, and the at
ttude of our people in days of adversely has
strengthened our credit at home and abroad:
AT the present time, in those parts of the
state that have adopted a wisely diversified
system OF farming, prosperity prevails and
the Oltlook is most encouraging In no sec
ton have crop failures the plague of insects
blight, frosts and kindred agents, either with
or without the influence Of hard times
brought a want or suffering that calls for
any special state aid at the hands of your
honorable bodies.
In obedience to a constitutional require
ment, hereby submit for your consideration
suggestions relative to the affairs and con-
ditions of the state.

AN AWFUL SORE
"A Babes Untold Suffering
And Mothers Many
SleepIess Nights.
CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS.

herewith write out in full the beginning
and end of that terrible disease, Eczema,
which caused my babe untold suffering and
myself many sleepless nights.
My baby was born seemingly fair, healthy
child, but when she was three weeks old
swelling appeared on the back of her head, and
in course of time broke. Every one called it
boil, and, now it had broken, would soon heal,
but that was only the beginning, of the trouble.
1t did not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of a dime to that of dol
lar. fused all kinds of remedies that could
think of but nothing seemed to help, in fact
it grew worse, her hair fell out where the sore
was and feared it would never grow again.
1t continued until my aged father came on
visit, and when he saw the baby he told me
"to get CUTIoURA SOAP and CUTICURA ONT
ment right away" To please him l did SO,
and to my surprise, by their use the sore be-
gan to heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has nice head of hair, her skin
is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to
recall that awful sore
CUTIoURA soothes and allays all itching and
burning that cause child to fret and the
mother TO worry, and gives rest and comfort
both to parent and child.

State Finances.

statements IN QGtall showing the estimated
receipts and disbursements of the revenue
fund for the next two years are elsewhere
presented. 1t is from this fund that the or
binary expenses of the state are paid. The
estimated receipts are based upon a tax levy
of one and One-half mills the same as that
for the past two years. The estimated re-
ceipts from state taxes are S100,0 900 less than
two years ago. This reduction arises from
the fact that the eQualized assessed value of
the real and personal property of the state
is about Sc, coo, 900 less than it was at that
time.
The accompanying statements of estimated
receipts and expenditures for the fiscal years
1898 and 1899 show a probable excess of
ceipts over disbursements of $407 coo. This
excess is available for; new buildings and 9TH
purposes not included in the accompanying
estimated expenditures. The corresponding
estimated excess of four years ago $685.
600, and for two years ago it was 81 001 900.
This small relative amount of $407, 900 of es-
ttmated excess of receipts over the ordinary
expenditures of the state measures the ex-
IRENE limit of appropriations for new build
1ngs and for kindred purposes that can be met
by tax levy OF one and one-half mills. If,
therefore, the appropriations shown in the
accompanying statement are exceeded by over
$500, 900 annually, it will be necessary to pro-
vide additional income for the revenue fund.
If such additional income is necessary, l rec
ommend that it be sought by methods other
than that of an addition to the tax levy Of
one and one-half mills To increase the tax
levy under the conditions that now prevail
in Minnesota would seem, in my judgment. to
relating to the subject. 1t is to depart from
the modern and judicious tendency in state
taxation, which seeks to lessen the amount of
direct tax levies by deriving increased reve-
nue. from other sources.
In an agricultural community such as
most of states were fifty years ago. near
ly all the wealth is in the hands of private
individuals and Is readily reached by the
assessor and made to bear its just share of
the burdens of government. This is done
by the tax levy. With the development of
modern industries and, all the complicated
financial institutions Of manufacturing and
commercial people, the whole problem of tax
alton is changed. and all the old methods
must be modified or great inequalities and
injustice arise. A reliance solely upon the
old tax levy in a commonwealth such as
ours tends relatively more and more to throw
the burden of state support opon the citizens
with limited resources, and more and more
to exempt the holdings of the rich. To cor
rect the wrong thus arising, all advanced
communities in the new and in the old
world have begun to make an ever-increasing
of new forms of taxation, such as taxes
upon inheritances and corporation taxes and
fees of various kinds. It is upon some one
or more of these modern sources of public
revenue that would urge you to rely. if the
old tax levy of one and one-half mills will
