that the book vigorously attacks the kaiser's
great grandfather, King Frederick William
III, for being so utterly smashed by Napo-
leon at Jena, it speaks well for the young
sovereign's amability or friendly feeling
for his old school companion, that the kaiser

LONDON, Jan. 23.-From the general tone
of the continental press, it is evident Eu
rope looks askance at the Anglo American
arbitration treaty, and seems to fear al
| Anglo-American alliance. The MARQUIS Of
Sal!sbury's dig at Prince Bismarck in hir
speech in the house of lords on last Tuesday
appears to have touched sore point in Ger,
many The premier said. referring to the
arbitration treaty II don't say it will re
move the greatest risks Of war. | do moi
say it will restrain Napoleon or a Bis,
marck."
The North German Gazette, commenting
upon the reference to Prince Bismarck, re-
fers to the arbitration treaty as "a treaty
to prevent quarrels over trivial details" and
repudiates the comparison of Napoleon with
Prince Bismarck, wherein the North German
Gazette sees another illustration of British
Industrial and commercial jealousy"
The Kreuse Zeitung says the Marquis OF
Salisbury, instead of mentioning the names
OF two powerful personages, would have
done better to have openly admitted that
such treaties are of little use, "slnce they
volving vital national interests"
A singular lawsuit between the rival pre-
tenders to the throne of France was resumed
this week before the civil tribunal of Paris.
The Duke of Anjou is suing the present
Duke of Orleans for using the royal arms of
France on the ground that the Duke of
Anjou is tho rghtful heir to the throne as
he is the descendant of Louis XIV. Counsel
for the Duke Of Anjou has asked that the
Duke of Orleans be compelled TO pay the
sum of 1000 francs for each day he con-
tinues to use the royal arms of France.
The procuereur de la republique proposed
the rejection of the suit, declaring that 1t
was curious to find the plaintif asking a
republican court to confer upon him the title
OF king of France, To still further compli-
cate matters, counsel appeared for Don
Carlos, head of the Spanish branch of the
Bourbon family and pretender to the throne
of Spain, claiming for his client the right
to bear the royal arms of France. Judg-
ment will be rendered next week
All the newspapers congratulate the
Marquis of Salisbury on his diplomatic tri-
umph, as shown by the publication on Tues
day last OF the official correspondence be-
tween Great Britain and Russia, which
brought about the agreement OF the czar to
the proposal of the Marquis of Salisbury
that the ambassadors of the powers at Con-
stantinople should formulate reforms for the
Turkish empire which should be enforced
by the powers should the sultan prove re-
calcitTant, to which France consented later
after Germany Austria and Italy had pre-
viously given their consent. There is a
general feeling that the concert OF Europe
for coercion is nearer realization than ever
before.

SERVE AND THE STATE DEPoSlToRIES
RKlNG OF THE LAW IN THE PAST

LINCOLN, Jan. 2S.-(Specal.) 1.-THE most
interesting feature of the new administra-
| tion of the state government is >the settle
ment between eX-Treasurer BARLEY and
State Treasurer Meserve And yet the pub
lie has had but little insight into the work
| ings OF the transfer. The governor and the
treasurer have preserved dignifed ret
| icence in regard to the matter. Treasurer
Meserve's invariable reply is that the set
tlement is being made in cash and that no
certificates of deposit or other evidences
of Indebtedness are being accepted. Cash
is being turned into the treasury every day.
but neither the treasurer nor his prede-
cessor will say how much.
The new treasurer has refused to accept
certificates for the state funds in the de-
pository banks, leaving the matter open
until the supreme court decides the question
to be submitted 1t on the first Tuesday in
February; but while refusing to accept cer-
tihcatos Treasurer Meserve has intimated to
the depository banks that he will receipt
for any amount of cash they may wish TO
turn in on account
As soon as he had taken possession of
his office State Treasurer Meserve addressed
a letter to the officials of all the solvent
depository banks defining his position ami
requesting them to turn their holdings OF
state funds back into the state treasury
soon as possible He stated further that IL
any of the banks wished to continue as state
repositories they might do so, but that he
preferred them to furnish a new bond.
Many of the depository banks are adopting
the treasurer's suggestion and are forward
ing their holdings to the state treasury,
some of them in bulk and others in INSTALL
ments Two banks have furnished new
bonds.
DEALING WITH DEPOSITORIES.
II will be Treasurer Meseryes policy to
secure new bonds from all state repositories.
He does not wish to be understood as ques-
tioning the security but he thinks 1t will
be better for all parties interested that the
depository law be enforced in spirit as well
as in letter. Many of the depository bonds
now on file with the auditor date back to
tha first year of Governor Crounsc's admin
istration, in 1898, while still many more
date back to the second year OF Governor
Crounses term. The following statement
shows the depository banks approved by
Governor Crounse and his associates, At
torney General Hastings and Secretary Of
State Allen. Included in the list is the
amount of state funds held by each bank
at the end of the fiscal year, November 80.

AN OBJECTION WELL TAKEN.

No man whose judgment has not
been obscured by jingOism or blind par
ty spirit can fail to admit the validity
Of the objection advanced by Japan to
the annexation of Hawaii. The pro-
test is one upon which, if we were in
her place, We would insist to the point
Of backing it by arms, if necessary.
Coming as it does from an inferior to
a superior power, it demands consid-
Grafton. There are from $4,000 to 10000
Japanese in the Sandwich islands,
They went there under treaty arrange
ments between the two governments,
which guaranteed to them ample rights.
If Hawaii is incorporated with the
United States, those rights are abolish
ed, the future immigration of Japanese
would be prevented and those already
in the islands would be shut out from
the privileges of citizenship. Thus the
annexation project proposes a direct
personal injury to the Japanese in
Hawaii, and any government would be
strangely derelict which did not resist
such an injustice to so large a number
Of it's people. The reason why we must
give due weight to this remonstrance
is not because we are afraid CT Japan,
for we are not; and not because her
consent is in any way necessary to our
action in foreign fields, for it is not;
but because the treaty, as drawn up,
does justice violence and Injuries a
friendly power without reason or justi
fication.
We observe, in this connection, that
the Washington correspondents are
working the old racket, of a pretended
desire on the part Of some one else
to obtain possession Of Hawaii, for all
that it is worth. Little more than four
years ago it was Great Britain that
was going to gobble the Sandwich
islands. That was President Harrison's
excuse for his summary action. Great
Britain was ready to annex Hawaii,
under the pretext of desiring a station
for Pacific cable; and, after having
fortified it, was going to dominate the
western ocean and endanger the
safety Of our commerce. We re-
member well how this raw-head
and bloody-bone argument was
paraded before the people to lessen
their resentment against the interior
ence Of this country in Hawaiian af-
fairs. We learned afterward. what ev-

near Seventh street, made talk in
favor of the street. being repaved, de-
spite the objections of the property
owners. Two years ago, he said. the
property owners made the same kind
of talk and promised to have the i'm
provement made in 1895. All of the
owners, he said, were rich persons and
could well afford to pay for the paw
ing. If the street was not to be paved
this year, then the wooden blocks,
which now made the street impossible
for teams, should be torn up and those
who desired to drive on the thorough
fare given chance to do So 1t was a
case, he said, Of the tenants against
the property owners, and the latter
would put off the paving another five
years if they could so arrange it.
Assistant City Attorney Phillips
thought if the paving was to be paid
from the general fund instead of as
seSsIng the abutting property, there
would be a general cry for the street
to be paved at once. Mr.. Reardon
thought the property owners should not
be forced to pay for the paving while
times were so hard. Assistant City At
torney Phillips explained to the COM
mittee that the board of public works
had not made the correct kind of
report, and the order will be sent back
to have this rectified. After this is
done it is the intention Of the assembly
to order the street paved, notWitn-
standing the adverse report of the
board of public works and the objec-
tons of the property owners.
The corporation attorney was direct
ed to draw up resolutions providing
for the construction Of cycle paths on
the following streets: Hastings avenue
from Bates to Earl; Sixth street from
the east end Of the bridge to Eichen-
valid street; Bradley street from
Seventh to Collins street; Minnehaha
street from Payne avenue to Seventh
street. The expense was estimated by
Assemblyman Thompson at $3.50 AS
Semblyman Dix also instructed the cor
pOration attorney to draft a resolution
for a cycle path from the end of the
Robert street railroad bridge to Con-
cord street, and on Concord street to
the city limits. BY making the path
between the street car tracks, Mr.. Dix
thought the path could be constructed
for about $50. When this was COM
pleted it would connect with the path
which had been built by private sub
scriptions from the city limits to Inver
Grove.
The committee took another whirl
at the franchise for the Mississippi
Valley Telephone company, but the
measure will not be pushed until after
the company has been granted a
franchise at Minneapolis.

DEATH OF LIEUT.. MORGAN.
Former Member of Police Force
Dies Very Suddenly.

Ex-Lieut. I. D. Morgan, of the local po-
lice department. a pioneer resident of st.
Paul, dropped dead in the rear of his home,
$40 Banfl street, shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Heart disease was the
cause of DEATH Deputy Coroner L. a. Mel
son viewed the remains and decided an in
quest unnecessary.
The death of Mr.. Morgan was without
warning. Though seventy years of age, he
was hale and active, being at the time of his
death engaged in repairing porch of a
small house fronting on Ann street, in the
rear of his home Something over a year
ago, however, Mr.. Morgan i'll and con-
suited DR.. Stamm who discovered him 10 be
suffering from heart affection, though he
has since manifested no signs Of the disease.
He had been at work on the porch for
couple of hours yesterday afternoon, when
he was seen to fall heavily to the sidewalk.
1t at first thought that he had simply
fallen into a fit or had been exhausted by
the heat, and he was picked up and carried
into his house. There were no signs of life,
however. and though physicians were sum-
moned, death avs undoubtedly instantaneous.
The deceased leaves a wife and a married
daughter, Mrs. NJ. D. Rogers, of Los Angeles,
Cal.
Ex-Lieut Morgan came to St. Paul from
Downingtown, Pa, in 1854. He served during
the late civil war in the Sixth Minnesota
volunteers infantry, and was in 1866 appoint
ed member of the police force. He was
promoted to ieutenancy March "a, 1885,
which position he held until his retirement
on the pension list July IL, 1898, by Mayor
Wright.
Mr.. Morgan had lived at his late home on
Banfil street for nearly forty years, owning
the property and a house on the rear of the
lot facing Ann street. For fourteen years
he has lived by himself, employing a house
keeper to look after his home. During this
time Mrs. Morgan has resided with her mar
ried daughter in Los Angeles. Deceased was
a member of Acker post. G. A. R., and
local lodge of Odd Fellows. He was consid-
cred to be we'll to do financially, and is known
to a large circle of friends who will mourn
his sudden DEATH Mrs. Morgan and her
daughter were appraised of eX-Lieut. Morgan's
death last evening. The funeral arrange
ments will not be made until the arrival of
some member of the deceaseds family, al
though taken in hand by the lodge of Odd
Fellows OF which he was a member.
