HEAVY VOTE CUT AT DULUTH.

If the experience at Duluth under
the new constitutional amendment
providing that only those foreign born
citizens who have taken out their
second papers can vote, should prove
the same throughout tie state, the
vote at the spring elections will be
very light one. The total registra-
tion there for the coming municipal
election is 1892. Last fall for the
general election there was 1927. 1t
codld hardly be expected that the reg
istration for the local election would
reach that of last fall by good many
votes. There was an interest then
that is not often aroused. But a fall
ing off of over one-fourth or One-third
would under ordinary circumstances
have been deemed as something ex-
traordnary. A cut of wo-thirds is cut
ting pretty deep. This would indicate
very light vote at the spring elections
through the state. But before another
general election occurs matters will
doubtless be changed somewhat and
the list of legal voters considerably in
creased, as the great majority of those
entitled to their second papers will
doubtless take them out ere then. 1t
is estimated that over 5000 of those
not registered at Duluth are disfran'
chised by the new amendment.

NO EQUITY IN OFFICE.
Civil Service Orders Have Not the
Force of Law.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Dec. 24.-Judge John
H. Rogers, OF the federal court handed down
an important decision today in case involv-
ing the construction OF the civil service law.
1t was in the case of w. J. Fleming VS.. s. F.
Stahl. Fleming was Office d putty urd ey-
Marshal ]. G.. Crump. Stahl was appointed
by President Mckinley to succeed Crump.
Stahl undertook TO remove Fleming, and the
latter brought suit against Stahl to restrain
him from making the removal alleging in
his bill that the position OF office deputy
United States marshal was by order of Presi-
dent Cleveland placed upon the qualified civil
service list, and that by virtue of such order
all Office deputy marshals were exempt from
removal for political and religious reasons
and were to hold office during good behaviour,
because he was Democrat temporary
straining order was granted by the court at
the time OF the filing of the BILL and up to
this time Fleming and Stotts. the man ap-
pointed by Stahl to succeed him. have both
been at the desk in the office.
The decision today was rendered on a de-
murrer to the bill and a motion to dissolve
the injunction. The court held that It had no
jurisdiction to restrain a removal upon the
facts stated in the bill. In regard to the effect
deputy marshals were placed in the classified
civil service the court said: The civil SER
vice law never contemplated that the prest-
dent or the commission, or both could make
any rule or regulation which could have the
force and effect of law. True, the president
may make rules and regulations adminiStra-
tive in their nature which would govern the
administration, and he could enforce the same
by the removal of any person from office who
refused to abide thereby but they could moi
have the force and effect OF law nor would
the courts enforce them. Such rules and reg
ulations are purely administrative, and mey
be altered, amended or approved by the presi-
dent at any time or by his successor in office"

CANADA CALLED DOWN.
Postmaster General RcbulSed by
Joseph ChamberIain.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 24.-Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies. has administered a
crushing rebuke to the Canadian post
master general. Carried away by the
imperial preferential trade idea, Mr.
Mulock announced on Nov. % that,
after the new year, letters could be
forwarded from the dominion to Eng
land and all parts of the British en-
pire for the Canadian domestic rate
of 3 cents per ounce. the existing i'm
perial rate being cents per half ounce.
Upon the announcement reaching Lon
don. Mr.. Chamberlain communicated
with the governor general here, inform
ing his excellency that her majesty's
government could not allow Canada
to pursue the course indicated by the
postmaster general. He added that,
before any disturbance Of existing pos
tai rates could take place, Great Britain
and the colonies would have to be con-
suited. and to that end a conference
Of imperial and colonial postal author
tiles might be held, but. in the mean
time the scheme would have to be
dropped. Accordingly, this new move
has been suspended, and the govern
ment here has been obliged to give
public notice that the promised reduc-
tion in postal rates will not take place.

result of a conference OF the directors

it is generally believed that the hope
of an eventual settlement on 100 per
cent basis will be realized.

ton of the companies affairs. The
only other embarrassment thus Gar re-
sUlting from the crash was the assign
ment today of the Philadelphia Bind

spent the greater part of the day go
ing over the books of the two COM
panies, but declined to make any state
nlent. 1t is said that the bank has
about 1900 deposit accounts and the
trust company about 1920. State

gagged today, inquiring into the condi-
ton of the state DEPOSIT in the bank

pcsitors in the trust company which

HEAVY HOLIDAY TRADE.
Especially Coed Reports From st.
Paul and Omaha.


NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: Quietness in whole
sale lines, but pronounced and notable
activity in retail trade, have been the
salient features in this weeks trade
situation. Price changes, which are
numerous, are largely in an upward
direction, and the year draws to
close with results as whole 1ully
eaualling, and in many instances sur
passing early expectations. perhaps
the most notable feature has been the
unanimity with which the trade re-
ports from all parts of the country,
with some few exceptions, point to
very heavy holiday trade, in nearly
all cases comparing favorably with
recent preceding years. Reports are
that stocks of these goods. have been
heavily reduced. Particularly promi-
nent in reporting a good retail trade
in the West are Chicago, ST. Louis and
Kansas City. At the South, New Or
leans reports retailers reaping har-
vest. and December trade larger than
Nashville, Savannah and Memphis,
but collections and business would be
larger. were 1t not for the low price
of cotton.
In the Northwest colder weather has
improved the demand for seasonable
goods. and this, combined with the
usual holiday business, has resulted
in a good total with specially good
reports from Milwaukee, st. Paul and
Omaha. At the East, wholesale trade
is quiet and holiday business active.
No Improvement is noted in the cot
ton goods situation, and wage reduc-
lions seem imminent. Good business
has been done in boots and shoes, and
shipments are far ahead Of last year.
Pacific coast retail trade is active, and
Klondike boomers are gathering In the
cities of Washington and Oregon.
Proof that the unsettled condition
of the wheat situation affects the ex-
port business, in that cereal Is fur
nished by the figures of shipments this
week from both coasts Of the United
States and Canada. The total exports
reported to Bradstreet's aggregate
(f1our as wheat 4,757,359 bushels. as
against 1904, coo last week, and $3.50, 900
two weeks ago. They also compare
with exports Of ELL 900 bushels in this
week last year, 3.475,000 In 1895. and
1874 900 in 1894. Indian corn exports
for the week are 4,879,100 bushels,
against 4,129,878 last week. 2,4s6,000 this
week a year ago, and 1885, 900 in 1895.
Commercial failures in the United
States remain about normal. The to-
tai for this week amounts to 280, as
compared with 2s3 in the previous
week, but Is smaller than the total
