Just prior to these events Mr.. Tay-

pany with CASTELAR, and others. toasted
peace, warmly protesting his admiration
and love for Spain, and expressing the
desire to see us succeed in the work of
pacification. Shortly after the election
of President Mckinley, when it was
mooted that Mr.. Sherman would be
made secretary of state, I asked Mr.
Taylor If Spain would not have reason
to fear a man who in a speech in the
senate had displayed such hatred of
Spain. Mr.. Taylor replied: Don't notice
that. for Sherman as a responsible min
lister will change his opinions. Spain has
nothing to fear in this respect" In
conclusion Senator Salvani says: These
ideas and sentiments differ greatly from
those attributed to him now"

Yesterday in q little letter which he
dispatched to County Auditor D. M.

his signature to an approval Of the
application made some few days ago
by sixty odd st. Paul property holders
for an abatement of 20 per cent in
crease in the assessed valuation Of
their property. amounting in round
numbers to $4,000 in taxes.
The details of this case have been
published at some length in the

he very reluctantly approves the ap-
plication for the abatement Of the
assessments and does so only for the
reason that they appear to be well
founded. Following is the letter in
full:

TO STOP FORECLOSURE SALE.
Judge Kelly Signs a Temporary Re-
straininE Order.


straining Order.
Judge Kelly signed an order yesterday
requiring Harriet E. Porter and Frank
H. Hamlin, as administrators, with
the will annexed, of the estate Of H.
Kendall, DECEASED and Sheriff Wagner
to show cause why they should not be
perpetually enjoined from selling lot
10, block 70, st. Anthony Park addi-
tion in foreclosure proceedings. The
order is returnable at special term
next Saturday.
It was signed on the application Of
Wyllys Hodges in an equity suit filed
in his behalf against the parties named.
The complaint alleges that the mort
gage was fully paid and satisfied over
three years ago, but that the defend
ants have refused to satisfy the mort
gage Of record and have begun foreclos-
ure proceedings, claiming that $3,118. IS
are due.
The facts as alleged in the complaint
are. that in August, 1891, the st. An
thony Park company gave H. Kendall
Of Ontario county, N. Y, a mortgage e
on the premises in question to secure
loan to the company of $4,000. The fol-
lowing May the ST. Anthony Park
company decided half interest in said
premises to Everett P. Wheeler, as
trustee for Caroline K. Hodges, and in
January, 1898, the company decided the
remaining half interest to Wheeler, as
trustee, for the same person. On Sept.
9, 1892, Mr.. Kendall died, leaving a will,
naming Sophronia Luce Kendall and
Oliver D. Eaton as executors.
The complaint further alleges that in
May, 1893, Everett P. Wheeler paid to
the executors named the sum Of $2,410
in full payment of the mortgage and
note Of the st. Anthony Park company.
Since said payment the interest of E. p.
Wheeler, as trustee for Caroline
Hodges, has been conveyed to the
plaintiff, who is now in possession Of
the premises.
The plaintiff alleges that the execu-
tors and defendant administrators have
refused to satisfy the mortgage Of rec
ord, though requested to do so, that the
defendants have begun foreclosure pro-
ceedings by advertisement, announcing
that the premises will be sold by the
sheriff at public auction on May 26
at 10 a. m. A perpetual injunction re-
straining such sale is asked for, as
well as the judgment of the court de
claring the mortgage satisfied.

State Auditor Figures Against Pres
dent Mason's Position.


dent Mason's Position.
State Auditor Dunn was yesterday
shown the reply of Senator Wyman TO
ident Mason, Of the hospital board OF
trustees, upon being asked who was
right in the controversy said:
Senator Wyman is right, and the ngures
in this Office will show it. The fact is thas
most of the state institutions, II not all OF
them, are too expensive. No matter what
their appropriation may be-. they seem TO
spend it all. If you give them $lOOooo II VIII
be all spent at the end d OF IT, the nscA year al:
II you, give them but $4,000, they will get
along very nicely with that Now the expenses
of the bills for the. maintenance, Just the
maintenance Of these hospitals, aggregate
one-ffth of the total expenditures OF the s!aee e
for all purposes, and it amounts to 1ust
about half the sum expended upon all OF the
state institutions combined. That looks very
much like extravaganza. .si.5-e-i -
The reply to Mr. Mason by Senator
Wyman. is rather lengthy, much space
being given to a, denial to the rather
sarcastic statements by Mr.. Mason tfnat
the Hennepin senator was politically
ambitious and playing to the galleries
and that sort Of thing. Getting down
to a reply on the hospital matter Mr..
Wyman has to say:
misunderstanding the board, that the gen.
eral appropriation bill was made up ana
unanimously recommended by committee
consisting of three members Of the senate
and five members of the house, making a
Joint committee of eight, of which had the
honor to be chairman. 1t was then passed
ON by the senate france committee and the
house appropriations committee IN joint as
sembly. These committees consisted OF elev-
en- senators and seventeen representatives,
making a totals of twenty -eightpersons. and
was recommended to be passed with but one
dissenting vote. The bill was then introduced
and printed and laid upon the desk OF each
senator and representative for personal con-
sideration and then,- after full discussion,
passed each house by nearly unantmous
vote and without amendment except such
corrections as were suggested by the COM
mittee formulating the bill; and l may say
that the committee formulating the bill were
in constant consultation with Secretary Hart,
of the board of corrections and charities.
Therefore the board of trustees could not
have been very much misled as to the con-
tents of the bill especially so as the hospitals
had interested members on the committees
and on the floor of each house. If a mild sug
eestion of economy on my part is to drive
the chairman of the board Of trustees of the
hospitals for the insane into violent person.
alities toward thei chairman of the senate
finance committee and Joint committee pre-
pairing the bill, 1t would indicate that such
suggestions touched the chairman Of the
board in a tender spot, or else he does him
self an injustice 1 will insit that, with prop
er economy, the general appropriation bill
conveyed abundant means for the proper care
