| correspondent learns after midnight on
very nearly the highest authority that
all such statements are without foun-
dation at present.
In connection with the very grave
| doubts expressed about any meeting
being held before September it may be
noted that Mr.. Balfour and the rest of
the British Government are firmly of
the opinion that it would harm rather
than help any practical effort to settle
the monetary question if any offer were
to be made by Great Britain before
effectual negotiations privately con-
Quoted had proved that England,
France, Germany and the United
States were prepared to agree upon
steps to effectively remonetize silver
and maintain a par of exchange. 1t is
to hold any official conferences with
anybody until pretty nearly a final
agreement has been reached.
The French and United States Gov
ernments have informed the British
Government what they will do if Eng
land and Germany will take certain
specified steps. If the British Govern
ment should accept this offer the ac-
ceptance must be conditional upon Ger
many's agreement. Germany will not
be approached until it is found what
England will agree to, and much time
must elapse before a formal conference
is possible. Should Germany tacitly
agree to the position agreed upon by
the three other countries, then such a
meeting as has been predicted for next
week might be held.
The progress Of negotiations now go
ing on in London is being kept pro-
found1y secret. but it is said that Eng
land is prepared to make few minor
concessions. London takes Senator
Wo1cott and his bimetallic colleagues
more seriously than Paris did

. His Opinion Changed.

There was a little trouble at a GER
tain club house in the city Tuesday
night. Some of the members were
making little too much noise to suit
certain resident of the neighborhood
and a telephone message at the police
station was the result. Lieut.. Holi was
sent up and, as was the right of police
officer walked into the place. The
noise was still in progress when Holt
got to the steps. He was met at the
door by a short man who told him to
take off his hat Holi did not think
it was necessary just then but when
he was asked to walk in, naturally, he
removed his hat The man who first
met him, claimed that he had no right
to walk into the place without a war
rant but he changed his mind when he
appeared before the Deputy Marshal
yesterday morning. The law regarding
any loud noises during the night and
the right of any police officer to walk
in without warrant, was read in good
plain English. Eyes, sir, / see it all
now," was the answer. The police
officer was perfectly right and acted
like a gentleman.

MORE BASE BALL.
Landsmen and Sailors to Have
Return Game.

Return Game.
whack at the, landsmen on the ball
| field tomorrow afternoon, confidently
| believing that they will win again.
| The opinion Of some who saw the last
game is that the sailors will lose.
1t will be remembered that at the
last game there was considerable wa
ter mixed with the soil, and as the
sailor men are used to the water, 1t
was not hard matter for them to win.
With the town boys, ii is different;
they are out for dust, and there was
none to be had. They ran bases like a
snail with salt sprinkled over him.
True enough, the town boys had all the
ladies in the stand roofing for them,
but it was no use-the water was
against them.
The weather prophets promise clear
weather and trade winds. This will
help the boys on shore, and as an
Offset, the officers of the navy will Sc
cure the services of all the society la
dies to shout for them by giving them
tickets of admission-to sell at 25 cents
each.
The Flagship Band will be present
before the game and will render Sc
lections which will be enjoyed by the
large audience that is sure to be there.
The game will be solely for the benefit
of tn Strangers Friend Society, most
worthy object, and the boys have all
promised to do their best to make
those who attend feel that they have
had their moneys worth.
There is no doubt the game will be
even more amusing than last time, for
the boys will try to play ball. and moth
ing can be funnier than a man trying
to do something that he knows moth
ing about.

cast for the ensuing year gives esti-
mated revenue f3,671 900 pounds, and

Undervaluation.

As readers of this paper know, during
the last twelve monies and particularly
just before the new tariff took effect,
stockbuyers for the st. Paul markets
bought and imported large quantity of
cattle from Manitoba. The duty then,
though not as high as at present, was
quite an item. 1t was calculated on the
value of the cattle as bought, and the inn
porter had to swear to the price paid.
Somehow the customs authorities got it
into their heads the prices sworn to by
some Of the shippers were very low, and
particularly SO when compared with prices
paid by other shippers who bought in the
same localities. Alittle quiet investipa-
ton on the other side of the line among
the farmers. showed big shrinkage in
the prices paid them and the ad valorem
price given at the custom house on which
the duties were figured.
Special agent3F oresman who has been
around there for three or four weeks
went to Grand Forks and Crookston
in search of one OF these cattle men
named John Stewart. But somehow Mr..
Stewart had about that time started north
ward On pony. A telegram was sent
to the Office here and on Monday inspec-
tor O'Grady Of the St. Vincent Office
went out east about Is miles and was
keeping his eyes open. About fourteen
miles from the line he saw stranger ON
a slow going pony and arrested him. It
was the man wanted, and he was brought
to Pembina and placed in jail here until
Wednesday when U. S. marshal Hennes-
sey came and took him to Grand Forks.
