OTHERS NOT RELEASED.
Judgment Against Some stockho1d-
ers Does Not Affect the Rest.

In an opinion written by Chief JUS
tice Start, the supreme court yesterday
handed down decision in the case Of
j. A. Hanson against S. T. DAWSON
which interprets the statute relating
to the liability of stockholders.
The contention in this action that a
single suit brought by a creditor CT
an -insolvent institution against any
one Of the stockholders in event of
judgment released the other stock
holders is not substantiated by the
supreme court.
Judge Start says that because judg-
ment is entered for the amount of
claim against any one of the stock
holders that does not exempt the rest
of the stockholders from any further
liability, and every stockholder must
stand his portion Of the concerns
debts yet the obligation is not penal
ly contractural. The syllabus is as fol-

States consular reports, and thus in part
refute the assertion mada in an article from
New York. published in your issue of the
21st inst, stating that the Spanish officials

will go on, until it overwhelms the Cuba
junta and it's aiders and abettors in their

DAMAGED BY HAIL AND RUST.
Though the Crop Promises to Be
an Excellent Cne.

The weekly crop bulletin for the week end
ing Monday, July 25, as follows:
The temperatures have been high, except
on the Goth and 2lst. The morning Of tie
goth was coo.. with frosts reported in the
northern counties, though they were not Sc
we're enough to cause injury. There have
been fairy vel distributed and moderate
showers in the Middle West, and in the south
eastern part of the state occurring for the
most part On the 22d and 23d In other Sec
tions rain is needed for corn potatoes and
pastures. High winds on the 18TH mainly
in the southern tier of countless caused dam
age to small areas of standing grain grain
shocks, haystacks and buildings. Hail is re-
ported in MARSHAL and Mower counties, with
some injury resulting. The first spring wheat
was cut On the 18th and since then consid-
able has been put in shock; harvest will be
general on the 25th al over the southern
third of the state.
In the Red river valley the wheat heads are
filing well. and harvest is expected about
reported in many places, but the area so
affected is probably small compared with the
total acreage. Winter wheat. rye and barley
are nearly all in shock, and threshing has
begun. with good yields. Oats have ripened
very rapidly, and though the crop will prob
ably be lessened in consequence, still large
yield is expected. Corn is growing very
rapidly; it is generally silking. Early flax
is ripening a fine crop in the South and
further north the prospects are coed.
Early potatoes are good crop in most sec
tions. and they are ripening nicely. Though
haying has been interrupted by the rayid
ripening of the grains, large crop of splen-
did hay has been secured.

LIVE STOCK SHIPMENTS.
Season for Handling Range Cattle
Starts Satisfactorily.

The range live stock shipping season
has started this year in a manner very
satisfactory to the railways. General
Freight Agent S. L. Moore, of the
Northern Pacific, yesterday, said the
Northern Pacific had brought several
trainicads of sheep and cattle to the
market.
''The heavy run," said Mr.. Moore,
will be late this season, and there will
be only struggling trainloads until mid
August. This is due to the cattle being
soft, which is caused by the unusual
amount Of moisture on the ranges. 1t
hes kept the grass green and has not
allowed it to cure. The result is that
cattle fed on the green grass shrink be-
tween the ranges and the market, in
tTSnSpOrta ton, and do not hold Their
weight, While cattle fed on cured grass
do not lGse weight in transit and are
more satisfactory.
"The fruit season." continued Mr.
Moore, ''has also been inaugurated We
brought 3,500,000 pounds of strawber-
ries by freight this season and an I'M
nense quantity of cherries. We are
now shipping sugar plums and apricots.
These are coming from Washington
and Oregon. Owing to the shortage of
such fruit in California this year the
market will have 10 depend Largely
upon Washington and oregon for fruit.
The Washington crops this year have
been somewhat affected by frost and
Grouth, and consequently are not as
large as was expected"

LUXURY IN A HOUSE BOAT.
Clinton, Iowa, Tourists Visit ST. Paul
in Regal Appointments.

Very few people, in the bustling car
nival preparations, have noticed the
presence at the foot of Wacouta street
where they tied up last Monday, Of a
house boat and, tender, the Idler and
Wanderer respectively. And few peo-
pie, if they had noticed them, would
have taken the Idler for house boat
TO all outward appearances it is a.
large, new river boat, with the eXcep-
tion of the lack of smotestacks, and
not every landlubber would notice that
deficiency.
But there they are, All they deserve
more than passing comment, for never
has this part of the river seen their
equals. They were both built last win
ter at cost Of over $4,000 by their
for pleasure trips like the present. Ev-
erything that Yankee ingenuity has
devised for the comfort Of suffering flu-
manity has been lavishly used in pre-
pairing these vessels
The Idler is fitted with plants for
electric lighting and steam heating
There are salons and promenade decks,
state rooms and dining hall, with COM
plete service-everything a well equip
ped boat should have. All the furni-
ture and finishings. while llomelil1e, are
such that they make the home conf
parable to palace.
A crew Of ten men, under Capt. II. c..
Fuller, is always maintained on the
two boats; for there is as much to DO
as on the larger river steamers.
The Wanderer arrived from Clinton,
Iowa, last Monday, July %, With the
Idler in tow, having made a very pleas
ant run. The party on board the Idler
for the present trip consists Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lafayette Lamb, CT Clinton, Iowa :
Mr.. and Mrs. Bingham, IF Chicago, and
Miss Mccullough, of Brainerd, MINI.
The initial trip of the boats was last
April, when they made the excursion
to st. Paul. AS they draw only from
two to three feet of water, they can
come UP to st. Paul at almost any
time, and probably will be frequent
visitors in time to come. However, this
is probably their last run UP here this
year, as Mr.. and Mrs. Lamb are PLAN
ming an extensive trip to the South for
next fall. Probably they will go as far
down as New Orleans, but that has not
been fully determined as yet.
The Idler, Wanderer and party will
leave Thursday morning for the return
to Clinton. All on board are sorry not
to remain to the capitol corner stone
carnival, but business engagements
render the departure necessary.

ADVANCE IN FARMING.
Statistfcian Powers Credits 1t With
Reducing Mortgage Foreclosures.

Reducing Mortgage Foreclosures.
Labor Commissioner Powers yester-
day completed his report on foreclos-
ures of mortgages in Minnesota, giving
figures for twenty-three of the oldest
farming counties in the state
In these twenty-three counties the
largest maximum of foreclosures was
reached in 1881, and the minimum was
reached In 1896. During the interven-
ing period there was a steady decrease
in the foreclosures of farm property.
In 1880 and 1881 the number of instru-
ments foreclosed was 1,499, representing
in value S1.S72,31, covering an acreage
Of 172,2S7 acres. In 1896 and 1897 that
number was reduced to 357 mortgages
representing $464,1SS, covering 35,321
acres of farm property, just one fourth
the figures Of eighteen years ago.
The maximum foreclosures recorded
on town lots property was reached in
1880, and the minimum reached in 1892
the year before the panic.
In 1892 mortgages on this class of
property representing 1901 ,050 were
foreclosed, and in 1897 the figures were
reduced to s!92.56
Mr.. Powers states that the interrupt
ed decline in the number of farm mort
cages foreclosed during the last
eighteen years Is the immediate result
Of an advanced system of farming
adopted in Minnesota.
AS compared with the table Of fore
closures on city property. completed by
the department few days ago. Mr..
Powers says that the country has
long ways the best of 1t, as the fore
closures in each Of the cities were near
Iy double those recorded in the coun-
ties included in the above schedule.

Gan Humble and a Contrite Heart"

For weeks persistent rumors have
arisen and spread and been denied only
to rise again. that Spain WAS looking
for some avenue that led to peace.
Following close upon the landing Of
Miles expedition upon the shore Of
Puerto Rico comes the announcement,
with every earmark Of authenticity,
that the French ambassador at Wash.
ington has presented to the president
a request from the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs that negotiations
looking towards the close Of hostilities
be entered upon. There Is extraneous
support for this statement in the con-
duct of the campaigns on the part Of
the Spanish. Sagasta accepted from
the outset-as shown in the interview
in which he expressed his hopelessness
of the contest-the declaration Of con-
gress that Spain must evacuate Cuba
and Cuban waters as the ultimate out
come. The defense Of Santiago, its
surrender without the struggle Of
final assault, the maneuvering Of Span
ish fleets and now the proposal for
terms Immediately upon our occupation
of Puerto Rico, all tend to indicate that
Spain considers the inevitable moment
has arrived.
The terms Of peace cannot depart
from the declaration with which we
iraugurated hostilities. Cuba must be
evacuated. Puerto Rico's evacuation
fellows. necessarily. The Philippines
present more difficult problem. There
will be strong opposition to leaving
the islands in Spatn's possession, and
there are strong reasons against re-
quiring their surrender to us. The

TAXES IN MONTANA.
Railway Officials Appear Before the
hoard of Equalization.

Tax Commissioners Fernald, of the
Northern Pacific, and Wilkinson, of
the Great Northern, have gone to
Helena to attend the hearing before
the Montana board of equalization in
regard to the railway assessments for
the ensuing year. The board has fixed
Saturday as the day for hearing the
railways in the matter.
The railway officials do not expect
that the board will make any change
In the railway assessments this year
1t was raised a year ago to an aver
age valuation of $500 per mile and
1T is believed the rate will remain the
same this year. The roads do not
think it would be fair to increase the
assessment, and the board has not
evinced a desire to alter it. So the
tax commissioners expect to get
through with their business in Montana
very quickly.
But on their way back they will stop
at Fargo and hold an argument with
the North Dakota board Of equaliza-
tion, which has threatened to increase
the railway assessment to $1,000 or
$4,000 per mile. The Republican plat
form, which was recently adopted
there, calls for such an increase, and
Gov. G1dggs has publicly promised to
exert his influence in that direction.
The railways feel they are paying
enough, and they will resist an attempt
to raise their assessments.

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.
BUFFALO MEETING TO SETTLE
FLOUR TRAFFIC
Eastern Lines Refuse to Accept the
Committees Figures, md west
ern Lines Refuse to Rescind
Their Order A Satisfactory
Agreement Reached by Great
Northern and It's Employees.

Representatives Of all roads East and
West, interested in the -four traffic, will
hold a meeting in Buffalo Friday and
make an attempt to adjust the -four
rates so that everybody will be salts
fed. The Eastern lines refuse to accept
the rates recently adopted by the flour
committee in Minneapolis and the
Western lines, do not want to rescind
their action. At the same time it is
recognized that the Eastern lines have
a right to a word in the matter, and
also that If they choose they may make
trouble for the Western lines. If it
comes to a show Of strength the East
ern lines will be found to hold the win
ming hand. They want the rates re-
stored to the 20H basis, which was
abandoned by the flour committee.
The prospects now are that the East
ern lines will carry their point, and
that the rates will be put back. But
the Western lines want an understand
ing that the Eastern lines will live up
to their agreement in the matter and
Will not cut under that rate. If the
Eastern lines will guarantee to main
tain the rates the Western lines will
yield.
The Eastern lines believe the rate
may be raised at this time, but the
Western lines do not agre with them
At the same time it is quite probable
that the rates will go up to 22h cents
about the 1st of September, when the
flour situation promises to warrant an
increase.

question Of indemnity can hardly arise
for serious consideration. Spain will be
virtually bankrupt at the close and
could offer no security for the payment
of an indemnity. Nor will the subse-
quent disposition of Cuba or Puerto
Rico. or Of the Philippines, If Spain
is compelled to give them UP, enter into
the negotiations. That Is question
for the United States to settle at it's
leisure. Whether it results in protec-
torates or in appropriation and an
nexation is not a question to be dis
cussed in considering the terms Of
peace. The war is virtually over. The
results Of the war will remain to be
dealt with hereafter.
