this causes a reduction in prices. But
all this does not really affect the value
of the properties which are represented
by those securities, as for instance, the
securities of the Northern Pacific. They
are worth just as much today as they
were three weeks ago. Their value rep
resents the earning capacity of the
road and this would not be affected by
any action of the government looking
to the declaration of war between the
United States and Spain. Sentiment
plays an important part in the creation
of values
Mr.. Mellen was asked in regard to
the transportation of wheat over his
lire. He replied:
There is practically no wheat back
on our line. The high prices have
brought it all out. There Is a conges-
tion in the extreme Northwest owing to
the fact that the wheat intended for
shipment to Asiatic points has not been
withdrawn because of the lack of yes
sci room 10 provide for its transporta-
ton. All this wheat of that section
does not come into the Eastern market,
however; 1t Is a proportion which be-
longs exclusively to the traffic from
Pacific coast points.
About the only disturbing condition
in our business is this cut of rates in
connection with the Klondike business
by the Canadian Pacific" continued
Mr.. Mellen. There does not seem to
be any ground for reason in it and 1t
ought not to have occurred
Mr. MeIlen was indisposed to speak Of
the acquisitions made of roads in the
extreme Northwest by his system, dur
ing his absence. In response to queS-
ton on this point he said:
These roads that have been taken in
are simply parts of the old Northern
Pacific system which have dropped out
from time to time from one cause or
another, and which under the reorgan-
ization, are brought back into the gen.
eral union. This applies to everything
except possibly the Montana Union, of
which the company owned one half and
other people the other half and the
company simply bought the other
half"
Mr. Mellen added as sort Of a sup
plement to the general conversation,
that he didn't know any better security
to deal in than bonds and stocks of the
Northern Pacific and other companies
providing larger safety for those who
wanted to put their money IN some
quarter where 1t would not be disturbed
by conflicts with the Old countries, as,
for instance, in the condition of pos
sible state of war with Spain.
Mr.. Mellen will leave on Saturday
morning for the Pacific coast. 1t is
questionable whether he will reach the
salt waters of the West inasmuch as he
is obliged to return shortly to New
York.
st. Paul people have had little oppor-
tunity to meet Mr.. Mellen because his
stays here from time to time have been
so brief He has been a very busy man
since his induction to office, and his
work appears TO be counting for con-
siderable in value to st. Paul.

REGRETS THE RATE WAR
PRESIDENT HELLEN SAYS THERE'S
NO REASON IN 1T
Is Really the Only Disturbing Con-
ditiOn in the Northern Pacific's
Business-He Says IA War With
Spain Would Advance the Market
Value of His Roads Securities.

c. S Mellen, president of the North
ern Pacific Railway company, returned
to this city yesterday morning after an
absence of about seven weeks in the
East. Mr. Mellen said yesterday in re-
gard to affairs connected with his COM
p2ny that everything was in an eX-
tremely satisfactory condition.
In regard to the business situation in
the East, he said that the situation be-
tween this country and Spain over the
matter of Cuba was the only disturbing
feature. This disturbance produced its
effect upon the stock market. natural
ly, and yet while there was a DISPOSE
tion to seek the very best securities
there was an inclination to favor those
of the Northwest Mr. Mellen held
that tnasmuch as a war with Spain
would have no other effect upon the
securities of his road than to advance
them in market value there was
nothing to fear in that direction He
said that those who were investing
money in Wall street and other fnan-
cial centerS were anxious to secure the
best and were naturally disturbed by
suggestions of war. Everything In the
way of inland security commanded its
full price and value.
Mr.. Mellen deprecated, very strongly,
the cut in the klondike business which
was inaugurated few days ago by the
Canadian Pacific Railway company. He
said that this was a comparatively
small matter so far as the Northern
Pacific railway was concerned, but he
regretted there should be a loss of
revenues by any of the roads leading
to the initial points of departure by
travellers TO the Alaskan fields. He
said, also, that so far as the merchan-
disc traffic was concerned, the Northern
Pacific had nothing to complain of in
the way of distribution.
Il think" he said business is better
out here in the West than it is in the
extreme East. The conditions a-e much
more favorable. The return of prosper
tty is felt very much more strongly
here than there. The Northwest is doing
much better than any other section of
the country.
In the extreme Eastern states the
predominating sentiment is in the
nature of apprehension of war with
Spain as the result of the complication
over the Cuban matter. This creates
a feeling of uncertainty, especially
among those who have securities in
hand. Some are induced to sell and

Explosion Theory.

The view Of the naval officers was
that Capt. Sampson and his associates
were giving this advice, not as a court
but as officers in a position to speak as
to the best methods to be adopted for
wrecking the Maine. Various intrepre-
tations were put on the expression:
Forward half completely destroyed .
This was regarded as a partial con-
firmation of the theory that the for
ward magazine had exploded, as that is
one Of the most important portions OF
the forward half of the ship.
At the same time it was neld by some
naval authorities that the destruction
of the forward half of the ship did not
necessarily mean that the forward
magazine had exploded, as this might
be still intact, although a part Of the
general wreckage. In the absence of
an explicit statement as to the forward
magazine there was a disposition not to
accept an implied statement as to its
destruction.
Evidently the president of the court
of inquiry is fearful of the effect upon
the public of iu-judged attempts to ac-
count for the destruction of the Maine
for this afternoon he telegraphed Sec
certain publications of this morning,

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
The New Medical Discovery Tested. Results of the Test in Various Forms of Dyspepsia.

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, while very common trouble, has for some time been looked upon by able physicians as serious thing, and that no time should be lost in treating it properly at the start, because recent searches have shown that the most serious, fatal and incurable diseases have their origin in simple dyspepsia or indigestion.
 Diabetes is simply one form of indi- gestiOn, the sugar and starchy food not being assimilated by the digestive organs. In Bright's disease the albu- men is not properly assimilated.
 While consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyond question that dyspepsia makes a fer tile soil for the seeds of consumption.
 But the trouble has been to find a remedy that could be depended upon to cure dyspepsia, as it is notoriously obstinate and difficult to cure.
 This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike, until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of a new dyspepsia cure in the medical world known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was claimed was as certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble.
 Physicians, however, would not ac- cept Such statements without first giv- ing the new remedy many tests and carefully observing results.
 For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country and with surprising and satisfactory results.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be honestly claimed to be a specific, a radical lasting cure for indigestion in the various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or wind on stom- l ach, too much bile, undue fullness or pressure after eating and similar symp- toms resulting from disordered diges- tion. Stuart's Dyspesia Tablets were not placed before the public until this three years trial left no doubt as tc their value and they have recently i been placed in the trade and can be | found on sale at all druggists at the nominal price of 50 cents per package No extravagant claims are made fol the remedy.

SUGAR BEETS.
Where They May Be Proftably Grown
 -Beets at Cattle Food.

Farmers are becoming interested in
 the sugar beet industry, and the sev- eral experiment stations are busily at work endeavoring to solve the prob lem of profit or loss. Really the ques- tion is whether it would pay this cOun- try to produce beets and sugar or grow corn and wheat to exchange for it, but farmers, like others, prefer to grow those crops in which there is ''the most money" and since the beet sugar agitation has commenced it will ul- timately result in tests being made in every state to determine whether growing beets for sugar will pay better than our usual staple crops. Accord ing to the reports recently issued by the Pennsylvania state college agri- cultural experiment station, in bulletin No. 40, the amount of sugar consumed in this country exceeds that of any European nation by 5,O00,00O tons, anG

It's going to be a terrible loss to me. Why, never saw the women so set against a thing Not a knot of it, they say. nor anything else which in any way suggests the colors of Spain. Even the yellow journals suffer.
 One of the most peculiar effects o1 the present tension was noticed by the president of the American Spirits com pany today. He declares that there is an unprecedented demand for spirits for drinking purposes, and he attrib- utes the increased thirst of the masses to the continued excitement over our trouble with Spain.
