The Winslow's Case

Reports received here from Key West
show that the condition of the little tor
pedo boat winslow is much worse than
was supposed and that 1t will be .neces-
sary, in all probability. to have her come
tc Norfolk for repairs. One shell smashed
her low pressure starboard cylinder AMI
another traversed one Of her boilers. 1t
would be possible to get along under one
boiler and reduce the starboard engine
from quadruple to triple expansion,
but the efIiciency Of the boat would be
very much lowered thereby.

In support Of his assertion that
Blshop Whipple wasathe most popular
man In the state. athe Judge related an
anecdote Of an old settler in LIE Sueur
by the name of Bill Smith, who was not
altogether gentle I'm his ways. Bill liv-
ed next to a Presbyterian church. the
worshipers at which would hitch their
teams to Bills picket fence, and the
horses would gnaw off the heads Of his
pickets. He had given his son a per-
emptory order to cut the halters Of any
such offending teams. Bishop Whipple
had service In LIE Sueur and the Pres
byterians gave him their church. His
driver hitched to Smiths fence, and
the boy reported the fact to his father
and was promptly instructed to cut
their brides. But" said the son, "its
Bishop. Whipple's team" "Oh." said
Smith. "that Is entirely different mat
ter. Bishop Whipple is the only man
in the state of Minnesota who can
hitch his horses to my fence, and If
he wants to he can stable them in my
parlor."
The judge gave other instances Of the
bishops great popularity.
Some very interesting instances Of
the corruption Of foreign names in this
state were given by the speaker. There

Complaint Against Mesaba Rang,
Railroad Filed.

Complaint Against Mesaba Range
Railroad Filed.
A complaint has been sent to the state
railway commission that the Duluth & Iron
Range and the Duluth, Mesaba & Northern
railroads were charging such high rate
for the transportation Of iron ore that it
practically prohibited Independent miners
from operating their iron Mines
The compliments are John G.. Brown, Will
liam j. Conan and Eliza Conan, who are
large stockholders in the Pioneer Iron COM
pany, which has mineral leases Of school
lands of the state.
The complaint was drawn by Bilson, Cong
don & Dickinson, of Duluth, and alleges that
the owners of the majority of the stock in
the railroads ARE also owners of iron mines
along the lines Of the roads. The freight
rates from the Vermillion and the Mesaba
iron ranges to Two Harbors and Duluth
are alleged to be so high that the railroad
owners can afford to operate their mines at
loss and still make unreasonable profit
on both mining and railroad property. The
rates for hauling ore from the ranges to
the lake are also alleged to be so high that
Independent operators, and especially the
compliments, cannot operate their mines at
a profit.
The commission will fix a date for the hear
ing Of the complaint.

Of early French and Spanish names Of
rivers and towns, Indian names and
customs the source of the Mississippi
and the origin of the name of the lake
in which it heads, and many other mat
tiers of curious interest
The Judge began by disclaiming any
pretense of its being a lecture at ALL
saying: II fear that I am perpetrating
a wrong in offering to you this even
ing the collection of anecdotes, jokes
and frivolous sayings and doings that
I have strung together in this paper.
Ny only excuse is that 1t was not orig
inally prepared for this dignified body
but for the, amusement of a much
lighter audience; and that 1t does con-
tain some matters relating to our early
days, although of a character that can
hardly be brought under the designa-
ton of history
In mentioning George Bungo, the
first negro who ever appeared in the
Northwest, the judge describes him as
being so black that his skin fairly
gistened. In those days there was no
distinction between the people, but that

not belonging to the latter class, used

and It acquired the name from the
French half-breeds Of La riviere des
embarras,', or the difficult river. When
spoken of by them they usually called
1t "des' emIbarras." which,, spoken
quickly and with a gutteral information,
gave the Americans the word Gum
bro"
A great many instances were given
of the origin: of Indian names of objects
which were introduced among them
after their contact with the whites,
most Of which were purely descriptive.
The domestic chfcken-cocls is called

crows in the early morning. The
steamboat "pay-ta-wata," or the Fire
Canoe" and so on through many
others.

One of the Handsome New Coaches
on Exhibition at the Depot.
xsOne of the new 500 line tourist cars was
on exhibition in the union depot yards yes
terday, and large number Of people in
spected the handsome coach.
The car is one Of a number recently adopt
ed by the 500 line on its passenger service
from st. Paul to Seattle and from st. Paul
to Boston. 1t is from the shops Of the Pull
man company, and beats anything yet at
tempted in the tourist style of coaches.
The car is equipped with the latest modern
appliances in the nature of full, steel plat
form vestibules, extra high berths, and both
steam and hot water heating, etc. In the
front of the car is located the smoking room
with four sections, having a seating capacity
rooms for men and women. Between the
smoking apartment and the main room Is
a sensible steel range for cooking and large
receptacle for washing dishes.
The car is heated by steam from the loco
motive and has also a system of hot water
heating from a modern heater. The entire
inside Is finished in cherry and upholstered
in leather.
The visitors yesterday were treated with
the hospitality for which the 500 people are
so widely known. The ladies were presented
with roses, and the men were ushered into
a private room, from whence issued the
sounds of clinking glasses.

II the present war continues any
length OF time, st. Paul will be known
as the greatest grain transfer shipping
point In the world"
That Is what one of the most promi-
nent traffic officials in this city said to
reporter for The Globe yesterday.
Continuing, he said:
All the export traffic that has gone
through the Atlantic coast and Gulf
| ports will now seek Canadian ports be-
| cause Of the difficulty experienced in
shipping from the former ports during
the war.
Secret negotiations are now going
on between the Chicago, Great Western
railway and the Canadian Pacific sys-
tenn for the forming Of a traffic alliance
! between the two systems, by which
| grain will be shipped from the great
| grain fields of Kansas and Nebraska
| through st. Paul via the Great West
ern, then by way Of the Canadian Pa
cific and 500 line to ST. John, Halifax
and Montreal. and from these points by
vessel to all European ports. The YES
sells will sail under the English flag
and will not be molested by Spanish
warships.
There will be hardly any grain
traffic from the Atlantic coast and Gulf
ports to Europe, because of the danger
attached to such trips, as the Spaniards
Will NC Ou IIt lOOhOuC LOT any Amer1-
can merchantmen. The grain will be
taken to ST. John, Halifax or Montreal
and shipped to Europe from there in
stead Of from Boston, New York, New
Orleans and other Atlantic coast and
Gulf cities. The arrangement between
the Great Western and the Canadian
Pacific will make ST. Paul the great
gateway through which nearly all the
export traffic, which has formerly gone
through Chicago and st. Louis to the
Atlantic coast and Gulf points, will go
en- transit to all European points.
1.-The Great Western is the shortest
line between Kansas and Nebraska to
this city, and will handle much of the
immense grain and flour traffic that
originates from Kansas and Nebraska,
passing through Kansas City, Leaven-
worth and st. Joseph.
The Gulf roads for the past three or
four years have secured the bulk of
this trade but are practically out Of
1T for the same reason as that attached
to the practical closing of the Atlantic
ports.
Most Of the vessels now entering
New York are owned by English inter
ests, and all they will have to do is
to change ports to Canadian points.
1.-THE advantage Of this new route
can be plainly appreciated. There will
be no danger of loosing the grain-laden
vessels, and the shippers will not be
Obliged to pay the tremendously high
war insurance rates that would other
wise be necessary were they to ship
their stuff via the former route
The idea of this scheme is said to
have originated with A. B. Stickney,
president of the Great Western. If the
plan can be carried into execution it
will mean filed Golfers for both the
Canadian Pacific and the Great West

He Were as Sure of Certain other
Districts in the State He Is

His Campaign Right NOw--De-
sires to He Governor.
Capt. Sam Van SAINT dropped into
town yesterday afternoon.
The Winona statesman had been re-
ceiving reports from his Third district
lieutenants during the past few days,
and he wore a benignant smile as he
chatted with a few friends in the Union
depot yesterday. The captain has re-
ceiVed soothing assurance that Tams
BiXby Will not put any stumbling
blocks in his way in the Third dis
trict and he takes this to mean that
he viii have that district in his pocket
handy for emergencies in the state con-
vention.
Capt Van SAINT remarked yesterday
with considerable earnestness:
u am the only candidate that has
confessed to the people that 1 really de-
sire to be governor. l am frank about
il. l confess to an awful itch for the
position. 1 want to go to war awful
bad, but l want to be governor so bad
that I cannot sleep nights. It's very
ticklish sensation, and 1 never expect
to be free from it until I am governor
Il am not going to claim the earth.
l know better than TO do that. l have
a hard fight on my hands. 1 am not
going TO have a walk-away. 1 expect
to fight every day until the conven-
ton, and if | go down it will be IN
about as hot a scrimmage as a Re-
publican convention in this state has
ever seen"
Capt. Van SAINT confidently declared
that he had Hennepin county cinched,
and that William Henry Eustis would
be more wonderfully amazed this time
than he was two years ago.
William Henry is all right" said
Van SAINT. He Is a good enough fell
low, but he isn't a politician. He is
too optimistic.
Il am going to break his heart in
Hennepin county this fall. He will
never know he was in the fight when
it is over If 1 was as sure of certain
other districts as I am of Minneapolis,
I would end my campaigning right now
and wait for the convention

Joseph Horejs was born in Austria In 1854,
and has been resident of st. Paul for eight
cen years. In company with his brothers he
established a bakery here in 1884, and by
strict adherence to business principles the
Horejs brothers have built up the most ex7
tensive business of this nature in the city of
st. Paul, If not in the entire Northwest.
The firm has the best equipped bread man
ufacturing plant west of Chicago, and has a
reputation of putting only the best goods on
the market.
The main store of the company where the
plant is situated, is at 4G1 West Seventh
