THE WORLD NAVAL MOVE
MENTS.

Speaking of the movement among
the nations toward the strengthening
of their naval forces, and the money
that has been set aside for that pur-
pose, also the effect this will have up
on the money markets of the world,
Henry Clews in his weekly review
says:
AS a result, four nations have,
ated $685., 900, 900 for naval purposes
Great Britain S119.OOO,OO0. United
States S5O,OOO,OOO, Russia $50, 900.
and Germany 500, 200, 900. These out
lays, have been very enormously in
anCe of the worlds money markets.,
corporate loans and as being gener-
ally unfavorable to the investment
markets. I can see no justification
whatever for such apprehensions; they
are the product of pessimistic imagfn-
ations. The outlays of all the coun-
tries, except our own, will extend
over a series of years. Those of Eng
land and Germany will be provided
for in the ordinary course of revenue
and therefore will involve no borrow
ing. Russia will gradually draw her
$50, 900, 900 out of Imperial funds now
on deposit; and our own appropria-
tions will be provided for out of sur
plus cash now in the Treasury. Thus
none of these expenditures will in
volve any issue of loans; while those,
of Russia and the United States will
put S119, 000, 900 of money now boarded
into active circulation, thereby con-
tributing to ease in the money mar
kets aud strength in the cash re-
sources of the banks.

ON the Curb.

John S. Beeston, of Minneapolis,
who is right-of-way agent of the
Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company, was in Mankato yesterday.
He states that his company will build
l 300 miles of long distance line the
present year. of which 900 miles will
be in Minnesota and 400 miles out
side. One of the first extensions to
be made will be the line from Man.
kato to Tracy. The Northwestern is
reaching out for new territory very
rapidly.
1t is related that the Van SAINT
men were very much elated at the
forenoon session of the conference
yesterday and felt that with few re-
Inducements they could control it in
the afternoon. They are said to have
sent telegram to ST. Peter to send
more men on the noon train. At any
rate, some ten men came, but the rein
forcements proved inadequate, as
more antiVan SAINT men had also ar
rived by afternoon. The test of
strength in the afternoon was OF the
motion to vote by counties, and when
the machine people saw they were out
numbered they gave up the fight, and
and the final motion went through
without opposition.
The busiest men Monday night and
yesterday were the newspaper re-
porters and the telegraph operators.
Each of the twin city papers received
long specials concerning the confer
ence, the amount which each paper
received ranging from 1000, to 5000
words. The operators were steadily
engaged in getting this off from 900
p. m. to 100 a. m. Monday night, and
from $50 a. m. until $50 p. m. yester-
day, going without their dinners
The evening papers received practi-
cally the entire report of the confer
ence in time for their last editions.
The staff reporters of the city papers
returned on the afternoon train, the
representatives of the morning papers
taking their copy" with them.

THE CONFERENCE.
Some Notes Picked up in The
Corridors.
Incidents of Tuesdays Meeting Being
Talked Over by Both Sides.

Groups gathered in the rotunda of the
Saulpaugh Wednesday evening and talk
ed over the proceedings of the conference
in an amicable spirit, cracking jokes on
both sides. But little soreness was OBJ
servable. Chairman Funk sat In
rocker and good naturally took the
bantering of those who thought that
his rulings were arbitrary. Most OF
the outsiders had taken the afternoon
train for home or for the meeting of the
league of Republican clubs at Mime
apolis.
1t required as strong a man as MI.
Funk in the chair, and weaker men
would have failed under the circum-
stances. The Van SAINT forces were
we'll generated and were there seem
ingly for the purpose Of breaking up
the conference or rendering it abortlve
There was undoubtedly a deep laid
scheme to effect this, as the attempt
showed. 1t was an occasion that re-
ouired vigor in the presiding officer to
prevent an avalanche of questions, talk
and motions that were not proper sub
iects for consideration in the confer
ence. Mr.. Funk held all parties down
to business in commendable manner.
Nicollet county had about as many
participants in the conference as Blue
Earth county. Thirty-seven came from
St, Peter alone. Other counties were
also we'll represented, Dan Shell COM
ing with dozen stalwart henchmen
from Worthington, and jackson and
other counties swelling the list largely
1t is claimed that Sheriff Block pur-
chased twenty seven railroad tickets
for St. Peter followers, and if this is
true it only shows another instance of
julius liberality, which is already we'll
known.
Gen. Baker has been highly compli-
mented on all sides for his eloquent and
truthful presentation of the situation in
this state. His address is generally
looked upon as one of the best that he
ever made, and shows that the true
spirit burns in him.
The fact that the Van SAINT following
made bolt for the door after they had
been outvoted yesterday afternoon, and
did not remain to participate in the
subsequent proceedings, tends to show
that they did not attend the conference
in any spirit of sincerity, but were will
ing to abandon it when they found that
they could not control it.

ment developed among the anti-Van
