Welcome at Corner Stone Laying.

Welcome at Corner Stone Laying.
The committee having in charge the
parade. which will be one of the fea-
lures of the laying of the cornerstone
of the new capitol held another meet
ing yesterday at the mayors office.
Chairman McCardy announced that
the Fifteenth regiment, now at Camp
Ramsey. would participate in the pa
raGe.
Chief Goss was directed to arrange
for having the streets along the line
of march kept clear from curb to curb
during the passing of the procession
and to have taken down along the line
of march all overhanging signs and
banners. The chief was also directed
by the committee to have the snow
fences which are strung along the
street railway company tracks on
Fourth street removed.
The parade, as has been before stat
ed, will consist of three divisions, con-
sisting of military organizations, civic
and secret societies and the st. Paul
fire department.
The parade committee extend a gen.
eral invitation to all military and civic
organizations throughout the state to

The Minnesota Territorial Pioneers"
association will be we'll represented in
the parade. Many of the pioneers who
will be in line that day were here be-
fore the corner stone was laid for the
old capitol. All were here or some
where in Minnesota before Minnesota
was admitted to the union as a state.
Consequently th-re are no ''tenderfeet"
in the association. There will be an
appropriate banner carried at the head
and rear of their column and each old
time boy will wear the society's badge,
if he has proved himself eligible and
belongs to the organization. And any
pioneer who settled anywhere in Min
nesota on or before May II, 1858, and
wants to join in. is cordially invited
to do so by securing a certificate Of
life membership from the secretary

day night, the 23d. and all pioneers
within reach who can turn out are re-
quested to do 80. The place Of meeting

CALLED ON VAN HORNE.
President Mellen COnfers With the
Canadian Pacific President.

Canadian Pacific President.
President Mellen, of the Northern
Pacific, visited President Van Horne.
of the Canadian Pacific, in Minneapo-
lis yesterday and the two presidents
conferred about matters connected with
the rate war between the Canadian Pa
cif1c and the American rranscontinen-
tai lines.
The result of the conference between
President Hill and Sir William Van
Horne, which was held the previous
day, is not yet known, except to the
parties directly interested. To a re-
porter for The G l o b e Sir William
Van Horne yesterday said:
Really there was no conference. 1
am making one Of my regular visits
to st. Paul and on such occasions I
always avoid unpleasant subjects when
conversing with my associates"
The report that the Canadian Pacific
has decided to make terms with the
American roads rather than submit to
an investigation, Is not taken literally
in St. Paul. There are reasons why
the American lines would not care to
have the investigation prevented in
such way. They prefer that the
whole question should be gone into by
the Interstate commerce commission for
If 1t is shut off the Canadian Pacific
is likely to repeat the practices that
have made it Objectionable to the
American lines.
The point at issue is whether Amer
lean railways shall be compelled to
make a higher rate for transportation
Of persons and freight from point to
point in the United States than a
foreign corporation. 1t is felt that the
United States government should enact
laws that will cOmDel foreign rail-
ways to do business in conformity with
American laws. This result 1T is be-.
lieved can best be accomplished after
thorough investigation Of the Can
adian Pacific's business methods. If the
Canadian Pacific is allowed to make
terms of surrender before the investi-
cation, which is scheduled for Aug. 1,
there will be no need for an investi-
cation, and it Is feared the Canadian
Pacific may later on renew the tactics
which have brought about the present
decentralization Of business.

The Minnesota Transfer company
held an all-day session yesterday to
consider the purchase Of the New
Brighton stock yards property, but adj
journed without having arrived at a
decision. The committee, which ex-
amined the titles to the property, re-
ported that everything was clear, but
that the question of railway connec-
lions with the property was still to be
settled.
The Transfer company wants the
Great Northern company to put In an
interlocking switch at the st. Anthony
park crossing of it's tracks. but this the
Great Northern declined to do. The
Great Northern wants the Transfer
company to construct the crossing, to
secure the Great Northern against
damage and to pay the road switching
charges. To this the other roads would
not consent, and hence a deadlock
which may, however, be broken when
the company meets again next Wednes-
day. Those present at the meeting
yesterday were: General Superintend-
ent Hastings, Of the Burlington; Gen
eral Manager Kendrick, Northern Pa
cific; General Manager Scott Omaha;
Vice President Clough, Great North
ern; General Manager Stickney, Chi
cago Great Western; Assistant General
Superintendent Underwood, Milwaukee;

Spanish Government Shirks RespOn-
sibiIity for Santiago Surrender.
MADRID, July pa semi-official
note has been published here. explain
ing the circumstances, from a Spanish
standpoint, of the surrender of San
tiago de Cuba. 1t declares that the
letter which Gen. Toral lis alleged to
have written to Gen. Shafter," is
apocryphal, as the letter contains a
statement which it Is impossible for
Gen Toral to have made because it is
untrue that his government authorized
him to capitulate." The note con-
tinues:
What happened is that the war min
lister received two kilograms from Capt.
Gen. Blanco. The first described Gen.
Torars position, which was most pitt
full because of the want of provisions
and ammunition. 1t also detailed the
enemys propositions. In the second
telegram Capt. Gen. Blanco gave the
terms Of the capitulation and requested
Instructions. The war minister replied
to both by telling Capt. Gen. Blanco
to leave every initiative TO Gen. Toral,
for ii was impossible to recommend
any other line of conduct. Gen. Toral
accordingly acted as he thought ad-
visable and will explain before a court
martial the motives which induced him

LET THERE BE LIGHT.
Gas Committee OverruIes Comp
trOIIer McCardy's Objections

trOller McCardy's objections.
The assembly committee on gas met yes
terday and recommended the order locating
nine additional arc lights. The lights are to
be placed as follows: Fort and Tenth streets
st. Peter street and College avenue, Clinton
and Isabel. Broadway and Van Slyke court
Bedford and Decatur streets, Beaumont and
Decatur streets, Payne avenue and Decatur
street, Eichenwald and Sixth streets Uni
versity avenue between Western ard Arundel
The final order was recommended for pas
sage by the committee in the face of state
ment by Comptroller McCardy that there
was no money available in the lighting fund
to pay for the additional lights. 1t was a
question, the comptroller said whether there
would be enough money in the lighting fund
to pay the lighting bills already contracted
for.
This statement had its effect on Assem-
blymen Benson and Warner two of the mem
bers of the committee, but after the comp
troller left, Assemblyman Dix, the third
member of the committee, explained th 1T the
comptroller always said there was 10 money
in the funds.
Assemblyman Nelson who is int rested in
the location Of three of the lights in the First
ward, informed the committee that the board
of public works had stated there would be
money enough to pay for the ad ii TO- al i ghts.
These statements treasured the two new mem
bers of the committee, and the order was
recommended for adoption. The lights will
cost at the rate of 1874 so per year, aud for
the balance of this year 1t will cost $3.50 to
maintain them.

An odd accident occurred last night at
Lake Como. 1t is the custom at the lake
for the employees of the pavilion to make
the candy. In the kitchen a large kettle
of syrup was boiling about o'clock last
evening. Fred Koehler was looking after the
boiling stuff and it became so hot that it
began to burn.
H. M. Barnett. the manager of the pavilion.
happened into the kitchen at the moment and
called to Koehler to take the burning ket-
tie off the stove. Koehler took the kettle
to handy sink Mr.. Barnett, knowing
more about running pavilions than about can
dy making. threw a pail of water into the
kettle of boiling syrup.
There was an explosion at once and the
heated mass flew all over the place. por,
ton of the fluid struck Mr.. Barnett in the
face and sDattered over his hands. Young
Koehler was burned slightly about the face
and very badly about the hands.

TAX ON GRAIN CERTIFICATES.
Chief Inspector Clausen Asks Wash
ington for Some Information.

Chief Grain Inspector A. G. Clausen
returned from a visit to Boston yester-
Gay. He is now studying the revenue
tax law to ascertain what documents
require stamps to be affixed to them.
The grain inspectors Of Missouri and
Illinois have decided that the shippers
and warehouse men shall pay a tax of
10 cents on all inspection and weighing
certificates. There is a question in this
state whether certificates are legally
necessary. No law has been passed
requiring them, but the warehouse
commission has made it a rule to give
them. The point involved is whether
a rule of the commission has the force
Of a legislative enactment. The rule
as it stands is not made obligatory,
but certificates are to be issued at the
request of shippers. Collector Won
Baumbach has decided that all private
certificates and receipts are subject to
tax.
If the commissions rule is not legally
binding, there will be reduced de-
mand for such receipts and certif1-
Gates, but If the revenue department
at Washington decides that the rule
is to be enforced, then shippers will be
put to a heavy expense. The expense
at present will not be great but, when
the crops begin to move, it will be an
important item, especially to ware
house men and other large shippers
The total tax on car of wheat
amounts to Sc cents. 1t is divided as
follows:
