Hearing in the North Dakota Rate
Case to Be Continued

Hearing in the North Dakota Rate
Case to Be Continued.
The cross examination Of Col. Cough. vice
president Of the Great Northern railway by
Attorney General Cowan, was continued in
the North Dakota rate case yesterday.
The session was adjourned at O'Clock to
meet in the Old Colony building, Chicago,
today at 10 O'clock to hear the testimony of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul road s
representatives in the case. An adjournment
will then be made until May Is to give the
railroads time to prepare further exhibits
and to give the stenographers opportunity to
catch up In the transcribing OF the testimony,
in which they are greatly behind
The Northern Pacific called as witnesses
during the recent rate case session General
General Traffic Manager Hannaford The
Great Northern railway called none but Col
Clough, who testified to the management
OF the road in every department. He had

ing the entire field Of railroading
Yesterdays session consisted of a cross
examination of that statement, infinitely COW
ering the many dry details Of conducting
railroad, embracing the same questions as
were answered in the examination in chief
Col. Clough was asked, as in the case of
the Northern Pacific witnesses, to produce
certain papers, statements, schedules, etc.,
which will require some time to prepare and
for that reason and the further reason of the
stenographers being behind in their work, it
was agreed between the attorneys and ap-
proved by Master-in- Chancery Lowell to ad-
journ after the Chicago session until May 25
when the case will again be taken up at the
Northern Pacific headquarters building.
Attorney General John F. Cowan has been
suffering from an ear complaint and his in
disposition delayed the hearings somewhat.

Sioux Want to Fight.

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., April M.-The
Sioux Indians on the Crow Creek reservation
have, after a series of earnest debates, de-
clded to give their active support to Uncle
Sam in the event of hostiltties with Spain.
The Indians came to this determination
on unique grounds. They wish to fight
the Spaniards for the purpose of avenging
the cruelties inflicted upon their forefathers
by the expeditions of Columbus and De-
soto. Although the Sioux nation has no
written history, the chief historical events
are handed down by word Of mouth from
one Indian to another, SO that the In
dams. Of the present day have a meager,
though what they claim accurate, record
OF the treatment accorded their ancestors
by the early Spanish explorers The In
dams who make specially Of memorizing
the history of their race are known as
historians They relate the history in a
connected manner, and there is enough Of
or three weeks in the telling. The history
is usually handed down from father to son.

or the purchaser of tickets should pay the
tax to be imposed by the government in case
OF war. Some are of the opinion that the
maximum rate law, effective in some states.
Will prevent them from adding to the present
prices OF tickets, and others say that the
increase will not be an increase in the price
OF the tickets. but VIII be the tax that the
government and passengers can settle be-
tween them, and, as far as the state laws
on the subject of maximum rates are con-
cerned, the law from the government will
take precedence over any enactment by state
legislatures.
Another question is whether the tax will.
be made to cover all fares paid for trans
portation, or simply tickets sold. If the lat
ter construction is to rule, the roads say
that they will sell very few tickets over the
counter, and that nine out of ten pesseng ers
will pay their fare on trains in order to
avoid the tax which would be imposed upon
them If they bought tickets outright at the
regular Offices.

BIG LOSS OF REVENUE
KLONDIKE TRAVEL AND THE
RATE WAR
Amount of Traffic to Alaska Not
Worth the Fight Between the
Canadian Pacific and American
Lines-NOt Over 10000 Men Have
Left for the Gold Fields Since
January Inst.

January Last.
railroad men are beginning to won
der II the amount Of traffic to the KIon-
dixie this spring has been worth the
three months fight with the Canadian
Pacific and the loss of revenue on regu-
lar business consequent on the reduc-
tons made by all Western lines and the
Grand Trunk.
The travel to Alaska this spring has
been a great disappointment to rail-
road men, almost all of whom placed
the total at 100000 or 100000 men. Since
Jan. l, when the first travel to the
Klondike began. all passengers on all
Alaskan bound vessels have been
counted. Up to April 1, the total num-
Der had not reached $4,000. The num-
Der who went overland is very small,
and $4,000 will cover the entire exodus
to the gold fields of Alaska this spring.
For this business transcontinental
rates were reduced more than go per
cent, the fare from ST. Paul and Mis-
souri, river points being only $40, yet
the reductions do not seem to have
stimulated traffic to any appreciable
extent. Furthermore, these low rates
are In effect still and prospects of get
ting them out are very poor, for the
Canadian Pacific and. the American
lines are as far from a settlement as
they were when the fight began early
in the winter
Certainly 1t looks as If one of the
two sides must eventually take water
as the loss suffered by both factions is
enormous.

REACHED AN AGREEMENT.
County Auditors Confer With the
State Office Relative to the Assess
ment of Logs


County Auditors Holden, of Duluth, and
Minon, of Hennepin county, held a confer
ence with Deputy State Auditor Iverson at
the capitol yesterday, which resulted in an
agreement to govern the assessment of logs
hereafter.
The conference was brought about by a.
case in HenneDin county, where a lumber
man had made return of logs cut in St.
Louis county, as part Of his personal prop
erty.
The logs were also assessed in St. Louis
county, and the desire was to abate one of
these assessments.
1t was decided that hereafter logs will be
assessed at the home of the owner, or where
they are manufactured, but the owner must
submit a list Of the logs, showing the county
and locality in which they are cut Other
wise the auditor of the county in which they
were cut may return them to the state audi
tor for taxation.
Heretofore it is said to have been the prs c.
tice of lumbermen, or many of them to es-
cape taxation by refusing to return logs
claiming In each county that they had been
returned in some other. The new system
will end this. for the auditor OF, the county
in which the logs are cut will be able to
secure from the auditor Of the county to
which they are sent copy of the record show
ing whether or not they have been properly
returned. Washington, st. Louis, Morrison,
Crow Wing Hennepin, Aitkin and ether tim
bered counties are especially interested in
this new ruling.

The formation and exact character Of
the Minnesota representation in the
volunteer army, which will shortly be
sent to the front in case Of war with
Spain, Is still uncertain, and must re-
main so until congress takes action on
either the volunteer, army bill, which
was taken up yesterday, and passed by
the house, or upon what is known as
the war department hill which covers
the matter of the formation Of the
regular and volunteer forces of the
United States in case Of hostilities
In the opinion of some army men
who are still left in st. Paul, congress
will probably pass the department bill
before finally acting on the other so
that it may be definitely determined
just now the present regular army, and
the national guard Of the different
states may be drafted into the service
Of the country.
In the event that the volunteer call
is made before the army bill becomes
a law the Minnesota guardsmen will
number in the neighborhood of 1000
men all told, which will probably be
made up into two regiments. The first
regiment to be enlisted and sent off will
be made up Of 1000 men, while the
second may not be so large.
These men will be differed by men
who may be commissioned by the gov
ernor, and according to the opinions
expressed yesterday may be the Off
GERS of the guard. Also the guard or
ganization may be kept up. In case the
department bill is passed Minnesota
will be called upon to send to the front
one infantry regiment, consisting Of
something like 400 men.
In both cases mentioned the total
from this state is figured on the basis
of population-that is 1,100 men to a
population Of $4,000. From the fact
that both bills were pending yesterday,
nothing very definite could be decided
upon here, but the work of recruiting
new men went on during the day with
out interrution, some Of the company
commanders going above even the 100
limit.
Adjt. Gen. Nuremberg had no new ad-
vices yesterday, but reports that the
work of securing ample material will
have no interruption, and that when
the time comes. if it does, for this
state to send her quote Of representa-
tive able-bodied well-drilled volunteers
on the basis of population of national
guard strength, she will be found, as
she was once before, not wanting in
patriotism, or in the possession of
sturdy loyal sons anxious and willing
to fight for the country.

Guard Corps to Act.

Guard Corps to Act.
Surgeon General Fulton, Of the ma
tional guard, and Adjt. Gen. Muehl-
berg do not agree as to the medical
examination Of national guard voIun-
teerS
DIR. Fulton Is anxious that the
guardsmen who volunteer. and that
includes all of the members, practical
ly, should be examined by the guard
corps before they pass into the SER
vice of the federal government, be-
lieving that it will save time and
trouble.
Gen. Nuremberg, however, saws
there is no need of examination by the
state authorities. The federal authori-
ties can establish their own standards
according to the necessities of the
case, and the guardsmen, like other
volunteers, should be examined under
those standards.
In addition to the three infantry reg
1ments and the two batteries of artil-
lery, which volunteered to a man at
the first intimation that war was i'm
mlnent, several companies which had
been disbanded have also reorganized
and rendered their services. There Is
hardly a town Of Importance in the
state which has not a company ready
for the service, whether it has regu-
lar company of the national guard or
not.
These applications are all filed, and
will be taken up as volunteers are call
ed for, the fully organized and drilled
companies being sent out first.

Who Signed Enlistment Blanks.
The armory was a lively place last
evening. With company drills on the
floor and recruiting and squad drills
In the company rooms, the building
never was more animated. Warlike
preparations were going on all about
the building, and there was as much
excitement as though the regiment was
about to start for Cuba
The main attraction last night was
the drill of Company H in the main
drill room. The entire company was
put through military evolutions, and
the men made a splendid appearance.
They executed the movements with ce-
1erity and ease, and frequently evoked
applause from the spectators.
An invitation to witness the drill had
been extended the public. and every
available seat was occupied by ladies
who were interested IN the members of
the company. A large number of men
belonging to other companies were
present, and gave unstinted praise to
Capt Hardy for the excellent work Of
his command.
Twice during the evening the com
pany was ordered to charge, and the
manner in which they went for imag
mary Spaniards brought forth loud
cheers of appreciation.
Company c. under Capt. Robinson,
drilled in the street, and the men at
tracted quite crowd as they marched
up and down the thoroughfare.
There will be a very pretty exhibition
at the armory tonight, when Company
d will have the Butts calisthenic drill,
with musical accompaniment. This is
the new drill devised by Lieut.. Butts,
of the regular army. 1t is performed
with guns, and when done by a large
body of men the effect is very fine.
The musical signals give the drill an
additional interest.
In every company room recruits were
being taught the first rudiments of SOL
diery last night. They were very raw,
some of them, but all were eager to
learn, and they went through the work
with a spirit of determination that au-
cured well for the future Of the several
companies and badly for the Spaniards
who will have the temerity to meet
them in Cuba
