New York, September 7.-Trading in St. Paul at the opening was active and de- mand heavy. A depression in number of stocks was evident, although the crowd appeared bullish. The announcement of a settlement of Transatlantic rate war caused Northern Pacific to be off a shade A proposed deal will soon be effected by the strongest banking interest to improve the anthracite situation, put stop to the rate cutting. The general market failed to follow the strong opening of St. Paul, and evidence of liquidation in prominent spec ialties invited short selling all around, in which room traders took active park The market displayed resistance in spot4, and soon hardened, but the recovery did not carry prices generally up to last nights level. rsa

 Jackson & Co.'S Grain Letter
 Chicago, September 1.-The wheat market today was somewhat contradictory and both bulls and bears had something to en- courage them. Liverpool cables were low er Receipts at Chicago were S69 cars, S1 under estimate. Northwestern receipts were heavy, 750 cars against BIO last year. The demand for cash article at seaboard displayed improvement.
 A heavy movement is anticipated from the north for 60 or 90 days. In consequence is that traders sold December and that month ruled lower while September held strong.
 Corn, it, is generally believed, the damage to crop by ftosts would amount to much. Selling was light and prices dropped quick ly. Later, however, market became firmer owing to heavy buying orders from houses with country connections.
 Oats ruled fairly steady, on buying by short interest
 The provision market was strong and heavy. Buying by packing houses and covering by shorts put it a little higher.

A Washington dispatch says
the president has decided to ap-
point no more second lieutenants
from civil live, but to give the
rank and file of the army a
chance. To a gentleman who
called upon him in the interest
of a young man seeking a ap-
pointment to officers places in
the army bas passed. The civili-
an is all right, but the man at
the front is better. I intend
that the brave lads who have
gone out in the ranks and done
the fighting shall receive the re
wards. Hereafter the only
recommendations for army ap-
pointments that will have any
weight with me will be recon-
mendaticns of the officers from
the front. . Let the president
stick to that text and we shall
have a splendidly oficered army

With much sarcasm the fusion
lists declaimed against gang rule
at Fargo, against machine domin-
alton in politics, against corrupt
administration of public affairs
With the awful exhibit before
them of the depth of iniquity in
to which a political party may
plunge itself, the confusionists,
later, themselves met in Fargo,
and nominated a rival ticket.
And this ticket of pure politics,
this ticket of governmental re-
,demption, this ticket of honest
administration, is headed by
Lieutenant and Colonel Creel of
Devils Lake. Suffering sub
jects, behold your Moses! The
day of our redemption draws
near! And Creel is to be be
your deliverer! Creel of Devils
Lake. Park River Gazette.
We hope Bro. Wyard is not in
sinuating that Creel would go in
to any unholy machine politics.
Would Creel do anything like
that? His skirts are clean now.
He has been cleansed by the fire
of the pure politics of the fusion
forces.

The city of Bismarck was
partly destroyed by fire last
Monday evening and the loss is
estimated at over half a million
of dollars. The postoffice. gov
ernment Offices. newspaper of.
fees, ETC., were burned down. 1t
is pretty tough on the business
men of Bismarck to lose their
buildings and stock, and if the
capitol had only burned down
in the place of these business
houses the people Of the state
could place a, new capitol in a
better and worthier town.

The Sentinel force succeeded

The Sentinel force succeeded
in nominating a pretty good
county ticket last Monday, and
our previous surnising to the ef-
feet that the Seminal was started
for the purpose of boosting a
certain faction into Office more
than it was for the advocating Of
the principles of the populist
party seems to be correct: The
rank and file of that party who
were anxious for an organ got
one-but it is bossed by q half
dozen or a dozen hungry Office
seekers and they can dance to
their music. The ticket from
an individual standpoint is a good
one, but there are some elements
surrounding the nomination of
two OF three on the ticket that
will show up a weakness as the
campaign progresses. The re-
publicans will be heard from
Saturday.

The state board of equalization
met at Bismarck a few days ago
and has done the right thing.
They have placed the assessment
of the main line and branches
at IS, 900 per mile, an increase of
$4,000 per mile over last year,
bringing the total assessment of
the railroad up to over four mil
lion dollars more than it has been
in previous years. This is a
move in the right direction and
one that will meet with the hear
ty approval of the people.

The silver question and the
tariff were forgotten in the popu-
list resolutions-we presume
like some of the leaders said of
the tariff question two years ago
the silver issue is ''too dead to
skim The resolutions justly
condemn the state board of
equalization for it's misdeeds of
the past. but seeing that the
board this year has assessed the
railroads the full limit their cam
paign power will now be worth

This is the way Editor Bassett.
of the Valley City Alliance, ex-
presses himself about repuh-
licanism:
"'rhe republican party is the
party of action. It's breath is
progress; its speech is the Ian,
guage of the world and it's dialect
the rhetoric of the home and the
shop. It's shihboleths might be
written on the white wall of any
church. 1t holds within it's
ranks the armies of all re-
forms. It studies political con-
ditions, weighs popular senti-
ment and seizes the earliest hour
to crytalize that sentiment into
wise legislation. Its heroic
constituencies are the thinking,
moving, vital elements of Amer
ican life. And this cannot truth
fully be asserted of any other
political party in America.

Of Governor Briggs, State Audit
OF Hannum, State Treasul er
Nichols, Attorney General Cow
an and Commissioner of Agricul-'
ture Thomas at yesterdays ses-
sion passed resolutions which
added over four million dollars
to the value of railroad property
in the state. A raise was ex-
pected by the railroads, but not
SO great a one and they protest
ed vigorously to the board. G..
S. Fernald, tax missioner of
the Northern Pacific; r, A. Will
l1inson of the Great Northern and
j. w. Cassiday of the 500, ap.
peared before before the board
and made addresses asking that
no radical increase in value be
made. The same arguments
were advanced that have been
made in former years that roads
were already assessed high
enough; that many branch lines
were not paying much more than
operating expenses and that a
radical increase of assessment
would raise the valuation of rail
road property above the proper
ton Of value paid by private per-
sons. The resolution passed by
the board had been agreed upon
by the members and was passed
without division. Heretofore
railroads in this state have paid
on an average valuation of
barely $4,000 per mile. The state
board added million dollars to
the valuation of railroad proper
ty in 1896. making the average
valuation a little over $4,000 per
mile. The resolutions passed to-
day makes the average valuation
a little over $4,000. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific
roads are assessed at $4,000 per
mile fat on the main. line and
branches and as these have the
greatest mileage the increase
falls heaviest upon them. They
do not object so much to paying
the increased tax to the state, but
in many of the counties along the
branch line roads their taxes will
be doubled and the total increase
will be large. The assessment
of roads as fixed by resolutions
is as follows: Great Northern,
miles of main line. 5O7; branches

Total assessed valuation, S., 5,274,

ed in here this morning by the Allen
liner, Grecian, with her bow torn
away by a collision, miles south of
Sable island, with the French steamer
La Bourgogne, which latter vessel
went down ten minutes later.
OF the S31 passengers and crew on
board the La Bourgogne only 200
were saved.
Mrs. Lacasse, wife of A. d. Lacasse,
language teacher of Plainyille, n. j.,
was the only woman saved.
The captain and sother deck officers
went down with the ship.
The Cromart yshire laid to and pick
ed up the 200 passenger and seamen
who were rescued, transporting them
to the Grecian, which came along af-
forwards.
Among those who persisted were
Mrs. II. II. Knowles and daughter and
w. ]. Fuhrer and four children of At,
lanta.
Some of the scenes enacted board La
Bourgogne just after the collision were
terrible to witness. Men fought 70, pc
sitious in the BEATS ike ra,ing maniacs,
women were forced back from the boats
and trampled by men who made self
preservation their first object.
ZION board were a large number of the
lower class of Italians and other foreign
ers. who in their frenzy, stopped at moth
ing that promised safety for themselves
In boat was party of forty women,
but SO great was the panic that a
hand was raised to assist in its launch
ing. The occupants, so near saved
were drowned like rats wren the ship,
with an awful kissing sound, went down.
So desperate was the situation that an
Italian passenger drew his knife and
made direct at one who, like himself,
was enaeayoring to reach the boats
Immediately his action was initiated
in every dire elton. Knives were flour
ished by half hundred Of these selfish
men,
According to stories of survivors, wom-
en- were stabbed like 50 many sheep.
Nearly all the FIRST class passengers
were lost, those saved being Storage

La Cassee and his wife were in the
water eight hours, clnging to a raft, be-
fore they were picked up by boat from
the Cromartyshire. They lost everything
but what they had on, including money
and valuables.
The struggles, swishipg water and ter
rible screams of the drowning made the
situation an awe-iusp ring one, never to
be forgotten. One man on the La Buur-
gogne when she sank, went out of his
mind and jumped to a wateTy grave.
