~ the Presidents Message.
Washington. April 7.-Certain sena-
tors OF the Committee of foreign rela.
tions are not quite agreed that they will
report favorably on the presidents mes.
sage when.it is referred to them, in the
event it is too mild. On the part of Ger
tain members it is known that no bill
will pass congress unless there is incor-
porated in it. the Cuban independence
feature. so that the division of the senate
on this question may be secured.
On the other hand it is contended that
only the president could recognize the
independence of Cuba under the consti-
tuition, and it is asked what course-those
holding this view will take wien con.
fronted with a demand to take such a
step. The answer to this is that the res
olutiou will be passed and presented to
the president for his signature. Senator
Foraker thinks if we do not act we will
be liable for the Spanish bonds.

CRUSHED BY A ROCK.
Louis Erickson Meets Death in the Ingram
Mine.

NAluOs
The Ingram mine at Salina was the
scene of death last night Louis Erick-
son, miner, was crushed and killed b"
a falling rock in the bottom of the shaft
Death was almost instantaneous, the
mans neck being broken and his head
badly crushed.
Erickson and his partner, Johnson,
were working in the shaft, the former
striking and the latter turning the drill.
Without warning huge boulder weigh
ing 500 pounds became loosened and fell.
Erickson was caught beneath the mass,
but Johnson escaped death miraculously.
Erickson was married and had one
child, and his wife. who is an invalid,
and child both resided in Salina.
Coroner Trezise was summoned from
Boulder last night to investigate the ac.
cident and take charge of the remains.
Mr.. Trezse found that the men were
working under contract which bound
them to timber the mine and protect
themselves, and the responsibility of any
accident, according to this contract,
which resulted from negligence, was to
be borne by the men themselves. The
men were working in their own ground
when the accident occurred. The re.
mains were brought to Boulder.
The Ingram insures its miners and
consequently the widow of Erickson will
receive $1,000 for her loss.

OUTSIDERS NEED NOT APPLY,
Boulder Banks Will Buy tho Chautsuqua
Bond Issue.

bQnQ ISSUE
w. H. Allison, cashier of the First Ma.
tional bank, ]. H. Nicholson, of the Ma
tional State bank, and &C. Bromley of
the Boulder National bank, held con.
ference this morning and decided to
make an offer to the city to purchase the
entire bond issue for the Chautauqua
park and buildings. Offers to purchase
these bonds have been received from
parties all over the state ano country
but it has been generally understood hat
Boulder would be given the preference.
This enterprising and patriotic step on
the part of the Boulder banks insures
the sale of the bonds at home and it is
extremely likely that the council will
close the deal with them as soon as the
preliminaries are arranged with the
council.

Odd Fellows New Hall.

The new Odd Fellows lodge room in
the Cheney block will be used for the
first time tonight, when Silver Queen
lodge No. II2 meets in regular session.
The equipments of the hall are rich and
tasteful, the committee having exerted
themselves to the utmost to secure the
best possible results. The room when
completed will be as fine as any in the
city. The room is about the same size
as the Masonic lodge room, with raised
platforms about the room and the usual
staging. The carpets are of the best
royal Welton, and McClure-White did
an excellent job in laying it, The other
furnishings are in keeping. The ante
rooms, dressing rooms and lavatories are
all laid with heavy linoleum. The work
of furnishing and fitting the hall has
been in charge of the board Of trustees,
Messrs. Trezise, Metcalf and Hazleton
and special committee, Messrs. Meek
er, Mckenzie, Koehler, Miller and
Boeck, and their selections do them
credit. Work in the initlatory degree
will be given three candidates. J. D,
Merwin, James Wilson and E. w. Colvin

tendance. The Odd Fellows are deserv.
edly proud of their new quarters.

McCardY Is Posing.

When Comptroller McCardy goes to
the charter and makes such a move as
he made Monday in demanding that the
entire street cleaning and repairing
force be discharged Forthwith the city
officials, as we'll as the general public,
will inquire: What does he mean? Peo-
pie may do Capt. McCardy an injustice
in this, but it is always in order to
question his sincerity, even when it is
necessary to take him seriously. He
has come to be described by colo
judaism that has found favor In the
eyes Of the vulgar. He is a grand stand
player" The term is used in reference
to the comptroller as it was wont to be
used to describe the posing of Count
Antonio Mullane, lately Of the ST. Paul
base ball club.
Capt McCardy did not ask the imme-
diate discharge Of all the street force
without knowing that his demand
would be rejected by the conference
committee. He must have had some Ill
terror motive: He was fully aware of
the fact that it would be menace not
only to the comfort, but to the health Of
the people of st. Paul to let the streets
go without cleaning for three days, put
ting aside the proposition Of giving the
streets over to the reign of dirt for four
weeks To permit Sixth, Seventh, Wa
basha-any of the retail streets-to go
without cleaning for even a few days
would impose a loss of thousands Of
dollars on retail merchants in injury to
their stocks. Mr.. McCardy is aware of
this; he knows that there would be a
Tremendous protest; he is also aware Of
the fact that there will be plenty of
funds available for street cleaning pur-
poses next month. These being the
facts, the question arises:
What is the purpose of this particular
pose and who is there in the grand
stand that the comptroller wants to i'm
press?

American Goods in France.

Walter T. Griffin, commercial agent
at Limoges, calls the attention Of Amer
lean hatters to the trade opportunities
in France. British manufacturers are
at present supplying the large depart
ment stores in Paris and throughout
the provinces. It is a significant fact
that certain French dealers facilitate
their trade by putting fictitious names
in the hats with New York as
the address Of the maker. Mr.. Griffin
thinks that such action shows that
American manufacturers exporting to
European countries should have their
trademarks registered, and urges them
to study the French market.
The disastrous experience Of the pre-
served meat establishments set up in
France to run out the American brands
has again brought the American article
into demand. The French houses, hav-
ing neither the facilities nor the ex-
perience Of the American factories. I'M
dertook to furnish goods to the army.
AS a consequence, a large number Of
soldiers Of the Tours barracks were
poisoned by the meats, and not a few
Of them have died. Hence the sudden
demand, not only for American canned
meats, but for dried, canned and pre-
served fruits.
Another American achievement upon
which the French are looking with
mingled feelings Of longing and envy is
the precision Of her machinery. In view
Of the fact that we are paying $500, OOO.-
900 into the pockets Of foreigners for
shipping, the following statement. made
by a Frenchman, is interesting. While
speaking Of the late war, he said;
America has astonished the world with the
accuracy Of her implements and machinery,
her steel ships resist and endure better than
those of other and older countries. Her in
tricate machinery does not get out of order
so quickly, and stands crucial tests far he
yond the power Of European apparatus: ana
there are fewer failures because there are
fewer defects; this is due to her Implements
Of precision.

THIS IS A TEST CASE.

Attorney General Chllds has COM
menced suit in the name Of the state
against the United States Express COM
pany. A writ Of alternative mandamus
has been issued by Judge Brill requir-
ing the express company to show cause
why they should not make a complete
and detailed report to the railroad and
warehouse commission as to the value
and profit of their business during 1897.
The case is brought at the instance
Of the railroad and warehouse commits
sion. and ia in the nature of test
case. The United States Express COM
pany, as we'll as several other express
compa nies operating in this state, have
refused to make complete report to
the commission, claiming that they
were under the supervision of the in
terstate commerce commission.
A law passed April 10, 1895, by the
legislature declared all express compa-
MES common carriers, and 1t is upon
this law that the commission demand
reports Of the express companies. The
writ Is returnable Oct. 20.

There is another item to be added to
the contribution that has been levied
on the people by the Plunderbund, that
delectable organization being extended
to- take in the state board Of equaliza-
ton for the levying of this particular
contribution.
When the tax levy is made there can
be no change made in the total amount
to be collected. The boards Of equal
tzation, state and county, may change
the individual items in the assessment
rolls, but cannot increase the total.
Their function is to eQualize. By the
action Of the Republican officials acting
as boards Of equalization in the one
item Of the assessment Of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company in Ram
sey county, the masses Of the people
are obliged to pay in additional taxes
the sum Of $19,844. This through the
consideration extended by the state and
county boards Of equalization to the
company.
Here is a bit of history:
In 1897 the company made a return
to the assessor Of $401, 275. The assessor,
being prompted by threatened action
through the courts, added 100000 as
the value Of the franchise. There was
a good deal Of protest, and the county
board Of equalization raised the assess
ment to $1,681, 367. The tax coIlectabIe
on the return made by the company
would be $S,58728. At the figure to
which it was raised the tax would
amount to $35,981.25. The state board
| Of equalization did not interfere with
the figures
It will be granted that the property
was not worth less this year than it
was last, for a, new line was opened
and an issue Of bonds advantageously
| placed, by reason Of concessions grant
! ed by the municipality. But somehow
! the views of the boards Of equalization
| had changed. The company made a. re-
| turn Of $401, 175-a cut of 500 from the
| previous return. The assessor made It
| SOL, IFS, warned by the courts that the
| franchise was assessable. The county
! board of equalization, nearly all Of the
members of which had a seat in the
! Republican county convention the other
day, met and proceeded to equalize,
The matter Of the street railway COM
| pany's assessment was watched for
| DOar0
never discussed it publicly. In the
last hour Of the last day Of the life
of the county board Of equalization,
Saturday, Aug. Is, without any pre-
vious public discussion of any sort,
| Assemblyman Benson moved that the
assessment Of the street railway COM
pany remain as fixed by the assessor.
Commissioner Hardick seconded the
motion and it was passed.
The rolls went to the state board of
equalization. The Twin City company's
assessment was brought up on Mon
day Of last week. 1t went over, and
the board Of equalization took trip
to Omaha, at whose expense nobody
appears to know, to think the matter
over. When the board reassembled the
governor Of the state took a hand in
the deliberations Of the board, and the
return made by the Ramsey county
board was permitted to stand.
1t is not worth while to go into the
/ merits Of the assessment further than

BACK IN THE DEPARTMENT
r.. III. JOHNSTON AND r.. A. YOUNG
WILL DON UNIFORMS AGAIN
Chief Cook Given Permission to At
tend the Convention Of Chiefs
at st. Louis Next Week.

The fire board met last evening and
concluded that it would be a very de-
sirable thing for Chief Cook to be pres
ent at the convention Of fire chiefs that
is to be held at St. Louis next week,
and they authorized him to go and pay
his own expenses. Aside from settling
this matter the board did little beyond
reinstating in the department two men
who resigned several years ago--R. II.
Johnston and r. A Young. The men
had been engaged in the fire service for
several years and gave up the life be
cause they thought they could do better
for themselves. They did rot do as we'll
as they expected and they came to the
board backed by several indorsen entB
from members Of the city council. They
were put on the rolls as new men and
must start at the bottom Of the lad
der which they had previously climbed.
The department Is in funds and there
was some discussion as to the spend
ing Of some money for the repairing Of
several of the stations. 1T was ducld-
ed that the interior Of the stables at
the central station should bs rebuilt,
but action was deferred until the
amount Of money aVaila Bile for the pur-
pose can be ascertained when the &C.
tOber taxes are collected. The secre-
tary's report shows that the depart
ment has on hand $46, 5S6-the comp
troller's figures are $43,876-the usual
difference in the manner of counting
the funds from different points OF view.
The annual inspection of the depart
ment was deferred until the return Of
the chief from st. Louis.
Chief Cook was instructed to assign
two men to duty at Market hall dur
Ing the industrial exhibition and the
following transfers were made:
John Sexton, from Hook and Ladder
No. to Engine No. S; William Halter,
from Chemical No. to Hook and Lad

TO AMEND EXISTING LAWS.
THAT is THE HOPE OF THE STATE
BOARD OF CORRECTIONS
AT the Quarterly Meeting Yesterday
There Were Considered Reform
Measures of Importance

=
The state board of corrections and
charities held it's fall meeting yester-
day afternoon in the rooms of the
Commercial club transacting a large
amount of routine business and con-
sidering several important amendments
to the laws regulating the care Of state
dependents, which will be proposed to
the legislature in January
The following members of the board
were present: 9. Amundson, st. Peter;
w. w. FOlWell, Minneapolis; Condo
Hamlin, ST. Paul; G. p. Maginnis, Du-
luth: j. H. Rich, Red Wing, and J. B.
Wakefield, of Blue Earth City. Secre-
tary Jackson and State Agent w. A.
Gates were also present.
Several curative amendments were
proposed and referred to a committee
consisting of j. H. Rich, J. F. Jackson
and w. A. Gates to arrange for presen-
tation to the legislature.
One will seek to regulate the depoTta-
ton Of dependent children from other
states. Secretary Jackson and Agent
Gates are both interested in the pass
age OF legislation which will put a
check on importation of dependent chill
dren from the East Secretary Jack
son read in this connection a short pa
per on the work Of the New York So
ciety for the Care of Dependent Chill
dren.
Another bill providing for the reim-
burSement of counties in which persons
were examined or committed to the
state insane asylum and where the res
idence of the subject was in another
county. This will expedite the COM
mitment of insane persons who are
rounded up away from their homes. By
the operation of the bill counties will
be saved the extra cost Of transporta-
ton.
Another bill, which was referred to
the committee on legislation, looks to
the appointment Of a guardian for in
same persons where the subject is q
property owner.
The legislature will doubtless be ask
ed by the board to pass law which
will make it a misdemeanOr to import
nonresident insane into the state. The
proposition was considered and referred
to the same committee.
State Agent Gates submitted his
quarterly report, which had to do with
the care and deportation Of non-resi-
dent insane from the state. The total
number depOrted for the quarter was
sixteen, seven of whom were old cases
and nine new ones more recently re-
ported by judges Of probate in vart-
GUS sections Of the state.
Plans for the Kasota lookup were
passed upon favOrably.
The board decided to hold its next
meeting Dec. 6.
