Cubans Show Improvement.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, who arrived in Washington Satur-

view said that the people of Cuba are
steadily improving under the existing
protectorate of the United States and
are slowly but surely rebuilding their
war-wasted homes and repairing their
crippled fortunes. Life and property
are secure in Cuba, owing largely, he
said, to the salutary restraint exercised
by American military authority. He
thinks the time not ripe yet, however,
for purely Cuban government.

CANNOT MOVE

The state game and fish commission
has no authority to any part of its
annual appropriation of $4,000 for the
purpose of erecting new buildings for the
fish hatchery at the Itasca state park ac-
cording to an opinion written by Atty
Gen. Douglas. The commission had about
decided to move the hatchery from ST.
Paul to the park in question as soon as
new buildings could be put up.
Under the present agreement the state
is paying nearly the value of the pres
ent site every month in rent and has
been doing so for over eight years. The
present buildings occupied by the hatch
cry are mere shells. In view of the at
torney-generals decision, however, the
hatchery will remain at Willow Brook
until the expiration OF the present con-
tract in 1901

MINNESOTA NEWS.
WILL TEST THE LAW.

The report comes from Duluth that the
assessors of that city will next spring be
ordered to place upon the county tax rolls
all railroad property of whatsoever ma
ture with a view to collecting taxes
thereon for the exclusive benefit of st.
Louis county. -
1t is explained that this course has Deen
suggested by reason Of a decision recent
ly rendered by the supreme court OF
Iowa, in which it was held that a gross
earnings tax upon insurance companies
was unconstitutional. Inasmuch as the
constitution of the state of Iowa Is en-
tirely different from that of Minnesota,
it is not easy to conceive why the Duluth
people should obtain the impression that
their proposed action would be success
full.
The railway gross earnings tax has
been in vogue in Minnesota many years
and has proved highly satisfactory IN the
main, and it would be rather surprising
if supreme court could be found to
sanction any decision declaring it uncon-
stitutional. 1t is known, however, that
Duluth is eager to abrogate the system
and substitute some method which would
be of benefit to itself.
In st. Louis county there are enormous
railroad interests. and It would mean
thousands of dollars of taxes in the
treasury of the county. In fact, any sys-
tenn of direct taxation, under which the
taxes would he paid into the treasures
of the different counties, would be OF
great benefit to all large Cities the larger
the city, the greater the benefit.

WILL FIGHT THE LAW.


The supreme court having upheld the
Grindeland law, the commission men are
preparing to continue the fight. The law
requires them to give bond and pro-
vides other irksome regulations relative
to the conduct of their business. Palmer
q Beck the st. Paul attorneys who
fought the Redpath case in the courts,
have been instructed to apply to the SUI
preme court for a rehearing. Until the
law is knocked out or materially
amended, the commission men say they
will be practically out of business.
At the present time many dealers de-
clare their intention of giving up entire
ly the commission business, as long as
the present law stands. What they handle
in the future will be bought outright.
One prominent commission man stated
that the many so-called commission deal
ers in the city of Minneapolis did not in
reality handle much goods on commits
sion, and he went SO far as to say that
the business done on commission on the
produce exchange did not amount to Is
per cent of the volume of the business.
There are three points in the law that
the court did not decide upon.

IastNight-One OF the Brothcrs in
n Critical Condition = The Gang
Rode Away on Stolen Horses.

Intelligence reached the city last
night OF terrible assault and robbery
near West Liberty. In which the VIC
tins were two brothers, Henry and
Fritz Papa, who were visited at their
home, on Short Creek, about three miles
from West Liberty, between and
o'clock, by q gang OF masked men. who.
after badly beating the brothers robbed
them, and then rode away on horses,
stolen from the Papa home.
The affair created great excitement
at West Liberty. whence the particulars
were sent by telephone to police head
quarters. 1t was stated that the Pap
pas had the reputation OF keeping q
considerable amount OF money ut their
home, but how much money was taken
couldn't be ascertuined, us both BROTH
ers were beaten too badly to pay any
attention to that detail. The gang wore
masks, so that no member Of 1t was rec
ognized. The local police were asked
to keep look out for the thieves.
According to the story sent from West
Liberty. the gang was three in number.

belief that there were three men, 1t
isn't known what route they took In
leaving The Pappas put up stubborn
resistance when attacked. and the vii
laIns bound theim. In addition to beat
ing them. Then the gang plundered
the house.
One OF the brothers managed to re-
lease himself after the gang had gone,
and making his way to neighbours
he spread the alarm. The other brother
hadn't Jared so well, and 1t was stated
that his injuries were SO great that he
had little chance Of recovery. The az
fair created intense excitement last
night In that part OF the county. and
the perpetrators Of the outrage would
have been roughly dealt with II they
had been apprehended. The only de-
scription that could be given was that
the fellows were OF medium size, the
masks excluding sight OF their faces.
but it is thought they were familiar
with the surroundings.
Later. It was learned that between
$500 and $500 was secured by the rob
bcrs. who compelled Fritz Papa to
show them the place where the money
was concealed. Henry Pappa's injuries
are serious. his hose was nearly sever
ed and hangs down over his lips. The
two Pappas and boy were bound by
ropes before the robbers left. but Fritz
succeeded in releasing himself and
aroused the neishborhood.
