SWEDEN IS STIRRED.
Feeling Against the Gar Is Kept Mt
Fever Heat

STOCKHOLM, April 22.-Swedish feel
ing toward Russia in consequence of the
practical abrogation of the Finnish con-
sttutlon Is Kept at fever heat by the
constant arrival of emigrants, some of
whom will settle down in the various
scandinavian countries, while many more
will soon take ship for the United
States. The reports these emigrants
bring of the brutality of Gov Gen. Bob
rikon and of the activity of his agents
in suppressing Finnish free speech belle
the assertions of the Russian government
that the liberties of the Films have been
abridged in no essential respect by the
move toward complete Russianization.
The imperial censor is determined that
the cars ukase shall not be criticised.
Preliminary notice has been served on
the Aabo Tidning, the Wasa Tidning and
the Haneo Tidning, three of the infiuen-
tial papers of the grand duchy that no
further recriminations of the imperial
government will be tolerated.

Rank and Security Company.

As one steps into the New York Life
building through the Minnesota street
entrance, on the ground floor, he finds
at his right hand an institution which
has been closely identified with the his
tory of Minnesota for forty-five years
the Second National Bank of ST. Paul
1t Is the pioneer banking institution of
the city and is magnificently housed, as
Is becoming an institution which is the
development of the brain of such leaders
as ID. A. Monfort, E. s. Edgerton, Com
modore hittson and other sturdy men of
financial genius, whose names always will
be linked with the history of the city.
The quarters occupied by the bank are
not outrivaled by anything of the sort
IN the Northwest, and equaled by few
The visitors attention is attracted first
by the perfect appointments of the Mace
and the shower of light which enters it
through nine broad windows which ex-
tend almost from floor to ceiling
Then the eye wanders to the walls and
ceiling and finds much of an artistic char
acter to please 1t. The side walls are
of highly polished mahogany to height
of about six feet, followed by study in
green, extending to the moulding. Be
tween the moulding ard ceiling is fresco
work, the pattern being a gilt leaf on a
groundwork of green. The carving on
the mahogany is notably excellent.
An innovation which is making the
bank decidedly popular with the gentler
sex is an exclusive ladies' department
This department. is entirely separate from
the main floor, where general business is
transacted and has an entrance upon
Sixth street. There is q special window
Tor ladies', and there are writing tables,
etc. for their exclusive use.
The bank is provided with three heavy
vaults of the latest and best make
Among the archives stored in the base
ment are records extending back to 1854,
IN which year the bank was organized.
Inc officers of the bank are: D. A.
Monfort, president; Charles F. Mailer,
vice president; F. D. Monfort, cashier;
Z. H. Buckley, assistant cashier About
sixteen tellers, bookke .pers and other
clerks are employed
The spacious offices In the south side of
the Minnesota street entrance, opposite
the Second National bank, are occupied
py the Security Trust company. The Sc
curltN trust company does large farm
loan business and disposes of it's mort
cages to investors. 1t is remarka Bile
fact that in the ten years of its business
no purchaser of these mortgages has ever
mad occasion to foreclose in q single
instance This company also pays the
highest going rates on time deposits It
also acts as executor, guardian, receiver.

'ment houses, and is said to have a larger
list of choice properties under his con-
troll than any other ST. Paul agent. He
is most optimistical, and thinks the time
has come to buy real estate, and advises
all his friends to take advantage of the
bargains that are being daily offered, for,
In his estimation, the bottom in prices
has been reached, and the upward move
ment fairly begun. His conclusions seem
we'll grounded, for the sales made in his
office during the past thirty days amount
to nearly 100000. Nearly all of his sales
have been made to shrewd buyers for
Investment purposes.

Colony of Lawyers.
When one gets into the elevator and
is carried up toward the sky he passes
through a colony of lawyers, whose
offices begin in the second floor and ex-
tend to the tenth. The New York Life
is essentially a lawyers building, and
the number of legal practitioners who
have headquarters in it is constantly in
creasing. There is Inc law library on
the third floor.
Judge Charles E. Flandrau, who has
been identified with the growth and de-
velopment of st. Paul since 1858, is the
occupant of Room 401 There is hardly
a man, woman or child In the city who
does not know Judge Flandrau, and he
has the respect and confidence of the
entire community. He is one of the few
men still living who took part in the
defense of New Ulm during the Indian
outbreak in 1852. The intrepidity which
characterized him on that occasion has
marked his entire life, and made him
the master of every situation which he
has encountered
Stepping into Rooms 403 and 404 the Wis
itor finds himself in the Office of George
c. Squires, one of the best-known attor-
perience has covered broad field in the

The st. Louis Conference

The democratic national committee
at it's meeting in st. Louis on Thurs
day disappointed many projectors.
Nearly all forecasts included a serious
discussion of issues, with a view to de-
termining the probable complexion Of
the platform for 1900. But in this line
of effort the committee did nothing
in particular, and did it very we'll" It's
deliberations were chiefly confined to
ways and means and to party organiza-
ton. This evinces admirable discre-
ton. 1t is too early as yet to fix upon
issues, and the national committee has
no authority in that direction. Many
enlightening events may be expected
to happen between this date and the
time when the platform will have to be
constructed.
But although the committee did not
talk about issues, MI. Bryan, who at
tended the meeting as a proxy, made
some remarks at the close Of the con
ference in which he did not display the
slightest timidity. He is as ardently de-
vited to 16 to 1 as he was when he took
the field for that issue three years ago.

A Noisy and Enthusiastic Reception
Given this Trophy of the Spanish
War on Her Arrival at Norfolk.

Norfolk, Va, May 27.-Amidst the
booming of cannon and the screaming
of steam whistles from tugs, bay
and ocean liners, the captur-
ed Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes ar
rived in port this afternoon and ac-
companying her was a flotilla of thir-
ty-six tugs, all profusely decorated
with flags. Cannon saluted as she was
lowed through the harbor, and the
gunboats kept their whistles in an al
most continuous scream from the time
she rounded Lambert's point until the
navy yard was reached. 1t was A per-
feet din-as noisy a welcome as could
possibly be desired. Thousands Of peo-
pie witnessed the procession through
the harbor, they being all along the
water front on both sides Of the river
and upon housetops. She was given a
tumultuous welcome as She came up
the harbor. A wealth of flags and ouEt-
ing were flying from the escort. Every
craft tied down the whistle lever, and
| there was a babel of siren notes.
The Mercedes was saluted by every
passing steamer and acknowledged
each greeting with a blast of her whis-
| tie. The vessel carried on her deck q
| small engine used for pumping out her
| bilges, and to this has been attached
a whistle made out of six-inch shells.

| Slowly the procession, amid deafen-
ing notes, moved up to the navy yard,
where are the monitors Terror and Pu-
ritan, the cruiser San Francisco, the
| training ships Essex and Alliance, be-
sides other war vessels, and the crews

the vessel.
A fact which impresses one on first
going aboard the Mercedes is the great
| amount of woodwork on her, but while
| this exposed her to imminent danger
| of fire from American shells, it is note
worthy that she was the only one OF
the Spanish vessels which was not set
On fire.
h ship was griveously mansled by
the shots which ploughed their way
through her, and still shows their eff
feet on her. One of these shots, said to
have been a twelve inch from the
Texas, truck the Mercedes On the star
board quarter, just behind the forward
sponsor IN the main deck, and burst

aboard her and two Hontoria 5-inch
guns, one Of which is damned with a

CHANGE NECESSARY
Committee from Aoard of Health Ins
spect City Prison and Say IL Must be
Remodeled.

1t is very likely that the city prison
will soon be remodeled, as the board Of
health are to recommend and urge such
a step as highly essential from a hy-
gienic point.
The remodeling will chiefly be as to
the cells, which are now about half a
dozen in number and are air tight, you
might say, with the exception OF a
small barred window. OF course, this
makes the ventilation bad and then,
too, the sanitation is very poor. A COM
mittee from the board of health, con-
sisting of Dr.. G. G. Thomas, DR.. Frank
III. Russell, and DR.. w. D. Mcmillan
superintendent of health, officially Wis
tied and inspected the prison during tne
nast week and came to the conclusion
that a change is absolutely necessary
In the place OF h cells will very
probably be put the usual prison lror
cage which is both secure and health
full.

The Work of Cuban MalcOntents

Washington, May 27-General Brooke
made To report today to the war de-
partment upon the reported non-suc-
cess of the effort to induce Cuban SOL
diers in Havana to lay down their arms
and accept h gratuity provided for
them. The officials are greatly disap-
peared, put feel that they have done all
that in fairness could be expected of
them and, if the remaining Cuban SOL
diers are of the same mind as those
in Havana, h government will not
long delay a withdrawal of the offer.
The suspicion is growing here that
while the leaders of the opposition to
the policy of the United States in this
matter do not contemplate the fool
hardy attempt at instruction they are
trying to retain the Cuban army in Or
ganization and within their call, so
that they may dominate the affairs Of
the island by force, if need be, when
the United, States forces are withdrawn
and the independence Of the island is
acknowledged. Another explanation Of
fered is that the existence OF a large
Cuban army has been exaggerated.

Interview Believed to be Connected
With the Lancaster Cases

Trenton, N. j., May 26.-Lawyer John
Semple, of Camden, visited the New
Jersey state prison this afternoon and
held an extended conversation with
William Brockway, the noted counter
feiter, who is serving a ten-years' tern.
The conversation took place in the
presence of the prison official. The
purpose of the visit was to ascertain
from Brockway what leniency was
shown by the federal government to
counterfeiters who surrendered the
plate in their possession.
Brockway said he had his sentence
suspended in the sixties by surren-
dering a counterfeit plate of a govern
ment bond, and he believed he would
have escaped his present punishment
if he had been able to surrender the
plate, which the government is salts
fed is at the bottom of East river.
Semple's visit to Brockway is believed
to have some connection with the trial
Of some of the men who are accused
of connection with the Lancaster, Pa.
counterfeiting case.
