The Grand Army wisely refused to
take counsel of the Tanners, and make a
raid on Commissioner Evans. 1t has been
clear enough for long time that the real
authors of the movement against Mr..
Evans were not the pensioners but the
pension attorneys who had not received
the consideration they thought they were
entitled to, and were trying to use the
Grand Army as oats paw. Tanner of
course sympathizes with them, for he is
an attorney himself, and Furthermore the
man who boosted that as commissioner Of
pensions he would clean out the surplus,
could hardly be expected to approve an
administration of the office that was dis
posed to protect the rights of all the peo-
pie, as well as the pensioners.

When all the chat is blown away the
controversy between the British and the
Beers amounts to just this; that English
men in tine TransVaal want the naturali-
cation laws changed SO as to shorten by
several years the time they have TO re-
main In the country before they can vote
The Transyaal is willing to accede pro-
vided Great Britain will disclaim any
right to interfere In the internal affai RS
of the country, accepting the reduction
as an act of grace and not as a right.
England win not accede to the condition,
and proposes to compel by force change
in the naturalization laws. Doubtless
II she is successful she will wind up by
making the Transvaal a vassal state. In
deed that WAS probably the end in view
when MIR, Cham bsrlain began the agita-
ton. Ever since Jameson's raid failed
there has been an earnest endeAvor on
the part of the iingoss to pick "a quarrel
with the little Republic to get pretext
for doing what Jameson failed to do.
His experience showed that was too ig

OUTING OF THE BUILDERS Ex-

To the Editor Of the Press:
Thursday afternoon twenty-five mem
ters of the Builders Exchange went to
Underwood Park, and at p. IN. partook
Of shore dinner. Josiah @. Ward, the
president OF the association, and Nathan
Il. Redlon and SylVanus b. Bourne, com.
mittee of arrangements were present
looking after the entertainment, which
was all that could lie desired As looked
into the faces OF the memters of the
Builders Exchange it dawned upon me
that our beautiful and beloved city of
Portland was the work of these skiIful
artiticers, and level headed oontrac tors.
While they will figure ON contracts, each
for his own interest, alter the manner of
honorable business men. when TREY meet
as an association they are cordially friend .
ly, and their figures around the social
board are all alike.
Bere l saw masons, carpenters, marble
workers, plumber skaters, painters,
sheet iron workers. and worker in brass,
gas hbters, plasterers. in short every
branch of skilled mechanics necessary to
take a cellar and wall it, and erect upon
liz one of those magnificent blocks or
hotels or residences which Adorn our
streets and which are the admiration of
visitors, and of which we as citizens are
so Justly proud. IL was SAID long ago by
an eminent architect of New York as he
inspected the Falmouth Hosel, built with
the money of that regal business man. ].
b. Brown, that there were no better me-
chanios in the world than the Portland
mechanics; and MIR. Brown, always
mindful OF Portland's business interest,
employed no other.

tanning Some Kind OF a Protest.
WASHINGTON, D4tC!.N June 2O.-The
investigation of pine land matters in Min
nesota has not given satisfaction to Sem
ators Davis and Nelson and several of
the representatives. Thisi'was evidenced
by the receipt today of a, telegram from
these gentlemen protesting against the
methods pursued by Inspector Nessler
and Agent Jenkins. 20 el
1t cannot be learned at the interior de-
partment on what grounds the protest is
based, as the officials refuse to discuss
the matter any further than to admit that
a protest has been made.
1t is expected that the report of the
commission will be forthcoming in a
short time, as Mr.. Jenkins has gone to
his home in Iowa. He will probably come
to Washington to prepare the report of
what he found. The preliminary reports
has been found in the dead-and-down
timber camps, but just how much cannot
be learned beyond the. first report that
was given out about the finding of 1000, 600
feet of green timber. 1t is understood
tina, all green timber will be settled for
and criminal prosecutions avoided.

Public Examiner Pope's plan for an in
dependent organization of the state banks
was turned down by the Minnesota Bank
ers association yesterday. Gen. Pope has
been very solicitious that the national
banks should not outstrip the state banks
in Importance, and has urged their or
ganlzation in order to give them addi-
tional strength.
The examiner asked that committee of
the Bankers association meet with him
yesterday to discuss the question, but the
bankers were unwilling to do so.
Ihe greater part of yesterday mornings
session was taken up in the discussion
OF farm mortgages and estimates of land
values as basis of real estate loans. II.
l.. Moore, of the Minnesota Loan and
Trust company; c. D. Griffith, of Sleepy
Eye; j. E. Bell, of the Hennepin County
Savings bank, and Mr.. Haven, of Waver-
~, took the leading parts
In the election of officers A A Crane,
of the National Bank of Commerce. was
chosen president; J. c. Hunt, of Duluth,
vice president; Charles W. Folds, secre-
tary, and George H. Prince treasurer. s.
L. Prentiss, of Winona, was made the
representative of the First congressional
district O nthe executive committee; c..
d. Griffths, of Sleepy Eye, of the Sec
ond, and George DuToit, of Chaska, of
the Third.
The bankers and their ladies were tend
cred a lunch at the Minneapolis club at
noon, after which they were given a
drive about the city and to the clubhouse
al Lake Calhoun.
Gen. E. M. Pope, superintendent of
banks, seen at his home at the Marlbor-
ough last evening by the G b e, denied
the statement which appeared in an even
ing paper to the effect that there was dis
cord between himself and the Minnesota
that he sent message to the West hotel
ing the organization of state bankers
assC citation, or that he was turned down
as stated.
There was, however. meeting of state
bankers in his Office yesterday afternoon
anC plan for separate organization
of state banks was formulated and COM
mittee of two from each congressional
district appointed to canvass the dis
trict with a view to ascertaining the sem
timent of all state bankers on the SUBJ
ject. The meeting was held as result
of the circular sent out by Gen. Pope
some time ago and published in the
G. 0 b e.
There are 16S state banks in the state
and about fifty national banks, and there
is a general feeling that the interests OF
the state and national bankers are not
identical, and hence the plan for the new
orgs nization.
Temporary officers will be appointed by
the committee to serve until a conven-
ton of the state bankers can be called
and permanent body formed. 10

PULASKI, Va, June 20.-A duel be-
tween boys of nineteen, resulting in the
death of both, took place yesterday at
WygaPs Bridge, west of this place. John
Raines and Madison Pratt were bathing
with a party when Raines accidentally
kicked Pratt. Angry words followed, and
both left the water, ran to their clothing,
secured revolvers and began firing. Pratt
died almost instantly, but Raines, who
was shot in the abdomen, fingered until
morning.
