The New York Herald's Manila cor
respondent says the collapse Of the
Philippine rebellion is yet far of, but
before he gets through describing con-

that the end was brought much nearer
by tae recent vigorous campaign. Since
In that campaign there was accom-
pllshed IN three weeks what the pessl-
mist correspondent said 1t would take
at least six months TO do, there Is i'm
minent peril OF another mistake OF
prophecy in his calculations.

Is there a union, or alliance or UNDER
standing between Great Britain and the
United States? This question is a
proper one, for Joseph Chamberlain in
his Leicester speech has referred to the
two nations IN these words, THE union,
the alliance, Il you please. the under
standing between these two great ma
lions Is indeed a guarantee Of the
peace OF the world" He spoke OF this
union, or alliance. as an accomplished
fact and as something Of great po-
tency In International politics. II ac-

GROCERs ARE PREPARED
In Case They Are Accused of VfO-
Iating GrindeIand Law.

Retail grocers of the state are work
ing on a line of defense in the event that
a test case Is made against any one of
them under the Grindeland law P. G.
Hanson, president of the Retail Grocers
and General Merchants association of
the state, last week sent out a circular
letter outlining the effort being made by
the commission men to apply the Grinde-
land law, to retail grocers and to compel
them to put up bond. The following
questions are asked each grocer:
do you, as a shipper, consider a retail
grocer as a produce commission dealer?"
Were you ever charged a commission
by retail grocer to whom you sent pro-
duce?" 1r~59 75s.sr
In every case "a negative answer has
been received, and Mr., Hanson says:
81 think it will be impossible to make
this application to the law There is not
a grocer in 1.-The twin cities. that does a.
commission business. They all merely
buy from the country shipper and pay
him the cash. Once in a while we have
more produce than we can handle and we
sell it to the commission men here in
town. but We have first paid the country
producer direct for it, It is impossible
to apply the law to US. AS an organiza-
ton the state association is not entering
the fight one way or another. Some in
formation is being collected to be of ser
vice in case a move is made to compel
grocers to put up bonds. Of course, If the
grocers have to put up bonds there are a
great many who could not and still more
who would not do it, and that would I'M
doubtedly throw all the business into the
hands of the commission men. 1t would
be great thing for them. However, /
have No fear it can be done.

MINNIE AT PARIS EXPO.
Gossip as to Prospective Exhibits by
the State.

Several Of the state departments have
been asked to make exhibits of their rec
ords and present a compilation of sta
tist1cs for display at the Paris exposition
next year.
Secretary Jackson, of the state board of
Corrections and Charities, has been re-
quested by the department of social
economy to make an exhibit and state
ments have been prepared, briefly sum
marking the correctional and charitable
work done in Minnesota.
Secretary Smalley, of the dairy and food
commission, has received a letter from
H. E. Alvord, chief of the dairy division,
asking for a county map showing the
relative location Of railroads, creameries,
etc. A map. of Fillmore county, by towns,
has been prepared and forwarded to be
sent to Paris next spring.
The dairy department has also been
asked if it will be possible to make a dis
play of Minnesota butter at the fair. AS
far as the state is concerned, it will not
be possible, as there is no money avail
able for that purpose. The request has
been answered with the addresses Of a
half dozen Of the best Minnesota butter
makers, with the request that the exhibit
collectors correspond with these men.

Of F. H Setter, of the registry DEPART

Commissioner Spencer to the belief that
Clerk Setter was mistaken.
The only witnesses were Magnusson

the John A. T. Magnusson, for whom
the registered letter was intended He
said he had frequently received registered
mail at the postofflce, and once during
the summer received from Sweden a let
ter containing 100 crowns, the exact
amount in the letter that disappeared.
His receipt for this letter and others
were In evidence, and he was required
to give a specimen of his handwriting.
His writing and that on the receipt for
the letter that went astray Is similar.

Furthermore, the receipt for the missing
letter contained the full name of John A.

ing at IA East Seventh street, and his
arrest came about through what appears
to have been an attempt to swindle John

the Kasota Magnusson received word
from his relatives that they had sent him
100 crowns to st. Paul by registered let

had been delivered to some one, who duly
receipted for it, and in the course of an
investigation Clerk Setter, of the regis

The projected new Mankato, st. Cloud
& Duluth railway was the subject of a
conference held at the Merchants hotel
last evening between a committee of
prominent men from the three cities
chiefly interested. The gentlemen from
MankatO were l.. Patterson, ]. B. Mayer,
J. N. Hall, L.. P. Hunt and Mayor F. M.
Currier5 and w. B. Mitchell, of st. Cloud,
and Capt A H Reed. of Glencoe Presi-
dent A. b. Stickney, of the Chicago Great
Western, was also present.
1t was decided to assume the old or
ganization of the Duluth Glencoe &
Southwestern, the charter of which was
issued thirteen years ago. The road has
never laid any rails, although it has
maintained its organization since it was
authorized. The present officers are:
President, A. H. Reed, Glencoe; treas
urer, E. A. ChiIds, Glencoe directors,
H. Wardworth, Glencoe, and William
Vanderbilt, New York 1t was decided
to perfect the new organization Dec. 5,
at Glencoe, the date set for the annual
meeting of the old company. The board
of directors will be increased from five to

Hunt, L. Patterson and J. B. Mayer were
decided upon as the Mankato directors
The six gentlemen who Will represent the
other towns interested will be selected
on the date of the annual meeting.
The proposed route of the new road is
southwesterly from Duluth, touching the
south shore of Mile Laos lake, to St
Cloud, through Maine Prairie Fairhaven
Delano, Silver Lake and Arlington. From
Glencoe the road will run due south to
Mankato. There is some talk of eX-
tending the road west from Mile Laos
lake to Little Falls, but it is not likely
that it will be accomplished.
Surveys Wilr be made as early in the
spring as possible, and 1t is the aim of the
projectors to have construction started
early in the summer. 1t is said that no
other road in the state would traverse a
better agricultural country, and it will
give a direct route from Mankato, st.
Cloud and Glencoe to Duluth.
The north and south line from st.
Cloud to MankatO would furnish an out
let for such wheat as would come to st.
Cloud direct to the Chicago market via

new road goes through the Great West
