NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Great Northern Gets a Jury Trial in
MeKibbin's Suit.

The supreme court, Justice Mitchell
writing the opinion, yesterday reversed
the Ramsey county district court, and
granted a new trial to the Great North
ern road in the suit brought against 1t
by Mckibbin & Co. for the value Of a
trunk and furs, $1,000 stolen from the
platform at WahpetOn. The syllabus Of
the decision is:
Joseph McKibbin ct al, copartners as
McKibbin & Co, respondents, VS.. Great
Northern Railway Company, appellant
In an action to recover the value of a
sample trunk and contents consisting of
merchandise belonging to the plaintiffs
which they claim was delivered by one
of their commercial travellers to the de-
PENDANT, as a passenger, to be transport
ed as his baggage on one of its passen-
ger trains.
Held that upon the evidence the ques-
ton of the delivery Of the trunk was
one for the jury.
Also assuming that the trunk had been
delivered to the defendant neither upon
the admitted manner of doing business
between the plaintiffs and defendant nor
upon any general custom of which the
courts can take judicial notice was there
evidence sufficient to justify the court
in holding that the defendant had under
taken to carry merchandise belonging to
the plaintiff as the baggage of their trav-
cling salesman. While courts will take
judicial notice of the fact that it is the
railroad to carry sample trunks and
their contents consisting of merchandise,
as the baggage Of commercial travellers,
which belong, not to the passenger, but
to his employer, yet they will not take
judicial notice of the conditions or linn
dered reversed and new trial granted

TEACHERS MEET SATURDAY
To Consider Proposition to Raise
Money by Subscription.


A special meeting of the teachers of the
city schools will be held at the Central
high school Saturday morning to con-
slider a proposition to be submitted by
Condo Hamline and e. c. Stringer, rep
resenting the Commercial club. to raise
funds to supplement the city fund for
the payment of teachers salaries
The meeting was decided upon at an
executive session of the principals of the
city schools yesterday afternoon, at
which the proposition was submitted by
the committee, and thoroughly discussed
from the standpoint of the principals
The scheme, in a general way, is for a
committee of business men to sign their
names to a circular, which shall be sent
to the parents or guardians of school
fund, 81. or some small amount. with
the assurance that, if the parents, whose
chief interest 1t IS that the schools be
KEPT open for the full school year. dis
play sufficient interest in the matter, the
signers of the circular will see that the
rest of the amount needed is made up
from other funds.
The principals were not a unit upon
the proposition, by any means, and a
two hours discussion ensued. Some were
In favor of each principal taking a vote
of the teachers In his or her school, and
reporting at another meeting of the prin-
cipals and the committee, but it was
finally decided that the proposition should
be reported to the teachers at meeting
Saturday, and then considered to a

AS the C l o b indicated ten days ago,
in discussing the proposals made by the
United States to Russia, Germany and
France for the maintenance of the ''open
door" in their respective spheres of in
huence" in China, the governments of
those powers are inclined to drive sharp
bargain with this country. They have
quietly checked the demands Of the Unit
ed States by asking what trade equiva-
lent they will receive from US In return
and drawing our attention to the fact
that the United States has not adopted
the open door in the Philippine islands.
And, further, as the G also indicat-
ed China herself is yet to be heard from,
and has not yet been consulted as to
any question involving the enlargement
or extension Of any existing treaty rights
Of the United States. The Chinese min
lister at Washington in recent interview
stated in the most positive terms that
the Chinese government had not been ap-
preached in the matter, and he declared
In effect that any proposal which did not
contemplate the adolescence Of China,
touching commercial privileges in the
Chinese empire or treaty rights and
stipulatons, was an effforescence of Oc-
cidentaf cheek, and could not be calmly
contemplated by his government But
apart from the consent of China tC any
arrangement between the United States
and the proud possessors Of spheres of
influence our government is not in a
position to state what tariff regulations
can be made for the Philippines The
islands are not under civil government,
bit are at present controlled by the mill
tary; and, if some day peace is restored
and some form of civil government is
established, the very natural query Of
these foreign powers, as to the opening
Of the ports Of the islands to their trade,
cannot be readily answered until it is de-
cided whether or not they are a part of
the United States in the same sense as
one of our states or territories is a part.
If. as Is claimed, these islands were ac-
qufred by the United States by conquest.
and their requirement subsequently con-
Armed by purchase they must inevitably
be regarded as an integral part of the
United States, as much as Alaska is so
regarded, and, being so, the constitutional
provision requiring uniformity of duties.
lmposts and excuses throughout all
parts of the United States cannot be dis
regarded, and the protective tariff must
apply equally to the Philippine islands
as to Rhode Island
Il looks very much as though the Re-
publican administration will have to con-
TESS that their demand on the powers for
an open door in China carries no com
pensation or equivalent, or else sacrifice
the policy of high protection and sacri-
flee the ''cinch" of their manufacturing
friends on the home market for the priv
hege of ministering to the wants of John
Chinaman

WAS A BUSINESS JOLLY.
Otto Dix's Way of Ringing Up the
Purchases on the Register.

Otto Dix, bartender at Smiths saloon.
176 East Seventh street, who was arrested
on complaint of his employer, on the
charge Of larceny, was discharged in the
municipal court yesterday. Mr.. Smith al
legged that Dix failed to deposit in the
cash register Is cents received for the
sale of pint of whisky.
The computation roll from the register
of the date of the alleged theft was In
evidence and failed to show any diScrep-
ancy. Dix claimed he had rung up the
whisky sale, but that, following a custom
of bartenders had registered the amount
in several small installments. This Gus
tom was INDUCED in, Dix explained, so
the frequent ringing of the bell would
lead the proprietor to believe he was do
ing rushing business. Several small
registrations, aggregating Is cents, ap-
peared on the roll, and Judge Orr held
that there was no evidence to show
shortage, consequently directing Dixs
discharge.
