CLIMBING OVER THE raLBo.RI

CLIMBING OVER THE TAILBOARD
One who listened to the debate on the
Roberts bill to perpetuate bounty giving
to the sugar trust, whatever else It's pre-
tense Is. would be warranted in conclud-
Ing, IL the debates were his only source
of information. that Minnesota was tax
Ing the lead In the Incubation. Matching
heard the pathetic pleading of Lawyer
Yale and others for aid to the poor farmer
he would not have suspected that the poor
farmer Is not IN it even little bit, but
that, as usual. behind the poor farmer
turks the sleek jobber who always farms
the farmer. Were he an unsophisticated
fellow this listener would be charmed
by the way in which these lawyers and
editors and merchants strove and ranted
and beloved, and voted money out Of
the treasury. all for the good of the poor
were a lot OF paupers. he would be war;
ranted by the pleas made for them.
But the sorry fact is that Minnesota is
just falling in at the tail end of the pro-
cession. 1t is beginning where other
countries are leaving off 1t is climbing
over the tailboard when the drivers are
getting down from the front seat. At the
very time when all this verbosity was
being emptied upon the heavy air of the
house the representatives of Germany
Austria and Belgium were letting 1t be
known that their consultations had
reached point where it might be stated
that those countries would agree to abol-
ish their whole sugar bounty business.
For several years Germany and Austria
have been trying to throw off the policy
Bismarck began of encouraging sugar
beet growing and sugar production with
state bounties. So far these efforts have
failed because the assent of France was
deemed essential, and France, like our
own protectionists. was welded TO her
idols and refused. Now the three nations
have decided to act without regard to
France, and this year will doubtless see
the abandonment of d bounty policy
which has only resulted in giving the peo-
pie of other countries cheaper sugar, at
the cost OF the treasures whence the
bounties are drawn. Minnesota Is years
behind.

MIGHTY SMALL BUSINESS.

An acorn shell is a tiny thing. but it
is large enough to comfortably hold some
legislatures. When Bank Examiner Ken
yon handed his office in the state capitol
over to Mr.. Pope IN January the fund
to carry on the work Of the department
for five months amounted to $500 Mr.
Pope called the attention of the legisla-
tive body to this deplorable state of
things and asked for sufficient funds to
conduct the business of examining finan-
cial institutions in a careful and thorough
manner. The legislature has shown no
disposition to put cash to the credit of
the office, and Examiner Pope has been
literally forced to discharge his assist
ants. all Of whom are competent and in
dustrious. Thus block is placed in the
path of one Of the most important in
situations of the commonwealth. The leg
islature has carried partisanship to a de-
gree of niggardliness which will meet
with no Endorsement among fair minded
men anywhere In Minnesota.

fettle than ever. in view Of the present
American tour which continues until
June 2, when the band goes to Manhattan
Beach for the season, and next year will

uses just Sousa and the band were
about to sail for London, where the Euro
pean tour was to have opened. For the
two Easter Sunday concerts april p

opera house, afternoon and evening, spe-
cial programmes are provided which
Sousa makes as nearly as possible ap-
propriate to the day.
The appearance of Sol Smith Russell at
the Metropolitan is announced for Monday
night, and to still add to the interest of
this engagement. Mr.. Russell will appear
in an entirely new comedy, entitled "Hon
John GrigSby,'' the latest work of the
successful playwright, Charles Klein. 1t is
said that Mr.. Russell has made great
preparations for the ''Hon. John Grigsby"
and has engaged a notable company OF
we'll known artists to support him.
Nine. Modjeska, the only really great
artist that the tragic stage can boast just
now, will be seen at the Metropolitan the
last half of the ensuing week. The exact
arrangement Of the repertoire is

GRAND
Through the Breakers" a new melo-
drama by Owen Davis. derives its name
from the strong situation In the third act.
From cave, high on a rock, the heroine
escapes to a passing ship by means of
life basket suspended over the roaring
waters by frail and tossing life line.
The mechanical sea-set used in this act
is spoken Of as marvel Of stage allusion,
the rolling-in of the surf never failing to
win bursts of applause from every audi
ence, which sees the play. With its
strongly sensational scenery and a cast
of such real strength, Through the
Breakers" should be sure of a good greet
ing on its opening night here tomorrow
at the Grand.
Hoyt's "a Midnight Bell'' will complete
it's engagement at the Grand with per-
formances today and tonight.

Cured. A large crowd collected to well
come the arrival of the train from South
ampton, this evening, which brought
three of the survivors, Messrs. David
King, London merchant; Heilborn and
Greener, all of whom were wrapped in
great rags, and bore evident traces Of
their sufferings. They were Immediate
ly surrounded and anXiously questioned.
Mr. King who was among the last to
leave the ship, said:
1.-The greater part of yesterday was
exceedingly pleasant, but toward even
ing we encountered a mist, which soon
developed into a dense fog. There was,
however no apprehension Suddenly a
great shock told us that the Stella had
struck the rocks. Screams rent the air,
but the GOODNESS of the officers consid-
erably allayed the excitement. The crew
behaved splendidly, lowering the boats
with greatest promptitude. Every wom-
an was supplied with a life belt. At
first we thought there would be time for
all the boats to clear away, but suddenly
the boilers burst with a deafening re-
port, rending the ship amidships."
Mr.. King and two firemen, Osborn and
Bailey. were the last to leave the vessel.
He had just given up a life belt to aid
a clergyman's wife. and was literally
pulled into a boat by Second Mate Rey-
nOlOS, WHO was INSTRUMENTAL III saving
many nves/ The boat, with twenty-five
persons, drifted for fifteen hours in the
Intense cold and was finally picked up
by the Great Western railways steamer

children clinging to it.

Slaughter of FiIipinos and Appeal of
AgufnaIdO to Admiral Dewey

AgufnaliO to Admiral Dewey
WASHINGTON, March 31.-A copy Of
the Japanese Times of Feb. u, published
at Toxic, has been received here 1t
contains an interview with an American
named Croker, who may be Prof Crock
er. Of Columbia college. who was an eye
witness of the first two days fighting
about Manila, which began Feb. g. He
indicates that the Filipinos in the city I'M
doubtedly contemplated rising en- masse,
but failed to carry out the plan of CO.
operation with those in arms outside the
city. He says that IL the rebels had de-
stroyed the water supply of the city it
would have entailed great hardship upon
the Americans, and attributes their fail
ure to do so to their regard for the well
being of the Filipinos in the city
During the fighting Aguinaldo," says
Mr. Croker, who is supposed to be at
Malolos, communicated with Admiral
Dewey. He sent him message in which
he said: For Gods sake stop the firing
and disclaiming. all responsibility in con-
nection with the Starting of the trouble.
Dewey, however, refused compliance. and
I think Aguinaldo is now accepting the
situation. : 81
'.There was zsor.le talk of Aguinaldo
resigning and washing his hands of the
whole affair." bIlt do not think he will
do SO. The opinion is that it was not
Aguinaldo who precipitated this thing,
but his followers, whom he could not con-
troll" -
The press reports made no mention at
the time of Aguinaldo's appeal to Dewey
to stop the firing MIR. Croker left Ma

are very wild. He says there were from

FRANCE ON GUARD.
Much Activity Shown in Strengthen
ing Armamenfs md Garrisnna


ing Armaments and Garrisons.
MARSEILLES, March 31-The French
military and naval authorities are dis
playing unusual activity. During the last
few months the coast and harbor de-
lenses in the vicinity of Marseilles have
been materially strengthened. Long
range guns of the newest and most per-
fected pattern and heaviest caliber-
some Of fourteen-inch bore-have been
mounted in the forts commanding the
bay and the entrance to the harbor.
The augmentation of troops necessi-
tated by this increase of armament has
already been effected, the new men being
chosen from a contingent Of the local
garrison trained in the use of the new
artillery.
In order to test the efficiency of the
new equipment and the training of the
men, Gen. Metzinger yesterday ordered
quick mobilization of the fortress gar
rison, and expressed himself as highly
satisfied with the result of the expert
ment.
