State vs.. Express Companies.

The state will at once proceed
against the express companies doing
business in Minnesota on account OF
the refusal of the latter to comply
with the gross earnings tax law. Ex-
ception is taken by the companies to
the bill, increasing the rate from to
5 per cent. The legislature raised the
rate from 3 to ~, but after the bill
was signed the figure was seen to be
per cent.
The last statement of the express
companies regarding their gross earn
ings, as shown by the legislative
manual, is as follows: Great North
ern, taxable receipts, $67,s42.7s, re-
sulting in a tax at per cent. of
$2,035.2S; United States, receipts, $751;
1880, and tax of $1,737.59; American,
receipts, $37,702.66, and tax of ST.
131.0S; Northern Pacific, $26, 5OO.94,
and tax of $795.O2; Adams, receipts,
$9,406, and tax of $282.1s; Wells, Far
go, receipts, $2,497.14, and tax of
$$74.91. The total tax from all com
panies was $6,O56.O6.

Various propositions of settlement by ar
bitration have been put forward by per-
sons not directly connected with the min
ing business. but thus far practically no
progress has been made in this direction.
most noteworthy feature of the strike
is the remarkably good behavior of the
strikers, UP to this time, especially when
it is considered that the claim is made
that upwards of 900 mine workers are
idle in the anthracite region.
There have Of course. been few dis
turbances, but none of character at all
serious with the exception of the one at
Shenandoah on Friday last when striker
was killed during a clash between a num-
Der of strikers and sheriff's posse.
Affairs were quiet today throughout
the region. A shooting ARRAY occurred
near Scranton in which three men were
wounded, but the participants who were
Italians, were all strikers, and the ARRAY
had no direct connection with the present
strike.

plant, of the Delaware and Hudson, who
is IL.
"Mr. Morgan is working hand in glove
with Senator Hanna to bring about
settlement o. the anthracite coal strike,
and report got abroad in Wall Street
after the conference that the strike had
been settled.
president Truesdale. of the Lacka-
wanna, discussing the settlement report,
said:
"sThere IS not word of truth in it.
AS q matter of fact. we are no nearer
settlement today than we have ever been.
We started in to fight the miners union,
and we propose to continue that fight to
the end.
" AS for the report of a conference of
the railroad presidents. l do not care to
say anything about it one way or the
other, certainly there is no settlement,
conference or no conference.

at Republican National headquarters

Fred S. Gibbs. Before the meeting Sen

Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, were

"I was at Mr. Morgans office replied
the Senator, but I went there to see

st is reported, however. that Senator
Hanna is not only doing all in his power
to end the strike, but that he almost
succeeded in averting it before it was
ordered. His efforts would probably have
been successful but for the interference
of self constituted committee that up
set his plans"
