CoEUR DALENE INQUIRY.
Edward Flanagan Tells of Unusual
Restrictions.

WASHINGTON, March g. - Edward
Flanagan, Of Mullan, Idaho, continued
his testimony today before the house
committee on military affairs concerning
the Occur d'Alene affair. He said no.
tees were posted early last July forbid
ding members of organized labor from
going to the miners cemetery on July II
for their annual ceremony over deceased
miners. The order, the witness said, gave
notice that women and other relatives Of
miners would be arrested If they assem-
bled.
There was sharp controversy between
Representative Lentz and other members
of the committee as to whether the wit
nesses should be interrogated on the po-
litical connections of various persons re-
ferred to In the testimony. The commit
tee finally decided by a vote of to z
to permit inquiries on this line.
Moses Aimons. county commissioners

steps. Later he was removed from office

BANK SHOWING FAIR
MONEY OUTLOOK FOR THE
PAST WEEK
HEAVY VOLUME OF BUSINESS

1t Accounts In q Measure for the Big
Loan COmmitme nts-Viewed as q
Whole, the Exhibit of the Banks
Is Not as UnfavOrnbIe as Had
Been Anticipated - Money Rates
Now About at Lowest Ebb.
NEW YORK. March 3.-The FinancIer
says this week:
"a decrease Of $6,O37, 600 in the surplus
reserves of the clearing house banks of
New York city for the week has reduced
the excess cash holdings to $13,641, $780,
shrinkage of more than $1,000 goo in one
month. The feature OF the statement is
the continued rise in loans. The increase
for the week In that item has
been $9,631, 0OO One month ago the total
was $55,0O0OO0 lower than now reported.
This exceeds last years record very ma.
terially, although the incentive which
brought about the 1899 expansion is lack
ing now. The explanation for the rapid
rise In loan commitments lies In the
heavy volume of commercial business
which the country is doing. Lately there
has appeared another factor-the absorb
ton of government bonds by banks-and
this accounts In part for the continued
addition to the loan item.
The banks are still losing cash to the
treasury. The statement reveals a. de-
crease of $4,507. coo in specie, and $767, 400
for the week. This Is a little less than
had been expected, as the treasury had
drawn more than that during the week
The inference is that the banks gained
rather than lost on interior account The
increase Of 1885,, 900 In deposits was much
below the average expansion over the
past few weeks, and requirements for adj
ditiopal reserve were not as heavy as had
been the case from week to week since
the beginning of February AS 1t is, the
lessened excess reserve for tho past six
days is due almost entirely to the loss Of
cash from banks, the deposit increase be-
ing responsible for only three quarters Of
a million of the total.
Viewed as whole the exhibit of the
banks Is not as unfavorable as had been
anticipated but it certainly favors the
prediction that money rates are now
about as low as they will be for some
time to come The money market III the
immediate future will be governed large
ly by the amount which the banks will
lose to the treasury, and the passage Of
the refundirg bill may also complicate
matters temporarily The banks are still
adding to their circulation and the total
is now in excess of any amount reported
during the last years"

NEW GREAT NORTHERN LINE.
Reported That the Road Has Decid-
ed to Build From Messaba Range.

Reports have 1t that the Great North
ern has decided to build q new line from
the Mesaba range to the head of the
lakes, cutting off a haul of thirty-slx
miles. Engineers are said to have To-
Gated the line and crews are now at work
with the final details. The road planned
will be fifty miles in length and will cost
the system $1,20O,O00. It will parallel the
line of the Duluth, Mesaba & Northern
from Columbia Junction north to Mel
son, point on the Hibbing branch of
the Great Northern. 1t is claimed that
the line surveyed, gives comparatively
level haul, and that 1t will be adapted
to much heavier tonnage than the pres
ent roads from the ranges The rumor
is given some color by the well known
fact that the Great Northern plans ex-
tensive improvements on the range and Is
building at Allouez bay for the accom-
mediation of the major portion of the
iron business into the head of the lake
ports,

Sensational outgEowth of the Mont

headed 1.-THE Hour Is d Decisive One"
La Patrie, the organ of Mr.. ]. Israel
Tarte, minister of public works, refer
ring to the attacks of the McGill stu
dents on laval college, and the French
newspaper offices, attributes their action
to the agitation by Tory papers, which
1t says have been making threats and
hurting dlsloyalty at the French Cana
dams. Tht editorial concludes:
''Is it not a painful spectacle to real
lie that we are two steps from civil
war? We are not the aggressors, but
we are strong enough to protect our
selves We do not hold the majority of
the English-speaking- population of Mon
treal and the country responsible for the
shameful scenes which disgraced our
streets. This is the decisive hour.
1.-THE confederation can only be main
tanned by the two races living harmoni-
ously side by side. There is very little
to add to what has taken place to rend
the federal pact asunder, and that with
out much delay.

LOGS VERSUS LUMBER
CALLED ON TO DECIDE
NOVEL QUESTION
INVOLVES NEW STATE LAW
Complaint Filed With the Commits
sion Concerns the Charge That
the Duluth & Iron Range Rail-
road DiscriminRtes In Logging
Rates-AII Except White Pine
Product Put In a New Class.

A new question involving the state law
recently passed requiring the consent Of
the railroad commission to changes on
certain classes Of rates, Is brought up by
a complaint filed yesterday with the COM
mission by f. r. Martin, in behalf of the
Martin Tie Sc Lumber company of Du-
luth. The complaint is directed against
the Duluth, Sc Iron Range railroad and
charges discrimination in logging rates.
The important feature of the complaint
concerns the charge that the road reclas>
Stfied logs Of every nature, white pine eX-
cepted, undr q new tariff without first Oh
tanning the consent of the commission
The new rates were those governing
lumber. The commission is to decide
whether logs constitute lumber and can
be admitted to lumber rates without COM
plying with the law.
The compliments reclte that they have
operated since 1899 under the firm name
Of Martin Tie and Lumber company and
own q saw mill in Duluth. They own
timber tracts near Highland, tributary to
the D. d. r. l. road, on which they rely
fer the marketing of their cut. On Oct.
IL the road issued new freight tariff on
the transportation of logs, charging
rate of IA cents with a minimum rate of
81. On Feb. IL, 1860 the company without
notice introduced a new tariff, reclassify-
ing logs and putting all except the white
pine product in a new class and under
new rates, alleged to be lumber rates and
almost twice as much as the old logging
rates. The firm complains against the
new tariff as unreasonable and contends
that 1T is unlawful since a majority part
of their cut is classified lumber, without
the consent CT the railroad commission.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March "A
united movement has been started by the
railways running to the South and East
from st. Paul and Minneapolis, to raise
the freight rates on -four from that point
to the seaboard. A secret meeting was
held today at which the following roads
were represented: The St. Paul, Mime

Ing, admitted that 1t was for the purpose
of raising the rate on flour to the Eastern

He said: For time past the roads have
been considering raising the schedule on
flour and the object Of this meeting is to
raise the schedule on this class CT

Just how much of raise in the flour
rate contemplated, the railroad men
would not say, but from their remarks
1t Is inferred that 1t is the intention the
raise shall be quite material.

sloops available for racing and three
more are promised. Among the recent ad-

stated intervals during June, July and

The executive committee will also draft
racing rules for the new class created last
night, and will make it's report in due
course. The championship races will be
held Aug. 7. 1t was found impracticable
last season to give more than one day

method Of pulling them all off on the
same day, as was then adopted, will be
followed the coming season,
