Mr.. Bryan left the Hoffman House
just after O'Clock. There was wild
enthusiasm as he entered his carriage
The party drove out from the Twenty
fifth street entrance of the hotel under
the Dewey arch, which was illumi-
mated brilliantly. The full length of
Broadway was lined with crowds of
people that massed on the sidewalk
and filled the cross streets far back.
All along Fifth avenue the streets
were damned and from the sides of the
buildings hung scores of lanterns. AS
the carriage swung into Second avenue
and went northward the density of the
crowd increased. The people were Jam
med so tightly there was no moving
about. The drive up Second avenue to
the stand at Fourteenth street was
quickly accomplished and at 9:zO Mr..
Bryan was being driven toward the
stand at Twentieth street. Here he
made no attempt to leave his carriage.
but stood up in the vehicle. and. with
MS coat collar turned up about his
neck. his SLOUGH hat pulled down over
his eyes. heavy muller about his
neck he addressed the great crowd for
several minutes. In the meantime the
crowd that had filled Second avenue
had closed in behind the carriage and
as Ear as one could see through the
smoke filled air there was a sea of IN

 A Curious Lawsuit.

A curious lawsuit is in progress at Kansas City, Kan, brought by s. K. Howe against the Armour Packing company, to recover fourteen acres of river front occupied by the packing houses. The old man tells veritable Robinson Crusoe story. Many years ago he took up his abode on a little island in the Missouri river, living in . hut with a dog and a few fowls for ais only companions. He was lord of the domain, and no one questioned the fact. Finally the stream changed it's course, and what was an island became valuable river front, and the Armour company forced him off.

To Exclude Eastern consumptlves.

1t is interesting to note that Califor. nia physicians are fixed in their hope of some time excluding eastern con- sumptives from the state. The sub, ject, which has been discussed a nun. Der of times in the last few months. was again taken up at meeting of the state board of health a few days ago. Dr. Louis Bazet, of the board. read paper on the dangers of tuber. eulosis as 8 contagious disease threat ening California. He said that be- tween 10000 and 50.00O consumptives entered California annually, and each of these persons helped to spread the disease germs.

Of non-nle- taliic substances, the total value of the output was s601, ,S72 .631, as compared with $483, ,o91, ,970 in 1898. Deducting certain unavoidable Implications, such as coal used in coke or iron ore in pig iron, and so on, the net value of the mineral production reached total Of S891, ,424 082, showing an increase of s151, ,6o7, ,332 over 1898.

Russian Dinners.

The etiquette of a Russian dinner is decidedly formal. When the guests are seated, the host and hostess of the feast remain standing, it being their pleasure to attend upon the company and to see that the servants do their duty. Nothing can escape their ob, servation; the plate of no guest re- mains empty for a moment, nor is a wine glass ever without contents French wines are mostly drunk at Russian dinners. Madeira is also 8 favorite, and bottle of port is always served to an English guest At her own time the hostess gives the signal, and all rise from the table.

WEIGHMASTER'S REPORT
Unequalled Records by Weigh
master Ed. O'Brien for
tho Year Closed.

The following, from the weighmast-
er's report, refutes Republican charges
of gross mismanagement: '
The total number of cars weighed
during the year was 214,4oo, and the
revenues accruing from all sources was
$53,oo3.5o. Covering the same period
the expense account was $53,o6o.23,
showing a surplus of $o2o:27. The total
number of bushels of grain weighed
during the same period was 1891, $780,
"A comparison of last years figures
with the above will not be out of place
here. Shortly after l came into this
office in 1899, the duty devolved upon
me of furnishing you with the four
teenth annual report. In that state
ment it was shown that 2o2,2o3 cars
had been weighed and that the revenues
from all sources was $34485.41. The
expense account for that year was $751;
4486S, indicating a deficiency of $22,-
o58.27. Total number of bushels of
grain weighed, 16o,o4o,oo6. In some
respects the showing thus made was
an excellent one, but the large def
cheney was an unpleasant feature to
record.
Shorty after the beginning of the
present gram year, IN october, IS00
your honorable board raised the price
for weighing cars from IS cents to IS
cents, thus adding largely to the re-
ce!pts of the department. It was one
Of. the necessities and though some
fault was found with this, the justice
Of it soon became apparent to ALL The
board Of appeals, created by act Of
the last Legislature, added from $I8 900
to $4,000 to the expense of the grain
department and this, if no other reason
existed, would have justified the ad-
vance. Then, too, there is a vast diff
ference between the car of ten years
ago, or even five years and that of
today. The capacity of the former
would not average but little over Goo
bushels, while the latter, built in these
times, will average from 200 to 800
bushels more. The thousand bushe1
car of the present time is becoming
quite common. With these changed
conditions the weighing of car Of
wheat now, in reality, is almost as rea-
sonable as it ever has been.

@. You don't give the farmer early
IN the season the benefit of the doubt?
"A. We take the benefit OF the
doubt until we get started because we
don't know what we are getting into;
If we should start out in any other way
with the pressure that is brought to
bear on us we should get the grades
down so low they would be below the
standard, and if we once get below
we cannot tighten up, we can never get
back. There was never known such
thing as Tightening up a grade

worked both ways?

Inspector at Minneapolis, was placed

the season you have to inspect closer?
"A. Yes, at the very start"

from the evidence produced before it,
made this statement:

ABLED TO GET THE GRADE

CLAUSEN VS.. REISHUS
ClauSen'S Fatal Admissions Un-
der Republican In
vestigatiOn.

Investigations report, by the Jacob
son committee, JAM, 1900. This was to
investigate specific charges that under
Clausen 1.-The department. of grain in
spectlon has become corrupt; that the
inspection has been conducted in the
interests of the buyer as against the
shipper and producer; that grain would
be inspected in as No. or 3, and in
spected out as No. I; that the dockage
has been unreasonable, unjust and ex-
cesslve; that the department has en-
ployed incompetent and corrupt men
as Inspectors
The report: We find from the evil
dence produced that the grading of
wheat has not been uniform; that prior
to the month of October, the new crop
OF wheat had not been graded solely
on its merits, it being the policy of the
inspection department to give lower
grades than later.
That the system Of appeal from the
inspectors decision is impracticable
ard of little benefit.
That it appears that some of the in
spectors have been incompetent or care
less.
That the weighing of the grain at
the terminals is carried on in a loose
manner.
From the investigation had before
this committee, it clearly appears to this
committee that wheat inspections have
not been uniform throughout the year; =;
that the grading of wheat has been
rigid during the first three or four
weeks of each season, and less rigid
during the balance of the year, and we
cannot in too strong language con-
denim this practice, as it must neces-
sarily result in GREAT LOSS TO
THE PRODUCER, FROM THE
FACT THAT A LARGE PROPOR-
TON OF THE CROP HAS BEEN
MARKETED BEFORE. ;, THE
CHANGE TAKES PLACE, AND
ON ALL WHEAT SOLD PRIOR
TO THAT TIME, THE LOSS
MUST NECESSARILY FALL ON
THE PRODUCER. ... ~
Clausens admissions, when on the
stand to meet the charge that early
IN the season the inspection made by
your inspectors was very severe against
the producer, and that subsequently,.
later in the season, somewhere about
the middle OF October, and from that
on, much more liberal grades were
given" C!ausen's explanations were
not satisfactory to thescommittee of in
vestigation, and contained such admis-
sions as these Opp. So, Appendix,
House Journal, 1907: . .
Al will concede that statement is
true to a certain extent, but it is true
OF every crop OF wheat we have ever
handled since the department started
in 1885,. ..= -,
a. / thought made myself clear
on that want to say here that the
tendency from the beginning of the
year to the close is to press the grades
down, press them down, and in order
to have a. little margin, one on which
we we can can carry ar !, our crop through on,
without exercising apprehension on the
part OF eastern buyers, we start out
not knowing what we have to contend
with; IN other words, we take the bene-
fit Of the doubt on the line wheat.

Proof Positive of the First District Congressmans
Connection With the Minneapolis
Lumber Combine

One of the salient points of attent
again Congressman J.. A. Tawney, of
the First District is his connection with
and subservency of the Northwest
Lumber Combine. When he denied
serving the combine to get the So tax
on lumber, the boys who are after him
overwhelmed him with the record of
his vote and official action at Washing-
ton. When they charged him with be-
ing the main stay and chief advisor OF
the Mississippi Lumberman, he denied,
and the friends of L. L. Brown, Taw-
neys popular opponent, produced the

most positive proof. Finally they ran
Iawney down to having been present at
Minneapolis at meeting of the lum
bernen when Mr.. Tawney was present.
Tawney vigorously denied it, and de-
clared that he was not in that part Of
the state on the occasion mentioned,
and now the boys don't do thing but

names of the lumber barons and Mr..

In other words, the loss in weight
during the Republican administration of
the Duluth department ranged from II
to SO lbs. per 1000 bushels, as against
the bagatelle of 8 lbs. under Governor
Lind's new regime. The average loss
in six years of Republican administra-
ton was IS lbs, which is three times
that OF the first year of the new control.
This shows that the new broom sweeps
clean in weighing as in inspection,
while being less heavy burden upon
the taxpayer, and a source of far great
.er justice to the producer and general
business public. ~ II

THE year just closed, it is gratifying
to state, sees the department self-sus-
tanning. The deficiency of almost
$4,000 in 1899 has been turned to a
surplus, small though it be, of $o2o.27
in 1000.
Going back to the birth of the de-
partment in 1885, but one year has ex-
celled this in the number of cars
weighed. That was the big crop ysar
OF 1897: l desire to say, too, that while
the number of cars weighed during the
past year was 12,1o7 more tnan during
the previous year, still the expense
account OF the department was less by
$4,26o45. To be more explicit, the
year ending Aug. al, 1899, showed an
expense to the department of $57 ,33868,
while the year which closed Aug. 81,
1900, showed an expense of $53,o6o.23." :"
An example of the increased strict
ness and general efficiency achieved un-
der the present administration is shown
by the statistics of the weighing de-
partment. Minnesota export wheat is
weighed out at Duluth and weighed in
on arrival at Buffalo, the other end
of the lake route. Comparison of the
Duluth and Buffalo weights, therefore,
shows the accuracy of Minnesota grain
department officials in weighing The
