POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Timely Questions Which Are Engag-
ing the Attention of Public
and Press.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, Feb. &, 1900.

ST. 7 AUL, MIMI, Feb. 8, 1900.
II has been the general impression
that when the proper time came the
fusionists would renew their attack
ON the last Republican legislature
for not passing the bill increasing
the gross earnings tax on railroads.
but it is not likely now that the
fnsionists will make that mistake.
The question was thoroughly dis
cussed by the state press at the time
and the verdict was generally pro-
nounced that the legislature had
taken the safest course.
Had the bill passed, which was
supported by some OF the hest men
OF all parties, it would probably
have resulted in changing the
method Of taxa ton because the rail-
roads would probably not have sub
mitted to the increased tax, and rail-
road property would have been ais
sessed as other property in the diff
ferent townships and cities through
out the state. In that way the large
cities where the valuable terminals
are located would have secured the
big bulk OF those taxes and the coun-
try but little. The state treasury
would have received but a fraction
Of what it now receives from this
source. Since the bill, which was by
no means a Republican measure,
failed to pass. there has been q
marked change Of sentiment on the
subject. While pending the cities, as
a rule, were against tile bill, and the
country for it, but since the prob able
effect Of such a law has been more
fully considered this order has, for
reasons above stated, been very
much reversed.
It's estimated that the gro ss earn
ings OF railroads will probably reach
81 100000 this year. When Audi

jim ORR ROBBED,
A Bandit Goes Through a Mis-
souri, Pacific Sleeper.

Kansas City, May ga Star special
from Falls City, Neb., says: The pas
sengers on the sleeping car of train No.
1, of the Missouri Pacific, which left Kan
sas City last night at 9:25, were held up
and robbed this morning between here
and Stella by lone highwayman- It is
thought that he either boarded the train
here or at the Burlington & Missouri
crossing at Verdon, nine miles north. At
ter the train left verdon. he entered the
sleeper and compelled the porter at the
point of a revolver to precede and aid
him. He had to work fast as the train
was making up time and he only had
from ten to fifteen minutes before the
train should slack up a mile east Of
Stella. There he jumped off, keeping the
passengers back at the point of his re-
volver and escaped.
There were not many passengers in the
sleeper and he did not get much Among
those he encountered were Travelling
Auditor S. G. Spragu, whom he relieved of
his watch and pocket book, and Missouri
Pacific Attorney J. w. Orr, who was com
PEELED to give up his watch. pocketbook
and passes.
The passengers described the robber as
a young man, seemingly well educated,
five feet four inches, tall weighing 100
pounds. and wearing a white mask. He
was evidently an amateur. Special Agent
John de Long is working on the case.
A. J. Frederick, a Kansas City trav-
cling salesman, resisted the robbers de-
mand to surrender his valuables and the
latter fired a shot at him. The bullet
grazed Frederick's head and was i'm
bedded in the window frame.

ALI FOR BRYAN.
New York Delegation Will Go
Instructed.

New York, May 28.-John F. Car
roll, leader of Tammany Hall. in the
absence of Richard Croker, gave out
the following carefully prepared state
ment last night:
''I do not believe that the attitude of
the Tammany Hall organization at the
state convention will be either doubt
full or eQuivocaL AS far as I have
been able to consult with the represen-
tative men of the organization, they
entirely accord with my view of both
the propriety and the expediency of
sending to the national convention a
delegation instructed for VIM. J. Bryan
as the presidential candidate. 1t is
safe to say that every delegate will fa-
Vor the programme, and whatever in
f1uence I may possess will be eXerted
to impress the desirability of its adop-
tion upon the delegates from the other
localities in the state"
Mr.. Carroll declined to add a word
to the statement. but it is understood
it was issued with Mr., Croker's full
sanction. It is stated that Tammany
and Brooklyn Democrats resent ex-
Senator HilPs attempt to rehabilitate
himself as a leader in state politics,
and that there exists a thorough under
standing between the Bryan managers
and the New York Democrats.

CONTESTS THE WILL.
Iowa Woman Objects to Relatives
Money Being Left to Charity.

New York, May 2S.-A year after its
admission to probate the will of Mary
Beach Tousey, leaving upward of 81.
600 900 to churches and charity, has
been attacked on the ground of fraud
Notice of contest was filed today by
Mrs. Sarah B. Rohrer, the nearest Hv-
ing relative of Mrs. Tousey, who now
claims the millions
It was through the action of the coun-
sci for the will that Mrs Rohrer first
learned about the document and took
steps to contest it. These attorneys dis
covered a few weeks ago that they had
neglected to serve notice upon the heirs
at law before having the will probated.
They hastened to repair this error, and
wrote to Mrs. Rohrer, citing her to show
cause before the surrogate why the will
should not be probated.
Mrs. ROhrer, who lives at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, at once instituted an in
vestigation. She engaged Ex-Governor
George NJ. Curtis to fight the will The
bequests to churches and charities in
cluded st. Clements church, New York,
SO, 900, as we'll as a large farm in Los
Angeles county, California. In the pa
pers it is charged that Mrs. Tousey was
insane when she made the will.
Fraud and undue influence are also
charged, but no persons are named.

There is, of course. a dark room where

particular branch of work, depends the
preservation of the records of the all
important event. A branch of this ma

This is also a high point Both to the

of the eclipse itself, but the shadow as
it appeared from the west could be dis
tinctly seen for miles. The station was
selected for the express purpose of max

return from an extensive junket that
was undertaken for pleasure, made a
tremendous row because his expense
account, a weird and unbusinesslike
statement, was turned down, finally
forced the auditor to accept it and the
cashier paid him the amount he de-
manded.
When the comptroller of the treasury
demanded a strict accounting the books
of the Washington postof1ce were
taken in hand by a general officer Of
the department and he wrote a letter to
TraceweH which he subsequently COM
PEELED the then postmaster, Willets, to
sign, though very much against that
officials better judgment
The letter was not satisfactory, and
TraceWell so stated, but before he could
take steps to enforce his demands he
received orders to let the Washington
postofflce alone.
Many incriminating fstories about
favoritism, bad management and reck-
leSsness of conduct are being told. The
father-in-laW of an official was sent
to Porto Rico to be postmaster of one
of the big towns outside of San Juan.
He was given 800 worth of postage
stamps and considerable money to start
his office. His conduct in New York
before he sailed and again after he
reached Porto Rico was such as to
cause the officials to refuse to send him
additional stamps
Eventually the appointee was trans
ferred to another department and is
now receiving 81, 400 a year as clerk. A
chief of one of the divisions of the post
office in addition to his regular salary
drew 81 day from the Brooklyn post
office.
Another extraordinary feature of the
tangle was the dismissal of an expert
accountant, Thomas W. Gilmer, who,
after an examination of the postoffice
books, made a report to the comptroller
of the treasury to the effect that they
were in wretched shape and should be
overhauled entirely.
The Bacon resolution was adopted
by the senate Saturday afternoon and
| the Cuban committee of which Senator
| Platt, of Connecticut, is chairman, is
now vested with ample authority to
visit the island at its pleasure and be-
| gin a complete overhauling of the affairs
| of the military government.
Its powers are far-reaching. It is
authorized to go into every department
postal and military, examine every book
and voucher. summon and examine wit
| nesses and do a number of other things
| that are calculated to enable the com
mittee to get at the bottom of the scan
dals.
The personnel of the committee is as
| follows:
Republicans-Platt of Connecticut
Aldrich, Cullom, Davis, Mcmillan
| Chandler, Spooner.
Democrats-Teller, Money, Butler
Taliaferro.
1t is not expected that this commit
tee will make great deal of headwa!
! in exposing frauds after it reaches
| Cuba, but it is believed on the othe
| hand, that it will devote it's efforts t
| suppressing the facts, at least until af
ter the general election in November.
