LOOK FOR BIG BUSINESS.
Paris Exposition VIII Draw Heavily
on Steamship Resources.

on Steamship Resources.
John G. Allen & Co., the Third street
steamship agents, forecast the coming
years business in statement issued
yesterday. Concerning the situation and
the amount of business In prospect they
make the following statement:
The outlook for steamship business is
discouraging. There is no doubt now
from advices received yesterday and to-
day but that many of the ocean lines
will be seriously handicapped in meet
ing the emergencies of the Paris EXPOSE
ton travel together with the large
amount of regular travel which is al
ready in prospect. This will operate to
the serious disadvantage of steamship
agents through the Northwest.
The war in the Transvaal has COM
PEELED the English government to draw
heavily on the Engiish-owned Atlantic
lines for transports and supply ships.
The entire Cunard Boston service has
been withdrawn, OF which advice is just
received, and the same line has with
drawn all but three ships in the New
York service The White Star, Do
minion, Hamburg-American and other
English lines have suffered proportion
ately. There is no prospect that these
ships will be again in the Atlantic pas
senger and express service in time for
the business Of the coming season, OF
which fact agents throughout the North
west should take notice.
A very large amount of business Is In
sight in the Northwest. st. Paul and
Minneapolis will send 25 per cent more
people to Paris than any one has yet
estimated. Reports received covering
the outlook at various Northwestern
agencies state uniformly that the reg
ular business of the season will be
heavy. We have received advices that
the German and French lines will make
an effort to meet the deficiency In pas
senger service caused by the Transvaai
war and will put their entire fleets into
the transatlantic and Paris business If
necessary Reservations are already
being made as far ahead as June and
unless those who are planning on the
European trip secure their accommoda-
lions in advance there will result most
distressing situation as far as steamship
agents are concerned with insufficient
accommodation and an extraordinary de-
mand.
The cabin business will be large out
of the Northwest and the cities. There
IS every reason to forecast that this class
of passenger traffic will very nearly
equal all other classes put together dur
ing the month Of the exposition. Ar
rangements are now being made with
rail connections to the East to secure
facilities making 1t possible to route Twin
CITY passengers to Europe direct from
st. Paul or Minneapolis to Paris. If the
plan carries, one ticket will carry pas
senger through without the disagreeable
necessity of personally supervising the
transfer Of baggage from the rail to the
steamer lines.

CUTS OFF CoM4dIssIoNs.
neutrality-suspicious. Line Follows
the Example of Others.

The circular anticipated from the Ham
burg-American line Of ocean steamships,
cutting off all commissions, was received
in ST. Paul offices yesterday. The line
announces that the circular of May "a,
which has governed business to the first
OF the year, is rescinded, and that no
commissions of any character will be
allowed until further notice.
This circular completes the list, with
the exception of the White Star line and
the Cunard line, an English concern,
which has become a comparatively insig-
nificant factor in the business during the.
past two months on account of curtailed
service. The roads east of Chicago have
withdrawn all commissions, and the stu
alton has braced up remarkably.
Steamship and railroad agents, how
ever, are watching the Great Western
closely. Information received yesterday
was to the effect that, Notwithstanding
the report that the Grand Trunk, the
Great Westerns Eastern connection at
Chicago, had withdrawn commissions,
business is still being received by that
line on terms agreeable to the Great
Western. The two roads have a combi-
nation for the control Of east-bound bust
ness with the White Star line. which has
also continued its commissions An in
vestigation is now in progress on the part
of competing lines, and the statement, as
made yesterday, that IL the charges
against the. Great Western and Grand
Trunk are found to be true, retaliation
against them would ensue at once.

THEY EAT CATS.
The Tales About the Chinaman's
Dinners Are True.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Yes, they do A traveller who las just
returned from China says that all those
stories which we read in the geography
and which we seldom believe are really
true.
Cinnamon, however, do not just pick up
any old cat out of the street and have
him stewed for dinner. Oh, dear, no; 1t
is only the wealthy Chnaman who can
afford the luxury of cat or dog for his
table. The animals which are used for
food have to be of an especial breed.
Cats CT brindle or yellowish color are pre-
ferred to all others. Then they must be
kept in coops and fed on only certain
kinds OF food before they are considered
good to cat
Now, when you consider that the
Cinnamon of the working class seldom
have room enough IN the crowded dwell
ings for themselves and their personal
belongings-that is, their wives and chill
dren the matter of keeping a cat coop
is out of the question. to say nothing of
the expense of getting the especially pre-
pared food for it's inmates. The China
man of the working class counts himself
especially blessed if he has q single little
closet-like room fer himself and family
the most ambitious even never aspires
to a front or back yard. He seldom
gets paid over 10 or Is cents day; so it
takes nearly all Of that to buy his own
rice and tea-and no matter how much
his appetite may crave cat or dog, he is
too dainty creature to partake of the
animal which feeds from his neighbours
garbage berrel.
Now, from the point Of view of the
Chinese, q cat or dog, or rat which has
been brought up in coop and fed on
especially prepared food makes much
daintier dish than a chicken, for instance,
which has been turned loose in the
yard and allowed to indulge It's appetite
for bugs and worms and grasshoppers

PROMINENT JAPANESE
Here to Arrange for Railway Extern
sion in His Country.

Mr.. suiyja Matamori, of Gifu, Japan,
arrived in st. Paul yesterday from the
coast on the Great Northern overland
express, en- route to Chicago and New
York Mr. Matamori is the representa-
tive of several wealthy citizens of Hi
gasha and Kobe, as well as of a num-
Der Of the native stockholders of the
Tokyo & Kobe railway, of Japan, who
have projected a new line, to run from
Gifu, in the province of Mino, north
ward through the rich agricultural prov
ince of Hida, to Higasha, a populous
city on Toyamo bay, on the northern
coast of the island empire.
The promoters of the enterprise intend
to construct a narrow gauge road, with
sufficient freight equipment to handle
the business Of the territory through
which it runs, and, in addition, enough
passenger equipment TO run a tri-weekly
service connecting at Gifu for Kobe and
Tokyo. Mr. Matamori states that the
money for the construction of the road
is subscribed, and he is in America to
negotiate for the purchase of about two
thirds of the equipment. All the engines
on the new line will be built in this
country and shipped to Japan.
Mr.. Matamori is Japanese American

versity of Michigan. He received full

500 IN NORTH Dakota.
Is Thinking of Cutting Into North
ern Pacific Territory

Is Thinking of Cutting Into North
ern Pacific Territory.
MONTREAL, Jan. 1-While nothing
definite was decided at the recent meeting
of 500 line officials in this city as to ex-
tension building during 1900S 1t is learned
that the company will very certainly pro-
tect itself in its territory northwest of
Minneapolis. The recent announcements
of extensions by the Northern Pacific
south of the main line of that road, from
Fargo to Bismarck, are direct menaces
of occupation of 500 territory. The 500
has a partly built line from Hankinson,
on the main line, to Bismarck. 1t passes
through Oakes,i Kuhn, Napoleon, and ter
inmates short distance west of Brad
dock This is rapidly growing region,
and the 500 has always regarded it as a
territory which it could claim as it's own.
1t is certain that if the Northern Pacific
builds the line suggested to Winona, on
the Missouri through the southern coun-
ties of North Dakota, the 500 will re-
taEate by building, perhaps first, into the
same territory, and also perhaps by
building to Fargo
This Fargo line would according to
rumor, leave the present main line at Ell
bow Lake. From that place the 500 could
build into Fargo and have shorter line
than the Northern Pacific. But this
would not be the end of it. If the Fargo
line is built 1t is the logical conclusion
that the 500 would require Western ex-
tension to feed it, and that it could hit
the Northern Pacific a hard blow by
building right on northwest into the re-
gion now being occupied by the Northern
Pacific around CooperstoWn and the
towns on the Leeds branch.

Alaskan Islands That Produce Skins

Tacoma Ledger.
C. r. Isham, United States comm s ion
err of Unga island, Alaska, while at Ia
con1a on his way to Washington recsnay,
said:
"Unga is and is the great center OF the
sea otter and fox skin industries. and viz
tually all the inhabitants are engaged
in hunting one or both Of these. The ca CHI
is important, though the number of anil
mails is not large. For instance, this year
the eleven islands of the Shumagin group,
including Unga, produced from the sur
rounding waters thirty-four sea offers.
The value Of these skins Is $500 each.
Besides this, the islands are producing
black and blue fox skins in large num-
bers. One island alone had produced up
to the time 1 left ninety skins, worth
$40 each, or 5000.
other islands are also producing stead
lily. The black foxes were planted orig
inally in Unga, Sanak, Be.ofsky and OH
er islands by the Russ.an-American Fur
company, to augment the scant supply
left after the company's men had been
long trapping on the islands. After the
United States had had the country for
some years our government leased the
eleVen ISLANDS TO dllIerent traders ana
Aleut chiefs for the purpose Of raising
blue foxes. The islands were well stock
ed with the blue variety, and these have
been crossed with the black in many
cases, and an unusually fine fur resp ted.
This year the natives Of Belofsky ISL
and caught seventeen sea offers, enough
to carry the whole village of $50 people
through the winter in good shape. The
Indians go forth on the sea In their
bidarkas and shoot the offers with their
shotguns, as a rule. In some cases they
use nets, but shooting them is the usual
way. These otter skins are the best found
In any market in the world.
1 am going to Washington now to try
to set the government to erect board
houses on the islands for the use of In
dams in drying salmon, and also desire
to get a medical dispensary and a doctor
for the Indians. Diseases of different
kinds have broken out among them Sub
stantially the Aleuts need. besides this,
only -four, tea and ammunition, and these
supplies they can buy of the traders from
their otter and fox skin catches. There
are plenty of Goldfish, eggs of wild fowl
and some game, in addition to the salmon.

to live on roots and herbs.'

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is in the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that vweak "
heart, vweak" lungs, uweak nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assinilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ of the body well nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness OF some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cnres diseases of the stomach and organs
Of digestion and nutrition, purifies the
blood and increases the blood supply OF
the body. Weak people will find IN this
medicine sure means of strength.
