Minnesota Commission and tho Railroads
Will Probably Fail to Agree.
MINNEAPolIs, March lot is stated
on good authority that there is no prob
ability of the state railroad commission
and the roads Of this state agreeing to
reduction Of rates as proposed by the
former.
The commission has made a careful
study Of conditions, apart from all po-
Fitical considerations. Its Investigations
have resulted in the conviction that the
railroads of Minnesota enjoy much
greater profit than the roads which
traverse through Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin. 1t is said further. in sup
port Of the commissions stand, that
certain roads in Minnesota derived net
returns exceeding $1,000 per mile dur
ing the past year. In the Judgment Of
the commission, this is excessive and
out of all proportion to the considera-
ton shown the people of the state by
the roads which basked in such profits
Courts the Main Battle Ground.
1t is not likely that the railroads will
submit to the commission any extensive
array of figures in the hope Of convinc-
ing that body of an error in Judgment.
The attorneys for the roads will appear
before the commission on the day of
hearing and make brief verbal argu-
ments opposing a rate reduction. 1t is
not expected their request will be al
lowed, and the question will then go to
the courts, where the roads will fight it
with yigOr.

POWER FOB - DULUTH.

New Company Which Will Utilize the

DULUTH, March 15.-The Highland
Canal and Waterpower company has
entered the field for the development Of
water power, to be supplied to. Duluth

area northeast of Duluth in this and
the Lake counties, which flows into the
Oloquet river, to the top of the hill in
Duluth, where it will be 750 feet above
the level of Lake Superior.
e This drop will give enormous power,
and with the amount Of water that can
be obtained, 10000 horsepower will be
developed at once, and if desired it can
be made $4,000.

high at the Occur d Alene investigation
before tho house committee on military
affairs and there were several spirited
exchanges between Chairman Hull and
Representative Lentz. George Cornell
was on the stand relating his, experience
during Imprisonment, which differed
only in detail from those of other wit
nesses. One Of his recitals was as to an
old soldier, who because Of brutality of
the negro soldiers toward HIM, took off
his Grand Army button from his coat
and with tears in his eyes, threw it
away. Cornell said he made a memo
randum of the affair, but the book was
taken from him, and he saw it after
ward in the possession of Bartlett Sim
clair, the governors representative dur.
ing the troubles. i
Mr.. Sinclair, who was present, arose
and declared there was no such soldier
as had been described. .'.- :.
MIR. Lentz Protests.
Mr.. Lentz protested against state.
ments not under oath. He also, gave
notice that he would call on Mr.. Sin
clair to produce all his books, to locate
this alleged soldier entry. Chairman
Hull here interposed to remind Mr..
Lentz that he was not the entire COM
mittee, and was not in a position in
dividually to order the production Of
books. This was the province of the
committee, and without such action,
Mr.. Lentz' notices amounted to nothing.
Mr.. Lentz stated that this was the
usual notice that books referred to in
testimony would be called for. He
asked that the committee request, and
without objection this was done. Mr.
Lentz also moved that the committee
call for all rolls, the record, etc., show
ing the names of those held in the "bull
pen,' the charges against them, etc.
The committee went into executive ses-
sion to pass upon the motion.

Immediate presentation Of the rolls,

When the open session was resumed,
the testimony was soon interrupted by
another exciting controversy. One OF
the attorneys present in behalf Of the
State of Idaho, occupied a seat near the
head of the table,: and Mr.. Lentz re.
ferred to the outside ''coaching" which

attorney as to whom he represented, by
whom he was retained and what re-
tainer had been paid. The answer was
