The supreme court of the United
States has rendered a decision de-
claring the Anderson law to tax I'M
used railroad lands to he unconstitu-
tional, thus reversing the decision OF
the Minnesota supreme court. The
court holds that by a previous con-
tract made by act of the legislature
in 1866 and by constitutional
amendment in 1871, the railroads
had agreed to pay and the state to
accept a three per cent gross earn
ings tax in lien OF all other taxes on
railroad property, including lands,
and that the Anderson law would
impair this contract, by withdrawing
part OF the railroad property from
this method of taxation, without
releasing the railway companies from
any OF their obligations. While the
decision OF the highest court in the
land is, doubtless, just unprejudiced
and strictly in accordance with law,
thepeople Of Minnesota, nevertheless,
thought that good reasons existed
for an opposite conclusion.

In the death of Senator Cushman
X. Davis the state of Minnesota has
lost it's most distinguished citizen and
the nation one of the wisest and most
useful of it's counsellors. He has been
removed from the scene of action at a
time when his services seemed most
Indispensable. AS chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations, and
recognized as the greatest constitu-
tional lawyer in this country, much
reliance was placed upon him to
bring to successful and honorable
settlement the important questions
growing out Of the war with Spain.
The whole public career Of Senator
Davis was honorable and marked by
devotion to duty. AS a soldier he
made an honorable record. AS a
member of the Legislature, United
States District Attorney and Governor
of the State, he displayed those great
qualities Of head and heart that sub.
sequently made his career in the
United States Senate SO conspicuous.
is we'll worth remembering that
Senator Davis did not rise to his high
position in the nation by reason Of
birth or wealth but through his own
merits, his excellent qualities Of mind
and heart. He was great student,

MINNESOTA butter makers won a
great victory at the Paris Exposition,
capturing the Grand Prix , three gold
medals, five silver medals, and one
bronze medal. This is the more sur
prising when it is remembered that
Northwestern creameries were here
brought into direct competition with
the leading butter making countries
of the world. Thus fresh laurels
have been won by the great North
Star state. AS a rerult there is likely
to be an increased foreign demand
for our butter, and this will necessi-
tate more creameries. -, There should
be great development of the dairy
industry in the Red River valley dur
ing the next ten years. It will help
to diversity farming and make it
more profitable. We would like to
sec creamery established in every
township. The farmers in the south
ern part Of the state have found the
dairy industry profitable. ~

and the most pleasant hours Of his
life were spent in his we'll filled libra
~, which upon his death is found to
be the most valuable part Of his estate.
It was as member Of the Spanish
American Peace commission at Paris
in 1898 that Senator Davis achieved
the greatest prominence inShis long
and able career. He was one Of the
first to perceive that it was morally
and logically impossible to do any
thing else than to keep and govern
the Philippine Islands. Rejecting
alike the idea of returning the OPP
pressed islands to Spain, and the
equally untenable plan Of leaving
them to drift into anarchy, he threw
his whole force and energy into the
problem Of securing their cession on
terms which the world would recog-
nize as just. The treaty which he
was largely instrumental in formulate
ing will go down in history as one
of tremendous Importance to the
United States as we'll as of world wide
significance. Senator Davis was a
statesman Of clear vision, patriotic
and truly American. He had faith
in the Republic and its future great
ness.

Fire Creek. w. Va. March THE
only person who entered the Red Ash
mine before the explosion, and who is
known 10 have escaped alive, is Elec-
trician Evans, who was near the
mouth OF the mine. In relating his ex-
perienee Mr.. Evans said:
Il heard a low, rumbling sound, sim
liar TO an earthquake. and realized in
an instant that fire damp had explod-
ed. Before the force of the concus-
sion reached me 1 threw myself down
on my face and A sheet of flame, rock
and debris shot over my head. l man
aged TO creep to the mouth and into
the fresh air.
My God, it was awful. 1 saw that I
was the only one left. Every one of
the other fellows was lost. 1 knew"
A pathetic feature of the disaster is
the humiliation of the family of B. B.
Long, fire boss. His wife died some
time ago, leaving to his sole care two
little boys. Having no one TO stay with
in their desOlate home the boys begged
to go with their father into the mine to
spend the day with him. He consented.
and when the search is finished their
blaekened little bodies will be found
beside that of their father
The unexplained cause of the accident
has terrified miners in adjoining local
tiles. Many were afraid to go to work
! today, and it will require the most
searching inspection by competent men
to remove their fears and induce them
TO return TO their places.
Work of the Reserves.
The reseuing parties continued work
ing hard at Red Ash mine today and
tonight, removing debris and securing
bodies Of the victims of the explosion
of yesterday.
The most conservative estimates OF
some of those connected with the mine,
places the number of killed at fifty
two, and there are others who insist
that the number Of victims will be
found TO reach sixty. More bodies were
/ recovered early this morning.
A report from the rescuers at the
mine after o'clock tonight was that
| thirty-four bodies had been rescued
I twenty-nine being dead and five seri-
Ously injured.
While the surviving miners and
others estimate that there are at least
/ thirty-nine miners still entombed. Gen
/ eral Manager Howe says there are
only thirty-six still in the mine. None
/ OF the mines in this district are vet
working, and thousands of people Wis
/ lted the scene OF the Red Ash diSaS-
/ ter today.
No definite cause for the explosion
has yet been learned by Governor At.
! kinson. or the state and district mine
| inspectors who are investigating the
| case. In addition to the theories Of
| dust. fire damp. etc, it was claimed
| today that natural gas had escaped in
/ to the mine and that it ignited wheI
| the miners entered yesterday mornine
with their tighten lamps
The work of the rescuing parties i:
retarded by hot air. and it is though
! the mine is on fire. Air is being pumped
nto the mne by compressor. 1t VII prob
ably be several days before all tn,
