ANOTHER HILL PLAN
Arranging to Haul Canadian Coal
Over Great Northern
Road.

St. Paul, Jan. 2S-It was learned
from reliable source today that
shortly after the return of President
Hill Of the Great Northern from New
York, Major Pellatt and Elias Rogers
of Toronto, Canada, two of the Can
adian capitalists who are interested
in the Grows Nest Pass coal mines,
will interview him. The Canadians
are expected in St. Paul Wednesday.
Mr.. Hill will probably arrive here to-
morrow.
An official Of the Great Northern,
who is in a position to speak authori-
tatively, said today: "a conference
between Mr.. Hill and the Canadian
officers of the Grows Nest coal field
was arranged and should have been
held in New York. For some reason
it did not materialize. The object of
the Canadian capitalists in coming to
st. Paul is to complete negotiations
already entered into with Mr.. Hill to
use his line as carrier. The story
that he has secured a large interest
in the Crows Nest mines is all rot.
There is absolutely no truth in the re-
port"
j. Pierpont Morgan will, it was
stated today, accompany Mr.. Hill to
St. Paul.

Kansas City and Superior divisions of
the road.

concerning lease of the st. Paul by
any other road. He also said that
nothing was done toward effecting

.MINNEso1AN's LAST TALK
Makes Expiring Appeal for Filipino
Friends and Gives Wav
to Successor.
MINNES0TAN's LAST TALK

Washington, Jan. 2S-The senate
turned from the grind of appropria-
tions today to listen to speech which
partook Of the character of an grafton
from Senator Towne Of Minnesota
Since he entered the senate few
weeks ago on appointment of Governor
Lind, the young Minnesotan has had
little opportunity to display his tai
ents. AS his reputation as an orator
had preceded him there was much in
terest in his speech today, which was
in advocacy of his resolution for a
cessation of hos,ilities in the Philip
pines. The floor was crowded with
senators and members of the house of
representatives, the latter including
Representatives Littlefeld, Mccall,
Cooper and others, who have been
prominent in insular legislation. The
galleries, public and private, were
crowded to overflowing.
The senators on the democratic side
gave Mr.. Towne marked attention.
On the republican side the attention
was less noticeable, although Mr..
Hoar and Mr.. Hale at first followed
the speech closely at times exchanging
smiling comments OH some of the ut
terances. At one point MI. Depew took
front seat and listened attentively
Mr.. Towne's style of delivery was
clear and forcible. Although restrict
ed by manuscript he had the subject
we'll in hand and rolled out the fine
points with fervor that sent them
echoing through the chamber. The
speech abounded in apotheoses to lib
erty and patriotism and scathing and
scornful arraignlnent of the policy by
which the Filipiinos were being an
initiated. At one time an outburst
OF applause from the galleries led to a
vigorous warning from the presiding
officer againsC demonstrations of ap-
proval or dissent AS the orator
closed his brilliant peroration there
was another outburst Of applause des-
pite the warnings of the chair.
Immediately following Mr.. Towne's
speech the credentials of his success
sor, MI. Clapp, were presented and
after being sworn in the new senator
took his seat and Mr.. Towne retired.
The rest of the day was devoted to
the Indian appropriation bill, the dis
cussion turning on irrigation and little
progress being made.

PASSED At LAST
House Finally Disposes Of Bill
Codifying the Postal
Laws.

Washington, Jan. 28-The major
portion Of the day i'll the house was
occupied in the transaction of District
of Columbia business.
The bill to revise and codify the
postal laws, which has been under con-
sideraCion at intervals for 10 days,
was finally passed today. Its friends
succeeded in confning the measure
strictly to the purpose for which it
was framed-a codification and re-
vision of existing laws. All attempts
to amend it in any vital particular
failed.
The most interesting feature of the
day was an attempt to secure vote
upon the senate bill to appoint COM
mission to consider and adjudicate
the claims of United States citizens
against Spain arising out of the war
with Spain, which this government
assumed by virtue of the treaty of
Paris. The house at the last session
stcommitted similar bill with in
reructions to report back bill to con-.
fer jurisdiction in these cases upon
the court Of claims.
MI. haugen of the committee on
war claims secured consideration of
a substitute for the bill drawn in
accordance with the instructions of the
house and then appealed to the house
to vote down the substitute and pass
the senate bill. There was some init
nation of sharp practice over this
mode of procedure, but the matter was
settled temporarily by postponing con-
sideration of the bill until today, Mon
!
