THE OLD LIBRARY ~.
ROOMS
COUNTY BOARDS DILEMMA
1t Is Not Becoming Any More
Simple of Solution as
the Days Go

1t is not impossible that serious objeC
tons may yet be entered to the tenancy
by the county for Jail purposes of the
rooms in the city and county building
formerly used by the public library
While it has ben reported that the
plans for a temporary jair there have
been approved by the state boarl of C ,r-
retcions and charities, this is not an ac
curate statement the fact being that
Secretary Jackson has merely recon-
mended to the construction committee of
the board that the plans be accepted,
not approved, as the best temporary
plan apparently available, in the event
that the workhouse cannot be used.
Secretary Jackson is of the opinion
that, if there is no legal objection, there
could be suitable provision made at the
workhouse for the general run of pris-
oners who will ordinarily be confined in
the county Jail, pending the completion
of the new Jail The worst characters
he would not have confined in the tenn
porary Jail, wherever it should ultimately
be located. Provision for most of the
women prisoners, he is inclined to be-
leve, could be made at the worIlhouse
or in either the Washington or Henne-
pin county jails, as could quarters Tor
juvenile offenders.
Yet the temporary Jail in the city and
county building, as planned by the coun-
ty architect E. j. Donohue, is, in Score
tary Jacksons opinion, suitable as a
temporary expedient, and much more
economical in his opinion, than would be
the proposed quarters in a building on
East Fifth street, as had been suggested.
There would be the items of rent and
heating, as well as additional expense
for lighting in such quarters, which
would not figure in the cost of the Jail
under the roof of the city hall and court
house.
The approval of the plans is now pend
ing before the committee on construction
of the state board and has not been &C.
cided, as was reported.
The building committee of the board of
county commissioners spent yesterday in
conference with the judges of the district
court as to the dilemma in which they
find themselves. There does not seem
to be any possibility of getting along
with less than $4,000 for. the temporary
quarters and their restoration. No de-
cision was reached in the premises, but
the board will be made conversant with
all the facts when it meets tomorrow.

RECRUITING THE ARMY.
Enlistment Going on at the Rate of

Enlistment Going on at the Rate of
1000 Per Month.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 49, Active re-
cruiting for the army is in progress in
all the principal cities of the country.
The authorized strength of the regular
army at present is 65, 200 men, and the
recruiting in progress is with view to
maintaining it at that strength after the
discharge of the $4,000 volunteers, June
30 next. All enlistments are for three
years, and the number of recruits aver
ages about 1000 a month. Owing to the
delay in action on the army bill, the Inn
preston prevails in the war department
that it will be almost impossible to get
all the volunteers to this country. in. time
to permit their discharge here by June
discharge a number of them in the Phil
ippines on that date in order to keep
them there until replaced by regular
troops now being recruited. Otherwise
it would not be possible to keep the Phil
ippine army up to the limit of 10000 men,
regarded as essential to the reinforce
ment of the presidents policy while the
proposed reorganization of the army is in
progress. 1t is said at the war depart
ment that, while it is settled that all
the volunteers will be discharged June
80, the course of events in the near fu-
ture will determine to a considerable eX-
tent whether the discharges shall take
place in the Philippines or in the United
States. Every effort will be made to
get as many home as possible before
their discharge.

NEW GERMAN ARMY UNIFORM.
Glitter of Brass Buttons to BE n
Thing of the Past.

BERLIN. Jan. 19.-The- Introduction of
new uniforms into the army seems to be
settled. Pieces of the new uniforms,
which differ radically in form, material
and hue from those now in use, are re-
ing worn for trial in a number of army
corps here and through the provinces.
An important innovation is that shining
buttons disappear for dark ones, worn
underneath the cloth. The material Of
tho coat is more porous and grayish-
brown. Its form, a semi-blouse, is called
a lltcwka. 1t resembles the Austrian
fatigue uniform. The trials have every
where been successful.
The emperor's recent order to officers
not to wear civilian clothes except on
certain exceptional occasions has. met
with general disfavor in the army, espc-
cially in Berlin, Spandau and PotsdaIn,
where hitherto there has been no effort
made to enforce the order. -
The officers unanimously complain of
the extreme severity of the Berlin local
commandant, Maj. Gen. Won Ende, who,
for the slightest infraction of the uni
form regulations, places officers under
arrest for week
Emperor William, apparently, does not
know this habit; this is the reason why,
nowadays, one rarely meets uniformed
army officers in the Berlin streets, eX-
cept those actually occupied with official
business. .-.. -....,

NEW YORK, Jan. -19-The stock mar
ket was excited and nervous throughout

The bulls made a determined stand in

of Queen Victoria caused uneasiness as
to the possible bad effects on foreign Sc

A circular addressed to the STOCKHOLM
ers of the Chicago, Burlington &c Quincy
company says the increase of the capt.
tai stock which the directors decided to
offer stockholders at par does not require
to be ratified by the stockholders as pro-
vision previously made left 1t at the OPP
ton of the directors to issue such stock
at their discretion. Under the circum-
stances no special meeting of the stock
holders will be necessary to authorize the
issue. The proceeds of the new issue are
not to be used for the absorption of ether
railroad properties, but simply to provide
for the construction and equipment al
ready contracted for, and which may be
found necessary in the immediate future.
Part of the money will be used on the
Big Horn basin line of the system in
Wyoming, and part for extensions on the
Iowa lines 1t is understood that 81, 600 eco
of the amount will be used in the crea-
ton Of transfer yards, and the erection
OF a large elevator at some point in II
lnois outside Chicago, so as to facilitate
the handling of through traffic and avoid
the necessity of bringing it into Chicago
for transfer to the Eastern roads.

The Canadian Pacific, which, according
to the opinions of those inhabiting the
Western portions of the Dominion, mere
ly tolerates Canada and the Canadians,
is at present engaged in a lively battle
with men who, until a short time ago,
were among the closest friends of that
corporation
/ 1t will be remembered that when, a
short time ago, several of the principal
owners of the coal deposits in the Crows
district of British Columbia visited St
Paul. much speculation was provoked as
to the object of their visit
Some did not hesitate to declare that
the Canucks were DESTROYS of -dispos.ng
of their immense valuable property to q
group of American capitalist, among
whom the name of ]. J. Hill was promi-
nently mentioned. The coal men them
selves said that they were simply look
ing for an outlet for their product, SO
that portion of it might reach the
American market by an expeditions
route. This theory was borne out by the
report from Toronto that the Great
Northern might soon build a spur into
the country.
= The coal barons have been for some
time sore at their old friend the railway
company which crosses the length of
Canada. They discovered that it was
even keener for profits than they were
den as long as they could, they boldly
declared war, and came to the United
States to secure transportation facilities
for their wares.
1t is also noteworthy that the Toronto
Globe newspaper which has always
stood by the c. F. r. through thick and
thin, has turned and is now denouncing
II IN almost unmeasured terms. That the
coal men mentioned above own this pa
per throws some light on this phase of
the fight.
1t now looks that if the railroad does
not come to terms and grant the mine
owners some desired concessions, the
Canadians will profit nothing from the
rich and ineXhaustible deposits in their
own territory. Rather than submit to
the dictation of the road, the owners will
throw their lot in with enterprising
Americans, and much of the profit will
flow to this country
