BERKELEY's DISAPPOINTMENT.
The cancellation OF the engagement for
Berkeley caused the keenest disappoint-
ment. The $4,000 people assembled on the
campus OF the University Of California
had reached the highest pitch Of expectation
at 10 o'clock when carriages were seen
approaching from the railroad station.
Tho President, who was to present the
diplomas to the 400 young men and women
of the graduating class. was supposed to be
In the first carriage The students band
played patriotic air. and the 1900 students
Of the university gave the college yell.
As soon rs Secretary Hay stepped to
the platform, accompanied by the other
members Of the Cabinet and the Governors
of California and Ohio. it became nosed
about that the President had not come.
The cheering ceased the great crowd was
silent and few OF the young women in
the graduating class who had expect to
receive their diplomas from the hands OF
the President, were weeping with disap-
pointment.
The exercises Of commencement day
were carried out perfunctorily and without
enthusiasm. Secretary Hay presented the
diplomas in the Presidents absence.
After the commencement exercises the
Cabinet party had luncheon at the home
Of President Benjamin lde Wheeler and
later in the afternoon attended an informal
reception at the house Of Senator Perkins
in Oakland.
Some time ago it was planned that the
President and Mrs. Mckinley should visit

GAS AT ONE DOLLAR
ST. PAUL CITIZENS QUITE LIKELY
TO SECURE THAT
RATE
MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS GET IT
Council VIII Probably Demand That
Gas Company Extend This
Rate to All It's
Patrons.

Patrons of the St. Paul Gas Light COM
pany may yet live to see 81 gas. A bid
specifying this rate for gas, used in all
municipal buildings, was submitted at the
meeting of the board of aldermen last
evening, by the st. Paul Gas Light
company, and may yet be made the basis
of ascouncil resolution calling. for the
same rate to all consumers.
The price was included in bid pre-
liminary to letting the annual contract
for gas and electric street lighting, and
while the latter showed a slight drop in
respect to the entire elimination OF in
terest charges, the drop in the price of
gas, meter measure, was most marked.
Last year $1.35 a thousand feet was
asked.
For plain gas lamps the company de-
manded $23 a year, Or, when supple
mented with a Welsbach mantle, s29 per
year. For electric lights, $50 year was
asked for the overhead system, and s1l0
for the underground kind. The latter,
however, only applies to 81 lamps, those
now hung on ornamental iron corner
posts. In the elimination of interest
charges which amounts to about $l.25 a
lamp, the company claims to have e.
fected a saving to the city over last year
of about $1,000.
The gas company's bid was sent to the
joint committee on streets, where it will
receive consideration. There is no COM
peting company, and the contract will
be let with little quibbling.

CONDITION OF BANKS
PUBLIC EXAMINER ISSUES INTER
EsTING STATISTICS.

Public Examiner Pope has issued a
comparative statement of the condition
of the state banks Of Minnesota, at the
close of business Nov. 10, of this year.
and approximately at the same time of
year on the three years preceding.
The past year shows, by considerable
amount, the heaviest increase in the re-
sources of state banks. the figures for
Nov TO- 1900, having. been s3s, s52. .7S, and
for Nov Is, 1901, so, 507, S92.45.
From Dec /, 1898, to Nov. Is, of this
year. the number of state banks has in
creased from 157 to 221, and their re-
sources have grown from $32 26S, SS0.96 to
$50, 507, S92.45
The loans and discounts show an in
crease over the November report of 1888,
amounting to over $4,000, 600, and for the
last year alone the increase in this item
is from 81, 1868, Sf5.0S to sS4, 351 $685. or over
81, 900, GOO.
During the past year the net undivided
profits have grown from $50, 81 to $685.

ALL BIDS REJECTED
CAPITOL COMMISSION TURNS DOWN
ALL OFFERS ON FIRE-PROOF-
ING WORK.
FIGURES CONSIDERED HIGH
Board Holds Long Secret Session to
Decide on Radical Action-NO
Action Likely Before
Spring.

The state capitol commission met yes
terday for the announced purpose OF
opening bids for the fireproofing work i'll
the interior of the new building, and, as
has almost BECOME a confirmed custom
of that body, rejected all of the dds re-
ceived, after spending a greater part of
the day considering them In executive
session go
There were five bids, the lowest being
that of C. j. Swanson, of Minneapolis.
whose figures were SOS, 1888. The other
bids were as follows: Butler-Ryan COM
pany, st. Paul. $241, 119; E. V. Johnson.
company, Chicago, $244, 900; Pioneer Fire
proofing company, Chicago, $4,000: Bar
nett-Record company, Minneapolis, S249,-
403
The only reason given for the rejection
of the bids was that they were hlgher
than the board thought they should De.
No estimate OF. the cost of TINS work
had been prepared in advance by the
architect, but. it said that the figures
mentioned in the bids were SO high as to
surprise some of the members. As soon
as the bids had been opened and read,
Commissioner Corliss moved to reject
them ALL but the motion was lost at that
time. and the board then went into
executive session. AS there was no
other business which would occupy any
great amount of time, 1t is PAIN tndt
there must have been a long discussion
before the commission could arrive at a
determination in this matter
The work contemplated in the bids
opened yesterday embraces the fireproof-
ing work of all kinds to be done in the
interior of the building, filling between
the floors and partitions, and portion OF
the interior finishing work, which Will De
of an ornamental character.
Just what course the commission Will
now take as to this work is not known,
as it has been determined that, for the
present, new bids will not be invited 1t
is said that the work need not necessarily
be done until next year, anyway, and
there is no great hurry:
Beside acting upon the bids, the COM
mission allowed an estimate OF the But
ler-Ryan company in the sum of S2f-
1852 for work done upon the dome OF
the building.

LEGAL REMEDIES AMPLE
SENATOR sOMERvIId4E THINKS
CONSOLIDATION PROBLEM EASY.

Senator George w. Somerville, of
SIeepy Eye. was at the capitol yesterday.
He has given much thought to the rail
way consolidation question and believes
that legal remedies are ample. He says:
The law under which the Northern Sc
curities company charter was issued is
unconstitutional, in that it confers spe-
cial privileges. 1t permits the corpora
ton to buy stock in various railroad
companies, and carrying that out, it might
under it's charter buy up the stock of all
the railroad companies in the country,
shutting out all others from ownership In
railroads. This would certainly be spe-
cial privilege.
If the Northern Securities company I'M
dertakes to exercise any control over
Minnesota railroads or to vote at their
stockholders meeting, it must come in
under the laws of Minnesota That could
be prevented, however, by a special act
of the legislature.
Our railroad companies receive certain
benefits from the state. In return they
are obliged to render certain services.
This consolidation puts them in a posi-
ton where they may be prevented from
rendering such services, and that is suffi-
cient ground to proceed for the forfeit
tlIre of the charters of the railroads
They may also be reached in the federal
courts through the Sherman act.
Senator Somerville hopes the doors will
not be opened to general legislation at
the special session. ...g
