y Duluth Herald cay: A. d. Reed,
of Glencoe, Mimi, who 10 promot,ng
the interests Of tho prospective Du-
luth. Glencoe, st. Cloud L Albert
Lea railroad, arrived in tho city
this morning. This is. NJ. Reeds
first visit to the city since heNas
here last spring. yith his. prospectus
OF the new eompany and endeavoled
to interest Do|nthlans in tho projEt.
Mr.. Reed says the outlook for the
final construction OF the new lins
with Albert Lea az the southern ,t6r-
minal and Duluth as the northern
terminal point, is excellent, and that
some work is already being done: al
though very active operations are
awaiting financial arrangements
that are pending. The company
has done some surveying and has es-
Inmates of the cost of the roau west
of St. Cloud. 49,.
The interests in control of the old
Little Falls, Mile Lacs & Duluth
road are desirous OF having the new
company use the line to Little Fa lie
and it is very likely That such an
arrangement will be made.
The idea is to MAKE connections
with the Illinois Central at Albert
Lea, and Mr.. Reed says that the ILL.,
inois Central company has agreed
to operate the new road if it il built.
Should there be a failure on the part
of the Illinois to fulfill it's promise,
there are three other roads into Al
bert Lea. the Milwaukee. the st.
Louis and the Burlington l., Cedar
Rapids roads, either of which will
make connections. -
One of the objects of Mr. Reeds
visit to Duluth now is to find some
active, energetic man at the heAd of
the lakes that will accept q position
80 director in the new company aud
take an interst in the effort To- bring
the line through to Duluth. The an
nual meeting Of the company vim be
held next month"; = ~ " q - -
Theproisct has been pushed along

has been shown has expressed be-
lief in the feasibility of the new road

" Letter From Japan


: r. II
Letter From japan =
Friends OF John sehr, formerly cf
Pierz. and we'll known in Little Falls,
will be surprised to learn that Mr..
eehr is now living at KOBE, japan:
having left tho Klondike region.
From letter written from Kobe,
under date Of Oct, 29th, to Mr..
5ehr's half brother. John Philippi OF
Piers, We take the following ex-
tracts: = -. -:
II am now many miles farther
away from you than I ever was. I
am now in Kobe, Japan. It is quite
q change. In Dawson City, almost
winter all year, and here scarcely
any winter all. The climate is
about the same here az in southern
California. / left Dawson City Sep
tember first for Seattle, stayed there
II days, then l boarded a Pacifi !.
ocean liner TOR Japan. It took Us
18 days to come across. have been:
in Kobe two weeks now. The first
days it was very hot, I could hardly
stand it, comingfrom a cold country
and not being used to heat. The
climate is fine here in summer. The
Japs walk around with not much
clothes on. They would not be al.
lowed to walk on the streets that
way in the United States. When I left
Seattle, l intended to go TO Siberia,
but was so we'll pleased with this
place that I concluded to stay.
There are about 1000 white people
here, English. German. French, etc.
in fact all nations belonging to the
Caucasian race are represented. The
white people do not work. They
are all in business as bankers, store.
keepers or bookkeepers. All manual
labor is done by the Japs. There is
q great difference between hsre and
America. One can SEQ many things
here you do not see in America. The
houses are all built very low, mostly
al! one story high aud none over
two stories. The atreets are very
narrow and no street cars. Horses
are rarely seen Oh the streets, but
two whssled buggies. hauled by men,
are the only conveyaness. I have
gone into partnership with a Ger
man baker. hays. started. a res.
and bakery and I believe
We will do WE'LL, There ia bat, one
bakery here owned by a Jap aud
they can not bake bread. The Japs
eat no bread, they live on rice and
fish: A Jap can live il h earns but
two dollars a month. The principal
crop is rice AZ in China. The Japs
have a very queer. religion. When
they 60 to their temple or place of
worship they take rice and fish along
which is put on q certain place for
their god and taeir priest or pastor
gets the Offering. Twill sehd you a
few Japanese postal cards with pic
lures OF their temples inside and out
side. also street scenes, etc. All
appears very funny to an American
or European, but am we'll pleased
and like the place. There are many
battle ships or men-of.war here.
They belong to all nations of the
world and stay in the harbor for one
or two weeks, then go to another
place.

The HeraId's School Issue.

To THE TRIBUNE:
 The Herald says the question to be settled in our school elec- ton is whether or not shall be re- tained as principal, and that G. R. Blasingame, c. H. Smith and J, M. Jernigan are candidates who will oppose my rentention, while G. V. Poynor, c. B. Grim and E.. Wise are candidates who it is understood will favor. In each of these statements the Her. aid is deliberately wrong.
 1st. Mr. Smith, one of the so- called opposing candidates, says the platform of the opposition has three blanks: 1st. To do away with Prof. Burney; End. To re- duce thehigh school to a common school; 3rd. To build school house near the depot.
 2nd. Mr. Smith said that he was not in favor of either of these things.
 3rd. Neither Poynor, Grim, nor Wise is committed to me or any one else, but will select the best principal available. They are all known to be progressive school men, a statement that cannot be truthfully made about all of the three opposing. can- didates. Neither Poynor, Grim nor Wise has ever shown his pro- gressiveness by lodging the school tax as did Mir. Jernigan by assessing his stock of goods in a country district and then sending to school here two terms before paying one dime of tax.
 Did space in THE TRIB- UNE permit 1 should be glad to discuss at length these men and questions but in the limited space. available 1 can only say that it had been my intention to ask the board to get a new principal for. next term, but since these "broad minded, progressive school men," whose real issue is to build a school house near the depot and abolish the High School, have, seen proper to seek to blind the people by declaring me the issue,, l am perfectly willing to have the, votes counted that way.
 Respectfully,
 H. P. BURNEY..

Another Banker Here.

THE TRIBUNE has been fooled so.much on bank propositions for Green Forest that we do not go wild over schemes looking to the establishment of a bank here any more, but Tuesdays east bound train brought us a man-J. E. Franklin of Frederickstown, Mo.-Whose talk on this line of business strikes US quite forcibly and we believe he is behind an effort tiiat will give us a good, substan tial bank.
 MT. Franklin quickly demonstrated his estimation of the town by buying the handsome stone business house of Hoag & McGruder, and the vacant lot just south of this building. He also immediately let the contract to l.. E. Harbert to erect bank build ing on this lot. He submitted propo- sition to our business men to open a bank, incorporated under the laws of the state, with capital of $2D, 900, 12,- GOO of which he subscribes himself and takes S4 900 for friend whom he pro- poses for cashier. He is now making an effort to float the other S4,0O0 stock among our citizens and is not discour- aged with the prospect.
 MT. Franklin bears excellent letters of recommendations as a banker and business man. Prominent among his letters is one from the president of the Continental National Bank of St. Louis addressed directly to the citizens of Green Forest. We hope to be able to report the matter a success in our next issue.
 LATER: The bank stock has all been taken and material is now being placed on the ground for the bank building. A number of our strongest business men have become ind 3atifiel with the enter prise and it is hardly possible that any thing can hinder the bank from being putin operation at the earliest time possible. MT. Franklin says that the doors of the new institution will be open for business by July 15.

THE CHINESE
Government Notified the Ministers
Have Put it at 1881, 900, 900

Pekin. May S.-The foreign ministers
today decided to address a collective
note to the Chinese government, in
forming it hat a joint indemnity Of
$50, 0O0, 900 taels would be demanded and
asking what methods of payment is
proposed. A reply is expected at the
end Of the week., which will probably
p to meet the indemnity by rails
ing the customs tariff.
1t is considered likely that the powers
will assent to some such measure, in
return for concessions on the part of
China in the shape of a total abolition
of the likin, the placing of import du-
ties on a gold basis, really free navlga-
ton of Chinese waters and the removal
Of impedimentS to navigation and the
tax at Woosung.
The ministers were unable to agree
as to the desirability of opening the
whole empire to trade and residence,
some of them holding that it would be
asking China to assume too great re-
sponsibility, and that, under n pres
n system of government, it would be
impossible to guarantee the safety OF
the numerous foreigners who would
flock into the interior if the empire
were entirely opened.
Washington, May S.-Information has
been received here confirming the ASSo-
ciated Press dispatch from Pekin. re-
gardilg the amount of indemnity to
be demanded. This total has now beer
reduced from something like $500, 900, OOC
to 1927 ,000, 900.

THE LEYLAND LINE ALE.
Ratified by the MISUNDERSTANDING
to British Sh1powners.

London, May THE Leyland Line
shareholders unanimously confirmed
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT agreement today
After Mr.. Mattinson. who presided,
had explained the terms of the con-
tract, Mr.. Ellerman, chairman of the
line, set forth his views on the trans
Atlantic trade. He said the outlook
was not promising for British shipown-
ers in view Of the large American tom
mage building, the prospects for the re-
turn Of hat rad of vessels now dl-
verted to South Africa, and the prob
ability of an American subsidy. He did
not believe that parliament would in
f1ict counter-vailing duties on subsidiz-
ed American vessels. Mr.. Morgan's
railroad and manufacturing interests
would nable him to make the purchase
of the Leyland Line profitable.
Mr.. Ellerman severely critiZed the
antiquated British navigation laws,
which put British vessels at an in
creasing disadvantage in competing
with foreigners.
Mr.. Mattinson said the Americans
were evidently in the transatlantic
trade to- stay. Trade does not follow
the flag; it follows capital. The con
ditionS favor their success. The fact
that this purchase has been possible
should be a grave warning to Great
Britain to revise the navigation reg
ulations which threaten her suprem-
acy-

BIG FfRE AT AUGUsrA
Cotton Warehouses with Many Bales
OF Cotton Burned

Augusta. May s.-What looked to be
a fire that would stop only when ii had
wiped out he cotton storage district
or Augusta broke out in one Of the
storage compartments Of the Union
Compress Company's building at 1
O'Clock today. When the blaze was
discovered IT had gained sufficient
Roadway to cover the roof OF the build
ing before the alarm could be respond
ed to.
An alley-way about six feet wide
separates the compress and Phinizy &
Cos warehouse. The high breeze tina
was blowing in a very short time
swept the flames W the heads Of the
nremen TO this building in which was
stored 200 bales OF cotton.
From here IL was blown to Whitney
& COS warehouse and seemed beyond
control OF the department. In the
whitney warehouse there were $500
bales stored. and o o the whole was a
this structure were the only ones TO
give way. Had it not been for this the
fire department could not have stopped
it where they did. though they are
being highly commended on all sides,
the mayor personally thanking the
chief of the fire department.
The losses are as follows IN the cot
ton: Whitney G. CO.. S105. 900; Phinizy
& Co. $50. 400: Compress Company S4,-
900. From this it is possible that 5000
can be saved. The loss on buildings is
estimated at Sc. 500. The cotton is fully
covered by insurance.
