PARIS RIOTS
Clerical Outbreaks Result in
900 Arrests = More
$500 Trouble Feared. - - -.

Paris, July 2s.-There is every prospect
the fresh disturbances as sequel to yes
terday's clerical outbreaks as protests
against the governments enforcement OF
the law against unauthorized congrega-
tions. 1t now appears that 800 persons
were arrested vest erday and numerous
prosecutions are pending, though the ma
Jority OF the prisoners were released.
Fresh meetings to protest in favor of
the religious orders are to be held to-
day, while the radical and socialist papers
are urging the republicans to meet at the
pantheon as counter demonstration.
: Several hundred persons, chiefly women
and children, created a demonstration to-
day in front of church in the Ternes
quarter while some expelled sisters were
departing. The police interfered and sew

port from Minneapolis that the National
Federation of Millers had determined to
try to prevent the reelection of Speaker
Henderson to congress because of his de-
1iberate refusal to permit the London
dock bill to come up for consideration
in the house at the last session: y -:
Speaker Henderson's attitude toward
the dock bill is we'll known here. He was
pleaded with BY number Of members to
permit the bill to come up for considera-
tion So that fair vote might be had on
it after full debate. But he refused and
at the close of the session tried to dodge
by saying that he had given several op-
portunities for the bill to be disposed Of.
That statement was more than half a
falsehood, for he never permitted the bill
to come UP when there was a chance for
It to reach vote 1t did come up sew
oral times under call of committees late
in, the: day: when the house was about
ready to adjourn, but Speaker Hender-
son and everybody else knew that under
such conditions it could not be brought
to a vote. -. = sEII ~ .~ ..>-.:
Many. people are. asking to-day what
Fthe National Federation, of Millers is,
what 1t represents andtwhether it is off,
cered by forceful men. If 1t means busi-
ness It. can worry Colonel Henderson
considerably, but that 1t can accomplish
his defeat Is hardly believed by Washing
ton politicians ~''' - -.
I A heavy cutting down of his majority,
however, might operate against his re-
election. as speaker, which would suit
the millers as we'll as his actual defeat
at the polls, for as plain member OF
the house he would have no power, to
influence legislation arbitrarily.
1t is believed by well informed men
| that II the next house could be made up
of the same men who composed the last
one, Henderson would he defeated as
speaker. Already there is much talk
of opposition to him, and more would be
heard If the proper material for can
didate against him could be secured. 1t
| is pretty well understood here; that the
London dock bill can never be consid-
cred by the house as long as he is the
speaker unless he changes front. " :. &

alarmed over the condition of her hus-
band.
A. C. PAUL,s COMMENT
While in Washington He Discusse,
Minneapolis Affairs.

I'd -
While in Washington He Discusses
Minneapolis Affairs.
The wide interest in the Minneapolis
housekeeping is evidenced by the promi-
nence given Minneapolis municipal news
in the eastern papers. The Washington
Post, OF July FL, published a long inter-
view with A. G. Paul, of which this is a
part: tF
Fammany tiger. 1t has had q taste Of what
1T is to have a police force, chief OF police
and mayor who are in sympathy with joint
keepers and is willing to be delivered per-
manently, from the methods of politicians
who play into the hands Of the criminal
classes. Under our antiquated charter the
mayor has but little more authority than a
chief of police In other cities, and it is for
tunate that no more power was vested in our
present mayor. Both Mayor Anes and his
brother, Colonel Fred W. Ames, chief of po-
lice are under, indictment for collusion with
crooks, and both are out Of the city. The
mayor is in Indiana, where he has taken
charge. of a aEsanatorium. 1t is not known
where the chief Of police is, but his friends
say that he will return to face charges
which have been brought against him. Mean
time Tom Brown, the mayors private secre-
tary is acting as chief Of police. He was
formerly police reporter on one of the Min
neapolis dailies. ....: -. -!.'.
tt is not known what the outcome of the
angle will be-. In case Mayor Ames re-
signs before September, a special election will
be called to select a SUCCESSOR to him. II
his resignation comes after that time, the
council will appoint a mayor. All this trouble
was brought about by. defective primary
election laws, which have been changed. I'm
der the old law candidates for Office were
not required to declare what party they would
af1late with. DR.. Ames took advantage OF
this defect in the law. Although he has
been democrat all his life, he was elected
by the republicans. ..:sf.Sss 2 ="
The rottenness which has characterized the
head OF our city government and the police
force does not extend throgh all parts OF the
city government. Minneapolis has learned a
lesson and will probably never again fall into
the hands of such crowd as now controls 1t.
The Minneapolis journal., 1902-07-23

:. While there is only one person in Min
:neapolis who definitely knows the exact
location Of the chief of police, The con
clusion that he has thought 1t advisable
to get out Of the United States is most
plausible. ..
That he went to Chicago from Minneap-
oils is certain. That he was seen. at the
Planters hotel in St. Louis last Sunday
is reasonably we'll established. +, That he
took trunk when he left Minneapolis is
testified to by his neighbors on Fourth
avenue IS who, saw it leave his house in
an; express. wagon. His successive ap-
pearances at Chicago and St. Louis are in
the line Of travel to, Mexico. His trunk
indicates long trip and a, long stay. I,

FIGHT IS ON AGAIN
Mines and Their Valuations Before
St. Louis County Bard.
KELLOGG SPEAKS FOR U. s. STEEL
Schedule of Relative Figures Sub
mitted-Work VIII Take
Several Days.

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Mimi. July 23.-The board Of
equalization took up the fixing Of the
valuation Of the mines to-day. Repre-
sentatives Of all the big mining interests
Of the county were present, including the
heads of the operating departments as
well as the legal talent.
In accordance with their usual custom
the mining men had arranged a schedule
of relative valuations and the aggregate
amount was $3.50, $50. 1t Is not sup
posed the board will accept these figures
as it's own. but they furnish the basis
from which an equitable horizontal raise
can be made. Two years ago the mining
companies submitted a total Of 81, 100 900,
and the county board raised the total
to about $4,000, ,000.. "a
Of the total sum submitted this year,
the mines of the United States Steel Cor
poration represent $5,490,51O, or about so
per cent of the whole. Frank B. Kellogg.
representing the corporation, addressed
the board. He asked that this company
be treated fairly in the matter Of taxa
ton. He said the corporation had come
into the community and had done vast
amount of good. He asked that the valu-
alton be not raised to an enormous figure
simply because the organization was re-
garded as q trust. The prosperity OF
the people means the prosperity OF the
company and 1t wishes to do its Fair
share in the support Of the expense Of the
government. .-.-.''5is s~'
He said the valuations of the mines are
placed at fabulous sums by stories that
are not based on facts. St. Louis county
pays more taxes to the state than any
other county. The ore carrying roads will
pay s375,OO0 this year. The Missabe and
Duluth & Iron Range railroads pay more
to the state than the county Of Hennepin.
They pay annually 100000 in taxes more
than other roads in this county.
The board adjourned after hearing OF h
ers along the same lines. The fixing Of
the valuation will take several days in all
probability.
