VAN SAINT SCORES AGAIN.

A number of Minneapolis jobbers
recently addressed letter to Gov.
VanSant asking him to withdraw
action against the Northern Securi-
ties Co., and give that company a
fair opportunity for testing by ex-
perience whether good or evil will
come of it.
The Governor replied promptly.
After calling attention to the two
sections of the statutes where the
control of one road by another is
prohibited, and where consolida-
ton of two competing lines is pro-
hibited, the Governor says thatsthe
consolidation of the Northern Paci-
hc and Great Northern is clearly a
violation of the provisions of the
statutes referred to, and that when
he was inauagurated as Governor
be took a solemn oath to enforce the
laws, and hence sit is my bounden
duty to prevent, if posi- BILE, the
consolidation referred to, because
such consolidation is in violation of
the clear and unmistakable provi-
sions of the law.
THE sections above quoted have
been upon the statute book S for over
a quarter OF a century. Not only is
the letter Of the law, but also the
settled policy OF this State against
the consolidation of parallel and
competing railroad lines. Colnpeti-
tion in the matter of rates always
has been and ever will be benef-
cial to the people. and no specious
argumentor statement from those
desiring to do away with such com
petition is sufficient to meet plain
facts derived from common exper-
fence.
However, the question of wheth-
er the law is wise or unwise does
not confront me-
The law exists and has been vio-
lated. Ny duty is plain.
I, therefore, must respectfully
decline to comply with the requests
contained in your petition, and shall
continue as vigorously as possible
to vindicate the laws of our State. !

mating q band of elk near Steamboat Springs. In
Routt County At the time the hunters
nearly signed their own death warrants They
had just arrived at Steamboat Springs and had
loudly announced that they intended to have
some big game hunting. On the night of their
arrival a heavy snow fell. A band of elk was
caught near the town, and the citizens OF Steam
boat Springs made arrangements to feed the
animals until they could make their way to a
lower level The "tenderfeet' came upon the
band however and were delighted. The hunt
ers approached on snoWShoes and killed the
struggling animals with dubbed rifles. Half the
band had been killed when a mountaineer ar
rived on the scene and informed the tender
feet" that they had made a mistake that was
likely to prove fatal Being fairly skilled in the
art of using snowshoes, and having their feet
winged with fear, the huntsmen managed to win
the race to the Wyoming line and thereby es-
&aped the vengeance that their indignant pur-
}uers were prepared to wreak

''DiVINE SARAH' HAS MUCH
 TROUBLE WITH AUTHOR
 AND STYRS UP PARIS

Paris March 15.-The Parisians are keenly interested in the developments of petty quarrel between Sarah Bernhardt and Catulle Mendez, the author and poet, about the production of the later's poeti- cal drama, Saint Theresa" which had been promised to the Comedie Francaise. Madame Bernhardt heard the drama begged to be allowed to produce it, and Mendez withdrew 1t from the Comedie Francaise and gave 1t to her under srip- ulations that the play was not to be pro- duced outside of Paris.
 Mendez subsequently, took it back on the ground that Madame Bernhardt made arrangements to go to London, which precluded a satisfactory run for Saint Theresa"
 Madame Bernhardt replied to a series of letters passing between the two par ties from which the story is deducted in which my dear" was finally dropped for more formal address. The play was finally left with Madame Bernhardt. The rehearsals were begun, but M. Mendez says he found Madame Bernhardt had let

Washington. March 15.-Announcement was made in the Senate committee on public health today by Dr. Wyman, sur geon general of the marine hospital ser vice, of an amicable adjustment between his bureau and the medical fraternity of the country concerning the scope of the marine hospital service.
 The state boards of health have agreed to the following substitute for the seventh section of the till introduced by Senator Perkins:
 "That when in the opinion of the sur geon general of the United States hos pital service the interests of the public health would be promoted by conference with the state. territorial or District of Columbia board of health, or health au- thorities from the application from five state boards of health or quarantine officers the surgeon general of the United States health service is authorized to in- vite reports of such state boards of health and quarantine officers to send delegates not more than one from each state or ter ritory to said conference, and when thus convened said delegates shall be entitled to reimbursement from the necessary ex- penses of travel and maintenance not ex- ceeding five days at that place of con- ference in accordance with such regula- tion as may be made by the Secretary Of the Treasury"
 The committee indicated a willingness to report the bill but adopted a num- Der of amendments to it and referred others to subcommittee for more care ful consideration. One of the amendments which was agreed to makes 1t obligatory instead of optional upon the surgeon gen. eral to call conference when request for such conference is made by the boards of fealth of five states.
 Another amendment which was agreed to, relieves the United States of all ex- pense for such conferences.

 The envoys arrived in Chicago from Washington yesterday. Dr. Clark reach ed here Thursday. Dr. Clark's visit and the motive therefor, according to the In ter Ocean, is vieled in mystery. and it also alleges that it was against his wishes that his presence in the city at this time became known to anyone outside of the officers of the Transvaal League.
 Dr. Clark Is known to be one of the strongest opponents the English war party has today Until two months ago he left no stone unturned in the House of Commons in his efforts to have the war brought to close. He Is now one of the acknowledged leaders of the peace party in England. In his opinion, the Bo ITS should receive liberty. His mis- sion to this country it is said. has been kept secret and none of the Boer envoys or Cransvaal League officials will. say much of It.
 The dinner was behind closed doors and no one save the host and his five guests heard what was discussed. Those pres ent were the three special envoys, pr. Clark, s. A. Calhoun, a member of the Chicago Transvaal League, and MT. Van Vlessigen.

STEEL STRUCTURES
 WILL FINALLY FALL
GEN. SMITH SAYS STEEL RAPIDLY CORRODES AND EVENTUALLY THE BUILDINGS WILL FALL OF THEIR OWN WEIGHT.

Chicago March 15.-"The steel frame work in many of the big buildings in the business district of Chicago is cor roding making them very dangerous. It is only a question of a few years when these buildings will fall to the ground"
 This statement was made by General William Soy Smith at the thirty-f1fth an- nual dinner of the Chicago Real Estate Board. He added That the steel frame work of some of the sky scrapers is in the condition stated is nothing short of pub- lie outrage"
 The speaker explained that his state ments were based on personal observa- tions and investigations.
 'The steel frame work imbedded in concrete will last two thousand years" he said. But the steel frame work In many of the big buildings Is left free to the action of the air and gases which circulate the tile and a space about the steel.
 'The owners of the structures have the steel painted with oil. This oil will with stand the corroding process about three years. Then begins the corroding of the steel and within a few years your sky scraper will fall''
 The speaker said that the elevated road structures would not withstand the corrosion. He asserted that within ten years they would be dangerous and with In twenty years out of service. The corrosion of one-fifth of the thickness of the steel frame work of the structures, he said, would render them incapable of bearing their own weight.

He real ized that all was not well and got back his manuscript. which he wrote he would place in a drawer strewn with red roses symbols of his admiration for Sarah Bern hardt and with violets emblems of her fiekleness.
 The last communication of M. Mendez was written in the third person and was addressed to Madame Sarah Bernhardt."
 Madame Bernhardt replied to the pub lication of these letters by explaining that M. Mendez was wrong. about the arrangements which he thought would interfere with his play. She intendtS to give a of thirty nights, and could not arrange for lonfsr run, because of the risk of losing London season. which brings large sum of money, and complained that M Mendez resorted to a trick to get back the manuscript which, he said, was only needed for a few cor rections Madame Bernhardt concludes her public explanation by saying she all most wrecked her physical system and mental composure during the rehearsals. and after the crisis came to be treated so shamefully was in itself a condemna- tion of M.
