To overpOwer him. Mccormick being a

Burglars entered the pawn shop of
William Weisman, at 224 Washington ave
rue south, and carried away several hun
dred dollars worth Of jewelTy. Burglars
entered the Augsburg seminary and en-
dsaVored to blow open the safe. They
failed in their attempt. A new house that

Night Conference in White House.
Another conference was held at the

Cuban reciprocity, and was participated
in by the president and the house leaders.
including Chairman Payne and Messrs.
Dalzell and Long, of Kansas. of the WAYS

the chairman of the Republican caucus
The members came at the invitation OF
the president, and remained with him for.
an hour. The conference was in the main
an exchange of views between the exec
utlVe and the congressman on the gen
eral reciprocity proposition, and the posi-
tive statement Wasamade that there were
no new developments in the situation,
and that the programme adopted by the
Republican conference providing for a 20
per cent reduction on Cuban imports tenn
porarily would be- carried out in the
house.
The ways and means committee has not
yet reported the bill framed for the pur-
pose of carrying out the caucus plan

absence of one of the Republican repre-
sentatiyes from the city.
President Hearkens to wood.
Tonight's3 conference was a sequence to
that held yesterday By the president with
those congressman opposed to the = per
cent reduction. 1t is believed that one of
the propositions submitted by some of
these congressman providing for repeal
OF the differeItial on refined sugar came
up for discussion tonight, but that it
was dismissed for the reason, as stated
by one of those present that it might
open the way for various amendments
to the tariff law Even though the house
limited the amendment to repeal Of the
differential alone, when the bill reached
the senate an effort, it is claimed, would
be made to add other amendments AMI
lead to a revision of various features Of
the tariff.
Since the arrival in Washington of Cen,
Wood and Presfdent-elect Palma, the
president has received great deal of ad-
ditlonal information regarding affairs in
Cuba, and is strengthened in his belief
that greater concessions than that pro-
posed by the ways and means committee
Dill should be given to Cuba for time.
1t is probable that representations of this
character We're made to the congressman
today. but ii. so they declined to admit
the fact
One of those present after the confer
ence said: mo time has vet been fixed
for consideration Of the reciprocity bill
in the house. l have no doubt an oppor-
tunity will be made to amend the bill
along various lines, but my opinion is it
will be adopted substantially as agreed
upon by the ways and means committee.
There is nothing to say about our con-
ference with the president except that it
was for the purpose OF discussing the
general situation, in which there are no
new developments (,

grievous mistake when he informed a

NEW PHASE OF LAW.

company 10 =Hulld ~ e"
Assistant Attorney General Donahower
returned yesterday from Luverne, where
he represented the railroad and ware
house commission in the suit to compel
the Willmar & Sioux Falls Railway COM
pany and the Burlington & Cedar Rapids
to construct a "Y'' connecting their
tracks at Jts per, a small village, with
large stone quarries in Rock county.
The case involves a new Phase Of the
Jacobson law, the question as to whether
the "" law applies to side tracks ard
spurs or only to main lines. The Jasper
quarries are touched by the main line
of the Burlington, but the Willmar q
Sioux Falls line reaches them with a
spur track, and on the ground that the
law does not require companies TO con-
meet anything but main lines. the COM
panies are resisting the order of the rail-
road commission to construct the y,
which will allow stone shippers to trans
fer cars from one line to the other. The
case was tried before Judge Brown.

REDUCE LUMBER TARIFF.
NJ. q St. L. Makes Cut of Five GEMS
n Hundred to Chicago.

Somewhat Of a surprise was sprung on
railway officials when the NJ. & St. l.
issued a new lumber tariff from Mime
apolis to Chicago, naming a rate of S
cents per hundred. This is a cut of 5
cents a hundred The NJ. & St. L. claim
that their reason for making the rate
was on account of rates on lumber being
manipulated all of the time and this
was about the basis that business was
being hauled at.
Some of the traffic men predict that the
action Of the NJ. q St /. will precipitate
a generalization and fear that published
tariffs viii be reduced to a point where
the business win be hauled without a
profit. Others claim that, owing to the
activity Of the interstate commerce. COM
mission, secret rates are impracticable
and that roads might as well fac the
