sUBCOMMITTEEs TO MEET.
VIII Organize for Raising Funds fol
Free Music.

subcommitteesa appointed to raise money
for the park music fund in the neighbor-
hood .of. the various parks will meet to-
night at Boutel1 Bros. store, when the
work will be laid out and the territory Of
each committee will be defined. Com
mitteemen are asked to go to the Fifth
street entrance of the store as they will
be unable to secure admission otherwise.
The fund is growing slowly. It is now
a little past the $1,000 mark, but receipts
are far from being satisfactory. For
such an end it should be easy to raise
$4,000 in Minneapolis, in a short space of
time. Minneapolis is one of the few lead
ing cities of the country which does not
have free park music during the summer
season; and If citizens generally appre-
ciated the popularity of free music else
where. they would assuredly interest
themselves in securing like amusement

PAYMENT OF GOVERNMENT
CHECKS and WARRANTS
Certification of Endorsements
No Longer Necessary.
An Order Issued by Secretary Shaw
Yesterday Removes Troublesome
Bit of Red Tape.

Secretary Shaw yesterday issued an or
der doing away with the heretofore obiig-
atory custom of certifying the indorse-
ments on all Government checks and war
rants. The order is considered an impor-
tant one, and 1t is believed will win the
new head OF the Treasury Department the
gratitude of all business men who have
dealings with the Government. The an-
noyance caused by the red tape which has
heretofore surrounded the payment Of
bills contracted by the Government has
been very great.
Prior to the issuance of the order yes
terday the rule has been that all Govern
ment checks and warrants must be not
only fully and completely Endorsed in the
regular way. but must also be accom-
panied by a certificate setting forth the
authority of he indorser to make the in
dorsement.
Vexatious delay has often arisen from
this ruling. the visible benefit OF which
was slight. With bankers and business
men it has proved a decidedly unpopular
stipulation in the transaction of Govern
ment business. The Government has not
considered ordinary Endorsements accept
ed by banks as sufficient guaranty unless
accompanied by the certificate.
The result of the order issued yesterday
will be that subtreasuries will hereafter
pay Government warrants and checks
when Endorsed and the Endorsement is
guaranteed by the banks presenting the
same for payment. The transaction Is
thus reduced to one of simple business
caution. Hereafter the Government viii
pay its obligations much as cautious
business man or banker would pay SINH
larly Endorsed paper.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE
MADE At WHITE House
Architect MeKim and the
President Confer.
Changes to Be Made During the Pres
ident's Absence This Summer at
Oyster Bay-0ffices to Be
Vacated.

Mr.. Charles f. McKim. of the Park
Commission, was very busy with his foot
rule about the White House yesterday.
He was gathering ideas and data for ex-
tensiye improvements to be made about
the mansion. after quarters for the ex-
ecutiye force have been provided in the
temporary structure, to cost $4,000 or
$50 90. and which will be erected in the
White House grounds.
Mr. McKim does not know himself just
all the improvements which will be made
to convert the White House into a dwell
ing instead of the semi residence, semi
Office building as il is now. He has not
perfected his plans. but will do SO quick
ly. for the reason that they must receive
the approval of the President and the even
mere important reason that an appropria-
ton must be secured with which to work.
The work will be done while President
Roosevelt is in Oyster Bay. When he
returns, after the warm weather is over.
he will find. If the plans now being talked
over between himself and Mr.. Mckim bear
fruit, that the rooms now used as Of
fees on the second floor of the White
House will have been converted into liy-
ing rooms; that a new floor has been laid
in the East Room. and, in fact, the whole
interior of the White House changed and
improved

LONDON DOCK CHARGES.
Mr.. Tawney Explains Object of Bill
Aimed at Obnoxious Tax.

Under call of committees in the House
yesterday. Mr.. Fletcher tRep., Mimi pre-
sented the bill reported from the Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
making it unlawful for agents or owners
of steamship companies engaged in the
foreign trade to insert in bills of lading
provision releasing them from liability
for dock, wharf, or Tightening charges for
which they are responsible by the law or
customs of the country to which the goods
are consigned.
Mr.. Tawney rep. Mimi. author of the
bill, said that while general in its terms,
it would apply TO but one foreign port
that of London The law of England
charges the vessels owner with the cost
of unloading cargo, but since 1888, under
an arrangement between the London and
India Dock Company and the North Allan
tic steamship companies. The charges had
been shifted from the vessel to the cargo.
This. he said. was discrimination
against the products of the United States.
being in effect an export tax on them be-
cause the landing charge was made
against cargoes from no other ports than
these of the North Atlantic.

Those who have proposed the present

REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S
DISCUSS CUBAN TARIFF
Steering Committee and
Other Leaders Confer.
Sanguine That a Bill Providing a Con-
cession of Twenty five Per Cent Can
Be Passed Without Aid.

\ conference of Republican Senator'S
took place yesterday afternoon in the
room of the Committee on Appropria-
lions 1t was attended by members of
the steering committee and other in
fluential Republicans.
The object was to talk over the Cuban
tariff situation in the hope of bringing
about harmony Of action among the Re
publican Senators. No definite agreement
sanguine that it will be possible TO frame
and pass, with Republican votes alone. a
bill providing for reciprocal tariff re-
duction with Cuba of about 25 per cent.
The Senate bill will be prepared with
out any regard TO the action of the House
and without consulting the Democratic
Senators, on lines originally proposed,
leaving the differences between the two
houses 10 be settled in conference.
Republican Opposition Small.
The number Of Republican Senators
from beet sugar States, who indorse the
action of their colleagues in the House,
is so small that 1t is not likely they will
be able to prevent their party colleagues
from carrying out their intention of en-
acting legislation in accordance with the
recommendation of the President in his
annual message. and in line with the more
or less official promises that have been
made to the Cuban PEOPLE.
The Republican leaders of the Senate
have already determined not to enter
tain a proposition to abolish the differ
entail on refined sugars, but to stand by
the program of cutting out all attempts
IN almond the tariff law.
The subject will hot be taken up In the
Committee on Relations with Cuba until
the Republican members have agreed up
on the basis of bill. No investigating
committee will be sent to Cuba, and no
rebate plan will be adopted.
A Straightout Measure.
The Senate bill will be straightout
reciprocal proposition. and will eventual
~ be adopted by the Senate Republicans
as party measure.
The House beet sugar Republicans are
somewhat ashamed of what they did last
Friday, and some of them admit ii.
A Senator who has made study OF
tariff matters said yesterday that 1t was
absurd to talk about passing the House
bill in view of the fact that If ii should
become a law not another pound of SUI
gar would be refined in the United States.
