Steel corporate have become a chief
topic in London. The continental press
to day contains further details of his do

These have been supplemented by pri-

American multi millionaire and Pitts
burger is spending money with reckless
ness fairly amazing to the European mind
1t Is current gossip that the idiosyncrasies
of Mr.. Schwab have been the cause Of
some worry to the officers of the steel
corporation.
According to the letter also, Mr.. schwab
will likely have an audience with Pope
Leo, and it is rumored he will donate a
large sum Of money to the church. The
letter concludes.
Am afraid Mr.. Schwab will not expert

attendants are under a great strain owing
to his incessant recklessness. under

change Of scene may prove beneficial. He
is throwing money away like water.
Italians never met such a man, and pro-

NOW HEBRON GOES OFF
Another Prohib. Candidate Name
Stricken From the Ballot.

Still another prohibition candidate will
not have his name upon the official bal
lot this fall. The latest victim is Fred
erich c. Heffron candida te for the legis-
lature in the thirty ninth district, whose
name was ordered blotted off the ballots
by Judge Pond this morning. Action was
taken In response to a petition filed by
George l.. Dingman, who related that
Heffron had secured $50 names to petit
tons for u. c. fIeffron,' y. G. Heffrons,"
&c. J. Hefferns," and ~ c.. Hefron," not
one of which Is his true name. Moreover.
the petition stated that out of the total
number Of names about 100 appeared to
be copies, made by the same individual,
and in one handwriting. Fred B. Snyder
appeared for the petitioner, who IS sa id
TO be working in the interest Of P. G.
Deming, republican candidate in the same
district.
The county ballots have already been
printed. On those for his district the
name appears as j. C.. Heffron,' but
the court this morning ordered the county
auditor to blot it out The ballots there
fore, will be returned to the printer, with
instructions to send them again through
the press and to blot out the name and
party designation with a heavy black
line so to make both unintelligible.
The thirty ninth district Is made up of
the second and ninth wards and the town
of st. Anthony The courts ruling will
necessitate change in some $500 bal
lots.

COMMERCIAL CLUB POLITICS
G. w. Gardner Apx-Ars as A. C. PauPs
Rival for the office Of

Unusual interest is being taken in the
approaching Commercial club election.
owing to the fact that there is a lively
contest over the election Of president
In opposition to A. G.. Paul. the present
head Of the club, whose friends have per-
suaded him to stand for reelection, is
Charles w. Gardner one Of the board Of
directors. Mr.. Gardner was induced to
come out at recent meeting Of his
friends. and the supporters Of both men
are now putting in much Of their spare
time lobbying in the interests Of their
respective candidates.
The argument used in Mr.. PauPs behalf
is that in addition to what has been ac-
complishea under his most prosperous re-
gime there are other weighty projects in
hand with which he has been so closely
identified that they cannot be satsfactor-
lily engineered unless he remains at the
heln. Although it has been rather against
(ss1e policy OF the club heretofore to elect
& president for two terms in succession,
:aIr. Pauls friends believe that the circum-
stances justify them In pushing his
<laims.
The men behind Mr.. Gardner say in
Ais behalf that he is one Of the oldest
active members Of the club, that he has
always worked hard in it's interests, and
that he is so conversant with club af
fairs that he would have no difficulty in
taking hold of matters just where Mr..
Paul leaves off.

SAVED BY A TUG
Horse Skidded Over Asphalt for a
Block by Runaway Mate.

One of a team Of heavy draft horses of
the Baltimore Packing company a few
days ago had remarkable escape from
what promised to be a fatal runaway.
The horses took fright while standing on
Sixth street between First avenue and
Hennepin, and in spite of all the drivers
attempts to control them. dashed madly
down the street toward the Central mar
ket. AS they crossed First avenue one
horse slipped and fell. The dead weight
Of the fallen animal was not enough to
stop it's running mate, which kept up a
wild gallop. dragging the other horse along
the asphalt. The horse that was down
was skidded along the pavement for near
ly a block. When the other was finally
stopped. it was believed the under horse
would be found to be so badly injured
that it would have to be shot. It was
supposed that its flesh would be found
torn from its bones. There was great
surprise, therefore, when, after the har-
ness had been cut away, the horse arose
unharmed to it's feet. Investigation
showed that the horse had fallen with one
Of the tugs under him lengthwise in such
| way to balance him nicely and pre-
vent his coming in violent contact with
the pavement.

GOOD CUBAN NEWS
An English Railroad Man Says Con-
fidence and Quiet Prevails.

London, Oct. 30.-At a meeting of the
Cuban Central Railway, Limited, Wednes-
day, the chairman, J. White Todd, spoke
of the political and eco
nomic prospects of Cuba in spite Of the
present depression in the sugar trade, He
said the new government inaugurated in
Cuba under American auspices was pro-
ceedlng most satisfactorily from the
standpoint Of the British investor Per-
feet quiet and confidence prevailed AS
Stunning the passage of the American reci-
proc1ty bill, coupled with the favorable
influence of the Brussels sugar conven-
ton, there was every reason to expect a
great business revival in Cuba and an
era of general prosperity. The best in
forma ton now pointed to the sugar crop
being at least equal In quantity to that of
last year. 4, $50
!. Referring to the PRONUNCIATION of the
new railroad laws, prior to the American
evacuation Of the island. the chairman
said the American authorities had shown
every disposition to act fairly towards
the invested interests of the railroads.
He thought the revised laws were not
only not prejudicial to the company. but
that they constituted additional protec-
ton for the companys interests.

Kings county prison was the sentence
to-day by City Judge KEEL
1oeg of Yonkers upon w. B. Raymond,

list had been negligent and that he should

SOMEONE IS KNOCKING !"
Cause of Conflicting Reports Over
the Alterations in the
White House.

From The journal Bureau, Room Is, Post
Building, Washi',ato1.
Washington Oct. 30.-The conflicting
reports as to the alterations of the White
House are of a character to suggest that
some one is practicing the gentle art of
tergiversa ton. One day it is announced
that the architect has forgotten to provide
a stairway between the first and second
story; then it is the heating apparatus
that has been omitted. Again it is said
that the decorations will not be done until
spring; which announcement is followed
by one to the effect that the president is
just about to move in. Meantime the
building is carefully guarded by policemen
at every gate and one or two private
watchmen head off all trespassers.
TO understand what has produced this
remarkable state Of affairs it should be
known that the rebuilding of the White
House has occasioned a fierce feud. 1t
appears that the local authorities resented
bitterly the award Of the work to a Boston
architect. The Boston architect has hurt
himself and his interests by great tactless-
ness. He has insisted on acting as if the
work were something in which the public
had no interest, or any right to inquire,
and the reasonable efforts of correspond
ents to learn what was going forward
have been met with rudeness and inso-
]ence. Meanwhile the local faction,
dlsgruntled at not gettinng the job, have
been quietly but diligently "knocking.''
There will be a lively time this winter
over the question Of admitting to state
hood the territories of New Mexico Ari-
IONA and Oklahoma. AS to the last
named there seems to be little doubt II
has too strong claim for admission to be
refused, but vigorous effort will be made
to keep out the other two. This in spite
Of the fact that President Roosevelt is
cordially In favor of their being allowed to
come in. His feelings doubtless in
spired by his sympathies with the people
of that section, with whom he was
brought into intimate contact by his
Rough Rider and ranch experiences He
likes the people and sees the question
from their point Of view. But Senator
Beverage, who is chairman of the senate
committee on territories, and who will
exercise a powerful influence in the premi-
ses. is strenuously opposed to the admis-
sion OF New Mexico and Arizona. He
shares the opinion Of Hanna, Platt, Spoon
er and such members of the senate, who
fear that such move would be menace
to the republican control Of that body

ON A BUSINESS BASIS
No Friction Between the Chamber Of
Comerce and Western
llnlan

J. McMichael. superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph company
deprecates anything in the statement Of
the relations of that company toward the
Chamber Of Commerce calculated to con-
vey the idea Of hostility or serious fric-

matters In controversy affecting the dis
tribution Of market quotations from the
chamber are practically certain of an early
and amicable settlement. The telegra phi
company Is disposed to respect the wishes
of the chamber as to where its quotations
shall be carried and that the telegra phi
company Is expecting to receive from the
chamber form Of agreement which it can
accept without hesitation. At all events
the negotiations will be conducted annie
ably and purely business matter will be
settled on a business basis entirely
Invested Of any personal feeling.

TAXES DUE TOMORROW.
iSecond Half Of the Realty Tax Is Ex.
pected with Few DeIn-
nuAnei6s

Tomorrow is the last day on which
property owners can pay the second half
of their realty taxes without mourning
10 per cent penalty for delinquency. Re-
ceipts at the office Of County Treasurer
Bell were slightly in excess Of $4,000 yes
terday; and to-day constant line Of tax
payers thronged the Office. A temporary
partition has been erected for the better
handling of the crowd.
Mr.. Bell says that receipts for the past
week have averaged from $50, 900 to $45,-
600. He adds. however. that more people
than, usual paid their entire tax at once
this year, and that there will! be COM
paratively few delinquencies. Tomorrow
will, of course, be the biggest day of the
month; as the heaviest taxpayers always
wait until the last day and then send IN
checks for the amount due. : II

A THIRTY-MINUTE STRIKE
Packers and NaiIers Of Mills Went Out
MIIwrights Are Still

The packers and nailers employed in
the Pillsbury A mill went on strike
for thirty minutes yesterday out Of SYM
pathy for the millwrights now out for
an eightlhour day. !"
Had the men walked out in body with
out parleying, they would undoubtedly
have caused heavy loss. At the same
time, when they first threatened to quit
work, there was bin containing several
thousand bushels of wheat steamed and
all ready for grinding, and had the mill
been compelled to shut down. this grain
would have been damaged. But while the
parleying was going on. the bin was
ground out and, if necessary, the mill
could have been shut down with little
trouble.
There have been few changes in the
status of the milwrights' strike since the
men went out several days ago. At pres
ent over rs per cent Of the men are at
work and many others, it is said, will go
back to their old places in day or two.

Striking Students Of the Agriculture
al College Win a Point
To-day.

Lansing, Mich, Oct. 30.-A mass meet
ing Of the striking Michigan agricultural
college students was held this morning
at which a proposition to end the strike
was presented from the faculty. 1t was
to the effect that the students resume
class work and that a new committee
of the faculty will rehear their griev-
ances and if they show that the
former action Of the faculty tn suspend
ing seventeen students for participating
in the freshmen sophomore class rush
was unjust, the sentence will be ma
terally altered and that If the Judgment
of the committee is not satisfactory to
the students they may have the right
of appealing to the state board of agri-
culture. Before vote was taken the
