Austin Man for Bank Exam

~ Horn-Locking.

From. The Journal Bureau, Room z5, Pod
Building, Washiaagtos..
Washington, Jan. 2S.-Senators Nelson
and Clapp to-day agreed on Lyman j.
Baird, president of the First National
bank of Austin, Mimi, for national bank
examiner for Minnesota and the western
district Of Wisconsin. It is a good, pay
ing office. Senator Clapp offered it to
Fred G.. Ingersoll of st. Paul, hoping
thereby to remove Ingersoll from the race
for district attorney, but after coming to-
Washington and looking the field over,
Ingersoll declined and announced that he
was in the district attorney fight to stay.
This announcement will stull further
complicate the attorneyship fight, for
Clapp wants to appoint his old friend c.
c. Haupt of Fergus Falls. Should Nelson
refuse to approve Haupt, it is possible
there may be lively tussle between the
senator's, for it is said by Clapp's friends
that Nelson purposes to hold on to the
ether three big federal jobs in the state
marshal, collector Of internal revenue
and collector Of customs-and that Clapp
will be compelled to make fight for at
least one place. Thus far, it is said, he
has not joined with Nelson in asking for
the reappointment of John Peterson as
collector of customs. There were five
other st. Paul candidates for bank ex-
aminer but all were turned down by Clapp
in favor Of Ingersoll.
The sending OF this Office to southern
Minnesota will have the effect Of quieting
that section SO far as federal positions
! are concerned and concentrating the dis
! trict attorneyship fight in the twin cities
and northern part of the state.

The retirement of the department of Ia
Dor and the amendment of the. bills title
in recognition of that ret tention is a
splendid compliment to organized labor
and will undoubtedly result in labor s
taking a lively interest in the appoint

He Is now commissioner of labor. in

Holland Asks Formulation to Help
End South African War.
London, Jan. 2S.-The government of Hol-
land has offered in the most friendly terms
to help in bringing about peace in South Afri
ca. In communication to the British gov
ernment the Dutch government suggests that
it might be permitted to act as sort of Dip
lomatic agent for the Boer delegates. The
government, however, disavows any attempt
at Intervention and does not mention terms.
The British government infers that 1t would
not have been approached unless the Dutch
authorities were convinced that the Boer del
egates in Europe were willing to accept
the cardinal points Of the British peace
terms, so frequently announced in parlia-
ment.
Lord Lansdowne, foreign secretary, replied
in friendly terms to the Netherlands pro-
posal, but instituted inquiries in order to
ascertain the extent of the powers: delegated
to Mr. Kruger and the other Boer representa-
tives in Europe to act in behalf Of the bur-
ghers in the field. Great doubt is expressed
at the foreign Office here as to whether nego-
tiations carried on by the Boer delegates
through the Dutch government OF other chan
nels VIII prove stfsctual.

Big Railroad Interests of the

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Jan. 2S.-Testimony before
the interstate commission appeared to in
dicate that the Union Pacific had disposed
of some of it's holdings of Northern Sc
curities stock. acquired in the Northern
Pacific purchase. This inference was
drawn from the statement made by Harri-
man that the company had $50, ,000, 900 to
100000 Securities stock In it's treasury.
Its holdings of Northern Pacific would
have entitled it to $50, 900, 900 of Securi-
ties stock. Consequently it was supposed
that some had been Sold. On inquiry in
Union Pacific circles, however, it was as
certained that nothing of the kind has
taken place The company still holds Its
Securities stock.
Cuts Both Ways.
A curious feature Of the Securities liti-
cation is that that it seems to ft Wall
street both ways Spectators take the
ground that any outcome in the applica-
tion before the supreme court would be q
bullish factor, arguing that il the right of
jurisdiction is granted, railroad COM
panies would get more Justice in the

state courts would be Influenced in their

Differences to BE Buried.
. There is good authority for saying that
the Hill Morgan and Hartmann Gould
Vanderbilt interests have decided to bury
their differences and that as a conse-
quence a material improvement will soon
be apparent in the western railway situa-
tion. Prejudice and jealousies, it is ex-
planned, have simply given way to busi-
ness sense and necessity. Although 1t
may be policy to disguise this fact for a
time, pending litigation and other
troubles unity Of sentiment will prevail.
Interests lately in collision have meas
urably settled their disputes. The Union
Pacific andy Northern Pacific disagree
ments have been already greatly modified.
AS before Indicated, everything hangs
on the decision of the supreme court as
regards the future of giant combinations
and the carrying out of plans long ago
matured. The railroad interests now con-
slider that the court will decide favorably
to the Securities company as the ques-
tions asked yesterday showed the trend OF
the courts mind. The expectation is
that before adjournment February 8, the
court will hand down it's decision, and
the Securities company will be free from
litigation. Then the big fellows will pro-

CUBAN RELIEF
This Has Become the Settled
Policy of the Admin
s......> istration. -
Row York sa,, sosoxal s,rxsos


Washington, Jan. 2s.-Relief Tor Cuba
has become the settled policy of the ad-
ministration. President Roosevelt and his
cabinet have become convinced that re-
duction Of rs or even so per cent in the
tariff on Cuban sugar would not affect
the beet sugar industry of the United
States at all. They believe that even If
some little effect should be produced on
an American industry the situation is so
grave in Cuba and the duty of the United
States Is so manifest that the tariff
should be reduced in spite OF possible
loss to the American sugar growers.
President Roosevelt has consulted with
most of the leading senators, and, in
stead of feeling disposed to yield to the
opportunities and threats of Mr. Oxnard,
the administration is more than ever
convinced Of the "plain duty Of the
American people. The senator's and 9th
ers who have consulted with the president
have taken firm ground in this regard.

Support Is Promised.

Carl L. Wallace, representative from the
forty-third district. is an active, advocate,
of this program. He said this morning:
my idea is that to get an effective and
up-t date tax law, we must pass those
constitutional amendments. 1t is true
that since the amendment passed requir-
ing majority Of all the votes cast at
general elect ion for the passage OF con-
stitutional amendment, there has not been
single amendment passed 1t is also
true that the last legislature passed bill
recurring amendments hereafter to be
printed at the head of the ballot. This
will mean many thousand votes, and will
result in the passage of amendments here
after. if they commend themselves to the
people. -
"The passage Of those amendments
would give US chance to adopt the grad
uated income tax, to exempt any or all
personal property, or to adopt any kind
Of tax bill that seems advisable next
winter. Taxation would be the issue in
the campaign this year, and we would
get legislature pledged to tax reform.
People would get over their scare, and
know what they want Meanwhile we
would have the new law on our statute
books. 1t would not upset things this
year, but in order to get the drastic fea-
lures that now exist amended, everybody
would get out and hustle for the consti-
tutional amendments, and they would be
passed. @
'If the legislature wants to pass the
tax bill to take effect this year, l will
stand for it, though I think some Of its
features too drastic. I fear it's effect on
the banks. II we pass it, we must have
the bill which General Hahn Is drafting
at my request, which prevents bond issues
in excess Of per cent of the 1900 valua-
tion. This will do away entirely with the
argument that the increased valuation
means extravagance. Tax reform Is moi
for raising more revenue. It Is for equal
izing the burdens.
Worthy of Consideration.

FOR CLAPP al:

CAUSE OF THE oLEo sQUABBLE
McCleary Feared That Tawney
would Rake I'm Too Much
Prestige.

From, The Journal Bspreuu, Room <6, Post
washington, Jan. Alt is curious
fact that every member OF the Minnesota
house delegation with whom have talked
believes there will be an open fight when
Senator Clapps term expires and that
Clapp will have great difficulty In sue
ceeding himself, 1t he is not indeed over-
whelmingly defeated.
This feeling is So deep-seated that it
seems to some extent to control the ac-
tions of certain members Of the delegation
who have an eye on the legislature of 1905
and are overlooking no opportunities for
making political capital at home.
1t Is charged. for. instance, that the
senatorial matter had much to do with
inducing Representative McCleary to get
into the oleo fight against Tawney. Nc
Cleary, remembering that Tawney was a
candidate for the senate last winter and
fearing that he might get too much pres
tige IL he were permitted to claim credit
for 'oleo legislation, came in with a bill
OF his own. This is the explanation Of
fered for McCIeary's attitude by men here
who profess to understand Minnesota
politics. &##s
Heatwole also IS credited with having
senatorial aspirations. Unless there
should be change in the situation, it is
quite likely that Tawney, McCleary and
Heatwole will be in the field openly
against ,Clapp when the time comes. The
