Anti Paving People Are Close
eted Together.
Restraining Papers Expected To Be
Served in a Day or Two, That
May Tie Up Matters.

The parties who are opposed to paw
ing Broad street were busy today.
The attorneys who are preparing an
attempt to stop the proposed paving,
Judge Severance, h. l.. Schmitt,
Harry Paddock and j. A. Flittie, were
closeted in the latter's Office this after
noon, taking a final look over the
papers,, which are all ready to be plac-
ed in the hands of the sheriff for SER
vice on the mayor, recorder and coun-
Gil. The document is a lengthy one,
and is understood to go into the char
ter provisions quite thoroughly, par
ticularly those giving the council au-
thority to order improvements.
1t is understood that John Diamond
will sign the papers. acting on behalf
of the other property owners on the
street who are opposed to asphalt paw
ing.
The proceedings, it is surmised, will
be in the nature of a petition seeking
a restraining order to prevent the
council from awarding the paving con-
tract. The papers will probably be
served within a day or two, as bids
are to be opened Wednesday. The
points to be submitted in case the
court decides to hear arguments on a
motion for a permanent injunction
will be such as would apply were the
council to begin again, in case of an
adverse decision.
In case the present proceeding falls
through, the anti paving people will
still have another chance, when the
city attempts to cDllect the assess
ments. Attempts along that line
would be opposed.

CORRUPT TSE OF MONEY
SENSATIONAL CHARGES IN CON.
NECTiON WITH SALE OF
DANISH WEST INDIES.
$4,000 Is THE AMOUNT

Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee, the Dem.
ocratic Leader, startIes the House
by Reading Extracts From an Al.
leqed Secret Report of a Danish
officer to His Government-InVesti'
eating Committee Appointed.
Washington, March 28.-A genuine
sensation was caused in the house by
the presentation by MI. Richardson OF
Tennessee, the Democratic leader, OF
charges alleging the corrupt use of a
fund of $500, 900 in connection with the
sale of the Danish West Indies. The
charges were contained in an alleged
secret report of Captain Walter
Christmas to the Danish government,
which declared that he had employed
corrupt negotiations for bringing the
sale of the islands to a consumma-
ton. The report, extracts from which
Mr.. Richardson read, mentioned the
names of Abner Mckinley and his
partner, Colonel Brown; G. w. Knox,
who was described a IS an intimate
friend of Senator Hanna; Richard +.
Evans, who was said to represent Mr..
Gardner and his friends IN the mouse,
and two press associations, b names
of which were not given, as having
been interested in the matter.
The charges against members OF
congress were not specified. Upon the
basis of this report Mr.. Richardson
asked the adoption of a resolution for
the appointment of an investigating
committee Of seven The speaker
ruled the matter was privileged after
Mr.. Richardson had amended his res
olution so as to specifically
include Members of the House.
Great excitement attended the whole
proceeding. Mr.. Cannon OF Illinois IN
sisted that Mr.. Richardson's presenta-
ton was fragmentary and hat the
whole matter should go over in order
that members might read the docu-
ments presented, which included news
! paper extracts, affidavits, etc., in the
record. Christmas, he declared, on
his own statement, was a brlber and
worse. But the house voted down the
motion to postpone, and the resolu'
ton, after being amended in minor par
! ~ticulars was adopted. The speaker i'm
m~ediately appointed the following
committee to make the Investigation:
Messrs. Dalzell (Rep., Pa.), Hit (Rep.,
nls.), Cousins (Rep., Ia.), McCalla
! (Rep., Mass.), Richardson (Dem.,
TENN, Dinsmore (Dem., Ark.) and
Cowherd (Dem., Mo-.
The army appropriation bill was
subsequently passed without material
amendment and a rule was adopted
to make the bill to retire officers of rev
enue cutter service a continuing order
until disposed of, the order not to in
terfere with appropriation or revenue
bills or conference reports.

A CURIOSITY NOW.
Map of Minnesota Published in the
Year 1854.

o5SSONt
good of Garden City, came west from
Vermont in 1S4S and located in the
town of Iosco, Waseca county. He
possesses a map of Minnesota publish
ed in 1854, that is full of historic
value. The territory of Minnesota
then was bounded by the Missouri
river on the west, and took in the east
half of what is now North and South
Dakota and a little of Nebraska, be-
sides the present state of Minnesota.
A large county in the northwest,
comprising nearly half of the entire
territory, was called Pembina. All
that portion of the present state of
Minnesota west of Rice county and
the Minnesota river, and extending to
the Missouri river on the west and
south, was designated Blue Earth
county. The other counties in Mime
sofa were Itasca, Cass, Chisago, Ram
sey, Benton, Hennepin, Sibley, Nicol-
let, Pierce, Washington. Laseur, Scott,
Goodhue, Wabasha, Rice and Fill
more.
Nicollet county extended north to
the Grow river, a good deal north of
ST. Pauls and st. Anthony, as the twin
cities were then called.
The only wagon roads were n from
Reeds Landing on the Mississippi
west Mankato, n up the west
bank of the Mississippi to Mendoza,
one from Prescott to Saltwater and
thence on to the st. Louis river, and
one from Saltwater to st. Paul and
thence on to Fl. Ripley and Long
Prairie Indian agency.
Mankato was located on this map
west of the Blue Earth river, and the
rivers and lakes in this vicinity all
had their Indian names. Swan lake
was known as Marrah Tankah lake
and east of the city, in Laseur county,
were Ochopah and Okamap lakes. The
Blue Earth river was known as the
Mankato river, and its tributaries
were the Chankasna, Tewapadan,
Watonwan, Tewapa Tankiyan and
Chanjushkah. The Minnesota river
was known as the Minnesota or st.
Peters river.
The points along the Minnesota
river between Mankato and Fl. Smell
ing were Heel and Toe Bend (about
where st. Peter now is), Traverse DIES
Sioux, Mission, Big Legs village,
Grand Detour, Raccoon bend, Roberts
Landing, Rapids and Shockapee.
The Yellow Medicine river was
known as the Pejuta Zizi river, and
the Redwood was called the
Tchanshayapi.
The map contains such designation
as Punished Woman lake, Bears Der
Hillock, Bone Hill river, The Light
ning's Nest, Free Peoples lake. Wish

cusses Capture of AguinaIdo.
Washington, March 2S.-In the SEN
ate Mr.. Harris of Kansas and Mr.
Quarles of Wisconsin spoke at length
on the oleomargarine bill. Mr.. Harris
supported the measure, but urged that
an amendment which he proposed
placing a tax of 10 cents a pound on
adulterated butter and regulating the
manufacture and sale af renovated but
ter ought to be adopted.
Mr.. Quarles vigorously denounced
the oleomargarine industry, as at pres
ent conducted, as a fraud and insisted
that in the interest not only OF the
5000. 900 dairymen, but also in the IN
terest of the whole American people,
the pending bill ought to be enacted
into law.
Taking advantage of the latitude OF
debate afforded by the senate rules
Mr.. Patterson of Colorado sharply crit.

Funston captured Aguinaldo, and

STATE DEPARTMENTS REPLY,
Paid No Commissions on Sale of the
Danish West Indies.

Washington, March 2S.-It is said
that the answer of the state depart
ment to the Richardson resolution dl-
recting an investigation into the charg-
es made in connection with b Dan
ish West indian treaty will disclose
the fact that, according to the record,
the United States government has re-
fused to have to do with any persons
as a party to the treaty who were not
directly connected with the Danish
government. The department also
placed on record its determination to
pay no commission to any person on
account of the cession of the islands.
It will be pointed out that our govern
ment had no right to dictate to the
Danish government as to what 1t
should do in the matter of paying com
missions,

According to the most trustworthy in
formation from Washington the outlook
for the Cuban reciprocity treaty is not
favorable. The fact appears to be that
the opposition to granting a tariff con-
cession to Cuban sugar and tobacco is
quite as strong now as at the last ses-
sion Of congress. So far as now seen
there is no reason to believe that the
hostility to the proposition to admit
Cuban products to the American mar
ket at a reduced tariff rate is less pro-
nounced than at the last session, when
1t was strong enough to prevent the
passage by the senate of the bill pro-
vlding for a reduction to % per cent of
the tariff Oh the products of the island
Of Cuba.
1t Is definitely announced by the beet
sugar Interest of the United States that
it proposes to continue it's opposition to
the proposed tariff concession on Cuban
sugar, and there is no question that it
has a stronger position now than 1t had
a year ago, for the reason that Cuba
10 NCAJ hIuSh DcIOcI On ludu Wleu IllS
question was first presented for consid-
Grafton. As a matter of fact Cuba does
not now need any help industrially or
commercially, the truth being that the
new republic is getting along very
nicely and with every prospect favor
able to its continued progress and ad-
vancement.
The question of closer trade relations
with Cuba. therefore. is not so much
as to the benefits that might result to
that country as 1t is to the advantages
that would accrue to our own trade
with the neighbor republic. We are now
having a very considerable and profit
able commerce with Cuba. The Ques-
ton is whether we shall increase it, and
the answer is to be found in the pend
ing treaty.

HELPING THE PHILIPPINES.

PROFESSIONALLY the proposed reduction
Of tariff duties on Philippine products
coming into the United States would be
very helpful to the archipelago. 1t would
insure a greatly Increased trade with
this country In what the island pro-
duces and thus serve to stimulate and
improve Industrial conditions there. The
value OF this in the good effect it would
have upon the Filipino people cannot
easily be ov~erestimated. Nothing con-
tributes more TO the creation of mutual
confidence than close commercial rela-
tons and the Filipino people, when they
shall realize that the trade OF their eoun-
try is growing and that this is due TO
the favor Of the United States, will as
suredly think better OF Americans and
OF American government.
There are some who advocate free
trade with the Philippines. but this is
clearly not practicable at present for the
reason that the Philippine government
needs the revenue. all duties collected in
our custom houses on Philippine prod.
ucts being paid into the Philippine treas
ury. The San Francisco Chronicle ia
yors free trade with the islands because
while we govern the Filipinos it is our

TIE OnAST nnEnnSra

During the last fifteen years over
$5O,000,000 has been spent In carrying
out the plan Of coast defenses devised by
a board Of s~trateglsts Of the army and
navy. That plan has been strictly fol-
lowed and with good results, but it ap-
pears that in the Judgment of officers
Of the army and navy 1t is time to re-
wise the plan and provision is to be made
in the f~ortiications appropriation bill fol
the appointment Of a commission to
modernize the present scheme for the
coast defense of the country. The ne.
cessity for this grows out Of the condi.
ton Of our insular possessions. Terri.
torial expansion and the establishing OF
numerous coaling stations, which OF
course must have defenses, has created
new requirements.
These must have proper consideration
but not at any sacrifice of the defenses
on u home seacoasts. While these
have been very much improved, there
are still points on the Atlantic coast thai
need attention and these should not bt
neglected In order to provide stations IL
the Philippines or elsewhere. OF course
these must be cared for, but at the same
time the the coast defenses OF the United
States must continue to be looked after
and improved and strengthened wher
ever required. This is not less essen
tiai to u security than is an adequat,
navy, which the country now realize,
we must have and maintain. A thorough
system Of coast defenses together will
an adequate navy constitute the bes
guaranty Of peace.
