LITTLE AID
FOR CUBANS
Twenty Per Cent

SURPLUS STOCKS
NOW BEING SOLD
c. NJ. Cooke Returns From a
Trip East-SpecuIaticn and
Hawaiian Securities,

| Among the passengers returning from
the mainland in the Alameda was Mr..
C. NJ. Cooke of the Bank of Hawaii.
who has spent the past month in the
States on business. Mr.. Cooke was in
New York during the visit of Prince
Henry, and encountered some very bad
weather on his trip. Speaking of the
general trend of affairs which affect
Hawaii. yesterday, Mr.. Cooke said:
81 gathered the impression that the
outlook was quite poor for any great
reduction in the sugar duties for Cuba.
The state of the market in New York is
said to be largely due to the selling of
| the surplus stocks of Cuban sugar.
which would indicate that the people
who are holding the stocks are not too
hopeful of the results. 1t is gossip in
the East that the Cuban sugar now in
stock is held by American spectators.
and these fact are being brought out in
the hearings before the committees in
Congress. 1t is believed that the great
est reduction which can be given viii
be % per cent, and the majority of the
men who have opinions on the subject
are of the opinion that it will not ex-
coed 20 per cent.
ION the coast there is a feeling that
Hawaiian securities are uncertain. This
in my view is due to the speculation
In them and not in any way to the es-
tates. II was the spectators who ad-
vanced the capitalization and made it
possible for the speculation which has
characterized the San Francisco mar
ket, and now the harvest is being reap
ed. There is confidence felt by those
who are familiar with the Islands and
the business which is being done here,
and there will be little more trouble in
my opinion.
Everywhere there is the feeling that
the Brussels conference will have a
good effect upon the sugar market, in
fact, the adjustment of the bounties
will cut down the acreage and the sur
plus stocks which will have the effect
OF increasing the price.
81 was in New York only Part of the
week, and 1 went on to New Haven to
visit my two sons there. 1 found them
well, and they visited me in New York
before my departure. The visit of
Prince Henry was made in bad wealth
er. The parade up Broadway had to
be abandoned on account of the rain,
but the functions were magnificent. AT
the business mems dinner the rooms
were decorated most deliberately. One
OF the committee told me that the dec
orators had the use OF Mr.. Pierpont
Morgans tapestries, and that the VAL
ues of them ran up into the millions.
One piece which was placed just behind
the chair in which the Prince sat was
worth s270,000. Altogether the recep- |
ton was most magnificent affair. My
trip was entirely on business and for
personal reasons, and 1 do not know
anything about politics.

meeting Not Held Yesterday and q
fostponement Made.

The meeting of the Wireless Tele-
graph Company. which was to have
been held yesterday afternoon in the
assembly room over Castle 6, Cookies,
was postponed owing to lack of quo
rum. The want of attendance was due
to yesterday being a steamer day, and
those upon whom the company depends
to give il financial aid were unable to
be present. The meeting will be held
next Friday at $3.50 p. m, when Treas
urer Hutchins' report in detail will be
presented to the representatives of
firms interested in seeing the company
Ieorganized. 1t is believed that the re-
organization will be effected in a short
time, so that the system can be re-
opened.

SENATOR MoRGAN RIGHT.

Whatever else may be said regarding
the attitude occupied in its more recent
developments by Senator Morgan, of Al
ALBANIA, on the subject of a transisth-
mian canal, the position taken by him
on the measure investing the president
with power to select the route of the
canal is absolutely right and sound. The
Alabama statesman declares that to give
the president the power to determine the
route which the canal shall take is not
wise nor safe as rule of government.
1t is not only not wise or
safe, but is plainly unconstitutional.
1t is delegation of legislative
powers to the executive It is the
duty of congress on the best advfc
at its disposal to determine upon the
route of the proposed canal if the canal
is determined upon. To refer the whole
matter to the president at this time is of
itself an absurdity. Millions of money
have been expended to determine the
question most advantageously to the
country. Expert opinion has been in
voked in that regard. The Walker com
mission is still in existence. Its work
has been a source of great expense to the
government. That work remains still
undone.
The Walker commission possesses the
confidence of the country. Its most re
cent declaration, conditionaIIy favorable
to the Panama route is still before CON
gress and the country To shift the bur
den of approval or disapproval upon the
shoulders of the president is unjust both
to the president and the country.
The owners of the Panama route have
offered to place the property at the dis
posal of this government for the sum of
$4o,OOo.OOG. The Walker commission has in
dicated its conviction that the selection
of the Panama route would be more ad-
visable than that of the Nicaragua. xoute
in case the transfer of the former is made
at the figures named. The cost, it is de-
clared, would ultimately be less after the
payment of SAC, 1000, 600 for the completion
of The Panama canal than would the cost
of the construction of the Nicaragua
canal.

''Tootsie" Bosmo, eight years old, was
yesterday arrested and locked up in the

petty larceny. "footsie' readily ad-

for several lays. Twine of all kinds ap-
peared to be what the boys most desired,
and when 'Tootsie" was locked up yes
terday afternoon he had a large bundle
with him.
'Tootsie'' manifested no concern what
ever when brought into the station He
hopped out of the patrol wagon like an
old 'gun" who had been there many
times before. Even the array of blue
coats waiting for the $50 detail did not
impress him. and he answered all uues-
tions without a tremer.
After he had been questioned he
marched up to his cell with the utmost
unconcern, talking freely of what he had
done. In the cell he made himself at
home at once, and took everything that
happened as a matter of course He said
that he lived Vs. his parents on Robert
street near Summit
For several days past Mr.. Kerwin has
been missing articles from his estab
l1shment, and yesterday he received fha
description of some of the boys who ran

DR. oHAeE,s AccEPraNcr.


The decision reached by DR.. Ohage to
retain his position as health commits
.sioner is one which will be welcomed by
every class of st. Paul society. There
was really not other position for the
doctor to occupy unless he desired to be
understood as treating the wishes and
preferences of the people, whom he had
so faithfully served, with contempt.
The withdrawal of the resignation of
DR.. Ohage assures to the people the full
est developments of the great public
project which he inaugurated. The
C 10 sincerely hopes that he will win
in his proposed contest for the control OF
the property in dispute; but, in any event
it is assured that the best interests of
the people viii be guarded, and that the
great enterprise which DR.. Ohage founded
viii! be carried to completion.
We have not been disposed to treat the
establishment of our public baths and
Fairgrounds with that consideration
which should be bestowed on them. The
gentlemen of the Chamber of Commerce
Who recently displayed an unfriendlv dis
position toward the undertaking as well
as toward its founder, do not express the
sentiment of the intelligent people of ST.
Paul There is nothing whatever in the
undertaking of Dr. Ohage or in his con-
tentions on behalf of that undertaking
which could be regarded as at war with
the material interests OF the community.
On the contrary, the existence of the
baths viii he far more promotive of the
business welfare of the community than
the existence Of a half dozen of the en-
terDrises Of the character and proportions
OF some of those which have threatened
to leave the community unless they were
to be further coddIed by the public favor.
There is surely a way out of the present
difficulty which will secure the rights of
the railroads, the factories and the baths.
DR.. Ohage has no personal interest in
volved. To that extent he is a far better
judge Of what the public interest demands
than those whose voices resound the loud
est according to the pecuniary interest
which they have, or think they have. in
the result.

EMPORIUM WILL MAKE
BIG IMPROVEMENTS
New Annex and More Complete
Furnishings in building.

The Emporium, on Seventh street a
department store conducted by Kennedy,
Mcleod & Macarthur, is to have a $40,
w annex Inc contract has baen placed
with Newman & Hoy, and the structure
is to be ready for occupancy by sept l.
The annex, which will form an arcade
having connection with the main store
on Seventh street, will have its entrance
on Minnesota street, and in addition to
a basement of considerable dspth will
be two stories in height. The south side
OF the building will front on an alley,
and this, together with the front on
minnesota, will have a large area of plate
grass IN oroer to display goods and furn-
lsn lots of light. The ground to BE taken
IS now covered with several one-story
frame and brick structures
The new annex will furnish the FmDor-
lum W1th 2500O feet of additional floor
space, and exclusive of furnishings. will
cost the promoters $4,000. Repairs to be
made to the main building and the elab-
crate furnishings to be installed in the
new, will, it is understood, add another
$4,000 to the cost.
The annex is being erected by Capt
Mark L. Potter, of New York, former
resident Of ST.. Paul. It was only after
he had paid the city a visit and wit
messed the strides both st. Paul and the
Emporium was making, that he decided
to order lie construction of the new
building.
LIIe Emporium was opened only last
March, and the fact that an annex is
necessary at this early date to take care
of the firms growing business l. looked
upon as something out of the ordinary.

TIE 1NEKIrABLE RESUrr.

The recent treasury statement on the
subject of flour exports is one which
should give the utmost concern to the
shows falling off of 50 per cent in the
exports of flour for the four first months
of this year from those of the correspond
ing period of 1901.
The total shipments for export from
Minneapolis during the first eighteen
weeks of this year are stated in the
cent of the shipments for the correspond
ing period of 1901.
The receipts of flour and of grain at
the Atlantic seaboard tend to emphasize
these conditions. According to the treas
ury report New York received during the
month of April $685. ,525 bushels of grain,
| including flour reduced to bushels, com
pared with 9,665,919 bushels in April, 1901.
Many forces have been operating to
produce these undesirable results. The
attitude taken by the British government
on the taxation of flour, and the con-
tinuance of the unfavorable dock regu-
Iations aimed at American flour imports
are producing their inevitable effect. The
prospect seems clearly to be the lessen
ing rather than the increase of this
branch of American export trade.
The government in England has, for
! instance, recently decided to raise some
$12, 900, coo by it's new plan of flour and
grain duties. That it will include this in
tie government budget unless the South
African war should be brought to an inn
mediate close is almost certain. In ad-
dition to this Mr.. Chamberlain has,
through his Customs Union scheme, fair
| ly indicated the determination of the
government to establish a system of
colonial protection, whIol, no doubt, will
be directed with special force at the i'm
portations of foreign grain into Eng
land, witk view to the promotion of
colonial imports.
Thus we have already within view the
first expression of the inevitable effect
of our policy of trade exclusion, on which
the administration CT Theodore Roosevelt
has entered, despite the plain demands
of American national sentiment and of
the declaration of his predecessor, that
the nat.-nal policy of the future would
be in the direction of reciprocal trade
arrangements with eoreign peoples
Not until the American people have
the truth brought home to them in some
such way as this will it be made plain to
them that the policy of promoting Ameri-
can foreign trade through subsidies, while
refusing to lower the custom house bars
one inch. is not only absurd in itself, but
is certain to be followed by decisive re-
suits injurious to our own internal trade
The indications offered by the flour and
grain export trade of the country is
merely the forerunner of what is bound
to come ultimately to the foreign trade
of the country through our present policy
of commercial exclusion.

Not only have the big packers failed in
every attempt to smuggle meat out of
the yards, but the wholesale and retail

wagons into the yards and take out loads
OF provisions, have been forbidden to do
SO IN the future. A number of them were

AS result there is movement on

to defeat the packers in their fight
against the teamsters. Most Of them de-

of beef would be the most effective Wav
to help the teamsters.
