RAPID TRANSIT
Twin City Dividend Is De-

Special to The Journal

Special to The Journal.
New York, March S.s-The Twin City
Rapid Transit company has declared the
regular quart erly dividend Of ~ per
cent on preferred stock, payable April /.
The rise in Rock Island and Des Moines
& Fort Dodge was attributed on stock
exchange to-day to an expectation that
the relations of the two companies will
be placed on more satisfactory basis.
At the same time, a report was current
that the Des Moines road may fall into
the hands of the Illinois Central and the
buying Of it's shares shows competition.
st. Paul was strong and in active de-
mand in anticipation of a favorable show
ing Of earnings and surplus at the meet
ing of directors next Thursday. It is ex-
pected that action on the semiannual
dividend will be taken at that time, but
there is no reason to believe there will
be an increase in the rate.
The advance in the price of Great
Northern preferred was on limited trad
ing, following the publication of J. j.
Hills declaration that he had no doubt of
the ultimate establishment of the legal
status Of the Northern Securities COM
pany.

READY TO HELP,

Senator Nelson md Mr.. Stevens Will
Back the State.
From The Journal BWrsuu. Room 10, Post
Building, Warrington. E
Washington, March S.-Neither Repre-
sentative Stevens nor Senator Nelson has
heard from Attorney General Douglas
about a bill to be introduced in congress
that will permit the state to file suit
against the Northern Securities. In the
absence of knowledge Of just what is
necessary, neither could say to-day what
would be done. Each, however, expressed
himself as willing to do what he couldsto
help the state It is probable, therefore,
that a bill will be introduced and pushed
in congress.

"INSURGENT' ROLL
Mr.. Tawney's Roll of Opponents OF
" Payne Committee.

Nesc York Sun Special Se7.vtos
Washington, March 8.-Mr. Tawney,
leader of the opponents of reciprocity
with Cuba, says that 112 members are
pledged against the ways and means
proposition. Mr.. Tawney claims all the
members from the beet sugar states Of
California, Michigan and Nebraska; all
but one each from Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Iowa: two members from Illinois,
two from Missouri, half the delegations
from Ohio and Indiana, seventeen from
Pennsylvania, fourteen from New York
and nine from New England.
These republicans have not tried to
agree upon anything beyond resistance to
the ways and means proposition for a
cut OF 20 per cent in the tariff against
Cuban products. Their cry is mo break
in the tariff wall" They believe they
have enough votes to adopt resolution
Tuesday night to Indefinitely adjourn the
republican conference.
The poll of the beet sugar men is not
accepted as reliable by the supporters Of
the administration, who predict that the
opposition will go to pieces when it tries
to outline plan of action beyond resis-
lance to the ways and means committee.

The efforts Of the ways and means COM

Cuban reciprocity are expected to result

Endorsed providing for the appointment OF
committee of congress to go to Cuba
and investigate conditions there.
This will be complete victory for the
beet sugar people as it will result in
side-tracking the efforts to reduce the
duty on Cuban sugar for a year at least
and they think for all time. They base
this conclusion Oh the belief that the
committee will not submit a report or
that if one is submitted it will be adj
