THOSE WAR VESSELS
PADUCAH MIGHT GET THEM,
BUT THERE is NO EFFORT
TO DO so.

Il is improbable that any steps will
be taken to have the war vessels Ar
kansas and Isle de Luzon, which will
be at Cairo in April, come as far as
Paducah. IL is not impossible that
Paducah, through her influence, could
secure the vessels, as she would have
had tine Nashville few years ago had
the boat been able to get under the
Cairo bridge.
It Is understood that the two vessels
that will be at Cairo can lower their
masts, and these would therefore be
no bar to their coming, but one Of the
principal reasons no effort will be
made is that the necessary amount
could probably not be secured to en-
terrain the officers. -.
Cairo appropriated $1,000 to enter
tain the Nashville officers, but it
would be entirely out of the question
to think of raising that much here.
The rivers and harbors committee Of
congress will be here soon, and it will
take quite a sum to entertain them.
There is still talk of making an
effort to secure the war vessels, how
ever, and a great many merchants and
others realize that it would be big
attraction and bring many people here.

ENGLISH CABINET BROKEN.
Three Members Resign Their PO-
sitions and King Edward Accepts
Their designations.

London, Sept. 19.-The break in the
British cabinet came last night by
the resignation Of Joseph Chamber
lain as secretary for the colonies, c.
T. Richie, as chancellor of the ex-
chequer, and Lord George Hamilton,
as secretary of state for India. The
king has accepted the designations.
Mr.. Chamberlain resigns on the
ground that Premier Balfour's atti-
tude on the fiscal question is not sufi-
GENTLY advanced to enable him to re-
main member of the government
without the sacrifice of his own views.
Chancellor Richie and Lord George
Hamilton leave the cabinet because
they are wholly out of sympathy with
the fiscal policy of Balfour and Cham
berlain.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Assessment and Taxation.

The steady increase in the market
value of diamonds and live stock mas
had a peculiar. effect on the people OF
Minnesota, if the returns made to the
state board of equalization are TO De
taken as basis of fact.
While in one year the market Pr1ce
of diamonds has increased about so per
cent, the total value of diamonds ll'a
owned in Ramsey county, as shown Dy
the tax returns, is about SO per cent OF
last years total.
The return made for diamonds IN
Ramsey county last year was Sl45, SOU.
This year the returns total $40, 5l5.
The same ratio Of shrinkage obtains
throughout the state generally and IN
some instances the assessors have gone
the limit Pope, Roseau, Sherburne
and Swift counties, according to the
verracious assessors and county boards,
furnish shelter to no diamonds or jew
elry and the total amount found IN
Grant county is an even SIS worth
The total diamond and jewelry as
sessment for the state is $239,173, as
compared with s34s,s 81 last year.
The Hennepin return for gold ana
silver plate would indicate that the
pawnshop man had reaped a harvest
and shipped his crop to the eHete east.
The assessors and county board found
only SOS, $50 in gold and silver plate IN
Hennipen county this year. Last year
they found S12O, CSC.
What is true Of jewelry and plate
seems to be true Of cattle and stock.
The members of the board Of equal1za-
ton are scarcely prepared to belive
hat there is an actual shrinkage Ia
the number of horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs owned in Minnesota. Yet
the tax returns show an average
shrinkage Of approximately so per cent
in these items
In 1900 there were, according to the
returns, 594.0O6 sheep in Minnesota.
This year Che assessors admit finding
324, O72. II ~s
= In the same year there were dis
closed 1,44s,651 hogs This year the
total is 500, 600 shrinkage Of about
], 900, 600 hogs which is probably APP
proximately the number escaping as
sessment and taxation
The same relative shrinkages are
shown in the lists of horses, cattle.
watches and clocks
The watch and clock list furnishes a
case in point. The returns show that
there are only 1s4,s24 watches and
clocks owned in Minnesota and the
average price is approximately 81.
According to these returns at least
one-half the families of Minnesota are
without either watches or clocks.

TRADE REVIEW.
Leading Commercial Agency Says En-
couraging Conditions Arc Apparent
in Many Lines.

New York, Sept. 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: Business
has made moderate progress during the
past week despite unusual opposition
from the elements. When all other in.
dustries are to consid erable degree de-
pendent upon agricultural conditions, re
ports OF serious injury to crops by cold
and wet weather are not calculated to
stimulate confidence. Subsequent cor
rections indicated that the amount of
damage had been exaggerated as usual
and prospects frightened. The car
shortage is beginning to be felt, espe-
cially in the Pittsburg district, where
sufficient labor cannot be secured for
handling freight. Manufacturing plants
are well occupied as a rule, even the tex
tile mills reporting less idle machinery.
and at Chicago there is notable pressure
for implements and hardware. Lumber
is In better demand as structural activity
revives. Payments are seasonably
prompt except where late crops delay
settlements, and the outlook for fall and
winter business contains much that Is
encouraging. Railway earnings thus far
reported for September show an average
gain Of 1896 over last year.
Failures this week were 219 in the
United States, against 1919 last year, and
- in, Canada, compared with Is year
ago.
Bradstreet's says: Conditions still
display irregularity, but except where
crop and weather developments have
been distinctively unfavorable the ten
dency is still to take a favorable view of
the general outlook for fall and winter
trade. Heavy rains and killing frosts
northwest and in portions of the west
with drought followed by unseasonably
cool weather and destructive wind and
rain storms along the Atlantic coast have
tended to retard expansion in fall trade
in wide sections of the country. All Sec
lions, however. have not been affected
alike, the northwest returning relatively
the poorest reports as to current dis
tributive trade, while the southwest and
Pacific coast and some sections of the
south give excellent reports of business
already booked or in prospect. The out
look for average crops is still a good one.
Nothing in the nature of actual short
ages, such as occurred in 1901, is indi-
Gated and while trade opinion probably
inclines to the view that the boom is over
in several industries, noneth less the be-
lief is maintained that good average
fall and winter trade is in prospect"
