confirming reports current that negoti-
atoms are on for the transfer Of con-
troll of the property to a larger system,
Vice President Oppenheim said to-
day:
"All I can say about this matter IS
that the negotiations are progressing
satisfactorily
The deal is understood to be the same
that was on early in 1891, when the ST..

on the Great Western property at prices
OF par for the preferred A stock, rs for

the intention being to divide the Great
Western with the Chicago & North
Western, giving the latter the Kansas
City branch. When it seemed probable
the option would be exercised the bad
blood between the Hill and the Harrt-
man interests developed.

DEMOCRATS TAX
PLATFORM
Representative Introduces
Bills for Taxation of For
eign Corporations and In
comes and Improved Meth
cd of Determining Value
OfCapital Stock for Assess
ment.

representative John Dorsey, Glen
coe, yesterday introduced in the house
two bills covering the subject of taxa
ton, which embody, with slight addi-
lions, the tax programme of the DEM
ocrats submitted to the extra session.
and which was originally outlined by
Gov. Lind.
The bills provide for the taxation of
foreign corporations, a constitutional
amendment for an income tax and a
method of assessing companies incor-
porated or otherwise. The bills were
sent to the committee on taxes and
tax laws, and will probably be the
bones of stiff contentious in the COM
mittee. Being of Democratic origin,
their fate is hardly problematical.
The first bill, which provides
method for the assessment of compa-
MES is similar to the present law. The
new features are the addition Of the
amounts of outstanding bonds, bonded
debt bearing interest and the amount
and value of funded or bonded debt
severally to the present list, which
calls for the amount of stock author
lied; the paid-up stock and the mar
ket value of the stock from the total
of which, value of the real and per-
sonal property is deducted to estab-
fish the assessment value of the stock.
Franchise and Income Taxes.
The additions are primarily for the
purpose of furnishing a check against
Watered stock and a consequent eva
sion of taxation. The value of the
stocks determined by the prescribed
method, they are to be assessed in the
manner provided for the assessment
of property of private persons. Month
ly installments paid into building as
sociations, and subject to the with
drawal clause, are to be considered as
debts and deducted, as provided by the
present law.
The proposed amendment to section
8, article TX, of the constitution, pro-
vides for the taxation of charters,
special privileges and franchises
granted by the state of Minnesota, or
any political subdivision, and a tax on
the gross or net income Of persons
above an exemption. to be fixed by the
legislature. 1t is also provided that
the legislature may exempt one or
more classes for the purpose of pre-
serving equality of taxation.

sition to his request was made and the
bill stands to meet a bunch of trouble
when the committee next sits sn 1t.

SUES MAGAZINE
FOR LIBELINC HIM
County Attorney Boardman,
Of Hennepin, Brings Ac-
ton Against McCIure's.

County Attorney Boardman, of Hen
nepin county, has brought an action
against the publishers Of McClure's
Magazine for $4,000 damages sustain
ed by the publication of an article in
the January number of their magazine
which reflected upon the qualifications
of Mr.. Boardman in the conduct of his
office.
The papers were served last night on
Fred c. Little, Northwestern represent
attVe of McClure'S, by United States
Marshal w. E. Grimshaw, and the case
will come up for hearing at the March
term of the United States court in
Minneapolis.
Ever since the publication of the ar
ticle referred to Mr.. Boardman has
had the matter under Amusement, and
papers were not served sooner because
1t would have been necessary for him
to have gone to New York to make
such service, and the case would nee
essarily have to be tried at that point
consequently he has bided his time for
q representative of the magazine to put
in his appearance in this city, and now
he will be able to fight the case on his
own ground. Mr.. Boardman feels con-
hdent that he has good grounds for
action, and believes that he will win
out in the suit.
The article referred to is one that
was written by representative of the
magazine, giving a history of the mu-
nic1pal corruption that has made Min
neapolis a much advertised city for the
manner in which it's officials conducted
systematic game Of graft, until they
were brought up with a sudden jerk
through the efforts of the famous
April grand jury and the co-opera-
ton Of two of the principle big mitt'
men Billy Edwards and Charlie"
Howard, who were arrested on the
charge Of swindling when they were
supposed to be operating in the city
under police protection.
The article states that Mr.. Board
man, county attorney, and Hovey c.
Clark, foreman of the grand jury, had
some words in the grand jury room, at
which time Mr.. Clarke told Mr.. Board
man that they did not wish his assist
ance because they doubted his integ-
rity, and they wanted a man on whom
they could rely

HEWITT EULOCTZED
BY LEADING MEN
Ex-President Cleveland and President
Roosevelt Pay Tributes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The late
Abram S. Hewitt was euIogized by
former President Grover Cleveland to-
hight at a memorial meeting held at
the City club Addresses also were
made by Edward NJ. Shepard and City
Chamberlain E. R. L. Gould, and Rich
ard Watson Glider read a poem, THE
Great Citizen" which he wrote for Mr.
Hewitts funeral. Wheeler w. Peck
ham presided
The following letter from President
Roosevelt was. read:
MY Dear Mr.. Peckham: I wish
there was some way in which I could
express my profound sense of personal
bereavement in the death Of Abram S.
Hewitt, and above all my feelings as
citizen Of what we all owe him. His
presence has been, in the literal sense
of the word, an inspiration to the de-
cent performance OF duty by all who
wished well to the state, and the mem
Dry of his life is a heritage of honor
for the city. Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt
Mr. Cleveland said:
The tribute of sadness which here
prevails is but a subdued echo of the
sorrow of thousands of our fellow
cOuntrymen who are mourning the
death of a good man and a useful citi-
zen. The universal grief that has
troubled this great city, where Abram
5. Hewitt lived SO long and wrought
so well, indicate the true value of his
life. Today we find welcome consola-
ton in the thought that our distin-
guished fellow citizen, though dead, is
not entirely lost to us.
We have fallen upon a time when
many disturbances in the currents Of
our social, political and industrial life,
nearly give rise to the fear that the
stalwart and patriotic popular Views
essential to our national success and
happiness are growing weak and per-
maps waning to extinction. But the
dead whom we here lament is not lost
TO US. From his death comes reassur-
ance; and we are taught by the spon-
taneous tribute paid on every side to
ms civic usefulness that the American
people still gratefully dwell upon dis
interested service for the public veal.
and that patriotic impulse and high
aspirations still have an abiding place
in the hearts of our countrymen.

US not only how to live, but also how
to die. AS members Of a nation more

Hundreds of these people are not
only starving, but suffering from cold.
Some of the children wear nothing but
calico shirts and many are naked.
From three to five inches Of snow has
fallen on several occasions. Last sea-
sons drought left the Indians without
crops, and the rivers and springs dried
up, their stock perishing for food and
drink. The squaws have been unable
to get material with which to weave
blankets. They have given up all their
cheap silver, jewelry and trinklets for
flour and meat long ago.

So Declares an T1ncOnfrmed
Report From Caracas, Bri
fish Naval Officer Being
Quoted to This Effect-At
Any Rate the Prospects Of
a Settlement Seem Bright
er Than Ever.

CARACAS, Jan. 26.-The Associate
Press correspondent has just receive
a communication from the British naval
officer at Guaira informing him that the
blockade will be raised on Wednesday.
Not Confirmed in WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-
There is no information in WASHINGTON
to Justify the positive statement con-
tanned in the Caracas dispatch that the
Venezuelan blockade will be raised on
Wednesday. Minister Bowen continues
hopeful that such a happy consumma-
ton will result from the pending nego-
tiations, as the latest proposition he
has made to the allied governments is
regarded by him as an eminently fair
one. He is still awaiting formal re-
plies to that proposition from Great
Britain and Germany and on these will
depend the question whether the block
ade IS to be raised.
The question now to be determined is
the amount of the customs receipts
which are to be given as a guaranty.
Great Britain is believed to be favor
able to accepting the 80 per cent Of
fered by Mr.. Bowen, while Germany is
supposed to be insisting on so per cent.
What Bowen Proposes.
Minister Bowen, acting for Venezue-
la, in return for the raising of the
blockade, pledges 80 per cent of the re-
ce1pts of the ports of Porto Cabello and
La Guayra, the same to be collected by
joint commission made up of one rep
rpSpntaTiVQ Of
having claims against Venezuela.
Light From London.
LONDON, Jan. 26-Great Britain
and Germany have informed their rep
reSentatiVes at Washington that thew
consider Minister Bowen's proposals
regarding Venezuela's guarantees to
form a satisfactory basis for further
negotiations. In addition to the offer OF
the part of the customs at La Guayra
and Porto CabellO as a guarantee Mr..
Bowen informed the powers that sew
eral New York banks had expressed
their Willingness to undertake the pay
ment of the first claims demanded by
the powers upon the basis Of such
guarantee. AS soon as the powers
heard Of the consent of the reliable
houses to guarantee the payment of
the first claims the blockade will be
raised. This is expected to be within
two or three days.
In the event of this arrangement be-
ing concluded it is supposed that the
customs of the two ports mentioned
will be administered Jointly by repre-
sentatives of the powers and of the
banks concerned. 1t is understood here
that the banks referred to by Mr..
Bowen are J. & w. Seligman & Co.
and ]. P. Morgan & Co. The guaran-
tee offered to the powers through Mr..
Bowen is a portion of the customs re-
ceipts of La Guayra and perhaps Of
several other ports. The proposal was
first made to Great Britain, which pro-
v1sionally accepted it, and then to Ger
many, which accepted it in principle on
Saturday. The allies are now exam
lining the value Of the guarantee offered
and are negotiating details, like the
form of payment.

ALLIANCE STRAINED SEVERELY.
Great Britain Prefers American to Ger.

man liCIiOSIIPs
Special Cable to The Globe.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-While outward
harmony continues to prevail between
England and Germany with respect to
Venezuela, the alliance has lately I'M
dergOne a severe strain. The ilI-timed
violence of the German warships has
moved Lord Landsdowne, the foreign
minister, to institute immediate inquir-
les into the circumstances of the case,
Count Metternich, the German am
basSador, telegraphed to Berlin for in
formation. Baron Won Richthofen re-
piled that the imperial government
awaited details from the scene Of ac-
ton, but was confident that the Ger
man commodore attacked the Vene-
zuelan fort only as the result of serious
provOcation.
With this dispatch before them, Lord
LansdOWne and Count Metternich had
an interview. 1t was impossible to tell
what passed between them, but if Lord
Transformers remarks reflected on the
tactics of the kaiser's naval subordi-
mates, they must have bordered on the
character of a protest. One consider
alton is operating powerfully to keep
the British government inside the
tracks of the Anglo German alliance.
Lord LapsdoWne's original purpose was
to heal the breach between the British
and German nations and remove what
he believed to be a constant menace to
peace. The king sympathized with this
object, and the whole cabinet acquiesc-
ed in Lansdowne's plan. The foreign
minister clings to the hope that his OBJ
Ject may yet be realized. He thinks
that If it is, he will emerge from the
pending complications with his diplo-
matte reputation intact. Consequently,
seconded by his colleagues, he intends
to postpone an actual rupture with
Germany as long as possible, always
determined, however, to accept that al
tentative rather than estrange the
United States. Any Wanton offense to
the United States on the part Of Ger
many would cause Great Britain to
dissOciate herself from the kaisers pol
icies. The foreign office and the state
department are in regular communica-
ton and there is reason to believe that
they understand each other.
