 Mir. Owens motion was. however,
 adopted without any dissenting votes. An able paper was contributed by Hon. w. l.. Martin, formerly Attorney Gen eral, of Alabama, on The British Con- stitution. The large subject. involving
 the centuries of tho growth of Anglo Saxon government with its primary idea of representative government. was dealt
 with by MT. Martin in a masterly way. The paper evidenced deep research, with
 feen appreciation of the importance and possibilities of the subject. Tho English Constitution. Mir. Martin declared was not written document, completed at one time. 1t consisted of
 many things written and unwritten. It was. he said. thing of the growth of centuries. the results of continual strug- gle against monarchism and absolutism for liberty. It was, he said the un- broken development of the principle of a representative government.
 This continual struggle, with its spleu- died result was reviewed by MT. Martin. The old meetings of the Saxons he des- | cribed and the temporary success of the | early English monarchs to abolish repre- sentative government and to establish dDsOfutlSn were TeVleWe0 with the resurrection of the principles that no king was ever able to utterly destroy. The crisis in the life of the principles of liberty the revolt of the barons against | King John was vivldly described, with | it's happy ending in the submission of the King at Runnymede. The contents of | the Magma Charter. the famous document signed by King John were summed up. The component facts of the British Goa I stitution, the Biil of Rights, the Petition of Rights and other portions were des- cribed and their origin pointed out. Mir.

BADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, June 19-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say. Evidence multipiies that tha second week of June saw the turning point for the better In crop. trade and lines continued and accelerated by the weather of the past week has begun to be reflected fin actual demand at the West and South, and although cool, rainy weather Is still drawback at tho East. many signs of progress in the right direc- ton are noticed. Pig iron and steel are weaker, buying is still slow and produc- uon IS at an enormous rate. An impor- tant, but expected decline has materializ- ed in lead and cotton owing to manipu- lative handling, has advanced further complicating the situation of manufactur- ed goods. Wool is steady at the East while selling readily enough at leading western primary markets. Cotton goods are rather firmer, though buying is naturally only from a hand to mouth character. and export business is lacking. Mems wear worsteds are depressed, but dres goods are in good shape.
 Pig Iron production Is at the rate of 21,- 000,0o0 tons yearly and buyers still hold, hence weakness and declines of 15c to $l per ton at all markets. Re-sales of im- ported iron are at concessions. Steel is easier and finished products are less ac- tive. Iron bars at to 10c per hundred pounds lower. Tin plate mills are run ming ut full capacity. A large rail ton mage awaits placing. Lead had lost a half cent this week and tin is lower. but copper is ostensibly unchanged.
 Lumber Is feeling the effects of exist ing strikes and the Encouragement caused by labor troubles generally but is still quite we'll held. Anthracite coal Is call ed for more rapidly than it can be fur nlshed. Leather is quiet, shoe nanu- featuring Is between seasons but eastern shipments are larger than year ago. Eastern straw hat manufacturers have done business fully equal to last years excellent trade and recorders are being prolonged beyond the usual period
 Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending June IS, aggregated 3,617,415 bushels, against 4910,3l0 last week and 3,S60 434 same week last year.
 Wheat exports ince July 1 aggregated 21S, 347 bushels against 2l5,2S5,6i9 last season.
 Corn exports aggregated 1,0S9,353 bushels, against S24,S15 last week and 1l0979 year ago. For the fiscal year exports are 64,- 364, $50 bushels, against 26sl2,Sl1 last sea- son. Bushes failures for the week end ind with June IS, number 165 against lS1 last week In Canada for the week failures number 25 compared with Is last week.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
DISTRIBUTION OF MERcHAN.
 DIsE RETARDED.
This Caused by Low Temperatures and Excessive Precipitation at
 Many Points-1he Gens-al
 Outlook Regarded as Good.

New York, June t9.-R. c. Dun & Co., s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say;
 Unseasonably low temperatures, togeth- CT with excessive precipitation at many points, have retarded the distribution of merchandise. Taking the country as a whole, however, the net result has been satisfactory. better crop prospects accel- erating forward business and enlarging order lists of manufacturers. Railway earnings thus far reported for June ex- ceed last years by 5.S per cent. Condi- tions in the iron and steel industry are sufficiently confusing to prevent any def mite tendency, although factors calcu- | lated to produce ,geakness appear to pre- ponderate.
 Special sales of imported pig iron have been made at concessions, but this is at | tributed to delay in transportation and a forced sale by owners. Three depress- | ing factors have existed: The labor slt- | uation. condition of crops and the de- | cline in prices of stocks, although all have improved and may soon cease to | exercise any baneful effect. Meanwhile, | uncertainty as to the future course of ! prices of iron and steel products has | become generally acknowledged and even experts in the industry hesitate to ex- press decided opinion. Latest reports of | imports show large decrease except as | to ore.
 At the cotton mills there is fair cur
 rent of activity, although spinners whose stocks of raw material are low, have not ] only ceased business for future delivery, but refuse to consider propositions or else place their figures at a prohibitive posi- ton. Demands are chiefly limited to inn mediate consumption. Lower grades of light weight woolens for next spring have been opened at advances of 1-2 to 5 | cents yard. Reports regarding the foot | wear Industry are satisfactory. Foreign | trade is remarkably well maintained. con-
 sidering the numerous factors that oper-
 ate. Failures this week were 213 in the
 United States against 2s4 last year and
 A in Canada, compared with 19 year | ago.

THE GERMAN ELECTIONS.
Radical Organs Favor Socialists Over
 Agrarians

Berlin, June 19.-The political parties are be- ginning to outline their policy in the ap- preaching rebalotings for members of the Reichstag The National Liberals and members of the Center Party have agreed mutual support at Duisburg and Essen, where each has candidate against the Socialist candi- dates.
 In the Grand Duchy of Baden. however, the Center Party has decided tp abstain from voting where the National Liberals have re- ballots against Socialists This decision prob ably means the defeat of the National Liberal leader, Herr Bassermann, in Carlsruhe.
 The Socialist organ, Vorwaerts, today made direct bid for the support of the Radical votes for Socialists against Conservatives, members of the Center Party, etc. It Is ex- pected that the Richter and Earth Radicals will everywhere get the support of all the other parties against the Socialists whereas most of the radicals rely on Socialist votes where they oppose Conservatives, Center Party and other candidates in Berlin
 The Radical organs, Vossische Zeitung and Tageblatt. oSenly advocate voting for Social ists against Agrarians.

London June 19.-Lord Camperdown in the House of Lords today drew the attention of the house to the recent revelation of Foreign Minister Lansdowne to the effect that Ger many has ntimated that If other British col Onies follow the example of Canada in giving preference to British imports. Great Britain would probably not be allowed to continue in receipt of the most favored nation terms.
 Lord Camperdown asked that the papers on the subject be laid on the table.

Representative Livingston of the Atlanta District, had persuaded Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow to issue an order transferring the headquarters of the Southern Division of the rural free delivery from Nashville to Atlanta.

PACKAGE OF NOTES FOUND.
Were Taken From Bank of Vesta--
Two Suspects Under Arrest.

From Saturdays Daily.
Redwood Falls, Mimi, June 5.-One
package of the notes stolen from the
bank at Vesta Tuesday was found yes
terday in the Cottonwood river, four
miles south of Milroy, near where the
team stolen from Arthur Athey by the
robbers was found
The package was in a tin case and
the notes were thoroughly water soaked.
They will be all right, however, as soon
as they dry out. 1t is believed the other
package of notes will be found in that
vicinity. Cashier Lew Wallace, accom-
panied by detectives, is on the trail.
The robbers, it is thought, drove rap
idly south from Vesta until daylight,
when they stopped to examine their haul.
Finding the notes of no value as booty,
they threw them away, divided up the
cash, let the team loose and separated,
each going in different direction. 1t is
not yet known whether the two suspects
under arrest at Marshall had anything to
Go with the robbery or not.

Byron was in a state of excitement
yesterday. The Baptist church was
blown up by dynamite last night and
terribly damaged.
Rev. Risinger, pastor, is trying to To-
cate the perpetrator.
There has been existing a grievance for
the past year between the Baptist and
Methodist churches. Rev. Utton, for
mer Baptist minister, resigned and be-
came Methodist preacher, which caused
indignity in the community
The Southern Minnesota association
convention closed its session here yester-
day. Rev. Vas Ess of Winona who
preached the sermon during the gathering
has since received threatening letters
through the mail unsigned, and it is be-
lieved these parties are responsible for
the affair of last night.
The dynamite was placed in the attic
near the chimney.
Byron is a small town on the Chicago

AID FOR FLOOD SUFFERS.
Governor Van SAINT Issues An Ap.
peal to the People.
From Saturda VIZ Dailv
From Saturday'S Dali.

| am advised that on account of the
recent great floods in the state of Kansas
much damage has been done to property
and great loss and suffering brought
to the people of that state. Scores of
lives have been lost and thousands have
been rendered homeless and destitute. AS
sistance is imperative and prompt aid
to relieve the distress is sought from
every state in the Union. A generous
hand should at once be extended by the
people of Minnesota to alleviate as far as
possible the unfortunate condition of the
people of our sister state.
! l hence recommend that the matter of
raising funds for the purpose indicated be
vigorously taken up by the public Of
1 ficers of each city, town and village in
' our state, and that all moneys, as soon
as collected, be RENTED either to Wal
lace G. Nye, secretary of the Minneapo-
lis Commercial club, or to G. P. Slime
secretary of the st. Paul Commercial
, club

Sheriff Williams Not Open to Censure
in Tanke Affair.

From Saturdays Daily.
As is announced elsewhere Governor
Van SAINT finds no reason to discipline the
sheriffs who were supposed TO have been
mixed up in the Tanke affair. 1t is a
source of qualification to the many
friends of Sheriff Williams of Blue Earth
county that he had at no time placed
himself in position of censure and it is
to be regretted that his name was un-
necessarily dragged into a matter that
was grossly exaggerated. Sheriff Will
liams has been charged with something
he was entirely innocent of and the ST.
Paul newspapers have been wrong in
what they have said of him. Since Mr.
Williams assumed the duties of sheriff
he has made an excellent official, has at
tended strictly to business and has won
the high esteem of all who came in con-
tact with him. His private character is
above reproach.

NO CHARGES PREFERRED.
No Action Taken Against Sheriffs
Forsythe and Mcmillan.
From Saturda Daily

Gov. Van SAINT, interviewed today by
the Dispatch concerning the agitated
question of the Tanke sheriffs, said:
''In relation to the statements made
charging the sheriffs of Watonwan and
Nicollet counties with gross improperly
when conveying Tanke to Saltwater, |
will say that no charge of any character
has been filed against either of these
officers. am advised by the attorney
general that under our statutes the foun-
dation for proceeding against officers in
this connection must be a complaint in
writing preferring charges. The mat
ter is one every citizen should feel an in
terest in, and any citizen has the privi-
lege of filing complaint.
''Should this be done, the proceedings
provided by the statutes will be insti-
tuted. No action can be taken until
charges are preferred and complaint
filed in this office. st. Paul Dispatch.
