MACEDONIA A
VERITABLE ARSENAL
England Bound to Figure
Largely in Final Act of
Balkan Drama.
necial Cable to The Globe.

Special Cable to The Globe
LONDON, April 2.-Great Britain
is taking q stronger stand in the Bal
kan crisis than the English press and
public appear to realize. This state
ment Is based partly on information
obtained in diplomatic quarters and
partly on the explicit declarations of
a distinguished member of the Ar
menian Relief association. The strong
er stand suggested consists in warning
to Turkey that Europe cannot toler-
ate the continuance of anarchy in the
Balkans, and significant intimations to
Russia and Austria that no settlement
must be contemplated in the disturbed
area that leaves the interests of Great
Britain out Of account
There is a strong feeling that Rus
STA, Austria and Turkey are disposed
to play with fire. and the government
has deemed 1t wise to formulate tho
British policy IN precise terms for thu
benefit of the cabinets of st. Peters,
burg and Vienna. Otherwise 1t was
feared that Russia and Austria, count
ing on the weakness or Indifference of
the Balfour ministry, might embark
on scheme to control the near East
that would inevitably provoke war.
Downing street regards British inter-
ests in the near East as vital to the
integrity Of the empire, and has not
the slightest intention of seeing them
fall before Pan Slavic or Pan-Ger-
manic greed.
Europe Is nearer war over the Bal
kan question today than at any pre-
vious moment for years." said a mem
Der of the. executive staff of the Ar
menian Relief association. THE cloud
may pass, but the situation is extra
ordinarily dangerous. One Of our rep
resentatives, who has just returned
from the scene of the trouble, reports
that Macedonia Is regular arsenal.
He says that the caves, cellars and
churches are filed with rifles and am
munition, imported throughout a long
period Of years. The priests are tire
less revolutionaries, and there is no
thought anywhere of stopping short
of emancipation from Turkish rule
When the Russo-Austrian reform
scheme breaks down, then look out.
The powers, in the name of civilization.
must act. The only effective action
possible can scarcely fail to entail the
movement of fleets and armies on a
huge scale. Russia's motives are a
matter of deepest suspicion in Eng
land. What she will dare we cannot
predict, but Great Britain nronosee
playing an important role when tha
curtain rises on the final act on the
Balkan drama"

Game and Fish Commission
Sends a Delayed Report to
House Which Does Not
Furnish Information Re-
quested and an Effort Will
Today Be Made to Compel
Compliance With Nyquist
Resolution.

A portion of the house membership
will insist that Executive Agent Full
ierton, OF the game and fish commits
sion, comply with the request of the
mousse for an itemized statement of the
receipts from sales of confiscated
game, nets, guns, etc.
The members who were instrument
tai In securing the house request think
the executive agent has attempted to
play horse with them and they are dis
posed to fight today if necessary to Sc
cure compliance with a reasonable re-
quest for information to which the
legislature and public have a perfect
right.
- On March II Representative Nyquist
introduced a resolution calling for an
accounting within five days. The res
olution specifically called, among other
things, for the following statements:
. said commission shall also furnish an
ltemlZed statement of all licenses. tags
eac.' issued all game. guns, seines, nets
or any otner property conflScated by said
commission. giving the name of person.
or persons. from whom the property was
TAKEN the name of the person to whom
sold and the price received for the same.
There shall be included in the above re-
port any receipts from any source not
speclhcaly mentioned above, and for the
same period mentioned above"
All the requests for information
about seizure of game, guns, nets,
and the sale of the game We're
apparently not taken seriously, as they
have not been acquiesced in by the
executive agent, who, fifteen DAYS in
stead of five after the adoption of the
resolution, responded with the printers
copy for the biennial report of the
commission to the governor.
Must Furnish Information.
This mass of copy which apparently
answers everything about the doings
of the game and fish commission Of
nee except the questions asked by the
house was referred to the game and
fish committee. Today Chairman Kelly
will send the stuff back to the house
with the recommendation that Fuller
ton be compelled to comply with the
provisions of the Nyquist resolution.
Careful peruSaI of the sixty pages Of
typewriter copy discloses two pages
partially given over to a statement OF
receipts from sales of game and furs
for the years 1901 and 1902. The state
ment for 1901 complies with the res
olution to the extent of specifically
mentioning the sale of sixteen chick
ems and twelve birds. The receipts
were, according to the comprehensive
statement, $7S6.68 and the expenses in
CURED $1,1S1.15. The number of
seizures is stated as LOO. The state
ment for 1902 shows that L. F. Shaker
paid the commission S45 for two guns,
and j. P. Saunders purchased two deer
heads for $685.. Several sportsmen
have requested legislators to look up
valuable shooting irons captured by
wardens, and for two years the news
papers have been running serial stories
of the executive agents game seizures,
sometimes running as high as 500
chickens in one lot.

ASK DOUGLAS IF
BILL is PASSED
House In Quandary Over Stat
us Of Measure Which Re-
ceived sc Votes.

Pending an opinion by the attorney
general the house does not know
whether It passed or killed the Smith
bill permitting banks of discount and
deposit to conduct savings Depart
ments.
The house spent half the morning
debating the measure. and just before
1T was put to a vote Speaker Babcock
declared that he was inclined TO be-
heve that under the constitutional pro-
visions covering amendment Of bank
ing laws the Smith bill would require
two-thirds Of the house, or eighty
votes, to pass.
The vote was taken and recorded
as sc to SO in favor of the bill. Speak
er Babcock decided 10 hold the official
announcement pending the opinion of
Gen. Douglas. The opinion was not
received before adjournment last night,
but 1t Is understood that the attorney
general will hold that the bill has pass
ed on the assumption that the con-
stitutional provision referred to by the
speaker applies only to banks OF is

KILL PRIMARY BILLS.
House Prepares Large Calendar for
Consideration Today.

The house yesterday FILTERED away
two hours before settling down to
business on a general order of seventy
five bills. A disposition to slaughter
accompanied the funny feeling and all
the pending bills amending the pri-
mary election law were laid out.
The speaker who had been an in
terested if somewhat Disguised spec
tator was moved to inject sharp rep
rimand when a motion for the COM
mittee to rise was made, and as a re-
suit the members settled down to busi-
ness, and in the next hour sent TWEEN
ty-four bills to the calendar, Indefinite
~ postponed a half dozen and laid fif-
teen over for farther consideration to-
day.
An effort was made to save the An
deregg-LemOn blanket ballot bill and
the Bowling bill providing that cleo
tors shall receive the tickets of all
parties. The house permitted the bills
to be excepted from the committee re-
port, but summarily sat upon motions
to again place them on general orders.

KILL WILSON BILL.
Railroad Commission Must Work With
Public examiner.

Judge Wilson's bill to place the ex-
animation Of railway books for the
purposes of taxation entirely in the
hands of the railway and warehouse
commission was yesterday indefinitely
postponed by the house.
Judge Wilson made a gallant fight
for the bill, which was designed to re-
move the present friction between the
commission and the public examiner
He has been confined to his bed for
several days suffering with a poisoned
leg and yesterday limped to his seat
with the aid of a cane, but he pluckily
stood for an hours speech at the morn
ing session and again for a half hour
after recess.
Judge Wilson insisted that his bill
was drawn not as a slap at the public
examiner, but to put the work and the
credit where it belongs. He showed
by certificates of the railway commits
sion and state auditor that the major
portion of the tax collections for which
the public examiner claims credit were
brought about by the commission, and
that under the present system only
friction can be expected.

TRIM HINES ACCOUNT.
Expert Accountants Claim for SIS Per
Day Reduced to $40 Per Day


The house yesterday cut Expert Ac-
countant Hines bill for services on the
capitol investigation from S1,1616 81 TO
$827.17 and appropriated the money for
payment.
The cut in the accountants claim
was not made without a fight on the
part of Chairman Won Valid, of the
public accounts committee, and Messrs.
Hickey and Sheppard, of the subcom-
mittee, which conducted the examina-
ton. The resolution called up by Mr..
Won Valid provided for compensation
at the rate of SIS per day of eight
hours for work on the capitol accounts,
and $40 per day for services in ex-
aiming the offices Of the state treas
urer and public examiner.
The house several days ago refused
to pay SIS per day, and yesterday Mr..
Won Void advocated payment at the
committees figures, saying that the
committee had unanimously agreed to
fix Hines compensation at SO per day.
Representative ROsenwald baked at
SIS per day, saying that no agreement
had been made with Mr.. Hines, who
agreed to be satisfied with the figure
the committee should fix.
Representative SimOns was inclined
to attack Mr.. Hines ability, saying
that he could not find that Hines was
an expert accountant, but, on the other
hand, q merchant. Messrs. Hickey and
Sheppard vehementy resented the i'm
putations made by Mr.. SimOns insist
ing that Mr.. Hines came to the COM
mittee recommended by heads of lead
ing financial institutions I'm st. Paul,
Minneapolis and throughout the state.
SimOns came back at them with
motion to allow Hines So per day, but
afterwards changed IL to $40 per day,
and his motion was carried by a vote
of 81 to 80. Several members of the
committee are sore over the house ac-
ton, saying that the house required
them to do the work, and after it's
completion repudiated the committees

Representative Cole yesterday got
his bill designed to secure an eduita-
Die assessment and taxation of cut logs
10 the calendar. and incidentally won
the hardest house fight OF the session.
Mr.. Coles bill provides that all logs
ana timber cut in any county in the
state shall be listed and assessed for
taxation in that county, without ref
erence to residence of the owner or
the place of manufacture or sale. II
also makes 1t the duty of the SURVEYORS
general to return lists of logs scaled
to the auditors of the several counties
IN which the logs We're cut. Boom
companies are prohibited from releas-
ing logs on which taxes are delin-
quent.
Mr.. Cole showed how, In one season,
6l5'OOO,OOO feet of logs foated on the
upper Mississippi escaped taxation,
and how from 200.000,O0O to 500. 600 goo
feet escape annually. He insisted that
by the passage of his bill the state will
secure taxes on S10,000,0OO worth OF
property annually which now goes scot
free.
Fought by Hennepin Men.
The opposition came from the Hem
nepin delegation. Many of the um-
Der barons live In Hennepin county.
and the Hennepin members saw in the
Cole bill scheme likely to result in
double taxation. Mr.. Gillette de-
nounced the bill as a gross and
damnable injustice" and discrimina-
ton against Hennepin county. Mr..
Shearer also delivered a long speech
in opposition to what he styled a sys-
tenn of double taxation
Mr.. Cole has worked the entire ses-
sion on his bill, and has secured tho
assistance of some of the best legal
talent of the state in perfecting it.
1t was the fight of his life, and he met
the arguments Of the opposition at
every point, but was on the verge of
exhaustion when he at last won, and
his bill was sent to the calendar.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, April 2.-Three
hundred Democrats, who taxed the ca
pacity of the Slavery hotel dining room.
attended the Jeffersonian banquet to-
night and the demand for tickets could
not be met. The attendance was rep
resentative of the Democratic party
throughout the state. The principal
speakers were William J. Bryan and
former Vice President Adlai E. Steven
son. William r. Hearst, of New
York, who had been announced as a
speaker, sent a letter which was read,
in which he urged continued devotion
by Democrats to the political princi-
pies of Jefferson. George F. Rhinehart.
of Newton, presided in the absence of
former Congressman Walf F. Butler.
Mr.. Stevenson, who spoke first, IN
order to catch an early train for his
home at Bloomington, H., gave his
views as to the proper policy for the
Democratic party in the coming pres
idential campaign. He said that in the
next presidential campaign the Repub-
lican party would stand for the trusts,
high tariff, extravangance and foreign
conquest.
