$500 Raised in Minnesota for the
Work in Foreigr:
Fields.

The annual meeting Of the Minnesota
branch of the Wonan's Board Of Mis-
sions of the Interior opened yesterday aft
ernoon at Plymouth church and will close
tomorrow at noon, holding three sessions
to-day. The attendance Of delegates from
outside of the city exceeds 100. The pres
ence of Mrs. Moses Smith of Chicago,
president of the W.aB. M. T., and of sew
eral missionaries fresh from foreign fields,
gives much interest to the meeting. &
This morning the report Of the corre-
spending secretary, Mrs. S. w. Dicken-
son of st. Paul, gave the amount raised
for missions this year, as $5,566-a slight
gain over last year, but still below the

Minneapolis Flour Mille1s Will Not
Be Represented at Railroad
Managers Meeting.
Apparently Railroad Men Feel They
Can Handle Rate Problem
Without Aid.

The Minneapolis millers will not he
represented at the meeting Of railroad
managers in Chicago tomorrow called
to s,act upon rates affecting the Minne-s
apolis mills. For two reasons there will
be no millers there. First, it is not con-
sidered vitality important that the indus
try should have a representative presents.
second, the milers have not been invited
to attend. At noon to-day no invitation
had been received by the millers to go
to Chicago and argue their case, and
tentative inquiry from here failed to draw
out, such an invitation from the traffic
men. s
It is the inference here that the rail-
road men feel that they have thoro and
comprehensive understanding of the sit
iuation, and that nothing additional would
be gained by any further detailed pre-
sentation Of the milers' grievances. So
unless some inquiry for further informa-
ton from the nilers comes late to-day,
the meeting, which will besof the greatest
Importance to the Minneapolis millers,
will be held without any one present to
guard the mill interests.
The millers are willing to let it so at
this and will not try to force a represen-
tatlve upon the railroad men, .a. q
Local Situation. ;@.-
The only change of Importance in the
foreign inquiry for flour is a little better,
and were conditions at all favorable mill
ers could now enter good lot of bust
ness to- go abroad. There is, in fact, some
export business being done, but in a
scattered way. Flour is going out to-day
to Australia, but this is old business and
there have been no new Australian sales
very recently.
- Another Mil Going.
The Washlourn- Crosby company started
another mill this morning, making four
Of that company's mills now grinding.
The Pillsbury- Washburn company has the
same two mills going that started up early
company had not started any more mills
at noon to-day. With the smaller COM
panfes operating there are now thirteen
mills running instead of twelve. Ship
ments have made the turn. Against Mon
days 2,445 barrels and Tuesdays $500
barrels, the mills shipped yesterday 1897
barrels, an indication that the recovery
has started. A miller said this morning
that he looked for about 10000 barrels to
go out to- day and did not think the daily
movement would rise much above this
level for few days at least. The n1ilers,
he said. were not forcing the capacity of
such mills as were being operated and the
whole matter is still in such indefinite
shape that they are likely to go very slow
pending the receipt Of something official
from the railroads of nature more defin-
tie than anything so far received.

TESTIMONIAL TO PAULUS
Morse Musical League Will Give a
Festival Tomorrow Evening.

Olaf Paulus, the noted Norwegian COM
poser, was tired but happy man last
evening when he laid aside his baton after
carrying two big choruses in their final
rehearsal for the musical festival which
the Morse Musical league will give to-
morrow evening at Plymouth church as
testimonial to Mr.. Paulus. The league
has spared neither expense nor labor in
arranging for this festival which in ex-
cellence of program will rank with any
year. - &
As The program will be exclusively Nor
wegian. While Paulus lis not generally
known in America he is entitled to recog-
nition. His works have a decided tinge
of originality and he Is a master Of de-
scriptive composition. On the program
for this concert is his .'Vestanveir.' a
descriptive work for male voices. This
number will be given by a chorus of
seventy-five picked voices from the
Viking, Nordmaendenes and Kjerulf
clubs singing societies Of Minnea polls,
the Fran society Of st. Paul, and the
students of Luther seminary at Hamline.
The chorus has been at work on this
number and Grieg's 'Sigurd Jorsalfar''
since January.
J.. 4. Hjort will sing the solo in the
Grieg number and Knut o. Ekman will
take the baritone sol in 'Vestanveir.s' s.

The Coal Roads Refuse to Produce
,..-sg%. Them. . s-.... -
New York, April 23.-In the coal road
hearing before the interstate commerce
commission yesterday Mr.. Shearn, coun-
sci for the complainant, called for all the
contracts entered into between the Le-
high Valley Coal company. He said the
contracts would show that the coal com
pany is to receive for all it's coal IS per
cent of the, price realized at tidewater.
The contracts would show the creation of
monopoly, that the coal companies have
not power over the output of their mines
because they can only get rid of the
quantity the railroads are willing to take
from them and the railroads will: not
handle the coal in sufficient quantities to
reduce the price to the consumer -
Mr. Gowan+ Of the Lehigh Valley COM
pany, made a long argument against the
request and, denied the existence of any
such contracts as Mr. Shearn described.
The commission decided that the Le-
high Valley railroad should produce the
contracts demanded. Counsel refused.
w. w. Ross, representing the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, also refused a
similar demand. He declared that the
coal was bought at the mine and that
consequently the question of transporta =
tion does not enter into the contract and
the commission has no jurisdiction.
Counsel for the other roads declined to
produce their contracts. The commission
certified the point raised to the United
States circuit court, where a decision will
be rendered. Wv
George o. Waterman. secretary of the
Central Railroad company of New Jersey.
and also OF the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal
company testified that there are no con-
tracts between the companies for the
transportation Of coal; there are contracts
for the purchase and sale of coal. He ad-
mitted the possession Of the contracts,
but declined to produce them
