HILL FOR RECIPROCITY
He Declares Himself at 9 Banque'
~ - - IN Honor: Of Clifford Y
stff"T. - fiH ~ =. 55.ff.t. : =, =

: James j.. Hill made, a, strong address il,
behalf Of reciprocity at the banquet in
st. Paul Saturday evening in honor OF
Clifford Sifton, minister Of the interior OF
the. Canadian government. -
Speaking the same language, thinking
the same thoughts, reading the same
books and dependent largely upon similar
commercial conditions he could see nc
reason why there should not be the most
intimate relations between the United
States and its northern neighbor. One
of the strongest ties that bound the two
countries together was mutual trade re-
tons, and the fact that both countries
used the same great ma tural highway, the
great lakes.
He: had always been particularly inter-
ested in the destiny Of Canada because il
was the land Of his birth. The pushing,
aggressive character OF her people was
well Demonstrated by the fact that a
large share Of the business interests OF
the. United States was under the direction
Of men born in Canada. He spoke Of the
two countries as being sisters, the United
States being the elder sister Of the col
onies. She had started housekeeping like
g. grown up woman and had succeeded
remarkably well. r. .r,:..,s. e.. p
Mr.. Hill said that he favored freer trade
relations between the, two countries, .es-
pecially with regard to coal, lumber and
wheat Transportation facilities; he
thought, would be greatly bettered if the
imaginary barrier were let: down to that
western products would, be allowed tc
follow their natural outlet to the Atlantic
by way Of the st. Lawrence river. 70
In replying Mr.. Sifton expressed the
hope that more cordial trade relations
could be cultivated between the two coun-
tries. The United States had progressed
faster than Canada commercially because
Of the great inducements held out to the
young men of all nations after the civil
war to make this country their home
This had led to a big rnigra ton Of Can
ada's smart young men, among them be-
ing J. J. HILL. -. ~ .:.7@>> - Z:
= Just now; Mr.. Sifton declared, the tide
is flowing the other way; and many OF
the best young men of this country are
seeking fortune across the Canadian bor-
der. Canadians, as a whole, were il, ia
yor of reciprocity but the concessions
must be mutual. --.' ....-.
Among the guests were Governor S. r
Van SAINT and Archbishop John Ireland.

USE. TOO Q MUCH COAL
Fast Freights Between Chicago and
4 Minneapolis Are to Be
- Given Up. v
Seven Railroads Agree to the Aban.
donment Of Competition With 4
Express Companies.

q
Seven railroads running between Min-
neapolis and Chicago have agreed to
abandon the fast freight trains which
have been in operation for two years,
between Chicago and the twin cities. The
reason advanced to-day was the lack OF
coal. 49, :. q 81. szt 81. FL. n
These special fast freight trains were
blished for the purpose Of competing
with express companies. The trains were
profitable as long as coal was plentiful and
cheap, but for the past month the com
paniess have found them very expensive
to, operate. .sss,.., - ~. - .
They left Chicago at 5 p. m. daily and
arrived in st. Paul at noon the next day
making practically express train speed
Freight leaving Chicago one afternoon
would be delivered to consignees in. the
twin cities the next afternoon. r /.
In order to do this, the trains were rur
at a furious pace. The largest locomo-
tives were used and the consumption OF
tcoal was immense &~f1t~ - =

ing the past two weeks has suffered a
fuel famine has coal to burn. An Illinois
Central train, loaded with fifteen cars of
coal, stopped here to repair the locomo-
tive The coal was Immediately confis-
Gated by a body Of citizens Efforts to buy
the coal from the railway company were
fruitless. and the crowd, which had in
creased to 500 or 900 people, set to work
to unload the coal. Many prominent citi-
zens assisted in the raid. Among the num-
Der were Colonel J. r. Beggs, president OF
the First National bank; REhomas Lyons
president Of the State bank; Rev Edward
Baech, pastor of the Presbyterian church;
REV. William F. Prout pastor of the Free
Methodist church; Policeman Craft prom
inent merchants and scores of other citi-
szens. Farmers bringing corn to town were
persuaded to turn their wagons into drays
and assisted in hauling coal to those most
in need. The coal was distributed in ton
lots. A weigher was secured and a strict
account kept in hopes of making salts
factory settlement with the company that
owns the coal.

moral or legal right to visit another
mans truck patch an take away a

instruct her dat a ripe millyon allus
gives out peculiar sound when yo'

"We will say dat de ole woman
takes dat war map in hand an sots
out an finds de patch an de mill
yon. She crawls back frew de fence

She totes it home an reckons de

The Panama deal is still topic
of political discussion, and the
Democrats are as determined as
ever to make it an issue in the next
campaign. If they do they will
show up one Of the most stupendous
outrages ever attempted by this
government. From the looks of
things this will be supplemented by
another attempt on the part of this
republication administration TO
grab San Domingo. The recent
troubles down there have made
things ripe for the deal that few
inen in this country have been try
ing for years pull off. 1t is not
generally known, but nevertheless
II is the truth, that the bonds OF
San Domingo, the negro republic,
to the extent Of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars, are owned IN this
country and are controlled by Sen
ator Matt. Quay of Pennsylvania.
and his copartuers in the grating
game If this government takes over
the island of San Domingo, those
bonds, which cost the purchasers
about twenty five cents on the
dollar, will be worth par. They,
therefore, will make some three
hundred per cent profit. The game
is worth the candle. Look out for
Developments in San Domingo.
