The past week has shown a marked

of the Ballet The rehearsals are now
showing the result of the many weeks of
hard work of preparation. The boys have
been putting in three and four evenings
each week for the past two months, and
there have been many special rehearsals
by the Jollity girls in noon hours. The
eight jollity girls are developing steps and
evolutions that even they did not know
themselves capable Of. Last year, when
the boys produced the dance in the open
ing chorus Of 1.-THE Viking it. was
thought that they had done as much as
the ordinary man could do; but the jol-
lily girls dance in s''The Queen of, the

From now on the rehearsaIs will come
thick and fast and special attention will
be given at the general rehearsals to de-
veloping the foot work and the business
of the chorus. Few people realize the
amount of time and work necessary to
perfect all the little movements and the
general business that are required OF a
chorus in a comic opera. This is one Of
the things that make a. production Of this
kind either a success or a f1zzle, and under
the able direction; of B. c. N. Holcomb
the boys are perfecting. a line Of work that
will be a. feature and will give the play

Has Been Done. 4
Hennepin Delegation Is Getting Its

The legislature rested to-day. Both
houses adjourned yesterday until Monday
at II a. m. Yesterdays session closed the
fourth week and to-day completed
twenty three legislative days out of the
ninety allowed by law. This means that
one quarter of the time has elapsed for
the session. The house has actually been
In session seventeen days, and the senate
sixteen.
Very little business has been ground
through the legislative hopper, but IFS
bills have been introduced in the house
al 113 in the senate. and there Is plenty
of work to engage the attention OF the
members next week. Tuesday the house
judiciary committee will endeavor to
reach an agreement on the taxation
amendment to the constitution. II this
can be done, it will be before the house in
committee of the whole by Thursday. The
Morley bill removing the educational In
situations from the jurisdiction Of the
board of control will be acted on during
the week by the house committee on
general legislation. and the senate come
mittee on education is likely to reach
consideration of the Buck bill.
j. Mr.. Haugland is responsible for getting
the franchise tax problem before the
house in his bill introduced yesterday. 1t
It promises to consume considerable Of the
time of the house, and there is a strong
sentim ent in favor of such legislation.
In the course Of the week a resolution
favoring the removal of the duty on lum
Der passed both houses. but the senate
distinguished itself yesterday by defeat
ing Senator Wilson's resolution favoring
reciprocity with Canada, thereby giving a
serious setback to the movement.

questions. and in the coming week the
house will pass the school bond bill, while
the bonds for the permanent improve
anent and revolving funds will be put
through both branches.

Minneapolis, the milling center of the
world, is threatened with a flower famine.
When local department stores laid in
their supply Of carnations Thursday in
anticipation Of the Mckinley day demand,
their buyers discovered that the supply
of carnations was comparatively small.
1t was then learned that many of the
not houses had been compelled to close
up, in part, at least, because Of the scare
ity of fuel. ~ ..-~- ....-.,
This meant, Of course, that the capacity
for producing carnations had diminished;
limited its output. The same thing is true
also of the other less expensive varieties
OF flowers, the comlnoner varieties ma
turally being the first to be abandoned,
The situation, from florists standpoint,
is somewhat peculiar. The rarer flowers,
chased at the usual prices and, although
there Is no apparent shortage at the pres
ent time, 1t is not at,all unlikely that the
cheaper flowers may shortly become
scarcer than their more aristocratic
neighbors. a.-al.- ..o...e. 49,.
Roses. lilies, violets and tulips require
great care and must have warmth, and
with the fuel market in its present con-

difficult.

M0RGAN'S TAKES
He Says They Are Legally Nothing,
=, but He Will Paw 100000.

New York, Jan. 31.-J Pierpont Nor
gan called at the tax department yester-
day to correct the assessment which the
Commissioners had made upon his per-
sonal property. The tentative assessment
made upon Mr.. Morgan this year was
100000. -. =. ii.
: TO Commissioner strasbourger Mr.. Nor
gan said that he did not own taxable
personal property to this amount. He
explained in reply to the questions Of the
commissioner that he owned no prop
erties-stocks, bonds or mortgages-that
were subject to personal taxation. Asked
II he, owned other property outside of
these securities, Mr.. Morgan replied:
Eyes, but their value is largely exceeded
by the Indebtedness against them I Dor
row a great deal of money-in fact mil
1ions-and that part Of my estate which
is taxable as personality is not SO large
as 1t appears In your books" =.
Mr.. Morgan said that he could not legal
ly be called upon to pay any personal
tax. But" he was reported as saying,
II don't want to be looked upon as a tax
dodger. I think that every man doing
a large volume Of business in this city
ought to pay something in personal taxa
ton"
Mr.. Morgan said he would be willing
to pay on the same amount that he did
last year-that is, $4o0, 00O-and added:
TN point Of actual fact, I cannot legal
because, as have stated, my investments
and holdings are worcestershire for per-
sona1 taxation. If I am required to make
an oath to this effect I will pay nothing,
but If you are willing to accept my per-
sonal statement I will pay on a 100000
assessment"
Mr.. Morgan's statement was accepted
Jacob H. Schiff was another who want
ed his assessment revised. He was ten
tatively assessed at 100000. Last year
he paid on 100000. He asked for a cor
rection upon grounds similar to those ad-
vanced by Mr.. Morgan. He was equally
generous in volunteering to contribute to
the city's Golfers, suggesting that though
he could not legally have been compelled
to pay personal tax, he be allowed to
pay on 100000, double the amount upon
which he paid last year.
+ George W. Vanderbilt, who was as
sessed at $1,000 900 asserted non-liability.
but consented to pay on $4,000. Last
year, although assessed at 100000, he
paid on only $4,000. John R.. Drexel,

mittee to Decide.
The house judiciary committee, which
Is supposed to exist to pass upon legal
problems, has decided a purely. business
proposition, in choosing between two pub
fishing houses which want to publish the
supreme court decisions. The committee
IS to decide whether the contract shall
be renewed with George P. Dufresne for
six years. with the price reduced from
$3.50 to $1.25 a volume, or whether it
shall be taken away from him and given
to the Keefe-Davidson company at the
still lower price Of $1.10. The natural
inclination is to favor the lowest bid
der, but as a matter of fact there were
no bids, and the successive cuts made
by the Keefe-Davidson company indicate
AN attempt to freeze out Dufresne who
came to the rescue of the bar Of the
state six years ago, and rescued the
ports from the state Of disuetude they
were then in. He brought them up to
date, and has kept them SO, as nearly as
copy would permit. The quality of the
work has improved over the sample, and
a guarantee for the future, which the bar
generally has respect for. There is a. less
sale for thte books in Minnesota than for
the reports of any of the surrounding
states, hence less profit in them, and it is
commended that $1.25 is the lowest price
for the work, if good quality is main
tanned. The house committee will take
the question up again next Thursday
The senate committee has approved the
Dufresne bill.

.......- .,..., /. >tablished.

New York, Jan. 31.-Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, minister plenipotentiary from
Germany to the United States, arrived
ON the Hamburg American steamship
Auguste Victoria yesterday. He said:
II was told at Southampton that the
Panther had fired on the FORTS but as for
the details Of the last ten days I know
nothing = z.sE -.
Concerning the kaiser's attitude
toward the main question and the Mon
roe doctrine, I can however, speak with
perfect assurance and emphasis. The
emperor has been much misunderstood.
'.He has no Interior motive whatever.
to seize territory in Venezuela as that
he wishes to colombo the moon. The
moment he grabs land his trade would
be lost. The situation would be the same
as II he grabbed a province in China.
Commerce would be destroyed and colon
ization without commerce means bank
ruptcy for the nation attempting it.
1.-THE Monroe doctrine is too firmly
established, I think, to admit OF much
discussion or dispute. President Roose-
welt has set it forth with great clearness
in his speeches and messages. It is a doc
trine devised for the purpose OF keeping
peace on the western continent.
