POPULISTS THINK THEY
CAN DO SOMETHING
Executive Committeeman Confer With
Dissatisfied Bryan Democrats

ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 11-After
three conferences held Saturday night
by members of the executive commit
tee of the Peoples party with promi-
nent Bryan Democrats, who are dis
satisfied, not so much with the plat
form as with the presidential nominee
of the Democratic party, it has been
decided to call a meeting within thirty
days to outline plan of action dur
ing the campaign. This statement is
given on the authority of George w.
Washburn. national chairman of the
Peoples party committee. Mr.. Wash
burn declined to divulge the names of
some of his associates in the commit
tee. The results, he said would be
made public when the call for the ma
tional convention is issued A num-
Der of those present in the confer
ence, Mr.. Washburn stated, were Mis-
sourians, while others were from Par
ker's own state.
Commenting on Judge Parker's
nomination, Mr.. Washburn said:
Next to Cleveland the Populists de-
sired the nomination of Parker. His
nomination emphasizes the parting of
the ways of the allied parties and will
help immensely to restore the Popu-
list party to its effective strength and
popularity"

Meant Nothing But Something

BERLIN, July 1.-THE semi official
newspapers deny that any political
character attaches to the telegram
sent by Emperor William to the col
onel of the Wiborg Q'inland) regi-
ment, of which the emperor is hon
orary chief congratulating
the regiment on the prospect of meet
ing the Japanese, etc. The papers re-
cali similar message sent by the en-
peror to regiment of British dra-
goons, of which he was honorary COL
onel, before it's departure for South
Africa during the Boer war, and point
to the fact that his majesty, at the
spring parade at Potsdam, expressed
to the japanese military attache his
admiration for the bravery of the Jap
anese troops.
They say that the message was
purely a courtly and military one
from soldiers point of view that the
greatest honor a regiment can have
is to be sent to the front The con-
Guiding prayer was merely for the
welfare of the Wiborg soldiers and the
expression Of desire that they should
add to their laurels as a regiment
The deduction from the message by
section of the st. Petersburg public,
these papers say, that the emperor's
telegram presages a German alliance,
cannot be shared by the Russian gov
eminent, which we'll knows that this
would be no advantage, since Russia
has more troops than she can forward
to or employ at the seat of war, and
they point out that breach of neu-
trality on the part of Germany would
give the signal for universal war.
The opposition papers content them
selves by saying that the zeal of the
semi official press doubtless is due to
the impression created by the en-
peror's telegram declaring that Rus
sian mourning would be German
mourning.

Judge Finehout in the municipal

In the meantime the Japanese cavalry
on the extreme west tried to creep around
the shore of the Gulf of Liaotung. but our
batteries headed off the cavalrymen and

to find themselves unopposed and greeted
only by the smoke of the warehouses

CENTRAL SOLD AGAIN
Reports Say Milwaukee Has
Acquired Wisconsin Line

Within sixty days the Milwaukee,
Will take over the Wisconsin Central
system, according to advices received
III 81. RAUL The line has already been
acquired by the big railway the report
says ana there now remains nothing
" pe uone except the formal transfer.
for several weeks past there have
oeen constant rumors of the purchase
vi the Wisconsin Central by the Mil

nave arisen. they have been emphatic

the wisconsin road. But in spite of
THESE den1als the rumors continue to

solile evidence to support it's asser-
tons.
''The Central is sold to the Milwau-
kee, positively declared Chicago
railroad official, who was in the city.
How do [ know? Well, it's Just this
way. The big shops of the Central at
North Fond du Lac have been closed
down and the machinery is now being
transferred to the Milwaukee's shops
at West Milwaukee. This certainly
looks significant.
The machininsts at Fond du Lac
are moving to Milwaukee, where they
are being employed by the Milwaukee.
whenever vacancies occur. Those who
nave been discharged by the Central
have been told that before long there
Will be work for them in Milwaukee.
Another matter that makes the
story of the sale of the Central appear
correct is the action of the stockhold-
ers in allowing the voting trust to ex-
pre- about two weeks ago. If the road
were to remain an independent line
that voting trust would have been con-
tinued.
But the purchase of the Wisconsin
Central by the Milwaukee is in reality
no sale at all The both roads are con-
trolled by Rockefeller and the transfer
of the Central only means that the lines
will hereafter be operated as one sys-
tenn"
If the rumor of the transfer of the
Wisconsin Central is so, the Milwau-
kee gains access to some of the best
cities and towns in Wisconsin. The
Central strikes, Eau Claire, Chippewa
Falls, Ashland, Oshkosh. Fond du Lac
and Neenah. 1t is likely that if the
Milwaukee takes over the property the
rOadbed will be greatly improved.

Welded BUT RECORDS
FURNISH NO PROOF
Neglect of Ministers to Make Returns
Embafrasses 80 Married Couples

Unbusinesslike methods Of many
Minneapolis ministers have put the
marriage license records of the clerk
of the district court in q muddled con-
dition, and some ninety couples in the
city who believe themselves to be
married are in an embarrassing posi-
ton due to the failure of the minis
tiers to make the returns on marriage
licenses.
When a minister performs a mar
riage ceremony he is required by law
to make a return to the clerk of the
district court on a form made out on
the license. When the form is prop
erly made out the court makes a
record of the marriage and such rec
ord is the only positive proof of it.
During the past six months ninety
returns were either not made or they
were made out enormously, in many
cases the ministers failing to sign
them. The clerk will give deputy q
week off in which to visit the various
ministers and fix the returns as pre-
scribed by law.

ASSESSED VALUATION

nuat Thirty Day Session


The board of equalization met yes
terday with the following men sworn
in: Aid. Sam E. Adams, e. c. Chat
field, Charles B. Holmes, G. A. West
phal and A. S Adams.
From figures already compiled by
City Assessor c. J. Minor it is esti-
mated that the assessed valuation of
Minneapolis will be increased by about
$5,000,000, raising the value of all tax
able property in the city in the neigh
borhood of $134,00O,0O0.
Assessor Minor said yesterday morn
ing that the personal property would
in all probability run from $4,000, 200
to $5,000,008 higher than last year and
that there would be a small increase
in real estate. There has been con-
siderable reduction in real estate which
has been excessively taxed in previous
years, but the decrease will more than
offset by the new buildings which. for
taxation, are valued at about $4,000, 900.

OF the Russian retirement from Kali
chou, which is hailed as a great vic
tory at Tokyo, show, according to the
official report of Lieut.. Gen. Sakharoff
commander of the eastern army. that
1t was little more than series of
skirmishes. The Russian losses were
about 200 men. The Tokyo report that
guns We're captured is 1unfounded. The
Russians retired in perfect order be-
fore Gen. Oku's army, consisting of
four divisions.
STAFF Captain Count Nerod, who was
killed, was brother of the midshin-
man of that name who was killed at
the time of the sinking of the Russian
protected cruiser Variag off Chemulpo.

Capt. Nerod was in command Of the
rear guard. which is the post of honor.
A Russian officer occupying this post
must be behind his men, and it was
while following the troops that Nerod
met his death.
Gen. Oku's advance continues. His
main force, which the general staff be-
lieves to be almost $4,000 strong. was
yesterday about five miles north Of
Kai-chou. The skirmishers were three
miles further north. The Japanese
cavalry is proceeding to New-chwang
and a heavy force of Japanese is con-
verging upon STA Doamaf, half way

At about noon July 9 a Japanese
force of six companies of infantry and
two guns was observed marching
southwark from the Black mountains,
