It would seem incredible that Russians
In their forts at Port Arthur should train
their guns upon their own vessels, but a
press dispatch supposed to be reliable is
to the effect that three torpedo boats
have been thus added to Russian naval
casualties. They were mistaken Tor
Japanese vessels.

The Lincoln Club, Portland, is in the
habit of observing the birthday of Its
illustrious namesske, the immortal
Abraham Lincoln. This year banquet
was held by the club and speeches were
made by Congressman A. P. Gardner OF
Massachusetts, Amos L. Allen OF Maine
and others. The Massachusetts Cor
gresham announces the probable plat.

Republican party, said he. will maintain
its position on the canal question, ur-
holding the aggressive attitude Of Presi-

break down the tariff walls except along
the lines of the form of reciprocity urg-
ed by James G.. Blaine, and will stand
fast on its record as custodians of the
government for the greater part of the
past 40 years. This is not a bad plat
form with the proper amount Of filling
In with other good platform timber, and
one that Roosevelt can and will win on.

The Naval Affairs Committee OF the
House, which made its report through
Chairman Foss on Thursday OF last
week, recommends the construction OF
more than the usual number Of cruisers
In view of the fact that last years pre-
vision WAS made for five large battle
ships. This will give better proper
ton to our navy. The report states that
to complete all the ships authorized up
to the present time, including their cor
struction and machinery, armor and
armament and equipment, will cost $82,-
7l8,059. 1t is stated that the greatest
naval problem of the day is the training
of men for the navy-an increase of
5000 men is provided for and training
station on the Great Lakes recommend
ed. The Importance Of powerful navy
for any world power is becoming more
apparent every year. The recent events
in the Yellow Sea emphasize this fact.

WHIPPED THE TRAINMASTER.
Conductor Gets Even With Railway
Official for Playing Detective.

Owing to the fact that there have
been number of railroad wrecks over
the country the past few months the
new assistant superintendent and new
trainmaster on the Northwestern di-
vision through Lamberton, endeavored to
do little detective work of their own
in hopes of teaching the trainmen on
this division to be more careful in run
ming by switch signals.
We are reliably informed that the
said railway officials stopped off at New
Ulm one evening recently and hired a
livery rig at that place and drove to Mil
ford, the sidetrack just west of that
city, and just after dark, shortly be-
fore freight train came along going
east, they removed the switch lights at
the siding to see what the train men
would do. The train did not stop but
when they got to New Ulm the conduc-
IOT TepOTIeu Tile ulSSlHS iSuIS puo Cuc
crew got lacked up for not stopping and
investigating why the said lights were
out. The crew informed some of the
other train boys so the next evening
when another got near the siding they
noticed that the lights disappeared. The
train was stopped and search was
made to find out if possible the cause of
the lights going out. The conductor, a
husky fellow, spied man near by in
field and took after him and was in
the act of giving him thorough drub-
bling when the fellow who was getting
the licking said: "Hold on, do you know
that you have hold of the trainmanster
of this road?" The conductor replied:
81 don't give a d-n if you are the
trainmaster you deserve good thump-
ing and I am going to give you one,
because anyone who will do as mean
trick as that deserves to be punished,
and he went on with his threshing. We
haven't yet heard whether the conduc-
tor was fired or Observation-Disclosures

A BARGAIN FOR FARMERS.

The New-York Tribune Farmer, ma
tional illustrated agricultural weekly of
twenty large pages, has no superior as a
thoroughly practical and helpful publ
cation for the farmer and every member

equalled by any paper of its class in the
United States.
Knowing that every enterprising, up
to-date farmer always reads his own
local weekly newspaper, The New York
Tribune Farmer has made an exceeding
ly liberal arrangement which enables us
to offer the two papers at so low price
that no farmer can afford to lose the OPP
portunity.

HIGHER RATE FOR SHORT HAUL
Fresh Evidences of Railroads Dis
elimination Against Mankato.
From SATURDAYS Daily.


Fresh evidence of discrimination
against Mankato and other small cities
on the part of the railroads in favor of
the twin cities are continually coming
to light. The LOTUS Hubbard Eleva-
tor company of the twin cities caused a
carload of hay to be shipped from Ew-
ing, Neb., and billed for st. Paul. While
the hay was on it's way, however, it was
reconsigned to Mankato, ninety six miles
less in distance from Ewing than is st.
Paul. Here it was placed by the ele-
vator company in the hands of George
Atchison, who had found a purchaser.
When Mr.. Atchison went to pay the
freight rate he found it far more than
what he had expected. He telephoned to
the elevator company's office and was
told that the railroad company had alb
solutely refused to let the hay off at
Mankato at the same rate at which it
was billed to st. Paul, although the
distance it had to be hauled was actual
ly shortened by the reconsignment. The
company had to take the hay through
Mankato on the way to st. Paul, yet
three cents per hundred pounds in addi
ton was demanded and had to be paid
in order to get the hay unloaded at Man
kato. 1t made a difference of over $40
on the entire car. Here is proposition
for the board Of trade and the Man
kato Business Mems association.

STATES REVENUE FUND.
Its Condition Is More Satisfactory
Than It Has Been.
From nIOudav,e DaiJv

From Mondays Daily.
For the first time in several months
the states revenue fund has its head
out of water. Collections from various
sources during February have amount
ed to more than million dollars and
the fund, which on Feb. ! was over
drawn more than 100000, is now $780,
600 to the good and outstanding war
rants drawn on the fund and which
bearing per cent interest, have been
redeemed and 1891 900 has ben paid out
during the current month.
The revenue fund is the single fund
which the fiscal officers of the state
are Permitted to overdraw, the limit be-
ing 100000. Not since Oct. 10 has
the revenue fund been on the right
side of the ledger, and the fact that it
now has a balance is due to the I'M
usually large collections during the
month.
Receipts from the gross earnings
tax on railroads are responsible for its
present plethoric condition. The sum
of $l46,5OO was received Saturday from
Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroad
and ST. ,O96 was paid in by the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Sault Ste. Marie railway.
On the other days during the month the
state treasury was increased by substan-
tial payments from the railroads until
during the month more than 100000
was paid in and the revenue fund again
represented something other than de-
felt.
