The members of the Postoff1ce Clerks

to have the convention act in favor of
the mandatory graded scale of wages
This provides that all clerks shall be
given an increase of 500 a year until
they reach the maximum of $1,000. in
stead of being compelled to depend
for the increase on recommendations
and the action of the national postoffice

Should the discriminating duty plan

UNCLE SAM NOT IN IT
Government Not Likely to Fight
Standard Oil Trust

w. A. Day, assistant to the attorney
general of the United States, said last
night at the Ryan hotel that he did
not believe that the general govern
ment would participate in the suit
brought to dissolve the Standard Oil
trust.
MI. Day is Ell route to Alaska, and
Is accompanied by H. 3. Mcdonald,
also, of Washington, d. c. They leave
this morning via the Northern Pacific
for Vancouver, and thence go to
Skaguay, thence by the White Horse
pass and down the Yukon river to St
Michaels and Nome. The object of
Days trip into the Alaskan country is
to investigate certain Irregularities
which have been charged against court
commissioners and deputy United
States marshals in the far North and
to bring the offenders to justice.
Speaking for Assistant Attorney
General Day, who retired early last
evening to his room, Mr.. Mcdonald
said that Mr.. Day had received no of
fetal information of the suit against
the Standard Oil corporation, but he
was quite certain that the department
would not interfere in the suit COM
menced at Trenton, N. J., on Monday.
IN which the legality of the trust was
attacked and a receiver was asked
for it.

Ing in the city and specifying. the
amount that should be paid by the
street railway company, was passed
by both bodies of the city council
June 8, and is in force 1t also re-
qulres that the engineer report to the
council the amount that is now due
rom the street railway company for
past work, thus giving the members
OF the council an opportunity to do A
little figuring on their own account
Under the charter provisions, and
according to a special agreement with
the company the street railway people
are to pay for cleaning the space on
the streets occupied by their tracks
and for two feet on each side of the
tracks. A great proportion of the
tracks is on asphalt streets, which are
swept by hand, and it is believed by
those who have figured out the cost
that il the company pays it's just pro
portion the charge against it will be
more than $500 a week, and that
therefore the claim against the COM
pany at the present time for street
cleaning, exclusive of the removal of
snow, should be more than $4,000, for
the present season and UP to June /.
This is a question that will be
fought out when the engineer is COM

council and report monthly just what
is charged to the company. 1t is found
difficult to keep close track of the sit

WILL ASK FOR NEW

Representative Stevens to Urqe
Gen. Chaffee TO Secure Its
Construction

When Gen. Adna r. Chaffee andsGen.
Charles +. Humphrey inspect Fort
Smelling during their coming visit to
st. Paul, their attention will be called
to the condition of the bridge between
the reservation and St Paul, and they
will be urged to recommend a new
structure in place of it.
''The old bridge is inadequate for the
needs of the post" said Representative
f. c. Stevens yeterday, land will ask
Gen. Chaffee to take steps to have a
better one erected in it's place The
government should, as military
measure, provide a more suitable APP
preach to the reservation from the ST.
Paul side and the city should be re-
lieved of the care of it,
The city now owns and maintains
the bridge, but legislation may be Sc
cured to take it from the city, have a
new bridge built by the war depart
ment and have it directly under the
supervision of the government engi-
neers.
The bridge which the present struc-
ture replaced was built by the county
of Ramsey and the government jointly
and each had charge of it's mainte-
nance. When the old bridge was re-
moved and the present one erected the
city assumed the expense and control.
1t seems. however, that the govern
ment should own the bridge
"A substantial structure capable of
standing any weight should be built
across the river at Fort Smelling. The
war department might consent to have
street cars cross part of the reserva-
ton if a circuit could be established
between st. Paul and Minneapolis, but
will not consent to having a line built
into the interior of the post. With a

THE legislation sought by Eastern
shipping interests for the purpose Of
aiding the merchant marine would Sc
riOusly injure the business of the
Northwest" said Representative F. C.
Stevens at a meeting of the board
of directors of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday afternoon.
They have proposed two plans
which are being considered by the
committee on merchant marine which
is now making Investigations through
out the country. One is a general sub
sidy, which is out of the question, and
the other is discriminating duties
THE interests of the Northwest will
suffer tremendous loss if the discrim-
mating duty plan is adopted. The idea
proposed by the shipping interests is
to add to the duties on all goods car
ried to our ports in foreign vessels and
to deduct from the duties on goods en-
tered from domestic vessels. This plan
has been agitated so much in the East
that the Republican party has favored
it, and leading, Democrats have also
been friendly to it.
Says Northwest Would Suffer
eff that plan were put into opera
ton it would abrogate about thirty
commercial treaties, and foreign coun-
tries would Immediately retaliate. The
Northwest would suffer most because
England would make concessions to
Canada which would make American
competition impossible Canadian
wheat and cattle would be given such
advantages in England that the prod
ucts of the Northwest would be. prac-
tically shut out much to the disadvan-
tage of this section of the country. for
England is one Of our best customers

J. NJ. Young. foreman for the Omaha

more nearly than most people the
number of drinks it is possible for 4
lusty man to consume within the space
of one year and seven months, this
knowledge having been acquired yes
terday in the court of James L. John
son, justice Of the peace.
In a suit brought by AXel landmark
a salOOnkeeper, who had garnisheed
YOung'S wages, in which a balance of
$500 was claimed, an itemized bill
was demanded by F. L. McGhee, the
attorney for the defendant. When the
demand was complied with it was
found that the various items, when
pasted together, measured almost
twelve feet in length
On it was noted the various decOc-
lions that had been consumed by Mr.
Young during the nineteen months, to-
gether with the different payments
during the period. At times he had
liquidated for the drinks, and at others
was somewhat in arrears for .'whiS-
kies straight cocktails plain" and
was particularly SO at periods when
there appeared several entries, such as
bought for the house, $2.15." Some
cigars had been purchased, and on
several occasions MI Young was
charged with having borrowed money
During the entire period there were
but a few days in which Mr.. Young
had not patronized the bar, according
to the formidable itemized statement,
and on some days there were numerous
calls the libatiOns being of various
kinds and charged for at varying
prices. When the suit was brought M

but when the itemized bill appeared in

taken and the parties left the court to-
gether for the purpose of reaching, if
possible, an equitable settlement of

Bros Circus

Chat a tiny Shetland pony only one
month old, was missing when the circus
train was ready to pull out of st. Paul

nowhere. though a systematic search was
made of the wagons and cars which had
remained during the day in the railroad
yards at the foot of Eagle street
The police We're notified, but no trace
of the missing pony was discovered last
night. 1t is thought that some time dur
ing the day or last night the pony was
taken from its car. No one had been
seen carrying the animal away but it is
thought that some of the numerous boys
who visited the train yesterday stole it.
Chat was born at Chatham, Ontario
