sta Is Fair cataloauo.

The State Fair Premium List has,
just been issued by Sec. E.. w. RAN
dali for the State Agricultural 3Socie-.
IL, being the first time in some years
that the society has pub ished its.
own list. Under old conditions the.
list has not been very satisfactory
and this year the: board Of managers
decided to. publish on their own ac-.
count, even if the expense was there
by increased. AS a result of this.
policy, Avery handsome book, has
been produced. ,.se.e., - I'D W.
The most notable thing; in. connec--
ton with the announcements of pre-.
miums and prizes is the fact that the
total offerings of the Minnesota State
Fair for. this year reach the enorm-
Gus sum Of $4,000, an amount not:
equalled by any other state fair in
the country. or any local fair or ex-
position anywhere. A. large part of.
this increase: is in. the agricultural
division of the fair; where through
additions of new classes and extra
premiums and the enlargement of old
offerings there is an increase of. some
$4,000. These divisions of the fair
have been carefully gone over and
the premium offerings brought thor
oughly up to date. -...
The amusement program: is very
strong and two of the standard ST.
600 races have been advanced this
year to the $2,5Oe class, which will
greatly increase the interest in track
events. In the opening announce
ment signed by President c. n. Co.'S
grove and Sec. E. w. Randall, it is
stated that evening amusements will
be a prominent part of this years
fair and that in every particular care
will be taken to make the amuse-
ment side of the fair a success.
Copies of the premium list may be
obtained by addressing Sec. E. W..

Organized under the state laws, it
was being looted. Everyone knew it
was being looted. Shares of it's stock
were sold on the auction block as low
as eight dollars. The state bank SUI
perintendent was notified, more than
once. His men wer e leisurely making
routine examination of big savings

ished did the examiners attack the lit
tie bank that was being looted. The
saddest part of the affair was that its
East side branch, managed by an ex-
alderman, was largely patronized' by
poor merchants of the Jewish district,
whose all was swept away.
The Globe company was even more

to Mr.. McClellan's hopes of political
preferment.
No one imagines that George Nc
Clellan has handled, or will handle. a
cent of the gas trusts money. But
there were powerful influences at work
upon him, claims of gratitude and fea,-
ty too strong to ignore. For instance:
BOSS" Murphy's brother is head of
the great company that had made a
contract to build the trusts new $15,-
100000 plant across the East river.
The profit will be at least ten per cent.
The trust, according to Mr.. Lincoln
Steffens, the special student of graft"
contributed lavishly in money and in
fuence to the success of the Mcclellan
cause last fall Finally, the Albany
lobby that passed the bill, corruptly, of
course, had close connections with
both the republican rural and the Tam
many local machines. For country
members frequently vote for rotten
legislation, undeterred by hint of local
Interpretation, so long as only the big
city is robbed.
The sensational revelations connect
ed with the arrest of Duke, the agent
of the ''grafters" in the police depart
ment, have given the mayors admin
istration another black eye, SO that it
has now difficulty in seeing much
prospect of future success.

CAR 10 PURCHASE VESSELS
Russia Has Eye on fleets OF
Chile and Argentine

London, Nov. 19.-The Japanese diplo-
matte representatives In Europe, at the
request Of Toxic, have made inquiries into
a report that Russia is acquiring a new
fleet from Chile and Argentine. The
Toxic government was recently informed
that Chile and Argentine had sold or op-
toned to Colombia six or seven war ves-
sells, which Colombia intended to turn
over to Russia.
Inquiries carried on here and In South
America by Japanese agents have ELECTED
an emphatical denial from both Chile ana
to have stated that they are anxious to
sell certain vessels, but not at the risk
of being heavily mulcted for breach OF
neutrality.
Despite the official denials which have
been transmitted to Toxic, more than
one Japanese diplomat in Europe Is ap-
prehens.ve that in some way or other
these half-dozen war vessels may shortly
pass under the control of Russia Jap
anese independent inquiries confirm the
published statement that an American
house is concerned In negotiations look
ing to such acquisition on the part of
Russia.
The efforts of Russia to stimulate ship
building within her territory, as detail
ed in the dispatch from st. Petersburg
last night. have been known to leading
firms for some time.
An agent of the Russian admiralty re-
Gently made an offer here to one of the
largest British shipbuildirg firms in which
he guaranteed a certain number of or
ders and form of subsidy If the firm
would open a navy yard on the Baltic.
The terms were unsatisfactory and the
offer was refused. A somewhat sim lar
suggestion is now under consideration by
the Vickers- Maxim Company, but II is
not likely to be accepted.
