NELSON AWAITS
OFFICIAL FIGURES
Senator Cannot Defend Minnesota
Grain Inspection Without
Certified Figures.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington,
Washington, April 12.-Strange to
say, Senator Nelson has no word from
the Minneapolis grain and elevator
men in response to his request that
they furnish him with official data,
properly certified, on which he might
base a reply to Senator McCumber's
speech denouncing the Minnesota sys-
TEN OF grain inspection.
After Mr.. McCumber had delivered
his speech. the Minneapolis and Du-
luth grain and elevator men became
greatly excited and sent all kinds of
messages by wire and mail to the
Minnesota senators, saying the Nc
Cumber speech was predicated on
| false statements and praying that the
Minnesota senator's would reply to it
| and set the matter straight.
Senator Nelson took the matter up
| by special request, and the first thing
| he d1d-and this was couple OF
weeks ago-was to ask Minneapolis
and Duluth grain interests to send
him duly certified copies of official
inspection records at Minneapolis
Duluth and Superior.
Duluth has responded, but the fig
ures and reports sent are not GER
| titled as official, and therefore are
AAA~~N>
the first. and the loudest complaint
has made no reply whatever. Unit
official data arrives, of course, Sena.
tor Nelson cannot reply to the Me.
Cumber speech. And there you are
The Superior data on which Mr.
McCumber's speech largely was based
were secured several years ago at 6
time when certain interests at Su.
perior were working a system of Wis
consin state grain inspection to take
| the place of the Minnesota system
| which is extended across the state
lines and in full force at Superior.
These data We're taken to Madison
and shown to the legislature, which
threw them out and refused to pass {
state inspection bill Now Senator
McCumber makes them the foundation
of q vicious assault on the Minnesota
system of inspection.
It is believed here that certified
copies of official reports by the Min
nesota chief inspector at Duluth, Min
neapolis and Superior will form com
plete answer to Mr.. McCumber, ant
it is a little hard to understand VIII!
the grain and elevator interests, which
howled so loudly, are so slow in for
warding the reports. ,.e>

CHINESE RESENT
EXCLUSION LAWS
Minister of Celestial Empire Lays
Formal Complaint Against
Officials.

Washington, April 12.-sir Chen
Tung LANG Cheng, the Chinese min
lister, has filed formal protest with
the state department regarding the
harsh manner in which it is alleged
the Chinese exclusion laws operate
against Chinese merchants who have
business in this country and at the
st. Louis fair.
Grave diplomatic complications are
feared. The situation is considered
delicate if not serious, because of the
war in the far east, which embarrasses
all the diplomacy of the orient, and
because the whole Chinese exclusion
question is to come up for another So
luton, since the period covered by the
existing treaty soon will expire.
The incidents cited by the protests
are said to refer to two parties OF
prominent Cinnamon, bound for the
worlds fair
They allege they were subjected tt
humiliating treatment at San Fran.
cisco, where they were held by the
customs officials for two days, despite
the fact that they had sufficient money
with them to justify statements tina
they were reputable citizens Of China
and not paupers.

BELL PHONES MAY
HAVE BEST SHOW
Senator Clapp's Amendment to
Postofice Bill Considered
as Victory.
iDr CHI

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, April 12.-Friends Of
the Twin City Telephone company
who have given careful consideration
to Senator Clapp's telephone amend
ment to the postoffice appropriation
bill to-day express the opinion that
the Bell company has won a decisive
victory. s.lr..t
The amendment provides that the
contract for telephone service in post
offices shall be awarded "only to the
company proposing to furnish the best
service at the lowest rate of compen-
sation." The saving clause, "best
SERVICE" will, so it is said, give Post
master General Payne and First. AS
sistant Wynne absolute power to say
which is the :'best'' service. Those
who want to see an open and free COM
rule that the Bell company has the
best equipment, better instruments,
etc.
Figuring on the political affiliations
of Messrs. Payne and Wynne, critics
point out that Mr.. Wynne, who is in
direct charge Of the installation Of
telephone conVeniences, was backed
for appointment by Senator Lodge and
that the headquarters of the Bell
fore the Bell company will not get the
worst Of it in any matter in which
the department has discretion under
this amendment.
House conferees will certainly
agree to the amendment, as Chair
man Overstreet of the postoffice COM
mittee advocated a similar provision
when the Tawney amendment was
being considered.

Besides being rid of the suits. in one
of which Judge Dunno of Chicago
had issued an order compelling the
books of the company to be sub
mitted and disclosure of the terms of
the reorganization, the defendants
practically have removed opposition
to the proposed bond issue of $685.
| 900, 600.
Thru the First National bank the
proprietors Of the Rock Island sys-
tenn have negotiated a loan of $6,000,-

of this borrowing, it was explained

ton against the court. He said q very
grave question is presented as to
whether it is the striking miners or
the governor Of Colorado and the ma
tional guard that are engaged in in
surrection and rebellion against the
laws Of the state.
From Telluride word has been re-
ceived that when informed of Judge
Stevens order, General Bell said:
IF Sheriff Corbett takes us to Ou-
ray it will have to be over the dead
bodies Of all the soldiers under my
command in this county. He has not
got men enough 10 90 e.. Inc STU

In all probability, an original appli

Persons living on the banks are
beginning to watch the waters with
anxiety and are fearing there may be
a repetition of the floods Of 1882. The
large Canadian Pacific railway bridge
west of Oxbow, crossing Moose creek,
was swept away and two smaller
bridges have also gone. No trains are
running over the Canadian Pacific be-
tween Oxbow and Alameda. A big
washout is also reported two miles
west of Oxbow, and consequently the
Canadian Pacific line from Waskada
to Lyleton is not being operated. e..
At Portage la Prairie the water in
the Assiniboine has risen ten feet in
twenty-four hours, and still continues
to rise. The ice Is solid and men are
busy blowing it up with dynamite.
The Indians on the reserve are moving
out, as they fear a repetition Of the
flood of two years ago.
A gang of town employees have
been at work since Saturday morning

COSTS FALL ON RAILROADS
For Merger Fight in Federal Courts
Case in District Court.

M. D. Mum, associate counsel for
the state in the Northern Securities
case, says that the defendant compa-
MES will have to pay the costs Of the
suit while it was in the federal courts,
as the decision of Judge Lochren in
favor of the merger companies was
reversed by the supreme court.
The case having been remanded to
the Ramsey county district court, it
is up to the new attorney general, w.
J. Donahower, to decide what action
shall be taken. The main point at
issue has already been decided in the
government case, but it is desirable
to test the state law prohibiting the
consolidation of parallel and compet-
ing lines. 1t is likely that the suit
will be carried on.
