San Francisco, May 21.-A daring
attempt to rob the stamp safe at the
postoffice at an early hour this morn

tory to blowing it open. The burglars
took alarm and escaped with $1,4OO

had been in the act of drilling hole

their drill had penetrated about three
quarters of an inch. The safe con-
tanned some $4,000 in stamps and
considerable money.

Borueaux, May 21.-Judge Albion

American consul here, died today OF

an old wound, aged 67 years. Judge
Tourgee was taken seriously ill sew

the party through the presidents ac-
ton as to purchases for the Panama
canal. He called first on Mr.. Roose-
welt.
The president turned him over to
Mr.. Taft after explaining that he
had no desire to stir up disastrous
internal dissensions, but he thought it
was time to do something. Mr.. Taft
said the same thing, adding that if
congress was afraid to assume re-
sponsibility he was not. He said
congress had twice refused to speak
out in favor of American concerns,
once when the question had been fat
ly presented, and drew on the war
department records to prove his state
ment.
Appeals to Congress Unheeded.
On May 21, 1902, Secretary Root
wrote the house committee on mill
tary affairs, warmly indorsing bill
authorizing a preference to American
ships in the Philippine trade when
their charges were not more than 10
per cent greater than those of foreign
vessels. The bill was favorably re-
ported, but according to Mr. Roots
Endorsement twas defeated on the
floor Of the house on the avowed
ground that it would amount to a
government shipping subsidy"
| At the last session congress also
refused to indicate a preference for
American concerns, though it was
known that millions of dollars worth
Of canal supplies would soon be
needed.
Taft Scores Congress.
Mr.. Taft said, with some warmth,
that if this double negative action
meant anything it was that American
firms were not to be favored at a
financial sacrifice.
Mr. Cannon admitted the inaction
of congress, but in extenuation plead.
ed campaign necessities and other
considerations. He said now that the
subject had been brought right to the
front there was no doubt that con
gress would speak plainly in favor OF
American manufacturers, and he
pleaded that it be given another
chance as a matter of urgent party
expediency. He promised that if his
wishes were acceeded to he would see
that the question was brought up as
soon as congress meets in October
and promptly settled.
Action at Cabinet Meeting.
Mr.. Cannon's arguments, which
were SO forceful that they amounted
to a demand, were presented at the
cabinet meeting by Taft, and it was
decided to amend the program to com
ply with the speakers desires. Mr.
Cannon was jubilant when he was
told of the decision.
One result of the new arrangement
will be to put new life into the move
ment for a ship subsidy. 1ne advo
Gates of that measure are already lin
ing up their forces and are confiden
of success, for, they argue, if congress
directs that American manufacturers
be favored in the purchase of cana
supplies, it cannot refuse to favol
American shipowners.

RAILROAD HOPES.

Information cleaned from dis
patches the first part of the week
goes to show that the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad has de
cided to issue some $4,000, 600
in stock for the purpose OF rail
road extension. This informi-
ton comes from New York, where
all such deals are contaminated,
and where the stock will be
placed through the heads of the
financial system of the country.
If d part of this sum is not eN
pended in railroad extension in
South Dakota, and more particu-
larly in building a line west from
Pierre across the state to the
Black Hills, then we will have to
believe it will be expended mainly
IN vain
fFhe Northwestern is one of the
two great railroad corporations
that has done more than ony other
agency to develop this state. Its
system covers a good part OF
South Dakota east Of the Missouri
river, and has entered the Black
Hills from another state. Now
it lis time for it to take up the
good worn Of development it COM
menced some twenty five years
ago, BY entering the virgin coun.
try west of the river, us the Mil
waukee road is now doing, and
help make South Dakota all it
should be.
The people Of this state regard
the statement Of this large issue
Of stocks by the Northwestern as
pretty conclusive proof that the
company means to do something
to relieve the ,nprogressive con
gdition that has maintained in
South Dakota for years past, SIM
