That Race To BLACK Hills.

st. Paul Globe The race between
the Milwaukee and the Northwestern to
see which will be able to get first to the
| Black Hills is in an acute stage. The
Milwaukee has whole train loads of
bridge material waiting on the east bank
of the Missouri river at Chamberlain
ready when permission is granted to
shoot a temporary bridge across the
stream and start for the Hills with the
grading. The city council at Chamber
lain granted this permission at the last
meeting and the road now only waits
for the expiration Of the statutory time
in which the ordinance and franchise
might be reconsidered before commenc-
ing work.
At Pierre the Northwestern is equally
active, and reports reached 1t. Paul yes
terday that the grade level has been de-
cided upon and work on the line to con-
meet Pierre with the old grade which
was built up the Cheyenne river is all
in very fair shape, which gives the
Northwestern a slight advantage over
the Milwaukee st the start. The com
pleted grade ie fifty miles long, which
leaves gap of about 1876 miles to be
graded The last twenty miles into the
Hills is through a rougher country, and
while the Northwestern will have a good
start it is thought that the Milwaukee's
grade can be constructed so much quick
er that the finish Of the race will be very
close.
The building Of the two roads will be
Of great Importance to the Twin cities,
as they will place considerable amount
of grain growing and cattle raising terri.
tory in such close touch with st. Paul
that lnnch grain and beef will be moved
through the northern gateway that Low
is not shipped this way.

Ing Of the board OF trustees OF the Mutual

terday, at which a preliminary report OF
the recently appointed special investiga-

Richard A. McCurdy caused a stir by an
nouncing that at his own request his
salary had been cut I'm hal. from $3.50, 900
to s75, 900 a year.
This action was taken at a meeting

the expenses Of the company. Salaries OF
the other executive officers OF the com
pany also have been reduced, the saving
amounting in all to between S145, 900 and
$3.50, 900 per annum
Mr.. McCurdy's statement TO the direc-
tors preceded the submission OF the in
vssilgating committees first report. This
commattee. which was named to examine
into the affairs OF the company. made a
significant request for a broadening Of
it's powers and recommended changes in
practices by the company, which on
their very face are loose. unsound and
open TO criticism"
The committee recommended that pend
ing Its further inquiry the executive Of
ficers adopt Immediately a policy of re-
trenchment.
The preliminary report was adopted to-
gether with the resolution increasing the
powers Of the commission In continuing
its Investigations. The directors ordered
that fun publicity be given 10 the report
az well as 10 the statement made by
President McCurdy.
President McCurdy In his address TO
the trustees outlined a policy OF retrench-
ment the executive officers had decided
upon. He declared he did not know what
was contained I'm the report OF the spe-
cial investigating committee. and he did
not desire TO forestall anything the com
mittee might do. for he would abide by
It's decision.
Mr., McCurdy said that during the 45
years he had been In the service OF the
Mutual the company had grown until II
stands unrivalled for the magnitude Of
its assets.
Whatever criticism may have been
made Of features OF its administration,
he declared the fact remains that no
pollcyholder OF the company need ever
entertain the shadow OF n doubt that his
policy. with all accretions. will be paid
in full when due. Mr.. McCurdy said the
merit in the company's upbullding was
not his alone. All the officers had labored
together.

Choose tn Re Slaves.

A rather remarkable state of affairs has developed in two islands. Zanzibar and Pemba. off the African coast, as the result of a Government decree abolish ing slavery. Despite the fact that any slave can now obtain his freedom for the asking, and that they all know 1t, very few have as yet applied for lib- erty. The reason for this is. according to MT. J. T. Last, Zanzibar official that the slaves have discovered free- dom to be anything but bed of roses. They have learned that they lose more than they gain by leaving their owners: "The slaves of the present day. writes Mir. Last. who Is practically free per. son. and has all the legal privileges or free person. is in much the same po- sition as an ordinary servant at home.
 He is in some respects in a better position than the European ser want. for he can practically. do as little work as he pleases. and he Is at liberty to leave his owner whenever he thinks fit I am strongly or opnlon that the number of slaves who Will ap- ply to be freed by the Zanzibar Govern ment in the future will be very small and in the case of those that do so it will be the result of some pique, dispute or jealousy rather than from love oi freedom for itself"
