nearly all the important car
riers Of freight in his own
hands. For this purpose he
has spent considerable time
and energy and has at last
succeeded. He at first secured
the agency of the Dunleith
Packet line of river steamers.
Then one by one he has had
the Chicago & Northwestern,
the Milwaukee & Prairie du
Chen and the Illinois Central
agencies placed under his con-
troll at this point. He also
settles all claims at once, do
ing away with the old system
of red tapeism, which caused
great delay and expense to
shipper and receiver. The
business public is considerably
indebted to Mr.. Hill for thus
reducing to a minimum not
only the rates, but the annoy
ances in transacting business.

his suit against Mrs. Elizabeth
Davis of Cambria, which was tried
in the district court at Mankato last

the defendant paid $25 in cash and
traded in horse that had the blind

Mrs. Hornburg at the time of the
trade that the animal was perfectly

of negotiating with Japan at this time
It was sugg ssted tonight that the fail
ure to receive any adviceS from st
Petersburg regarding the attitude Of
the emperor was on reason why Count
Cassini had deferred his call at the
White house.
The whole situation was thoroughly
discussed in an informal way by Count
Cassini with his warm personal friend,
Baron Sp5ck Won Sternburg, the Ger
man ambassador. who dined at the
Russian embassy tonight after having
had conference with the president
earlier in the day. Indicative of the
importance of the two conferences OF
the German ambassa dor was the state
meut from the Russian ambassador
late tonight that he hoped to see the
president within the n xt twenty-fOUT
hours.
Meanwhile it can be STATED on the

government is biding its time belieV-
ing that Russia must be given time
to fully realize the crushing character
Of her d=feat before she will be willing
to consider the advisa biIity Of aban-
dOning her determination to continue
