The international Harvester Com

the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
for 25, 600 tons of pig iron, the price
being about Sl3 a ton at Birmingham.
That will make good many harveS-
terS and other farm machines which
will cost the farmers Of the United
States at least 20 per cent more than
it should through tariff protection OF
the trust. Paragraph AGO OF the
tariff law provides that:

This trust is said to be selling its
products cheaper abroad than here
and our farmers have to pay high
prices for the benefit of the trust and
the foreigners.

MARTEAU THE KIND HEART
Famous Violinist Soothed Dying Mo.
ments Of a Street Wait.

The coming Of Henri Marteau, the
eminent French violinist, to this city,
to appear in recital at Plymouth church
next Tuesday evening recalls how ia
nous musicians respond to the calls of
humanity. It was at Rheims, where
the young ~virtuoso was playing in con-
cert. AS he was about to leave the hall
him that a little street waif lay dying
at one Of the hospitals, who had i'm
plored that the musician might come to
see him before he died.
Attic rushed for time, Marteau, with
his poet soul and tender heart could
not resist such an appeal and jumping
into his facre he drove post haste to
the hospital, where he was rapidly ush-
cred into the presence of the boy whose
agonized eyes followed his every mo-
"What can I do for you, my lad9',
said he, striving to keep down the wave
Of tenderness and pity surging over
painful effort, II heard you J play . at the &c
hotel; won't you play for me againe'!
Taking the precious fiddle from its
case Marteau placed it under his chin
and the bow drew forth a low, tremu,
lous note, as he started to play.
On, sighed the boy in rapture, anc
there, a his heart counted the moments
the waif had to live, the musician
played sweet melodies, tenderly win
some and inexpressibly beautiful. There
WASH a dry eye in the room save thai
Of the man who played and the boy VIII
listened. At last, the music died ava,
to a whisper, the boys breath futteree
a moment and then ceased. The sur
| geon raised his hand. The child wa,
dead and a smile of ineffable raptur,
played over his features.

PREFERS SUICIDE TO
SLAVERY To- DRINK

Dependent because of family trou-
bles, Danied DeCorsey, 1904 James ave
nue. N, committed suicide in Bohn's sa-
loon at plymouth and Lyndale avenues,
by drinking carbolic acid.
DeCorsey, according to his wife, did
not work yesterday, but spent the
morning in a saloon. He came home in
the afternoon, and said that as he could
not stop drinking he had taken car
bolic acid. DR.. J. M. Kistler was sum-
moned, but could find no traces Of the
poison. Late in the afternoon Decor
sey went out again after telling, his
wife that he was going to join his
mother in Heaven.
He went Immediately to Kerker's
drug store, 500 Plymouth, and pur-
chased the acid. He then walked into
the saloon, drank the contents of the
bottle and fell to the floor. He died in
a few minutes, before a physician ar
rived.
A note was found in his pocket tell
ing something Of his troubles. He was
a heavy drinker and his brother-in-law,
Henry Lough, had tried to get him to
reform. DeCorsey resented the inter-
est shown by Tough, and~in the note he
laid the blame of his death on the man
who tried most to help him.
Coroner Kistler was summoned and
pronounced death due to suicide and or
dered the body turned over to the rela-
tives. DcCorsey is survived by q
| widow.

The Russian Crisis.

The news of the Russian election Is
as dark and enigmatical as tho it came
from Colorado. The most we know IS
that the radicals are reported to DC
carving the districts everywhere, but
what the delegates will amount to when
thew arrive at st. Petersburg is anoth-
er question. The powers of the douma
were very poorly defined in the cars
proclamation and there were certain
reservations which made it possible for
the fczar to cut wen these off.
The most that we know is that eleet
tions are being held under the invita-
ton of the car, and that delegates are
going up to the capital to take what
ever part in the government they
may be able to-. One report has it that
Nicholas is face to face with another
crisis in his eventful history. He is, as
always, between the radical and the re-
dictionary parties, one advising him to
90 forward and complete his work by
proclaiming a constitution; the other
urging him to disperse the douma when
it meets and resume his autocratic
sway. That he has the will power to
do the latter is unbelievable; that he
will do the former is more probable.
The situation will remain in a muddle
until something happens which will
compel the car to make a quick de
cision. Farsightedness does not iap'
pear orbe his forte. ~ ~

pirations of the Russian people have I'M

mo ARBITRATION :
OF GAS PRICES
COUNCIL COMMITTEE VOTES To
DEAL DIRECT.
Company's Suggestion that Arbitrar
ton Proceedings Be Dropped and
Conference with Company Be Opened
Is Approved by Vote Of 9 to 4.

BY a vote Of 9 to 4 the special coun.
Gil committee on 80 cent gas decided
yesterday to recommend to the council
that the effort to arbitrate the price Of
gas be abandoned, and that the commit.
tee be empowered to negotiate directly
with the gas company for a reduction Of
the price. The four who insisted ON
arbitration were Plat B. Walker. Wen.
dell Hertig, Nels J. Nelson and Frank
II Cashier.
The affirmative votes were by Alder.
men Gerber, Chatfeld, Nye, Stark.
weather, McLaskey, Anquist, Petersen,
Bow and Schoonmaker.
Albert C. Cobb, who appeared on be.
half Of the Minneapolis Gas Light com.
pany. made a long address in which he
reviewed the history of the company in
its relation to the city and showed that
there had been a constant reduction in
price whenever improved methods Of
manufacture and increased CONSUMPTION
warranted. He argued that arbitra-
ton was not now In order as the council
by awarding the company a contract for
a year, and by its resolution providing
for lighting the city from day to day
until the termination of the supreme
court proceedings, had indicated that
the present price was not unreasonable.
W u POho1hS ht1SdtiOn
might develop that the company had a
contract until Jan. l, 1907, and hence
any attempt to arbitrate at this time
would be premature. Moreover, arbi.
tratlon proceedings were costly.
Mr.. Cobb said that the company was
entirely willing, however, to meet the
city, council half way and suggested
that the arbitration proceedings
be abandoned and that the
committee confer with the com.
pany for the, adjustment of any differ.
ences that might exist.
Alderman Chatfeld thereupon made q
motion in accordance with this sue
gestion. Alderman Walker protested
but realizing that the motion would
pass, moved that the negotiations BIZ
limited to two weeks. The amendmen,
prevailed as did the original motion By
Mr.. Chatfield.

LATE CONVENTION
FOR DEMOCRATS
EARLY GATHERING TABooED AT
CONFERENCE TO-DAY.
John Lind Meets with Governor John
son and Members Of His Official Cab
inet-A Date Late in August or
Early in September Is Favored for
Making Nominations.

There was a conference Of state DEM
ocratic leaders today in Governor john
sons office.
The gathering was not premeditated,
Former Governor John Lind was over
on business, and dropped in at the gov
%ernor's office. Frank A. Day brought
in T.. A. Rosing, T. D. O'Brien, John
p. Kink and other democratic officials
at the capitol, and there was an in
formal discussion.
The chief topic was as to a conven-
ton date. It has been taken for
granted that the state committee would
be called soon and a convention called
soon after the republican gathering.
Sentiment today, however, was all for
a late convention. The leaders are op-
posed to a long campaign, and would
not hold the convention till they are
ready to start speakers out and make
the fight active. Two years ago Gov,
neapolis Aug. 80. "A date late in Au.
gust, or sven in September, will prob.
ably be chosen, and the committee will
not be called together till June.
There was some discussion of issues
and the platforms already announced
by republican candidates for governor
were talked over. In some Of his publ,
speeches Governor johnson has outlined
his personal views, and they will b,
made the foundation for the party
declarations.
