An American railroad had
placed q large order In Spain for
steel rails, that were to be deliver
ed In this country at $27 per ton
less than the trust charges for rails
ct the mills In Pittsburg. The
railroad Gazette gives some fur
Their particulars with respect to
the matter. According to the Ca
zette the order was placed by e.
81. Harriman's syndicate, to be
used on what is known as the Har.
riman lines. The rails are to be
delivered in San, Francisco in jan
uary, and the contract price, $27,
to cover cost Of transportation,
tariff duty and storage. The price
OF American steel rails delivered
in San Francisco would be in the
neighborhOOd Of $40 per ton more
than the cost Of the Spanish rails.
Meantime American rails are being
delivered in Liverpool for about
1913 per ton.

Thomas +. Ryan was not max
ing his first venture In the life in
surance business when he BOUGHT
the Equitable. 1t appears that
ne and J. Pierpont Morgan pur-
chased control of the Washington
Life Insurance Company q year
ago to "reform" it and eradicate
evils in its management that as
public.spirited citizen he felt it to
be his duty to remedy.
Since Mr.. Ryan and his associ-
ate obtained possession Of the
Washington Life it appears that
the policy OF the company to in
vest it's surplus funde In real es-
tate, bonds and mortgages has been
abandoned and other securities
substituted. Singularly enough
the securities that have found ia
vor with the company are largely
composed Of stocks and bonds Of
the various corporate enterprises
in which Mr.. Ryan is interested.
The Washington Life comparative
~ is q small affair; but it's man"
agement under the Ryan.Morgan
regime suggests the character Of
the Equitable management under
Ryan's ownership.
The Life insurance investigation
by the New York Legislative COM
m1ttee has revealed that the con.
troll of life insurance millions lie
quite as profitable as their owner
ship. Senator Dryden Of New
Jersey, who is SO devoted to the
uplifting Of life insurance that he
has introduced a bill in Cngress to
provide for federal regulation, has
found the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Company Of which he is pres
ident, an tlladin's lamp.
The Prudential has a trust COM
pany annex. The Prudential de-
posted it's funds in the trust com.
pany. The trust company funds
were used to float the Public Ser
vice corporation. The latter cor
poration engaged in buying up the
gas, water, street railway and
lighting companies Of New Jersey.
When q company was purchased
it was capitalized. Sufficient
bonds were issued to repay the
trust company. The stock re-
NAMED in the hands Of the Public
Service corporation. Dryden and
the members Of the syndicate got
the stocks. The Prudential fur
nished the money and got the
bonds. Thus Dryden and his
associates own and control the
public. utility corporations Of New
Jersey through the investing Of
the policyholders' money.
With the careers Of our great
financiers before them, the youth
Of the land should take courage.
The field for adventure has not
been closed. The buccaneer and
the, bandit and the rObber baron
have passed with the age that gave
them BIRTH, But the opportuni-
ties for the man Of foresight, pru'
dence, irugaEity and sound iudg'
ment have expanded immensely,
Let no youth despair. The path
to ''suCcess'' lies open and the
prizes are rich and close at hand,

Minneapolis - Information received
from the national pure food committee

partment states that the pure food ex-
hibit which was secured from the Min
nesota department has now been on
exhibition in nine states, including
New York, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio,
Colorado, Kansas, Iowa and Indiana.
The whole exhibit, which is being
sent around by the pure food commit
tee, was made up by the Minnesota
department.. The exhibit consists of
all sorts of samples of adulterated
foods and is as large as the exhibit
which the department showed at the
state fair. The committee has a num-
Der of bookings for the future
The committee in its next report to
the federation will say:
minnesota has a new code, which
has just gone into effect and promises
to be most effective. Judging by the
courtesy, ability and generosity shown
our pure food committee by the state
officials and by the local pure food
committee, Minnesota has set the pace
which it will be difficult for other
states to follow"
The report criticizes the food laws
and departments of almost every other

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

- THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Z Now that the disarmament of the
revolutionists and the government
volunteers is progressing steadily, the
thoughtful portions of the public OF
all nationalities are animatedly dis
cussing the possibility of Cuba's fu-
ture form of government. The desire
for annexation, which has been care
fully concealed for the past four years,
is now voiced openly, and the wish
that the United States retain some
measure of actual control in Cuban af-
fairs is heard more insistently than
ever
''Vive the Republic of Cuba" cried
Gov. Taft at the conclusion of an ad-
dress at the University of Havana.
This was the keynote o. his state
ment which is taken as an official
announcement.
1t is certain that a sufficient force
of American troops will be maintained
in Cuba to support the provisional
government and to insure security to
life and property pending the estab-
lishment of stable government by
the Cubans
American troops are moving toward
Cuba. Mobilization of the force will
be at Newport News, Va, for the most
part, although a part of the first ex-
peditionary force to Cuba will be
sent from New York and Tampa,
Fla.
Former President Palma left the
capital so quietly that the public did
not realize he had gone until the
news was given in the afternoon pa
pers.
According to the testimony of an
American named Harvey, formerly a
Roosevelt rough rider, who has been
with the insurgents, the amount of
actual fighting during this revolution
was really very small. Harvey says
that most of the fighting he had seen
was between gamecocks. About ten
per cent. of Guerra's men carry fight
ing cocks tied to their saddles.

More Business.

Duluth-An increase in the number
OF manufacturing establishments and
the number of wage earners in Duluth
is noted in the annual report on fac
tory inspection for 1906, which Julius
e. Moersch has compiled for the bien-
NAL report for the state labor bureau.
The inspection reports which include
Procterknott, West Duluth and New
Duluth, summarized for 1906, show 244
inspections, as against 236 in the pre-
ceding year, and corresponding in
crease in the wage earners' total
number from s75 to $500. The rela-
ton of the different classes of wage
earners one to another, however, has
changed. In 1905 one woman was en-
ployed to &C. men, while in 1906 it was
one woman to 7.3 men, denoting re-
duction in woman wage earners in
favor of men.

More Money!.

st. Paul-The revenue fund of the
state treasury is nearly million
richer than it was year ago-$92s,-
s75 81, to be exact. A year ago the
statement of the state treasurer at the
close of business on Sept. 80 showed a
deficit in the revenue fund amounting
to 1878, 1870. The report made out
yesterday, showing the condition at
the close of the month of September,
shows cash balance of $54,73711.
The total cash balance for all the
funds in the treasury is almost half
million better than last year. Then it
was 81, os4, 4467 rs, and this year it is
81. 51S, 374.l3. The cash in some of the
trust funds is less than it has been at
some previous dates on account of the
large amount of money that has been
loaned out to school districts, towns,
cities and villages

SWEDEN.

Many soldiers who served some
time after the expiration of the regu-
lar term on account of the strained
relations between Sweden and Norway
last summer have asked to have the
overtime served last year deducted
from the regular term this year, out
they have met with no encouragemen
whatever from the authorities.
The most loquacious member Of the
first chamber Of the rikdag of 1906
was Herr Sjocrona, who spoke At
times. Bishop Billing, however, being
a close competitor, having made IS
speeches. Herr Pehosson, of Tornevyd,
carried off the first honors with sixty
speeches in the second chamber. HAL
NOR Branting, the Socialist, followed
him as number two, but Branting
spoke only AZ times.
The miserable condition of the peo-
pie of Lapland is a matter of grave
concern to the Swedish government.
The Lap1anders are people who do aot
easily complain, and only the fact
that they are actually starving has
compelled them to ask for aid. Pasture
has become scarce so that it has been
impossible for Laplanders to preserve
their reindeer, thousands of which
have died. Unless something is done,
the Laplanders will die out, as they
will not give up their nomadic life. 1t
has been suggested by Swedish
statesman to transport all Laplanders
to Greenland, and this plan is con-
sidered feasible, though it may strand
on the Laplanders strong love Of their
old home.
Chicken cholera was introduced in
the country around Skarup by a lot
of geese imported from Germany.
Much of the lingon berries export ed
to Germany this year are transported
in unbroken carloads from the places
where they were picked to the places
where they are to be consumed. It
costs SIS to take a carload of lingon
berries from Halmstad to Berlin.
Ystad will have a milk flour factory
ready for operation next summer. The
cost of the plant will be about $685.
