THEIR EARNINGS INCREASED
RAILROADS IN MINNESOTA SHOW
INCREASE OF OVER TEN
MILLIONS.

st. Paul, March IAN increase Of
over ten millions in the gross earnings
or the railroads in this state over the
earnings for 1904 is shown by the sum-
mary of the annual reports for 1905.
Partly on this account, but especially
on account of the change from a 5 to
a 4 per cent gross earnings tax the
state taxes have increased over a
million. The taxes for the veal end.
ing Dec. 81, 1905, ats4 per cent amount
to $3,015,67G.94. Of this amount all
has been paid in except $145,717.01.
The tax now collected amounts to
$2,959, 959.93. A year ago the tax was
$1,911, 707.69, and for 1903 it amounted
to $1,971 ,6G2.67. The increase over
1904 is 81, 04S,252.24. The increase
over 1908 is S~9S3,337.26. The increase
in the earnings amounts TO $1O,742,-
696.T. This includes only earnings
on business done in the state and not
earnings outside the. state by railroads
doing business in the state. Almost
all the roads show a large increase.

RUSSIA IN ROLE
OF PEACEMAkER
USING HER INFLUENCE AT Der.
LIN TO PREVENT WAR
WITH FRANCE.
BOTH SIDES ARE STUBBORN
FRANCE WILL MAKE NO MORE
CONCESSIONS UNTIL GER
MANY RELENTS.

London, March 1.-The report from
Berlin that Germany has expressed
her Willingness to make concessions
will yield something, and the an
nouncement from st. Petersburg that
Russia Is using her influence at Der.
lin to prevent a rupture between Ger
many and France at Algeciras, gave
Great Britain a ray Of nope that the
conference might still succeed in set
ting the police and bank questions.
These hopes, however. are, not strong.
ut must be remembered" said an
official, that France made conces-
sions before the conference men and
has continued to do so since. Now
Germany, which heretofore has re-
fused to withdraw a single step, says
she is prepared to give way on some
points if France yields something. 1t
is difficult to see what further France
can concede."
German Press Hopeful.
Berlin, Feb. 28.-The Sued Deutsche
Reichs Correspondent of Karlsruhe,
which has the reputation of being the
purveyor of Chancellor Won Buelow's
views on foreign politics, maintains a
much more hopeful attitude relative
to the Algeciras conference than the
latest utterances of the French press.
The Correspondent deprecates the as
sertion that the conference is about
to disband because of a hopeless dis
agreement.
Russia Seeks Peace.
st. Petersburg, March Russia is
using all her influences at Berlin to
prevent a rupture between France and
Germany. Her action has been taken
at the instance of Paris, where the
Rocvier government is apparently
convinced that Germany proposes to
persist in her attitude even to the
point of provoking war. On account
Of the close relations existing be-
tween the courts of Berlin and st.
Petersburg it is believed in France
that Russia will have more influence
upon Emperor William tan any other
power.
Favor Concessions.
Earnest representations in favor of
concessions to insure avoidance Of an
appeal to arms were accordingly be-
ing made, to which Germany replied
that she had no desire to provoke war.
Nevertheless she gave no indication
that she proposed to modify her atti-
tude and Russia's latest advices from
Algeciras indicate that practically all
hope of an agreement has been aban-
doned. Although Count Cassini head
of the Russian mission, reports that
the conference will be fr%uitless, he
expresses a decided opinion that hos
tilities will not result.

MY sisters health was badly run

The federal troops here are prepar-

Britain Takes No Action.
London, March 1.-The foreign office
is taking no formal action in the mat
ter Of the Chinese massacres. The
secretary of the China inland mission,
the leading British society, stated that
his society here is making no repre-
sentation to the British government,
because the Chinese authorities have
: given them special assurance that
they were taking all possible steps to
stop massacres.
America Must Take Notice.
The Pail Mall Gazette contends that
the affair is one of which France and
notice, for the six Jesuits and two
Professionals were respectively French
and American citizens. The paper
adds:
THE cry of China for the Chinese
is a reality, with which Western pow
ers will have to reckon eventually.
The latest massacre, coming SO soon

more than. aHlocal outburst of Chinese

Funds Are Found to Be Available for
State Institutions.
st. Paul, March IA happy solution
OF the problem Of providing for the
institutions whose standing %oppropria-
tions were cut off by the new code was
reached yesterday at a conference of
the state officials, and a special ses-
sion of the legislature was averted.
The attorney general yesterday held
that while the new code will cut off
the $500, 900 next August, it would not
take away the standing appropriation
given last August. BY that solution
the institutions will get as much as
al intended for them for use up to
the end of the fiscal year, July 81.
For the fiscal year, beginning Aug. 1,
they will have the annual appropria-
ton of $642,000, but not the standing
appropriation of 100000. This will
be enough to carry the institutions
through the five months until the log
islature meets.

One More Spot.

Chief Justice Fuller was not long ago
the guest of a Southern gentleman
who had a servant named John,
famous for his mint julep. Soon after
Justice Fuller's arrival John appeared,
bearing a tray, or which was a long,
cool glass, topped with crushed ice
and a small tree Of mint. With low
bows and many smiles he presented it,
and watched ~anxiously while Judge
Fuller appreciatively slipped it.
THAT touch the right spot, sah?" he
queried.
"It does, John, it does," the judge re.
Piled.
John disappeared, but was Don re
called by the tinkle Of a hand bell. The
glass was now empty. The judge
looked up1with a twinkle in his eye.

he said.
