no COMPROMISE ON
RATES IN MINNESOTA
Railroads VIII Eight Out Battle
Against Two-Cent Fare
Law Ia Courts.

Minneapolis. MINI, April 7.-Ther
will be no compromise between thu
state OF Minnesota and the railroads.
The fight on the rate question must &C
to It's finish in the courts.
All the leading Minnesota roads were
represented in the conference OF at
torneys In ST. Paul, and at that meet
ing the compromise proposition waa
discussed and rejected.
This proposition had been conveyed
verbally from state officials to certain
railroad attorneys. 1t was a peace
measure to end the litigation n quiet
the rate question. to avoid an extra
session OF the Legislature and other
dangers.
The plan was for the roads to secure
dismissal of the stockholders injunc-
ton suits. stop fighting the 2-cent fare
and the merchandise rates., and mako
some reduction in commodity rates.
Such a course would have done much
to win popular favor, but 1t struck the
railroad men that it meant too COM
plete a surrender. They turned 1t down
and decided to see the fight through.
What course the governor and attorney
general will take remains to be seen.
The railroad attorneys haven't much
fear of an extra session. They believe
1t has been headed off. Had the Peck
ham decision knocked out the rate law
entirely, no doubt the legislature would
nave been called together to pass au-
other one. That appealed to the rail-
road lawyers and they have all agreed
now with the contention of the state.
They are ready to concede that the law
stands, all but the penalty section. So
the court has still to decide whether
the rates are conf1scatory.
All the rates will be involved in the
suit. BY accepting the merchandise
rate and the 2-cent-fare law, the roads
admitted that they We're reasonable.
They have put them in the case, how
ever. and refused to drop them and
confine the fight to commodity rates.
Evidently the roads figure hat by COM
bining all the rates and taking evidence
on all three, they will stand a better
chance of winning on the commodity
rates, than If those rates alone We're in
controversy.

nizes her as his daughter, although She

Giron. the tutor of his sons. For a time
u was a question whether he would ar
cept her as one of his family or not.
After he. made up his mind he finally
succeeded In getting the girl away from

TO countess Bernstein. an accomplished
American woman of high character aud

Inc countess task was 20 train the girl
to be a princess, to teach her the science
and arts of court life. This education is
being Impaired at the lonely castle of

The child is growing in beauty and
strength of character and making rapid

King of SaXony chat all is going on as
well as can be hoped for. That is yhv
the king decided to visit the princess. to
run down privately to the castle of Griess
and see for himself what progress Monica
has made and whether she is yet fit to
enter the walls of the palace at Dresden.
The king and the princess quickly be-
came friends. He took her motoring and

The princess, an exceptionally pretty,
attractive child, has benefited enormously

SAN MAY MAKE
STATES PAY Up DEBTS
Senator Gamble Has Introduces
Bill Requiring Settlement
for Public Lands.

Washington. April 7.-Uncie Sam Is In
= position to put what is commonly
known as a crimp into the state treas
uries Of about half the states If he de-
cides to call in his loans. 1t is not gem
orally known. but Uncle Sam has $685.
300, 900 loaned to the states that were
members of this union in 1886, payable
Dn call. Exactly whether the money is
entitled to draw interest has never been
clearly decided. Just now the question
Of giving it all back to the states and
relieving them of their obligations to
repay 1t is before congress. The bill
has been made unfinished business in
the Senate and action may be taken on
1t before long. 1t has come before the
congress from time to time for two en-
erations past. but never been decided.
It was back in the days of Henry
clay that the law passed authorizing
government to pay to the then
states various o out of a pie
thorfc national treasury, received from
n sale of public lands within their re-
spective borders. The largest mount
owed by a single state is s.. LOLA. $40, from
New York.
Senator Gamble has a bill before con-
gress now TO settle the public I'M ac-
counts between the government and
the states and to cancel this old obli-
cation. 1t happens h a the states
which were in the union before this
prize distribution would get no cash
from the government under the meas
ure, but simply a cancellation of these
old obligations; those which have come
IN since would get repaid to them GER
tain amounts, representing 3 per cent of
the value of public lands within their
borders sold by the government, u
which ought to have been held for the
benefit of the states-the swamp land
claim.
Benefits Young States.
If the claims of the
against the older states. We're held to
draw interest. even at 4 per cent. they
would amount to a serious figure. Thus
New York would owe about Sl2. 000. 900.
Ihere is no serious prospect tina the
national government will ever demand
repayment of these but the
fact remains that they stand as iabil-
tiles of the states. and there is a gen
eral desire to settle them up by can
collation.. But as the settlement is like
iy to involve a payment of actual cash
amounting to about So, 900, 900 to more
recently admitted public land states il
is very uncertain whether the measure
will go through.
Some of the people from the newer
states have had in mind that an effect
I've way of forcing settlement might be
to attempt seriously to press for a re-
aymen of these old loans. They call
culat that the old states would be
right willing If such a thing were pro-
posed to adjust the swamp Ian indem-
nifty claims and to allow something ike
$4,000, 900 to be paid out OF the national
treasury in preference to forcing the
