Amendments Fail.

ST. Paul.-Nineteen counties that
have given their official vote on the
tax amendment leave it far short OF
the necessary majority of all the

the amendment just little below a
majority and the usual proportion
against it. st. Louis county gave it
only small vote, with large vote
against it. But Hennepin county gave
it the worst set back, for they were
so busy voting for city officials, get
ting acquainted with the new knobs
on their voting machines that they
forgot to vote on the amendment.

Wheat to GERMANY.

Duluth.-Germany bought Mime
sofa and Dakota wheat today for ship
ment to Hamburg. There was much
secrecy about the transaction. The
first report was that a Minneapolis
firm made the sale. The Peavy COM
pany did not confirm it. The Van
Dusen-Harrington company said they
did not sell it, but that five loads were
sold to go down the lakes from Du-
luth. 1t was finally learned that the
Ames-Brookes company sold the
wheat, five boat loads in all, meaning
canal boat measurement, which
equals about 10000 bushels. This is
trivial quantity, considering the
mammoth proportions of the grain
trade as whole.
