ence with that received by me State
Department
He is also entirely at a loss 20 un-
derstand why his cousin should have
cahled 20 him unless II was under the
coercion OF the Zelayan government.
The first cable was dated at 1895 a.
m Sunday from the Nioarsguan CAPT

later 1t was merely a personal mes

preparing for its resignation tonight
and the dissolution OF parliament, fol-
lowing the expected rejection Of the
budget by the house Of lords.
That the budget will be rejected is a
foregone conclusion. The only effect OF
the powerful speeches made against
Lord Lansdowne and the amendment,
will be to cut down slightly the vote in
the house of lords by which the budget
will be thrown out
IL is not believed that these speeches
have changed the votes OF half a dozen
peers. This Is evidenced by the fact
that the latter are taking but little ap-
parent interest in the debates, as they
have their minds made up TO vote
against the budget.
Guard For Chamber.
To guard against a hostile demonstra-
tion against the lords when tonight's
action is taken, the police will have a
special guard IN and around the par
lament chamber. 1t is feared that the
public may attempt to vent its wrath
by rushing parliament.

OBJECTIONS TO RE-ASSESSMENI
OF BROADWAY PAVING RE-
IEGWNEn :--.-:..

At a meeting of the board of public
works last Saturday evening, at
which N. N. Berghe1m and John
Vert1n of the board, and City Clerk
Cary and the city attorney were
present, the objections fled by
Attorney Blanchard for his client,
Henning landau, against the re-
assessment Of the Broadway paving,
were considered and rejected. One of
these objections was that the board
had no jurisdiction to make the re-
assessment as at least one member of
the board was property owrer on the
line of the Broadway property that
would be affected by the re-assessment
others that no proper notice had been
given that part OF the cost of paw:
ing should be paid by general taxa
ton and that the cost of the paving
was excessive.
The assessment, which, with the
exception of a slight decrease IN the
assessment of the property west OF
Wood street, is practically tho same as
the previous one, was then completed
and filed with the city clerk.
The board Will meet again on April
24th to hear any other objections that
may be filed and to confirm the assess
'ment.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.

A meeting Of the Commercial cluI
was held Monday night, called
principally to consider the tonnage
tax, which came up in the senate this
week. Tho purpose of the bill was
taken up by President Williams, who
stated that If the bill passed, counties
having ore would be handicapped from
the fact that the state would receive
all the tax, and the countries the extra
expense that this industry would
naturally bring, such as schools, public
buildings. police protection, etc. The
matter not gone into, however, OF
the merits of the bill discussed. A
petition to the senate, asking them to
kill the bill, was signed by most of
those present, and signatures were also
secured about town the next day.
The question of good roads was also
considered. and several suggestions
advanced. The state highway COM
mission will be asked for information
as to- the best way to secure crushed
rock, this to be put on the different
roads leading into the city.
It was thought by those resent that
something should be done. either IN
the way of increasing the yearly in
come, or decreasing the expense.
Many favored an increase IN the yearly
dues. A committee will look into the
different phases of the question. Al
though the club has not done what
some people expect of it, 1T has been a
power tor good, and should continue,
and will.
A communication was received from
A. J. Varchminn in relation to the
locating of an ice cream and candy
factory.

NORMAL Blll VETOED
Gov. johnson Says No
Necessity for Another
School, Now

ST. Paul. Mimi, April 6.-Gov:
johnson this afternoon vetoed the bill
establishing another normal school at
Cass Lake. In his message he says the
northern part of the state at the
present time is we'll supplied with
normal schools, and that the popula.
ton in that territory is not sufficient
to warrant 1t. He suggests that the
better plan IS to increase the facilities
at the normal schools at st. Cloud,
Moorhead and Duluth rather than
establish another school at Cass Lake.
A further objection at Cass Lake is
also offered IN the fact that the
population there Is not sufficient to
warrant sufficient attendance for the
model department, which is necessl
ty of every normal school.
