THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.
CEREAL DEAL GOES
Henry L. Little, Just Back From
the East, Says So.
HEADQUARTERS TO BE IN CHICAGO
It* Capital Will Be JJUJ.OOO.OOO—The
Hill-Moruan Deal Will Go
Through.
Henry L. Little, manager of the Pills
bury-Washburn company, has returned
from New York, where he went as vice
president of the Great Western Cereal
company to arrange a few business details.
Mr. Little confirms what appeared in a
special dispatch to The Journal con
cerning the consolidation of all the cereal
companies of the United States, outside of
the American Cereal company, into the
company of which he is vice president.
About a dozen oatmeal concerns were
taken in, including the big oatmeal de
partment of the Pillsbury-Washburn com
pany.
Mr. Little says that the Great Western
Cereal company will establish permanent
headquarters in Chicago at once, but will
maintain branch offices in New York, Bos
ton and Philadelphia. The company is
i capitalized for $3,000,000 and has issued
$1,500,000 of 6 per cent bonds. Says Mr.
Little:
The consolidation is only in line with other
industrial combinations that are forming
daily. It simply centralizes things, and will
enable us to handle the business to mu.'h
better advantage than we could if the indi
vidual companies continued in the field. It
will also enabie toe new company to sell
goods to the consumer for less money. It
saves expenses, of course, as there is no
useless duplication of endeavor.
Meets Mr. Hanna.
Mr. Little met Thomas Lowry in New
York, who presented him to Senator Mark
Hanna, concerning whom he says:^
I found Senator Hanna a very fine man.
I met him twice, aud was greatly impressed
with him. He is a very able man. He looks
like his caricatures, but rather older. He
is suffering somewhat from rheumatism.
Business iv New York is excellent. Mor.ey
is cheap and there is no immediate prospect
of its getting any higher. Anybody who is
entitled to credit can get all the money he
wants. The fact is, the New Yorkers have
made so much money in stocks that they
simply have loads of it. I never remember
a time when there was so much money in
New York. Stocks have advanced greatly
since election and everything is in a very
prosperous condition.
The Hill-Morgan Deal.
Mr. Little adds that from wh,at he has
heard he is satisfied the much-talked-of
Burlington deal whereby the Hill-Morgan
combination hopes to consolidate the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Burlington properties, is certain of ac
complishment, if indeed, the trick has not
already been turned.
C. E. MASS MEETING
Addveaaed by Mr. Tjaoder, the Evan-
yellst Last Evening.
A mass meeting of the Christian young
people of the city, without regard to
nationality or denomination, was held at
the Swedish Tabernacle last evening.
President Helliwell of the City C. E.
Union was in charge.
Mr. Tjaeder, the evangelist, delivered
the address of the evening, giving some
interesting boyhood experiences. He an
nounced that at his final meeting this
evening he would give some of his ex
periences of the last twelve years in dif
ferent parts of the world; also that he
would tell funny stories of 'Father En
deavorer" Clark and General Conger,
whom he met in Peking. H. B. Chamber
lain led the congregational singing.
Traffard N. Jayne sang a solo and Messrs.
Tjaeder and H. B. Chamberlain sang the
duet, "Some Day the Silver Chord Will
Break."
BALL'S NEW PLACE
Minnesota Iron Man to Manage Ten
nessee Company's Mines.
Duluth, Minn., April 10.—Edwin Ball,
for several years genral manager of the
mines of the Minnesota Iron company, has
been selected as manager for all the iron
mines of the Tennessee Iron and Coal
company. He will leave for Birmingham,
Ala., his new headquarters, May l.
RICHARD TJrAfiDiSR, EVANGELIST
He has been holding successful meetings in
Minneapolis, lie was formerly an officer in
the Swedish army, and is a man of wealth,
a lover of sports, a great hunter, a globe
trotter and a friend of Prince Bernadotte of
Sweden.
Sign of Good Times
A Minneapolis friend of United States Senator Hansbrough tells this: In his
early days the senator was a printer. Later he became a country newspaper man.
He passed through the 4 several stages of development and progress in that business
and was still hard at wbrk on the hustling end of the problem when political light
ning struck and he became a United States senator. During his Washington hand
press newspaper career the senator experienced all kinds of financial joy and sorrow.
There was one time in '88 after the financial clouds had been hanging low over
country newspaper plants, and collections on ads and job work came like pulling teeth,
I the sun broke through with a glorious revelation. A North Dakota banker came into
j the senator's office with the information that he had more money than he could use
iin the regular way and was willing to try on Hansbrough for a loan. While the
j senator did not need it at just that time there was a silver lining to every cloud
! after that because of the confidence displayed in his great family journal and its
i financial head. A few days ago the senator approached a friend with the statement
that he had heard from his home state and he was sure that prosperity hd struck in
good shape. One cf the banks in his state had more money than it could place to ad
vantage and the president of the institution wanted to know if the senator could not
use a loan if offered at a low rate.
'When these anxious bankers come begging to the doorstep of a newspaper man
with a request to help them make their money earn something," said the senator,
•you may be sure that the republican party still reigns and prosperity has swooped
down onto the western country with a vengeance."
Peanuts in a Corner
"■ . J
The wholesale price of thoae large, double jointed, smooth curved, bone dry pea
nuts that you read about is at high mark. A firm in Hoboken. N. J., has cornered
the market by purchasing all of the nuts in New York, Boston and Chicago, as well
as twelve carloads from Norfolk, Va. There has been an advance in price of from
70 to 90 cents per bushel. An adv&ce of one cent per pound has reached Minneapolis.
The present price is the highest in years, but no further advance is expected and
circus day is some weeks ahead. The only relief the country can expect Is the
arrival of the Philippine crop.
MINING PROPERTY SOLD
QIEE\ BEE CO. GETS MORE LAXDS
The American: Gold and Copper Min
ing Company,, Now In Bank
ruptcy. Sells
Papers were signed at Chicago yesterday
transferring the mines, machinery, prop
erty and stock of the American Gold and
Copper Mining company, whose properties
are located at Jelm, Wyo., on the Laramie
river, thirty miles south of Laramie, to
the Queen Bee Mining company of Minne
apolis. By the terms of the deal the
stockholders of the former company re
ceive a certain amount of cash and a
share of stock in the Queen Bee company
for each share turned over. The capital
stock of the American company was
5,000,000 shares of the par value of $1
each. The capital stock of the Queen Bee
company is 20,000,000 shares of $1 each.
C. R. Tuttle of the American Mining
Investment company, which is a promo
tion company for the Queen Bee and other
properties, says:
This is a consummation of a deal which
was negotiated last November. The Ameri
can Gold and Copper Mining company was
bankrupt. These new properties are at Jehu,
Wyo., just across the river from the Queen
Bee properties, so that the Queen Bee now
owns all of the properties in that particular
district.
TO TEACH THE FILIPINOS
XORTHROP'S RECOMMEXDATIOXS

President Northrop of the "U" finished
his part of the work of securing teachers

lished in the Philippine islands, and has
sent to Mr. Atkinson, the commisisoner
of education at Manila, the names of sev
eral graduates from the university and
normal schools in this state. The teach

ing direct to the commissioner at Manila.
Hamilton W. Mabie, editor of the Out
look, who was asked to deliver the ad
dress to thi3 year's seuior class at com
mencement time, says 'he will be unable

meat. Vice President Roosevelt will be
asked to deliver the address.
President Northrop receives by every
mail invitations to deliver addresses be
fore colleges and schools in every part
of the country. He said this morning
i hat every available date has now been
filled and he will be unable to make any
new engagements before next fall.

SOAP MAY GO UP A BIT
MAXIFACTIRERS GET TOGETHER
They Hold a Secret Session to Dl«
--cms the "Free Deal" and
May Kill It.
A telegram from Chicago states that
soap manufacturers and their representa
tives to the number of seventy were in
secret session at the Grand Pacific hotel
all day yesterday, and that the confer
ence was continued to-day. It is reported
that a new association of manufacturers
is to be formed to take the piace of the
one which went out of existence some
years ago. Nearly all of the leading soap
manufacturing concerns are represented.
Since the burning of the Bradshaw
Bros, factory the Minnesota Soap cbm
pany, which is represented at Chicago by
J. C. Robb, has been the only fac
tory in the twin cities to cover any large
amount of territory. An effort was made
by the big manufacturers in '99 to get to
gether, and the smaller factories were
perfectly willing to acquiesce in any ar
rangement that would put the trade in
respectable condition and make the busi
ness profitable. But the arrangement
failed to stick. One of the big ones cut
loose with a "free deal."
The "free deal" has been the hoodoo of
the soap trade since it was first tried in
the early nineties. It consists in selling
a certain amount of soap to the retailer
at a list price and then in throwing in a
number of extra boxes. Some of the big
soap makers say their laundry soap busi
ness has been a money loser for them for
years and that they have only been able
to recuperate their profits in the sale of
toilet aoaps and of washing powders and
compounds. What affects the big factories
affects the small ones, and there is a gen
eral disposition among the manufacturers
to get together and stop the free deal *ar.
On most of the standard grades it will
mean a cake or two less on a 25-cent
purchase.
UNSEEMLY HASTE
Authorities at Fort Snelling and
Henry Fromm's Death.
Friends of Henry Fromni. the aged sol
dier who recently died at Fort Snelling,
say that unseeraing haste was used at the
institution in getting the funeral off their
hands. Despite all protests, the deceased
was buried within twenty-four hours
after death. It is furtbir said that per
mission to bury the body in a trimmed
coffin sent to the fort for the purpose
was refused, and that the dead man was
interred in an old suit of cast-off clothing,
In a pine coffin similar to that provided
for paupers.
TAKES A BACKWARD STEP
MICHIGAN HAND GROSS EARXTXGS
System of Railroad Taxation In Re
pealed—What J. C. Hnyiit'M *
Found. *
While the people of Minneapolis are
pretty unanimously agreed that the gross
earnings system of taxing railorads is a
fine thing and that the rate only needs to
be increased to make it the next thing
to perfect, over in Michigan it seems
that they are Just as fixed in their minds
that the gross earnings system is a fail
ure and that the state should go back
to the old system of taxing railroad prop
erty the same as any other. J. C. Haynes
has juFt returned from a visit at Lansing,
in that state, where he found the legisla
ture in session ani apparently as much
interested in a proposition to repeal the
gross earnings law in that state as the
pc>opl» in Minnesota are In increasing the
rate hera.
"From all I could learn during my
bri<?f stay at Lansing," said Mr. Haynes
this morning, "the people are very much
in earnest in this matter. They voted
on a constitutional amendment last fall
giving the legislature the authority to
displace the gross earnings law, and
adopted it by a tremendous majority. The
legislature now porposes to give them
what they want, let the consequences be
what they may.
"The Michigan gross earnings law has
differed from ours in Minnesota in that
the rate is graduated according to the
amount of earnings instead of being a
flat rate, as here. For some reason or
other it has given great dissatisfaction
to the people and they have been clamor
ing loudly for its repeal. I suppose the
chief objection to it is that it releases
the railroads from the burdens of local
taxation. I told some of the members of
the legislature whom I met that in my
opinion they were taking a step distinct
ly backward in doing away with he gross
earnings law in favor of the old-fashioned
and thoroughly discredited system of ad
valorem taxation. They agreed with me,
too, but insisted that the voice of the
people was too strong to resist."
GOOD MUSIC ASSURED
Lake Harriet Understanding; Arrived
at Last Aisrlit.
The Minneapolis public is practically as
sured of a continuation of good music
programs .at Lake Harriet. The enter
tainment committee of the park board and
i Vice President Goodrich of the street rail
way company came to an understanding
in the matter last night; and it only
needs the indorsement of the full board.
The arrangement calls for a renewal for
five years of the company's pavilion con
tract, and the payment by the board of
the profits of the boats, not to exceed
11,500 a year, during that time toward
the expenses of a summer season of music
equal in quality to that given by the
Banda Rossa the last two seasons.
The street railway company in return
for the pavilion privileges pays the rest
of the expenses of the musical attractions
and deeds to the board all its property
lying between the picnic grounds : and
the company's right of way between the
Interlachen bridge and the pavilion
station, in all about eighteen lots, or
parts of lots.
These lots are now occupied by several
unsightly structures, and have been the
rendezvous for divers forms of entertain
ment not at all edifying to the residents
thereabouts.
FIRST BAPTIST ELECTION
Selection of a Treasurer Deferred
Another Meeting to Be Called. -
At the annual meeting of the First Bap
tist church last evening the following
officers were elected: Trustees, W. A.
Barnes, re-elected; C. J. Rockwood. re
elected: Elmer E. Merrill; deacons, H. D. <
Maul, F. E. Tallant, J. C. Hoblitt, James
Francis, J. A. McLeod; church clerk, Fred
C. Squyer; Sunday school superintendent,
George B. Graves. ....
The receipts for the year were reported
as being $11,378.74, and the disburse
ments for expenses were $11,034.07. The
membership is 1,104, showing a net gain
of 32 during the year, the total number of
accessions being 115.
Chairman W. L. Harris read a letter
from the trustees recommending that the
election of church treasurer be deferred
and that he be named by the incoming
board. It was stated that the election of
a treasurer at this time would handicap
the board in carrying out the new system
for raising funds for current expenses.
After a, warm debate the election of the
treasurer and the action on the recom
mendation were deferred to an adjourned
meeting to be called by the board of trus
tees.
QUESTION OF HANDWRITING
The M. Fa Ik Gjertaen Case Seems to
Hinge on That.
The press of Christiania apparently does
not side with Rev. M. Falk Gjertsen.
Another paper from Norway seems to con
firm the idea. Aftenposten, one of the
conservative papers, which did not men
tion the Gjertsen case until March 23. for
fear of prejudicing public opinion, in a
copy just received, states that the hand
writing in the alleged improper letters
sent to the misisonary's wife, is evidently
that of the accused minister. Experts
called into examine the writing, it iiays,
establish the fact beyond doubt. The
paper closes with this:
Falk Gjertsen left his hotel Monday. He
carried no baggage, but left all his effects
at the hotel. The report that he has gone to
Drammen or Kragero has been found to be
false. If Falk Gjertsen—which is thought
possible—should go aboard a steamer at
Christiansand, he will be detained. If he re
turns to America he cannot be secured.
A note added later, says:
The authorities here have been notified
that Gjertsen cannot be found in Christian
sand.
The detention mentioned would have
been on a charge of having made scan
dalous charges against innocent men.

RACE PROBLEM DEBATED
One Phase of It Discussed at Beth
esda Baptist Church.
Bethesda Baptist church, last evening
was well filled with an audience which
had gathered to hear four of the colored
men of the city debate the question:
"Resolved, that the industrial and social
independence of the American negro can
be best maintained by establishing a
negro commonwealth within the bounds
of the United States."
Rev. D. E. Butler of St. Peter's A. M.
E. church presided. J. S. Wright, a grad
uate of Eckstien-Norton university of
Kentucky, and Harvey Burke, whose alma
mater is Wilberforce, spoke in the affirm
ative; McCant Stewart and J. C. Reid,
both graduates of the state university
law school, in the negative. The judges
were W. R. Morris, Rev. W. S. Brooks,
John Allison, Jasper Gibbs, J. L. Curtis
and Rev. D. E. Carter. The judges de
cided for the affirmative, the audience
dissenting, thereby causing the judges to
explain that they were deciding on the
merits of the debate, not on the right
or wrong of the question. The receipts
of the evening will go toward the pay
ment of the debt on the church, which
matures June 9. The Baptist church of
the city has promised to give $2,000 when
the members of the church have raised
$1,000.
