This arrangement was agreed to unanimously by th^.- Minnesota delegation, and immediately upon the arrival at Omaha, "Minne sota" established headquarters on the ground floor of the Millard hotel and all the Minnesota rep rest natives start ed in for earnest work to secure the next convention for^our state. Mr. Bryant was selected as chairman of the committee, and was assisted by Fred B. Wright, of Minneapolis, presi dent of the state Korublican league, Mr. Charles M. Wilcox, Marshall, Minn., member of the national Repub lican league executive committee, and Maj. John Espy, of St. Paul. Hereto fore the selection of the next place of holding the national convention has beed derided by the convention then in sc c t3ion, but this plan was changed at the Omaha convention, and the conven tion voted to place the matter in the hands of the executive committee of the national league, which consists of fifty-one members, one frem each state. The reasons advanced by thrs change was the fact that when a certain city was selected in advance, the conven tion would hay? to go there, and the ex perience has been that transportation and hotel rates were arbitrary, where as, if the selection was left with the executive committee they would have been in a position to secure satisfactory lates and ot'r.^r inducements before the location wa.s settled upon. The fact that trarsportation rats have net be^n as low in some cases as they should have been, has interfered with the at tendance of delegates. The argument was also advanced that the national Republican conventions of the regular partie.s, were not located by the pre vious convention, but the place was selected by the national committee of the respective partus, and they always secured a bonus from the city select ed. Mr. Bryant states that most of the lf-f gue executive committee were call ed upon personally, and with very few exceptions they agreed to vote for St. Paul, provided we offered the proper inducements Both Co!. Stone, the newly elected president of the national league, and D. H. Stir.c. re-elected sec retary, pledge themselves to support the Interests of St. Paul. The commit tee wa<- also greatly assisted by Messrs. 1.. J. Crawford, D. W. Woodmansee, ex-presidents of the national league. With a full attendance of the delegates allowed from all the states there would be 193 delegates in the next national league convention, as these delegates come from every state in the Union it is a very important convention to se cure for the city. It is probable that the matter will rot be definitely decided for a year to come, in the meantime it is proposed to at once organize a ioint committee from St. Paul and Minneapolis to make the preliminary arrangements, and be in communication with the members of the national executive committee, so that when the committee meets or for ,mally act upon the matter, the proposi tion from St. Paul and Minneapolis can be presented.

PAUL GLOBE SUNDAY JULY 17, 1898. NEWS OF THE RAILROADS CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN CREATES NERVOUSNESS Fear That It May Cut Freight Rates Great Northern Express Com pany and Revenue Stamp Tax— — "IVestern 'Prank Line Freight Committee Will Secure Enforce ment of Laws Railroad Notes. Tha withdrawal of the Chicago Great Western from the Western Railway Weighing association and inspection bureau and from the Live Stocks asso ciation is regarded by other members of the association as preliminary to a cutting of freight rates by that roa.l, and there is more or less alarm felt. It is said that if the roa„ abolishes its inspection system shippers may make false vouchers as to the quality and grade of shipments, and thus have their goods carried at rates much be low what they should pay. As the company will have no representatives on hand to inspect goods the deception will pass unnoticed. "It looks like a deliberate scheme to cut rates," said a railroad official yes terday. "It will have an injurious ef fect because shippers within the as sociation territory will naturally send by the road that takes the least pre cautions to discover frauds. The as sociation was organized in 1887, and it has been one of the most beneficial of the many protective associations. It is to be regretted that the Chicago Great Western should withdraw from it." President Sti-ckney, of the Chicago Great Western, said he really knew nothing about the matter, as It restod with the freight department entirely. At that department the report of the company's action was verified, but it was denied that there was any inten tion to cut rates. It was explained that the railroads are protected by laws from fraudulent shipments and that each company can easily attend to its own inspections. WILL DO AS COrRTS SAY. C'reat Northern Express Company "Will Not Pay Tax at Present. The Great Northern Express company will not pay the war tax on shipments unless the courts distinctly declare that express com panies are to bear the burden of such taxes. The directors on Friday met and considered the question, and they agreed that, until the courts overrulo their construction of the law, the company will charge the shipper for the revenue stamp. In accordance with that decision Vice I resident l-oc:ner yesterday issued the fol lowing letter of instruction to the company's agents throughout the company's system ••Pending rhe decision of the courts on the question whether the revenue stamps affixed to express receipts shall be paid for by the express companies or by their patrons we re quest shippers to continue furnishing said stamps, wi;h the understanding that if tho decision of the courts make it the duty of the express company to pay for them we lierel by agree to reimburse a"! patrons for revenue UpS o USed P on our receipts since July 1 IS9B.

MAYOE WANTS RECORDS. Says All Licenses and Police Ap pointments - Shtiiilii Be Recorded. Among the reforms which have been in augurated by Mayor Kiefer is one regard ing the keeping of a license record. His honor finds it necessary that a record of the licenses of all kinds issued by the city be kept ln his offlce, and acting on this, the license In spector has been ordered to make a weekly re port as to all licenses issued. Books properly indexed will be added to the collection of volumes in the office of the chief executive and when these are completed trje mayor will have at his command a record, which will show at a glance to whom and when licenses have been issued. Mayor Kiefer denies that the new record of licenses is being made in order to allow the transfer of saloon licenses without tho au thority of tho council. As a matter of fact the mayor has contended, whenever ihe ques tion has been brought to his attention, that as chief executive of the city he had no power to change or disregard any of the charter provisions or ordinances of the city. In addition to the license record a new book will also be opened in which the names of applicants and appointments to the police force will be kept. The buok new used for this purpose makes no provision for the registering of the birthplace of the parents of the applicant for •appointment on the polica force. Under the new rule adopted by the mayor this is of vital importance in making up the force and consequently a new book, which wili show thi3 material fact when an apolica tion has been recorded, hag been ordered. The keeping of these records will increase the clerical work in the offlce, but the mayor is determined to have the information without regard to the expense or work eutai'.ed.

OMAHA, July 16.— (Special.)— Minne sota has two magnificent exhibits in the agricultural building at the Trans- Mississippi exposition. Grains and cereals are shown in a handsome pofll tion on the north side of the main aisle. The grains and grasses of the state are utilized in the decoration in a man ner which produces the most effective results. Glass cases of handsome de sign are grouped about and in these are shown the cereals for which the state is famous. Wheat, oats, rye, bar ley, millet, buckwheat, timothy, clover and other varieties of seeds are shown in these cases and in glass Jars which are arranged on a pyramid occupying the center of the Minnesota pavilion. A strong showing is made of No. 1 hard wheat, the staple production in Minnesota. One entire side of the pa vilion is devoted to a showing of the numerous varieties of flour made ln tlie state. A huge pile of flour in sacks extends almost to the roof of the build ing, and in this pile are 120 varieties of flour from different mills. Each of the 400 mills in the state having a capacity of 125 barrels per day has contributed a sack of its flour, butt there was not sufficient room to dis play all of them at one time. The second exhibit is that of the flax and wool industries of the state. The showing of the flax industry is in charge of Mrs. Oscar N. Olberg. of Albert Lea, Minn. Mrs. Olberg has ac quired a national reputation in con nection with the promotion of the flax industry in the United States. Her father, a retired farmer and miller, M. K. Dahl, of Waupun, Wis., took up ths cultivation of flax as a diversion, and succeeded in demonstrating the practi cability of growing flax of the very finest quality In the northern states. At his death the closing up of his busi-, ness affairs brought Mrs. Olberg into contact with the flax industry, and she has been identified with it to a con siderable extent ever since. Her work has been largely in the line of promo tion in oonnction with the office of fibre investigations of the agricultural de partment of the government. May 15 last, the Minnesota commission asked Mrs. Olberg to collect material and make an exhibit of the flax industry of Minnesota, and the exhibit shown in the agriculture building was collected under difficulties. Mrs. Olberg declares that no finer flax is grown than can be raised in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and lowa. The pro cess of preparing the land, sowing, "pulling" and the subsequent treatment of the crop ls shown by means of photographs, while the flax itself is shown in various stages of prepara tion, from the first stages to the finish ed product. Numerous samples of cloth made In the mills in Minnesota are shown and also several samples made from the flax grown in Minne sota which was woven by mills in Mas sachusetts and in Ireland. The wool exhibit, made under the direction of the Minnesota commission, is in charge of W. J. Burnett, of Min neapolis. Tbe exhibit is contained in upright glass cases, the first contain ing fleeces from a breed of sheep raised by a prominent sheep raiser of Minne sota which he calls the North Star. The wool is what is known to the trade as long medium, and is of a very fine quality. Another oase contains a fancy blanket made of wool from Minnesot sheep. The last case in the line con tains a fleece prepared for the market in the wrong manner, and near it are photogr.aphs showing the proper man nPT to fold and roll a fleece in order to keep it in the best condition. The Minnesota exhibit is in charge of C. W. Fields, of Minneapolis, one of the state commissioners. FUNDS FOR THE SOLDIERS. Entertainment at the Fair Grounds for MlmiCMoitn Volunteers. The Ladies' Aid society, auxiliary to the Sons of Veterans, of the Twin Cities, have undertaken an entertain ment for the benefit of the Twelfth and the Fifteenth regiment?, Minnesota vol unteers. The arrangements are ln the hands of Society No. 2, of this city, which will have the co-operation of the Minneapolis societies. The entertainment will consist of a production of "As You Like It," in the open air at the state fair grounds and other attractions, one of which will b^ a military promenade, where booths, music and entertainments, something after the nature of a Midway Plaisance will be given. The performance of "As You Like It" will be given by the Waldorf company, which has produced the play at many summer entertain ments this year throughout the North west. The company is said to be a cupable one, and it is believed that the production will prove a strong drawing card. The performance will be given in the glade just north of the main building, where the natural appropriateness of the spot will be enhanced by evergreen trees and flowers. . The prcmonade will extend from the railroad gates to the main building. The booths will be in charge of young women in uniforms, who Will dispense refreshments, and two bands, stationed at either term inus, will discourse music.

Has Found Five Persons Willing to Go His Surety. It Is probable that J. H. SouthaM will be walking about the streets next week. He has now offered Aye separate sureties for the IB.'SOO bail that is required of him. and, although Judge Bunn would not accept three sureties that were offered yesterday, the district at torney said that the bends would be good enough for $3,500 on one ef rhe charges, but that he would require other security for the rest of the bail. South all was in court himself. He looked very well, and jail life id not apparently both ering him. He was accompanied by Attorney Nelson. The court examined J. C. and Anna Ryan and Margaret Fitzgerald, and the coun ty attorney said he would accept these three with Col. Liggett and William Plant for the *8,500 bond, but would require other sureties for the rest. Southall was obviously disio pointed. but It was said that he will go into court Mond&y with sufficient sureties ;;nd lis the ball.

A Chicago Company "Will Be Given a Chance to Explain. Insurance Commissioner Dearth yes terday called upon the Western Mutual Life Insurance company of Chicago, to show cUuse .vhy its license to do business in this state should not be revoked. The insurance commission -±r is in possession of an affidavit and .-.ther in formation which charges the West,, m J Mutual company with violating the in- I suiance laws of this state. It is claim ed that the Chicago concern has be*sn Issuing what is known as "special agency contracts." These contracts are issued to agents, with the under standing that they take out policies in the company. The poljji •;•=■ i.-- :••■! to agents under these conditi ms are writ ten under a special agreement, whereby the agent receives a ribate "ii all bus iness done in this state. NsceßSarJly, only a limited number of these njl'c'ts are issued, and only a few are in force fan Minnesota, in the hands of repre- j sentatives of the company. Insurance Commissioner Dearth says j that, under the laws of this state, in- | surance companies have no authority , to issue a policy which favors one j class of policy holders. Some time ago the Western Mutual was in trouble with the state depart ment concerning the same practice. At j the time, the officers of the company patched up an agreement with the commissioner promising to call in all such policies, and in the future no poli cies would be issued to agent 3 under ; this "exclusive" arrangement. The insurance company did not, how- j ever, keen faith with the state depart ment, and have gone right along issu ing "special contracts" to agents in this state. Insurance Commissioner Dearth stat ed yesterday that the practice of is- j suing so-called "special agency con- i tracts" was very annoying to the com panies who confined their operations to writing legitimate insurance, and, unless a good cause could be shown, the Western Mutual would be excluded from doing business in the state. POLICEMEN ARE ANXIOUS. "Worried Because They Fear Mayor Kiefer'» Little A*. During the present week the expectei changes in the police department are to be announced by Mayor Kiefer. Ever since the mayor took charge of the city and the police department there has been all kinds of rumors as to the "shake-up" in the force. . As to the heads of the department, it is understood that both Chief Qosa and Chief of Detectives Schweitzer will remain in their positions, at least for the present. As to the other officers, detectives and patrolmen, nothing defi nite has been announced. Friends of Mayor Kiefer claim that the changes to be made in the person nel of the- force will number about for ty. His honor has frequently stated that he would mak a some changes about July 20, but they would not bo numerous. The question that Is now agitating both the "ins" and "outs" is what the mayor means by the changes being "not numerous." Those who worked and voted for the mayor and are not on the pay rolls look wise and say there will be a gen eral cleaning out of the force. Tho.se who are holding positions take the mayor's argument that the members of the force are all Republicans, or sup posed to be. and try to make them selves believe there will be no changes. One thing is certain, and that ls. If removals are to lie made on the plan figured out by Jake Stadtfield and the mayor on the nationality question, there will be trouble in the council, and the result may be that the action of the mayor will not be concurred in. Several of the members of the coun cil have expiveeed themselves as op posed to removals from the force on the ground of nationality, and say they will not stand for the removing of an officer simply because his parents were born ln Ireland, to make room for a German or a Swede who has some political pull. It Is claimed by several of the coun cilmen recently elected that a sufficient number of votes have been secured to carry through the changes proposed by the mayor, and for this reason those who object "cut no Ice" except to lose standing with the chief executive. MUSIC~AT COMO PARK. Two Concert* Today and One Each !•" v e ii In K DuriiiK the Week. There will be a fine concert at Como park this afternoon and also one this evening and on each evening of the week. New selections will be offer. il. It Is planned . to have an other pyrotechnic display on Wednesday 3 which will be ln the nature of a naval bat* tie, somewhat similar to that of the week past. There will be a Strauss evening next Friday and It would seem beyond question that the I Strauss evening would prove quite as attrac tive as the Wagner cne. Strauss music is bright and full of sweetness and always pop ular. As his grtat selections are ail short, a I great many numbers will be Included on, ! the programme. It is now intended to ma!«) I all the programme Strauss music for this * evening. On the other evenings of the v*t< '& the numbers will be varied. The completion of the new sounding board I will add much to the soft work of the or i chestra. The railway company has also been erecting some new lights an 1 making other ! improvements about the station. 'TWAS NOBODY'S FAULT.
