Minneapolis citizens who are not In sympathy with President McKinley's Philippine policy gathered in the New York Life building yesterday afterncon. The purpose of the meeting was to take Bteps towards organizing the Minneapolis Anti-Imperialist league, which has b?on In process of incubation for some time past. When the organization is com pleted, the Minneapolis leagrue will co operate with the American Anti-Imperial ist league of Chicago. The latter organi zation has an executive committee of fifteen, of which Edwin Burritt Smith is the chairman. Mr. Smith p.rrived in Min neapolis yesterday and addressed the meeting. A. B. Choate presided over the meet- Ing. The only business in order was the report of ths committee of five appointed a week ago to present a p'.an of reorganization of an anti-im perialist league. The committee, ■which consists of S. A. Stockwell_. Rev. S. \V. Sample, F. G. Ccrser, H. M. Parker md Col. G. C. Ripley, submitted a plan. It provides for an organization which shall choose a president, an unlim ited number of viee-presider.ls, a secre tary and an executive commltteo of fifteen, of which the president and sec retary shall be members. The p'.an was duly approved. The committee of fve recommended that el-rht of the fifteen members of the executive •rommittee be chosen at once, and Invest Kl with authority to select the other seven, but the matter was referred back to U» | committee of live, which was Instructed to nominate eight members, and subnVH such nominations at a meet ing of th* tn:i-imperia!ists to be held at ?. p. m. tos (Oiiow at the same place.

An el fort has already been made to Becure Carl Schurz to deliver the prin cipal address, but his health is not such as will permit him to make the trip. It is quite likely that W. A.

Hayes, Luther Jaeger, Reger Vail and O. T. Erickson. Mr. Smith's address was received with* demonstrations of approval. Mr. Smith said that within the brief period that had elapsed since the anti-imperialist meet ing in Chicago more than sixty anti-Im perialist leagues had been organized in various cities throughout the country. Mr. Smith laid special emphasis upon the significant fact that a large number of the men who have displayed the great est zeal in organizing the American Anti- Imperialist League of Chicago were con spicuous two years ago in an independent movement in behalf of McKinley. Mr. Smith further said that the leading men of the Chicago organization were direct- Ing it along non-partisan lines. They hoped to influence both of the old parties to take what they considered the right view of the anti-Imperialist question, but If one party took this course and the other did not, the Anti-Imperialist league would support the former. Mr. Smith suggested that Minnesota might become the nucleus for a North western league, which would cover the work in the states west of this. In that case the organization would be conducted from Minneapolis, and this would be a branch league, the same as the Boston league has become the New England bra.nch. In conclusion Mr. Smith Informed the meeting that the recommendations made for Minnesota at the recent Chicago con ference had been approved by his execu tive committee, notice of which would be sent upon his return from Chicago.

Gift of 9100,000 to the Home for Children and Aged Women. Mr. and Mrs. John S. Pillsbury yester day gave $100,000 to establish a fund to be known as the Mahala F. Pillsbury fund, for the permanent endowment of the Min neapolis home for children and aged women. Part of the money is out at 6 per cent interest and the remainder is at 5 a /2 per cent. The interest is to be devoted j to the uses of the institution, but the fund itself is to be kept Intact and must always be kept out at interest. Mr. and Mrs. Pillsbury have been set ting aside money for the past five or six years with the intention of making the gift, and as the entire amount had finally j been gotten together, it was thought that i it would be very proper to make the be , quest at the time of the annual meeting which was held yesterday. The home for children and aged women, 1 located at Thirty-second street and Stevens avenue, was founded in 1881, Mrs. Pillsbury being one of the leaders in the movement. She was elected president of the institution and has continued in that ! office ever since. Hundreds of orphan | children have been taken into the home i and fed, clothed and educated and have i been turned out from the home when they j have become old enough to support them- | selves and have invariably proved them selves useful men and women. In 1885 it was decided to take into the home aged women of good character, in reduced cir cumstances. A large number of these have been provided with comfortable homes for the last few years of their lives. There are at present in the home sixty-eight children and sixteen women. The annual expenses of the home are about JB.OJO. Of this amount the ball has supplied about $2,000 a year and the rest has been secured through the subscrip t.ons solicited by the ladies. The endow ment fund will give to the uses of the home something over $5,000 annually, and the same means as heretofore will be used to raise the remainder. The meeting yesterday was largely at tended. The reports of the various com mittees were read, and Mrs. Wells read I a number of letters from the proteges of the nome. The officers were re-elected as follows: President, Mrs. John S Pills bury; vice presidents, Mrs. H. B. Lang c;on, Mrs. H. M. Carpenter, Mra T B Wells and Mrs. W. M. Tenney; treasurer' Mrs. George H. Christian; recording sec retary, Mrs. Charles F. Hatch; corre sponding secretary, Mrs. C. E. Reynolds. CHARTER CAMPAIGN. Meeting of the Minneapolis Com mission Called for jfext Monday. The charter question is likely to become a live issue again in Minneapolis In the very near future.

In auch event the schools will not only be seriously crippled this year, but still more so in years to come.

Grain men estimate North Dakota's whtftt yield this year at 75,000,000 bushels, while the yield of flax will approximate 10,000.000 bushels. WING STILL IN JAIL.

A large number of diamonds are white though a clear, colorless transparent stone is rarer than might be supposed. Besides white diamonds there are red blue, green, yellow, brown, black and pink ones. Heat often changes the color, and after a while the acquired hue becomes permanent. Yellow diamonds perhaps af ford the greatest variety of shades. Some of them surpass any other gem of that color Specimens of canary-colored dia monds are quite common. If the gem has a rose-colored tint it is very valuable; while red tints, surpassing the ruby and considered the most beautiful of all pre cious gems, are exceedingly rare. A few varieties are on record; one weighing ten karats was bought by Emperor Paul of Rusaia for $100,000. A cinnamon or brown stone is undesirable, as it is seldom pure A black diamond is nearly as scarce as a red one. Blue diamonds rank next to red one?, for variety and beauty. Those of a dark blue color, resembling sapphires ar Q handsome gems, differing only from the sapphire in quality and the beautiful play of colors peculiar to the diamond The only real blue stones are found in the mines of India. Besides the Bismarck and Hope diamonds there are only two others in the world that are properly called blue diamonds. Tho green varieties are not as rare as the blue, black, red and rose-colored species, yet a grass green or fine emerald color is scarce. When it does occur it Is more brilliant than the finest emerald. There are several varieties of green-tinted diamonds at the museum of natural his tory in Paris, but the best known speci men is at Dresden, and is considered one of the five paragons of the world among gems. m .... - Paper Pillovrs.
