IVY 11 KIR'S HIS REFERENCE TO IT AS "MY SAW' DISPLEASES HIS SIH JBCTfI IX BAVARIA MEAT BILL IS A DISTURBER EmiMTor 'William Seenu to Regard It iih a Victory O^ or Him Agra rian Hnrmiri liwon of African War. Copyrighted by the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 2.—Prince Hohenloho, the brperlal chancellor, nave assurances to an informant of the correspondent of the Associated Press today, that the Bundesrath, in drawing up the para graphs and calling out the provisions of the nn at inspection bill, would frame them in such a manner as to consider the legitimate wishes of the American and l'.ritlsh governments as much as the tenor of the law will permit. The chancellor bitterly complained that he wa-s now wholly isolated in the cabi net on :ilia meat question, Count yon Posadowski's Influence having become paramount, even, with the minister of foreign affairs. Count yon Buelow. Un fortunately, too, Dr. yon Lucanus, the emperor's private cabinet chief, and Couhl yon Posadowskl have managed to make the emperor believe that the meat bill compromis< an adopted repre sents a great victory over the Agrarian?, Jn which 11i-s majesty innocently rejoices. The Centrist leader, Heir Lieber, -who has been very ill for months, and who, from several visits to America, Is most friendly to the United States, has only Just returned to the Reichstag, but is Still too \\>';ik to reassurae the leader ship of the- Centre. To the Associated Press correspondent Herr Lieber said he regretted his forced absence, as he regarded the terms ex. eluding certain American meats as too Btringent, for he became convinced dur ing his \isits to the United Suites that the slaughtering there was good, in every respect, and that the meat and sausages there were as wholesome as here. CHINA SITUATION IMPROVED. The foreign office Informed the Asso ciated Press thai the situation in China has improved during the past few days. The Chinese military authorities have ehowr greater energy und now seem masters of the situtation. The foreign office expects the troubles will be Quiet ed without further violence. Tin- emperor has called an important meeting for Prussian school reform to convene after the holidays. Proving the emperor's intention that reform must be toward raising the technical schools to the level required by the high state of recent technical developments is the fact that invitations have been sent to all rectors of technical high schools and a number of professors, like Van Desborgbt aid Buslcy. The Berlin municipal council has also unpointed a mixed deputation for a Sim ilar end for all the Berlin middle schools, i Berlin, In council, has resolved that hereafter it will build, operate and main tain :.ll street car Hjit-s for municipal int. The Siemens-Haiske company, at an experimental station at Grossllchter leilde, lias built and run on trial electric trains making eighty to ninety kilome tres hourly. High civil and military au thoritles have inspected the plans satis factorily, and they will be Introduced on several lines. Their maintenance is said to be cheaper than that of other lines.

Hesse and Commissioner ol Police Block were seriously wounded last nUht by stones. A number of inliu <!!tial papers during the attack have published articles about his majesty's personal regime, some approving and others disapproving. The Cologne Yolks Zeitung points out that the emperor's fashion of speaking about the Germany navy as "My navy," is against the con stitution, adding that the advisers around his majesty ought to tell him so. Doubtless the recent telegrams of the emperor t.> the ptihee regent of Ba varia, in which the obnoxious term oc < urn (1. displeased the Bavarian court, «s the wording of the emperor's tele gram as they published it was altered, omitting the personal pronoun the em peror had used. Tin st mi-official Post says the South African war has taught two important lessons, viz- The cohesion of the Brit ish empire, even Into the farthest In dependent colonies, Showing that im perial ideas really have taken root throughout the vast empire; secondly, thai Russia is not aching to march into India. All the German newspaper consider the war virtually over. Gen. Bocher, In the Lokal Anzeiger, today eulogized Lord Roberts as a master strategist.

PARIS, June 2.—ln the senate today the Dreyfus case amnesty bill was adopted ; by 238 to 24 votes. The discussion of the amnesty bill wns opened with the concluding part of the speech of M. Trarieux, the former min ister of justice, criticising the project. Gen. Lambert followed in defense of I Ih.e army, which, he said, the previous i speaker has insulted, after which the ! premier, M. "Waldeck-Rousseau, rose to i make a declaration In bthalf of the movement. The whole of France, he said, applauded the pardon of Dreyfus, and showed thereby that it wished ap peasement. The government was of that opinion. It wished to draw a veil over I the weakness of individuals instead of punishing them. As to criticisms of the bill, continued the premier, it was quite understood that those wTic were disposed to be severe were those who had been pitiless. But he was of opinion that , it was necessary above all to unite with the Republicans if they wished to save I liberty and the republic. Consequently | he asked the senate to record a vote of I confidence in the government. » M. Franck Chauveau, republican, risked ' tha/t the biil be referred back to tho committee, in order to extend the amnes ty to those condemned by the high court Csenate). This was rejected by a ' vote of 175 to 101. Mr. Lecompte, Repub lican, then withdrew his amendment, ex tending the amnestj :., Dreyfus and the bill was then adopted by 23S to S4 votes. At the (lose of the sitting the senate decide,! by a vote of 37* to 71 to have M. Waldcck-Rousseau's speech iK>-;ied in th? communes throughout France. A CARD OF THANKS.

New Combine Will Not Fi^ht the" American Company, NEW YORK, June 2.—The organization of the National Sugar Refining company, of New Jersey, was completed today in Jersey City. The new company is a com bination of the National, Mollenhauer and Doest-her companies. The stock is divid ed into $10,000,000 of common and $10,TEu,' l» of preferred shares. The assets comprise all of the plants of the three companies in the combine and several million dol lars in cash. The articles of incorporation will be filed immediately in the office of the secre tary of state at Trenton. James H Post of B. H.

THE ST. PAUI, GLOBE, SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 1900. ■ HER CHARGES THEY WILL BE CONSIDERED AT A MEETING OF DIRECTORS JUNE 13. EASTERN LUTES' TROUBLES Passenger Rate Difficulties* Are Be ing Watched WltK Interest by the Roads in TJ-i- Locality. The directors of the Minnesota Transfer Railway company will consider the com plaints which have been made by indus tries located at the transfer against their switching rates, at a meeting to be held June 13. The matter of the new charges which have now been in" effect for about six weeks, was gone over by a committee from each of the Industries located at the transfer, and a statement submitted to the company. No intimation has yet been received as to whether the railway company will insist on a charge of $1.50 for loads, cr reduce the charge to the old rate of 25 cents. The matter of transfer rates has been causing trouble since a few days from the time Supt. Hastings took office and charge of the transfer railway's affairs.* Under the previous superintendent the switching rates were 25 cents a car for loads, either in or out. After the change the rate was advanced, arbitrarily, It is claimed, to 51.50. After about a month's operation, the new tariff became the subject of an at tack from the Industries, some thirty in number, affected by the increase of $1.25 I a car. A committee was appointed to In i vestigate the "reasonableness of the lu j crease and report. The matter was then taken up with the transfei railway com { pany and for the past three weeks noth | ing nev," has developed. It was an nounced yesterday, however, that the company could not take action on the switching charges until the regular meet ing of the directors. riome overtures have been made by tho industries located at the transfer, looking to an adjustment of the rates without further agitation. Tho transfer company, however, has seen fit to allow the matter to take its course. It was intimat-ed yesterday by a repre sentative of one of the transfer manu facturing firms, that the committee which Is handling the local industries side of the case had received little en courageroent. The firms interested, how ever, have taken a serious view ol' the situation and in the event that the com pany refuses to reduce the rates, will go before the railroad commission to ask why the transfer rates, which affect such articles as lumber, giain, and coal, should be changed without notice to the commiPsion and the permission of the commission, as required by law. It is claimed by the local firms thai the com mission will have the right of arbitrarily fixing a new rate in the event that the transfer company makes an effort to hold up the present tariff. EXCESS FARE ON FAST TRAINS. I.tnin Linen "Want a. Differential ns AKiilnxt the "Trunk*." St. Paul-Chicago lines are interested In the coming meeting of the joint passen ger committee in New York. The dif ferential lines east from Chicago are pre paring to make a fight for what they claim as their rights, and the rearrange ment of things which may result from their success is sure to have a direct ef fect on rates and conditions between St. Paul and Chicago and Eastenl points. Owing to the many fast trains which have been put on to Eastern points by the con nections of several of the St. Paul-Chi cago lines, the weak roads have been placed more than ever at a disadvantage. It Is learned that at the New York meet ing demands will be made that the stand ard lines exact excess fare on their fast trains to intermediate points, though charging the same through rates, which would have the effect of lessening the competition. In the failure of these lines to grant the demand, retaliatory measures will be resorted to, which will mean a rate war. ■\Vith twenty-five and twenty-six-hour trains between Chk-ago and New York, there is little chance for the differential lines to .secure any large share of the business without an excess fare on tne fast service. Through business naturally goes from the Northwest east, via the fastest routes, and one of the principal objections to the present state of things raised by the differential lines is that the introduction of twenty-flve-hour trains has cut them off from the business which formerly went over their lines from tne Northwest. Another proposition towards an adjust ment of the unequal conditions is that the standard lines either abandon their fast trains or allow the differential lines to quicken their time without losing their differential privilege. The temper of the standard lines is shown by the fact that the Wabash re cently made a material reduction In the running time of several of its principal trains. It is not expected that the de mands of the differential lines will be lis tened to. In the event that trouble en sues, the first effect will be to reduce the cost of transportation east from the Northwestern states. It is said, on good authority, that the weak lines between St. Paul and Chicago will support the de mands of the differential lines east of that point. RIVER FREIGHTS LIGHT. Steamboat Men Report a Falling Off From Expectations. River freight business has not opened up as satisfactorily as was expected for the spring season. During the few weeks preceding the opening of navigation, indi cations were that the river lines would have all the traffic they could handle as soon as boats could get through to St. Louis. Actual conditions have proved almost the opposite, however. The Dia mond Jo line has been doing a fair busi ness so far, but the amount "of freight handled has been less than last year. Lower river freight lines make the same report of business conditions. It is ex pected that the apparent lessening of traffic will prove only temporary, how ever, and river men predict a better movement of freight during the next two months. Passenger business has opened up in fairly good shape. In another ten days the regular summer rush for lower river points will begin. The Diamond Jo will put on all the boats the business requires and expects to handle more passengers than last season by a substantial major ity. DELVING INTO DETAILS. Huge Work Involved In Transfer of a Railroad. The Northern Pacific Is making a searching Investigation of the methods and records of the St. Paul & Duluth, ;ind during the past week the number or statements relating to ticket sales, earn ings and other matters which has gone to the Broadway general offices, from the top floors of the Globe building has been enormous. The transfer involves an im mense amount of detail work, of which people ordinarily have no comprehension. In many cases the records of the road have been investigated for ten years back, for the purpose of learning the re sult of operations along certain lines. Telegraph Company Won. SALT LAKE, Utah.

TO ST. ANTHONY PARK NORWEGIAN I.ITHEHAX SEMINARY SOON TO BE REMOVED. The United . Norwegian Lutheran church, representing 1,100 congregations throughout the country, with a total membership of 250,000, will hold its eleventh annual convention In Minneapo lis June 13-21. The sessions will be held at Bethlehem church, Fourteenth avenue south and Eighteenth street, of which Rev. Gerhard Rasmussen is pastor. This will be the third time that this organ ization has met in Minneapolis. It is expected that the educational Institutions of the church will occupy considerable of the time of the delegates. At present the theological and collegiate institutions are located in Minneapolis, but after this school year both will be removed from here. A site has been promised in St. Anthony Park for the seminary, and the college goes to North field. St. Olafs school, Northfleld, has up to this time been conducted as an In dependent institution, but It has now been decided that it shall be the regular college of the church. In regard to the college the matter of co-education will come up, and it would not be surprising to see a protracted discussion result. The prominent ministers of the church are divided on the matter. The faculty for the Institution will also be elected, as ..he one acting at present is only temporary. A professor for the seminary will also be elected, as a fourth Is badly needed. Home and foreign missions will require considerable attention, as these are al ways subjects of interest. There will alo be interesting financial reports. Since 1894 there has been no church debt, something which Is unusual with so large an organization. Th-e church is however, at the present time making an endeavor to raise $150,000, to be expended on the educational institutions. About half that sum will be required for the new seminary and $50,000 in making al terations at St. Olaf. It Is believed that the entire sum will have been realized by the time the convention is held. An Interesting feature of the conven tion will be the ordination to the minis try of eighteen candidates, recently grad uated frcm the seminary. In conjunction with the convention an English conference will be held. There are many ministers in this church who devote considerable time to English work. T is is recognized by the church. The United Church does not look to the Norwegian language in the L.'nited States as a permanent thing, but, on the other hand, believes it will some day have to give way to the En&tsh. The ministers are preparing for this, and are lending their assistance to bring about a gradual transition. EDITORS' EXCURSION PLANS. They Will »o Extern Canada In Fine Style.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Humane society yesterday a discussion of the policy of the society brought out the fact that more attention has been paid to cases of cruelty to children than to the protection of animals, which is not the intention of the society. A committee was appointed to confer with Special Agent Moak in regard to his duties, and to give instructions that hereafter more attention is to be paid to animals. The report of the treasurer showed a balance of $300.06 in the treasury. Dr. Libby explained that, in his opinion, there was no cruelty attaching to the system of hog-killing at present pursued at South St. Paul. Fear had been ex pressed that the hogs were plunged into boiling water before they were dead. He had investigtaed and found that the hogs were dead from three to four minutes before they were placed In boiling water. REMOVAL OF I?ALM GARDEN. It Is Strenuously Oppofled by Sev enth Sireef "Wewhantn. The business men on East Seventh street, from Wabasha to Jackson, are opposed to the granting of a license to the Palm Garden to. occu/py the building at 16 to 18 East Seventh street. Anton Welnholzer, ■ who conducts the resort of this name. at Ninth and Wa basha, has made application for a license to run a saloon at this number. He is said to have leased the entire building of three stories.

The objectors will file their protest before the advertisement of the application expireß Friday of next week.

NEW YORK. June 2.-The Financier says: "The banks of New York gained over $4,000,000 in cash last week as the result of their operations at the Interior and with the treasury. This was largely in excess of the known receipts of currency, but even more surprising was the expan sion of $7,347,600 in loans, with a coincident rise of $11,344,200 in deposits. As a usual thing unexpected changes of large volume in the statement can be traced to the operations of one or more large institu tions, but In the present case the ln c rease a seem to have been distributed Impartially among quite a number of prominent banks. There has been no demand for | funds other than normal, and the infer ence is that the sudden rise reflects one or two belated special operations pre viously mentioned in this analysis. "The loan total, now standing at $800, --268,600, is the largest in the history of the New York clearing house, and surpasses by nearly $6,500,000 the previous high water mark, recorded on July 8, last year. - The j loan item has expanded $12,500,000 since May 5 last. In 1899 the same period wit nessed a decline of $30,000,000, but begin ning In June there was a sudden Jump I In loans, which placed the total in July, as stated, at the highest point then known. "In the face of present conditions this Is remarkable. At this time last year the surplus of the banks was nearly $43, --000,000; two years ago it was nearly $52, --000,000. In each case it was the accumu lation of cash at the end of the spring months, and if this is to be repeated now the present excess of $20,000,000 will ; dwindle very rapidly. Still the banks ar« i holding their own for surplus, in spite of I the heavy demands made for increased ! reserve requirements is actually rising. The approach of the crop season will I probably witness a liquidation of the j heavy volume of outstanding commit | rnents, although that gold will come from . £urope is as yet an undecided point. ; Bank credit is usually low fa May and gold from the Klondike will arrive soon Per capita circulation will fee arriving Boon despite exports of gold, but the money of the country is m use by the eve"> T^ PreSent tOtal -how ever, in New York is nearly $27,000,000 E£? er r.maX mUm re P°rt^ on March 8. 1599 Even on that date the B urplus cash in banks was over $4,000,000 in- excess of what is held at present."
