A SENSIBLE SUMMER
A May to Obtain the Urratem Benefit
lor the Least Money.
A little woman went to a certain Ohau
tauqiut resort last summer, and experi
enced a most economical and cheerful way
of living. She was at that time in a de
bilitated condition with poor digestion,
which made it imperative that ehe have
the right kind of food and yet such that
was nourishing and strengthening, "so I
took an equipment of fresh, crisp Grape-
Nuts. During that summer I lived on
Grape-Nuts with a little cream or milk,
and some ripe fruit such as 1 could pro
cure.
Many meals were made of delicious
Grape-Nuts alone. 1 experienced a pe
culiar clearness of intellects and a bodily
endurance never known before on the old
time diet of meat, biscuits, butter, etc.
it was a continual delight, the healthy
way of living combined with simplicity,
economy, and the highest utility, in
curring no restaurant or board blli, and
returning at ihe end of the summer, with
money in my pocket, realizing that I had
lived sumptuously every day. for 1 had
lived on the most perfect food known,
and was renewed In health, strength and
mental power, and had acquired v com
plexion &o clear and fresh tinted, that I
was termed a picture of health, and ft It
myself to be a happy woman."

ECLIPSE SHEFFIELD
American Products Are Considered
, Superior Now.
STEEL TRUST'S STEAMER FLEET
Import That It Will Have Its Own
.... .Skills Like the Standard
Oil Company.
New York Sun Spool*! Servian
New York. March 14.—The steel manu
facturers of Great Britain are greatly
alarmed over the enormous growth of the
American steel industry in the last three
or four years'. The organization of Mr.
Morgan's billion dollar steel corporation
has again stirred them up, and an exodus
of Sheffield firms is threatened. The firm
of William Jessop & Sons at Sheffield al
ready has decided to establish works for
the manufacture of crucible steel in the
United States and to abandon that branch
of the business in Great Britain. The
iirm has found that it can no longer com
pete with the Americans.
American products are now considered
superior to those of Sheffield, and the
American manufacturers can undersell the
British, notwithstanding they pay higher
wages to all classes of employes. Raw
material can be obtained here more cheap
ly, and the Americans have labor-saving
machinery, which does away with many of
the hand processes still in use in Sheffield.
Steel Trust Fleet.
Another development has caused consid
erable alarm among the steel manufac
turers of the continent. It is reported
that the United States Steel corporation is
to build a fleet of cargo steamers similar
to that owned by the Standard Oil com
pany to carry its products to foreign lands.
It is already able to undersell English
manufacturers of steel rails.
London. March 14.—Owing to American
competition, the Northeastern Steel works
of Middlesboro is unable to declare a divi
dend for the first time in sixteen years.
Berlin, March 14.—Herr Baaro. director
of the Bochum Iron works, denies that his
company has entered into any arrange
ment with the steel trust. It is contended
that America cannot produce rails as
cheaply as Germany.
FUEL FROM A LABORATORY
SAID TO BE BETTER THAX COAL.
rheiuliat Discovers a Process for
Producing Artificial
Fuel.
M»w York Sun Spaclmf Smrvtom
Lowell, Mass., March 14.—Dr. George
M. Randall, a chemist of this city, has
discovered a method of producing an arti
ficial fuel, resembling bituminous coal, at
a cost much less than the price of coal
In the states where it is mined. The
new substance is composed of mineral
products now abundantly distributed
throughout the earth.
It has been tested in the engines of a
New England city fire department, and
in smelting iron ore in large quantities.
It was demonstrated to produce from 17
to 21 per cent more heat units, pound
for pound, than bituminous coal.
WHEAT DEAL WITH RUSSIA
IHGED BY ST. PETERSBURG PRESS
Suggestion Is Renewed of a Combine
to Control the European
Market.
Mmw Ym*k Sim Mmmolml Smrvlom
Washington, March 14. —The state de
partment has received information that
newspapers in St. Petersburg have been
publishing opinions that Russia and the
United States ought to cease their com
petition in the wheat markets of Europe
and enter into a virtual combination by
which both may reap an advantage not
now enjoyed. Some of these newspaper
utterances have been commented upon
by Consul General Guenther of Frank
fort, who says:
The United States should note that danger
threatens her from Germany. The agrarians
are seeking to compensate Russia at the ex
pense or the United States, and the latter
should enter into an agreement with Russia
that would avoid unrestricted competition. A
tariff war between Russia and Germany may
be Inevitable, though it would prove disas
trous to both countries.

THEY FEEL HIS LOSS
Legislators Pass Resolutions Re
- specting Harrison's Death.
INTRODUCED BY MR. STOCKWELL
A Hill Introduced Directing the
< oiiipilutioii of Towimhlp
Lam.
Benjamin Harrison's memory was hon
ored by the state senate this moruing by
the adoption of resolutions. The repub-'
lican members seemed to have overlooked
the" matter and it was left to Senator
Stockwell to introduce the resolutions
shortly after the session opened. They
were passed, the roll of the senate being
called as.an additional remark of respect
and were as follows:
Whereas, Benjamin Harrison, patriot and
statesman, loyal and conscientious citizen,
honorable and able public official, is dead;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the senate, the house concur
ring, That we extend to his bereaved family
our sympathy and to the citizens of oar com
mon country we commend his life as a noble
example of exalted American citizenship, and
that an attested copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to the members of his family.
Secretary Langum sent the resolutions
to the house which shortly afterward re
ported its concurrence.
Township l.nws.
In response to a demand for the com
pilation of laws relating to the duties of
township officers, Senator Miller has a bill
directing the attorney general to compile
such laws and appropriating $900 for print
ing 5,000 copies to be sold at $1.50 each.

A bill to create a state highway com
mission came from the roads and bridges
companies.
To authorize the railroad and warehouse
commission to designate country terminal
points for the inspection and weighing of
grain, Senator E. J. Jones has proposed
a bill. By it a terminal point may be
established anywhere at the request of
the owners or managers of elevators and
mills, who must pay the expenses of the
service. Senator Greer presented a bill
to authorize the secretary of state to
enter into a ten-year compact with the
Keefe-Davldson Law Book company for
the publication of supreme court reports,
to be sold by the state for $1.35 per
volume.
Roverud la Facetious.
Senator Roverud created much amuse
ment by moving that the title of S. F.
287 should be changed so as to read: "A
bill for the temporary relief of Russell
Sage." The multimillionaire has hith
erto been unable to find any one willing
to cash the bonds issued during the early
history of the staet by Reed's Landing.
The village has since been dissolved and
the attempt has been made to recover
from the townsite into which it was

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.
GAVE A DAY TO IT
The House Discusses Board of Con-
trol Plan Thoroughly.
JACOBSON'S REPLY TO PETERSON
An Attempt by Torion to Shut art
Debute Meeta With a
Proteat.
The house spent nearly all day in de
bate oil the board of control bill.. Mr.
Jacobsou finished his speech at the con
clusion of the morning session, and Mr.
Peterson of Hennepiu occupied nearly an
hour this afternoon in a reply. Mr. Tor
fcon attempted to shut off debate and get
a vote before the noon recess, but with
drew his motion in response to protests.
Mr. Dobbin called attention to
the increasing amounts being voted to
state institutions and declared that the
state might find itself compelled at some
time in the near future to institute a
policy of retrenchment. He questioned
the fairness of that argument by which
it was contended that activity in politics
would be made the basis for preferment
on the board of control. Mr. Dobbin did
not profess an intimate knowledge of the
present system, but said it had recently
come to his o-bservatiqn that one institu
tion, sheltering 400 inmates purchased
meats at retail and coffee in lots suffi
cient for two months, notwithstanding
the deterioriation that always takes place
in roasted coffee.
Mr. Sweet* ldeatt.
Mr. Sander favored the bill. Mr. Sweet
opposed it. The latter maintained that
the educational institutions of the state
had not been brought within the juris
diction of the board, and to be consistent
he held this should be done. He would
not favor giving the board direction and
management of the university, for in
stance. The present system, he said, was
as near perfect as long years of experi
ence and intelligent study could make
it. If a board of purchase could be
provided for, that would accord with Mr.
Sweet's ideas, but a board of purchase
was by no means synonymous with a
board of control. Mr. Sweet named a
prominent Minneapolis lumberman, and
inquired if any one supposed the services
of a man of his caliber could be engaged
for $3,500 a year.
Wolfer Quoted.
Mr. Pope quoted Warden Wolfer as
saying in the presence of Governor Van
Sant that a board of control would ac
complish necessary and beneficial re
forms; that it would save the state $200,
--000 annually. The scheme had been recom
mended by both Governor Land and Gov
ernor Van Sant. Mr. Sweet had not in
formed himself, if he assumed that there
was an absence of demand for this bill.
Mr. Jacobson, "the watchdog of the
treasury," declared that it was neces
sary; so had Auditor Dunn. The services
of both of these gentlemen were com
mented upon in complimentary terms.
The Opposition's Argument.
The argument chiefly employed by the
opposition seemed to be that the charges
of the state were cared for well enough
as it was. Mr. Pope concluded by re
ferring to the growing need of economy
in administrating the state's affairs.
The division of the question appealed to
Mr. Kelly as being unfair. If the basis of
the bill was economical administration,
why were the educational institutions to
be excluded? They were the most expen
sive of all to maintain, and therefore
those which should be most logically
brought within the jurisdiction of a board
of control. The board of control would
purchase supplies for the University it
would systematize its business interests
and those of the normal schools, it would
introduce changes and reforms, but it
would not in any way interfere with the
curriculum of either normal schools or
the university.
Mr. W'hitford favored the bill. The dis
charge of the various state boards, he
said, did not mean that superintendents
and department heads should not be re
tained.
Jacobaon'g Reply to Peterson.
|Alr. Torson. author of the bill, resigned
the closing of the debate to Mr. Jacobson,
who devoted himself chiefly to replying to
Mr. Peterson's attack of yesterday. He
said the welfare of the inmates in the
various state institutions would be en
hanced by the new departure. Xot only
would each superintendent and employe
perform his duties as well as in the past,
but he would consider himself upon trial
and a general increase In efficiency would
result.
The Tammany Argument.
Mr. Peterson was very earnest yesterday
in his contention that the outcome of the
revolutionary methods proposed would be
a small state Tammany. Mr. Jacobson
pointed out that the only inhibition
against "politics" found in the old law
required the governor to appoint members
of boards from different political parties,
and quoted stringent provisions of the new
bill, stating that the friends of the meas
ure would consent to any amendment Mr.
Peterson might propose with a view to
eliminating "politics."
With seventy-five or a hundred mem
bers of state boards active in the politi
cal field. Mr. Jacobson felt that consider
ably more political power was put forth
than would be the case if a board of con
trol undertook to bring pressure to bear.
As to Mr. Peterson's remark that if in
formation from state boards was not cor
rect, it was comparatively easy to obtain
accurate data, Mr. Jacobson declared that
never in his experience had this been
found true. There was no source from
which reliable information could be had,
because every report was tainted with
prejudice. This was shown beyond all
question by the fact that year after year
the various state boards asked for amounts
ranging from 75 to 100 per cent more than
needed.
PETERSON DOWX OX IT
He Strongly Attacks the Board of
Control Plan.
For three hours and a half yesterday
afternoon the house dwelt upon the prob
lem of replacing the present system of
state institution management with a board
of control. Not a single vote was taken
during that period. There has not been
so thorough, so consistent, or so intelli
gent a discussion of business by the house
this session. It was finally decided to
carry the discussion over until to-day.
The demonstration by those -who are un
friendly to the bill took the form of
amendments excepting certain institu
tions. Mr. Peterson of Hennepin county,
however, criticised the board of control
scheme unsparingly, denouncing it as an
effort to construct and perpetuate a huge
political machine. He insisted that little
improvement could be worked through the
abolition of the present managing boards
and emphasized the present standing of
state institutions, making out that they
compared very favorably with those of
any state iv the union. It was declared
objectionable that the bill placed no limit
upon expenditures by the board of con
trol. Advocates of that plan had claimed
that an ultimate economy of $200,000
would be secured by the passage of the
bill; they" had * failed to show that more
than $40,000 would be saved. .
A series of amendments offered by
Messrs. Laybourn and Morley removed the
schools for the deaf an.d blind and the
state public school at Owatonna from the
operation of the bill. "'.*..',.
The discussion was initiated by Mr. Tor
son, chairman of the committee on gen
eral legislation. He confined himself to
the question of, economy, arguing that. uni
formity and simplicity, such as the board
of control plan possessed, woold mean a
difference of $200,000 annually.
Mr. Ward answered reports in circula
tion that the governor was using his of
fice to influence legislation in favor of a
board of control. The lowa scheme w.as
indorsed by Mr. Riley, who formerly lived
in the Hawkeye state.
The incompetency of those in charge of
the present system was very boldly as
serted by Mr. Jacobson though in doing so
he declared himself anxious to avoid dis
paragement of public officials. Trustees
of institutions very unwillingly communi
cated to the legislature d«.ta upon which
a decision might be reached as to the
needs of those institutions. The consid
erations that would move the board would
be those allied with the interests of the
state; they would not be local. Members
could then sit in the legislature aud pass
fearlessly upon any question submitted.
AGREE TO DISAGREE
The Conference Committee on Re
apportionment Gives It Up.
A NEW SENATE TRIO NAMED
The Houne Conferees Have Failed
to Make Any Report
mm Vet.
The conference committee on reappor
tionment agreed to disagree after its
third session yesterday afternoon. The
senate conferees so reported this morn
ing, and Senator Someryille moved that
the senate insist on its amendment and
that another committee be appointed. The
motion was carried without opposition,
and the chair appointed Senators Daugh
erty, E. J. Jones and Knatvold.
Senator Somerville took the opportunity
to state that he had secured signatures
of twenty-six senators and representa
tives out of thirty-nine, coming from the
proposed second and seventh districts,
to a paper stating their preference for
the Somerville amendment, -which places
Redwood county l n the second district
and Waseca in the first. A similar paper
was signed by twenty-one senators and
representatives out of twenty-four com
ing from the first district.
The members hailing from the new sev
enth district, who favor the amendment,
are Senators E. J. Jones, Reeves, Young,
Grue and Xixon and Representatives
Ofsthun, Hillmond and Gandrud. Those
from the new second district are Senators
Somerville, Miller, Meilicke, Vei3selman,
Me Arthur and McGovern and Representa
tives Potter, Grass, Peterson, S. D. Hin

Riley and Armstrong, J. A.
The house conferees did not make their
report this morning.
ARE NOT VERY HOPEFUL
FRIEXDS OF SHORT SESSIOX
The Home Will Take the Matter
Up and Settle It To
morrow.
The early adjournment resolution will
come up for decision in the house to
morrow. The disposition is to settle it
then and there.
Present indications are that it will be
voted down, and that the session will last
the full ninety days. Friends of the reso
lution said this morning that they did
not have much hope of its passage. Too
many house members have pet bills which
they are anxious to get through, and
many more want to stay on general prin
ciples.
It is a question whether the governor
will feel warranted in calling an extra
session if the legislature sits ninety days
this winter.
MAKE IT « PER CENT
Senator Miller's Idea Regarding; Ex
' press Co. Gross EarnlnKM Tax.
The Nichols bill, Imposing a gross earn
ings tax on the earnings of express com
panies, has been attacked on the ground
that it exempts the companies from pay
ment of all other taxes in consideration of
a 5 per cent gross earnings tax. The bill
has been recommended to pass the house.
The bill makes no material change in the
present law except to raise the tax from
3 to 5 per cent. Senator Miller has intro
duced the same bill in the senate and has
it on general orders. Senator Miller says
it is better to tax only the gross earn
ings tax accordingly. He will propose to
amend the present bill by raising the tax
to 6 per cent to make up for the exemption
of real property. . -
FAVORS PAROLE Bill.
Senate State Prison Committee Will
Recommend It.
The senate committee on state prison
has decided to present a favorable report
on Deming's parole bill, which is now
generally known as the Younger brothers"

ANYTHINGFORPEACE
Sanguilly Now Favors Accepting
the Platt Amendment.
A CONFLICT WOULD END ALL
Wood Report* That the Delegate*
Simwly Waul to Convince
the IVoplc.
Mmw York Sun Spaclml Smrvlam
Havana, March 14. —Senor Sangutlly
says that the convention is now in a fix,
as, although it seems that the obvious
course under existing conditions is for
the convention to say that it was not
elected to accept conditions that amount
to ceding territory, nevertheless the peo
ple, by making demonstrations in favor of
the convention, expressing confidence iv
its action, and promising to support it,
virtually give the convention power to
handle the situation. Senor Sanguilly
adds that it is better for the country
to keep quiet and accept anything rather
than provoke a conflict, which would end
everything.
The attitude of Senor Sanguilly has
radically changed. A week ago he wanted
the convention to dissolve. Now he pre
fers the acceptance of all the terms of
the Platt resolution as being the safer
course.
Eight other delegates deny that there
is any tendency to weaken. They say
that the convention will not accept the
American conditions, and though many
telegrams had been received, expressing
absolute confidence in the future action
of the convention, many specifically ob

Delegates say that the time for the
convention or Cuba to show gratitude has

ROOT IS HOPEFIL
Cuban Delegates Merely Want to
Convince Their People.
lf*v> York Sun Special Serviot
Washington, March 14.—1t is said at the
war department that Senator Proctor does
not go to Cuba in any official capacity.
It is expected, however, that he will
talk with some of the delegates to the
constitutional convention to impress upon
them the sincerity of the president in
his intentions to give Cuba her inde
pendence. He will point out that it is
really to Cuba's interest that she agree
to the relations as outlined by the sen
ate.
Secretary Root is sanguine over the out
come of the relations question. General
Wood's reports have all indicated tha.t
the delegates merely desired to talk about
the relations and satisfy their constit
uents that they were not trying to throw
the island over to the Americans.

BAKER-HOWARD FEUD ENDS
Some of the Fighters Are Enlisting
in the Army.
London, Ky., March 14.—The factions in
the Baker-Howard feud in Clay county
have been pacified, including the Whites,
the allies of the Howards, and the Gar
rads and the Philpots, the allies of the
Baker clan. Through the influences of
E. B. Tinsley, the new circuit judge, the
warring factions have agreed to lay down
their arms and to let the law take its
course., Already twenty-two of the war
riors have enlisted in the army at the
recruiting station here. Each side dis
arms its followers. The principals guar
antee the personal safety of the princi
pals on the other side.
The feud dates back to about 1844, when
Dr. Baker killed his brother-in-law, Dan
iel Bates. Both Bates and Baker had
married into the White family, but when
Baker killed Bates he put himself under
the protection of General Garrard. Since
then the warfare has cost many lives.

AN EXTRA SESSION
Governor Shaw May Call One to
Provide for Colleges.
EXIGENCIES CAUSED BY FIRE
Legislature Would AUo Choose a
Senator and Dolliver "Wouia
Be the Man.
Special to The Journal.
Dcs Moines, lowa, March 14.—When
Governor Shaw returns to the city to-mor
row he will consider the proposition of
calling an extra session of the legislature
to provide for the necessities of the state
university and agricultural college.
It will be impossible to take care of the j
university in any other way. Of course!
scattered rooms may be rented for the
literary societies and the departments
that have been burned out. with the ex
ception of the medical department. It
will impossible to provide for that so
that It will be in ordinarily fair running
condition without the erection of a large
building for that purpose. There is no
way in which this can be erected without
an appropriation by the legislature. The
$16,000 available in the providential con
tingency fund would be thrown away,
some of the regents think, in the erection
of a temporary building.
The legislature could, in four or five
days, provide for the buildings that must
be erected at these two institutions and
work could be commenced on them this
spring, thus gaining at least a year in the
use of the buildings and saving the insti
tutions from confusion and interference
In their work. .._. ~<is&
It has been suggested to the governor
by aome of the friends of the university
and agricultural college that he should
communicate with the members of the
legislature and ask them if they are will
ing to come here for this purpose and no
other and if they deem it the wisest solu
tion of this difficult problem. If this was
done the question of repairing the dam
age by fire and making these institutions
good would be settled upon iU merits In
dependent of other considerations and
would be well out of the way by the time
the next legislature meets.
If the legislature should be called in
extra session at this time it would have
to elect a United States aenator. Sen
ator Dolliver's appointment is good only
until the meeting of the legislature. It
does not appear now that this would have
any bearing upon the question because at
this time there is no opposition whatever
to the election of Senator Dolliver.
