ENGLAND WILL MARE THE MINES \OF THE RAND PAY FOR THE WAR
HOW BRITAIN WILL
PAY COST OF WAR
Government Decides to Raise $250,000,000 by
Taxing the Transvaal Gold Mines—Tre
mendous Roar Coming.
iMmw York Sun Sjtmolml Sarvlcm
London, June 13.— is learned on good authority that the British government
has decided to levy $250,000,000 on the Transvaal gold mines toward paying the cost
of the war. This would pay about one-half of the war expenses. Sir David Barbour,
„ ex-Indian finance minister, who was commissioned to report on the taxable capacity
of the mines, advised Mr. Chamberlain to levy $175,000,000, but Mr. Chamberlain had
a consultation with Mr. Milner and increased the maximum to the amount stated.
Mr. Barbour's report is awaited with the keenest interest here in political and
financial circles.
This recommendation, when known, is certain \o cause consternation among
Kaffir stockholders, who fancied that the idea of taxing the mines had been aban
doned. -
JOYAL SHOT TO KILL
Wife Murder Almost Done at St.
Cloud.
MRS. JOYAL WOUNDED TWICE
Miots Fired at v Second Woman Miss
Their Mark— Sequel of an
Estrangement. - '
Bpecial to The Journal.
SL Cloud, Minn., June 13. — Adelarde
Joyal, a French Canadian employed in the
car shops, would now be a double mur
derer had his aim been true. At 9:45 this
morning he met his wife on the river
bank and shot her twice, one bullet pass
ing through the left side of her neck and
the other into her left shoulder. He
fired a third time but missed.
The Joyals have been living apart for
some time and divorce proceedings, insti
tuted by the wife, are now pending. She
charges cruel and inhuman treatment and
drunkenness, and there are also serious
religious differences.
To-day when husband and wife met, by
accident it is supposed, Joyal asked her
for a kiss and called uj>on her to return
home and live with him. She refused.
He grasped her by the arm and fired two
thots at closa range from a 38-caliber
revolver. Mrs. Joyal broke away and
escaped the third shot. She ran into the
home of Mrs. Kranz, a neighbor, and
Joyal in hot pursuit fired his two remain
ing shots at Mrs. Kranz who was outside
the door. Fortunately his aim was poor
and the woman was unhurt.
The police found Joyal hidden in some
Bhrubbery and easily effected his arrest,
although he had reloaded his gun and
probably had planned to make a fight.
Mrs. Joyal was taken to St. Raphael's hos
pital and will no doubt speedily recover.

Was Stern a Defaulter?
Berlin, June 13.—Further reliable news about the death of Louis Stern, the former
United States commercial agent at Bamberg, Bavaria, who committed suicide June 10
by shooting himself, shows he had not made any returns to the state department
during the last eighteen months, but if he owed money to the United State* it is
only a small amount.
On the other hand, a number of people in the United States for whom Stern had
collected on estates in this country have entered complaints that he had not re
mitted the amounts collected. A judgment for 2,000 marks against Stern was recently
rendered by the Bamberg court, and the deceased committed suicide the very day
Ihe 2,000 marks was due. Stern had accepted a fine commercial position at Bamberg
Wt the firm nullified the arrangement when it learned of the judgment.

ONE LEG
Indian Agent Richards' Ex
planation of One of the
Charges Against Him.
Special to The Journal.
Washington, June 13.—Indian Inspector
Tinker's report on charges against In
dian Agent Richards, at Fort Berthold,
N. D., were received at the interior de
partment to-day and laid on Secretary
Hitchcock's desk. Information about the
report was refused, but it is intimated
that it is not unfavorable. Among the
charges made was one that he gave liquor
to some Indians who were cleaning a cis
tern on the reservation. Another was
that Richards was lax in attending to the
Indians in his charge in that he did not
get around much. Richards' explanation
of the latter charge is that the agent
has only one leg and can get over the
reservation only in a buggy. Tinker's
findings in the liquor charge were not
learned.
Inspector Graves' report on the charges
against Agent Harding, at Yankton, S.
D., has been in the department some time.
He recommended Harding's removal and
it was stated when the report was re
ceived that the recommendation would
probably be followed. The delay indi
cates, however, that efforts are being
made to keep him in the service. It is
said some action will be taken in a week
or ten days.

A STRUGGLE IN STEEL
CONTROL OF INDEPENDENT CO/S
Fierce Contest Between the Trust

Special to The Journal.
New York, June 13.—The big advances in
the shares of the Independent Steel company
to-day, including Colorado Fuel & Iron and
Tennessee Coal & Ircn, ?ave rise to a score
of rumors, among them that a fierce contea:
was on for control of the independent con
cerns by two powerful syndicates—the United
States Steel corporation and the Pennsyl
vania railroad. .
President Schwab of the steel corporation
has secured control of the Bethlelem Steel
company, md the Pennsylvania railroad ha 3
purchased a controllh g interest in the Penn
sylvania Steel company. Negotiations are
now on for control o! the Diamond State and
Cambria Steel companies. The Pernsylvania
railroad has already secured a large block of
Diamond State Steel stock. It is said that an
attempt is also being made to buy out th 3
Tennessee Coal & Iron company ard the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company, tut this re
port cannot be confirmed here. The stock of
the latter company has advanced about 15
points sine? yesterday, and Tennessee was

OPPOSITION
TO BABCOCK
Voices Raised Against His
Proposed Tariff Law.
EAST AGAINST WEST
la This Manner Will the Sections

CONGRESSMAN IN CRITICISE
He Sarym the Babcock Bill Will Be
Acceptable to the
Trusts.
M^T^H* T>%r Jo? 1 Bureau. Room *3. Potl
JButlding, Washington' „ f :>, ...;.-.-^
Washington, June 13.—The men and the
interests opposing the Babcock bill are
now having their inning. The American
Tariff league, and the Home Market club
composed of the large manufacturers and
high protective Interests, generally, of
New England, have denounced it in sweep
ing terms. A member of the Pennsyl
vania republican delegation in congress,
speaking, it is understood, for the others,
has been interviewed in opposition to it.
Congressman Dalzell, of Pittsburg, mem
ber of the house committee on rules, has
also scoken against it, and has been fol
lowed by Chairman Payne of the ways
and means committee. Representative
Taylor, of Ohio, and by other well-known
republicans of the eastern states.
Already it begins to appear that the
struggle in congress next winter, which
is almost inevitable, will show the eastern
states arrayed as a unit against the bill
and the states of the middle west largely
in favor of it. If there are any friends of
the bill in the east, they have not thus
far raised their voices. This division of
forces was to have been expected, for the
east is the home of the men who think
they have most to fear from any seem
ing departure from the principle of high
protection. The bulk of the country's
manufacturing is carried on there. In
the west, however, where business in
terests are more diversified, and where
high protection has been at times quite
stoutly opposed by loyal republicans, as
witness the state of party sentiment when
the McKinley bill was an issue, any re
moval of duties, especially if the trusts
are to be injured as a result, will be wel
comed with loud acclaim.
It is still possible, as has been said in
these dispatches, that the party leaders
will get together next winter and prevent
the Babcock bill from, becoming crystal
lized into law; but it is hardly possible
that anything can be done which will pre
vent congress from debating the proposi
tion for a considerable portion of the ses
sion.
If conditions in the Philippines, Cuba
and Porto Rico were settled to the satis-j
faction of the country, there might be dan
ger that the Babcock idea would precipi
tate a revolt within the republican party
even more serious than that which accom
panied the McKinley bill. But our for
eign affairs are in such a nebulous state,
and the future is so filled with uncertain
ty because of that fact, that every bit of
cohesive D&wer which the party can de
velop will be brought strongly to bear,
with the probable result that the tariff will
have a secondary place in the next cam
paigns. Under certain conditions it may
not appear at all, although the high pro
tectionists will hold that a prophesy of
this sort is almost too good to be true.
Should it appear, however, republicans in
the western states will be prevented from

Special to The Journal.
New York, June 13.—Homer Wise, pres
ident of the Union Lead and Oil company,
which waa incorporated a short time ago
with a caaital of $15,000,000 for the pur
pose of absorbing the American Linseed
Oil company, Issued the following state
ment to-day:
Mr. Rockefeller and his associates having

control of the company by the substitution of
directors representing his interests, the Union

The strength and activity of both the
common and preferred stock of tire Na

color to the report that Rockefeller in

company will be merged with the American
Linseed company.

WHY MISS NOBLE IS FIRST
BORROWED PHRASES NOT MARKED
Miss Sanford, One of the Judges on
Thought, Recognized Grady
and Others.
Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., June 13.—iAn impor
tant announcement was made in this city
yesterday by Ralph E. Gentle of the South
Dakota agricultural college, president of
the Western League of Oratory, in con
nection with the recent interstate ora
torical contest held in this city. At that
time it was announced that J. F. Jenson
of the agricultural college of Fargo took
first place, and Miss Edith Noble of
Mitchell, S. D., second, but it seems that
later developments have changed things
very materially.
The judges on thought and composition
were Miss Sanford of the University of
Minnesota, Professor Ruhring, superin
tendent of schools at Winona, and Rev.
Mr. Simmons -of Minneapolis. Miss San
ford failed to give the percentages on
'The New South," which was the subject
of the oration of Mr. Jenson. President
Gentle says that A. W. Fowler, secretary
of the Western League, told him he had
received a personal letter from Miss San
ford in which she said she had placed
Mr. Jenson second. President Gentle's
suspicions were aroused by other circum
stances, and he determined to remain in
Grand Forks till he could thoroughly
probe the matter.
After telegraphing and writing for sev
eral days, a letter was received from
Miss Sanford seating that she had not
marked "The New South" on the grounds
of plagiarism, several quotations from
Grady and others not having been ack
nowledged by the author. President Gen
tle therefore announced yesterday that
there was nothing left for him to do but
change the percentage totals to agree
with this' fact, as follows: First Miss
Edith Noble, Mitchell, oration, ' "Tito
Malema"; second, E. D. Sehoenberger
Yankton, oration, "The Goal of Evolu
tion"; third, S. Steenberg. University of
North Dakota, oration, "The Brother
hood of Man"; fourth, J. F. Jenson Fargo
oration, "The New South."
The matter is arousing a great deal of
comment, but President Gentle is firm in
the opinion that strict justice has been
done to all, as it would not be possible
to give Mr. Jenson first place when his
oration had been thrown out ,on the
grounds of plagiarism.

CLAYTON-BULWER AGREEMENT
Abrogation of This Treaty Is In
volved in the Pending Chi
nese Situation.
Special to The Journal.
Washington, June 13.—There "will be no
concert of the oowers on the Question of
guaranteeing the Chinese indemnity. The
foreign diplomats in Washington repre
senting the nations directly interested
have been conducting an investigation for
several weeks to ascertain definitely the
attitude of the United States and after a
most thorough inquiry they have unwill
ingly been forced to the conclusion that
this government will not recede from the
position it has taken. It can be positive
ly stated that the continental European
governments have been advised that the
United States will stand with England in
opposition to a guaranty and all hope
has been abandoned of reaching concerted
action.
The position of the United States Is ex
plained as largely influenced by a desire
to establish close relations with Great
Britain at this time for the purpose of
using the friendship when congress next
winter abrogates the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. The Chinese question is being
used, it is said in diplomatic circles, to
pave the way for such an emergency and
to make sure that Great Britain raises
no serious trouble over the aotion of con
gress. This is the view held by foreign
diplomats resident in Washington.

THIS EVENING.
Vaudeville entertainment at Auditor
ium, St. Paul.
TO-MORROW.
All day business session of head camp.
The day will be devoted by the St. Paul
committee to a personally conducted ex
cursion for visitors to Lake Minnetonka.
This outing will include special trains
from St. Paul and Minneapolis, a steamer
cruise of the lake, dinner at Hotel St.
Louis, music and dancing.
Evening—Parade of Foresters in Mm
St. Paul came within an ace of missing
the much heralded parade of Foresters
altogether to-day. When it was finally
pulled off, some four hours behind sched
ule time, it proved by far the greatest
attraction the visiting Woodmen have put
up for the capital city. The narrow es
cape from a loss of this great feature was
caused entirely by the indifference of the
St. Paul Woodmen to the needs of the
officers of the troops at Camp Northcott.
The long and tedious delay borne by
the thousands of people who thronged the
streets of St. Paul was in no way due to
any failure of the officers or men at Camp
Northcott to do their part. When re
veille sounded in camp this morning the
men were out of their cots with a bound,
and long before 8 o'clock, the time when
they were scheduled to start on their
march into St. Paul to join the other
Woodmen at 9:30, were in their ranks and
battalions were formed by Brigadier Gen
eral Liggett and Adjutant Ringer.
SteedU-ss Officerx.
But there was a different scene in the
officers' quarters. The general commit
tee on entertainment for the visitors at
St. Paul, of which Mr. Monro6 is chair
man, had made arrangements, according to
their report to General Mitchell, com
manding officer at the camp, for horses for
the sixteen officers and for two other
steeds for Head Consul Northcott and
the head clerk, Major C. W. Hawes. At
8 o'clock there was not a horse in camp.
The officers at headquarters notified the
committee at St. Paul by telephone that
none of the officers mounts. A most
affable answer came back to the effect
that the nags were on their way to the
camp and should have arrived.
Half an hour later General Mitchell
again telephoned to St. Paul and said that
the steeds had not yet arrived, and that
the men who were waiting in line, as well
as the officers, were much put out by the
delay. A very curt reply was received,
the gentleman on the other end of the
line, a member of the St. Paul committee,
who had had the matter in charge, volun
teering the information that they had
done all in their power and could not help
matters if the arrangements were not
satisfactory to the officers in the camp.
Nine o'clock brought the first of the
horses into camp, and the indignation of
the officers, which had been rising grad
ually since early yesterday, was expressed
in language about as forcible as their
vocabularies would permit.
SaddlealeßH Horses.
There were just five horses in the first
consignment furnished by the St. Paul
committee, and they were, as one officer
expressed it, "the tackiest lot of nags"
ever offered by a city to its guests. There
was not a good steed in the lot, and not
one of them was provided with either
saddle or bridle. But these horses, hacl
they been well equipped, or equipped at
all, would not answer for the eighteen
men. The St. Paul committee was in
formed that unless every horse promised
for the camp was furnished in short
order, not an officer would accompany the
parade to the city. It is probable that
the men would have refused to march
without their officers.
Nortlicott Wait* for a Horse.
Governor Northcott had been informed
of conditions at the camp, but he came
out, anyway, with the head clerk, and
was compelled to wait about the camp
for nearly an hour before his horse ar
rived. It was too fractious an animal for
the head consul, who Is not as sprightly
as some of the younger officers in camp,
and another long wait followed.
At 10:20 fourteen horses had been se
cured, and word came from St. Paul
that that was the beet the committee
could do. Every available mount in the
capital city had been "cinched" by the
St. Paul Foresters themselves, who man
aged to put into line their whole civil
staff of officers, including the aides and
inspectors, twenty-six men in all, on
twenty-six of as fine horses as St. Paul
can furnish. There was none left for the
guests.
Fair Promises.
The camp officers would not have felt
such chagrin at their treatment at the
hands of their hosts had it not been for
the fact that the committee in charge of
things at St. Paul led them to believe
that everything had been arranged for and
that nothing was wanting, until the very
last minute, when it was impossible for
the officers to procure horses on their own
personal account. It was a deliberate
throw down at the hands of the St. Paul
Woodmen, and the officers feel it deeply.
With only fourteen horses In camp,
some of the officers were compelled to
miss the parade, and Brigadier General
Anderson, acting quartermaster general,
and the commissary general gave up
places in order to accommodate other offi
cers. These officers, with tfie command
ing general's orderly, G. A. Crawford,
who also should hava bad a place with
the general, were compelled to take the
street car to St. Paul or miss the parade.
The ladies in the camp, who were to have
been provided carriages to the city, had
to call on their husbands, who engaged
hacks for them.
(nu«e of the Trouble
The trouble at Camp Northcott, caused
by the negligence of the St. Paul com-
mittee in supplying the needs or' the visit
ors, commenced yesterday, when a case
very similar to that of this morning near
ly caused the abandonment of the dress
parade. The committee had promised to
furnish horses for the officers in camp
and for Head Consul Northcott and Gov
ernor Van Sant, who were to review the
companies.
These horses were to be at the officers'
quarters at 4 o'clock, and the drill com
petition of the teams was called off at a
little after 3 o'clock to allow the men to
prepare for the dress parade. At 4 o'clock
they were ready but the horses did not
arrive and Brigadier General Liggett de
cided to wait for them. He kept the
troops in line ready for the march from
4 o'clock until 6, and General Mitchell,
the head consul and the governor decided
that they would not keep the men waiting
longer, and the line was allowed to pasa
in review before headquarters.
The reviewers occupied chairs beneath
the general's tent, from where only a
very poor view of the troops could be
had. General Mitchell decided then that
he would not depend on the committee
for his horse this morning and engaged
one personally. When it was not brought
into camp this morning at the appointed
time he telephoned the person of whom it
had been engaged, and was told that it
had been called for and taken by a local
Woodman, and the general expected to
see it bearing one of his hosts at the head
of the parade.
Officers Coiupluiu.
"This is the worst reatment any body
of Woodmen has ever received," said aa
indignant officer from out of town, this
morning. "The failure of the St. Paul
people to furnish our horses yesterday
was a very serious offense, but their ac
tions this morning were disgraceful. Not
only have they failed to keep their prom
ise in supplying the needs of the camp,
but they have failed to treat us with
respect."
Northcott Starts at L.ant.
The incomplete corps of officers, ac
companied by Head Consul Northcott and
Head Clerk Hawes, the two latter in
civilian dress, finally left camp at 10:20,
two hours and a half after they were
ready for the start.
The horses were anything but what one
would expect to see as mounts for offi
cers, and resembled more than anything
else, hack nags or farm horses, and the
equipment was not only painfully plain,
but ragged, in marked contrast to the ap
pearance of the sprightly, sleek steed
upon which a civilian from St. Paul, be
decked with a long, flowing sash of red,
white and green, who came out to hurry
up the officers, rode.
Had it not been for the elegant, well
groomed uniforms of the officers, and the
strictly military appearance of the men
themselves, the camp officers would hay«
been a veritable awkward squad.
The Procession.
The companies which had fallen In at
8 o'clock were compelled to wait two long
hours in a broiling hot sun, before start
ing on their long march into the city.
When, at 10 o'clock, Brigadier General
Liggett ordered the line to march, the
companies each formed in a single line,
extended from Victoria street to St
Albans, a distance of four long blocks.
The line moved forward on Fuller,
turning at St. Albans, and, with the brig
adier general and Adjutant Ringer riding
ahead, the troops set out to join the St.
Paul end, which had been compelled to
wait for about three hours for them.
Hagenow's band of Lincoln was in the
lead. They were followed by the Omaha
brigade, which included Lincoln division.

morning.
A GREAT PARADE:
The Woodmen Treat the People of
St. Paul to a Spectacle.
The Woodmen were on parade this
morning. Gay with banners, uniforms
and umbrellas of every color, they daz
zled the eyes of the multitude.
In numbers the parade "was a disap
pointment. At a liberal estimate there
were not more than 6,000 in line, of whom
2,000 were uniformed Foresters, 1,000 roy
al neighbors In floats, tally-hos and car
riages, and the rest an army of Minne
sota Woodmen, on foot, and not uni
formed, but more or less gay with colors.
There were sixteen bands.
The parade was late, as parades always
