IW.ORU.4Mi™ OF FIRST
HOW VETERANS OF THE THIR
TEENTH WILL DROP BACK INTO
NATIONAL GUARDS
Seven Coiiipnnlen nt Wttnt «f the Fil
ipino Planters Will Retire Into
the State Militia — Fourth Regi
ment Will Become a Renetrve.
Within ten days the Thirteenth regi
ment will be reorganized as the first regi.
ment of the Minnesota national guard.
Gen. Lambert is preparing an order which
will call for the muster out of Company
H, of St. Paul and Companies B and F, of
Minneapolis, substituting in their places
two Fourth regiment companies, pre
sumably Minneapolis companies.
The same order will revoke the leav*> of
absence of the regiment and will be "toU
lowed by an order by Gen. W. B. Bend
calling for an election of line officers ana
later an election of regimental officers.
Gen. Reeve mill remains colonel of the
regiment and it is more than possible
that he will be the unanimous choice of
the regiment for commanding officer.
There will likely be quite a spirited con
test for the lieutenant colonelcy which
lies between MaJ. Robinson and Mai.
Fredriehs, as Lieut. Col. Price recently
handed his resignation to the governor.
Capt. Spear, of St. Paul, and Capt. Cor.
rlson, of Minneapolis, are slated for
majorships in the national guard, and the*
third of that rank will be the candidate
for the lieutenant colonelcy who receive*
the least votes. It is tacitly understood
that Seibert's First Regiment band will
again be designated as the regimental
band.
Seven companies of the Thirteenth will
go back into the state guard, and perhaps
eight. At the last inspection Companies
D and C, of the Fourth regiment, sta*
tioned in Minneapolis, stood highest, and
the programme now is to fill the vacan
cies In the Thirteenth regiment with these
commands.
Under the law passed by the last ses.
Bion of the legislature the Fourth regi
ment will become a reserve guard upon
the return to service of the old First.
However, It Is promised that several com
panies will be mustered out, among them
the St. Paul companies of the Fourth
Under the reorganization plan St. Paul
will loose two Fourth regiment companies
and one of the old First companies
Gen. Lambert deems it Important that
there should be as little delay as possible
In reorganizing the guard as the annual
Inspection comes In May and ample time
should be given ihe old First to get their
full equipment, not that they need any
drilling, as they are "veterans ' now and
pll that is necessary Is the command to
"fall in" and they catch the seasoned
«wlng of a long campaign with no diffi
culty at all.
As soon as possible after the new ordei
Is put into effect the armory association
will meet and will take up the project of
a new armory. Several practicable plan?
for suitable armory facilities have been
considered and with a little assistance
from "the city the project will probably
go through. If the city would take a
ten-year lease numerous investors could
be found that would be willing to put up
a building to order.
"THE HIGHWAYMAN'S" HIT.
It Haa Seared * Sacceii 'Wherever
Presented.
Since the time of the first presentation
of De Koven & Smith's opera. "The High
wayman," at the Broadway theater, N.^w
York, It has never failed to please. It has
been the magnet that has drawn large
audiences to the theaters In every city
in which it has been presented, and lias,
without doubt, been the means of gaining
for Messrs. Do Koven and Smith laurels
which will hardly be wrested from them
for some time to come by any other
American colaborators. The book fur
nished by Harry Smith is decidedly Inter
esting, and not a dull moment is found
during its interpretation; humorous lines,
laughable situations are rapidly present
ed, and the music to which the lyrics are
I set is unusually harmonious and pleasing.
The Broadway Opera eomfrany, which
•will present "The Highwayman" for the
first time in this cliy Sunday n:ght, March
4, the opening night of 4.he engagement
here, consists of unusually capable peo
ple, many of whom are weil known. Misg
Katherine Germaine will be heard as Ldy
Constance, the leading role of the opera.
Mr. Arthur Dagon will impersonate the
role of eapt. Scarlett. The cast otherwise
should In every way be adequate for a
proper interpretalon of Mr. De Koven's
score.

The mayor may or may not announce

He asked for yesterday and re
ceived from the corporation attorney
an opinion to the effect that the retiiing
members of the school board wauld hold
office until their successors were ap
pointed on or before March 1, but for
some reason the mayor desires to hod
the appointments up for a few days. The

R. M. Newport and Percy D. Godfrey
on the park board will be given out today.

Mrs. D. A. Monfort, the newly elected
state regent of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, arrived home yes
terday fiom the South, where she, In
company with her son, Fred, has spent
the last three weeks traveling through
Florida and other Southern points. Mrs.
Monfort did not attend the national con
gress of the Daughters held recently In
Washington, and, as her mall, through
some mistake, did not reach her dur
ing her absence, was In Ignorance ol
the honor conferred upon her by the
women of her state until she arrived
home yesterday. "I certainly appreciate
the compliment the chapters of my own
state have paid me," said Mrs. Monfort
to the Globe yesterday. "I had not
the faintest Intimation that my name
had even been mentioned as a successor
to Mrs. Ell Torrance by the delegates be
fore they left St. Paul. It was In the
nature of a surprise. Indeed, If thu sub
ject had been broached to me I should
have felt It my duty to discourage the
efforts of my friends, for the recent
death of my husband has made all social
duties, such as this regency will entail,
not only distasteful, but almost impos*
sible. However, since the Daughters
have seen fit to honor me with the office,
of regent it only remains for me to ac
cept and to try to fill it as acceptably
as my predecessors have done. The num
ber of chapters In the state Is constantly
Increasing, and the demands upon the
time of tho regent are growing corre
spondingly greater. I have made no
plans as yet, of course, but I am so
thoroughly in sympathy with the alms
and broad scope of our organization
that it will be my greatest pleasure to
Instill as much enthusiasm as possible
into the work and organize new chap
ters wherever feasible."

Examination of Candidates for West
Point BcfgiitN Today.
The board appointed by the war de
partment to examine the physical and
mental condition of candidates from ad
jacent congressional districts appointed
to West Point convened yesterday at
Fort Snelllng. Owing to a delay, the
schedule of examination prepared by the
war department was not received, and
the board did little more than prepare
fon the examinations. The detail Ist
Ccfl. Joseph P. Wright, chief medical of
ficer of the department of Dakota, presi

surgeon, Fort Snelllng; Capt. Walker,
Eighth infantry, commanding Fort Snell
lng; Lieut. Jones, quartermaster of the
Eighth; Lieut. J. P. Tracy, recorder, aid
de-camp, departmental staff.
The appointees are under orders to re
port at the fort for examination this
morning. The board will convene at 9
o'clock, and the session* will occur dally
until the work is .completed. The ap
pointees will first be put through a se
vere physical examination, after which
they will be examined In orthography,
arithmetic, history,' geography and the
j common school branches. The schedule
prepared by the war department is
searching In an unusual degree, and
those who successfully pass the first ter
rors will be admitted to West Point with
out further red tape. The successful can
didates will report at the military school
In June and will go Into camp with the
cadets for the summer. The board meets
under authority of regulations adopted
In 1893, making the examinations of medi
cal boards at the important military
posts of the Unite* States final with re
spect to admission.
A number of youag men from St. Paul
and Minneapolis were om hand at the fort
yesterday, under the impression that the
examination was competitive and that
they would be permitted to enter. The
event is quite of another nature, how
ever, and the military aspirants were
disappointed. The candidates are such
as have been appointed by congressmen
and the examinations are neither general
nor competitive.

None of the Attacking Parties Man

Through the Unartl LlneM of tbe
Princeton Commander — Their
Hop*- Was lo Neemre Abatement of
Taxes In Spite of Auditor's L*tter.
The state auditor's olllce was the storm
center yesterday, and it was not until
the state house had closed that the uppll
cants for abatements of taxes left tha
auditor to occupy his laager alone. The
bevtnty-rive or more whose applications
for abatements had been turned down
.stormed the state house yesterday and
thu. auditor's office more particularly.
There was no scarcity of ammunition.
Every time the auditor stuck his head out
of the inner office he met the attacking
force of Indignant property owners, anfi
he forthwith retired. Sam'lversnn was
detailed for picket duty and he stood his
post well. All the hard luck tales were
told to him and he sympathized with
every one, but announced that the state
auditor's decision was final, and that Mr.
Dunn was very busy with some official
gentlemen within.
That was as near as any one could get
to the auditor. Yesterday being the last
day for the payment of taxes—after to
day the penalty accrues—it was Important
that if any action be taken it be at once.
The auditor tried a ilank movement. He
escaped through the passage way thai
leads Into Treasurer Koerner's ortlce and
made a hasty exit to the barber shop.
But the auditor was not looking for
trouble. He kept out of sight most of
the afternoon and the only ones who were
able to get to him were the newspaper
reporters, and It was not nect ssary to
give assurance'that they owned no prop
erty.
It appears, however, that whllo Oie
auditor Is the last recourse which dis
sastisiied tax payers have, yet the real
trouble lays with the local board of as
sessment, in case? where there is an>
merit at all in the application.

ASTOR MONEY IN IT.
Deal for the Absorption of North
wrNtt-rn Telephone Exchange.
Fuller details of the absorption of the
Erie Telephone company, controlling the
local Northwestern company, are given
in a Boston dispatch:
The Western Union Telegraph company
is believed to be backing the Telephone,
Telegraph and Cable company, and the
deal by which the Erie Is taken over is
thought to mean that the Western Union
will become a rival of the American Bell
Telephone company in the latters espe
cial field.
John Jacob Astor is a director in both
the Western Union and the Telephone,
Telegraph and Cable company. The
brother of President Eckert, of the West
ern Union, is the controlling power in the
Knickerbocker Telephone Company of
New York, and there are other good rea
sons for believing that an out-and-out
affiliation of the two great corporations
will result. William J. Latta. of Phila
delphia, is president of the Telephone,
Telegraph and Cable company.
The Erie system now owns and operates
five companies working under the Bell
patents in the states of North Dakota,
South Dakota. Minnesota. Wisconsin,
Michigan. Arkansas, Texas and Cuyaho
ga county in Ohio, which includes the
city of Cleveland. These combined inter
ests had in operation on Feb. 15. 115,000
telephone stations In 2,300 cities and
towns and 250,000 miles of wire, of which
80,000 miles are used for long distance
purposes. The system is growing at the
rate of 50,000 subscribers annually.
Charles J. Glldden, of Lowell, Mass., is
president. The executive headquarters

. President Glidden said today:
The report is true that the Telephone,
Telegraph and Cable Company of Amer
ica has purchased 50,001 shares, par value
$5,000,100, out of a total issue of 100,000
shares, par value of $1,000,000, of the cap
ital stock of the Erie Telegraph and
Telephone company.
The American Bell Telephone people
could have secured a controlling interest
in the Erie before the new owners had ac
cumulatd much if any stock, but they did
not avail themselves of the opportunity.
The position of Erie in the telephone
field is strengthened to a remarkable de
gree. All the sub-companies of the Erie
system operate under perpetual contracts
with the American Bell Telephone com
pany, and have the full benefit and use of
all the patents owned and controlled by
the Bell people, together with the long
distance connections, while the new own
ers of the controlling interest in the Erie
will certainly discourage and prevent any
independent company invading the Erie
territory.
HAVE DRAWN NO PAY.
EmployPM of City Milk Inspection
Depnirtnient De«ire Their Money.
During the past two months the milk
inspection department of the board of
health has Inspected over 1,400 cows. This
makes a total of 3,500 which have bren in
spected since the ordinance passed. The
employes under the ordinance have not
been paid salaries for January, and the
February pay roll filed yesterday in the
comptroller's office will not be audited
until the resolution fixing the salaries of
the employes for this year has been pass
ed by the council.
Dr. Ohage stated yesterday that the
dairymen were now raising the question i
that the tuberculin tests made by the de
partment inspectors was injuring the cat
tle. Dr. Bracken, of the state board of
health; Inspector Plompon, of the same
department, and Dr. Ohage held a con
ference last evening and discussed the ad
visability of arresting a dairyman who
had paid no attention to the law regard
ing the quarantining of cattla which had
been condemned by the state inspector.
The facts will be laid before County At
torney Bigelow today and an application
made for a warrant. The dairyman in
question had a bull and two cows declar
ed infected with tuberculosis by the state
inspector. He sold the bull, had one of
the cows killed, and Is still using milk
from the other cow.
