REGULAR MEETING CITY GOUNGIL LAST EVENING Three Members of the Council Were the spawning season for fish has been greatly delayed, and the advice of the state game and fish commission to all true sportsmen is that they refran from trying to get any bass for at least two weeks, The bass have not yet commenced to spawn, and if the opening of the season is taken advantage of by any considerable number of fishermen it will mean & loss of thousands of fish which will be saved if the fishing is put off until after the close of the spawning season. The sypors of catching bass is a great attraction to those who know how, as the bass is with- out question the gamest fish to be found in the waters in this part of the country, besides be- ing an excellenv food fish. The attractiveness of the bass from every point of view makes the opening season an event watched with interest, not only by the sportsmen of this state but those all over the country, and every spring brings in fishermen from all over the country to try their luck in the streams of this state. Under ordinary conditions the spawning season 1s over by this time, but this year ithas not commenced, and fishing during the early part of the season will have the effect of materially set- ting back the work of the com- mission in keeping the streams well stocked by preventing the natural increase of the fish. Unless there is a considerable moderation in the weather it is believed that there will be little spawning during the next two weeks, but with the advent of warm weather that season will soon be over and there will then be a great increase in the stock for future sport. I consider the genuine sports- man in duty bound to put off his first visit to the lakes until after the spawning season,” saysS. F. Fullerton of the game and fish commission. ‘“‘Every fish that is taken now means the killing of thousands, which would be pre- vented if the sportsmen waited until the proper time before try- ing their luck at the sport.”’ Absent—But Little Business Was Transacted Aldermen Bowser, Smart and Erickson, were absent from the regular meeting of the city coun- cil held last night, and conse quently many important meas- ures were deferred until the next meeting, there being barely the required number of votes present to constitute the neces- sary majority to adopt resolu- tions. A number of miscellaneous bills, including the city pay roll for May, amounting to $562.83, were audited and allowed. The city clerk was instructed to notify the janitor and assist- ant to attend to their work at the hall instead of doing police duty on the streets. The liquor license bonds of E K. Anderson and J. P. Dunecalf, were approved, and the liguor license application of Naish Mec- Kinnon was granted. Ordinance No. 23, regulating the construction, alteration and repair of sewers, was given its third reading and passed. Ordinance No. 24, forbiding houses of ill fame, was given its first reading. The city clerk submitted a re- port of all public work under construction, and contemplated improvements giving estimate of cost of same, and fund out of which such work and 1mprove- ments 1s to be paid. The city engineer recommend- ed that a resolution be passed prescribing 14-foot sidewalks on Minnesota and Beltrami avenues from Fourth street to Second street, and on Second, Third and Fourth streets from Bemidji to Minnesota avenues. S. N. Reeves was granted use of Minnesota avenue, corner of Second street, for building use, and Schroeder & Schwandt were permitted to close temporarily the alley in block 15, back of where they are excavating for their new building. After considering several minor matters, the council ad- journed. Three Nights May Companion piece Grand Opera House Courtenay Morgan Stock Co.

AFTER A MONTH OF PERIL Disabled Ocean Liner Towed Into Bos- ton Harbor. e New York, May 2 .—The Russian steamship Korea has been towed into port by two tugs, with 1,500 passen- gers kneeling on her decks in a prayer of thanksgiving for deliverance from perils of the sea that had beset them for almost a month. With her wooden deck fAttiags chopped up for wood and a part of her cargo burned to keep the engines go- ing the Korea had fought almost in- cessant storms. For three days the ship was help- less in a gale, her shaft having broken in the middle of the night. As the vessel rolled and pitched’in the heavy troughs of the sea her officers had difficulty in restraining the 1,500 Rus- slan steerage passengers in their wild plan of taking to the boats. Provisions ran low and there was a shortage of fresh water. This condi- tion threatened to become worse and Captain Kirschjedt turned the ship's nose toward Boston. His signals of distress were seen off Boston light.and ald was given him. : 2 Gigantic Railroad Combination in Process of Perfection. CAPITALIZED AT A BILLION System Will Extend From the Most Northern Point of the Atlantic Coast to the Gulf and Will Include the Pennsylvania Road. Chicago, May 28.—A dispatch to the Inter-Ocean from Washington says: ‘While the eyes of the whole country have been centered on E. H. Harri- man as the master manipulator of the raflroad world a greater and more extensive combination of railroad in- terests has been in process of perfec- tion, until now the plans are matured for the public declaration of this gigan- tic merger. More than a thousand million dol- lars of capital are involved and the mileage of the new system will extend practically from the most northern point of the Atlantic coast to the Gulf ports, with a network of tracks grid- ironing New England, the~East and Middle West and tapping the greatest freight producing territory in the world. This colossal merger, vaen perfect- ed, will be known as the Greater Penn- sylvania system. It will embrace practically all the railroad mileage in New England, together with the pres- ent Pennsylvania lines east and west of Pittsburg, with through connec- tions to New Orleans and Mobile, on the Gulf. - Canal Keystone of System. Instead of projecting a transcon- tinental line from ocean to ocean the keystone of the new system will be the Panama canal. Traversing as it does the most congested sections of the United States and reaching every great industrial and manufacturing center east of the Mississippi it will afford an outlet to the products of this vast section to all the ports of the Atlantic north of the Potomac -and also give them a direct route to the Orient via the Gulf and the new isth- mian canal when completed. Charles 8 Mellen is credited with being the master mind that conceived this vast project, although it is understood that this consolidation was under consid- eration before the death of the late A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsyl- vania. Mellen, it is said, will be at the head of the new corporation. Mellen and his associates in this great project feel assured, according to the best information at their com- mand, that there will be no opposition to or criticism of their venture on the part of the administration, as no com- peting parallel lines will be merged except in the case of a few unimpor- tant branches. AFFECTS PRICE OF STOCKS Frost in the Wheat Belt Causes De- cline in Securities. New York, May 28.—An active sell- ing movement, which followed reports of frosts in the wheat belt, carried prices of some of the leading stocks down 3 to 4 points. Western houses which were concerned in the advance in wheat were reported to be con- tributing heavily to the selling of stocks. The decline was gradual from the opening of the exchange, with Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Reading leading the downward movement, with losses at noon of 5% and 4% respec- tively. Declines of 4 points in Smelt- ing, 3% for Union Pacific and of 2 to 8 points in St. Paul, Southern Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and the Hill stocks were also recorded by noon. After a temporary check the liquida- tlon was resumed in the afternoon and prices slowly gave way under heavy selllng of Canadian Pacific, Reading and Smelting. Losses for the day reached 7 in Canadian Pacific, 6 in Reading, 5 in Smelting, 4% in St. Paul, 4% in Union Pacific, 3% in Amalgamated Copper and from 3 to 6 points in a number of other stocks.

Tokio, May 2' .—A report from the coneul for Japan in San Francisco genfirms the news of attacks made recently upon Japanese restaurant keepers in that city. The public here is indignant, but the press refraing from any hostile comment, trusting tho Washington government to pre- vent the repetition of similar occur- Tences. The disturbance occurred in a res- taurant conducted by Japanese on Folsom street and was followed by an attack upon a Japanese bathhouse on the opposite side of the street. The trouble arose over the expulsion of two white men from a Japanese res- taurant on Eighth street. They were followed by a mob when they went around to a place on Folsom street, which wrecked both places, the men themselves escaping through a rear entrance. The police say the reason that there was no interference was because all of the patrolmen on the street had been withdrawn for duty in other sections of the city, where disturbances prevailed owing to the strike of the carmen.
