s 4 Fy ¥ ’ » Ld WORK OF CONGRESS Proceedings in the Senate and House of Representatives, Washington, Mzy 21. —: The senate passed the Distzict of Columbia appro- priation bill, carrying approximately . 87,300,000. A debate on the question of appropriations for sectarian pur Poses cropped out on the parseranh making appropriations for charities in the district. Qn a yote the senate sus- tained the committee providing spe- -cifie appropriations for numerous pri- vate charitable institutions, some of them of a sectarian character. A fur- ther provision was adopted for an in- vestigation into the charity system of the district with a view to ascertaining what, if any, part of the public appro- priations are used for church purposes. The house entered upon a two days’ debate of the immigration bills report- ed from the immigration committee. W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania and Mr. Tracewell of Indiana argued for a re- strictive measure; Mr. Corliss of Mich- igan, for his bill, designed to put an end to Canadian competition with American labor, and Mr. Morse of Mas- sachusetts and Mr. Bartholdt of Mis- souri, for the education test bill. The feature of the debate was the plea of Mr. Buck of Louisiana against any sort of restriction legislation beyond that now on the statute books, which excluded paupers and criminals. Washington, May 23.—So much of the time of the house was occupied in considering the president’s veto of a bill to pension Francis Hoover, a pri- vate in the Sixty-fourth Ohio Volun- teer infantry, and in listening to a per- sonal explanation from Mr. Grosvenor (Rep. Ohio) relative to a newspaper misrepresentation of his position on the subject of reciprocity, that the time for debate on the Phiilips com- mission bill was extended until to-mor- row at 4 o'clock. The bill provides for the appointment by the president of a non-partisan commission of 21, seven entatives each from labor, agri- 1 and business pursuits, to col- lect information and consider and rec- ommend legislation to meet the } ‘ob- lems presented by labor, agriculture and capital. Mr. Phillips, chairman of the labor committee and the author of the bill, made the principal argument. The senate had an hour of much ex- citemept with a resort to-obstructive tacti and several heated personal controversies over Mr. Butler's’ bill prohibiting the further issue of inter- est-bearing bonds. No action was taken. Washington, May 24. — The bill to prohibit the issue of bonds is now be- fore the senate with the prospect of final vote on it next week. The ob- struction to the measure was with- drawn, and by the decisive vote of 34 to 20 the senate adopted the mo- tion of Mr. Butler, author of the bill, ed with it. The debate on the proceeded throughout the day, and was at times very animated. Mr. Hill attacked the bill as a bare- facel attempt at repudiation by an t cutting off of the only means ing for a repeal of the green- Mr. Sherman, Mr. Gray, Mr. Hawley and Mr. Lodge spoke in oppo- sition to the bill, and Mr. Mills (Tex.), Mr. Butler, Mr. Allen, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Clarke for it. The tariff question came in for incidental consideration, and Senators Sherman, George and Gray ex ed the view that it would be : grace if congress adjourned without enacting a law to increase the revenues. The Phillips labor commission bill, which was to have come to a vote in the house under the special order, was completely crowded out by the conference reports on the river and harbor and sundry civil bill, and will go over unti] next week. The confer- ence report on the river and harbor bill which reported» an agreement on all the items save that relating to the Santa Monica and San Pedro harbors, lifornia, was made the basis of a bitter attack on the bill by rs. Hepburn (Rep., Iowa) and Dockery (Dem., Mo.) ashington, May 26.—The day in enate was consumed by the “filled cheese” bill, and the second install- ment of the speech of Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) on the Butler bill to prohibit the issue of bonds without the authority of congress. On the ground that the filled cheese bill was a revenue meas- ure, several amendments to raise rev- enue were offered, but all failed. One by Mr. Mills to impose a 5 per cent in- ternal revenue tax on all products in excess of $10,000 per annum, from es- tablishments manufacturing from iron, steel, copper, nickel, brass, lead, zinc, cotton, wool, hemp, silk or flax, was laid on the table by a vote of 42 to 15. Amendments by Mr. Allen for an ad- ditional internal revenue tax of $1 a barrel on beer, ale and porter, and one by Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) for an im- port duty of 10 cents a pound on tea, were lost by similar votes, and the filled cheese bill was then obliged to give way to the bond bill. The time of* the house again was devoted wholly to the ccnsideration of conference reports. ‘The final report of the river and harbor bill, carrying the compromise preposition relative to rival Santa Monica and San Pedro harbors, California, was adopted with- sion. The bill now goes to the ent. As finally passed it carries 850,000 in direct appropriations and authorizes contracts to the ex- tent of $59,649,000. The final report on the executive, legislative and ju- dicial bill was also ndopted. ‘The bill carries $21,520,000, $370,000 less than the bill last year. The sundry civil and Indian appropriation bills were sent back to conference. By a vote of 154 to 52 the house insisted on its pro- vision in the latter bill relating to sec- ta“an schools. Eleven Republicans, ten Democrats and 1 Populist voted agaivst insisting Washington, May 27.—The general deficiency appropriation bill, the last of the supply bills was before the senate throughout the day and passed | before adjouznment. It tempo- rarily displaces the bill to prohibit the issue of bond As passed the bill car- ries about $10,500,000, an increase of $6,000,000 over the house Dill. The most important agreed upon was that of $1,542,979 to the Southern Pacific company for transportation of mails. The bond bill was formally laid be- fore the senate and Mr. Pritchard (Rep., N. C.) was recognized. but after some discussion the bond bill was in- formally laid aside tion of the Sa actky Dil eeatinaaa MINNESOTA N EWS. Mr. Kem (Pop., Neb.) continued his obstructive policy at the opening of the session of the house. Mr. Bab- cock of Wisconsin promptly claimed the day for District of Columbia business. When it was concluded, on motion of Mr. Evans (Rep., Ky.) the house went into committee of the whole to consider the bill to repeal the free alcohol clause of the existing tar- iff law. No action was taken, ; pnd Fe Sel MELLETTE IS DEAD. South Dakota’s Former Governor Dies in Pittsburgh, Kan. Pittsburg, Kan., May 27.—C. A. Mel- lette, ex-goverenor of South Dakota, died at his home in this city of heart failure after an illness of about five weeks. Death was, however, brought on by a complication of diseases of four or five years’ standing. His body will be shipped to Watertown, S. D., for interment. He leaves a family of a wife and three sons, all grown. He moved to this city about a year ago and commenced the practice of law. He was a prominent Knight Templar. Goy. Mellette was for a long time identified with the politics of the ter- ritory and state. When the people of Dakota tried to force their admission into the Union by electing a complete state government, Mellette was the people’s choice for governor. He was born in 1845 in Indiana and served during the civil war, upon the close of which he took up his residence in Muncie, Ind., where he practiced law and was made prosecuting attorney for his judicial district. He was elected to the state house of represen- tatives, and while serving in that ca- pacity helped to lay the foundation of the excellent public school system of Indiana, and which has served as a model for many of the Western states. With Gen. Brady he entered info the newspaper business, publishing the Muncie Times, one of the most influen- tial Republican papers in the district. In addition to this he carried on an extensive paper business. In 1878 he was appointed register of the general land office at Springfield, Dak., and af- terward removed to Watertown. MARKET REPORTS.

Pittsburg, Pa., May 27. — Senator Quay was in the city to-day and held a reception at the Quay headquarters. |. He was greeted by many of his friends but would say nothing to any one that would give an inkling of what passed between himself and McKinley at the conference at Canton. In an interview with the newspaper men he announced that if the county committee of Alle- gheny county wished to vote at the primaries for pr2sidential. preference, he would be glad of their support, but thought good government for Al- legheny county was the dominant is- sue. It is reported among those who are near to Senator Quay that the out- come of the conference at Canton was that Quay will be national Chairman and Morton of New York, vice presi- dent, with Platt to control the polities of that state. This is given for what it is worth, but will probably prove to be the real outcome of the famous conference. More Evidence of Murder. Salt Lake, Utah, May 27.—The police have been actively at work making investigations in the basement of the Scandinavian M. EK. church for further traces of the missing girl, Miss Clau- sen. It was known the girl had false teeth. and in the ashes of the grate were found two false teeth, which had been jut on with small rivits. They are front teeth. This is the kind of evidence the authorities have been more than anxious to obtain. A pair of overalls stained with blood were also dug up in the basement of the chureh, having been buried to a depth of fourteen inches. This is looked upon as very important, although no posi- tive clue has been obtained as to the whereabouts of the missing preacher. On July 25 Next. Milwaukee, May 27.—The sale of the Northern Pacific railroad has been ar- ranged to take place at West Superior, Wis., July 25.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. Report of the Minnesota Section of the Climate and Crop Service. Minneapolis, May 24—The past week has been one of frequent rains, some sections of the state having ex- perienced six consecutive rainy days beginning with last Tuesday. The re- sult of so much rain has been to greatly retard farm work, many farm- ers not being able to get on to their ‘fields at all, while in the Red River valley four days work was reported for the week. Wheat seeding is near- ly completed south of Clay county, and north of that county it is about half done. Corn is being planted, but many are holding back, thinking it yet unfavorable for planting. The cool wet weather during the latter part of the week has been very unfavorable for the stooling of wheat. Rye is head- ing. Oats, barley and flax seeding is general, having been reported as far north as Clay county. Garden truck is mostly planted. Small fruit of all kinds is looking well. Hail was re- ported from Pipestone, Cottonwood and Wadena counties but no damage of consequence was done. Chinch bugs have made their appearance in Olmstead, Dodge and Brown counties, but as yet have done no damage. Wild hay land and some wheat have been damaged by water in Sherburne county. a | j COLLIDE AT A CURV! Fatal Wreck Occurs on the Duluth and Iron Range. Tower, Minn., Mey — A colbston occurred on the Dulut Iron Kange last evening between a work train and a wild train. in which two men were killed and several injured. ‘The killed are G. W. Weaver, engineer of the work train, and W. Moulton, his-tire- man. The work train had been pick- ing up iron on flagging orders and left Ely at 6:22 for Tower, while the spe- cial left Tower for Ely about the same time. At Eagle's Nest lake, about seven miles from ‘Tower, the two trains came together at 2 point where there is a deep rock cut in a bend of the road, and neither engineer could see an approaching train more than ten rods away. Charles Cotter, engi- neer of the wild train, and James Shea, fireman, saved their lives by jumping, but the two killed probably never saw their danger. Both trains were running at a speed of twenty-five or thirty miles an hour, and the col- lision was so terrific that almost the entire crew of the work train were thrown from the windows of the ca- boose. An inquest will be held to de- termine who is to blame. TOOK MORPHINE. Ex.County Treasurer Nelson of St. Paul Is Dead, St. Paul. May 26.—Andrew N. Nel- son, for six years treasurer of Ramsey county and one of the best known Scandinavian-Americans ie St. Paul, died yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock at St. Joseph’s hospital. Death was caused by morphine poisoning, and the drug was undoubtedly adminis- tered by his own hynd. He had taken the deadly dose at least fifteen hours, and probably twenty hours, previous to his death, and, although he was found and the doctors were at work on him at 6 o'clock yesterday morniar, the poison had already made such progress that it was impcssible to arouse him from the stupor. Mr. Nel- son’s act was apparently not rashly perpetrated, for it seems quite certain that he had threatened or several 9¢- casions recently to escape from the troubles in which he imagined himself to be involved. or in which he might really have heen. He was not a com- piunicative man, and few people know anything about his business affairs. It is said, however, by his friends, that Mr. Nelson has rot prospered very materially since leaving the county treasurer's office. He conducted a tire insurance business and had offices on the second floor of the Schutte block at 154 East Seventh street. and it was in this office that he took the drug that killed him. His health has been pcor during the winter, and something more than two months ago he went South. On his return he looked and felt much better, but particularly within the past week he has been despondent, and his friends say that he had merphine in his possession. FLETCHER NOMINATED. Choice of the Fifth Minnesota Dis- trict Republicans. Minneapolis, May 26.—The Republic- an convention was one of the shortest in the history of the Fifth district. In half an hour after the call to order Loren Fletcher had been made the nominee of the party in the district, and within the hour the convention had met, transacted all its business and adjourned. The committee on resolutions submitted the following report: “Resolved, That this convention of the Republicans of the Fifth congres- sional district in Minnesota hereby re- affirm the great principles of the Re- publican party, protection, reciprocity and sound money, and hereby pledge themselves to stand upon the platform to be adopted by the national Republic- an convention sgon to convene in St. Louis.” The platform was adopted without a dissenting vote. A committee was sent out to bring the nominee before the convention. He was received with enthusiasm. He made a short speech and the convention adjourned. ST. PAULITE ARRESTED. Accused of Hav!ng Held Up a Man in Chicago. Chicago, May 26.—Paul Brooks, the twenty-year-old son of Jonathan U. Brooks, vice president of the firm of Pitkin & Brooks, met w'th footpads late last night as he was approaching his home, 4912 Woodlawn avenue. There were three men, and they rifled his pockets thoroughly. A gold watch and chain and $1.50, all the money he had, were taken. When the young man reached his home he telephoned to the Hyde Park folice station and Sergeant Mullins sent out officers. Officers Crawford and Farrell arrested a man who gave his name as J. W. Freeland, and said be lived at No. 101 Main street, St. Paul. He was identi- fied by young Brooks as one of his as- sailants. Later the prisoner was ex- hibited to Paul Corby, of No. 46 Mich- igan terrace, who was held up and robbed of a gold watch and $4.50 Mon- day night. He alse identitied him as one of the highwayren. Freeland carried a fine revolver and the latter victim said he recognized it also. It is thought the priscner and his two accomplices have been responsible for many robberies about the city. The man has a fresh stab wound in his chest, and it is thought he received it during some encounter. Duluth, May 2%—Sheriff Bulchart and three deputies went up to Virginia on a special train and dropped in on a prize fight.

FANS. ARE FURIOUS. _Mobs in the Twin Cities Attempt to- Kill Umpires. St. Paul, May 24.—Umpire McDonald, in the game between St. Paul and In- dianapolis yesterday, made some de- cisions which the crowd considered gave the game to Indianapolis. When the game was over the crowd swarmed into the field with the intention of mobbing McDonald. He was chased under the grand stand and took ref- uge in a dressing room. Several men in the meb called for ropes for the purpose of hanging McDonald, but at this point the police appeared. Later the police escorted McDonald to a strect car, followed by a howling mob of several hundred men and _ boys, who threw rocks and clubs at McDon- ald, but he was not injured. He was finally placed on a car and sent to Minneapolis. ‘ In Minneapolis, Too. Minneapolis, May 24.—An attempt was made to mob Umpire Snyder af- ter the game here last evening. Min- neapolis played with Columbus, and the umpire was hooted and hissed all through the game for decisions which the crowd considered were partial to the visiting club. When the game was concluded the crowd made a rush for Snyder and chased him into the club house, throwing rocks at him as he ran. If Snyder had been caught he would no doubt have been roughly handled, if not killed. The police came to Snyder’s rescue and prevented the crowd from breaking into the club house. The police escorted the umpire to his hotel, followed by a mob of angry fans. HILL BUYS ELEVATORS. The Great Northern President Gets the Terminal in Minneapolis, Minneapolis, May 24.—Within a few days one of the largest elevator deals in the history of Minneapolis will be closed. At present all of the arrange- ments preliminary to the transfer have been made, and it is only a question of looking over the title to the property and signing the closing papers. James J. Hill, of the Great Northern road, is the purchaser, and the Minneapolis Terminal Elevator company the seller. The property included is the seven acres of land just off the Lyndale ave- nue bridge on the Great Northern tracks, Elevator A belonging to the terminal company and the salvage of Elevator A 2, which is one of the smallest items of the deal. The price to be paid by Hill is $145,000 in cash or its equivalent, and the deal has been so far closed that all of the papers have been drawn up on both sides and a Great Northern attorney is looking over the abstract of title, etc. The property is considered one of the best elevator holdings in the city on ac- count of its convenient location to the Minneapolis & St. Louis tracks. A short time previous to the burning of Elevator A 2 the property was offered to the Van Dusen company in this city for $265,000 cash. The Minneapolis Terminal reserves the insurance on A 2, in addition to the sale price to the Great Northern, which brings the amount they realize on the property up to exactly the price for which it was offered to the Van Dusen com- pany. Bikes to Draw Trade, St. Paul, May 24.—Postmaster Gen- eral Wilson, according to a dispatch received from Washington to-day, has made a ruling that will affect a great many merchants who are using bi- cycles as a trade bait. This order bars W. R. Burkhard of St. Paul from further use of the mails while carry- ing on a business which ‘the post- master general holds to be a “lottery or similar enterprise.” According to the inspector’s report, the patrons of this company were given numbered tickets and holders of certain numbers were awarded bicycles and Winches- ter rifles. The postmaster general holds that this is a lottery within the meaning of the law. Workhouses for Tramps. Madison, Wis., May 24. — The anti- tramp convention to-day was well at- tended, and it was determined to make a@ systematic endeavor to stop vaga- bondage in Wisconsin by obtaining the erection of county and intercounty workhouses throughout the _ state. Meetings will be held next week at Baraboo and Marinette, and then in various other counties. A resolution was adopted urging this county to build at once. Brown county has al- ready a work house, where its efi- ciency has been fully demonstrated, tramping thereabouts being vastly di- minished. Addresses were made by W. H. Cornell, Prof. A. O. Wright, Prof. W. A. Scott and others. Will Be Towed to Sea. Jacksonville, Fla., May 24.—As a re- sult of telegrams that have passed be- tween Collector Bisbee and the treas- ury department, the steamer Three Friends will be escorted beyond the three-mile limit to-morrow morning by the revenue cutter Boutwell. This presumably is done to preyent the steamer from taking men on board. The Three Friends has a large cargo of arms on board, with ammunition and coal and provisions for a long voyage. After a College Presidency. Miller, S. D., May 24. — Prof. Pink- ham was seen to-day regarding the Brookings college presidency.

It is portable and may be packed fp a box when not in use. 1t can be at- tached in less than a minute, its weight is just below fifteen pounds ,and it can be handled with the greatest ease, or suspended from a chain and operated by the officer on watch. Its peculiar feature is that it does not dazzle the sight of the operator. None of its beams are wasted, and it gives a high degree of concentration of light rays upon the object on which it is directed. The instrument has both automatic and hand food, and the focusnig ar- rangement is very simple. It shows small objects, such as a spar buoy, three-quarters of a mile off, while it makes sails visible three miles away. County Displays. One of the novel features of the Grand Army Encampment in St. Paul duriag the first week in September will be the dis- plays in the open streets made by the va- rious Minnesota counties. The displays will take the form of arches, pyramids, circles, ladders or steps, swinging balconies or street booths, made of the products of each county and showing the leading industries and resources. W. J. Footner, Chairman of the Committee on County Displays, has formed a committee of men who are es- pecially well equipped for helping each county to make a creditable display. Ap- plications for street street space and other privileges are coming to Mr. Footner, and his committee will begin vigorous work at once. Every county that participates will have opportunity to display its resources to at least 300,000 visitors, day and night for a week, and the expense will be trifling.
