The completion of the Democratic •stale ticket yesterday was in all respects a happy .sequence to the superb begin ning made the day before. It is ad mitted on all hands to be an exception ally strong ticket— possibly the strong est thai has ever been nominated by any party in this state. From top to bottom there is not a name on it but possesses exceptional elements of strength, ln addition to the splendid personnel of the ticket it enjoys the advantage of a judicious geographical distribution, as well as being thoroughly representative of the various nationalities embraced within our population. 1 Now that the Democrats of Minnesota liave a state ticket in the field which re flects credit upon the party, they can go into the canvass with unlimited enthusi asm, and with renewed zeal in the cause of tariff reform. To say that there is an absolute certainty of the election of the ticket would be misleading, because the majorities in the state have all been on the other side for nearly thirty years. But to say that the ticket deserves to win, and that there is a strong proba bility it will win. is entirely within the limit of truth. The prospect is so en couraging as to inspire every Democrat in the state with something more than mere hope of success. The inspiration borders on faith, and so much so that every voter who is devoted to the prin ciple of tariff reform, and who ardently desires to secure an honest and economic administration of the state government, will feel it his duty to take off his coat and work from now until the day of election for the success of the entire ticket. ■■■•>. STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. There were only two matters that the Globe felt justified in impressing upon the attention of the Democratic state convention in advance of its assembling. "Nor did we attempt to do that many dictatorial spirit, but merely in an ad visory way, and urged these matters upon the convention simply because we believed that it Would be in the line of a true Democratic policy to adopt our suggestions." It is therefore, with more than ordinary pleasure we record the fact that in both instances the assem bled representatives of the Democracy of the state concurred in our opinion, and did exactly the things we advised to be done. One of our suggestions was that the Tegular Ramsey county delegation was entitled to admission to the "convention by every law and usage known to Dem ocratic organization. By unanimous vote the convention agreed with the Globe on this proposition. And it was with almost equal unanimity that the convention adopted our second sugges tion, relating to the necessity for a change in the plan of appointing the state central committee. We advocated this change upon the theory that the nearer all power can be lodged in the body of the people, the more it is in ac cord with the underlying principle of a genuine Democracy. Any method of party organization based upon the principle of one-man power is bastard Democracy. Such methods may legiti mately belong to au aristocratic organi zation like the Republican party," but have no adaptability to the party of the people. We, therefore, deem it to . be a most wholesome change the convention made in regard to the selection of the state committee. The committee is now what it should be a representative body. A great principle has been es tablished that ought to prevail in all Democratic organization, for it relieves the party of -.11 danger of bossism. It is true it does not remove the possibil ity of factional control iv party man agement, yet it does give minorities an opportunity to be represented and to have a voice in the control of the organ ization. It was also an act of wisdom in the convention to allow the candidates to name certain members of the committee who are to act as their personal staff. This was done according to the practice of allowing an executive officer to name his cabinet, or the commander of an army to designate the members of his military family. A candidate in the field at the head of a great party in -an active campaign is, to a certain extent, responsible for the manner iiT which the 'canvass is conducted. It is, therefore, his personal right to select those persons who are to be most intimately associated with him during the campaign. -«se- - MR. BUCK'S PATRIOTISM. It seems an almost providential occur . rence in the proceedings of the Demo cratic convention which brought about the nomination of the Hon. Daniel Buck for the second place on the state . ticket. Nothing else could so satis- \ . factorily have unraveled .the complica . tion which existed, or so completely have harmonized a body in which such • fierce discord had at one time prevailed. • From the moment that Mr. Buck was nominated it. was apparent to the ob server that the clouds were lifted, and ; thenceforth the scene wasone of undis turbed tranquillity. ' It was an act of unselfish patriotism on: the part of Mr. Buck to consent to the use of his name in this con nection when his personal feelings were all against it. He had stated to the convention, with an air and manner which left no doubt of the sincerity of the statement, that he desired* no office under the sun, and would absolutely.re fuse to accept any nomination. But when he once understood that an exi gency had . arisen when only by the services be could render the party be loved so well could be fully equipped for the battle, like an old Roman sol dier he laid aside every personal con sideration and stepped to the front. It was an act of self-abnegation which speaks louder in Mr. Buck's honor than any distinction that can come from po litical preferment. . ~^i***^» EDITORIAL MENTION. Ah, there, Gov. Wilson ! the top of the morning to you. And to you, also, Lieut. Gov. Buck. A noble team, well matched. "What do these nominations mean?" asks a Republican contemporary in speaking of the Democratic candidates. They mean victory, with a big V. Hon. B. B. Hebbebt, of Red Wing, is quoted as saying that . Scheffeb is the only Republican who can beat Wil son. . That looks like narrowing the chances for Republican success down to a slender margin. * * ♦ The harmonious ending of a conven tion that had such a stormy beginning was not according to what the Republi cans had. hoped for. They will proba bly reverse the order of things when 'they hold their convention— open har moniously and wind up in a cyclone. ■if * * ' The old fake of treating the judiciary as non-partisan didn't work yesterday. As long as the Republicans draw the party lines on judicial appointments there is nd reason why Democrats shouldn't follow suit. There is just as good a show to get a good judge from the Democratic ranks as from the Re publican side, especially when it comes to rendering decisions on tax titles. * * There are no flies up this way. We have reached that social pre-eminence when the manager of a base ball team must hold the rank of a baronet and be the owner of castles. It is Mr. Babnes of St. Paul not of New York, figures as the hero of the day. ,^ --» * Old ocean does not propose to let the land enjoy a monopoly of horrors. Earthquakes, volcanoes, cyclones and railroad collisions have all been doing their death work. But this time it is the sea which swallows up its victims, and, as is usually the case when the sea engages in this kind of business, it is done by the wholesale. «S5«- THE IRISH AND HARRISON. His Gross Slander Upon a Great Race. The Irish Pilot of Aug. 11 reproduces the following editorial from the Bloom ington (111.) Bulletin: When the Republican papers and politicians attempt to face Willian Con don down in his statement of Harrison's fatal abuse of the Irish, they will find they are not brushing aside a lying alle gation by some irresponsible little cam paign prevaricator, but are facing the solemn asseveration of an old citizen and influential business man of unblem ished reputation, and whose word is as good as his bond. It cannot be set aside on the flimsy ground that some other man fails to recall it. William Condon, Sr.. was seen by a Bulletin reporter and asked as to state ment of this morning's Pantagraph in reference to his charges against Har rison for having slandered the Irish people. Mr. Condon has talked the matter over with gentlemen who also heard Harrison's vile speech here at Durley hall, and has come to the con clusion that it was in the campaign of 1870, and not eight years ago. *' * Mr. Condon said: "Harrison, the Repub lican presidential candidate, spoke here on an afternoon a few days before the election of 1870, and Colfax spoke in the evening of the same day, I think, although 1 did not hear Colfax. The abusive words from Ben Harrison came out in this way: Hatrison had praised all the nationalities except the Irish, and was just quitting this feature of his address when an old man with an Irish accent, asked: 'How about the Irish, and where were Meagher, Sheri dan, Shields, Mulligan and the others':" The crowd hissed the question, and shouted 'Put him out.' While they were taking the old gentleman from the building Harrison said exactly, or al most exactly, the following words: 'It is easy to know that man's race; you all know what they are; if it were not for them we would not need half our peni tentiaries, which are now almost full ef them; they have no intelligence; they are only good to shovel dirt and grade railroads, for which they receive more than they are worth, as they are no ac quisition to the ";;:,;• amebican people.' I have frequently mentioned the lan guage to many people, and long before Harrison was prominently mentioned for the presidency; and therefore it cannot be said I speak of the matter now for mere political ef fect. 1 was surprised to find my etter in print, indeed. In my letter 11 made merely an incidental reference to the matter, not thinking that any other portion would be copied by the press. I stand by every material statement I have made. Many of my neighbors, who did not hear Harrison, remember that at the time a great deal was said about his abusive remarks, which were more bitter than anything I have ever heard from any one. 1 dislike to bring any foreign nationality into our American politics, in a free country, where we all are or should be Americans for American inter ests only; but Harrison has provoked this matter by his own false and bitter words on the stump: 1 have no preju dice against other nationalities; on the contrary, it is a pleasure to remember that all races have contributed to the growth and splendor of our country, and that iv the terrible conflict for the main tenance of the Union the Celt and the brave heroes from the German father land fought side by side with the Amer ican born. The false alarm of those who say the Democratic party favors a tariff system favorable to England and detrimental to America, should blind no manly Irish-American to the fact that a rancorous defamer of his race is running against Cleveland, thatfearless honest man whose principles are calcu lated to give cheap food and clothing to the poor, and to preserve the blessings of this government for Americans yet unborn. Like every individual, every race has virtues as well as faults, and, therefore, I protest against Harrison's sweeping vindication of the Irish peo ple, who usually come here to obey the laws and help develop the mental and physical, capabilities of our .common country. The Pantagraph talks about producing an affidavit that Harrison did not make the abusive remarks. Well, there will bea number of counter affi davits from Irish-Americans. It is hard to prove a negative, but we can prove it was a positive" fact.'' ' ■•*■■» . . Sol's Burning Rays. Special to the Globe.

PAXIL DAILY GLOBE FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1888. SABIN A FREE TRADER He Stirs Up the Animals in the Republican Sena torial Caucus. Action on Important Public Measures Delayed by Ab senteeism. The Senate Would Make Scho fleld's Scope That of a General. Morgan's Resolution to Side track the Fishery Treaty Knocked Out. Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C, Aug. 16.-Min nesota took a hand in the senatorial cau cus and it was lively in the Republican camp, for a time. Senator Sabin made a passionately earnest speech for free trade, and he was ably seconded by Sen ators Plumb and Manderson. The Re publican senator who gives this informa tion indignantly says Sabin is more of a free trader than Knute Nelson. Sabin argues that the opening of the Red Lake and White Earth Indian reservations will, to a large extent solve the lumber problem for Northern Minnesota by bringing a large area of timber land into the market, and at a cost of freight which will be merely nominal. Sena tors Sabin, Manderson and Plumb com promised with the caucus when a cut of one-half upon the lumber schedule was agreed to in consideration of a like cut in the sugar duties. Further details of the caucus are unobtainable, except as to the fact that wool and iron are both ering the statesmen who so sanguinely announce a great bill, vastly superior to the Mills bill. It is easier to make announcements of that kind, as they now discover, than it is to carry them into effect. Although Senator Sabin ' declines to say anything about the cau cus, he states that it is true that he be lieves that the opening of the reserva tions will greatly BENEFIT THK LUMBERING INTEREST in the entire Northwest. He says the bills now in the senate for that purpose have not been acted upon sooner be cause of the claim of the state auditor that sections 10 and 82 for school lands is a just claim, and be (Sabin) is trying to have the bill amended accordingly. RESUL.TS OP ABSENTEEISM. Important Measures Nullified by the Raising ol'Points of No Quo rum. Special to the Globe. Washington, Aug. Efforts to se cure consideration of various important measures in the house .to-day were nul liiied by the raising of points of no quo rum. The fortification appropriation bill was passed without division. The conference report in the bill authorizing the Richmond & Danville Railroad com pany to lay tracks in the District of Columbia was agreed to. Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, called upon a resolution as signing May 2 and 3 for the considera tion of general pension legislation with a proposed amendment changing the dates to Aug. 29 and 30. A vote on the previous question showed no quorum, and a call of the house was ordered. One hundred and seventy-four mem bers were shown to be present, but the morning hour expiring, the reso lution went over. The resolution direct ing the printing committee to investigate the assertion that the public printer buys felt for printing purposes in Eng land, was reported adversely. The resolution was tabled. Mr. Springer, Of Illinois, tried to secure consideration of the Oklahoma bill, but on the point of a quorum being raised, was forced to * abandon the attempt, Mr. Burns, of Missouri, called upon the deficiency bill and asked its consideration. On a division Mr. Lyman, of lowa, raised the point of no quorum. Calls of the house ensued and showed less THAN A yiOIiUM of members present. Mr. Weaver, of lowa, made a motion to revoke all leaves of absence except those granted for sickness. This motion developed much opposition. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, said that the reason there were so many absentees that the house had little business to transact and could be ready for adjournment within three days. Mr. Weaver denied that there was no im portant business pending in the house. There were 500,000 poor people in the country demanding that Oklahoma should be opened to settlement, lie wanted the country to understand that the people's representatives were home trying to get another election. Mr. Springer asserted that members should be in the house, ln his experience the way to secure a renomination was for a member to remain in Washington at tending to public business. Mr. Blount thought the gentleman unjust in throw ing a reflection upon absentees." It was about time that this SOBT OF STUFF SHOULD STOP. Mr. Springer denied that he had' ut tered any "stuff," and said that i the gentleman was hot as courteous as. his long service should have taught him to be. Further retorts were exchanged. Mr. Williams, of Ohio, criticised the Democratic side for refusing to consider general pension bills, and then.'on mo tion of Mr. Cox, of New York, Mr. Weaver's motion was tabled. Mr. Weaver said he would renew it Mon day next if the house was without a quorum. Mr. Burnes said he deplored that this late day consideration had been refused to an appropriation bill in which 10,000 veteran In ion soldiers were interested. He would continue to urge consideration of the deficiency bill from day to day. Mr. Lyman, of lowa, said that till unanimous consent was given to consider the resolution fixing days for the consideration of general pension bill lie would continue to pursue the course he had pursued to-day. The house at 4:15 adjourned. ARMY APPROPRIATIONS. The Conference Bill Adopted by the Senate-— Morgan's Fish Res olution Defeated. Special to the Globe. ■ Washington, Aug. 10.— Rejection of the Morgan resolution to postpone the consideration of the fishery treaty till December, and the adoption of the con ference report on the army appropria tion bill were the features in the senate to-day. A communication from the dis trict coramissioners.relative to the erec tion of electric wires in the district, was presented and gave rise to a long dis cussion as to the availability and safety of electricity as a motor. The subject went over till to-morrow. The vote was taken on Mr. Morgan's resolution to postpone the fisheries treaty "till December next. The resolution was disagreed to; yeas 24. nays 27. The Edmunds resolution, looking to the pay ment of white depositors in the Freed men's bank, was taken up, and after discussion, went over without action. Mr. Reagan then addressed the senate on the president's annual message. He described the people as being MF.IJC'ILESSLY PLUNDERED for the benefit of capitalists. He quoted from Mr. Blame's Portland speech yes terday in relation to trusts. Mr. Blame, he said, had ridiculed Mr. Cleveland's message on that subject, and now posed as the apologist and defender of trusts. These remarks of Mr. Blame would add a new feather to the plume of that gal lant knight and endear him anew to the hearts of the money lords. Mr. Blame's jubilation has once more overcome his discretion. ~ -.'; - Mr. Blair complained that the extract of Mr. Blame's speech which Mr. Reagan had read was not a full report of his remarks on trusts. . Mr. Blair had the clerk read the report from the New York Tribune. The conference 1 report on the army appropriation bill was then taken up. Mr. Gorman stated that he would vote against it because the entire appropriation for the con struction of ordinance was placed in the hands of army officers. He believed that he would offer a resolution for a select committee to investigate the subject, and he believed that the investigation would show a chapter of extravagance and incompetency on the part of the ordnance corps that would only be rivalled by the recent disclos ures as to the ordnance department of, the English army. Mr. Allison said it" had never entered his mind that the.' construction of ordnance was to be the 1 exclusive work of army officers. The first delivery of steel was to be eighteen' months from this time, and he believed that there would be two or three ses sions of congress in which to settle the' question as to whether the construction of guns should be given to private establishments or be done at the Water vliet arsenal. It had never entered his' mind that private parties were to be ex cluded by this bill. Mr. Beck quoted A REMARK OF GEN. SHERIDAN -y to a committee inquiring as to fortifica tions: "Give me the guns and I will find a hole to put them in; for a good hole is the best fortification that 1 know of." After further discussion the con ference report was concurred in. Yeas SO. nays 11. The house fortification bill was presented and referred. The fishery treaty was then taken up and ordered to be lead by sections. The first article having been read, Mr. Gib son took the floor. He asked what was to be supplied in the trenty's place when it was rejected? Retaliation. That meant hostility. It meant a propo sition to worry, to tease to bull doze the- Canadians. He did not think that a wise, just or manly policy for the government of the United States to indulge in. An eye for an eye, and a tooth "for a tooth" was that, he asked, the outcome of American statesmanship in the 19th century, in dealing with a christian power like Great Britain? The youth of to-day will live to see the gov ernment of the United States extend all over the contenent; and why attempt to stop that extension by creating quar rels? Mr. Frye asked unanimous con sent to an order that all debate on the treaty shall close on Monday evening next, and that the votes on the treaty and on such amendments as might be proposed to it should commence at 12 o'clock on Tuesday next. Mr. Morgan— "We will take that proposition under advisement until to-morrow." Debate then at 5:50 adjourned. WILL SQUELCH FLY COPS. The Democratic Candidate for Governor of Illinois Has It in for Pinkertonism— Bugs Who Will Speak. Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C, Aug. 16.— is ascertained to-day that Congressman Mills. Wilson, of West Virginia, and Gen. Black will accompany Congress man Lawley to Chicago and deliver tariff speeches, and in that city, on the 25th inst. They will also speak by ap pointment before the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen and Switchmen. These brotherhoods ag gregate 40,000 in Illinois, and they are determined to sunport the Democratic candidate for' governor. Gen. Palmer, because he has boldly an nounced the determination to squelch and drive out the PiuKerton system if he is elected governor. Congressman Lawler says: "This move alone will make Illinois a Democratic state. Be sides the Republicans lost not less .than 10,000 doubtful voters when Gen. Logan died. He was that much stronger than his party. Illinois is going Democratic this year." ■— ) GREENBACK ERS RAMPANT. ' Chairman Jones Issues a Call for a National Convention. Washington, Aug. 16.— Georee O. Jones, chairman of the national com mittee of the National Greenback party, has issued a call for a national conven tion of the party, to meet at Cincinnati Sept. 18, t,o nominate candidates for president and vice president of the United States, and "to take such fur ther action as may be deemed necessary to preserve the name and organization, and to keep before the people the object for which that party was originally founded." The call states that "the chief reason for calling the convention at Cincinnati is because all railroads will sell tickets to that city and return at about half raths during the continu ance of the centennial exhibition, which lasts until December next." CANNY CUSHMAN K. He Denies All Knowledge of the Republican Senatorial Caucus. Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C, Aug. 16.—Sen ator Davis denies any knowledge of the Republican caucus. He says: "There is no truth in the statement that the Republicans will hold frequent cau cuses until they decide upon the full text of the tariff substitute. The Repub licans are working well together." In spite of this declaration it is well known here that the Republican senators feel that they have made a grievous error in their announcement that would present a substitute for the Mills bill. They are in a bad political fix. New England and Middle states senators want to ad journ. Those from agricultural states demand tariff legislation. They are be tween the devil and the deep sea. Is Not Helping Any One. Special to the Globe. Washington, D. C, Aug. 16.—Con gressman Stephenson, of the Ashland district, indignantly denies that he is helping Fifield or anyone else to secure the nomination in his stead. He says: "I do not suppose that I could deliver a single delegate to anyone of my friends, and I have not tried to do it. Our Wis consin Republicans are independent and will not take dictation from anyone. I am out of the race and the field is free to all my Republican friends who want the position." Presidential Plums. Washington, Aug. 16.— The presi dent has sent the following nominations to the senate : To be judges of probate, territory of Utah: John Houston, of Garfield county, in said county; Thomas J.

The Parnell Commission Appoints a Home Ruler as' Secretary. Special Cable to the Globe. London, Aug. 16. — Henry Cunyl ghame has been appointed as secretary for the Parnell commission. This is a popular move on the part of the com missioners, and is taken as an evidence of their intended fair dealing, as Mr. Cunylghame is in politics a Liberal and a Home Ruler. He is a clever barrister, and is well fitted for the position he will fill, having served in similar positions before. It is rumored that Attorney General Webster has refused to represent the Times befor the com mission, for what reason the rumor does not state. The Times retains for the action brought against them by Mr. Parnell in Edinburgh, the Scotch Soli citor General G. Murray and C. S. Dick son, both of whom are well-qualified ad vocates and will undoubtedly take ad vantage of every technicality which can be brought forward to assist the Times case. It is evident from the diminished confidence shown by the Times in the authenticity of the alleged letters of Mr. Parnell, that that paper is anxious to avoid the consequences of a libel suit in Scotland and will avail itself of even possible means to escape the action that its legal advisors can devise. \ A FUND FOR PARNELL. Special C.ible to the Globe. Liverpool, Amr. 16.— A meeting of the Liverpool Reform club was held to night at which many prominent liberals were present. It was resolved to start a fund for the assistance of Mr. Parnell' in his libel action against the Times. It is the intention of the club to make the movement a national one. BRITONS AND THEIR BEER. The Brewing Business in England ■ . : >.. Is Not Wnat It Used to Be. Special Cable to the Globe. ;: - . London, Aug. 10. — is a grave, and, it would seem, well-founded anxiety concerning the future of what has been for many generations oneof the most prominent British industries. It has been a matter of almost religious belief in the mind of the Briton that the product of his breweries surpassed in quality the beer of any other land, and the quantity con sumed here and exported hither to has naturally confirmed his confi dence in the domestic article. The fortunes made by the prominent brew ers have been princely, and they have spent them like princes. Some of them have been knighted in acknowledg ment of their "benefactions, and Dr. Johnson's pompous promulgation of the value of Thrale's plant has been pro verbial, but there is a suspicion that the British brewer has seen his best days. - The exports of beer to the United States have fallen off greatly, and those to the colonies are becoming smaller yearly. The French never took kindly to the heady product of their insular neighbor and the enormously increased consump tion of beer in France owing to the im possibility of procuring genuine wine at a moderate cost has accrued to the ben efit of Germany, although--^ avoid na tional prejudice, the "Bocks" are popu larly supposed to come* from Belgium. Physicians in Australia and India have CONDEMNED THE STRONG BEER of the mother country and the expatri ated Briton has become aware that in such climates he gratifies his prejudice at the expense of his liver. At home, too, the unkindest cut of all, the gradu ally increasing sentiment in favor of moderation in stimulants has led Eng lishmen of the upper class to prefer the light Bavarian and Vienna beers at luncheon or other times when wine is not in vogue. Having gained the favor of the swells the custom, as might be expected, has been enthusiastically adopted by the aspirants to swelldom, and the consequence is that the British brewers find their trade fearfully cut into by their continental rivals. Tin latter have a reputation for honesty of manufacture, while the former are not entirely above suspicion in that regard. The despotic Teuton authorities inspect the breweries and compel the purity of their product, nor is it allowed to be tampered with by the retailer. If some British makers bear a tolerably good reputation the retail beer seller is more than suspected of -'a DOCTORING THE LIQUID he deals out to his customers. A par liamentary report says: "The quanti ties of cocculus Indicus berries, as well as of black extract, brought into this country for the purpose of adnlterationof malt liquor are enormous." Other pleas ing improvements are sulphate of iron, quassia, soda, potash, carbonate of lime, sulphuric acid, etc. The English work man will cling for some time, no doubt, to the beverage he has quaffed from his childhood, as it has the desired "bite," which the publican takes care it shall not lack, but it is safe to say that the brewing business will never again be what it has been. One well-known company is in serious difficulties, aud two others of world. wide celebrity are confessedly shaky. Shrewd parties connected with the latter for years have withdrawn their capital, and it is no secret that they have invested it in a gigantic brewing enterprise in the United States.

London, Aug. 10.— The wily Muley Hassan, sultan of Moro »co, has been overreached in cunning and with dis astrous results. It seems that; about two months ago the rebels, who have for a long time resisted the sultan's de nomination, sent a deputation to the latter. But the terms which the depu tations proposed were not to the likimr of his majesty, and so the rebel representatives were ordered to be beheaded by Muley. Recently a second deputation of rebels declared that they were willing to pay the trib ute the sultan demanded. Consequent ly the sultan dispatched his cousin, Prince Muley, accompanied by an escort of 200 horsemen, to receive the submis sion of the rebels, and to bring back the tribute. Instead, however, of accom plishing this object, Prince Muley and his horsemen fell into ambuscade of the rebels, who avenged the murder of their comrades by killing the entire company.

Grand Forks, Dak., Aug. 16.— This afternoon J. B. Walker's big saw mill caught fire in the boiler room. The flames spread to the roof, and soon the entire mill was enve loped in flames. The fire spread with remarkable rapidity. The men stopped work at the first alarm and barely had time to get out of the mill, several having narrow escapes. Great volumes of flames rose skyward and the cinders fell over the city, setting fire to G. W. Ross' residence, half a mile away, but it was quickly extin guished. The fire department tackled the mill and soon had the flames under controle. Loss about $1,500. About 200,000 feet of sawed lumber was burned. All the . machinery is a total wreck, and about 100 men ara temporarily out of employment. The loss will be seriously felt by the citi zens. It is quite probable that the mill will be rebuilt, as Grand Forks is a great center for distributing lumber. -«- — • Fleming Will Lead. Huntington, W.

WATERURfIVES Continued From First Page. brojeen two weeks ago,, and he was in his berth when the Thingvalla crashed into the room. His bunk was cut away within six inches of his face. He managed to climb aboard the Thingvalla as she drew back. He was not so much as touched by the water. The Thingvalla's ' CHEW DID ALL THEY COULD to rescue the unfortunates and obeyed orders promptly. The Thingvalla's up per deck was not injured, but her bows were broken in from a point ten feet be low the deck. The dent was about twenty-seven feet in length and ran back above and below the water line to the collis ion bulkhead. Had it not been for that bulkhead, the Thingvalla would have gone down like a shot. Capt. Lamb, after the Geiser had gone down, and it was known that there were no passen gers in any of the lost steamer's boats, had the BOWS OF HIS OWN VESSEL protected as far as possible with straw mattresses and other materials to pre vent the water from entering. Distress signals were sounded and the ship laid to for daylight. The fog lifted about 5:40 o'clock. Between 10 and 11 o'clock the steamship Wieland, of the Ham burg-American packet line was sighted. She bore down to- and laid-to within a short distance • of our vessel. Capt. Lamb took a boat and went to the Wieland. Capt. Albers, of that vessel, readily conented to receive the rescued passengers and crew of the Geiser. The work of transferring was accomplished with only a single accident. A fifteen year-old boy, whose name I did not learn, HAD HIS LEGS CRUSHED. He was one of the Thingvalla's pas sengers. A number of her complement were also 'taken aboard the Wieland. The sea had become somewhat rougher by this time, and there were many lively scenes as the children and older passengers were lowered in slings to the boats. The able-bod ied passengers and the crew used the ship ladders. As we reached the Wieland the last of the Geiser's aban doned life boats floated out of sight. There was no fault to be found with the manner in which we were treated aboard the Wieland. NOTHING WAS TOO GOOD FOR US Even the passengers divided their clothing with the unfortunates from the Geiser." John Teuwild, a saloonkeeper, of Hudson, Wis., a round-faced bulky Swede said: "I was asleep when 1 heard the crash and hurried to the deck where I found quite a number of men attempting to loosen the boats. I saw no chance of saving myself there, so I rushed out, picked up a plank and jumped overboard. THE SCENE WAS HEART-RENDING. There must have been thirty-five heads above the water, but one by one they disappeared." Frederick C. Hansen, who lived in Perth Amboy, N. J., was advised to take a sea voyage for his health and sailed on the Geiser. He said: "I heard some body rushing through the companion way, and I rushed up, carrying my coat and shoes. I found two oars and jump ed overboard with them. The vessel soon went down and I was picked up." CAPT. MOLIaER DISAPPEARS. He Acquaints the Company's Agents of the Disaster and Then Goes Into Retirement. New York, Aug. 16.— As soon as the Wieland arrived in the lower bay Capt. Moller, of -the Geiser,' left the steamer on a revenue cutter, lie went directly to the office • of the agents of the company, where he was closeted a few moments with the agents. He only left word that the accident was due to the weather, and left without stating his destination. The rescued crew of the Geiser were taken to the Hotel - Denmark on the ar rival of the Wieland. Twenty-four of the passengers and crew of the Geiser, under charge of Second Officer Jorgen sen, arrived at the Hotel Denmark. THEY WERE Bit AWN V FELLOWS, curiously attired, and but few had either coats or stockings. Capt. Albers, of the Wieland, upon reaching quarantine, telegraphed the first intimation of the disaster to Capt. E. Berdenhauser, general superintend ent of the Hamburg line. Ar rangements were at once made for the reception of the rescued passengers in New York. Surveyor of the Port Beattie and his assistant. John Whelan, together with the agents of the Thingvalla line, met the Wieland as she reached her dock in Hoboken. The Geiser was one of four vessels owned by the Thingvalla line, and was CONSIDERED THEIR CRACK SHIP. Most of her passengers were Western people, who were booked by A. Morten sen & Co., the general agents of the line at Chicago. Mr. Mortensen is at preseut in Copenhagen. His partner, A. E. Johnson, is expected to arrive to morrow in the North German Lloyd steamer Saale. The Geiser was an iron screw steamship of I,SIB tons burden. She was 324.4 feet long, 30.3 feet beam and 22 feet depth of hold. She was built at the yards of Burmeister & Wain .it Copenhagen in ISSI. She had three masts, and was fitted with com pound inverted engines, had four cylin ders of 36 and 72 inches diameter, and 42-inch stroke. The Thingvalla is somewhat smaller than the ill-fated Geiser, being 301.5 feet long and 37.4 feet beam. She is registered at 1,630 tons burden, and was built at Burnieister's yards, Copen hagen, in 1874^ SMALL CONSOLATION. The Chicago Agents Able to Fur nish But Little Information. Chicago, Aug. 16.— Immediately on the receipt of the dispatch announcing the sinking of the Geiser a re porter called at the office of the Thingvalla company here. -In point of importance this office is only second to the New York office. Branch offices are established through out the Northwest, which are tributary to the Chicago office. These minor of fices reach a large Scandinavian popula tion, and the result is that the Thing valla line really the only one which receives the pattonage of that nation ality. No news of the disaster had been received and the agent in charge stated that several hundred passengers had left on : the ill-fated ship from New York. The Chicago office had sold about fifty tickets to people from ALL PORTIONS OF THE NORTHWEST. They were a class who were making a trip back to their old homes to visit friends and renew old associations. Later in the evening, whea the sad news had become disseminated, the of fice of the company was besieged by anx ious friends of some of those who sailed by the Geiser, but as the telegram re ceived from the ]Sew York office was very meager as to details, _", V. no CONSOLATION war GINEN them. The list of those who took pas sage from the Chicago office is about as follows : Andrew Ingebregtsen ; Mary Ingebregtsen ana their daughter Ida Mary ; A. G. Jonsen, L. P.

Pascal Porter, the boy revivalist who is now attracting the attention of Chris tian people throughout the whole coun- ; try, is only twelve years of age. He WM born near Madison, and was reared in .Jefferson c °" nt V. Though so young, he is remarkably eloquent. He is quite handsome.. He dresses in black when in the pulpit, wearing always knee breeches and black stockings. He is, as they say, a born preacher, having from his very infancy had a fondness tor the Bible, and. seems to be enthused with religious zeal and a de sire for speaking in public. He is thor oughly imbued with the responsibilty of his great work and wants to become a power in the cause of religion. He expects to be a great man some day, although only a boy preacher now. His chief delight is in conversation on re ligious subjects. His style of oratory is such as to impress Ids hearers with its studied character. it is like a decla mation and does not at first have any great effect upon his hearers. He tells ot his "call" to preach and of the early delight he had in studying the Bible, standing meanwhile almost motionless, with his eyes fixed on some particular spot, from which he never removes them. He quotes freely from the Script ures, showing his vast scriptural knowledge. He does not seem to try to introduce any original opinions. Hundreds are led to hear the precocious boy through mere curi osity, and many look on him as a mira cle. Occasionally he becomes rather incoherent in his quotations, though he never seems to be confused, leaving the impression that he has not yet the power of discriminating well enough to give proper weight to his argument. He preaches the doctrine of an everlasting, fiery hell, and entreats his hearers to avoid the pitfalls of life, and to prepare for a life beyond the veil of death. The child is plainly overworked, and at times his nervous strain is painful to witness.- He is a son of W. n. Porter, a farmer, and. the youngest child in a family of seven. His parents have al ways been enthusiastic believers in re ligion, and belong to the creed of Sec ond Adventists. They are greatly in terested in their son, and feel that they are blessed of God. He is in love with the work, and expects to give his life to it. He expects to take a theological course for a thorough preparation for his chosen calling. -a*»- . STABBED TO DEATH.

A Great Reformer Sees the Eclipse Last night, says the Washington Critic, when the moon was about one third in the shadow, Maj. Stofer, of the St. Louis Republic; joined a crowd of gentlemen on Fourteenth street who were watching it. He didn't notice the drift of the talk, and in a few minutes he was talking politics and tariff. He kept at it till the shadow was about two thirds over, and then, in an exciting moment, he arose and addressed the crowd on free wool : "Why, gentlemen." he said, "this country does not raise half the wool it consumes, and the robber batons pro pose to aggrandize themselves •by a system of oppressive and tyrannous taxation on the workingmen, who are >• Then he noticed the shadow for the first time, and stopped short. "Look at that d moon," he said in an awe-struck whisper, and dropped into a chair in a state of cold collapse, from which he did not recover until it was explained to him . that the . tariff was taking a rest and giving the eclipse a chance, but the major's nervous sys tem was shaky the rest of the evening. ■*» Waldo Is Under Bonds.
