FAVOR RECIPROCITY. Senators Find the Sentiment in St. Paul Is Against Protection. Minnesota Business Men Want to Market Their Wares in Canuckia. State Oil Inspector Nichols Comes Forward With an Ambiguous Report. He Says Nothing About Fees Collected by Him or His Deputies. The senate committeo •on relations with Canada took possession of the chamber of commerce at 10 o'clock yes terday morning. Vice President D. R. Noyes in a brief speech welcomed the visitors, and Senator Hoar replied. The jovial-looking old senator stood behind the table on the platform, with Senators | Allison and Dolph to his right, and Senators Hale and Pugh to his left. He stated that the object of their visit was business. After the ineffectual attempt to conclude a satisfactory, treaty with England this country had found itself confronted by many serious questions, not only that of the Eastern fisheries, but those of the wide-extending rela j tions between the two countries. The I Dominion of Canada is a rapidly grow ing territory with which the United States cannot avoid the most inti mate relations. Speaking for himself he needed light on the subject and the object of this trip was to obtain the opinions of representative business men all over the country. St. Paul and Min neapolis could materially aid them in their search for information. The com mittee would be glad to hear any in formation the members of the chamber , could give on commercial and transpor tation relations. The question of annex ation was outside of their province. That was a purely Canadian question. The United States does not force alliances or make conquests, so that the question of political union is one to be decided by Canada itself. While the railroad question would naturally present itself, so far as commercial relations were con cerned, the committee had nothing to do with it as a railroad question, this part of the subject being investigated by the interstate commerce committee. But so far as transportation of merchandise from and to the East was concerned, the committee could accept testimony. W. B. Dean was then put on oath and testi fied at some length. The substance of his testimony was as follows: St. Paul had had a large business with the Northwestern British provinces prior to the repeal of the reciprocity treaty in 1865 and the estdblishment of the Canadian tariff in 1876. The population was then rapidly on the increase through immigration. Prior to 1876 ft. Paul merchants had done a large business with Canada, and the traffic on the Red river was as large as on any other river in the country. This had led to the building of several railroads. The question of closer relations seemod to him superfluous. It seemed hard to St. Paul merchants to have their trade cut off by au impenetrable barrier to the north. He considered that unre stricted reciprocity was what was needed with a country so rich in agricultural, mineral and lumber resources as Canada. The Northwest of . Canada needed closer commercial relations with this country, being nearer to it than to the eastern part of Canada. He did not think reciprocity necessarily meant annex ation, which he regarded as a very distant affair. St Paul would be greatly benefited by closer relations. The balance of his re marks contained statistics of the growth of the West and of shipments in bond through Canadian territory. ' E. V. Smalley considered (he tariff an an noying and detrimental barrier between two so closely allied countries. C. E. Marvin thought the duty on butter should be abolished, which would cause a tremendous trade between the two countries. He advocated the same principle in the stock business. J. Burwell said the Northwestern Canadians had to pay heavy freighl rates on agricultural implements, which they could buy in St. Paul if the tariff were removed. . D. R. Noyes was emphatically in favor of unrestricted reciprocity. At 12:45 the commission adjourned and was entertained at lunch at the Minnesota club. At 2 p. m. it met again, Senator Hale being absent. J. M. Egan was asked about the Manitoba ailway system, which he explained. Senator Pugh asked what effect a restric tion against American products would have on the Manitoba road? Mr. Egan thought there was not enough freight carried to make much difference. Senator Dolph asked what the traffic con sisted of over the Manitoba? Mr. Egan replied, of articles made in the United States that mustbe had in Canada. He said he thought there was little or no wheat shipped. In reply to a question about the Soo road, he thought that . most of that road's traffic was in bonded goods. The peo ple of Northwestern Canada were in favor of the national policy, and only among a few was there any sentiment in favor of annexa tion, Capt. W, R. Bowen, a lumber manufact urer, said he represented several lumber com panies which cut about 40,000,000 feet a year. lie was not in tavor of - free lumber. The Canadian lumbermen .. paid for what lumber they cut, when they cut it. It only cost them on this basis from 75 cents to $1.25 a thousand on pine. They pay no tax, they only pay for what they cut and are free from loss. In Wisconsin and Northern Min nesota the lumber had to be bought right out. Their labor was much cheaper, as many lumbermen come from the eastern provinces of Canada to worK for from $22 to S'JO a month, who say they had worked for from $13 to $16 the previous year. The ma jority of the lumbermen here were Scandi navians, men who lived in the state. Senator Allison asked about the size of logs, and elicited the information that the average size was twelve to thirteen inches. The tim ber was being cut out of Wisconsin very rap idly through the agency of the railroads. The mills could each cut over a section a year. Senator Pngh asked how, if all the lumber were exhausted and you had to go out of bus iness, would it do to take the duty off lumber? A good deal of amusement was caused at the question. , The senator put Capt. Boweu through a cross-examination, the result of which was a large quantity of valuable in formation on the lumber business. Channine Seabury explained the effect of the Soo road on the country. During the summer, he said, the lakes regulated traffic rates, but during the winter the rates went up very high. The Soo road is a distinctly Minnesota concern, and it is regarded as our own. Minnesotans look with anxiety at any restrictive legislation against the Canadian Pacific railroad. The Soo is maintaining a very Independent position and acts as a reg ulator of rotes. Senator Hoar asked if he thought five trans continental roads would carry freight cheaper than one or two. Mr. Seabury thought they. would, and that no combina tion could befoimed to keep rates up. The Soo road had refused to become a party to the raising of rates during the past few weeks. He did not think the Canadian Pa cific would make rates on wheat. Senator Hoar asked if he thought a combination of seven roads would make a lower rate than a combination of six. Mr. Seabury thought they would, and that eventually these seven . roads would combine. The rates, he thought, were not based upon capital stock, but what could be got out of the public, and would in crease in direct ratio as the number of roads decreased. , ...-■.'■' Gen. E. F. Drake said if he were 'a mer chant he would favor union with Canada; if he were a farmer he might have a different view; it he were a statesman he might hold an entirely different view. He saw no reason why Minnesota should not have a laree man ufacturing industry. He thought the Can adian provinces had little or nothing to eive us in return for what we could give them. We had a vast unoccupied territory, and the idea seems to be to fill it up as fast as pos sible. Commercial union would increase the desirability of Canada as a place to live while he thought there was plenty ■ of land in the United States for many years, Canada could not make arrangements with us consistent with the interests of England.. For the tariff of the whole country must | be the same against England. This : country could not manufacture for Canada aeainst England. Canada now has railroads of her own. and is not dependent on Minnesota in any way. Agriculturally speaking, he was confident that if union benefited Canada it would prove prejudicial to the United States. While he thought it not a very great acquisi tion, his opinions would be very different on * the subject of political uuion, as he thought * ... ..... 7 . .- * - -.

Driscoll thought the settlement of the country northwest of 7 us, would help this country. The way to net Canada was to send our merchants and farmers into Canada. Sen ator Dolph plied Dim with pointed questions, which Mr. Driscoll seemed at a loss to know how to answer : specifically. , One question' asked by the senator : was, he said, "a buga boo." Senator Dolph replied by. saying he had thought that a gentleman occupying the position of Mr. Driscoll would have been willing to answer a civil question In ;' a . civil way. Capt. Drake, Chauning Seabury and other-- made a few more remarks. 7£> The general tendency of the testi mony taken yesterday was in favor of reciprocity, and the members of . the committee, say that this has been the case wherever they have gone. The senators leave at 9 o'clock this morning for Minneapolis, where they will take testimony, and go East either to-night or to-morrow morning. WHAT ABOUT THE FEES? Oil Inspector Nichols Files an Ambiguous Report. There was a sad, sickly smile on the face of the lion. Sam Nichols as ha yes terday entered the state auditor's de partment. Mr. Nichols is the oil in spector of Minnesota. This office has been one of the besj^ political plums in the state, and when Gov. Merriam re warded his faithful political henchman with this appointment, Mr. Nichols chuckled inwardly as he toasted his feet over the drawing room tire. The fees of this department have been placed at $20,000 per annum, and the office has ever been the cynosure of every politi cal leech and office grabber. With such a handsome competency within his grasp, for two years at the very least, Mr. Nichols' disgust had no bounds when a shameless legislature reduced the management of the oil inspector's, department to something like a business basis, and awarded him a stated salary of $2, -MX) per: annum. The law which created such a radical change went into effect March 22, and it provides that the oil inspector, on the loth day of every month, shall make a monthly statement in detail under oath to the state auditor of all fees collected by himself or received from his deputies. Two weeks ago the Globe announced that this statement had not been filed, notwithstanding some two months had elapsed since the law went into operation. Tbis appears to have re freshed . the memory of Mr. Nichols, for he yesterday s filled a state ment with State Auditor Braden giv ing the number of barrels of oil in spected during April and May. The statement gives the barrels inspected in April to be: County. Bbls.l County. Bbls Clay 02IWadena 92 Houston .*..: 85|Freeborn 42 Olmsted. 120 Rice 119 Steele 35|Winona 127 This gives a total of 682 for the month. The number inspected in May is given as 971: Goodhue 122iDodge 40 Olmsted 145 Waseca 87 Freeb0rn.... ...... 71 Houston...'..'. 45. Steele... 40 Mowers 45 Clay 10 Slue Earth 130 Rock 17 Faribault ......... 50 Winona 147 Watonwan 22 Mr. Nichols, by way of explanation," follows up the figures with these words: ; Previous to the passage of the law regula ting the salary, etc., of the state inspector of oils, legislature 1889, there was inspected by me and on hand at that time 7,54 a : bar rels of oil. The inspection was due me, as arrangements had been made by my prede cessor to collect for the inspection ' of oil from the oil companies when the oil was sold. I therefore followed the same rule. When S. B. Willis, Esq., left this office he also had on hand and inspected by him 4,525 barrels at St. Paul and Minneapolis, and 4,000 barrels at Du luth. These amounts he has collected for. The oil inspected nt Duluth was brought to - St. Paul and Minneapolis for sale, the inspec tion for the same having been paid for at Duluth. .The amount has been deducted from the sales at this point. ; **..'■ In accordance with this arrangement. Mr. Nichols finds he owes the state $54.60 for April and May, shown as follows: -• ..':-.. •:-.-'.,•;* .-; -Barrels. Total amount Inspected from March 22toJuuel. 7,818 Amount inspected and on hand pre vious to March 22 7,545 - 273 Due to the state on inspection of 273 barrels $54 CO To say the least, Mr. Nichoi's state ment is somewhat ambiguous. At the outset he sets forth that the barrels in spected in May and June were 1,653, and then says that the total number inspected from March 22, when the law came into operation, to June 1, was 7,Blß— that is 6,165 barrels were in spected the concluding ten days of March, and not included in the detailed report. However, an indulgent public may overlook this apparent contradic tion; but now the act is being, put into practical operation, they will expect to see the letter of the law adhered to or know the reason why. It would there fore be advisable for Oil Inspector Nich ols to note that his monthly statements are required to give in detail "all fees collected by himself or received from his deputies." There is no mention made about the number of barrels in spected. . DRUNKS GAIiORE. Three of Them Kan in and Mulcted by White Bear Authorities. Sunday was a field day for drunks in White Bear, and three were gathered in by the police. The most noted was W. S. Dable, of St. Paul, who, with a com panion, was driving around the streets in a buggy, lashing the horse, etc. Da ble was the leader, and though his friend tried to stop him, it was of no avail. At the intersection of Clarke and Lake avenues ihey came in con tact with a tree, and both were thrown to the ground. The buggy was smashed and Dable was picked up unconscious and conveyed to the cooler. This morn ing he was assessed $15 and costs. Philip De Mers, of St. Paul, was also gathered in and assessed $10 and costs for being drunk and disorderly. John Upgren, of Stillwater, tarried witb the wine cup Saturday night. He was run in and given $10 and costs. He immedi ately proceeded to fill up again, and was run in once more, and this morn ing paid the little sum of $20 and costs. Beginning to-morrow evening the electric light company will commence lighting the village with their lights. The plant is now in good running order. Henry Schneider, who was arrested on complaint of his father Saturday for robbery, was tried to-day and found guilty. He was committed to the reform school. A LiYNX-EYED MOTHER. She Finds Her Son Stowed Away on a Boat Bound for St. Louis. Late last night a woman, giving her name as Mrs. Mary Dorrity, boarded the steamer St. Paul at the City line wharf, and insisted that the boat be searched for her son Johnny, who, she said, had many times expressed his de termination to stow away on one of the river craft and go to. St. Louis. Search was made, and the suspicions of the anxious matron verified by finding the missing Johnny coiled up in a dark cor ner, together with several loaves of bread and other edibles contained in a sack, and which were to have sustained the long-headed juvenile on the trip. The boy was taken home by his deter mined mamma, and will await the ar rival of the next boat. Tho family re sides on the fiats. Measures of Relief. The Adams Express company will cary, free of charge, any i contributions for the sufferers at Johnstown, Pa., when consigned to some designated de partment authorized by the governor of Pennsylvania, or other officials. The Bodega orchestra, of fifteen pieces, including Amy Borchert, cornet soloist, will give a musical entertain ment at Turner Hall Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the proceeds to be devoted to the Johnstown fund. ; -m> Always Take the "Soo Ltine" . . ..

So far there have ■ been examined about 150 talesmen, and but eleven jurors are sitting in the box ; anxiously waiting and praying that the" ordeal cease and commence on its' sec- . ond and more interesting part. The case was called just a week ago this morning. Yesterday court was opened as usual, and the attorneys at once pro ceeded to swear the twelfth ' juror out of the eleven talesmen remaining upon the venire issued on Friday. These were all examined and no one found sufficiently ignorant to cover the last juror's chair. Judge Kelly then adjourned court and awaited the return of a special venire of twenty-five more talesmen at 3 o'clock. At that hour the judge resumed the bench and called the court to order, again to exhaust the new panel without securing the very scarce, last juror. At 6 o'clock the court adjourned, and the drag work will go on to-day until the jury . box is tilled. Clara Blatz appears to be extremely in terested in all the proceedings and sat in court yesterday without the blue glasses she has worn heretofore". Im mediately behind her sat Pearl Wil son, the Brainerd witness, upon . whom the defense relies for strong evi dence of the prisoners occasional insan ity. It is not at all likely that the tire some affair will make much progress to day, and a new venire will probably be issued, and if the keystone of the jury structure can be found the trial will begin in earnest. The trial, from pres ent indications and facts gleaned from a • close association with both sides of the case, will be shorter than the majority is led to expect, lt may, possibly, take five days or a week, but three days will be nearer correct. The state can prove its case very briefly, and it lies with the defense to prolong the trial. THREE JUDGES ON DECK. BThree judges carried the day, Judge Kelly the criminal and Judges Vilas and Keir the civil. Judge Brill was too ill to continue work, and was advised to discourage his ailing at home. Judge Vilas opened and adjourned court for him, and then heard the causes set for trial in his own room. :*> SALOONISTS FALL. OCT. '_.< There has been a collision between*; the bodies and . interests of two West side saloonists doing business on the cor- i ncr of Fairfield avenue and South Rob- * crt street. To extricate themselves, , suit has been brought in the district; court by F. E. Dandurand against Fred } F.

Charles Boettcher, as administrator of the estate of Charles Boettcher Jr.. de ceased, sues the St. Paul &Duluth Rail road company for $5,000 dam ages for the death of the deceased through the neg ligence of the company. Young Boett cher was fourteen years old and em ployed by the company as car oiler, and while so discharging his duty on the mornine of March 22, 1888, the com pany carelessly and wrongfully backed a long line of cars upon and over him while he was under a stationary car oiling its wheel boxes. From the inju ries received, Boettcher died a few hours after the accident, and to the damage of his family in the amount asked. A VERY SMOOTH PRISONER. Charles T. Wright, alias James 11. Griffith, arrested at New Ulm charged with impersonating a United States postoffice inspector, had a hearing be fore United States Commissioner Spencer yesterday afternoon. Several postmasters and postmistresses were ex. amined, and the case continued to the 19th inst. Wright is the shrewdest and smoothest prisoner that has been before the commissioner for a lone time. .He refused the services of an attorney, and proposed to conduct his case alone. Henry Wood, assistant to District At torney Baxter, conducted the examina tion for the government, and was taught a thins or two by the prisoner's sharp cross-questioning. It is the opinion of the government officials that Wright has Mr. Wood .on the hip, and that the government cannot make a case against the prisoner with what Mr. Wood can find and do for it. Wright sat before the commissioner as if prose cuting, rather than being presecuted. He is evidently versed in the law, and availed himself of . his knowledge ad mirably. When Mr. Wood finished asking the witness questions, without materially strengthening : the prosecu tion, the prisoner would turn to the witness and ask: "Did I take anything from you?"' "No." "Did you give me or show me anything ■of value?" "No." .."Did I ask you for any thing, and did I represent to you that I was a postoffice official?" "No." "Did you show me your books because I compelled you?" ' "No." ■*?WRf9BF -Jggsf j He showed by his well-directed ques tions that he had committed no offense whatever. The law states that— 7; Any person representing himself to be a government official, and by such representa tion effects to cheat or defraud the govern- ; ment, or its agents, such person shall be guilty, etc. Wright has robbed, J cheated or de frauded nobody now known, and, while he is held under $1,000 bonds to appear at his next examination, he 7 will * prob ably be released. His actions in exam ining the fourth-class postoffice books,' and other offices and institutions, natur ally float the query, for what ends was Wright doing all this mysterious work. The theory most credited by detectives and police is that Wright was looking over that district, locating safes ana noting the accessibility to money draw ers and other places of Interest to burg lars. The : notes and ,' diagrams : found on bis person give this theory a good foundation, and it Is : presumed that Wright was beiug followed by a gang of robbers," with whom he communicated, who availed themselvas of his drawings and notes and robbed or intended ex tensive burglaries throughout the!terri tory where Wright had obtaiucd facts of the whereabouts of things of value and well-loaded safes of merchants and -banks; * , .

Young; Attorney Leftwich Must Xot Trifle With the Court. .: J Seven decisions were * yesterday filed in the supreme court: State ex rel T. J. Leftwich, relator, vs. The District Court of Hennepin ' County, respondent. Syllabus— This court may review an order punishing a person ior contempt of court Where the penalty imposed is for the benefit ot a party the order may be brought here by appeal. If .it is only in punishment of the .offense, in other words, is for a criminal con tempt, there can be no appeal, and certorarl will lie. An order adjudging a person guilty .of* criminal contempt and imposing a pen alty will not be reversed unless it is so ap- . parent that no contempt has been committed as to indicate that the court used its authority capriciously, oppressively and arbitrarily. Counsel trying a cause, while he may except to the rulings and orders of the court, is bound to respect- and obey them. If, after the court has ruled against a particular course of examination of a witness, he still persists in the same course of examination,, he may be guilty of a contempt Order affirmed. i ' Gilfillan, C.
