VOL. XV. BENIGN HAS A BOOM. The Land Office Commission ership May Go to the North Dakotan. Re Will Have Lots of Friends at Court Beginning With Today. Hon. Maris Taylor Also Has His Lightning 1 Rod in Position. The Interior Department Un der the Harrison Re° inie in Bad Order. B] Washington, Feb. 28.— The admin istration of President Harrison will go oat leaving several branches of the gov ernment service in bad shape. The treasury and postoffice departments Will need a pretty thorough renovation, but in neither of those will there be tnythiug half so bad as will be found in the interior department. Theabu the pension bureau under Gen. Raum are well understood in all parts of the country. but it is not so generally known that the oflice ot the commissioner of the general land office is in bad repute from Minnesota to the Pa cific coast. Neither Gen. Noble, the dyspetic head of the department, uor the present commissioner of the land office, Hon. William M. stone, of lowa, aie charged with any intentional wrongdoing, but there will beany num ber of charge-; Bled against the conduct of the Oflice by ex-Land Commissioner Thomas 11. Carter within a week after the new administration takes hold. There is at present a sensational case involving a valuable mineral claim in Montana before Gen. Noble in which, along with other allegations. It is charged that Mr. Carter caused the de cision to bo hurried through in such a manner as to deny the defeated parties the Prlrllese of Appealing to the secretary ot the interior. There is a delegation of Duluth eentlemen on the way to Washington with complaints against the Duluth land officials, in which Carter is also mixed up, and the scalps of both Register Nichols and Ko ceiver Fraser will be demanded at once. While -Maj. Baldwin and the other Min nesota Democratic congressmen decline to give out any information regarding the matter, charges will be presented at once against the men who have had charge of the work of surveying and appraising the Red Lake reservation, and an investigation will be certain to follow. The men who will prefer the charges is reeard to the Red Lake reservation matter will also call the attention oT the department to the timber thievinc that has been going on in Northern Minne sota for so many years and has practic ally denu'ted the Fond (lv Lac and other 6niall reservations of their valuable tim ber. In this connection, it is evident that the selection of a good man for commissioner of the land office is all im portant, and it seems likely that the lucky man will be taken from the Northwest Gen. Maria Taylor, of Huron, s. I)., who is now here, is an active candidate, am! would make a splendid officer, but his chances of se curing the honor are not so good as those of Col. John D. Benton, of Fargo, N. D. South Dakota has not earned a great deal from the new ad ministration, while North Dakota has. There is a splendid organization in North Dakota, for the bringing into life of which Col. Benton is clearly entitled to a large share of credit. Then Cleve land wai given an electoral vote by North Dakota last fall, and lately a Bimou-pure Democrat was elected to the senate from the same state. Added to this record must be the fact that Mr. Cleveland is a warm friend of Col. Ben ton, and has great, confidence in him. >'o more popular appointment than that of Col. Benton could be made, and it is believed that he can have it if he says he will accept. Chairman Otto Peemil tor, ol South Dakota, arrived this eves lug to push the case ot Cien. Taylor, and ex-Marshal Dan Maratta and Judge Bennet, of North Dafyta, are also re cent arrivals, and are now looking over the field. The real Benton boom will arrive tomorrow, when Mate. Senator McCormack, of Grand Forks; Senator elect Roach and Col. Bentou, of Fargo, will reach the city. Koran With 1 liem. With them will come that veteran Democratic leader from Minnesota. Na tional Commttteemaa Doras. It is un derstood that Mr. Doran will warmly back the candidacy of Col. Benton in case the latter desires the oflice. This is not a state appointment, and it is al together proper for indorsements to be sent from any quarter of the country. The North Dakota men in the city make no secret of the fact that they want all the good of'iices filled with Democrats at once, and cite the indecent haste with which the Harrison administration acted four years ago. The resignation of Hon. M. L. McConnack as secretary of the territory was demanded by tele graph on March 5. and the land offices and presidential postoftices were filled In the coarse of a few months with Re publicans. The stalwart Democrats did not kick nor play the baby act then, and do not propose that the other fel lows shall profit by so doing this time if they can help it. Turpin Retains His '-'car. Washington, Feb. 28.— The greater part of the day was consumed in the consideration of an election case in which there was no interest manifested. Alter three hours' debate, Turpin (Dem.), from the Fourth district of Ala bama, was declared entitled to retain the seat which he has occupied since the opening of the present congress. The most important action was the passage without opposition of the bill continu ing pig tin and ore ou the free list. Daily ST. PAUL Globe. REPUBLICAN DEFEAT. Majority in the Senate Sub jected to Great Mortifi cation. Two Attempts to Go Into Ex ecutive Session De feated. Several Republicans Who Were Not Paired Did Not Vote. Distilling- and Cattle Feeding- Company Declared Not a Trust. Washington. Feb. 28.— The Repub lican side of the senate was subjected to great mortification today in its defeat by .lie minority side of the chamber on a motion which divided the two parties into opposite camps. It was a motion to proceed to executive business. Mr. Sherman made it and said that a brief executive session was important, but that lie could not give the reason. The motion was defeated. When the result was announced, and it was ascertained that no Republican senator had voted in fie negative, but that several of them who had not voted were not paired, there was some disappointment among Re publicans who had voted. The feeling found expression in the remark: "We might as well give the senate- over to the Democrats at once.'' A renewal of the attempt a couple of hours after wards met with a like fate. It was beaten by a majority of two. The im portant features of the day's session were the passage of the naval and ag ricultural appropriation bills and for regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia. PANAMA INQUIRY. Pacific Mail Officials Before the Committee. Washington-, Feb. 29.— B. Hous ton, vice president of the Pacific Mail Steamship company, testified before the Panama-Pacific Mail investigation committee with reference to the affairs of the Pacific Mail Steamship company. he said that before Feb. 1. 1898, when tfce coiv.raot between the Pacific Mail company and the Panama Kullwiy company expired, the officers of the Pacific Mail company went to the Pan ama company's officers to make a new contract The purpose, witness indi cated, was frustrated by threat of the Transcontinental association to cut oil the amount monthly paid to the Pacific Mail. Edward Lauterbach,a director and at torney of tin- Pacific Mail Steamship company, told of the effort* he had made since the break between the Pan ama Railroad company and the Pacific Mail company to have friendly rela tions continued. Mr. Drake, a me-mber of the executive board of the Panama Railway company, said that shippers hid been led to believo that service by the isthmus was a forty-days service, whereas it should be a twenty-five to thirty-days service, against fifteen or eighteen days by the railroads. The object of the subsidy to the Pacific Mail by the Transcontinental association was to eliminate the Pacific Mail as a factor in transportation business. Having ac complished this, the subsidy was now withdrawn. This closed the hearing. NOT A TRUST. Report on the Distilling Company Investigation. Washington,. Feb. 28. — The house Judiciary committee submitted the re port of lbs subcommittee which investi gated the whisky trust.

He told the delegates that the convention was packed in the interest of his opponent and that the primaries have been unfairly con ducted. He then formally withdrew his name from before the convention and asked his friends, especially the Germans, to vote some other ticket than that headed by Harrison.

The Ex-Governor Jtf ay Be Named as Montana's Next Senator Today. Clark May Conclude to With draw — But Two Days of the Session. Special to the Globe. Helena, Mont., Feb. 23.— With bat two days more remaining ot the third legislative assembly, the senatorial con test tonight is at fever heat. The oft repeated charee that a Democrat is en gaged in a wholesale attempt to buy Republican members is heard on all sides, but no definite charges of any ; kind are made. The ballot today in the joint assembly did not show any chance in the standing of the various candi dates. The probability is that tomorrow more than one ballot will be taken. On the first ballot Clark will make his su preme strnggle to get a majority. If he fails, and the probabil ity is that he will, then it is understood he will throw his vote to S. T. Hauser, who has stood loyally by him since he was made the caucus nom inee. If Hauser is not elected, then a Republican will be, or there will be no election. There will be sixty-eight votes in the joint assembly tomorrow, with thirty-five necessary to a choice. It Is believed Hauser can draw enough of the Dixon votes to £ive him the elec tion in case Clark voluntarily with draws. It is only on the contingency of Clark's voluntary retirement that Hauser will allow his name to be used. In case the governor appoints, the prob abilities are that Sanders will be the man, with Lieut. Gov. tiutkin second choice. Olysipia, Wash., Feb. 28.— Today's ballots for United States senator were without result. Attacked With a Hatchet. Special to the Globe. Aberdeen; S.

Anderson procured a hatchet and viciously attacked Rose, cutting him severely, and would have killed him but fur timely Interference. a NELSON'S BILL GOES. First of the Governor's Bene ficial-to-Farmers Bills Approved. A Hot and Earnest Battle in the House Over the Measure. Determined Opposition by Farmer Members Fail 3 to Stop It. Party Lines Drawn for the First Time on an Impor tant Vote. Party lines, so far as a vote is con cerned, were drawn yesterday for the first time in the house, and tho Republican "steering" com mittee got in its first really telling work. The special order for 3:80 was H. F. 889, commonly known as (lov. Nelson's bill. On the occasion when his excellency choked a man gently at the poetic town of Elbow Lave, he was lauding, it is said, ttie principles of this measure, and the farmers cheered him to the echo. Since then they have, so far as heard from, changed the tune Realizing what it may mean in the future, and the great power conferred on the grain and warehouse commission to work them weal or woe as it may feel disposed, they have sent up no resound ing shouts for its passage. On the iloor of the house it has been hotly opposed by representatives of farming constitu encies, but their opposition was dis counted ere the debate began. Yesterday tiie debate was long-drawu out and vehement. Were it not for the sake of going on record, every man who spoke might have saved his wind. Mr. Tnrrell, chairman of the committee ap pointed by the Republican caucus to di rect legislation, circulated quietly among the members daring the talking, and when it came to a vote so far as pos sible there was "a mule in every stall." And each one knew his gait, lie couM amble along for a distance rocord or canter to the post on signal. In arguing for the bill, some members talked in a fashion much resembling the action of a tub in a choppy sea, but none slopped over. Just so far they careened and tilted back again, but the noliiieal center board was r.luinb down, and eventually the eour.-"*. 1 !ai ! \sas cojj ered. The feature of the bill oLjkcUhl to was the provision for a license tee of IL. bin this was something the Repub licans would not relinquish. Speaker Lee made his first speech of trie session for the bill, especially commending the vesting of overseeing power in the board of railway and warehouse com missioners. As amended yesterday the opening paragraph of the first section will read: "All elevators and warehouses storing and handling gram, and situate on the right of way of any railroad at any sta tion or siding in this state other than at stations designated by law as terminal points, are hereby declared to be public elevators, and shall be ander the super vision and subject to the inspection of the railroad and warehouse commission of the state of Minnesota, and shall, for the purpose of this act be known and designated a? public country elevators and country warehouses." That was the only suction in any way discussed during the four solid hours of talk yesterday, and evidently it was considered the "milk in the cocoanut." Other sections might have been left out altogether for all the attention paid them. And the bill is a long one at that, containing ten good-sized sections. After the debate Mr. Greer, who had the bill in charge, gravely remarked to the reporters he thought the bill would pass. And they all looked wise in re turn and seconded the motion so far as the house is concerned. LICENSING OF ELEVATORS. Red-Hot Debute on the House Substitute Bill. Special orders for the afternoon ses sion of the house are coming to be a regular thing. Yesterday, immediately after recess, the house in committee of the whole, with Mr. Cotton in the chair, took up 11. F. 337, to regulate the haul ing and shipment of grain. A full house was in attendance in the expectation of an interesting if not an exciting debate, and the anticipation was not far wrong. The discussion was opened by Mr. Greer, who took the floor in favor of the bill immediately on its reading. He offered an amendment that gave rise to a loner, tiresome debate. It was to in sert the words, "except at terminal points." Messrs. McGrath, Gorman, Moore, Buck and Maguire took excep tion to the amendment as wrong in prin ciple and misleading. Mr. Greer gave way to the objections and offered an amendment to accom plish his object by inserting the words "other than stations designated by law as terminal points." This, too, was op posed, and Messrs. McGrath and Lmne mann said their people did not ask for . or want the bill. Mr. Greer quoted the planks of both j parties platforms touching the subject, I and said both had agreed last fall to give the farmers some measure of pro tection from the rapaciousness of the grain combines. He was willing to have stricken out anything that was consid ered wrong in the bill, but as a whole he considered it a fair and a good bill, in the interest of the small fanners of the state. Mr. Moore said that while the third party amounted to but little on the floor numerically, he would read the section of the People's party platform on the subject, which declared simply in favor of a free and open market. He thought the pending bill would not have any good effect in securing the desired re forms, and therefore could not sup port it. Mr. Gorman said that while the party platforms all declared in favor of legis lation to relieve tho grain growers, it did not follow that they would approve this bill. .;• • Mr. Rodger said that as the farmers did not seem to want the bill, he would move to report progress. Mr. Furlong had been unable to dis cover the slightest demand for the bill. He thought it would have a tendency to drive out independent buyers and heart ily seconded the motion of the gentle man from Ramsey. - ' ' . ■•.

The arrival of the first meintfer of the official family was the dawn of the new era of a Democratic administration, and the triumphant Democracy made the occasion one of great,' rejoicing. Elaborate arrangements had been made for the reception of the vice president, and the*committee did not permit the lateness of the arrival to interfere with the programme. A loud cheer went up -from the assembled crowd as the gaily decorated train of seven ears rounded the curve near the station at exactly G o'clock.

Sullivan. St. Lours, Feb. 2H.—\Vkh retard to certain utterance! credited to James J. Corbett, regarding John L. Sullivan, Hie latter today denied any knowledge of baring said anything regarding Cor bett to occasion the outburst. He had not. so far as he knew, been interviewed before since his arrival In St. Louis. OKI/ - (HARLy> /'NJiCKELI To the Associated Press representative, continuing the conversation, he said: "So far as Corbett is concerned, I have no ill will towards him because he defeated me, for that was my own fault, and I have no complaint to offer. The only objection I have to Corbett is that he is not on the 'level.' He is a man Without a country, and no one knows today whether he is an Irishman, an Englishman or an American. lam not alone in the opinion 1 express of Corbett. Every man inteiested in ring sport will eventually Join the ranks of the majority who have already formed like opinions to that 1 have just expressed; that Cor bett will not live long, and that in the history of the ring he does not figure as lie might have figured had he carried himself differently. You know, all the world knows, thai 1 have no use for Mitchell personally, but I venture the assertion he will bo the popular favor ite, the money favorite, in his coming meeting with Corbett. Cptbett knows this, every man who takes an interest in ring matters knows it, and the ma jority openly and the remainder secretly hope to see Mitch'ell win." "Do you think he can win?" "Frankly I do, unless Mitchell's phys ical condition is worse than I under stand it to be. 1 do not tjiink so because lam talking about Corbett; don't mis understand me, for I will give you my reasons for so thinking. It is admitted, to begin with, that Oorbett is taller and longer In the reach and that he will not mix matters unless driven into a corner, and that it is a difficult matter to drive him. He did not knocK ma out at New. Orleans; I simply fell from exhaustion in that twenty-first round. True, ho hit me almost at will, but of all the blows he delivered not one was sufficiently hard to knock out an ordinary man. You will recollect that I have also met Mitch:'ll,and am therefore in a positionto gauge the punishing abilities of the two men. Mitchell is twice as hard a hitter as Corbett, every bit as quick, far more cunning and tricky, and, to put it mildly, equally as good a boxer. In ad dition, Mitchell is 'game' to the core. There is not a suspicion of a yellow streak in his composition. He will, to use a common expression, 'tight at the drou of the hat,' and he cares very little whether lie Is in his own crowd or some body else's. As I have said, if his physical position is good and he is fit, as he undoubtedly will be, ho can get there, and Corbett will leave the ring badly beaten man." - ■; , v . ; ;-; WATER GOOD ENOUGH. That Is the Conclusion Reached by the Members of the South Dakota House. Resubmission Goes on the Shelf for the Session, Forty-Two to Forty-One. » Special to the Globe. Piekhe, S. D., Feb. 23.— Tho senate considered in committee of the whole the general appropriation bill presented by the senate committee on appropria- . tions. The appropriation bill carries an appropriation of about §030,003 for two years. In the house nearly the entire day was taken up in filibustering by the Prohibitionists against the "passage" of the bill resubmitting to a vote of the people the prohibitory clause of the con stitution. The amendment proposed was of a local-option nature, permitting cities and towns to license the sale of liquor. The house remained in session till 7 o'clock, when a vote was reached, aud the bill was lost by a vote of 41 to 43, thus defeating resubmission at this session miles s the vote be reconsidered tomorrow and changes made to the other side, which is doubtful.

Stillivater Has Snow Enough to Last All Summer. Special to the Globe. Stim/water, Minn., Feb. 28.— The all-absorbing topic in this city today was the storm of the preceding day and night, and seldom, if ever, has a more severe blizzard been encountered here. The streets are tilled with huge drifts, and, although hundreds of men and teams were employed all day. they have made little headway in clearing up. The storm began early Monday morn ing and increased in violence un til nearly J'll trains were abandoned. The first train to arrive hero after the storm was at 2:35 p. en. today, when a St. Paul & Duluth passenger train, due here the preceding day, pulled into the union station. The first train OB the Omaha road arrived here a few minutes later, and brought with it about thirty passengers from the main line train from the East, who were snow-bound ; all. of the preceding night at Still water Junction. One of the passengers, in describing their predicament, said that the hungry passengers soon got away with everything eatable in the dining car, and early yesterday morning waded through tliH snow to ti farm house a few rods from the track, where they received a fresh supply of food. Con ductor Waiters left here at 16 m. yester- ! day, expecting to go through, but when he reached the junction he received orders to turn bade, which he did. It took three engines to pull the train, and in many places it was almost impossible to get through the heavy snow. Snow plows are at work on all roads, but chances are that it will be some time before trains are running regularly. No word has been received from the logging districts, but Stillwater loggers are afraid that (he storm was so severe in the pineries as to make work impossible. Business In this city was practically at a standstill until ooon yesterday, the snow prevent ing nearly every one from leaving home. The city snow plow was used to clean the sidewalks, and each side of the sidewalks is lined with banks of snow. Country roads are drifted so badly that farmers are unable to get out, and consequently little has been heen heard from the country districts. Fortunately, the storm was not accom panied by severe cold, and, as nearly as can be learned, there was no suffering in or near Stiliwater.* BLOCKED IN WISCONSIN.

The City Muffled to the Very Ears in a Deep Mantle of Snow. A Cposs Section of the Arctio Regions Deposited About St. Paul. Pedestrianism Difficult, and Most Other Locomotion Impossible. Railroads in a Sad Plight. Every Schedule Badly Demoralized. A possessor of a snow shovel yester day moraine; was looked upon with a respect not equaled b3 r the owner of a ducal coroaet in the old country, to Bay nothing of an American heiress. Ha was king, and was crowned with a haughtiness calculated to drive a poor millionaire into a fit of insanity. The snow king knocked at the gates of St. Paul and Minneapolis and entered without the due proeessof an invitation. Old Boreas captured the city in a style even more expeditious than the com plete surrender of a young lady in love to tho man of her choice. Everybody closed the doors and waited for the snow to stop. No one but small boys of the city dared go out, and even their adventurous spirits were aarnoened by the immense accumulation of the beauti ful. If a person could have been in the air over the city yesterday and looked down upon tiie strings of people traveling down the various streets where the street car lines had been visible the day before, he might have thought that the entire army of applicants for office under the recently elected government was on its way to Washington via St. Paul. They were all there with their dinner baskets and lunch holders. The procession was only the array of work ing people on their way to ttie business portion of the city. Such a fashion as w (\/o X' 'J/\'.-»!'/^e f^ X , — ■ _*^ .j was instituted: The assertion thai necessity always gives way to fashion was never more f,ul!y illustrated than yesterday morning. Sidewalks were ostracised, plank walks were left with out the print of a foot, and down the center of every street was mail.' a path worn by the hundreds of overshoe-clad feet. Unlucky was the first man who stepped out of his door on the com inencetnent of the morninsj procession. Curtains were raised, faces pulped from wiudows, and when two or three ol tlur
