2 SAINT PAUL. NKW BORING TOOL Invented by a Woman, and Will Cut a Square Hole. Mrs. Clark, of 105 Grove street, in this city, has invented and almost perfected a piece of mechanism that will seeming ly realize a fortune for her when placed on the market. It is nothing less than an attachment for boring a square hole with an augur. A good description cannot be given without a cut to illus trate. Mrs. Clark's arrangement for accomplishing the feat alluded to above is simple, yet apparently effective. It consists of what looks like a small steel bit, just large enough to clear the blades of the augur, which it surrounds. Some slight changes are necessary in the augur point; for in stance, it would have to be grooved like a gimlet. The model shown in the Globe office last night was not perfect, but the principle is seemingly all-right. The little steel box alluded to above is really a knife of four blades, which fol lows the course of the augur, and, as the inventor claims, cuts a perfectly square hole. A patent has been applied for, as the principle of this tool is en tirely different from that of a similar instrument recently brought out across the water. - Children's Hat and Cap Novelties Blossom forth in great profusion at the usual location in the "Plymouth" hat department) Seventh and Kobert.

BORN TO GO FORWARD Review of the Movement to - Establish the Freest Re ciprocal Relations W^th the People of the Great Dominion on Our North western Border. From a Modest Beginning* Tremendous Results Are Fast Developing . Maj. D. R. McGinnis Admirably Sketches the Move to Abolish Tolls. The movement for the promotion of reciprocal trade relations between the United States and Canada has assumed such force and magnitude, and the coming international reciprocity con vention, to be held in St. Paul June 5 and o. next, promises to he so largely attended that some account of the or. gin of the movement in the Northwest cannot fail to be of interest. At a meeting of the Chamber of Com merce of Grand Forks, N. D., last July, a resolution was introduced asking the secretary to correspond with the various commercial bodies of the Northwest, including Manitoba, asking for an ex pression of views on the desirability of calling a convention to promote better social and commercial relations be tween the two countries. Letters were written to the chamber of commerce and Commercial club at St. Paul, the board of trade aud Jobbers' union at Minneapolis, the chamber of commerce and Jobbers' union at Duluth, the chamber of com merce at West superior and the board of trade at Winnipeg inquiring if they indorsed such a movement and if they would send delegates to a convention at Grand Forks. The response was favor able in each case and at a subsequent meeting of the Grand Forks chamber the replies were read, which created much enthusiasm, and on motion a rec iprocity committee of ten was ap pointed,composed of the most prominent citizens of the city. This committee met on July 2:1. and on motion from 11. P. Pucker it was decided to 51 old a Hoei pro city Convention, or conference, as it was modestly put by the committee. As the. movement was then purely experimental, it was thought best to confine the call for dele gales to Manitoba and the northwest territorities of Canada, and the states of North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin in the United States, which was accordingly done. The lan guage of the official call was for "a non nolitical joint conference," and its de liberations to be confined lo "the exten sion of trade relations between the Canadian and United States Northwest, navigation on the great Jakes and a deep water ship channel from Lake Su perior to the' Atlantic seaboard." The latter was added because it was a subject of overwhelming interest to every commercial interest from the terri tory named in the call. anil because,as the ownership of all the great lakes, ex cept Michigan, is divided between Can ada and the United States.and their out let, the St. Lawrence, Hows almost en tirely through the Dominion, any prac ticable plan for their improvement on a magnitude suitable for deep sea coinuierce would evidently bring about concert of action be tween the two countries and the in terests of Manitoba and our North west are identical in that respect. The signers to the call were R. B. Grif fith, Charles Band, H. P. Pucker, E. B. Jacob!, M. F. Murphy, George B. Winship, W. 11. Brown, W. It. Bierly, Alex Mather, E. Nash, A. G. Johnson and H. L. Whithed. As acceptances of the call and notifi cation of the appointment of delegates began to pour in it became evident that the convention met a popular demand, but when the convention held its open ing session on the morning of Sept. 1 its sponsors were not prepared to see the trains come in from all directions loaded with delegates, not only from important places like St. Paul, Minneapolis, West Superior, Duluth and Winnipeg, but also from such thriving, though smaller, points as Crookston, Devils Lake, Valley City and St. Cloud. St. Paul in the Van. St. Paul from the first had given hearty encouragement to the movement, and its delegation num bered twenty-three prominent repre sentatives of its various commercial bodies. Duluth and West Superior had live delegations to the number of over twenty each, while Minneapolis had a goodly number from the board of wade and Jobbers' union in attendance. Winnipeg sent a strong delegation of its best people who were on hand thelirst day, which was still further augmented the next day. Brandon and Portage la Prairie sent some of the most able par ticipants in the convention. It was a bright autumn clay, and it was an inspiring sight to see the dele gates from two countries meet in the cause of international amity and com merce, and inarch in procession through the bright sunshine from the Hotel De cotah to the Metropolitan opera house, where the sessions were held. The . convention, composed as it was of live business men, immediately or ganized by the appointment of commit tees on credentials, order of business, permanent organization and resolu tions. The convention was called to order by President George B. Clifford, of the Grand Forks chamber of com merce, and then Hon. James Fisher, M. P. P., of Winnipeg, was chosen tem porary chairman, and Joseph H. Beck, of St. Paui, was made temporary secre tary. The temporary organization was followed by the permanent, organization by the election of Gov. A. H. Burke, of .North Dakota, as chairman, and James Fisher as vice chairman, and D. K. Mc- Ginnis as secretary, and Charles N. Bell, of Winnipeg; J. 11. Beck, of St. Paul, and A. S. Thompson, of. Duluth, as assistant secretaries. The deliberations of the convention were "marked from the first by the heartiest good wilf between the dis tinguished representatives of the two countries and by a unanimity of senti ment on the questions at issue. On the second day Chairman E. V. Smalley, or the committee on resolu tions, reported in favor of the reduction of all Restrictions on Trade as far as consistent with the revenue requirements of each; in favor of per fect freedom in construction of railways across the boundary, and in favor of the "enlargement of existing waterways and the construction of additional means of water communication from the great lakes to the sea, and that the commerce passing through said channels, whether natural or artificial, should be free from all. tolls" Before adjournment sine die the con vention effected a permanent organiza tion by naming as president Gov. An drew 11. Burke, of North Dakota; sec retaries, Charles N. Bell, S. A. Thomp son, J. H. Beck and D. R. McGinnis, and executive committee, A. C. Fraser, of Brandon. Man. ; P. 11. Kellev and J. A. Gregg, of St. Paul; J. C. Eliel. of Minneapolis; T. S. Esterbrook, of West Superior; F. F. Mclver, of Duluth, and A. Macdonald, of Winnipeg. The executive committee was in structed to call the next convention within six months at St. Paul, but after wards, by general consent, the time was extended and the date of the secoud convention made June 5 and 6, 1894. Since the hrst convention the senti ment in Canada and the United States THE. FAINT PAUL I^AILY '"GLOBE: SUNDAY -MORNING. MAY 14. ISD3.— SIXTEEN PAGES. has steadily crystalized into an almost universal demand that the two people, similar in language, race and customs, should be no longer prevented by bad government from enjoying the fullest freedom of trade consistent with the revenue requirements of each, and when the St. Paul convention was called by the executive committee on April 25, in accordance with the growing senti ment, it called for delegates from all the Northern states of the, Union and all of the Dominion of Canada. That it will be RfeXTflM An International Event of. the greatest importance is already shown by the declaration of the the var ious municipal and commercial bodies from Montreal on the East, to Puget sound on the West, to send large dele gations of their most prominent citizens to-t)articipate in its deliberations,whicl>, as at Grand Forks, will be confined rigorously to the subjects named in the call. The Commercial club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Jobbers' union, the Board of Trade, the Builders' Exchange 1 and the Chapter of Architects, of St.' Paul, have a jointcommitteof forty-one members as a joint committee to ar range tor the convention.

Offices have been estabished in the com mercial club and an active correspond ence is maintained with the various , municipal and commercial bodies throughout the United States ahd Can ada who wiil send delegations to the convention, Montreal, Cleveland, Detroit, Duluth, West Superior, Minneapolis, Fargo, Grand Forks, Wi nona, Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage La Prairie and various other cities have already responded to the call and speakers of international reputation will address these delegates in convention assembled. If the vast mass of corre spondence already received means any thing, it is that the people in the region of the great lakes and the country to the westward, both in Canada and the United States, without regard to party affiliations, demand that in the matter of the present oppressive tariffs main tained by both countries against each, to the detriment of their social and well being, that the least government is the best government, and they should therefore be abolished or, at least, be reduced to a point which will permit them to enjoy a commerce with each other which cannot help but be mut ually profitable.

TO COST $150,000. Splendid Business Block to Bo Constructed for Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk & Co. The Structure Will Front on East Third, Broadway and Pine Streets. _^- Another handsome building, costing* $150,000, foi the wholesale district of St. Paul, was definitely decided upon yes terday afternoon. The new building will be occupied by the prominent wholesale liar dware cor poration known as the Fan-veil, Ozmun & Kirk company. The site selected fronts *200 feet on East Third street. 100 feet on Broadway, and 100 feet on Pine street, extending to an alley, where ample Jtrackage gives close connection with the Northern Pacific, Great North ern, Omaha, Soo, and, in fact, with all the railway lines that center here. The property is now occupied by the Mast, Buford & Burwell Co.. whose lease expires this year. The new build ing will be of brick and iron, six stories high on the three streets, and seven sto ries on tin. alley side. The street fronts will be of St. Louis pressed brick, and Chaska brick will be used in the rear wall. The new building will have 140, --000 feet of floor space, and will be so constructed that iron can be piled up to the ceilings, if necessary, on any floor. The floors are to be able to bear the un usual strain of 500 pounds to the square loot. Col. Chauneey W. Griggs, who re turned from the Pacific coast about two weeks ago to visit his numerous friends here, last evening confirmed the facts stated above, lie owns the property mentioned, and said that the new build ing will be a very substantial one. That was a leading requirement of Mr. Strong in arranging for a ten years' lease for the hardware company. Mr. S.rong has selected E. P. Bassford as architect. Freeman P. Strong, vice president of the Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk company, seen last evening by a Globe reporter, said: "Yes, we have at last secured the desired location for our hardware bus iness. Col. Griggs closed the deal with me this afternoon. The facts are as you have them in your report. We need the additional room, and the conven ience of trackage and railroad facilities right there cannot be equaled in the city. Such an accessible part of the wholesale district, too, it is just the place lor our rapidly growing business. The lease will run for at least ten years. Our concern had th 6 choice of naming the architect, who will be E. P. Bass ford, The building will cost about 6150,000." Steamer George Hays leaves foot of Jackson street at 2 p. m. for Minnehaha. FOUND THE LOST. The Sequel to the Shooting Affray Yesterday Morning. When the clerks at Hess & Damcke's notion house arrived at the rooms yes terday morning the stock presented the appearance of having been struck by a cyclone. Investigation showed the place had been ransacked by thieves and over $300 worth of cutlery and razors and $1(5 in cash had been stolen. The police were notified and Detectives Meyerding aud McGuiggan detailed on the case. The firm occupies the third floor of the buildings at 2SS and 286 East Sixth street. The persons who robbed the place were the four men Patrolman Parrado sur prised in the alley back of the building at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The detectives looked the ground over and decided that after the struggle the patrolman had with the thieves during the night the stolen property must have been planted in the neighborhood. A careful search was made of the out ho uses, luildings and vacant lots in the vicinity, aud the detectives were re warded by finding a portion of the goods hid in a sewer pipe on Fifth street. This is the second time the firm has been robbed in the last four months, and yesterday afternoon the proprietors had a force of carpenters at work en-* deavoring to make the hallway and entrance to the building more burglar proof. Night Watchman Riley, of the Northern Pacific building, who was shot by Patrolman Parrado In mistake for one of the burglars, was : seemingly all right yesterday, although his shoulder was quite sore. ..-.-. .

Oi ly Eighty-Seven Candidates^ for Secretary of the ; Board. The initial step has been taken for the proposed new state house. ' The capitol commission met in the .gov ernor's office yesterday, and took the first action. There was a full at tendance of the members, and the governor, by virtue of the powers con ferred upon him in the capitol bill, presided. Chan iii ng Seabury was elected * vice president of the board, and he was;' also chosen temporary secretary. Very little was done, as a matter of course, at" yesterday's meeting, but plans were mapped out for future work, however, and the indications are that no time is to be lost in effecting something definite. It was decided to advertise for architec tural plans and specifications under the provisions and restrictions of the law. This will be done at once, and competi tion from all sections is expected. The board had before em a collec tion of photographs of capitol buildings of other states, which were scanned with interest, but no one style was se lected from the lot. It was thought best to await the plans and sketches that will be submitted by the leading architects of the country. Messrs. Seaburry, Lamberton and De Laittre were appointed a committee upon permanent secretary, and they will report at the- next meetine, to be held in the -governor*? office June 28. There are merely eightty-seven candi dates for secretary. lt was decided to have 500 copies of the law printed, and an adjournment was had to the Minnesota club, where lunch was served. Yesterday afternoon the commission viewed one of the proposed sites for the structure, and pronounced them selves particularly pleased with it. It lies high, is sightly and commands an admirable view of the city, while it is in a splendid neighborhood, so to speak.

George Gray, well known in St. Paul, died at the Clarendon hotel yesterday morning under circumstances which at first pointed to suicide. Dr. Marquis, who was called, was informed by Mrs. Gray that her husband must have taken a dose of some kind of drug, and had probably taken too much. The usual antidotes were administered by the physician, but without avail. The remains were taken to Donnelly's undertaking rooms, and an autopsy "will be held today. Gray has been an invalid for the, past four years, and only returned to St. Paul on Thursday. His wife, a music teacher, has been me support of her husband for some years. Gray having been unable to uo any work owing to a stroke of paralysis. Friend's of the deceased do not put any stock in the idea of suicide, and say if death resulted from any drug it was owing to an overdose being taken. Gray was forty seven years old, and has two grown children by his first wife, both residing in this city. His sister, who lives in Chicago, was notified of his death. The Great Columbian Suit Sale.
