LIVERPOOL— Arrived: Gallia, Boston. m The inventors of winter bicycles will have to keep their products on ice for soi. Ie time. Rhodes made more of a success in carrying peace into Africa than in car rying war. Salvationists have taken to bicycles in New York, in their efforts to run down the sinners. Did Prof. Andree have an idea that a trip to the pole was going to be a pleasant little summer excursion? Eugenic of Battenberg is heiress to two queens. If she were only a poker player, what luck she would be in. Nansen now wants to go on a hunt for the south pole. Why doesn't he take something easy and find the Ven ezuela line. Nansen returned home early enough to appreciate the fact that for three summers he escaped the clutches of the ice barons. Andree's proposed balloon trip Is a failure, but it is from lack of sand and not from lack of gas that he has given it up. The machine being used on the street railway lines for welding the rails is a roaring success. Too much of one to please teamsters. Bryan is tempting political fate to sleep in the Catskills, the place where Mr. Rip Van Winkle enjoyed a snooze several years ago. It was a poor day for the interna tional yachts Vencedor and Canada yesterday, as politicians seem to have a corner on wind. Li Hung Chang^ can't half appreciate America if he doesn't have a little ex perience with the Chinese exclusion law at Ellis island. Ex-Secretary Smith will wake up this morning to find, like many another man before him, that his withdrawal has not left any hole. Weyler's stenographers put In an other Sunday at their usual sport of routing the insurgents and killing off a score or two of the enemy. Milwaukee is full of Republican league club politicians today, and many of the politicians are full of Mil waukee. Thus the balance is pre served. When Mr. Bryan meets Mr. Hill at luncheon the man from Nebraska might appropriately remark to the man from New York: "It's a long time between 'I-am-a-Democrats.' " Wait till the veterans run the gaunt let of the 6 o'clock bicycle brigade in St. Paul streets. They'll admit that marching through Georgia was a pleas ure excursion compared to It. A Chicago man puts the padlock and chain on his daughter's feet instead of on the bicycle. The scheme is said to be more effective than the old way for keeping the bicycle at home. If Emperor William is to continue painting pictures and writing poetry, the lose majeste laws cf Germany ought to be abolished, or at least greatly modified in Justice to the suf fering public. Mr. Platt says he is of the same mind regarding his refusal to accept the gubernatorial nomination; then he winks his eye at the proffers of friend ship from the men who slaughtered Fassett in '91. "The coming national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Milwaukee will be ar. event of excep tional importance," says the Philadel phia Evening Telegraph. The above statement ought to silence the oft-re peated charge that Philadelphia doenn't know that the war is over. Phlllie will hear about the St. P_ul affair in a year cr two. THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE WEST SIDE IS HURT BECAUSE THE G. A. R. DECORA. TIOXS COMMITTEE IS GIVING IT THE GO BY. DRESSING TROLLEY POLES. REPORT THAT EACH DECORATION IS COSTING 90.70 IS CAUSING MICH SURPRISE. INTERESTING MEETING IS HELD Where Those Present Give Expres sion of This Feeling— Talk of Discrimination. "How much does thirty yards of bunting, of indifferent variety and fleeting permanency of color, one na tional flag, 4x2V_ feet, and a rosette the size of a bushel basket cost the decorating committee?" was a query breathed in considerable anxiety at a meeting of the West side decoration committee at Mayor Doran's residence last night. "Nine dollars and seventy cents," came a voice from behind the book case. "No, no," exclaimed everyone In pale green surprise. "Not so much as that. Why, who told you so?" "Mr. Strickland said so, and he ought to know, being the chairman of the committee on decorations and the man who is running the whole thing," replied a voice which sounded very much like that of A. M. Bartlette. And then there came a chorus of in dignant protests. The dialogue was the result of a suggestion that the same system of street decorations which is used on Seventh street, Wabasha and other thoroughfares, be used on South Wabasha street on- the other side of the river, from the bridge to the bluff. The decorations looked so simple and inexpensive that the West siders thought similar ones would do for them. But they were reckoning with out their hosts. Those trolley posts cost more to dress than any one sup posed, and several collars wilted simul taneously when the sum was men tioned. Then It was all figured out for the benefit of those present, and several very sarcastic remarks were passed at the expense of the decoration commit- tee for such extravagance. The West siders have just fourteen sets of trolley posts they want to fix up, but, sakes 1 alive, they didn't propose to pay $9.70 per pair, not by a house afire. "I do not consider that we are get ting adequate results for the money spent." It was the mayor speaking, and his words were looked upon as of ficial. "I do not know where they can possibly spend $9.70 on one of those trolley post arrangements, but if Mr. Strickland says so, I suppose it must be true." "I would like to have the contract at ■ that price," remarked some one else. ! "It seems like a reckless waste of money. At that rate it wil cost us j $135.80 to decorate fourteen sets of posts, and I guess we will have to give j it up." There is considerable indignation on the West side over the alleged extrav- I agance. But that is not all. The peo- J pie on the other side of the creek are i also much displeased because, for sooth, the decoration committee are - slighting the West side entirely. Mayor Doran had something to say about that, too. "It seems to me very inconsistent to scrape the West side for contributions to the decorations fund, getting all the money possible, and then refusing to j make any appropriation whatever for this side of the river. We expect to entertain 4,500 of the visitors on this ' side, and it's a shame." The mayor's opinion was Indorsed by ' all those present. It appears that a portion of the official carriage route to be taken when the visitors are \ shown about the city will be across the j Robert street bridge and through two j or three of the prominent streets on that side of the river. Although the | West side people have subscribed very ! largely to the fund, they have been j unable to secure an appropriation. | ; Hence it became necessary for A. M. I Bartlotte. Harry Franklin. Mr. Cham berlain and other enterprising West j siders to make a canvass upon their I own responsibility. The field had been I "thoroughly scraped," as his honor put | it, but their success was not what was looked for. although some money was i pledged. The West side people want | some decorations and they want them i badly, and the chances are that they will have them. They do not propose ' to pay $9.70 for each trolley pole, but ' they will do the best they can for the money raised. Then the West siders do not like an other thihg. They say the folks over on Dayton's bluff are "cheeky." The West side has enough to do without contributing to "sectional enterprises." It appears that the other day Day ton's bluff had a grand blow-out for the Bluff G. A. R. fund, and their emissaries penetrated into the four quarters of the town, selling tickets. The West side people responded gen erously, thinking their own funds would be forthcoming from the general committee, but they were disappointed. "Why, they sold twenty-five or thirty tickets right around my house," exclaimed one angry lady. "I think it was a shame." The matters will all be looked into, and if the general committee still re fuses to do the proper thing, there will be some very angry people on the West side. The people over there want to decor ate the bridges in a suitable manner. The high arches of the Robert and Wal>asha bridges, the tops of which are 100 feet above water, are in sight from nearly all the incoming trains, and from all the streets at the top of the bluff. These structures and the hitrh bridge should be dressed up in bright I colors, according to the belief of the ! citizens in the west division. Another meeting will be held soon, and these mattoi. will be disposed of. The West side people will also have a flag rais ing, probably Saturday afternoon. The time and place will be announced later. • » » The schools selected by the commit tee on quarters for the veterans, were supplied with mattresses yesterday.

The committee desires to impress the public that this concert will furnish the only opportunity of hearing the singing of the Children's chorus.

FRfiJaGIS VICE HOKE AN EX-GOVERNOR OF MISSOt R] NAMED TO SUCCEED SECRETARY SMITH. . CHANGE COMES SEPTEMBER 1. AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE APPOINTMENT MADE BY CLEVELAND*. HE HAS BEEN TALKED OF BEFORE When the President Formed His Cabinet Francis Was Played for a PKSce. BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., Aug. 24.— Announcement was made by President Cleveland at Gray Gables tonight of the appointment of David R. Francis ex-governor of Missouri, as secretarj of the interior, vice Hoke Smith, wh< recently resigned because of his finan cial views. Mr. Francis will probably assume office on Sept. 1, as that is the date named in Secretary Smith's resig nation. SOMEWHAT Sll)UE\, YYu*_l_ u t«>n Surprised, at .be Nomi nation of Francis. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24^— The an nouncement that the president 'had ap pointed ex-Gov. Francis, of Missouri, to succeed Mr. Smith as secretary of the interior, rather surprised Washington tonight, more because of the sudden ness with which it followed on the heels of the announcement of Mr. Smith's retirement than because of the select ion. There was a feeling that the presi dent would probably select Mr. Smith's successor from the middle West as the South was already well represented in his official family. Speculation there fore went to Missouri, Indiana and Illinois, and the names of ex-Gov. Fran-' cis, ex-Congressman Bynum and others, naturally suggested themselves. Gov. Francis took a strong stand in favor of the gold standard in tho preliminary battle for delegates to the Chicago convention, but he and his associates were disastrously beaten in his state. During the convention he was also very active. Since the con vention he has, it is said by his friends here, given no public utterance as to his position with regard to the Chicago ticket and so far as known, has not, at hast actively, allied himself with the movement for the Indianapolis conven tion. Gov. Francis throughout his politi cal career has been a strong Cleveland supporter and warm, friend of Mr. Cleveland and the administration. It is recalled that when Mr. Cleveland was at Lakewood making up his cabinet, prior to entering upon his second term, ex-Gov. Francis was .summoned there and there was a strong impression for a time that he would be given a port folio. He had been maypr of St. Louis and twice governor of Missouri and be fore Mr. Cleveland's nomination be came a certairiity, was, pressed for the presidential nomination.: Gov. Francis is well known in Washington. He bas been here frequently and is exceeding ly popular. He was here only ' a few days ago and it wae thought when he left that he had gone to Gray Gables. Despite the high honors, he has al ready achived, he is still a compara tively young man, In the neighborhood of fifty, strong and vigorous of sunny temperament and genial disposition. Although tall of stature, he somewhat resembles Secretary Moiton in personal appearance. He has a florid complex ion, sandy hair and moustache. Secretary Smith evinced the greatest satisfaction when he heard the name of his successor. He said in response to questions: I have the pleasure of an intimate per sonal acquaintance with Gov. Francis and esteem him most highly. He is a man of marked ability. Of course, I feel a deep in terest in the department and I do not know anyone to whom I would more willingly turn it over. Secretary Smith immediately telegraphed his congratulations to Go\\ Francis. Secretary Smith _ Plana. ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 24.— Secretary Smith, according to his present plans, will leave Washington on Monday and go to Lincolhton, N. C, where he will spend- a few days with his family, who have been there part b-f the summer. He will then return to Atlanta and at once resume his law practice. Secretary Smith does not now contemplate active work in the political fight. He' regards his step in leaving the cabinet as the strongest action he could take in the Interests of the regular Democratic nominees. That he will later de termine to speak in the interests of the ticket is possible. The New Secretary. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 24.— Ex-Gov. David Bowland Francis is nearly forty-six years of age. and was born Richmond-, Madison county, Kentucky. Oct. 1, 1850. Hjs education was received in Washington university, this city. His first political position was that of dele gate to the national convefition of 1884. In April, 1885. he was elected mayor of St. Loui,. In 1888 Mr. Francis was elected governor of Missouri. He has always been a consistent Democrat. Mrs. Francis \4 a leader in St. Louis society. They have four children. ANDREE COMES v HOME. His Polar Voyage Abandoned for Tbia Year. TROMSOE. Norway.

Jimmy Handler, of Newark, knocked out Jack Reid, of Ireland, in three rounds^ The Wisconsin Senatorship. MADISON. Wis., Aug. 24.— The senatorial situation among the Republicans Is begin ning to attract a great deal of attention. Spooner is at present .the only avowed candidate in the field, but rumors are afloat of a number of other candidates likely to be sprung on the legislature. Ex-Go*"**. Hoard has been talked gf as the candidate of the Fa Follette wing, b*pt ; hia express denial of any senatorial aspirarjoss, made at the state convention, put hijri ont of the race. Public curiosity is now fixed upon La Follette himself, as the potential opponent of Col. Spooner and his friends are daily besieged with letters from people throughout the state inquiring as to his intentions. La Follette himself declines to discuSs the matter. Death forr Two Tramps. ST. CLOUD. Minn.. Apij. 24.— A rear-end collision, caused by Conductor Jones* train breaking in two, occurred Just east of St. Cloud on the Great Northern last night. Some twelve empty cars were derailed and smashed into kindling wood. Two bodies, badly dis figured, were removed and now await identi fication. The two unfortunates were stealing a ride in an empty box car, '"-which was turned upside down In the ditch. Freehorn County Ticket. Special to the Globe.

(Long and enthusiastic applause.) I have no fear of the farmer— the most conservative, the most considerate and the most sturdy of our splendid civilization. They are not easily misled. They have no aim in politics but an honest one. In 1892, when free trade was the battle cry of our op ponents, it was said that the farmers would follow this heresy, but it was not so. It was the cities which followed the free trade heresy in this country. (Cries of "That's right") The country voted for protection while the great cities did not. So this year they will vote against free trade and free silver: they will vote for a home market and for a dollar as good as gold in every mart and market of the world. (Great applause.) Maj. McKinley's response was re peatedly interrupted with applause, and it was quite lengthy. He said the hardships of the American farmers came from the fact that the farmers' best customers, the American workingmen, had been largely out of work for the past three years. The Republican party could not dispose of the competitors, but it could help the American market for the far mer. The home market under protec tion consumed 95 per cent of American agricultural products. He said that the home market is the best market; that the factory was the farmers' best friend; that prosperity had come to the farmer through the factories, not through the mints. He said he had no fear of the farmers' vote. In 1892 they had stood firmly and loy ally against free trade. They would stand against free trade and free sil ver this year. That to lower the stand ard of value would not give the farmer any actual gain, but the panic of a free trade and. free silver policy would, but add to the hardships of the last three years. He quoted from the presi dential messages of Fillmore, Jackson and Buchanan, to show that a low tariff policy had always worked to the hardship of agriculture. He said free silver would not cure over-production of farm products, or the under-con sumption of the American people. Free silver would not close the wheat fields of Russia. India, or the Argentine Re public. That the farmer as well as the working man wanted his pay in an honest dollar. KEYNOTE BY COCKRAN. Slated for Temporary Chairman at Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 24.— 1t has been practfbally settled by the executive committee of the National Democratic party, that the temporary chairman of the convention shall be taken from the East and the perman ent chairman from the South. The men who will preside have been informed of the fact that their names will nnt be made public until after the meet- PRICE TWO CENTS— { „?;_"?_!■*£ ing of the full National dbmmlttee here one week from tomorrow. Several names were mentioned at headquar ters, but the plan seems to be made that Bourke Cockran, of New York, be temporary chair man, and Donelson Caffrey, of Louisiana, permanent chairman. Mr. Cockran has not yet engaged quarters at any of the hotels, but the men at the head of the movement are confi dent that he will be in the convention. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, chairman of the National committee, will call the convention to order. It is believed at headquarters that the convention will not last longer than two days. The statement printed In the East yesterday that Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, would accept the nomination for president under certain conditions, has attracted wide attention at gold standard headquarters. It is conceded that the gold standard Democrats of Kentucky will be an important factor in the convention, and if they conclude that Mr. Watterson ought to have the nomination they may be able to swing the convention to him.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 24.—Mil waukee is filled today with distin guished Republicans from every state CHAIRMAN L. A. ROSING. Leonard A. Rosing, the new chairman of the Democratic state central committee, is the youngest man who has occupied that re sponsible position in the history of the party in Minnesota. Born in Sweden in 1861. he came to this country with his parents when eight years of age. The family located in Goodhue county, where they have since re sided. Young Rosing, who was educated in the schools of the district, went into commer cial life at an early age, and by thrift and shrewdness laid the foundation for the pros perous and successful mercantile house that he is now the head of In Cannon Falls. Mr. Rosing had a natural fondness for the activ ities of politics. Without the itch for office, he early enjoyed assisting others to fight their battles. A man of firm convictions, he allied himself with the Democrats, and in 1890 went into the campaign to help re-elect O. M Hall. In 1892 Mr. Rosing thought Hall should be re-elected, but the landslide that carried from Maine to California, brought here by the convention of the National League of Republican clubs. At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, the conven tion will open in the exposition build ing, and there will be one or more ses sions each day until the work of the league is completed. The two contests in the convention will be over the pres idency and the place of holding the next meeting. Charles H. Gordon, of Chicago; John L. Webster, of Omaha, and D. D. Woodmansee, of Ohio, are the candidates for the presidency, and it looks as though there would be a very spirited contest. The impression is that Gen. McAlpin and Mr. Gordon will be the leading candidates. The cities that are striving to get the next convention are Boston, Detroit, New Orleans, Omaha, Portland and Chat tanooga. At this early day it is impos sible to tell what city stands the best show. Gen. McAlpin and his staff ar rived this morning. BAY STATE CONVEXTIOX. Sonnd Money Men Will Meet To day. BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 24.--Consider able interest is shown in the probable outcome of tomorrow's state conven tion of the gold standard Democrats, and especially as to who will be the delegates at large to the Indianapolis convention. The favorites are John C. Lane, ex-Mayor Nathan Matthews Jr. and Hon. Thomas J, Gargan. The fourth selection is even more doubtful than the others as there are several aspirants. Speeches will be made by Col. Fellows, of New York; Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin; ex- Ccngressman William Everett, and other prominent leaders of the party. The platform is being drafted by Char les Warren, of this city, and it is ex pected that it will emphatically indorse President Cleveland's administration, and oppose any compromise with "Mc- Kinleyism." Kanaaa National Democrat**. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 24.— The state con vention of the gold standard Democracy will assemble here tomorrow. The chairman of the state committee, Mr. Kimball, stated tonight that 300 delegates would, be in attendance. He added that the cpnvehtion would consti tute "the flower of the Kansas Democracy." Thomas Benton, of Leavenworth, has been slated for chairman of the convention. Among the few delegates who have arrived here. It seems to be agreed that the convention will elect delegates to the Indianapolis convention, and that they will be instructed to vote for a new national ticket. It Is doubtful, how ever, whether the convention will put another state ticket in the field. The sentiment tonight seems to be adverse to such action. Game Laws Defective. FARGO. N. D., Aug. 24.— Attorneys assert that the North Dakota game law is in valid. While the law decieares hunting, ex cept within certain dates, to be illegal, it pro vides no penalty for punishment of offenders, and all suits brought against alleged viola tors can be successfully contested. If this be so, money paid for licenses is thrown away. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL I SOCSETY. " i ■ i— a— — w_- _-__/ RICE STREET GfIHQ SUSPECTED OF THE SUNDAY MORN* I!*G MURDER AT LAKE ELMO. TWO OF THEM ARE ARRESTED. HARRY WHITE, BROTHER OS SPECK, WHO MURDERED J. R. HARRIS, IS ONE. HARRY ROSENQUIST, HIS PAL, Is Not at All a Stranger to the Pollcfl ot the Twin Cities— Details of the Arrest. At 2 o'clock this morning Lieut. I'othen and a detail of officers arrested Harry White and Harry Rosenquist at the residence of Mrs. White, Harry, White's mother. The arrest is a very important one as it is believed by the police that the two men under arrest are the men wanted for the murder of Thomas Curlin at Lake Elmo on Satur day night. Both are young men, about twenty-two years of age. Harry White is a brother of Joe or "Speck" White, who is now doing a life sentence at other good men into retirement brought fle feat to Mr. Hall. In 1894 Mr. Rosing was persuaded against his will to run for the state senate in the Twenty-first district. He was defeated, but he made a gallant fight, and reduced the normal Republican majority of the district very materially. This is the only time he ran for office. He has served on local and congressional committees, and his ability as an organizer and his md 'fatlgable energy, of the sort that never recognizes de feat, won for him the attention of older and more experienced politicians. When the re organization of the state central committee was begun, Mr. Rosing was pointed out as a likely candidate for the chairmanship. His election to that Important office was a blow to the Republicans of the state, who know his resources and ability as a manager and work r Mr. Rosing is the father of three children' and lives with his family In the prettiest town, in the Cannon valley. Stillwater, for the murder of James R. Harris, of Minneapolis. Not much is known about the case or the exact nature of the case against the men and neither one would do any talking after they had been arrested and locked up. The arrest was made on information given yesterday to the police at Stillwater. The authorities were informed that White and Rosen quest were at Lake Elmo on the night of the murder and were seen a number of times between dark and 11.30 o'clock. LAURIERS POLICY. He Defends It In the Canadian Par. llament. OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 24.— The debate on the address was proceeded with in the house of commons today. Mr. Mc- Innls, member for Vancouver, B. C, moved its adoption, and Mr. Lemleux', member for Gaspe, seconded the mo tion. Sir Charles Tupper, as leader of the opposition, replied. He stated that Mr.. Laurier was returned to the power on other than the real issues of the day. The people have not pronounced on the trade policy of the late govern ment; the government had secured power by pursuing one course of tac tics in Quebec and another in Ontario, Sir Charles admitted that he had made a mistake in underestimating the im portance of the matter. He also frank ly admitted that he had been disap pointed at the result in the province of Quebec. Sir Charles Tupper, in con clusion, said that American government would not consent to renew the reci procity treaty of 1854. Mr. Laurier made a very eloquent reply. He said the government of Sir Charles Tupper was defeated because it refused to reform the fisc_l policy, because it was corrupt and extrava gant and because instead of appealing to the intelligence and common sense of the people of Quebec, he appealed to their religious prejudices. As to the Interview in the Chicago press, he (Laurier) was only carrying out that policy which was outlined when the late government appointed a joint com mission to look into the canal system. It was his desire to be honest and out spoken in regard to the dealings of Canada with their neighbors and, therefore, he had no hesitation in say ing that treatment of American fisher men by Canada in 18S6-S7 and in 1888 was not such as It should be and at one time a commercial war was in sight between the two countries.
