BUCKINGHAM'S DYE&B&. THE ST. PAUL UCOB^ TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1901. nn m m PARTY OF DEMOCRATIC ASID POP LUST STATESMEN GO TO A..tSKA PETTIGREW HEADS THE CROWD In the Company Are Senator* Marlon Butler, John P. Jones and. Horsey, and Congress man Sulzer. .: ■—■—~~ St. Paul yesterday was a halting place for a notable gathering of sena-tor*. ex-senators and a real live congressman from New York, whose fiery utterances have, on more than one occasion, gain ed for him newspaper notoriety far and wide. The statesmen were all headed for the West and all will visit the gold fields of Alaska- before returning to the East. Pleasure Is ostensibly the object of th 3 trip, but it is surmised that no desir able opportunity to invest surplus shekels will be overlooked. The party that dined at the Ryan yes terday afternoon was composed of Sena tor John P. Jones, of Nevada; ex-Sena tor R. F. Pettigrew, of -South Dakota; ex-Senator S. W. Dorsey. formerly of Arkansas; ex-Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, and Congressman Will lam Sulzer, of New York. With them were several mining experts, who, pre sumably, were also on a purely pleasure trip. These were R. M. Catlin. of San Francisco; H. G.. Catlin, of New York; and J. D. B. Coates and L. A. Coates, or Atlanta. Ga. None of the visitors felt inclined to discuss political issues, ami all of them were reticent as to the mining Intentions of the party. Senator Jones said it was too hot to discuss politics of any kind. He was off on an outing to escape all mention of "shop," and he did not propose to spoil his enjoyment of the trip by discussing issues that everyone knew all about. Ex-Senator Butler, who Is chairman if the National Populist committee, was more garrulous, and found time to dilate upon the future policy of the Pops, who, he said, would in future go It alone. He felt confident that this would yield them more votes than they had ever polled before, and would make them a more l.otent factor thin they had <v<r been before. He c mceded tV at the silver question was thoroughly dead, and hoped that it would never be revived. MONEY ENOUGH NOW. All the party contended for, in his opinion, was enough money to transact business and maintain" the equilibrium of prices. He admitted that the supply of gold was sufficient for present purposes, and did not care what the basis of coin age was, as long as there was enough of; it to go around. 'The Populist party," he said, "is the progressive rarty of the South. In our state it exacted legislation to encourage manufacturing, which has brought so much prosperity to that section. We are now protectionists, of course. New Eng land had the benefit of that system for a long time, while the South was fur nishing the raw material to make the people up there rich. It Is our turn to prosper now." '"■'' Ex-Senator Dorsey, who Is now a resi dent of New York, confined himself to a eulogy of Gov. Odell, Who is, he said. one of the best executives that the state Had ' ever had. Of his native Arkansas the former statesman had nothing to say, being more interested in the success of the trip to the north on which he was about to embark. Congressman Sulzer Is taking his sec ond trip to the'north, having been a vis itor to Alaska in lEOO. He talked poli tics "barely long enough to say that trie Democrats had everything in New York cinched. He would concede his political opponents nothing. " ■: . :,:„"»; Ex-Senator Pettigrew, being a frequent visitor to the Twin Cities, was wary, and ensconced himself in a cool room in his hotel and would see no one not con nected with the party. ••:" * j,t«*> The statesmen left last night over the Northern Pacific for Seattle and from there they will go to Prince of Wa^s island. After .that, other well known camfs will be visited, and it Is not' un likely that Dawson . will be included .^ the itinerary before the return trip 13 commenced.. ■.- -i^.*.tV;. , -_^ THAT EXTRA SESSION, GiVY. V.iK SANT SAYS HE WILL, CALL O.\K. The managers of the Republican party I in the state are earnestly endeavoring to ! dispel all doubts of Gov. Van Sanfs ' calling the extra session of the legisla i ture next winter. The governor la now 1 being quoted as having vehemently aa ' serted that he would keep his pledge to the state to call this session in February, ! 1902, for the purpose of having the leg ! islature act on the report of th» state 1 tax commission. There are prominent men in the party who sincerely doubt the extra session ever being called. They give heed to i the power of the politicians, who do not j want such a session, and besides hold I that the work of the commission cannot be completed in time for the legislature to reconvene in February. DICKMAN MAKES GOOD. YVAIIASHA COI'XTY SHERIFF IS RE- IXSTATEI) BY VAS S.VXT. G. G. Dickman, sheriff of Wabasha county, has so fat arranged matters with I the state authorities that the recent order ' of Gov. Van Sant under which he was ; suspended from office has been withdrawn. Mr. Dickman had deposited with the proper officers of his county the sum or $40U to cover the amount of personal property taxes of 1899, for which it was said he had not satisfactorily accounted to the county commissioners. The list will now be gone over by the commis sioners at their meeting of next month, and when it is determined what portion of the claims are uncollectable and what portion collectable the differ ence will be returned to Mr. Dickman.

These figures are sup ported by the records of both the Cham ber of Commerce and the Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's association. The shipments for June were higher than for any month for years. There were 3S,7Oi>,- OOd feet shipped out in the month. It took 14,096 cars to hold this immense amount of lumber. From these figures one would think that the supply of lum ber in Minneapolis would soon be ex hausted, but there is yet in piles in the city about 2,000,000,000 feet. From this it appears that the lumber business of Min neapolis is a very large institution, and that to deal with the amount in feet of lumber handled there each year requires the use of large figures. TAKES NO CHANCES. Water Hoard Cannot Accede to Mar. liet Committee's Keenest. Because of a lack of funds, the com mittee having in charge the improve ments on the new market site recently asked the water board to install. on the grounds on Jackson street a water meter for a six-inch pipe and wait until next year for the money. The meter means the expenditure of about $250. and.the board has just de cided not to take the risk. It is a case \ of one department of the city owing an other money, and the board has reached i the conclusion that a bird In the hand la worth two in the bush.

HIM 1 11 HI O.\E OF MINNESOTA'S MOST ACTIVE CITIZENS SIDDESLV PASSES AWAY DIED IN CHICAGO HOSPITAL Prominent in Bn»ine»» and Political Circles, He Became an Avowed Lender in His State. Phillip R. Winston, of the firm of Win ston Bros., railroad contractors, Minne apolis, died very suddenly at Auguatana i hospital, Chicago, yesterday morning at 10:30 from the effects of the heat. F. Gfc Winston, his brother, was with him at the time of his death, but thus far the particulars that have reached the Twin Cities have been very meager. Phillip B. Winston departed with his brother Sunday evening for Chicago over the Omaha road and at that time was apparently In his usual robust condition I of health. It appears that while on the! train he was overcome by the heat and i by the time he reached Chicago yester day morning was so seriously ill that he was taken at once to the hospital instead of a hotel. After reaching the hospital he did not revive but continued to sink until at 10:30 he expired. A telegram an nouncing the sad news and requesting that it be communicated to the members of the family, was receive 1 at the oftli c of Winston Bros., in the Globe building, Minneapolis, yesterday morning. OF ENGLISH ANCESTORS. " Phillip Blckerton Winston was a son of William Overtoil Winston and Sarah Anne Gregory Wintson, both descendants of the early English colonists. He was born at Hanover Courthouse, Va., -Aiur. 12, 1545. His early education was received at home, but at the age of sixteen years he was sent to an academy where he re mained until the death of his father, when he returned home to work on the farm. He enlisted in Company E, Fifth Vir ginia cavalry in 1562, and although a mere boy he won a lieutenant's commis sion and served on the staff of Gen. Thomas L. Rosser. He participated with great credit to himself in a number of engagements. At the close of the war he returned to the farm, but in 1872 he came to Minne sota and located In Minneapolis. At that time his capital was small, but he pos sessed a fund of determination and in dustry which has proved of great value to him in his business career. For the first two years of his residence in Minne sota he- engaged in a government survey and at the close of that time, with his elder brother, F. G. Winston, he estab lished the firm of Winston bros., general railroad contractors. This firm has be come known throughout the entire North west and in the "ist twenty-five years has built thousands of miles of rail roads. ; Mr. Winston was married at Minneap olis March 30, 1876, to Katherlne D. Stev ..ens, daughter of Col. John H. Stevens, the pioneer settler of Minneapolis. There .also survive, him two- children, Philip B. Jr., and Nellie Winston.-''." '. PROMINENT IN POLITICS '; Mr. Winston was. a staunch and loyal , Democrat and for many years was a prominent figure In" the' politics of tho state. He served his party as a leader and a worker and also held many posi tions of distinction with honor to him i self and the Democracy. He was elected j mayor of Minneapolis in 1890 and his ad ministration was ho characterized by dignity and sound business policy as to admit of but little criticism from even hid political opponents.- He also served sev eral terms in the state legislature, but more frequently declined than accepted political office. This was manifested both two and four years ago, when he might have had the Democratic congressional nomination from his district, but declined for business reasons. Although never an enthusiastic free silver advocate he re* j mained true to . his party and to the choice of the party for the presidency— j Wiliam.J. Bryan. .. ,: _ . . v MRS. WINSTON PROSTRATED. The first -announcement of the death of i Mr. Winston came by wire to W. O. Win ; ston from his brother, F. G. Winston, who requested that Mr. and Mrs. W. 0 < Winston convey the sad news to Mrs. P. 18. Winston. Through some delay in the ; delivery of this message the news did not [reach Mrs. P. B. Winston until after she I had herself received the following tele gram from F. G. Winston: "Will start tonight with the remains, if not otherwise directed. When Mrs, Winston read this telegram the shock prostrated her. DEATH IS GENERALLY MOURNED. Prominent men speak sadly, but highly of the deceased. Former Mayor James Gray— P. B. Win ' s-ton was tho soul of chivalric honor in l*>litica. in business, in every relation of i life. Could we ask for a finer model for I the young than one who was a public I servant without fear and without ' re ! proach and a private citizen without : stain? His death is moat sad. Former Mayor W. H. Eustis—Mr. Win -1 ston was one of the broadest and most ! public spirited of all our citizens. His [ loss will be felt in all circles. His death I comes as a shock. He was respected and greatly beloved by every one. Former Gov. John Lind—ln speaking of Mr. Winston, I think of him more as a friend than a politician. He was a I man of quick intuition. Impulsive, good ; judgment, and he always had the cour j age of his convictions. I think very few I men in public life have hewn so close I to the line of duty as Mr. Winston did. He was absolutely fearless, not always, perhaps, as politic as most politicians are, and sometimes I think I have heard him criticised on that score. But I think that that fact speaks more highly for his "character and courage. I feel that the city and state have lost an Im portant factor in politics as well as in business and social life. Personally I feel thf» keenest n-irr&t CONLEY LETS CAETEE, OUT. Chief Deputy .Uneniior Wan Tlnov.ii Orfrrbonrd Yesterday.

UNDER ENGINEERS ESTIMATES Board of Public Work* Ia Treated to a Series of 'Surprises at Yesterday"* * SeaKlon. "When trusts fall out. honest people get their dues," a new version of an old saw. and yet to the members of tho board of public works, who tackled a number of surprises yesterday In tho | opening of bids for paving, its meaning was more than convincing. Heretofore Fielding & Shepley and James Forreata'l, whom some aldermen j have dubbed the "brick trust," have been j alone In the contest for brick paving, with the former firm generally success- ' ful, but the members of the board yes terday, in opening blda for about J36.C00 | worth of paving, received a mild sort of '■■ surprise when the Barber Asphalt Pay ing company was found a competitor in I each. Not alone were they bidders, a j rather unheard of proceeding, whan brick is concerned, but in pv~ry case they were the lowest.' in the majority of in stances being below me estimate of the ' city engineer, in some cases as much as i $1,500.'. .-, ''■-'■ For the saveraJ-«streets to bo paved i three classes of .material, asphalt, brick and sandstone, were named, and the cut j administered by the Barber people was of the butcher variety. The bids opened ■were as follows: :~. '.'."• ■'.'*.'. Paving with brick, Decatur street, from Bedford to Beaumont, and Beaumont ; from Decatur to Payne.: Engineer's esti mate, $11,439; Fielding & Shepley. $10,288; ! James Forestal. $11,480; Barber Asphalt company, $9,&14. Paving with sandstone, Minnesota, from Eighth to Eleventh: Engineer's estimate, $12,153; Fielding & Shepley, $13,324; James Forestal, $12,200; Barber Asphalt com pany, $12,153. Paving with asphalt, Minnesota street, from Eleventh to .Summit avenue: Engi neer's estimate, (6,600; It. F. Conway company, $0.29-1; /American Contracting company. $5,962; Barber Asphalt company, $5,647.- :•••-. ■ Paving'-with asphalt, Jackson street, from Ninth to Grove:. Engineer's esti mate $8,075;'•" R.F. Conway company, $7,082; American- Contracting company, $6,aSO; Barber , Asphalt company, 16,426.08. City railway b part: it. F; Conway com pany, $5,900; American Contracting com pany $5,594; Barber Asphalt company, $5,467.46; ■• ' " •• > Figured roughly, the property owners concerned will secure asphalt paving for $1.94 per square yard, or a reduction of 25 per cent over previous prices; brick paving, $I.SO per square yard, a reduction of 10 per cent over former bids, and sandstone paving, $2.31 per square yard, or nearly 5 per cent lower than former prices. With the entrance of the Conway com pany there has been a perceptible drop in the price of asphalt paving, but partic ipation by the Barber company in brick and sandstone contracts was never cx i pected, and in consequence property own era are Jubilant. That the two trusts, as some are wont to term the paving companies who mako a specialty of th* two materials, were on the outs has been apparent for some time, but that it would result In a rate war came as a pleasurable surprise. To the brick nnd sandstone people, who have had things pretty much their own way, It was a stunner. '• • The paving Indemnity resolution, which i has been a matter of much dispute be i tween the council, wnlch passed it, ; and the engineering department, whicn refuses to enforce it 3 provisions, docs not have any bearing on the bWs opcnM yesterday, the specifications being drawn before the resolution was passed. City Engineer Claussen says h* will use as much ot it as he sees fit, while somo of the aldermen, on the other band, .say they will refuse to accept such specifications or allow contracts on them, no matter how low the bids, if the resolution is not embodied in them. For a sewer on Winnipeg and Park avenue. W. J. Preston and John l.lnd were the lowest bidders, each offering to do the work for $949. All of th • h.ds were taken under consideration, though In the case of the paving bids, the propo sitions of the Barber people, in view of their extreme iownesa, will be accepted.
