The most interesting of the many stir
ring incidents was an affair in which
Mayor Sharp, City Solicitor Hunt and a
strikebreaker figured. A car passed
thru the line of soldiers on Logan ave
nue and stopped. A. strikebreaker
jumped off at the rear and the mayor
approached to make an inspection. He
was received with a rude blow in the
chest from a strikebreaker, who was
"immediately seized, the military.
Troops Beady for Emergencies.
Last night the volunteer militia of
the city -was called out. The Ninetieth
regiment and the Thirteenth field bat
tery, with its guns, were encamped near
Fort Osborne with other troops and the
mounted police. The rural corps, the
Manitoba dragoons, has also been wired
for. Topcoats, blankets. and ball cart
ridges were served out, and the garri
son at Winnipeg slept under arms all
night to/be ready for the struggle which
is expected today. Troops- were put
thru three hours' heavy drill, but did
not come to the center of the city, the
police being able to keep, the crowd
moving at night. Thousands thronged
the streets and magistrates held contin

marily disposed of before midnight.

A this point a load brick came

crowd, which waited for the next car.
In the meantime the arrival of police
had a wholesome effect for a time. Sev

became more threatening. The mayor
hurried to the Bcene and after survey

the regulars. It was about 3 o'clock
and their appearance caused great ex

stand. The appearance of the troops
with a Maxim gun, instead of quieting
the crowd, seemed to incite it and the

the Issues.
Chicago, March 81.The active cam
incident to the election to be held
ed. Aa majority carries the others.
What Voters Must Decide.
The first proposition is
Shall the
city of Chicago proceed to operate
street railways'?" The second is:
tf Shall
an ordinance authorizing the city
Chicago to construct, acquire, purchase,
own and maintain street railways with
in its corporate limits and providing the
means therefor, passed by the city
council Jan 18, 1906, making provision
for the issue of street railway certifi
cates not to exceed in amount $75,000,-
000, be approved?"
The third proposition is: "Shall the
city council proceed without delay to
secure municipal ownership and opera
tion of all street railways in Chicago,
under the Mueller law, instead of pass
ing the pending franchise ordinances or
any other ordinances granting fran
chises to private companies?"
The Mueller Law.
The Mueller law is an act passed by
the legislature authorizing the city of
Chicago to issue certificates to the
amount of $75,000,000 for the purchase
of the streetcar companies, the city
having reached the limit of its bonded

The License Question.
The many attacks which have been
made upon women in all parts of the
city during the last six months created
a feeling in the minds of many people
that the low license of $500 was respon
sible for many dives thruout the city
and indirectly for the crimes that have
stirred the community. After a hard
fight the city council passed an ordi
nance placing saloon licenses at $1,000
The liquor interests have made hard
fights against the re-election of all al
dermen who voted for the higher license
and the contests in a number of wards
have been bitter and the vote promises
to be close.
RICH MAN'S GOLD TO
FIGHT RACE SUICIDE
Journal Specie! Servioe,
Chicago, March 31.There will be no
race suicide in the village of Des
Flames if Henry E. Powell, one of its
wealthiest residents, can help it. Stirred
the assertion of President Roosevelt
that the great American people are
dying out, Mr. Powell has offered prizes
and medals for families of ten children
and more. Mr. Powell himself modest
ly admits he has helped some by being
an eight-time father, and he thinks his
example should be followed yall the
married men of the village.
The lowest prize, that for ten chil
drenis a gold medal and $10 in gold.
From that the prizes range up to $50.
The prizes are to be presented to the
mothers only. Only those who are bona
fide residents Des Plaines are
eligible. The village board of Deswick,
Plaines will have charge of the award
ing of the prizes.

TAINEI GRILLED
BY HIS ENEMIES
Minnesota Man Has a Strenuous
Fight for His Appropria-
tion Bill.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, March 81.Until the
house committee on rules this week re-
fion
iorted a rule making further obstruc
impossible, Chairman Tawney of
the appropriations committee had been
having, for days and days, his own
troubles in passing the legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill.
Mr. Tawney, several weeks ago, gave
offense to ^Representatives Prince of
Illinois and Harwick of Georgia, during
the consideration of the military appro
priation bill, by objecting to certain
items in the bill favored by those gen
tlemen, and so, in order to even things
up with Tawney, and show him that
possibly he was hot so big a man as
he had imagined himself to Te they de
termined to make things interesting
for him when he reported the legisla
tive, executive and judicial bill, and
they succeeded even beyond their wild
est dreams, for the bill, when the com
mittee on rules finally came to the re
lief of Mr. Tawney in his dire need,
was but a mangled f*id unsightly imi
tation of its original self.
Filibustering perished as a fine art
in the house of representatives when
Speaker- Reed abolished the right to
run amuck with dilatory motions and
limitless appeals on points of order.
Since Mr. Reed's time the obstruction
ists have had a pretty short, shrift. The
once-boasted 'constitutional'' right
of members present for certain
parliamentary purposes and absent for
others has been annulled on appeal to
the supreme court, and the house has
been adjudged capable of conducting
its business along any lines laid down
by a responsible majority. Every ses
sion witnesses at least one fierce out
burst against the absolutism of the\vhich
speaker and the rules "committee, yet
the Reed system keeps intrenching it
self, and the party which most loudly
protests against it as a minority, most
fondly embraces it and most ruthlessly
applies it when intrusted, with bower.
FilUmster Hard to Down.
About once a session, the house has
to encounter the spirit of the filibuster,
notwithstanding the Reed rules, and
that encounter, fax a the present
session is concerned, has just come to
a close. It was not particularly serious,
and its only interest for northwestern
people lies in the fact that it put Mr.
Tawney the gridiron for days a a
time, and at last compelled him to throw
up his hands by way of complete sur
render and appeal to the speaker for
help. The house code provides that ap
propriation bills. must carry no new leg
islation, and must not authorize salary
payments in excess of those fixed by ex
isting laws. On an appeal to the chair
made by a single member the offending
matter is striken from the measure.
This rule works fairly well in ordinary
cases, but discourages attempts to
amend the laws by obscure and often
half understood changes in the text of
an appropriation bill. Yet.the rule can
be ignored or waived by general con
sent on special items which have the
approval of the committee on appropria
tions, and, as a. matter of fact, many
changes in law.are -thus effected at
every .session.
How Opponents Moved.
This year, relying--on the tolerance
and. eo-operation. of the house, the ap
propriations committee undertook to
readjust to some extent, the salaries
paid in different branches of the public
service, to abolish patent inequalities,
and to bring some little order out of
chaos. The-experiment was in itself
highly commendable, and in line with
the policy of inquiry and retrenchment
adopted by this committee under Mr.
Tawney's leadership. Yet a. confessed
departure at certain points from the
salary arrangement as it now stands,
subjected the bill to technical points, of
order, whieh were-raised with- siich per
sistency by Messrs. Prince and Hard
that the fate of the bill was,for
a time in real peril.
These facts are pointed out in order
that readers of Th Journal, who..
are interested in Mr. Tawney, may un
derstand something of the strenuous
character of the time he is having as
chairman of the great appropriations
committee. The reforms in salaries,
ect., which the bill carried and which
were objected to, were Mr. Tawney's
own. He had given the question careful
consideration. That his reform ideas
are Sound is shown by the prompt.way
in which the speaker came to his relief.

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAt.
GOVERNOR HITS AVARICE
EXECUTIVE IN PLYMOUTH
CHURCH ADDRESS DECRIES
PURSUIT OF POLITICAL AND
FINANCIAL POWER.
Greatness of mincl, honesty, great
mental achievements, Christianity, and
the friendship of honest people were ex
tolled last night by Governor Johnson,
who spoke at Plymouth church for the
benefit of the Bethel Sunday school.
The,se things, the governor maintained,
are more desired tha,n great wealth and
its possibilities and achievements, or
political and financial power.
As I read and hear of the men who
are amassing fabulous fortunes I some
times -wonder if the scheme of our civ
ilization is right,'' said he.
I would rather write one book that
would endure for 100 years than to
have all the dollars of all the Rogerses,
John D. Rockefellers and J. Pierpont
Morgans that the world has ever seen.
I have JIO quarrel with the man "who
gathers and saves money, and perhaps
much money, for there are many legiti
mate uses to which money may be put.
But I do have a quarrel with the man
who makes money and puts it away in
order that it may accumulate more
money,
"There is something else in this life
besides erecting huge buildings and
amassing great fortunes. I think that
there are three great things, -which make
a man's life better, namely: Christiani
ty, the friendship of honest people, and
character."
The wonderful awakening of inter
est in public affairs by all classes of
people was pointed Out as an indication
of the general trend of national affairs
for the better, and the demand for bet
ter things by- the individuals of the
government. The greatness of the state
of Minnesota was extolled and the few
blots on its fair escutcheon condemned
and regretted. Optimism prevailed, tho,
and the greatness of the future of the
north star state was vividly portrayed.
The governor's address was preceded
by a musical and literary program in
Hamlin Hunt, Mrs. Hiram {&
Ross, Miss Agnes Lewis and Messrs.

PAID FOR CHEAP LAND
In paid advertisements the Fills
bury Western Land company offers, to re
fund to purchasers all money paid for
20-acres-for-$30 tracts of land sold by the
company some weeks ago. In Its intro
ductory advertisement the company stated
that it would sell a limited number of
small "suburban and country home
tracts" near Nelson, B. C, to Introduce
i ts wheat and fruit lands i that
vicinity. Citizens of Nelson were stirred
by the offers to sell land of any value
near there at such a. small price and
warned all prospective purchasers to in
vestigate the lands before buying-. let
ters were sent out by the Nelson Board
of Trade and some trouble was occa
sioned. Nevertheless, many purchasers
were deeply disappointed to learn that
their "suburban home tracts" were
the mountain sides and were not fruit
or wheat land.

lined his plans for the university
pedagogical school in connection with
his subject, "Distribution of Subjects
Among High School Teachers of the
State."
At the conclusion of Dean James'
address, the superintendents engaged in
an interesting discussion of the newthe

ment that the establishment of such a

LESS ATiABM I N GOTBLAJVE
Operators Feel Strong and Expect to
Run Many Mines.
New York, March 31.In view of the
action of the Indianapolis convention
late yesterday afternoon whereby min
ers in the bituminous districts who are
offered the 1903 scale will be allowed
to continue at -work, and in view of the
strong position of the anthracite oper
ators, the entire coal labor situation is
viewed with much less apprehension
than at any time since the agitation
between the miners and operators
began.
The anthracite coal mineowners have
agreed to meet the miners' committee
in this city at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, as
requested John Mitchell of the
miners, for a further conference on the
wage scale in the anthracite eoal fields.
It had been reported that the opera
tors would refuse because the miners
were ordered to strike, but a telegram
from President George F. Baer, chair
man of. the operators' committee, was
sent to President Mitchell accepting the
offer to have anoth.er conference.
Statement by. Operators.
The anthracite operators' committee
of seven, today authorized the follow
ing statement:
Some the bituminous -workers
who are now active in directing matters
in the anthracite industry have asserted
at times that the wages in the former
industry are higher than in the latter.
Mr. Mitchell has often intimated this,
altho he has never given any facts to,
support
thse claim,d tr wa claime before the strike
commission that the earnings of the
anthracite miners -were less than, those
in the bituminous fields, and similar
assertion have been since made.

parison of annual earnings for all
classes of labor showing that the aver
age earnings of the anthracite miners
exceed those of the bituminous miners
by 63.75 per cent, and the average earn
ings of all classes of anthracite workers
exceed those of all classes of bitumin
ous workers by about 30 per cent.
"Under these circumstances'" the
statement concludes, there is no
ground for the anthracite workers to
claim that their compensation is inade
quate."

Senor Quesada, Cuban Minister to the United States, is an orator born. IB
aa article in The Outlook for July, 1899, by George Kennan, who heard Quesada
speak at the Esteban Theater, Matanzas, Cuba, he said: "I have seen many audi-)
ences under the spell of eloquent speech and in the grip of strong emotional excitiS*
ment, but I have rarely witnessed such a scene as at the close of Quesada's eulogy^
upon the dead patriot. Marti." In a letter to The Peruna Drug MTg. Co., written
from Washington, D. C, Senor Quesada says:
"Peruna I can recommend as a very good medi-
cine. It 1% an excellent strengthening tonic, and it
is a/so an efficacious cure for the almost universal
complaint of catarrh. "Gonzalo de Quesada.

HOOKER 0. WILL BUILD
Warehouse Will Go Up at Second
Avenue and Third Street N.
The Hooker Cigar Manufacturing
company will build a manufacturing
and will include, room for the Northern
Candy company, which will use one
third of the space. If details can be
satisfactorily arranged, work will begin
on the plant at once. Otherwise the
firm will choose another location, which
is also under option.
The Hooker site is just across the
avenue from the wholesale grocery
house of the Sloeum-Bereren company,
and just across the street* from the site
of the future home of the W. S. Nott
company. The decision of the Northern
Candy company to take space in the
Hooker building will help to clear the
site of the Nott building, how partially
occupied by the Northern Candy com
pany building.
The Nott company has not yet taken
steps to begin work on its new ware
house and office building, but tenants

"For a number of years requests have
come to me from a multitude of grateful
friends, urging that Peruna be given a
slight laxative quality. I have been ex
perimenting with a laxative addition for
quite a length of time, and. now feel
gratified to announce to the friends of
Pe-ru-na that I have incorporated such
a quality in the medicine which, in my
opinion, can only enhance its well-known
beneficial character.
