Riotous Poles.
Bpeeial to the Globe.
Winosa, April 20. — The Fourth ward
was the scene of a riot of quite consider
able proportions to-day, the occasion being
the hostility manifested by the Polish citi
zens along Front street against the Chi
cano. Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. Some
time ago the city council granted this com
pany the right to construct and operate ■
track along Front street to aceoniou;ite the
various manufacturers along the levee. The
line of the proposed- track runs directly
in front and inconveniently near the resi
dences of a large number of Polish citi
zens. This morning the railway company
commenced constructing the ■ line, and
as soon as the residences were readied de
termined opposition was commenced,
•which soon increased to violent hostilities.
One of the tracklayers was severelj wounded
by a blow over the head and others were
bruised. This afternoon Mayor Willis,
Marshal Kastry and the till police force
charged on the mob and succeeded in clear
ing th« track, after making a number pf
arrests. Fifteen special policemen were
sworn in to-night and it is probable that no
further trouble will occur. This evening a
number of injunctions were served against
the railway company.
. iimo»oia aud the Tariff.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, April 20. — Those who are
studying the chances of the tariff bill are
looking with a good deal of interest to see
what is going to be the course of the mem
bers from the Northwest on the bill. It
will be remembered that some of the Min
nesota members voted with the tariff re
formers when the last tariff bill was taken
up. The Itepublicaus having decided to
tire the measure at every turn, a good deal
of curiosity is felt to see what the course of
the Minnesota people will be, if the same as
in the last contest, on this subject. So
your correspondent asked one of them
about it.
"We have not determined about that," he
replied. "I think some of the members will
vote to take it up. I don't kuow what any of
the delegation has determined that his course
will be on the matter of voting on the bill.
We must hear it discussed first. 1 think it is
sale to conclude, however, that they will vote
to take it up."

THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The house put in the afternoon on the
river and harbor bill in a way that shows
it does not intend to make many changes in
it. This means that Minnesota is going to
fare very well in the bill. this year for ap
propriations for work in that section are
very satisfactory, ., ..
"What about the Mankato convention and
delegation that was supposed to be seat here
with reference to the Minnesota river?" your
correspondent asked of Congressman Gil
fillan this afternoon.
"I have heard nothing- from the commit
tee," he replied, '"and if they are wise they
will stay at home and save their, money.
They could accomplish nothing by coming:
here. The river and harbor bill as it now
stands has a clause requiring the chief of
engineers to cuuse a survey of the Minnesota
river to be made. Until this is done there
would be no possibility of getting: an appro
priation for work on the river. This clause
lor a survey will undoubtedly go through with
the remainder of the bill. The 6urvoy will be
Bade during the coming year, and next ses
sion we may bo able to get an appropriation
lor work on the river, but certainly nothing
can be done more than that."

"I have no hesitancy in saying that I shall

faithful work in the Democratic cause there,
and I don't think there is any ground for im
peaching his Democracy. 1 know these local
quarrels. I have seen a good many cases of
this character where, in local issues like a
county scat ;ht and matters of that sort,
party lines are entirely disregarded. I have
no doubt that was the case in tbe matter
in which Johnson is charged with working
witu the Republicans. I know Mr. Johnson
M well and urn so thoroughly convinced of
bis loyalty towards Democracy that I am con
vinced these charges will not prove of any
importance."
"What id the feeling of the other members

"I don't know as to that; probably they
have no feeling in reirard to it, for they don't
knew personally, as I do, that Mr. Johnson Is
und always has been a Democrat. But I am
convinced that the charges will not amount
to anything."

TERRITORIAL. TIDBITS, ■
Brief Items of Interest from all
Parts of Dakota.
On the cyclone day several points In North
Dakota were visited by a storm of unusual
severity for that section. It is not known
that any one was much hurt. At Jamestown,
as already stated, a few exposed structures
were blown sown. In the western part of
Walsh county a school house was upset and
several houses and barns ■ were demolished,
nono of them of great value. it was, how
ever, only a lively blow. North Dakota has
never, so far as known, been visited by one
of the twisters that devastate all in its wake,
and both scientific theorists and practical ob
servers give plausible reasons far the claim
that it is out of the cyclone belt. Hail some
times destroys property, but human life
seems to be a little safer la tbe North than
elsewhere.
.CoL Barrett, the able and popular editor of
the Aberdeen Republican, elves no credit
whatever to the reports so numerous from
Washington of late that many of the Demo
crat* are consenting to the Idea of division on
the seventh standard. .He says that some
time since when there were similar outgivings,
he went on to Washington and found that
there was not a Democrat In the house who
would vote for an east and west division, and
be is oouflorat there ha* been no change of
sentiment. He ones these words: . "No: if.
Dakota If ever divided while the Democrat!
or? in power, the division will bo made oa the
MUcouri iJycr. j: And don't you forget It!"
. ' A Mlclilifun editor lately made clippings
from ninety exchanges In that state that re
ported emigration from each locality getting
ready to como to Dakota. In many cases
they are large colonies— l6o persons in one
case. It Is beilevod that Michigan Is not ex
oeptior.at In this matter although the migra
tion from there may bo a little moro general
than the average. It Is probable that the ac
cession to the population of Dakota will bo
greater than for several pears, perhaps than
any former year.
. Theodore Roosevelt would not be taken for
a New York dude In his frontier garb among
the cowboys out In the Had Lands. Parties
recently stole his boat, and Theodore made
afldarlt in bis mind that he would have that
boat if be bad to follow It to the Gulf of Mex
ico. lie took two men with him, and overtook
the thieves about 100 miles down the river.
They showed fight, but were captured and
brought buck, and are now reposing in jail
at Marxian. They will have quarters at Bis
marck in time.
. The suicide of George Bechctt at Ver
mlllion a few days ago, was somewhat unu
sual, from the fact that ho had been a resi
dent of Dakota fourteen years, and was a
man of education and superior Intellectual
ability. In the bright noonday sun he put
the pistol to his head, and left the statement
that he had contemplated the act even before
he left Ohio in IMS, the enjoyment of Dakota
life causing him to defer the act. lie was li"
years of age, and sickness had affected his
mind.
The post week an eighteen-year-old young
man, heir to a largo English estate, arrived
in the Red River valley, consigned to a largo
farmer by bis guardian, who pays the farmer
£30 besides bis services for instruction in
Dakota farming for one year. There are
thorough, first-class farmers in Dakota, but
it has not been supposed that England was
without experts in that line. It Is probable
that the considered health fulness of the cli
mate was one of the reasons for the consign
ment.
While the Manitoba is building its extension
west from Devil's Lake toward the Turtle
mountains. Cavalier county insists that it
should build some forty-five miles from Park
river into that county, which will, it is
claimed, grow a million and a half bushels of
wheat this year. If It does not, it is proposed
that the farmers run a track fifty miles from
Langdon to Minnewiiukan and connect with
the Northern Pacific, or make a good wagon
road thirty miles to the Canadian Pacific.
The La Moure Progress finds that the wheat
sowing is from two to three weeks earlier
than usual all over the North, and In the
James river country the acreage will bo
nearly double of that of last year. In the
older counties there will be a good deal of
wheat land put in other crops, but it is be
lieved the new farms will keep up the wheat
acreage, and in the north as a whole there
will be many more acres in wheat this year
than ever before.
. Col.Plummer has just returned from another
brilliant starring tour with his '•Tower
of Babel," which be says is to him like the
widow's cruise of oil, and nets him far more
than the structure did its builders. He re
ports that he will probably accept an invita
tion to visit Maine this* summer to take part
In tho political campaign, preach temperance,
exhibit his tower and visit bis "parents, who
still live there at 60 or more years of age.
A paper. The Reporter, has just been
started at Burlington in Ward county, one of
newest and most remote regions.lt is a hundred
or more miles north of Bismarck and in an
almost unknown region, which has an abund
ance of coal, said to be much superior to the
lignite. It is too far from railroads for much
besides stock at present, but will soon be
reached by the migratory wave and railroads.
The Kingman form near Hlllsboro is not
among the largest of the bonanzas, but in
culture and equipment is a model and the ad
miration of visitor*. It has for some time past
been putting in 160 acres of wheat a day with
seventy horses. Col. Rich is a success as a
farmer. The Daniels farm in that vicinity Is
noted for its fine horses, and has a dog valued
at $250, which chases a $500 Jersey bull.
A young man at Henry in the central re
gion was recently reduced to Adamic simplic
ity of costume and invested with a coat of tar
and feathers and given a free rail ride by a
I company of masked men. The woman, who
seems to have been equally deserving, was
not disturbed. She will probably follow the
young man, who left the place in great disgust.
Gen. Beadle, the former superintendent of
public instruction for the territory, has re
cently visited the alleged silver finds in the
Sioux valley, and takes no stock in the silver
theory. He puts forth the opinion that the
whole thing is a scheme to have certain
school sections turned into mineral land*,
and secured possession of on account of valu
able stone quarries.
Some fifty or more, as the advance of a
I large colony of Russian Mennonltes, reached
| the vicinity of Hoskins, in Mclntosh county,
I the past week. They are a stout, healthy
looking people, with large families, and will
help fill up and develope the country. The
only objection to them is their exclusivcness.
They do not mingle much with worldly
people.
The recent purchase of seventeen or more
sections of land by tbe Scottish syndicate for
$37,000, In the counties just west and north
of Cass, it Is said was made just after a tour
of the North by their agent, William Howden.
He reported that no better land could bo
found in the territory, among the unimproved
lands.
A man in plowing on an island in the river,
near Vennillion recently turned up an unex
ploded six-pound shell. It is perfect, only
the fuse missing. Nothing Is known of tbe
use of such articles In that locality In any
period.
Lisbon has the promise that the Dakota A-
Great Southern railroad will make that enter
prising city a point if proper inducements
are offered, and the people are taking hold of
the matter liberally.
Vennillion has a very elaborate program
for public exercises on Arbor day, Including
speeches and songs and putting out trees for
every notable of the country from Washing
ton to Gov. Pierce.
The Marquis de Mores and ' -wife find
romance and pleasure in their frontier life.
They lately went on a bear hunt of several
, days in the hills and the lady made some fine
shots.
In no former season in the historic period
has there been so little water on the prairies
In the North as at present, and there is some
apprehension felt that the wild hay crop will
suffer.
A colony of twenry-tbreo families from St.
Paul are being provided with homes within a
small radius of Col. Donan's Devil's lake
bonanza.
Fargo beer Is having quite a boom of late,
being sold as far Nortn as Winnipeg, and
pronounced equal to the best Milwaukee
product.
The Huronite has gathered statistics show
ing that over 2,000 babies were born the past
year in eigbt counties of the Jim river valley.
The Northern Pacific surveyors in their ex
tension Southwest from Mil nor are making
direct for Britton.
It Is stated that in Beadle county there are
1,800 marriageable men and only 600 girls.
Two Disastrous Fire*.
Special to the Globe.
Fergus Fall?, April 20.— About 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon the house, stable and gran
ary of August Johnson, residing near Horse
Shoe lake, caught fire and burned to the
ground. A prairie fire had started to the
southwest and the high wind blowing at the
time from that direction made it impossible
to check the flames. Mr. Johnson also lost
the greater part of his household goods and
about 800 bushels of oats. It is understood
there was no insurance on any part of the
property. . .The residence of W. H. Glass
caught fire Saturday afternoon from a defec
tive flue and was partially destroyed. Loss
$200; insured for $400.
The hardware manufacturers of the United
States are making $3,000,000 worth of hard
ware per week, including firearms, agricul
tural Implements, noils and ornamental iron
; work. Connecticut makes about one-third.
Foreign countries send us about as much in
a year as we make in a week. A great deal
of money is being put into hardware establish
ments, and the export of hardware "Yankee
notions" is increasing.
