New York, March 7.— Fully 2,500 people assembled in the American In stitute building at 10 o'clock this morn ing to be present at the auction com bination sale of California trotting stock. They found that a trotting track nearly one-sixth of a mile in length had been laid in the building in order that the gait and style of the animals to be sold might be displayed thereon to good advantage. This sale, both in the num ber of animals offered and their charac ter, was the most important of the kind ever known in the East. It was the greatest gathering of trotting horse men seen in New York this win ter, aud was mainly composed of men whose names arc well known on every trotting track and stable in Amer ica. Prominent - among these were David Bonner. J. H. Schultz, J. D, Fer fuson, Jack Splan, John Madden and V.J. Crowf ul, both of Lexington, Ky. ; Jack Bowen aud John Golden, of Bos ton; John Goldsmith, of California; Peter Johnson, of Philadelphia; R. F. Myers, Dayton, O.; J. M. Wilcox, Wilksbarra, P.. and Gabe Case, of New York. Promptly at 10 o'clock the auc tioneer mounted' the rostrum' and the FAMOUS BAY FILLY, NEHUSHTA, was hooked to a sulky and sent around the ring. She is by Stamboul, 2:14%, dam Meluska, 2:3034 at two years. Nehushta is fifteen and a half hands high, and is marked by a small star. She has been broken single and double, is a natural trotter, and made 2:3734 when three years old, and 2:30 Jan. 11 last, winning her race in three straight heats. She was knocked down to J. H. Schultz, of Brooklyn, for $5,500. The next animal offered was a brown filly by Alcazar, 2:2034. dam Neluska, a half sister of Nehushta. . She brought $4,000, purchased by J. D.

Then came lEEßQlgiflEffe THE SENSATION OF TOE DAT The sale of Mascott by Stamboul, and Minnehaha, his yearling brother. It was announced that bidders could have their choice of the animals. Mascott is a fine-sized bay, with a white left hind ankle and white face coronet. He is a splendid-looking colt, with fine action, and is of undoubted sameness. He has trotted a quarter of a mile in 0:38*4, and was warranted to go faster. He was started at $5,000, but less than a min ute $8,000 was offered for < him. His price, advanced steadily a thousand at a clip, until , $13,000 - was bid for him. Then the; auctioneer paused a moment and made a little speech, in which he claimed that $25,000 would only be a fair price for him or other colts he was selling and predicted that the stock farm which got him, no mat ter how obscure it might now be, would be celebrated and marked here after. After this bidding went steadily on until $20,000 was reached, when there was considerable applause. The contest was now between Mr. Schultz, of Brooklyn, and D. S. Quinton, of Trenton, N. J. They raised each other $500 at a clip until a burst of applause greeted the call of $25,000. It was Mr. Schultz's offer. Mr. Quinton saw him and went $1,000 better. Mr. Schultz turned his back to the auctioneer, who dwelt a few moments over $26,000, and then ,;'; amid deafening APPLAUSE " knocked the animal down to Mr. Quin ton at that figure, the greatest ever bid for a two-year-old at an auction sale. It is understood that Mr. Quinton bought the horse for Mike Daly and a syndicate who have a ranch in Mon tana. L. J. Rose, who led the colt to him, said: "Go and have the finest suit of clothes that money can purchase made for yourself and send the bill to me." The brother to Mascot was then put up and sold to Mr. Schultz, after lively competition, for $8,500. Brown colt by Stamboul, Minnie Corbitt, $3,500, to J. S.

Good Ice and Fine Sport at ■Win nipeg — St. Paul Rinks in Bad Luck. Special to the Globe. Winnipeg, Man., March 7.— The change in the weather has put new lite into the curling bonspiel. Playing was suspended at an early hour last night and the ice flooded. Everything was in good shape to-day, and there was some good play ing. The rinks that attracted the greatest interest were the Crusaders, of Portage, Wis., and the Lindsay, Out., men, who were drawn to oppose each other In the third draw. At times the greatest excitement prevailed, and the enthusiasm, was very marked when one or the other of the skips made a good shot. Notwithstand ing the Wisconsin quartette played a plucky game, they were vanquished by the Lindsay rink by seven points. On the fifteenth end the two rinks were a tie, but in the sixteenth and seven teenth the Ontario men scored three, and in the two ends scored an addi tional four, giving them the game by . 21 to 14. ; The concluding . ends of the game were witnessed -by a large crowd of spectators and great interest was manifested in the - result. At its conclusion cheers were given for the vanquished and the victors. Though the Ontario men beat the the Wisconsin . players they were In turn defeated by the Winnipeg Thistles in the fourth draw. The St. Paul rink was also de feated in the third draw by the Winni peg Granites with a score of 19 to 14. Both American rinks are now out of the race for the Grand challenge cup. The final games in this competition will be played to-morrow. Those now remain ing in the contest are three Winnipeg rinks aud one from Portage La Prairie, Man. A BLOODY BATTLE. Jack Ryan, ol' This City, Badly Punished by George Kessler, ol Butte. ■ AA'IA ■'- •'?*■"*- Special to the Globe. Butte, Mont., March Early this morning Jack Ryan, the middle-weight fighter from St. Paul, undertook to knock out in five rounds, George Kess ler, middle-weight champion of Mon tana, near this city. Skin gloves were used, and after the first round it became evident to the spectators that Ryan was outwinded, the high altitude not agreeing with him, and Kessler began knocking him right and left. Ryan, near the close of the round, landed a right bander on Kessler's nose, making the claret come freely. In the second round Kessler got Ryan's head in chancery, inflicting terrible punishment on him. At the close of the round Ryan went to his cor ner rather groggy. Third Everybody predicted that Kessler would knock out Ryan in this round, but the lad from St. Paul stood his ground. ; Although visibly worsted, Kessler's terrible right-hand ers sounded with terrific thuds upon his lips, cheeks and neck, while Ryan returned the compliment as well as his wasted strength would permit. Kessler followed up his advantage and started in with the evident determination to knock the man out. Ryan's left eye became puffy and swollen, while his face and chest were spotted with blood. It was a foregone conclusion that it was Kessler's fight and he forced Ryan to his knees just before the call of time. Time of round, three minutes. Last Round— Kessler came up smil ing and by far the fresher of the two. Ryan was still game, however, and his pluck was commendable, but the Butte boy forced him around the ring, against the ropes, and ' in fact planted blow after blow that staggered Ryan into a state of defense, although he occa sionally got in some beautiful drives on Kessler's neck, head and ribs. The men clinched several times, and when the referee stopped the match he awarded the victory and money to Kess ler. THE GUN CLUB SHOOT. Members of the Minneapolis Gun Club Shoot For Badges.

THE : SAINT PAUL DAILY A GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1889. GILBERT DENIES IT, Pierce Declares That He Does Not Want to Be Governor of Dakota, But They Do Say He Looks Forward to a Seat in the Senate. Northwesterners Pay Their Respects to Mr. Windom To-Day. Dakota Council Will Not Con firm Gov. Church's Ap- * pointments. . . Spec ial to the Globe. Washington, March 7.-Gilbert Pierce arrived to-night and is at Chamberlain's. He is not a candidate for governor of Dakota, and never has been since he heard of Mellette's candidacy. He says: "I came East for the Jamestown Loan and Trust company, and stopped in Washington as any granger would do." From Pierces conversation, it is a fair inference that be will sign an indorse ment for Mellette to-morrow before going to New York. He is honest and sincere in saying tho statements which his friends have vociferously made that he is a gubernatorial candidate, and our correspondent is fully satisfied after seeing him that he has novel sought the position since Mellette's candidacy was authoritively announced. WILL CALL. ON WINDOM. Northwestern Men In Washington Will Compliment the Secretary. Special to the Globe. EraS ':•."*>•:' Washington, D, C, March 7.—Min nesotians " and other Northwestern people will assemble at the Atlantic building ;to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, and march thence to the Ebbitt House, where at half past four, Secretary Windom will receive them. The Minne apolis Flambeau club will act as escort, and there will be a large gathering of people. Senators Edgerton and Moody have notified the South Dakotians, and Gen. Allen and Gov. Ordway' have no tified the North Dakotians so that every Northwester man in Washington will be aware of the proposed demon stration and be on hand. Hon. Tim Byrnes says to-night: "The gentle men have arranged to make, this the most notable congratulatory recep tion tendered to any cabinet officer. There will be over 300 people from our section of whom we are already aware, and others sending in their names con stantly. There is no doubt that Min nesota's representative in the cabinet will be well pleased with our showing numerically and in eloquence, for there * ; will be speeches as well as music and numbers present." Senator Edgerton. of Dakota, is an enthusiastic friend of Secretary Windom, and has largely con tributed to the assured success of the reception. Senators Davis and Wash burn are exceedingly taciturn concern ing applications, and applicants for . positions received from Minnesotians. , They will not even name the hopeful and aspiring gentlemen who want and, clamer for office. The Minnesota con gressmen, excepting alone Mr. Hall, met this morning in Senator Davis' committee room, and were en gaged in private conversation for a time. Mr. Comstoek says it was merely an Informal conference of a genial nature— and he. is an honor able, reliable man. J. F. Linderman, of Osseo, Mr. Haughen's candidate for a North American consolate, is in j the city. He is a flue . looking gentleman, about forty-fire years of age, and, so Mr. Haughen says, is one of the most active and valuable workers in his dis- . trict. Senator Sawyer to-day accom panied Hon. John Hicks, editor of the Oshkosh Northwestern, to call on Mr. Blame at the state department and on President Harrison at the White house. This means that Mr. Hicks, who is one of Wisconsin's best Republican work ers, and a townsman of Sawyer's,: will get a foreign position of value— : ably to Chili or Peru. Ex-Congressman Hazleton, of Wisconsin, is making' a strong fight for the position of commis sioner of general land office. lowa's man, ex-Governor Stone, however, has the best show at present, because lowa was left out of the cabinet and lowa's congressional delegation have deter mined to lay down heavily on Harrison for this position. Barney Sullivan, of Plankinton, Dak., is an applicant for the position of surveyor general of South Dakota. He has good backing, and is pushing his claims effectively by * adding good indorsements daily to his position. Cyrus J. Fry applies for Dan Marratta's scalp, and has the indorse ment of senators and congressmen from other states, as well as the proper cre dentials from South Dakota's repre sentative men. Col. John H. King, of Rapid City, is not satisfied with the opening of the Sioux reservation, for which he worked during the past two years. He is an applicant for the posi tion of assistant commissioner of In dian affairs. In addition to suitable South Dakota backing, he has all lowa's congressional delegation backing him as a clean, honest, capable man and an orthodox Republican. It is stated to night that strong efforts are being made to remove Col. Charlie Johnson, of Min nesota, from his position as chief clerk of the senate. Inasmuch as he was a strong supporter of Washburn, and has the earnest support of Minnesota's sen ators, he feels safe In his position, and is not likely to be disturbed. DAKOTA LAWMAKERS. Omnibus Appropriation Bill Ve toed— Walsh's Gross Earnings Bill Passed. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, N. D., March 7.— The om nibus appropriation bill was vetoed to day on the ground of extravagance. The governor claimed that it provides for an expenditure of $100,000 a year in excess of territorial income. The veto will be considered by the council to morrow forenoon, along with a batch ot half-a-dozen others. Among the thirty or forty measures passed by at council were these house bills: Swanston— Regulating railroads by an appointive commissive without power to fix rates; taxing telegraph lines: authorizing townships and incorporated towns to aid in the consiruction of railroads, and re quiring elevators to return the same grade of wheat as that received. Two sealed messages from the governor called for an executive session at 6 o'clock. It is perhaps violating no con fidence to state that one •_£ these messages renominated J. D. Lawler as territorial treasurer, and -the other withdraws, all the nominations some weeks since for trustees of the Brookings Agricultural college. This is done in ' order to comply with the bill which became a law yesterday, fixing the ten ure of office and making the trustees' terms expire In rotation. The consid eration of both messages was postponed until to-morrow. The feature of to-day's proceedings in the house was the pass age of Walsh's railroad gross earnings bill, which went througe on the sur prisingly favorable vote of 30 to 11. It is now" in the hands of the governor and will, doubtless, be approved, The com mittee appointed to investigate the charges against Territorial -Veter inary - Surgeon Allowa'y made its report, and another sensation is spoiled. He was censured for some irregularity in issuing warrants, but the report that the funds have been illegally expended was not sustained. The accounts and reports of the office are said to have been kept exception- . ally precise. The house cleaned up ' nearly all of Its business; disposing of a large number of unimportant bills and j < •will have most of to-morrow. to spar for .points with . the governor. .The result f of this contest is in doubt, and to-night it is the topic of universal discussion and paramount interest. It . is thought Gov. Church's resignation will be ac cepted atter this week and rumors re garding the identity of his successor are unlimited. Thirteen members of the council just a majority— held' a caucus*' this evening and decided, by a vote of 7 to 6, not to confirm Gov. Church's appoint ments, which are to be considered to morrow. It is reliably reported that R. E. Wallace, of Jamestown,' chief clerk of the council, and of course a Republi can, will be appointed public examiner the first thing to-morrow forenoon. If any appointment is confirmed this will be the one,' owing to political persuasion and personal popularity. : - A;A THE SENATORIAL BEE Buzzing in the Bonnets of Pierce, Ordway Allen and Lamoure. * Special to the Globe. _ -^ :-".;-'.. r : Washington, March 7.— Gov. Pierce, Gov. Ordway, Jud Lamoure and Harri son Allen will be candidates for the senate from North Dakota, and it is for this reason that the last three will not favor Pierce for governor of the terri tory, as they think he would fix things to make his calling and election sure. Senators Farwell and Cullum, -of Illi nois, will ask. Pierces appointment, and it is claimed that the Min nesota senators will second their action. Tom Lowry, of Minnesota, who is build ing a railroad from Aberdeen to Bis marck, and doesn't want any hostile legislation* is here quietly but ably working In Pierces interest. Bob Heyd land, of Ashland, will endeavor to suc ceed Indian Agent Gregory, of the La Pointe agency. Editor H. C. Hans brough wants to be receiver of the Devil's Lake laud office. William Bell, of Yankton. Dak., desires the receiver ship of the Yankton land office, and is here after it.. He is an old soldier and a worthy applicant. Attorney W. C. Arnold, of Huron, is reticent as to his wants. J. W. Shannon, of the Huron ite, is still here with the postmaster ship in : tow." Attorney O. W. Bean is after the. receivership ot tne Huron land office. George S. Perry, of Ar mour, Dak., has Senator Frye's indoise ment for an Indian agency. J. B. Kelly, of Huron, wants to succeed Pur cell as United States district attorney. C. Wait and family, of St. Cloud, are in the city on their way to Georgia for the winter. F. A. Watkins, of West Su perior, Wis., is in the city. Dr. Har rison, of Ashland, leaves for home to morrow. .- i WISCONSIN STATESMEN. The Bill to Prohibit Teaching German in Public Schools Killed —Also Taylor's Railroad Bill. Special to the Globe. Madison, Wis., . March . 7.— The as sembly to-day consigned Mr. Stupeckis' bill to prohibit the teaching of German in the public schools to its coffin, and screwed the cover down. This bill has • created much interest and discussion and when , it came up this morning a motion was made to lay it on the table, which - was carried.' The action was then clinched by moving to reconsider and laying that motion on the table. Bills were passed making the salaries of circuit judges $4,000 per annum; re- . quiring circuit and county judges to render . a decision in cases heard by them within six. months ' after, such . hearing; .empowering the Sault Ste. Marie «£; ' South stern Railroad company to erect bridges across the Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers at Eau Claire;, authorizing the Duluth, Red Wing & Southern Railway com pany to erect a bridge across the Mis sissippi river at Red Wing,; appropriat ing $000 for the purchase of ground for a rifle range at Camp Douglass and $5,000 to improve it. The senate concurred in the assembly bill to create a municipal court for Dunn. county. The senate railroad committee to-night decided to report Mr. Taylor's ■' bill with recom mendation for- indefinite -postponement ; by a vote of v seven to two. ; This is by. far the most important measure that has j been before the present legislature, and the railroad lobby has made a powerful and apparently successful tight to kill it. The bill . was modeled somewhat after the Minnesota law providing for a railroad commission ot three members and long and a short haul clause similar to the interstate law. AFTER BRAGG'S SCALP. George Ginty, of Wisconsin, Urged for Minister to Mexico. Special to the Globe. Washington, March 7.— Gen. George Ginty,. of Chippewa Falls, has the en dorsement and earnest support of the Wisconsin delegation for the position of minister to Mexico.

Charlestown. W. Va., March 7.— Before the supreme court this morning, Gen. Goff's attorney presented a peti tion for a writ of mandamus against Gov. Wilson to compel him to surrender his office. Gov. Wilson appeared in his own behalf, received issuance of pro cess, demurred to the petition and moved that it be quashed. Both have agreed that all formalities be dispensed with and the case will be argued to morrow morning. A writ of quo war ranto has also been issued by the circuit court against Gov. Wilson at the in stance of Gen. Goff, returnable on Mon day morning. . . - ->,'■•;.: . -*-*»■ DEATH OFA PHILANTHROPIST Isaiah V.Williamson Passes Quiet ly Away— Useful Life. Philadelphia.

He was very successful in business and retired from active work many years ago, with a fortune aggre gating millions. Mr. Williamson has been a charitable man all his life, and has given liberally to all worthy objects.

The affairs of the project are now in the hands of a board of trustees. Mr. Williamson has al- ' ways led a life of the_greatest seclusion, and has kept himself as much as possi ble out of the puolic eye. -***■■» ADAM BADEAU AGAIN. The General Wants a Big Wad of Damages From Webster & Co. New York, March 7.— Gen. Adam Badeau, through a suit at law, is again before the public in connection with his work "upon the life of Gen. Grant, owing to an objection on the part of Charles L. Webster & Co., who were .to have published the book, to a certain portion of the work, "Grant in Peace," written by Gen.

The general asks justice c to award him " $22,500 out of the coffers of, the publishing house their failure to print the book.

Montana People Would Like to Have the Question Settled at Once. . r Special to the Globe. Helena, Mont., March There is much interest here in the question of who- will be appointed governor of Mon tana.' to succeed Preston H. Les lie. •_ That an appointment will be made immediately is fully expected. In fact the Record, which has recently passed into the hands ot a corporation at the head of which is Russell B. Har rison, son of the president, this morning contained a dispatch from Washington generally supposed to have been written in the White house, intimating that ap pointments would be made for all the territories within a day or two. The leading candidates are Hershfield, pres ident of the Merchants' National bank of this city and chairman of the Repub lican territorial committee, and Gen. L. S. Wilson, of Bozeman. The former is now in Washington, and is said to have the indorsement of the Seligmans of New York. The urgency for the removal of Gov. Leslie is iv the fact that the legislature has only a week more to live, and that the nom inations for treasurer, auditor and at torney general are yet to be confirmed. If a Republican can obtain possession of the executive office he will withdraw the names sent to the council by Gov. Leslie for the offices named and make nominations of Republicans.
