DAVIS MUST BETIBE.
Senator Washburn Still in
Minneapolis Interviewing
Legislators- Elect.
The Boom for Attorney Gen
eral Clapp Assuming At
tractive Proportions.
His Views on the Tariff and
Force Bill Those of the
People.
Twin Cities Must Ec Satisfied
With One of the Two
Senators.
The movement that has for its object
the election ot a man from outside St.
Paul and Minneapolis to the seat in the
I'nited States senate now held by Hon.
C. K. Davis is growing in force, and
within a few days there will be several
full-fledged candidates in the field on
tht! Republican side.
The low tariff ele
ment in the Repub
lican party, which
has been quietly sub
mitting to the decrees
ot the Eastern bosses
and their Western
tools for tne last six
years, seems to be
"thoroughly aroused
at last. The kind of
a man they want is
thus summarized by a Republican mem
ber of the lower house:
-The Republicans of Minnesota are in
a very ticklish place at the present time,
and 1 will tell you just why 1 think so.
The late election in this state taught
tin> Democrats and Populists a lesson.
Ihe result convinced them that neither
can win alone, but by combining the
state is theirs beyond a doubt. The re
sult of this has been to bring these two
parties together. Take it in my district,
lor example. The Democrats there, as
a rule, are on the Bide of Boen in the
contest talk u.ade by Feig. They say
that Boeu is
A Low Tariff JTlan
itnd, therefore, on the great issue of the
day with them. And this 1 believe to
bt- the case all over the state. Now, l am
one of those who believe that when the
people decide a question there is no use,
nor is there any sense in a party or a
man insisting on the people reaffirming
their decision time after time. Every
Bane man knows that the people of
Minnesota, Republicans and Demo
crats alike, are opposed to the
McKinley bill style of protec
tion. There is no disputing this.
The Republicans of Minnesota were
opposed to -'protection run mad" years
ngo, ana when four of our five members
of congress voted with the Democrats
on this issue they were considered as
representing their people correctly. The
Eastern element gained complete con
trol, and so made our party platform
that Republicans were either compelled
to get out of the party or else lay aside
for the time their views regarding the
tariff. Many went over to the Demo
crats, but more said, 'We will wait
and see how the thing comes
out' There are thousands of Re
publicans in this state who
voted for Harrison in 18SS and again in
IMC, not because they believed in Mc-
Kinleyism or the force bill, but because
they loved the Republican party. It is
lime that the existence of this element
is taken into consideration, and 1 favor
the selection of a man with liberal ideas
on the tariff to succeed Senator Davis."
"Whom have you to suggest?"
"Personally 1 favor Attorney General
hi. E. Clapp. lie is a man of rare abil
ity, franK, open and honest, and of rare
independence. He was the author of
the low tariff platform upon which
Knute Nelson ran for congress six
years ago, and has
Not Kceanted His Views
on that subject. He would make an
ideal United States senator, and would
be able to do a great deal for the state,
benator Davis has so acted during his
term that he is in the worst possible po
sition. What will a Democratic senate
Bud a Democratic administration do for
ii man who voted for the force bill, the
McKlnley bill and every radical meas
ure, whether for the good of the coun
try or not, that has come up during the
past six veins. Moses K. Clapp, if
elected, would represent the Republican
voters of the Northwest, and would
stand for a glorious future for
the party, while Senator Davis
represents* the discredited leader
ship of the Eastern bosses. One
represents progress, the other a reac
tionary crowd who believe in taxing the
people of the West for the benefit of
favored classes."
senator W. D. Washburn has taken a
hand in the senatorial contest.
.Several days ago the papers an
pounced that the Mill City senator had
taken his departure for'Wasuington,
ami i Lt' politicians, as a rule, supposed
that the statement was correct. liut it
was uot. Senator Washburu is still in
Minneapolis, while his colleague, in
flated with confidence, has gone
on to the Capital city to
confer with his patron and backer. Sen
ator Stanford, the Central Pacific mag
nate. During the past lew days Senator
Washburn has been quietly looking
into the situation and considering it in
every possible light. Personally he is
friendly to Senator Davis, and were the
latter not hampered by bis force bill
record and
J'roiiomioed Subservience
to Eastern influences there is little
doubt that Senator Washburn would
continue to support him.
But Senator Washburn is a shrewd
politician.
He Knows how the people of this
stute feel and he knows that the selec
tion of Davis would weaken the party,
disgust the country districts and send a
man from outside the cities to succeed
trim two years hence.
If Davis is selected Washburn's fate
Is sealed, and the fact that the Mill city
man has tumbled to this is evidenced by
the fact that he did not go to Washing
ton at the time he intended and that he
is now meeting his friends among the
legislators elect and conferring with
them over the situation. Several from
outside the city of Minneapolis will
meet him by appointment today.
FtIG FIGURES ON IT.
ll.pes Based on an Omission of
Boen'is Christian Name.
Henry Feig, the defeated Kopublican
candidate tor congress En the Seventh
district, is reported to have a deep
icheme laid to steal the election from
tfoen. There are sixteen counties
in that district. In fifteen of the eoun
tiea the Dyir.oeratic candidate's name
ippeared on the ticket as "lialvor E.
lioeu;" in the out' county his name was
>ut tm the ticket as "11. E. Uoeu.'- 7 The
NNE:
plan is to have the votes- in the one
county counted i>y the canvassing board
as being for another man. This scheme
may not be contemplated, and certain it
is it will not succeed if it is; but a eood
many up in that district assert that that
is just what Mr. Feig will undsrtake to
do. With tin- vorn of that county lost
to Boeu, Feitf would have a majority.
VILLAUD IX THE CITY.
Notables at the Hotels in Great
Numbers.
Yesterday was a great day for the
politicians at the bt. Paul hotels. Three
concrressmen-elect were at the Mer
chants' during the day, and one United
States senator dropped into the Ryan,
where Henry Villard also arrived dur
ine the day. Mr. Villard declared he
was here on business, and that ended
it. He had not heard that he is booked
for a seat in President Cleveland's cab
inet, or that he is certain to succeed
William Walter Phelps and his
bang at the court of the kaiser.
Having received all this information.to
gether with various reports as to what
he proposes to do with the Northern
Pacific, the Northwest and Edison Gen
eral Electric, the great railroad magnate
felt repaid for the lons and tiresome
journey just completed, and frankly
said so.
Senator Lynian Pi. Casey, of North
Dakota, only spent a few moments in
the Kyan lobby. He was on his way to
Washington, and knew less about North
Dakota polities than Senator W. H. Rob
insun.his Trail! county admlrer.down at
the Merchants'. Senator Robinson,
however, was unwilling to hazard a
guess on the probable successor of Mr.
Casey, but felt quite sure that it will
not be Gov. Burke.
"Gov. Burke," he said, "is one of the
squarest and best men in the world,
and, while he has hosts of friends, and
warm ones, too, he has made some
powerful enemies, who will be strong
enough, 1 think, to defeat him."
The congressmen-elect at the Mer
chants' were Maj. M. K. Baldwin, of
Duiuth; Senator James A. Tawiuy, of
Winona, and Congressman Nils P.
Haugan, ot Black River Falls, Wis.
The latter went to Washington last
evening, while the others remained over
in the Saintly city.
Of state senators there were a great
many in the city in addition to Senator
Tawnty. Senator McMillan, of Henne
pin, and Senator Keller, of Steams,
were here, on their way to Dcs .Monies
as members of the capltol commission.
Senator Dean, of this city, went along.
This trio will be joined at the Hawkeye
capital by Senator Avers, of Austin,
and Senator Lad ue. of Luverne.
Ex-Senator C. F. MacDonaid, of
Steams, was another prominent guest
at the Merchants' during the day.
PORTEK'a PLAN.
He Wants the Census Office Made
a Permanent Bureau.
Washington, Nov. 29. — Census Su
perintendent Porter, in his annual re
port to the secretary of the interior,
strongly urges that the census office be
made a permanent bureau of the interi
or department, ile says he has con
sulted statisticians and experts, and has
obtained by correspondence an expres
sion of views from commercial organiza
tions, officers of state boards of health,
agricultural organizations, state super
intendents of education, bishops and
prominent churchmen, officers of
institutions for the deaf, dumb, blind,
etc., all of whom arc necessarily inter
ested in any movement looking to the
improvement of the present system of
collecting and compiling census sta
tistics. Encouraged by the many ex
pressions of favor with which the prop
osition has been received, some or them
from the most eminent statisticians m
this country and abroad, lie renews his
appeal for* a permanent census. Mr.
Porter refers to the complaints that
have been made against the accuracy
of the eleventh census, especially by
the authorities of certain cities, and
says that the work of the enumerators
has been vindicated by time.
In regard to the cost of the work of
taking the eleventh census, Mr. Porter
says that the total disbursements from
the commencement of operations up to
June 3o, 1892, amounted to $8,203,693.
Of this amount $2,485,458 was paid to
enumerators. The population and so
cial statistics cost $1,267,868; the statis
tics of farms, homes and mortgages,
$41,005,771; priming and stationery,
$031, 0b0. It is further stated that in
July, 1891, there were 2,;>;0 clerks
on the pay rolls, and in June
1892, Uie number had been reduced to
1,214. There is money available to de
fray the necessary expenses of the of
fice up to March 1, 1893. From that
time until the close of the fiscal year
Mr. Porter estimates that the sum of
£-40,000 will be required to continue the
office. Of the thirteen volumes in which
the results of the eleventh census will
be embodied, there are now in the hands
of the printers eight quarto volumes,
and it is stated that the indefinite detail
of the ortice makes it impossible to fore
tell the date of the actual completion of
the work.
GROWING MOKE ALARMING.
Death Rate From Typhoid In-
creasing it! St. Louis.
St. Louis, Nov. 2'J.— The typhoid
fever epidemic grows more alarming
ateacii successive day. Though there
was a falling off in the number of new
cases today the death rate has increased.
The latest theory advanced is that the

ine (eft in cellars along the river front.
The number of new cases today was
US up to 5 o'clock,against 220 yesterday,
115 Suuday and 200 Saturday. This

famous legal light lias just been taken
in the commencement of the action
brought by Hon. Fred Cook, ex-secre
tary of state, against the Silver hake
Ice company, to establisn the ownership
of the lake. The lake in question is

been sitting up wirh him. At 0:30 the

as the nurso thought he was then

Simply Worn Out.
Dr. Gardiner, the attending physician,
says the immediate cause of death was
exhaustion due to old aue. He retired a
week ago last night with a cold, and
Thursday was unable to get up. The
cold was followed by a low fever, which
greatly prostrated him. When this had
run its course a slight reaction and rally
ensued Thursday, lasting forty-eight
hours. Saturday night there wasaturn
for the worse, and he rapidly sank into a
lethargic state, with fitful periods ot
consciousness. Notwithstanding his
advanced age, Dr. Scott had never been
the victim of any organic disease, and
seldom required the services of a phys
ician, and then only for a passing ail
ment, lie died because the machinery
of his body was worn out.
Rev. John W. Scott was born with the
century, the date of his birth being
Jan. 22, 1800, a little more than a month
after the death of George Wash
ington. His boyh»od was spent
in the vicinity of Hookstown.
Beaver county, Pennsylvania, where
he was born. His father was a weil-to
dotresident ot that place and gave to his
son a good education which he turned
to advantage in his future life. Hebe

received the finishing touches to his
education.
Dr. Scott had rive children— three
daughters, Mary, who died young;
Elizabeth, who married lUisseil Lord;
Caroline, who married Benjamin Harri
son, and two sons, Henry M. and John
N. Mrs. Lord died in Washington two
years ago; the son, Henry, is also dead,
learing John^N. Scott as the sole
survivor of Dr. Scott's children. Dur
ing the time when Mr. Harrison was a
United States senator Dr. Scott was ap
pointed to a clerkship in the pension
office, and he held ttus position until his
son-in-law became president. He re
signed then and moved to the White
house, where he bas since resided!
About a year ago he paid a visi
of several months to his son, John N.
Scott, at Port Townsend, and stood the
fatiguing journey across the continent
vvittiout ill effect. Dr. Scott was a man
of wonderful physical vigor, tall,
broad-chested and well-preserved meu

by Dr. Scott's Death.
Washington, Nov. 2:). — Thare is a
possibility that on account of the death
of Dr. Scott the annual message to con
gress may be delayed in its presentation
to congress, but the delay will not be tor
more than a few days. The president

read to congress on the lirst day.
QUARANTINE CHANGES.
Regulations Modified During the
Winter Mouths.
Washington, Nov. '29.— Acting Sec
retary Spaulding today made a further
modification of the regulations govern
ing the admission of immigrants. It is
based on a report by Surgeon General
Wyinan, of the Marine hospital service,
that it is safe to relax somewhat during
the winter months the existing stringent
precautions against the introduction of
cholera. Under the new arrangement
all vessels from foreign ports, regard
less of whether they carry immigrants,
will be allowed to proceed as far as the
local quarantine stations at Philadel
phia and Baltimore without examina
tion at the national quarantine at the
Delaware breakwater and Cape Charles.
This privilege has heretofore been con
fined to ships having no immigrants on
board.
ACCEPTED BY FIVE.
Nations Who Will Participate in
the Naval Parade.
Washington-, Nov. 29.— Acceptances
to the invitations sent out by the state
department to foreign countries to take
part in the naval review are coining in
very slowly. Oniy two first-class naval
powers— Great Britain and France— and
three of the smaller ones— Portugal, the
Netherlands and llayti — have signified
their intention of sending vessels.
Mexico, China, Denmark and .some of
the South American republics have de
clined the invitation on the ground that
they could not make a good showing
with their small ships and obsolete
armament and equipment.
NO LEGAL. DEMAND.
Minister Scruggs' Report on the
Mijares Incident.
Washington*, Nov. 29.— The report
of Minister Scruggs relative to the Mi
jores case has been received at the de
partment of state, and it appears from
the minister's report that no legal de
mand was made upon the captain of the
Philadelphia for the surrender of Mi
jares by the Venezuelan government.
The only demand was of a verbal char
acter—on the allegation that he was "an
enemy of the government." No specific
charges was made of violation by him
of the ordinary laws of Venezuela!! >.o
representation has been made to the
legation which would lead to the con
clusion that the government of Vene
zuela felt aggrieved at the action of tlie
consul at La Guayra or of the captain
of the Philadelphia.
PENSION DEFICIENCY.
Washington, Nov. 28. — Commis
sioner Raum's estimate of $10,500,000 as
the pension deficiency for the current
fiscal year is about $5,000,000 less than
had been estimated by certain officers
of the treasur y department. The latter
admit that Gen. Raum's sources of in
formation on the subject are n-iturally
more accurate and reliable than theirs,
and that the secretary of the treasury
in submitting the pension estimates to
comrresa will adopt Gen. Raum's fig
ures.
Money for Sioux.
Washington", Nov. 29. — Secretary
Noble has approved the roll of the
Cheyenne river and the Standing Rock

KANSAS COMPLICATIONS.
Two Peculiar Legislative Contests
by Populists.
- Top-era, Kan., Nov. 29.— Injunction
proceedings were instituted before
Judge Guthrie this morning to stop the
official count in Jackson county and the
Thirty-eighth legislative district. The
suit was brought at the instance of Ed
Shellabarger, the People's candidate for
the legislature, who claims that m the
apportionment of the last legislature the
town of Holton was not given to any
legislative district and should not be
counted. lie wants the contest thrown
into the house. A similar condition
of affairs exists in Reno county,
the town of Nickerson having been left
out in the apportionment. In each of
these districts a Republican was elected,
and if the injunction proceedings hold
good it will take two Republican seats
and all of the Populists to organize the
lower house.
It was claimed here today that the of
ficial board of canvassers will refuse to
decide the county tie and will throw the
case into the house for final settlement.
The board is Republican and believes
that the Republicans will organize the
house. The official count is proceeding
slowly: it will not be completed before
Thursday.

THEIR SILLY SCHEME
To Have the Grand Ju y
Bolster the Police Admin
istration.
The Jury Praises the Force,
Then to Show Its EiL
ciency
Brings in Forty Indictments,
Showing the State of
Crime.
A Police Boomerang Without
Garvln's Little Rec
ord.
Some days ago a prominent official
connected with the police administra
tion, thoroughly aroused and sore at the
repeated exposes by the GLOBE of the
incompetence of the police department,
made this remark:
"We've got the grand jury, and it will
get back at the Globe In fine shape."
The inference was quite plain; but it
anything were lacking it was supulied
by a Republican paper in the statement
that members of the GLOBE force were
to be called before the jury to tell what
they knew of the lawlessness rampant
through the city. The remark meant
that the grand jury was to be used to
smooth matters over for the police and
rebnke the Globe. The only outcome
was the mild statement given below.
No member of the Globs stall was
asked to enlighten the jury as to the
Dumber and correctness of the rob
beries, burglaries and garrotlngs that
have been committed within the past
few months. Doubtless the friend of
the police administration on the jury
shrank back when it came to a practical
test of the question.
It is also reported that the jury failed
to call for the police record of crimes to
see if the number reportvd to the po
lice was not far in excess of the num
ber the GLOBE whs enabled to ferret
out on its own responsibility. Coming
down to plain facts, it seems that the
jury did not care to go to the bottom of
the affair and get at the truth, but con
tented itself with learning nothing and
satisfying the incompetent police ad
ministration with a thin veneer of
diaphanous whitewash.
Bring out (iarvin's record book and
see if it does not contain far more ac
counts of burglaries than were ever
published in the ixLOBJL
