British Vessels Arrive at Hampton Roads to Take in the Parade. They Present a Beautiful Pict ure With the Blake at the Head. A Terrific Salve of Salutes Follow the Arrival of the Visitors. The Fastest Cruiser Afloat How Coaling" at New York. Fortress Monboe, Va., April 17.— Before 8 o'clock this morning. Col. Frank, commandant of the army post, was informed by Bear Admiral Gher ardi that the British vessels expected to take part in the coming meeting and naval review were coming up from the capes, and that they would be along in an hour. This was the notification to stand by to saiute the visitors after they had tired twenty -one guns in honor ol the American colors and the fort was prompt in doing this. Many of the hotel visitors were awakened by the terrific bombardment which ensued, and the reverberation of the bis guns ot the Dlake and tl c answers that came quickly back from the military post and the flagship Philadelphia. Hardly had the smoke disappeared from the muzzle of the guns when the Blake D -gan a series of salutes to the trench. Russian and Italian flags. During these cere monies the ili.es of all Hie ships were constantly changing from the one coun try to that of another. appearance which the five Brit sh ships presented as they moved past tne end ot the United States tleet to an chorage ground designated them by Bear Admiral Uherardi was a beautiful one. At tlio Head of the Visitors tvas the big armored cruiser Blake, a counterpart of our own ship New York, of 9,000 tons displacement and 20,000 horsepower, heavily armored and the most formidabl ; ship that will be in the review. In her wake was the pro tected cruiser Magicienne, and behind her came the bis: armored cruiser Aus tralia, with her sides fairly filled with high-power guns. Next was the cruiser Tartar. In the rear was the little biric entine-rigged cruiser Partridge. At the masthead of the Blake was the pennant of Vice Admiral J. O. Hopkins, K. C. 8., conimander-in-chief of the ileet. The Blake slowed down as she passed the Newark, aud when abreast of the Phil adelphia her signal was displayed to the other ships to anchor. At 11 o'clock Admiral Hopkins was pulled over to the Philadelphia to call upon Admiral tiherardi, utter which he returned, and soon afterward received tne return Later in the day Admiral Hop kins called on Col. Frank, and Col. Frank returned the call. The weather here continues perfect, and the water is smooth for the rides. Barges, steam launches and gigs are plying constantly to the ships, carrying those anxious to see the new arrival?. The Dutch frigate Van Speyk arrived late, this afternoon and anchored in the roads. The Huzzard, a Bmail French gunboat, nlso joined the fleet in the roads this afternoon. An Antiquated Craft. The Dutchman is very similar to the eld ships ol the United States navy, such as the Lancaster, and presents in the very antiquity of her make-up some, interest. As she dropped aiiui-.^r she saluted the national flag and the American and English ad mirals in their turn, and received offers oi a Bmofcy welcome in turn. The ships which came down the bay without sa lutes were the fish commissioner's steamer Fish Hawk aud the light house tender Holly. Upon the former was Mnj. John M. Carson, the well-known Washington correspond ent, and upon the other were Command er It. I). Evans. U. S. N\, ex-Senator Felton and Calderon Carlisle, of Wash ington. On her way down the Potomac river from Washington ti.e oflicers of the Holly observed a small yacht off Jlarshal Hall flying signals of distress. Banning up alongside of her she was found to be on fire fore and aft, and her passengers were in a great state of alarm. The fire hose of the Holly was at once put into operation, and the fire ■was extinguished. She was the Uretcheu, and is owned by Congress man Keyburn, of Pennsylvania. But for the timely arrival of the Holly the little vessel would have been entirely destroyed, aud there might have been loss oi lite. The Scene at the Hj seia hotel was never surpassed at this usually quiet resort. The parlors and * =^SCSSaS£&^ r *^ corridors of the hotel swarmed with of ficers dressed in all the magnificence of gold lace, brass buttons, and bine uniforms who added to the beautiful women who are number less and whose dressing surpasses that of any other resurt on the Atlantic just now. On shore and in the roads there was a scene of brilliancy that would make the poorest citizen patriotic. The Frenchmen came ashore for the first time, but the Britishers have not yet become sufficiently well settled to dun their best clothes and meet the women here who have been anxiously awaiting their arrival for the past week. With the Russians it is different They have the advantage of the others by reason of having ar rived early in tiie week, and the man ner in wbiCii they readily make them selves understood in our language is generally commented upou all sides. But it cannot be denied that the whole interest of ti;e vast crowd is upon tiie big Blake, Hie officers who command her and the other British sliips. During the evening the roads were as light as day. From the poops and fore yardamM of the American snips lights made the waters glimmer aud siiine like the moon upon new-fallen snow. The reflectors were worked upward to throw their Fla*lie* of Linlit to the heavens and then on tne shore. The rays touched the sides of some of the vessels in the riVet and pictured them as some phantom ship sailing the seas without sens, then they crossed, recrossed and formed ail sorts of weird figures as one ray of liirlit fell across another, shot from the deck of some other vessel at the end of the tleet. Occasionally they fell on the fortress and showed the hundreds of smooth-bored old guns sticking their muzzles out defiantly from the stone walls which could be easily de molished by any gun of the small est vessel at aucnor. Then some mis c lievous officer would play them along tne long piazzas that skirt liie iiotel and on the little piers and send couples who had sought seclusion scampering back to the ball room. While the white elec tricity lighted up the skies the red and -white signals which we have borrowed from the French kept up an incessant silent con versation with the ships in the roads. The effects of the combinations of lights was witnessed with enthusiasm by those congregated on the beach to watch the sight. The officers of the forts have thrown open their club to the visi tors, and are doing all in their power for their comfort and entertainment. Tomorrow afternoon the officers of the flagship Newark will give a reception to their friends, at which many of the foreign officers will be present. The French flagship Arateuse is expected to arrive in the morning, aud join the tleet. FASTEST CRUISER AFLOAT. The "9 dc Julio" Completes Her Maiden Voyage. New Yokk, April 17.— Tiie Argentine cruiser '".) de Julio,*' Admiral Enrique G. Howard, Capt. Martin Itevarda, from SL Michael, Azores, April 10, ar rived at quarantine at 10:30 this morning aud anchored off Staten island. The cruiser was built at Castle. En!.'., and completes today her first voyage. She is a*formidable-look ing craft, and has a crow of 344 olh'cers ; and men. She mounts twelve huge | guns and twenty-four quick-lire guns, j If the representations of her officers j are correct she. would givo our naval acquisition a stern chase, as it is claimed by them that on this voyage she steamed at the ! rate of 2- : -. knots per hour, and hence is the fastest cruiser afloat. The "9 de Julio" left the hands of the builders April 2. She has twin screw, triple ex pansion engines and two funnels and two Hirsts. She will take on a supply of coal at this port, and proceed to Hampton Koads to join the fleet. Aides for the Review. Washtsotok, April IT.— Gen. Scho fieldand IJear Admiral Belknap have been assigned as military and naval aides to the president on the occasion of the naval review in New York harbor. At the opening of the supreme court of the United States, Chief Justice Fuller announced that on the 28th inst. the call of the docket would be suspended. Thi3 course was taken for the purpose of en abling the court to arrange for its trip to the opening of the world's lair at Chicago, May 1. A TOWN IN FIiAMKS. Disastrous Early Morning Blaze at Plymouth, Mich. Detroit, April 18.— A brief tele phone message just received (1 a. m.) from Plymouth, Mich., twenty five miles west of here, states a block of buildings has burned up and the entire town is in danger of destruction. The operator was compelled to leave the exchange.as the fire was then burning it. Engines have been sent from here. Plymouth is a town of about 2,000 inhabitants. Dynamite in the Coal. Pittsburg, April 17.— An explosion occurred at the Vesuvius Iron works at Sharpsburg. late Saturday night, which wrecked the battery of boilers, but re sulted in no other damage. The explo sion was caused by a dynamite cartridge mysteriously placed on the coal stack. It is believed that an attempt was made to blow up the mill. Since the failure of the late ?trike,colored men have been superseding the whites, and the feeling against the negroes is very bitter. HADES HAD A HOLD. The Senate's Closing: Hours Marked by the Wildest Disorder. Mombers Clamoring 1 Fiercely for Their Own Pet Meas ures. Donnelly Treats E. F. Com stocli to a Rich Brown Roast. Kany Bills Rushed Through as the Day Drew Near. The scenes that characterized the closing hours of the senate upon tiie day upon which bills might be passed under tiie constitutional limitation were not especially dissimilar to like episodes that have spiced previous sessions. With 199 bills on general orders and a cart load of house tiles flowing into the senate every few minutes, and each measure having its particular champion as well as its enemy, the conditions could not be less exciting. Senators were con stantly on their feet shouting lustily for recognition. President Clougli recog nized members at his pleasure, and the country members repeatedly raised the cry that they were being slighted and the city members were being favored. Yesterday afternoon it was voted to give each senator the right to call up one bill in order, the names being called alphabetically. The motion under which this was done in cluded tne provision that if any one ob jected the senator must recede and call up another measure until his peremptory sight to five calls shall have been exhausted. Then he must give way to the next. This created interminable confusion, and Senator Hammer, fancying that he was not receiving fair treatment, for a time objected to every bill brought up. The senate saw the deilemma, and the appeals to Senator Hammer to let up on his tactics were many, and they were finally effectual. Under this system the work progressed rapidly for a time, but late in the night the feeling on the part of certain mem bers that favoritism was being shown intensified, and it became almost im possible to suspend the rules. Then attempt after attempt was made to ad journ, but they were futile. A bare majority obdurately fought to continue the work until bills that they wanted had been acted upon. Senator Tawney tried to get the sleeping-ear taxation bill up, but he couldn't get the lules sus pended, and then the senators were again at loggerheads. It became a des perate scramble, a perfect bear garden, and progress was impeded. For an hour or more not a bill could be taken from the table. The senators finally said that thi3 sort of thing availed nothing and once more business was resumed, but it did not last long. Pandemonium reigned without restraint. Senator was arrayed against senator, and feeling ran high, only to give way to amenities shortly after. The last half hour, how ever, was wasted in vain at tempts to suspend the rules to pass bills, and frequently motions were renewed to adjourn, failing by a few votes, until nearly 2 o'clock, when the motion prevailed; but when the members realized the fact. Senators Smith, J. D., Ayers and Guderiau change to no, and the vote stood ayes 20 and noes 22. Senator J. \V\ Peterson then threat ened to obstruct business unless he was recognized. A "yJIOUCH GAME." That Is What Senator Ronuclly Say* Representative Coin»tock Played. Ignatius Donnelly's arraingment of E. F. Comstock was the episode yester day in the senate. The Donnelly reso lution that had passed the senate a week or so ago, and that went to the house immediately after, was the sub ject that led to it. The bill, It will be recalled, appointed Senators Keller, Donnelly, Leavitt, Deadon and Eaton as a committee to in vestigate into the pine lauds frauds and to report to the governor on or before Jan. 1, 1895. and also appropriating ?5,000 to meet the expense. " "A short time ago we passed a joint resolution for the appointment of a com mission to continue the investigation ot the»pine land steals," continued, the Sage. "This resolution went to the house for action. It was referred to the committee on public lands, the chair man of which is one Comstocic, of Min neapolis. lie has seized the bill and put it in his pocket, and is absenting FAINT PAUL, MINN., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, 1803. himself fro.n the house, thereby pre venting action on the bill. It is be lieved that his purpose is to shield the Minneapolis lumberman, atvd that his object is to prevent the passage of the bill. I have secured tne governor's con sent to the introduction of a new bill which 1 will now introduce. It will then go into the hands of the friends of the bill In the house, who will see to it that no more such games are practiced." Air. Donnelly then introduced a bill, which is an exact copy of the original resolution, and it was passed under a suspension of the rules after further ex planations that the members of the committee will serve without compen sation. When the concurrent resolution came back to the senate, Mr. Donnelly, in a gracious speech, asked to have his name dropped from the commission, so as to relieve the senate of any embarrass ment. Senator Little criticised the judgment of the house in shutting off the senators who had done the investi gating thus far. He hoped the senate would not caucus. Senator Crandall then moved to amend so as to provide a committee ol two senators and three representatives, and to confine the ex pense to ?. r ),003. Senator Donnelly urged that the wiser course to pursue would be to concur in tho house amend ment. He pointed to the fact that it would be difficult indeed to get a further amendment through the house. Senator O'iJrien was predis posed to direct the auditor to make the investigation. Senator Donnelly suggested that it would be rather peculiar to give the auditor money to investigate his own career, and Senator Keller made a ringing -petjeh in favor uf tho resolution. Sen ator Day asked Mr. Donnelly if the res olution was satisfactory to the commit tee, and the latter replied in the affirm ative. He did not know who the speaker would name, but he had great confidence In that gentleman, and he trusted that the best men in the house would ba selected. Senator Crandall's motion to reducn the number ot the committee to two senators and three representatives was defeated, and then tiie bill passed. Last liight President dough an nounced the appointment of Senators Donnelly, Leavitt and Eaton as the sen ate contingent of the committee. This turns down Senators Keller and Dedon, who have done a great deal of the work. Senator Keller inaugurated the investi gation, and has labored enthusiastically and persistently throughout the investi gation. PASSING KILLS. The ISiilcn Were Suspended and a Oiz Wrist of .TEeasures Passed. At 2:15 Senator J. D. Smith moved to permit senators to call up bills for an hour, and place them upon final reading aud passage unless the bills are objected to. Senator Stovens amended so that the roll would be calied and each sen ator name a bill to ba considered. If objections were raised the senator could proceed until five bills had been called. This prevailed. Senator Alien called up House File 4TI, relating to bonds, and this was promptly objected to. Then he called up the Hoggs bill. House File 100, providing that when cities, villages or towns vote aid to railroads, it be by the Australian system. This was also objected to. and then Senator Ayres was called. He was not ready, and Senator Barr was called. He named House File 249, providing for the payment of county commissioners. The bill was passed. House File 07.) was passed at the instance of Senator Bor chert. It is the Birch Coolie battle-field monument. Senator Brown cailed up Senate Files 159 and 157 successively, but, as a matter of course, they were objected to. They are the bills abolish ing the offices of the railroad commis sioners and tha grain and warehouse commissioners. The following bills were then passed: Senate File 472, relating to articles of incorporation. Senate File 515, relating to keeping records of old soldiers and building monuments to their memory. Senate File 474, relating to punish ment for frauds in the sales of Bjßods, and providing for a deposit of $500 to guarantee good faith.

Wild Scenes Enacted in This Morning's Early Hours. Passage of the Bill to Sell the Old Market Rookery. Summary of the Hurly-Burly Which Passed as a Session. For three or four hours last night the proceedings in the Minnesota house of representatives was a monumental farce. Early in the evening, up to 10 o'clock, there was p fair semblance of order. The chair repeatedly pounded the desk and exhorted the members to bo in order. They wouid be for a few moments; then of a sudden nothing could be heard for the whispering, talking, buzzing and tramping back and forward in the lobbies and aisles. A scene of appalling and utterly un controllable disorder was precipitated by an effort to pass Senator Mott'a rail road fencing bill. The leading farmer members on the floor protested hotly, and filibustered with savage determina tion, but they were eventually ruled down aud nut, succumbing from sheer inability to stand any longer against overwhelming odds. As it turned out, they were destined to be wiuners, and went to bed happy. lUarkliani and Pray Guiltless. It was after 10 o'clock when Mr. Wil son, of Goodhue, secured leave to in troduce a report from the Marknam in vestigating committee. As it developed there were three reports, the majority of the committee, Messrs. F. M. Wilson, T. Cole and Uncierleak com pleteiy exonerating Mr. Markham and Mr. Pray from all charges of receiving or agreeing to receive a bribe. Mr. Waeek presented a minority report and so did Mr. Koerner. The two latter were not read, aud, after a brief argu ment, all three were laid on the table until today. The Charter Bill was not in it. Nothing was heard of it —not even a whisper. Senate bills and house bills were called up indiscrimin ately, but only one man, Mr. CJreer, mentioned the bulky product of the legal commission that worked so loner and in such a sanguine spirit to yet up an ideal general charter, and his plea for it was laughed down. It was left on the table to sleep, without even a pillow to rest on. The road and bridge bill, carrying an appropriation of $40,000 in round num bers, was denounced in unqualified terms by Messrs. Turroil, Jacobson and Speaker Lee. They would not have it under any circumstances. The internal improvement fund was overdrawn so far ahead that it would be nothing less than farcical to pass such a bill. It did not pass, but was left to die friendless and alone. Earlier Proceedings. The house yesterday passed, by a good majority, the senate bill appro pri ating 5230.000 for a farmers' elevator at Duluth. The building is to be com pleted in 1894. ]t is understood Gov. Nelson will sign the bill. A senate bill was also passed which will revolutionize to some extent the management of the insane hospitals of the state. It will reduce the board of commissioners to five from nine. At least one bill of great interest to St. Paul was put through. It is a senate bill authorizing the sale of the present market house property at Seventh and Wabasha streets by a three-fourths vote of the city council. Ecimsey county commissioners may hereafter have no excuse for kicking on the amount of work they- are compelled to do for a paltry stipend. The house / passed a bill putting them on the same footing as the llennepiu county coiumis sir icrs at a salary of ? ( .iOO per year.

Mr. O'Neill stirred up a little rumpus by moving to suspend the rules and pass S. F. 233, appropriating for s\ fanners' elevator at Daluth. The motion was opposed from tha word go, and was as vehemently advocated. Mr. Turrell first trained his gins on the measure. He would demolish it, or at least till it full ot holes, as contrary to state policy. Then Mr. Wilson, of Goodhue, hurried up witli his heavy battery and delivered hot shot at the bill as being paternal in character. Tha grain business he held to ba as private as any other business, and as fully en titled to be left free from state interfer ence. Mr. Maguire spoke for the bill in his vigorous way, as did Mr. Barrett, whose exposition of the question was master ful, interesting and convincing. These were backed up by Messrs. Lende, Bjorge and Jacobson. The latter made one of his impetuous assaults on the op ponents of the bill, paying special at tention to Mr. Wilson. He succeeded in getting everybody worked up to such a pitch that when Mr. Bjorge moved the previous question the motion prevailed. The roll was then called and the rules were suspended, 84 to 21. Several oppo nents of the bill voted to suspend the rules, in order, as they stated, to give its friends a chance to get a vote on it. When put on its final passage the bill went throngh on tne following vote: Barrett, Hunck, Nilsson, Beniier, Jves. O'Neill, Bjorge. Junobson. Ongstad, Boggs, Johnson, A..

Gigantic Scheme to Connect the Twins and the Zen ith Cily. A Canal Whose Branches Will Reach Every Wheat Field in the State. Locks and Dams That Will Entirely Revolutionize Transportation. Completion of the Work Will Be the Realization of Early Dreams. ■"pecial to the Globe. Duluth, Minn., April 18.— The Min nesota Canal company, which filed ar ticles of incorporation in St. Paul, Sat urday, and in Duluth today, surprise the people of this city tonight by intro- I ducing an ordinance in the coun cil this evening, asking permisd sion to lay water pipe through the different streets of Duluth. It is not the present intention of the com pany to dig a canal between Duluth and the Twin Cities; but rather to build a caual from the St. Louis river, near_ Cloquer, in a northeasterly direction until it reaches the hills back of Duluth, the length of the canal to be twenty-five miles. The company will also dredge the St. Louis river aud make it navigable far up above Clo g vet. National legislation has been se cured from time to time, and the com pany has been quietly at work. Of course the object of building a canal to the hill above Duluth and establishing reser voirs there is to furnish water to the city, not only for fire protection, but also for manufacturing pur poses. It is a gigantic scheme, and one that appears to be feasible. The company asks the privilege of lay ing the pipes in the streets and alleys west of Third aveuue east. The cost of these water supply works will be at least ?100,000 for the first year. They have been conduct ing extensive surveys near Cloquet. Henry Curtis Soaulding, president of the company, told your correspondent today that he was obliged to assume ret icence in the matter for the present, but admitted that the ultimate plan of the company was to extend its canal system throughout the state, connecting Duluth with several important points, including St. Paul and Minneapolis and the wheat fields of the Northwest. He claims to have un limited capital at his disposal. The es timated cost of power for Duluth man ufacturers is SIS per horse power per annum. Steam power costs £25 to 140. There will be a dam 500 feet long built in the St. Louis river just below where the canal begins. The reservoirs at the top of the hill will be over GOO feet above the city. The cost of improving in this way the waters of St. Louis county is estimated at $6, --000,000. Large manufacturing estab lishments will be established along the shores of the canal, which will be 120 feet wide ami 20 feet deep. SHOT HIMSELF. Hiram Gibb3 Found Behind tho Barn With His Head Blown Off". Special to the Globe. Glen'cok, Minn., April 17.— Hiram Gibbs, a young man nineteen years of as;e living in New Auburn, a little in land village seven miles south of here, was found dead clo.se to his home, yes terday afternoon.

Nothing more was thought of his absence until a few hours later, when his body was found behind a barn. When found his head was lit erally blown to atoms, Indicating that the muzzle of the siup. had been placed in his mouth and discharged. WON'T GO BACK. The Brookinjts Students Will Re main .

Milwaukee, April 17.— Some day 9 ago the legislature passed the bill al lowing the Hygeia Spring people to pipe their water out of Waukesha. This in censed a large proportion of the good citizens of that town, and Saturday night a meeting was held and a number of speeches were made. This morning a delegation of SOO citizens went to Mad ison on a special train to petition the governor not to sign the bill. They marched up the east side of the capitol singing anti-pipe line songs. The gov ernor's decision is expected tomorrow. Threats have been made against the members of the legislature who vote<J lor the bill. lODD'S DIVORCE. Ho Says His Wife Will Not Con* test the Decree.
