CONFIDENCE GAME.
Sat Down On Hard by the
House at Yesterday's Ses
sion.
HARD ON THE FLOUR CITY.
Minneapolis Can't Sell Her
Parks or Buy the State
Capitol.
A STiLLWATER PROPOSITION
Rather More Feasible Than
That Put on Paper by
Minneapolis.
The steerers of the Minneapolis
Loring park bunco game made their
play before the house at its session
yesterday morning, and, with a well
assumed appearance of good faith,
offered to donate to the state for
a eapiiol site the land which they
-./ei. '- _w they have no right to con
ve' The matter was brought for
. .di.. before the house in the form
of a memorial, offering to convey
to the state in fee simple the site
known as Loring park, provided the
same was used as the location of
the state capitol. The proposition
was so obviously absurd and illegal
that Mr. Douglass, of Clay county,
at once took the floor to protest
against the entertainment of it by
the house. He clearly demonstrated,
Mr. Underwood to the contrary not
withstanding, that Minneapolis
could not convey the property in
question, and in passing pointed out
the impracticability and inutility of
the various schemes presented for
the removal of the capitol. He was
ably supported by Mr. Warner, of
the Ramsey delegation, who met the
untruths of Hennepin members to
the effect that it would cost a great
deal of money to grade the present
site by the statement that the com
mission had already received propo
sitions from parties who would do
the grading for the sand that would
be excavated. Messrs. Staples, Ja
cobson, Jones, J. D., Lockwood and
aiallette spoke in opposition to the
proposed scheme, each pointing out
some absurdity which the others had
not noticed. A motion to appoint a
• committee of fifteen to consider the
proposition came from Hennepin
county. Mr. Staples amended to re
fer it to the committee on public
lands, but Mr. Jacobson raised the
point that Mr. Staples' motion was
unnecessary, as it would go to that
or the judiciary committee anyhow.
This point being sustained, it would
require a two-thirds majority to sus
pend the rule, nnd the two-thirds
majority could not be had, so the
proposition fell through, and the
speaker referred it to the judiciary
committee. . . -
After this disposal of the matter
Mr. Sutton presented a resolution
which will commend itself as being
far more practical than the Minne
apolis scheme. It was as follows:
Whereas, Tl .? citizens of St. Paul
and Minneapolis and the representa
tives in the legislature of the respect
ive cities are hopelessly divided on
lite question of the location of the
state caj itol, and
Whereas, The question of the em
ployment of convict labor is an issue
before this legislature, and
iJ~» hereas ,' The convict labor can be
best employed, and with the least
competition with free labor, on public
works, and in the cutting and dress?
ing of stone: therefore ?.• -" S
Resolved, That a committee of three
be appointed by the speaker, and that
said committee solicit Proposals from
the city of Stillwater looking to the
location of the state capitol m that
Mr. Warner moved its reference to
the same committee which had charge
of the Minneapolis idea, as it was of
tne same general character and of
rather more substantial form, but the
house voted to table it until the Min
neapolis game was disposed of.
The house then adjourned for the
Duluth trip, or until Monday at 10
a. m.

BROCKTON, Mass., March 14.— The

LADIES DRAW A COLOR LINE.
The Georgia Women's Press Club
Quits the Federation.
I ATLANTA, Ga., March 14.— The j
I Georgia Women's Press club will with- I
i draw its membership from the general 1
■ federation of women's clubs for the rea- i
[son that tha federation has just admit
i ted into its membership three clubs i
made up of negro women. This was
decided by the governing board of the i
club, which held a meeting yesterday I
afternoon at the Capital Female college.
The board was composed of Miss Beck, ;
president; Miss Corinne Stocker, Miss
Ellen Dortch, assistant state librarian;
j Miss Rose Woodbury, of Athens; Mrs.
j William King. Miss A. P. Perm, of
I MonticelloT— and Mrs. Maybrlck, of
J America. The club when it was or
; ganl__el??<f is asked to join this federa
tion, which it did. ( It was one of the
first Southern* women's clubs to take
thia action, and it will be the first to
withdraw .from it. The withdrawal
was caused by the admission jvithin
the last few weeks of the three negro
women.-, press clubs from the states
of Indiana and Illinois. Miss Beck
opened up correspondence with the
officers of the federation. She main
tained that the members of the Georgia
Women's Press club were not yet
ready to belong to a club that admit
ted negro women as their social equals.
The Northern women maintained that
it was not admitting them as social
equals, but only as fellow 'workers. A
spirited correspondence was followed
j between the two sections, the South-
I era women claiming, while they were
glad to see negroes advancing, the.v
could not afford to associate with them
and admit them as equals in the same
clubs.
LABOR LAW KNOCKED OUT.
The < our... Rule ____«_■!________ Indium.
L'niontf:
FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 14.-
Judge O'Rourke, of the circuit court,
entered a ruling today of special in
terest to labor unions in Indiana and
general Interest to unions everywhere.
| January last the street car men em
! ployed on" the lines of the Citizens'
railway struck. Their ; places were
filled and the union declared a boy
cott on the railway which is still on.
A few weeks ago a union man was dis
charged by the company. The strik
ers claimed it was because he be
longed to the union. In 1893 the state
enacted a law making it" an offense
for an employer to discharge an em
ploye for no other reason than belong
ing to a labor union." An affidavit
and information was filed against L.
D. McNutt, superintendent of the rail
way, for violating this law. The
union desired to make a test case and
was backed by the' state federation of
labor. Before the judge today a mo
tion to quash the indictment was sus
tained. The judge holds the statute
constitutional, but defecive in word
ing and construction. The decision,
if sustained, makes the state law in
operative and void. The measure wan
especially relied on in laboring circles.
BUCKING THE TRUST.
Another Big- Distillery Is to Be
Erected.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., March 11.-
George W. Kidd and Frank Curtis, of
New York, and K. C. Cafiifeld, of Bos
ton, directors of the big anti-trust dis
tillery,. are in the city ostensibly' for.
the pupose of holding a directors' meet
ing.. It is learned on reliable authori
ty that the anti-trust magnate? have
decided to build another distillery,
much larger even than the one built
here last year. It would seem that the
only reason in not making known their
determination at .once is due to the
fact that they first desire to acquire a
considerable amount of land adjacent
to their present, plant. The directors
have said they could use the output of
an eight or ten-thousand bushel house
in addition to the yield of the distillery
now operating here. Architects who
built the anti-trust distillery are here
preparing plans, and It is believed that
work will begin at once. Director Gaf
field says that investigation discloses
the fact that coal is as cheap here as
at any other point, corn will average
but a fraction higher and that on the
whole it is desirable to have the busi
ness of the company concentrated as
much as possible.
REFORMERS WITHOUT A JOB.
Mayor to Have Ho Voice in Goth
_____■_*_ Police Reorganisation.
ALBANY, N. V., March 14.— The bills
to reorganize the police department of
New York city were agreed upon by
the Lexow committee today. The bills
are drawn so as to take from the re
form mayor of New York any power
of appointment in the matter and lodge
it with the party leaders by retaining

isation commission to be appointed by
the mayor.
The bills this afternoon reported not
only take from the mayor any right
to aid in reorganizing the ' department
of police under his control, but make
permanent dtiing his term of office the
present incumbents in offices of police

TRUANTCAMEBACK
Senator Cronkhite Surprised
lhat He Unwittingly Be
came Famous.
DAY'S VOTE QUESTIONED.
Kay Make Him "Noted If the
Anderson Bill Gets Into
Court.
YALE'S VOTE WAS RECORDED
A Bill Introduced ln the
Senate to Inspect Food
Animals.
Senator J. Q. Cronkhite returned
to the city last evening, the ftiost
surprised man in the legislature that
he had become so notorious for his
absence while the Anderson bill was
under consideration. He was in
dignant at the treatment he had re
ceived, in view of the fact that he
was absent on leave to attend to
private business, and also state af
fairs. "When seen in his room at the
Clarendon last evening he expressed
regret that he should have been
placed in an awkward position. The
account he gave of his absence is
substantially as follows: "It is well
known that I have been a regular
attendant upon the sessions of the
senate. I had not been home since
the beginning of the session until
last week. I then secured leave of
absence to go home to look after
farming interests. I have large
farms, and am seeding over' 500
acres this spring. I was obliged to
go to Duluth to look after a private
matter that had to be attended to
on Wednesday, that being the date
fixed to attend to some commercial
paper. When on my way from home
I met Judge Frank Ives, who gave
me a bundle of papers bearing upon
the investigation of him before the
legislature, and requested me to be
careful to place them in the hands
of either his son or brother in this
city. I reached the city Wednesday
morning, and went to the capitol to
find Henry Ives, who I expected
was there. Not finding him, I went
into the senate a few moments, and
then went to the Merchants' hotel,
and left, the papers with a cleric
I then went to Minneapolis, to catch
a train, and went. to Duluth, where
I. atended to some private business.
Early in the session I was appointed
as one of a committee of three to
investigate the expenditures of the
fire sufferers' fund. I had been
working on this matter in this city,
and was expected to make some
inquiries at Hinckley. Today I came
down as far . as Hinckley, where I
got off, and made inquiries as to the
expenditure of the funds, and to
hear what might be said by the
people about the claim that the
funds had not been properly ex
pended. When there I got the daily
papers, and found what had taken
place. ' I think I have been .treated'
badly in the matter. I was away
under leave of absence. While at
home I wrote to the president of the
senate stating that I would be de
tained a few days. When I came
back yesterday I did not report for
roll call because I was obliged to
be in Duluth that day to attend to
business. It is well known that I
am not a coward, and
NEVER DODGE
a vote. I spoke upon the bill when
it was upon general orders, and the
senate knows I am not afraid to
meet any question. When I came
here some . of my people told "me
that if I had an idea that the parage
of such a bill would interfere with
; the gross earnings tax to vote
against it. I am ready to -meet the
question at any time. It will do no
good to declare my position at this
time, as it would seem. that I wanted
'to - square myself. I am ready to
face my constituents or any one else
upon that question. When I learned
that notice had been given that a
vote would be taken to consider
the bill, I thought that when recon
sidered it would be placed where it
was before. I did noi expect a vote
upon the merits of the bill again
until I should return. I*did not ex
pect that any .such contingency
would arise, and: I think I have not
been treated fairly in the matter,
i since I was absent under leave."
A LEGAL QUERY. ': '■';.•;.
The conditions surrounding the
i passage of the bill to tax railroad
lands are the subject of discus-
I sion among lawyers who are mem
bers of the legislature as well as the
profession generally. There are a
number of such that are willing to
say that they have serious doubts
as to the right of Lieut. Gov. Day
to vote upon the measure. This
raises a nice question that may be
carried to the courts. The attorney
general was- asked for a chimney
corner opinion on the matter yester
day by a GLOBE reporter, but held
up his hands in protest and asked
jto be excused. This is probably the
! right course to pursue, as he may be
j asked officially for an opinion by the
! chief executive of the state before
j signing the bill. Members of the
j judiciary committee of the senate
; | talk in- a general way upon the
| matter. - y.
Senator McHale is chairman of the
j subcommittee on constitutional law
{ in the senate judiciary committee,
I and is said to be cue of the best
j constitutional lawyers in the state.
J He takes the position that Lieut.
j Gov. Day had no vote in such cases.
j He made this point at the time the
vote was taken.
Senator Stevens, while not express
ing an opinion directly upon the
I point, said yesterday: "Mr. Day is
| de facto senator from Martin coun
j ty, and nothing but quo warranto
j proceedings could affect his right to
j vote as such senator,: and these pro-
I ceedings could n. t affect any act of
• his as such de f___-to senator, com
pleted before t>,e proceedings were
instituted."
; It is , known, however, that . Sen
ator Stevens, as well as other law
yers in the senate, don't want the
question of his right to vote raised
upon any bill in?. which they have
any personal pride. When there is
a slim attendance of the senate
while bills are under consideration
for final passage, these same . law
yers are the habit of laying, their
' bills , over, or of being sure that they
have more than twenty-eight votes.
i mfTTHT'*Ti. "TTInI niTllHUniniilinti iNH i" .
Some time ago a group of senators '
were discussing the matter in the j
presence of the presiding officer, and [
one of them suggested to him that j
it would save possible; trouble if he •
should not vote upon a bill- when 'j
it passed by a bare majority, include !
ing his vote. """ '*' -'•_.__;? j
IS NON-COMMITTAL.
While pleased to be called lieutenant
governor, yet the statesman from Mar
tin county will not say, in his serious
moments, whether he has a right, .to'
the title or is a plain senator, or only
president of the senate. It is known '
that he did not take the oath of office
in presence of the senate at .the time I
Gov. Clough was sworn In, nor at any i
time since. His oath of office has not !
been filed with the secretary of state.)
If he has been sworn in as lieutenant!
governor he has never so stated pub
licly. He draws the pay of lieutenant [
governor, however, and signs bills that J
have passed the senate with that title j
affixed. "'''Z
He wants to hold on to the office of
state senator, after his term as lieu- 1
tenant governor expires. The governor
has not declared his seat as senator
vacant. The constitution declares that
no senator or representative can hold
any other office under the United States
or the state, except postmaster. An
other clause of the constitution \ pro
vided that before the close of the ses
sion the senate shall elect one of their
number president pro tempore, who j
shall be lieutenant governor in case of
a vacancy In that office. Another pro
vision is to the effect that the lieuten
ant governor shall be ex-officio presi
dent of the senate. It is a well known
fact that the lieutenant governor has -
no vote. The constitution, also povides j
that all officers shall, before assuming j
the duties of office, take an oath or
make affirmation as prescribed. Then
comes the question as to the right to
preside or to sign bills and draw pay
as lieutenant governor without taking
the oath of office. The questions that
may be raised on the Anderson bill are
such as to make It interesting and will
povoke endless discussion until decided
some way. If. the bill shall be appoved
by the govenor and adopted by the
people the railroads may take the case
into the. courts.' Railroad attorneys
were unwilling yesterday to discuss
the phases of the matter for the pres
ent, but there is no doubt, that they
have considered the matter.
WANTED A RECORD.
The senate disposed of about all the
business before it yesterday before . 1
o'clock, and then adjourned to allow
such as desired to go on the excursion
to Duluth and the iron region of the
state.
Senator Yale wanted to have the
journal corrected so as to. .show that
he voted In the negative upon House
File No. 1. He way unavoidably : ab
sent when the v_*|» was taken the
night before. _.' ; y '
President __»ty thought that such
could not be done In the form asked,
and asked the opinion of the chair
man of the jin_ici__,.y committee on the
subject." Senator Stevens said he be
lieved the president had taken -the
right position, but suggested that a
record might be made to the effect
that the senator would have voted, in
the negative had he been present.
This suggestion was adopted and, was
satisfactory to Senator Yale. j Z v .,
INSPECT LIVE STOCK?
. Senator Stevens introduced a bill to
prevent the sale of . fresh or cured
beef, mutton or pork for human food
in cities of 30,000 inhabitants or over,,
or within the counties in which J tha
cities are located, or within ten mi.es
of the city, unless there shall have
been an inspection by an inspector of
cattle, sheep and swine, to be ; aP*
pointed by the state board of health,
before the animals shall "" have been
slaughtered. .In ..<_.se the inspector
does not certify that the animals were
suitable for food, the meat shall not
be sold. He also presented a bill to
empower municipal courts to issue
execution upon their own judgments.
Senator Potter introduced a bill to
' provide for the election of. a state
dairy and food commissioner, in place
of being appointed. The term of office
shall be two years and the salary $2,
--.000. He also introduced a bill to pre
vent the adulteration of candy. ? •'_'■.?..."
Senator Stebbins introduced a bill
which relates to chattel mortgages,
and provides that they shall not be
a lien, upon personal property unless
they shall be an immediate delivery,
followed by actual, and continued
change of possession, and shall be
void as to creditors and purchasers,
unless filed in the office of register
of deeds. •

Senator Schaller introduced a bill to

is given the poundmaster upon the
animals for the charges and expenses.
Senator Spencer introduced a bill
having for its purpose the encourage
ment of the propagation of whitefish
in lakes. To license persons to catch
whitefish. The bill also provides for
levying a tax to protect the fish.
Senator Morgan introduced a bill,
which was passed, under a suspension
of the rules. The bill amends the law
of 1878 so as to provide for holding
five terms of court in Hennepin

Was Lie .v.-llin-.
TOPEKA, Kan., March 14.— Mrs.
Mary E. Lease, orator: and politician,
has won her latest .fight. Recently
George A. Clark wa3 appointed by Gov.
Morrill to succeed her as member of
the state board of charities and the
-appointment waa confirmed by the
senate. When Clark attempted to take
office a few days ago, Mrs. Lease re
fused to vacate, stating her term did
not end until 1896, and she took steps
to have her case settled in court.: An
examination of the records in the gov

measure to the senate Gov. Llewelllng
nominated Mrs. Mary E. Lease as the
sucessor of Capt. Rhodes. This term
will not expire until next year, and

COMISKEY IS HERE.
He Will Now Begin Prepara
tions fop the Opening of
Season.
PERSONNEL OF HIS TEAM.
Eastern League Kicks on Sale
of Players to St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
THE AILSA IS A WONDER.
She Beats the Britannia at
Cannes by a Full Twelve
Minutes.
Captain-Manager Comiskey, of the
St. Paul Base Ball club arrived in
this city yesterday from Milwaukee
and registered at the "Windsor. He
will remain in St. Paul until the
season ppens, superintending the
work at the ball park and getting his
team in condition.
"I've got a lot of hustlers, heavy
hitters and hard workers, all of
them," said Capt. Comiskey, speak
ing of the aggregation of talent that
will represent St. Paul in the West
ern league this season. While de
clining to express his position as to
the possibility of his team's win
ning the pennant, the big first base
man declared that the St. Paul club
would hold its own against any
team in the league. The clubs are
all strong, he asserts, the circuit an
exceedingly good one, and first-class
ball is promised.
Several hours yesterday were de
voted by Comiskey to investigating
different sites for a ball park. He
arrived at.no conclusion, but as
serts that whichever, location is se
lected, it will be of easy access.
Just as soon as he chooses the site,
the work of fencing in will be im
mediately begun. He has ordered
his players to report here on April
15. Practice work will begin at
once.
The personnel of the St. Paul club
thus far is as follows: Pitchers. Pep
per, Kllieen, probably Tony Mullane,
Johnson and Masserlle: catchers,Berg
er, Kraus and Boyle; first base, Com
iskey; second. Jack Pickett; shortstop,
Houlahan; third base, O'Rourke; right
field, Marr; center,. Smith; left. Camp.
The club Includes five left-handed
batters, all experts with the stick,
each of whom last season had a bat
ting average of over 300. Capt. Com-
Iskey's men should make a remark
ably good showing, Inasmuch as the
club Includes a majority of the pen
nant-winning Sioux City club of last
season.. Catchers Kraus and Boyle
were among the number. The latter Is
' A PROMISING YOUNGSTER
and a brother to Capt. Jack Boyle, of
the "Phillies." Comiskey is very fa
vorably . Impressed with Backstop
Berger, who played with Erie, of the
Eastern league, last season. He Is a
strapping big . fellow, an accurate
thrower and distressingly vicious with
the wagon-tongue. Pitcher Pepper,
for whom Cunningham was ex
changed to Louisville, is rated A 1 by
Capt. Comiskey? Since the deal the '
I management of the . "Colonels" has
wanted Pepper back, but he will play
with- the St. Pauls. Killen was one of
the most successful twlrlers that the
"Slouxs" presented In 1894. Johnson
and Masserlle, of the pitching depart
ment, are both youngsters, experi
ments. Mullane has been awarded to
Comiskey, but It is possible that the
"Count" may not play here. Ho is a
first-class man in the box, and can
play an in-field position well.
• Shortstop "Red" Houlahan ls at
present incapacitated by a bad leg, but
Comiskey has his eye on another like
ly man if Houlahan fails to materialize..
The St. Paul's outfield Is particularly
strong. "Lefty" Marr, with a batting
average of 378 in 1891; Ollie Smith, an
ex-"Colonel," and Camp, who won the
admiration of aged "Papa" Anson,
compose a trio that will "eat up" any
thing that Western league batsmen
may drop In their territory.
Under the salary limit, (""apt. Comis
key's club will not contain more than
■eleven men at the outside. This will
necessitate letting, some of the boys
go. The weedlng-out process will not
begin until after the entire club has
been thoroughly tried. When finally
settled, the St. Paul battery will in-.
I elude- three pitchers and a backstop.
All ln all. the team Is a good one, and
'gives promise of base ball triumphs.
AILSA A WOXDER.
She Beats Britannia by Twelve
Minutes.
CANNES, France, March 14.— 1n a
light southeast breeze, which promised
to increase as the day wore on, Ailsa,
Britannia and Corsair started at 11
o'clock in the race of the Ogden-Goelet
and James Gordon Bennett Challenge
Cup.No. 1 (now held by Britannia), val
ued' at 300 guineas, for all yachts
over twenty-rating.
From the moment of crossing the
line, Ailsa pulled away from Britannia,
and in five minutes had a long lead.
The Prince of Wales drove to the
quay some time before the races and
embarked In the launch belonging to
Mr. Richard Winslow, which conveyed
him on board the Britannia. The party
included Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wins
low, the latter - wearing a Britannia
ribbon around her sailor's round cap. .
At the start Ailsa crept under Bri
tannia's lea, then reached along pret
tily and, just before the starting gun
was fired; she wore around smartly,
dashed over the line and was her own
length and some 1 daylight ahead when
Britannia followed her..
; Ailsa's lead was 2:11 on Britannia.
. From the moment of crossing the
line, Ailsa sailed right away from Bri
tannia, and in five minutes had a long
lead.
Time at finish: Ailsa, 2:47:31; Bri
tannia, 3:00:44.. Ailsa consequently
won by 13:13 actual time, and deduct
ing her time allowance of 1:13 due Bri
tannia, the new cutter beat the Prince
of Wales' yacht by 12 m corrected time.
After Ailsa crossed the line she
waited: for Britannia, and when the
latter had finished the Prince of Wales'
cutter was sailed very close to Ailsa,
and the Prince of Wales raised his
yachting cap in the air, and- led. three
hearty cheers for the boat which had
given his boat the most severe beat
ing she ever had.
Those on board the Ailsa returned the
cheers, and the victorious cutter then
proceeded to the quay where she was
welcomed by a large crowd of. people.
It was reported, after the race, that
Ogden Goelet.won $23,000 from Baron
Hirsch on Ailsa's victory.

Eastern League Objects to Sale of
Keuhne, Lally and Berber.
NEW YORK. March 14.-The East
ern league officials have been in ses
sion, devoting much of their time to
a discussion of the grievance against
the Western league. At the annual
meeting of the Eastern league last fall
P. R. Franklin, of * the Buffalo club,
purchased the franchise and players
of the Erie club for $1,000. The club
and players were supposed to be under
protection, for which the National
league had been paid. Since the sale
Players Keuhne and Lally have been
signed by Minneapolis, and Catcher
Berger by Comiskey for his St. Paul
team. This caused a clash of national
agreement rules., and .principles j Im
mediately, and although the .Rational
league has been,, asked [repeatedly- to
decide the question, It has- not done so.
A committee consisting! of Messrs.
Powers, Depinet and Franklin was ap
pointed to make a statement in the
national board and demand a decision
President Powers in regard to the
case said: "We feel that we are en
titled to make the transfer of the Erie
club to Mr. Franklin, as we have al
ways lived up to the rules of the na
tional agreement and paid our money
for protection. When the Sioux City
club, of the Western league.' got Into
difficulties last year, we were asked
to keep our hands off the players, and
we did so. Now we want to know
from the National league just what we
are paying for."
ATHLETES ARE PLEASED.
More Hopeful for nu International
Match.
PRINCETON, N. J., March 11.-Capt.
James, of the athletic association, on
being informed that the Oxford-Cam
bridge games had been postponed until
July 3, said: "I see no reason why
the American and English universities
should not come together this summer.
We have favored July 15 or thereabouts
as the date, and now that the English
teams compete ten days earlier, I think
they will readily agree to this also.
We are heartily In favor of International
games and will do all In our power to
perfect arrangements. If the meet
ing Is held July 15 the members of the
New York Athletic club will have
ample time to prepare for their games
In September.". President Huntington
