CROOKSTON, Minn., May 14.—The twenty

ras made a vast difference with the number j
vftich has lined up with the Intention of be- j

Utke reservation lands. A woman planted j
lerself on a stool at the very head of the
me late this afternoon, and has held the -|
Dlace successfully up to the present time. \
She will continue to do so, as her exhibition
if spirit commands the admiration of the men.
she is from St. Paul, and her name is Jennie
.unnlngham. The scenes among those wait- j
ng are interesting. Besides the line of per- ;
laps a hundred and fifty, several other hund- -j
■ed are on hand, and the corridors are crowd- |
>d. A cry of pickpocket started a stampede '
n the assemblage, but the police force on
iuty restored order without serious trouble.
Some who have been ln the line during up
wards of sixty hours are thoroughly exhaust
>d, and will welcome the end of the long
■igil.
The land office today posted the following
lotlce:
"The land office will be opened May 15.
it 9 a. m. sharp, for the purpose of receiv
ng filings upon the reservation agricultural
ands. Only four will be admitted at one
ime. The office will recognize only one line,
hat being a continuation of the one now
ormed at the Second street entrance. The
riie officers will not recognize any substitu
ion in line, by purchase or otherwise. No
lumbers will be recognized."
The posting of the notice has had a good
iffect upon the sooners. From it they under
itand that they are to be protected, and
heir position in line recognized, a point
ipon which there had been considerable
loubt. Several visiting officers from St.

BOOMERS ON THE BORDER.
THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn., May 14.—
'he drenching rain which has prevailed ail
long the southern line of the Red Lake reser
ation has made life a burden for settlers in
he vicinity, who are ready to make the final
ush tomorrow morning.
The reservation proper is about four miles
istant. Nobody seems to have any definite
nformation as to the number of would-be
ettlers in the vicinity, for the same story of
rriving and departing crowds is told here
s at points along the line.
It is likely that several hundred are In line
■ aitfng for the opening hour, while the men
ho are already ln the reservation beginning
tieir Improvements will stay right where they
re, regardless of any telegrams from the
and commissioner. Those who are prepared
or the rain and storm are ln as good condi
ion as the average camper. But where they
re not fully protected they are suffering
nueh annoyance and Inconvenience, to say
he least, from the steady rains.

HURON, S. D., May 13.—A bulletin issued

ast week was from 80 to 93 in the shade, with
o unusually cool nights. Rains were light,

EAU CLAIRE. Wis*, May 14.—The Prohi
bition 3tate convention adopted a "broad
gauge" platform here today. On motion of
FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1^96
E. B. Smith, of Madison, the following was
Introduced as a fourth plank: "We demand
that silver be restored to Its position prior
to 1873." The fight which followed was a
long one. The convention was equally divid
ed between single issue men and tbe free
silver men. When a vote was finally b
the proposition it resulted In a tie, sixty-nine
voting each way. Chairman F. R. SebenthaL
of Eau Claire, then announced that he would
exercise his privilege of voting to decide a
tie, and would vote in the affirmative. The
uproar which followed lasted for some time.
The single issue men declare that diverging
from straight prohibition will cost the party
thousands of votes. The platform w;is as
follows: The suppression by law of tht
ufacture, sale and supply of alcohol liquors
for beverage purposes, and that all laws iruk
ing either federal, state or municipal rov
ernment parties in its profits be repeated.
Second, that suffrage should depend upon in
telligent citizenship rather than upon sex,
third, that we stand unequivocally for our
pubiic schools taught in the English lan
guage, and are opposed to any appropriations
of public money for sectarian pur;
fourth, we demand that silver be restored
to its position prior to 1873. The following
ticket was nominated: For governor, Mkj.
J. H. Berkey, of Monroe county; l'.u*

WA^'TTNGTON, May 14.—The Dupont case
involving the right of Henry A. Dupont, to
a seat ln the senate from Delaware, was
taken up ln the senate today with a view to
concluding the debate and taking a final vote
at 5 o'clock tomorrow. A brief tilt between
Gorman and Mitchell developed that a differ
ence of opinion existed as to the character
of the vote tomorrow. When Mr. Gorman
spoke of the unanimous agreement to vo.e
tomorrow, Mr. Mitchell admitted the cor
rectness of the statement, but added signifi
cantly that the character of the vote would be
determined when the vote was reached, wh'ch
was open to the meaning that the case would
be postponed until next session.Mr. Piatt j
(Rep., Conn.) spoke In support of Mr. Dv- j
pont's claim.
Two speeches against the bill proposing >
additional restrictions pn immigration by Mr. '
Gibson, (Dem., Md.) ibid Mr. Nelson (Rep., |
Minn.j were made early in the day. Mr. Gib
son severely arraigned .the A. P. A., declaring
that it inspired this .bill and that the or
ganization was seeking to Invade politics.
Mr. Gibnon said the power behind this
antl-immigratlon bill was the "American '
Protective association, a secret, oathbound,
red-lettered, left liaaued, dark lantern or
ganization." The bill has for Its real purpose,
said the senator, hostility to the Catholic ]
church—a purpose of envy, hatred and mal- i
Ice. This was the organization that was
seeking to enter American politics. There
was no branch of honed politics which a sec
ret, oath-bound organization could serve. Mr.
Gibson added:
"The whole people ate equally Interested In
the welfare of the country, and none should
be refused an equal share with the rest in
every deliberation, and ln all legislation af
fecting it. All political clubs, societies and
associations start on their career with pro
fessions skillfully drawn, so as to make It
appear that their purposes are patriotic and
worthy of support; but all of them, as soon
as they have obtained power, are used by
unprincipled men to do wrong. This Is the
history of all such societitee, and this will
be the history of the A. P. A. unless it*
evil tendencies are p**evented in time by the'
American people, and Rs dangerous career
stopped by their good*-sense and judgment.
I have faifh without bounds or limits in the
America-n people; in their moderation, wis
dom, justice and ecu Page.-- I do not believe
they will submit to the dictation of any such
organization as the A. P. A., but they will
promptly and effectiv'.'jry stamp with the seal
of their, condemnation this Impudent and
dangerous interference with the Interests of
this republic." In rer-Iying Mr. NPlson said
the A. P. A. did not enter into the question.
Mr. Nelson said the darker side of the Im
migration question had been presented, and
he would endeavor to present the brighter
side of the problem. It should be considerd
in its economic, political, social and ethnic
features. "Our own experience," he said,
"should be scanned and studied, for it will
furnish us much information and many val
uable lessons. We have been, to a large
extent, a nation of immigrants, and a large
share of our history is a history of immi
gration. No nation of modern times has had
such a varied and extended experience in
this field.
"The chief factors ln our extraordinary
growth and development Lave been our free
system of government, our abundant supply
of cheap and fertile lands, and the immense
immigration to our shores. The first two
have brought about, absorbed and utilized
the third. And the three combined have been
a trio, in force and magnitude, such as no
other nation possessed. Ample space, ample
freedom, and ample numbers have given us
a force and a momentum of growth unknown
and unheard of in any other nation, and the
evidences of It are palpable on all sides."
Mr. Nelson then reviewed the statistics of
immigration to this country, and continued:
"Only a small proportion of these people
have belonged to th*' learned professions or
have been skilled laborers. The great bulk
have been small farmers, small tradesmen,
and agricultural and other unskilled laborers.
Nearly all of them have been from the ranks
of the common people—the toiling masses
of humanity. People of rank and of wealth
have little occasion or desire to emigrate,
nor, Indeed, have they been desirable in a
country progressing under conditions such
as ours. We have needed men to dig our
canals, to build our railroads, to open and
exploit our mines, to clear our vast forests,
to open, develop ajid reduce to a state of
cultivation our vast expanse of untilled land;
in short, to perform the toil and drudgery,
and to bear the trials and misfortunes in
cident to the development of a new and un-
settled country. And this want has, in a
large measure, beep supplied by foreign im
migrapts. And in' thi-s field they have not
been hostile usurpers, but have merely oc
cupied ground that has most, willingly been
accorded to them by the native born. And
this toiling, struggling mass *of
charged to a large extent with the drudgery
of ourprogress and civilization, viewed from
an economical and financial starfdpoint, has
added millions to the wealth and capital ct"
our country. An immigrant increases our
wealth in a two-fold way, by the m__»/ _••

, brings into the country, and by his value as
, a laborer and producer of wealth.
"While all th;« is admitted as to the Ger
manic races, It is sa:d that people of other
I and inferior races, wholly unfit for Ameri
; can Institutions and v.i-o'ly unfit for se.f-
Bo b to oar -shores. Russ. ans,
Hungarians and Italians are cited as
I lea of these races. He who bel.ul.s
ecta to despise these rares knows lit
! tie of their history and ethnic make-up.
"It may be ur^ed," he said, taking up an
other branch of the subject, "that our great
j immigration has depressed, or will depress,
; the price of iabor. Th s might be true If
j American labor wee content to remain in the
I rut of mere labor, but our experience in the
| East, and ell over the country, has demen
! Btrated that the large influx of foreign labor
j has W<\ American labor to seek higher pur
j suits and more profitable callings. The re
suit has been, on the whole, the promotion
{ of American labor to greater and more en
larged spheres of usefulness. When the
American boy was crowded out of the fac
tory, the mine, and the rolling mill, by his
forelgu-born brother, he became a i.
or 1 eutenant of industry, and sought and'
assumed higher callings in various d!reot;ons.
.And the prouesr, »hat has ihus bo?n going on
between the native and the foreign-born
has also been going on among the foreign
born themselves. II £h waces and good liv
ing, under the sunshine of American insti
tutions, have produced an earlier crop of
foreign-born laborers, fit and anxious to be
ciowded out of their 'abor sphere, and pla<
on a higher industral level, by a later ar
rival of foreign-born labor. And thus it has
come to pass that continued immigration, s-o
for from depressing the scale of wagi s, has
rather resulted in gradually promoting iabor
to a higher level. And this ls a great gain."
IMMIGRATION AND CRIME.
As to criminal classes, Mr. Nelson said:
"But linally the objection comes to us that
foreigners furnish an undue proportion oi
erim m\z. This may bo true as to numbers,
but not as to character or quality. In mat
ters of defalcation and embezzlement in fidu
ciary relations the immigrants are not in the
front rank, nor do they excel ln shocking
and barbarous Crimea. Holmes, Hayward
and Durrant. the greatest and most depraved
j criminals of our day and generation, are
] neither immigrants, nor the sons of immi- '
: grants."
Referring directly to his own state, where
there ls a large percentage of foreign-born
population, many of his own race, Senator
Nelson paid a glowing tribute to the sous
of Scandia. He said:
"Fifty-five years ago Minnesota was a ter
! ritory; an undeveloped wilderness; the home
! of large bands of roving Indians, with hut '
1 6.000 white people within her borderes. Eight
| years later she became a member of the
; American union, with a population of over
' 150.000 people. In 18S5, pursuant to a census
; then taken, she found herself with a popu
lation of 1,574,019 people, of whom 517,525 i
| were of foreign birth, and 573,783 were na- j
i tlves of foreign parentage. In 1894 her as- j
i sessed valuation was $642,903,651, and her j
I permanent school and university fund was ,
| $11,74fi,187. She expended during the year, ;
• for educational purposes in all, $3,945,645, and i
! 337,701 pupils were enrolled in her common, !
j graded and high schools. 1.530 in her normal
| schools, and 1,828 students in her state uni-
I versify.
"Out of all this population there were but |
I Cl 3 Inmates in her stale prison and state re
formatory—the only places for the confine
' ment of adult criminals outside of the Jails
! and workhouses—and out of this prison popu
! latlon 423 were native born, and 190 foreign
I born. In the state reform school, for incor
rigibles and Juvenile offenders, there were ;
428 inmates, of whom 339 were native bom, ]
and 89 of foreign birth. No state can show |
a finer record than this, and the foreign born
have a prison record better even than the ;
native born. Such is Minnesota. And she is, !
to a large extent, under the sunshine and dew I
of her free institutions, the product of the
' Industry, the persevrrer.ee, the frugality and !
the thrift of her foreign born citizens and
their children. But she ls entit'ed to all,
and more than all, they have bn.ught her.
They came there, most of them, poor and
empty-handed, with no capital but stout
hearts and willing hands, but possessed of
an intense desire and purpose to become
good American citizens. The state received |
them with open arms, as though they wero
to the manor born, and on a parity with her ,
own peoole. And today, after the lapse of
half a century, she can truly say that they I
have not betrayed the trust she reposed in
them. As the good wife, though loving her
mother, still gives her husband the upper
most place In her affections, so do the for
elgn-born sons and daughters of Minnesoto.
though loving the lands of the r birth still
Dlace her and the great country of waich
she is a part, uppermost in their love and
affection." r
INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.
Steps Looking Towanl It Taken h>
House Committee. ,
WASHINGTON, May 14.—The house com
mittee on coinage, weights and measures _ to
day decided by a unanimous vote to author
ize a favorable report on a resolution intro
duced by C. W. Stone, of Pennsylvania,
authorizing preliminary proceedings looking
to the adoption of international coinage. The [
resolution provides that the president be j
authorized and requested to inv-te an ex
pression of opinion from the other principal
commercial nations of the world, as to the ,
desirability and feasibility of the adoption of !
international coins to be current in all the
countries adopting them, at a uniform value,
and to be especially adapted for invoice pur
poses. If the purposes thus obtained from
other nations are such as in the Judgment of
the president to render a conference desir- |
able, he is authorized to invite it at a time j
and'place to be designated by hrm to con- j
sider and report a plan for the adoption and
use of such coins, composed of gold or silver,
or both.
INCREASED EXPORTS.

PRIVATE PENSION BILLS
Considered in the House I'nder the
Special Onler.
WASHINGTON, May 14.—The house today,
under the special order adopted last week, de
voted the whole day to private pension bills.
They were disposed of at the rate of about
uni every five minutes, fifty-eight in all be
ing favorably acted upon before adjournment.

the widow of Gen. O. If. Poe, $.0; the widow

While the pension bills were being consid- i
ered the committee of the whole rose in- >
formally and disagreed to the senate amend- I
mciits to the river and harbor bill, and sent
it to conference. Later Mr. Hepburn (Rep.,
Io.) raised the poi.it that the action was ir
regular and intimated that It was a piece of
sharp practice lo prevent the house from con
sidering the amendments in the committee of j
the whole. Mr. Herman (Rep.. Or.) disclaim- i
ed any such purpose, stating that the object •
was to hasten the bill ln anticipation of a !
presidential veto. The speaker took the point i
of order under advisement, and will decide it
tomorrow.

committee acting on the resolution censuring
Secretary Morton for his action in rejecting
the bid of the Northrup-Braslin-Goodwln '
company for supplying seeds to the govern- j
ment. He said that It would be difficult to

for that reason no action would be taken at
this session.

WINONA, Minn., May 14.—The river has
risen another Inch in the last twenty-four j
! hours, due to the rains of yesterday and the
day before. It is exceptionally high for this
time of the year. The sand bar which is
generally, quite an Island opposite the city,
is completely submerged and Its situation is
only seen by the tops of willows sticking out
of the water. Rafting men say that the !
water is too high to suit their work at Still- j
water and the other rafting works. The
water Is very yellow today from the large
amount of clay washed in by the rains.

ITTLE COMFORT FOR OFFICBr
SEEKERS IN WHAT HE
SAYS.
TALK WITH THE MAYOR-ELECT.
.'"II'TEEN APPLICANTS FOR i iiikv
OF POLICE AND THE SAME
FOR SECRETARY.
FIFTY FOR LICENSE INSPECTOR,
He Says GRmhllnß Will Not It.* Per*
mitted—Other Feature* of Ills
Policy.
Mayor-elect Doran Is going to keep a whole
lot of people on the anxious seat for some
time to come. That is the conclusion to be
derived from an Interview obtained by a re
porter for the O1 ob c at Mr. Doran's resi
dence last night. Mr. Doran's favorite posa
ls one showing his r!_ht profile. Some people
have started the report that this Is a pose
habit acquired during the last few weeks—
tha' it is Mr. Doran's way of giving a too
persistent offlce-huuter the "dead face." But
this must be erroneous, tor Mayor Doran ls a
mild-mannered and polite gentleman.
Mayor-elect Doran received the reporter cor
dially and talked freely. Ills words will bring
no relief to those candidates tortured with
doubts. They have yet some weeks, and may
be months, of worry before them, for Mayor
Doran needs time to make a definite choice
he -says so.
"Is it true. Mr Doran. that you have prom
ised the position of chief of poll.-.* to 11. N.
Goss?" was asked.
"No, it is not. And I may say n»w that I
have made no choice either for chief of po
lice or private secretary as yet. 1 have come
to no definite decision."
"Do you think it good policy to niake a
change In the head of the police department
until after the big encampment—considering
Ci-ief Clark's recognized ability for the
place?" queried the reporter.
' Well, that Is a matter that it takes time
to decide," and as he said this. Mayor Doran
looked at a large pastel portrait on the oppo
site side of the room.
"What about the rumor that a movement
i is on foot looking to the retention of Chief
j Clark until after the eneampiripnt?"
"It has not come to me in any definite
| shape. 1 have heard It, but merely as a
[ rumor. No one has been to see me about
I It, though I understand a certain element ls
! Interested ln such a movement. My opinion
I is," and here the mayor iraa emphatic, "that
t no one man is indispensable to any part of
the American people." S*J in< which, Mayor
Doran stopped, and his redundant ri^ht hand
closed on the arm of his "hair.
"Well, but what do you think you would
do in case the request were made by the G.
A. R., for instance?"
"The members of the G. A. R. are minding
theit own business. 01 course, l would con
sider such a request if properly brought be-
I fore me. But I have not heard lliat the
I G. A. R. Is interesting itself In any way. I
• am willing to listen at all times to sugges
j tions from my friends." Mayor Doran placed
particular stress on the word "friends."
"But no suggestion will prevent mc from
■ acting as I wnyse-H deem best."
"Eevery administration has a policy, Mr.
Doran. Have you as yet formulated yours,
or are you going to dispense with one? What
about gambling, the sociul evil and kindred
forms of vice? What are you going to do
with them?"
"I have always been opposed to devices
which would lead the young astray or place
them In positions of temptation. I have al
. ways regarded gambling as a great evil, and
i it can hare no place under my admlnlstra-
I ticn. I will have officials who will obey my
I wishes absolutely in all things, if r.eed be,
| and tho chief of police, as the head of the
j city officers, will be a man who agrees with
i me in every respect. No man can work under
j me who ls not my friend. I do not want un
j friendly servants. And I will listen only to
j my friends.
"In regulating the elements you speak of,"
the mayor continued, "of course, many things
are to be considered, but you can say gambling
will not be tolerated.
"You can also say that, after asking for
their resignations, I believe In giving retired
I officials time to look around, to decide what
they will do, before stepping out," said Mayor
Doran. "And you will oblige me by Just say
' Ing that in the matter of appointments, furth
-1 er than I have expressed myself, I am en
' tlrely non-committal. It may be some time
before I make any changes."
In closing the Interview, Mr. Doran took
occasion to state that there were about fifteen
candidates for chief of police, and about tho
same number for the position of private sec
retary. But the number of applicants for the
position of city license inspector Is appalling
—ever fifty of them all looking for the one
| position. Mayor Doran doesn't understand It.
He Is worried, and he looks It. He has a
careworn, hunted, harrassed cast of counten
ance, common to a jack rabbit in a coyote
country, if the expression may be permitted
without disrespect. He apparently cannot de
cide on his appointees, and he is waiting for
! something to turn up. He Is entitled to all
kinds of sympathy. But another trip Into the
rural fastnesses may give him a chance to
recover. He pleads guilty to the charge of
leaving town the other day to obtain rest.

O. IT. Arosin will be the president of the
new assembly. This Is cut and dried. Many
j were of the opinion that O. B. Lewis would
be selected to occupy the chair, but Mr. Lewis
declared that he did not desire the honor,
but preferred to remain on the floor of the
assembly. Consequently it has been arranged
to elect Mr. Arosin president of the assembly.
Certain important powers and duties attach
to this position other than the appointment
I of committees. The president of the as.cin
j bly selects the members of the common coun-
I cil who are to sit In the Joint court house
I and city hall commission. He also acis with
the mayor and city treasurer in passing upon
; all bids for school supplies. Formerly I
a voice in the appointment of the county as
sessor, but under the ruling of the supreme
court a year ago that power now rests solely
with the mayor and the county auditor.
• • •
It ls also settled that Aid. Markham will
be the president of the next board of aid- r
men. As such he will be the acting mayor
of St. Paul in the absence of Mr. Doran. It
Is understood that Mayor-elect Doran express
ed the desire that Aid. Markham accept the
presidency of the board of aldermen for this
reason.

It was learned yesterday that an important
conference of Republican leaders, local and
state, will be held Sunday at Chisago lake.
Dar Reese, clerk of the supreme court, has
I gone to the lake to make ready for the recep-
I tion of the other gentlemen, who arc expected
j to leave St. Paul In a special car at \:K> riatur-

Sheehan, Robert Seng, Col. Sam Lowenstein.
Eli Warner, Moses E. Clapp, E. S. Rogers,
F. C. Stevens, Editor Bronson Strain, Secre
tary of State Berg and Deputy State Auditor
Iverson.
There may be some fishing done by two or
three of the party, but the chase of the finny
> tribe will cut but little figure compared to the
i talks between the men who do so much in ihe
! management of Republican conventions. Sev
eral of ihe gentlemen mentioned are candi
dates for state offices, or political manrgcrs for
