There was some Informal discussion of
the coming bonspiel at Winnipeg-, and It
seems certain that enough players will go
from here to make up one rink, perhaps
enough for two. This, however, will be a
matter of individual determination by club
members. Skip Foote, of Minneapolis, will
taka a rink and Hurdon and Smith, of Du

I \ation Has Several Times Acted as
Host for Rulers of Other
Countries.
WASHINGTON BUREAU ST. PAUL GLOBE, )
CORCORAN BUILDING. \ \
! Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON*. Jan. 2S.— The arri
val of President Dole, of Hawaii, as a j
I guest of the nation is regarded by the '■
annexationists as a very important j
event. As he travels not incognito,
but as the chief magistrate of a friend- |
I ly people, he receives the same honors
that are paid to royalty.
This country is no stranger to r 'r.-i
visits of royal personages. It was, dur
j ing the troublous times in France, a
■ haven of refuge for Louis Philippe and j
! for the future Emperor Napoleon 111. j
It has entertained the Prince of 1
Wales, the Grand Duke Alexis of Rus- j
the emperor of Brazil, the Infanta
| Eulalia of Spain, and other notable
; Caucasian rulers or members of ruling
! houses. The crowned heads of Ha
i waii, however, have favored us more
I freely than those of Europe or of Euro
| pean blood. Queen Emma's visit oc
! eurred a long time ago, but is still re- j
: membered. Kalakaua's, in 1875, was
attended with a much more ostenta
tious display of hospitality, as we were
j just then trying to get something from
i Hawaii and needed his good will. The
visit of Queen Kapioiani, about ten
years ago, was made with less formal
parade, but President and Mrs. Cleve
land showed the visitor the usual dip
lomatic courtesies. LMtiokalani, who
had been here once as princess, did
not come again as queen, but deferred
her second visit till she had been driven
■ from the throne; and when Kaiulanl,
' the heir apparent, came, the monarchy
had already been overturned, so that
: her royalty, like Liliuokalani's, was de
. Jure simply, and, as such, not open to
lI recognition here.
Of all the visits made by actual or
potential rulers, . Kalakaua's was the
only one to which any significance be
yond an expression of kindly feeling
could possibly attai h. In that one mi
i stance, as has been <aid already, the
1 underlying object was of < ur own seek
ing — not of the other party's. We want
ed Kalakaua here tha* we might wire
and dine him t<> his h ■••■ - ntent,
; flatter some of our people the white,
and thereby clinch the international
; negotiations which were already well
I under way. Our present gu^st, how
i ever, comes without Invitation, and to
: promote an object in which his people,
■ rather than ours, are interested. He
! chooses the time for his visit, not whan
all is calm and quiet and the minds of
Americans are in a condition to weigh j
cooly the pro's and con's of the annex
question, but when the treaty is
j actually* before the senate, the subject
I of a long and acrimonious debate there
I and of heated discussion in the press.
In only one attitude, therefore, la it
! possible to see Mr. Dole — that of a sup
i plicant for favors, presenting himself
; at a time when sentiment rather than i
; reason is liable to tip the scale toward
! his side. Whatever may be said of his
! legal right to phooee his own time and
manner of coming, the question of good |
taste can be answered in only one way. j
In view of the entertainment of Pres
ident Dole as a guest of the nation, it
is of Interest to recall the cost of en
tertaining his royal predecessor, Kala
kaua. The bill of expenses, as given
to the press at the close of the king's
visit, was as follows:
Arlington hotel. Washington. D. C.
for hotel an.l carriage expenses $3,173 50
Capt. W. G. Temple and suite, for

The cost of entertaining President
| Dole will probably come out of the con
j tingent fund of the department of
i state, as no special appropriation ap
j pears to have been made to meet it.
j This means the cutting-off of a goodly
j slice from an already overcharged
; fund, especially when we remember
! that the visit was unsought on our side,
i and is for the purpose of helping Ha
; wall rather than of benefiting our
- sres.

Mr. Rosenfeld has a contract with
Acting Secretary of War George D i
Melklejonn, for the transportation of |
the government relief expedition to j

B. L. Brainerd, who was an officer in
the Greeley expedition. The govern- ,
ment sends 130 tons of provisions, '
agreeing to pay Mr. Rosenfeld $500 a

"We will use snow traction engines,"
said Mr. Rosenfeld. "We have six of
these engines, each with 300 horse pow
er. Five will be called upon to pull !
seven cars each, while the other on« i
will be light for the purpose of break- ■

familiar with the country and several
couriers with dogs to send back with
reports cf the expedition. We will take
no women.
"All the men who have b^en accepted j
as passeng-rs are able-bodied and the
that they have signed are

KEN'OSHA. Wis.. Jan. 23.— A serious
question has been raised as to whether
August Hilgendorf, convicted about
eighteen months ago of the murder of
his wife, is really guilty, or whether
the actual culprit was not Fred Hart
man, a man who was hanged in Paxton,
111., a few months ago. Attorney C. S. '

STRIKE" "CITIES" QUIET.
Employes Firm In Spite of the Pinch

BOSTON. Mass., Jan. 28.— A1l was j
quiet !n the New England strike cities
today. Although the operatives are I
beginning to feel privation sharply, :
there seems to be no wavering In their !
determination to keep up the fight. At ,
New Bedford a larger number applied ;
for aid at the offices of the overseers
of the poor today than at any time :
since the strike began. The severe cold j
weather caused great suffering.
In view of various rumors about a
compromise, which have been clrcu
lated at Biddeford, the strikers there ■
have again decided by a formal vote
not to return to work except under the
old schedule of wages.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.— The bill to

measure. The friends of the measure
proved themselves in an overwhelming

ing It could stand out no longer, re
luctantly yielded. The vote on the bill
was 188 to 67.

of 72 to 129. In continuation of the
filibustering tactics, begun last week.

in order to consume time..
The roll call developed such an over

(the vote being 75 to inS) that Mr. Dal

friends of the bill, and it was finally ar
ranged that after debate until 4 o'clock,
a vote should be had directly on the
bill.
At 4 o"clock the bill was favorably re
ported to the house, and on the demand
of Mr. Dalzell the vote on its passage

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.— There has
been talk among members of both
houses of a resolution of welcome to
President Dole, and an Invitation to
visit them in session, as was done when
: King Kalakaua was here. This was
I generally assented to in conversation
: by members of both sides, as an act of
; personal courtesy to the president of a
republic. But Mr. Hatch hearing of it,
; quietly signified to them that Presi
• dc-nit Dole, while highly appreciating
| every suggestion of courtesy, would
greatly prefer that it be omitted. When
j Dom Pedro, the emperor of Brazil, was
here, he made a similar suggestion
i when a similar courtesy was proposed.
; President Dole, ever since his arrival
in this country, has shrunk from all
displays. From Chicago he telegraph >d
the state department, requesting that
the proposed military escort, which w.n
to meet him at Washington, be dis
pensed with, and in San Fra-
I when Gen. Shaffer, commander of the
military division, proposed to give him
a military escort from the hotel to the
station on his departure for the East,
he urgently asked that all such form
and ceremony be abandoned.

TELLER RESOLUTION
Continued Front First Pace.
senator caused suppressed laughter ln
i. I " m paring the American sliver dollar
to the Mexican silver dollar by declar
ing that the former kept at a parity
with gold and could say "I know that
my redeemer liveth." it was not the
- who profited by a sound
money, but the whole body of the peo
pie was benefited by a well sustained
parity and was Injured by a Mexican
ized dollar.
ilr. Thurston (Xeb.) said that the
obligation of the government was
rth in Its contracts and there Is
no need now to restate the terms of
those contracts. He would, he said, so
far as his vote was concerned, follow
his party in Its declaration to main
tain the parity of all the dollars of the
rnment.
nan <S. C.) thought this
D was simply the maneuvering of
the great politioal parties for position
in the great contest that was to be
t in 1900. The people, he said,
I win in rhat con-teal as they had
ry tight they had over made.
Brief speeches followed by Mr. Haw-
Mr i ralllnger (Rep..

• A- an-1 Mr I lullom (111.),
the speakers doing little more than to
announce an intention to vote for or
against the resolution as the case
might be.
Mr. Butler (X. C.) advocated the
resolution, saying that instead of de
stroying- the parity of metals, it was
intended to sustain that parity by j
keeping both metals like both arms in
euual use.
Mr. Aldrich (Rep.. R. L) said it had
not needed the declaration of Mr. Vest
to disclose that this issue was the
opening of the campaign of 1898. "We
intend to meet this issue squarely,"
declared Mr. Aldrich. "We are respon
sible to the great party we represent
and beyond that to the American peo
ple, and we propose so far as we may
to maintain the honor and the credit
of the government."
AMENDMENTS VOTED DOWX.
\elioii Provlilon the Fir*t to Share
the Common Fate.
Mr. Aldrich closed Just as the clock
marked six, the hour for voting, and
the vice president promptly announced
that the voting would proceed. A.t
! this time the galleries were filled to
overflowing, and a large number or
members of the house, including Speak
! er Reed, occupied the area back of the
senators.
The Nelson amendment was first pre
sented as follows:
That it Is the dut? of the government of
the United States, under existing laws, to

silver money, so that the dollar of th<» one

be equal ln value to the dollar of the other
