Comptroller MeCardy sprang the charter on the conference committee relay afternoon and the members of that body proceeded to U]>set both comptroller and charter. The experi ence was rather new for the comp troller and he gave evidence that he did not like it. When the committee? met it was clear to everybody that Capt. MeCardy had something to spring and there was a rallying of the othei members. When the meeting 1 was called to order promptly at 4:30, the comptroller had his watch in his hand and all of the members were present with the ex ception ot Messrs. A rosin, Kirke and City Jvnerineer Rundlett, and. they put In an appearance before anything was done. Reports were submitted by all the heads of departments, and as they were routine they were accepted with out remark. Then the comptroller sprang his little surprise. He moved that the street force be discharged on Saturday of this week. He explained the motion: "We have no money to pay the men who are working on the streets," said Ca.pt. MeCardy. "This condition arises from the new system of collecting taxes an the semi-annual plan. There is now available for the street fund 16,700. Of this sum* about $5,500 will be payable to the men now working on Saturday. There Is no sense in keeping the men at work when there Is no money to pay them, and the street force will have to go, until we have collected the money that will be payable before the first of the coming month. We have no money for other funds until we get some collections from the county treasurer, and an ar rangement has be«n made to let the members of the board of public works and the office force of the building In spector's department go without their salaries for the current month. I offer it as a motion that the department controlling the street force be instruct rw3 \\-\- this H ■...•! tn lat a1 ] mfn pv> nPXf Saturday." Their was .silence for Three minutes after the comptroller had delivered him.-. If. and then three or four mem ber? of the committee started to pro • "I don't think we have any power to tHke any such action," said Mr. San born. "The power is in the charter," said Capt. McCardy. "Go and get me a charter, Mc.Rae." Hp found the place in the charter and read from section 25, 89, to the effect that if at any time the fund of a department should be depleted the conference committee could direct the curtailment of ex penses in that department. "But T don't understand that there is anything- but a temporary depletion of this fund," said Mr. Sanborn. "You admit that there will be funds as soon a? we get a settlement with the treas urer. "Why not let the men continue at work a;r:d have it understood with them that there will be no money to pay for a couple of weeks?" City Engineer Rundlett had no doubt that the street force would be well enough F&tisfled to postpone a pay day In preference to having no work. In reply to an interrogation he added that he did not think it would be safe or d< Firable to allow the streets to go without being cleaned for even a single day. Mr. Wheelock remarked that his Ideas of the proprieties of language would force him to eschew the society of his fellow men in case the down town streets were permitted to go without cleaning. Mayor Kiefer protected that aside fiom the street cleaning, which was always essential, it would not do to discharge the street force, as under such an order the repair men would havp to go too. and that might be very costly to the city. While the rest of them were rallying against him Capt.

FREEDOM FOR A FEW STATE BOARD OF PARDONS GRANTS A NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS MORE, HOWEVER, REFUSED John St. Anbln, the St. Paul Boy, to Be Released on Certain Con ditions to Be Laid Down by the Attorney General— —J. B. Turrlll, Who Has Been on Parole, Is Un conditionally Released. Upon the recommendation of County Attorney Anderson, the state board of pardons yesterday granted a condition al pardon to John St. Aubln, of Ram sey county. St. Aubln was Implicated with a gang of burglars, who operated extensively throughout the city In 1897, and was sentenced to three years In state prison March 22, 1897. Mrs. Tay lor, whose house he burglarized, ap peared In his behalf, as well as J. A. St. Aubin, his father, and the county attorney. Mrs. Taylor stated that when the burglary was committed one of St. Aubtn's accomplices seized her daughter by the throat and was about to strangle her, when young St. Aubin interfered and released the girl. At torney General Childs was delegated to Impose certain conditions on St. Aubin's pardon. The board also extended ex ecutive clemency in the case of J. E. Turrlll, of Redwood county, sent up for embezzlement two years ago. He has been on parole for several months. The trial judge and county attorney both favored his . application, and the board granted him an unconditional pardon. Daniel Mechen, of Crow W T ing, was also given a pardon. He was convicted of forgery in the second degree and sentenced for six years. P. H. Beck, of Sibley county, appear ed before the board in behalf of James Fahey. The applicant was convicted Dec. 6, 1896. of manslaughter in the sec ond degree and sentenced to Stillwater for ten years. He killed Louis Basil at a county picnic. Both the judge and county attorney recommended his par don. Mr. Beck stated that Fahey was a very inoffensive person, and that he killed a very -bad man under strong provocation. The beard commuted his sentence to four years. George Whiting Jr., of Fillmore coun ty, had his two year and five months' sentence commuted to twenty-two months. Whiting assaulted an officer while trying to arrest him. The board turned down Dr. J. F. Johnson's application for a pardon with but little consideration. Johnson was sent up for committing abortion on Clara Bergh. The board granted quite a hearing to the parties interested In the case of Mary A. Horrigan, of Minneapolis, who was sentenced to one year at Stillwater for appropriating the funds of the Woman's Auxiliary of the G. A. R. S. G. Baldwin, a G. A. R. man, ap peared and protested against the ap plication being granted, on the grounds that the funds had been intentionally appropriated. T. A. Geherty appeared in behalf of the petitioner. He assert ed that Mrs. Horrigan had no inten tion of stealing the money, but it went to pay her bills, thinking that she could repay it. When she was called upon to account she did not have a penny. The board refused to take any action. Lillie Green's application was before the board again yesterday. Miss Ackers, the matron at the county jail, appeared in her behalf. The board re fused to extend executive clemency in this case, as well as that of Herman Smith, also of this county. Both cases had been before the board several times before.

HIM WARREN TIPPED THE STORY Have Been Trying to Get Another Man of the Same Name to> Go on tlio Ticket, So That He Might Catch a Few Vote* Blseiow Offer* a Gratuitous Insult to Every Democrat In St. Paul. There is a rumor out to the effect that a German-American independent candidate for sheriff will be • sprung within a day or two. It is known positively that the matter was under consideration last week to bring out a man named Wagner and put him on the ticket as an independent with a view to causing a loss to Sheriff Wage ner by the confusion of names. It was said, Saturday night, that the Wag ner had been found and on the strength of that there were a few bets made by friends of George Irish. So strong was the tip .that went out that George War ren, who is supposed to know some thing about the conditions in the Fifth ward, was out looking for a bet and making an offer that proved him to be in the secret of the job that had been put up against Sheriff Wagener. War ren met Col. Pottgieser Saturday, and talked politics with him. He told the former senator that he was sure that Wagener would not carry the Fifth ward. In 1896 the present sheriff car ried that ward by 601 votes. Pottgieser got interested when Warren offered to bet that John Wagener would not car ry the ward at all, and offered to make a little bet that he wohM. The bet— $5 a side — was made, Pottgieser taking the Wagener end of it. Now there Ls a, suggestion that it was made in the assurance that there would be a couple of John Wageners in the field. The iratter is being arranged very quietly, but a close friend of George Irish said yesterday afternoon that a deal was on that would beat the present Eheriff to a certainty. The menace to Sheriff Wagener's chances in running such an independent candidate is reduced to practically nothing at all by reason of the coup being anticipated. At the reception given by the candi dates at C. S. P. S. hall last Wednesday evening to the precinct committeemen and delegates to the county convention, Horace E. Bigelow, candidate for coun ty attorney on the Republican ticket, said, among other things, that he was a Republican and was proud of it; that he couldn't be anything else; that he would no more vote for a Democrat for office, no matter how competent and re spectable he might be otherwise, than he would for a yellow dog. These re marks did not seem to take very well with his audience, as some were Demo crats. Peter Thauwald and other can didates in the Fifth ward assert that Bigelow must be muzzled, as they are depending on Democratic votes for election. The Bohemians of the Fifth ward say that they will resent, at the polls, the assertion that they are controlled polit ically by John F. Selb and Charles 11. Parker. The Bohemians are too intel ligent to be controlled by juvenile po'i ticians like Selb and Parker, or any body else. * • • J. Watson's Bm'th's campaign for the senate is being made with such a show of strength, such evidence of a desperate effort to land the mortgage man that there is a probability of an uprising in the ward before election day. The machinery that has been set at work in behalf of Smith is as pon derous as thotuh it were the United •States senate that was the goal of his ambition, rather than a seat in the state legislature. The forces that have been set at work are not those ordinarily Invoked in the district in which he is running. In the Ninth ward a new set of men has been brought out and the eld leaders turn ed down, the proposition bding that it is not safe to trust the old time hus tlers with such weighty matters as ore involved in this campaign. In the Third the usual campaign weapons are being used, and such gatherings of the professional politicians of the Repub lican kind are already being held as might be expected at the close of a long campaign. The proof of the sort of campaign that Mr. Smith would probably run was given In the angel food and cham pagne feast that was given at his house to a few of the swell members of his party a week ago. Sam Lowenste-in i and other members of the submerged end of the party were shut out from the blowout, but Sam was fixed Sun day by being taken into camp at the same time that Louis Pavian and some j other eminent politicians were taken. j There is every indication on the sur- I face that there is going to be a po litical insurrection in Smith's senatorial district. * * * Louis Pavian is again professing to have delivered the Hebrew vote of the city. He is early in the ring and or ganized a meeting Sunday at Central hall, to which he invited Congressman Stevens and J. W. Smtih. They thought it was going to be a good thing, and they hurried through their devotions to be in with it. When they arrived they found nine Hebrew voters present in addition to Pavian and Sam Lowen stein. Stevens was sore enough to throw the affair over and get out; Smith made a speech. But Mr. Pavian has lost caste with Stevens. Pavian promised to deliver the Hebrew vote to Kiefer last spring, and after election he was a candidate for license inspec tor ami several other offices. Kiefer told him he didn't think he controlled any vote but his own and turned him down. * • • The gerrymander that makes it ne cessary for the candidates for the house to run in both the First and Second wards is making a great deal of trou ble for the Republicans. Senator Shee han engineered the gerrymander in or der that both of the Republican candi dates could be selected from one ward if that was desirable, and both of them would have been named from one ward at the late convention !f it had been found practicable. As It was, Sheehan had to take advantage of the needs of Dunn in order to pull a nomination out for himself. Now it transpires that William Johnson is pretty sure to beat out both of hLs competitors In tho First, and they are beginning to re gret the gerrymander. In some other districts the gerrymander is not effec tual in spite of the manner in which the city was cut up. On last spring's vote T. F. Martin has practically 400 majority to go on, taking the spring campaign for a base of reckoning, and the district south of the tracks in the Eighth and Ninth wards ia 300 Demo cratic. There is a disposition both amona the Democrats and Republicans to postpone the actual commencement of hostilities until the last moment. A sihort campaign is demanded by all of the county candidates, and that Is what it will be. There will be some meetings this tveek, but they will be generally of clubs and for the pur pose of organisation. •• • • All of the candidates on both tickets are making a stir individually, and the campaign card la In the air every where. William Platte, the Democratic candidate for auditor, is giving Billy Johnson all sorts of food for thought already. Mr. Platte is impressed with the idea that it is just ac well to do a thing thoroughly, if it i s to be done at all, ami he is at work. Billy John son is fast himself, but he does his campaigning with hig face In Repub- lican headquarters, largely, while Platte is visiting in the suburbs. The Third ward Republican*, who are trying to "booet" the proprietor of the Rising Sun lodging house into the leg islature, played a mean trick on those they managed to correll at a meeting at Vega hall, 218 East Seventh street, la«t evenine. Holm was made the catapaw of the occasion, doubtless act ing upon the advice of his managers. All or the Republican candidates were present, and after a lost of speeches the word was passed around that there was barrels of stuff to drink out in the rear room. The boys adjourned to the back room and proceeded to get out side the contents of half a dozen cases of beer, 'but there was a noticable ab soence of candidates in the crowd. None of the aspiianta for office, who had a few minutes 'before called the boys "my friends" were now clinking glasses with them. This, as a matter of fact, was all right until the reason for the absence of the "silk stockings" was as certained. Then there was an awful rear. Andrew Holm had tipped the candi dates that something better than beer was in store for them, and after the meeting they all left hurriedly and, doubling through Smith park, came to gether at the Sunrise lodging house. Here, instead of beer, they were re freshed with wine and mixed drinks galore, the special offering of the leg islative aspirant from the Third ward. Some one carried the news back to the beer drinking party, which immediately broke up in disorder. Hon. A. G. Foster, of Taccma, Wash., a candidate for the United States sen ate on the Republican ticket, was in the city yesterday. He spent the day sightseeing and called at local Repub lican headquarters. * • ♦ There will be a Democratic meeting this evening at Jaroz hall, Thomae and Gaultier streets. All candidates are expected to attend. The regular meeting of the City Pro hibition club and county committee was held at the club headquarters in the Union block last night. Full re ports from the various working com mittees were received and the ward clubs reported public meetings for the ensuing week as follows: Oct. 11, First ward, 949 Forest street; Oct. 11, Ninth ward, 851 Rice street; Oct. 18, Sixth ward, King Street M. E. church; Oct. 14. Eighth ward, 709 Carroll street; Oct. 18, Tenth ward, Hamline town hall. FATHER MATHEW'S NIGHT. Anniversary of His Birth Cele- brated at Cretin Hall. Archbishop Ireland disappointed a large au dience at Cretin hall last evening in failing to appear to deliver an address on Father Mathew, the Irish temperance agitator. It was the annual celebration In honor of the famous temperance worker, and the archbish op was scheduled for a speech, but the au dience waited in vain for him, and the ex ercises wore held without him. A. W. Cutridge presided, and with him on the platform were the Rev. Fathers Lnwler and Dolan and a number of representatives of tha temperance organizations in this city. Mr. Cutridge delivered a short speech and introduced F. Lee Chauvan. of St. Louis, who gave his dramatic imitations of John Gough, with incidents in the life of the noted orator and a few experiences of his own. The bal ance of the programme was as follows: Piano Solo — "Gavotte" Gustavus Johnson MiS3 Anna McQuillan-. Vocal Solo — Selected Miss Helen Qibbs Baritone Solo "The Palais" Faure John F. Gehan. Violin Solo— Cavatina Raff J. J. Lenlhan. "A Review of John B. Gough's Life" — Francis Lee ChauvaJi Vocal solo, with violin obligato — "In All Eternity" Maschironi ■Miss Edna Rice. A Temperance Reading Miss Mary Manion Mr. Cutridge expressed r?gret at the absense of Archbishop Ireland, and said that he would not undertake to supply the vacancy with a speech on Father Mathew. Father Maihew was a greater workr-r in th? tempe-anee cause, though not an orator, and he achieved greater results in that line than any other Individual in the world. He hoped every person in the hall would curry home the lesson tau/lu in the life of Father Mathew and shun intem perance. The audience was then dismissed. WHY MINNESOTA GREW. Gen. L.c Dao Discusses Cauftes of Immigration to the State. The Minnesota State Historical society held its regular moath'.y mcc.ing last eveni.ig in the society rooms in the state house, and listened to a raper by Gen. W. G. Le Due, of Hastings, Minn., upon "Influ?nces That Led Immigration to Minnesota Terii;ory." The society heard reports trcm Us officers, which gave the total number cf pamphl ts^ books, maps and manuscripts received dur ing the mouth of September, at 1,0u9. At the suggestion of Maj. Espy a vote of thanks was given George Griggs for his fcift to the society of a m^dailHon, inscribed with the bust of Judge C. E. Flandrau, copied frcm the bronze figure on the monument at New Ulm. Louis De Lestry was elected a member of the society. Gen. Le Due recited many phasing inci dents of pioneer life in the West. It was largely through the medium of an exhibit made at the New York crystal palacf, in 1:53, by the territory of Minutsoia, that first di rected the tide of Immigration \ve_tward to the region of the lakes.
