THE ST. PAUL GLOBE
about town suffered to a considerable
extent yesterday morning. The storm
had one effect on business. So soon as
it let up yesterday afternoon, in spite
of the bad condition of the streets and
the partial suspension of tlie car serv
ice, there was a revival in business ln
nearly all lines— except possibly the
feather trade.
HELPED TRADE ALONG.
The dry goods stores and the cloth
ing houses felt it at once. And tho
c.a.l man was not feeling badly, thank
you. He wore out a few telephones
taking orders yesterday morning, but
he was even long before night. It
needed the weather appropriate to the
season to create a demand for seasona
ble goods, and if there was some in
convenience there was no actual and
general loss. By today, when th*
thermometer should be below the zero
mark, there should be good reports
from all lines of business.
NOT MUCH SUFFERING.
The suffering that was entailed by
the storm was not great and the ap
peals to the board of control tor relief
from suffering caused direc.ly by the
Btorm were very few, comparatively.
The most notable and obvious result
of the disturbance of the weather con
ditions was the discomfort that camo
to peopie who had forgotten that
naturally this is a vigorous winter
climate and who had not prepared for
winter.
We;i! her Observer Lyons looked over
| his instruments yesterday, after it was
. all over, and casually tossed off a few
remarks about this storm and some
! other storms that he has heard of. He
■ said:

twenty-four to thirty n.i'.e.. _n hour.
This .torn, originated in the .South, n-ar the

There have been some memorable storms
in past years. Perhaps the most severe was
that of November. l.vl. The snow began

were constantly bring blockaded on

morning the entire system was com- :
pletely tied up. The blockade was not
gei eral for long, however, as cars on
the interurban line pushed through the '
drifts shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday
morning and by noon through iters
were running, somewhat irregularly,
between the two cities. Next the com
pany got cars through on the Grand
avenue line, but the wear and tear on
the motors forced the abandonment on
this lin© until late in the day, when the

The first line to be disabled by the
storm was the Como Interurban. At
1 o'clock Monday afternoon several
cars were stalled near the workhouse,
remaining in the blockade all night.
A number of passengers from both St.

Planning- His Committee. How
the < lialrmanshlpN of a \nnib.r
of Thei.i Are Going ilfinneraU
of the II.Mi-e May Get Together
Some Time in December.
Senator Knute Nelson and Congress
man Joel P. Heatwoie, he of the nand- '
B"me stag, presence from the Third !
district, have formed an alliance. It
Is, perhaps, a defensive alliance, eacb
agreeing to combat the foes of the pair,
but those Republicans who had to c-.0l
their heels outside for five hours yes
terday, while X. ison and Joel held an
executive confab In a secluded spot at
the Merchants', are of the opinion that
the alliance is Offensive, as well as de
fer .he. lt will certainly be offensive
lo many of them.
Knute has been governor; Joel has
not. K-:ute wants something- else so
that he does not in any sense conflict
with Joel's ambition. Six years more
in the serate would do Nelson very
nicely. The Northfleld editor, how
ever, would take a chance on four years
if he could get two years in the chair
which he thinks John Lind will vacate
early in January, 1901.
Joel figures this way. All the Third
district has had from th. _tate lately is
Koerner, and as the treasurer has
been chosen for a third time, Mr. Heat
wh-ole proceeds to count him out of the
ticket next campaign. Now the gov
ernorship, Joel says, has not been in
the Third distriot for lo! these many
years. Clough represented the Fifth,
Nelson the Seventh, Merriam the
Fourth, McGill the Second, so Hubbard
was the last governor from the Third.
Consequently Mr. Heatwoie flgures
that his district, and therefore he,
ought to be in line for the nomination
in 1900.
Joel kept pretty well out of the re
cent scrap between the Eustis and
Clough factional fights, and while, as a
nominee on the ticket, it was necessary
for him to put in an occasional good j
word for William Henry Eustis. alon_;
wlth the rest of the ticket, he was not
sufficiently ardent in his espousal of
Eustis' cause to alienate from himself
th*^ support of the Clough-Nelson ad
herents. That was why Senator Nel
son dropped Heatwoie a line a day or
two a^o asking for a quiet consulta
tion at the Merchants' hotel, the meet
ing which was held yesterday.
Theie will be no dearth of candi
dates for the senate at the legislative
•: of 1901. lf the Democrats and
People's parties, or either of them, has
a majority of the legislature, John
Lind may be a candidate for the Amer
ican "house of lords." D. M. Clough,
too, has covetous eyes on a senatorial
toga which will then be thrown on the
bargain counter, and it was to circum
vent Clough, probably, as much as
anything else, that Nelson invited
Heatwoie to the conference yesterday.
The ties that have chained Clough and
Nelson together in a practical pool
have become Irksome to the Alexan
dria man, and he would fain shake off
his .Minneapolis running mate and can
ter Into the paddock next elect; n time
with Joel P. Heatwoie as his harness
mate.
Joel feels that he needs Nelson's as
sistance, because he knows that his
own public record has not been of suf
fir.ont brilliancy to challenge the ad
miration of even his own state. In
deed, he has not been spectacular, save
as he has been ushered into national
prominence by the luxuriance of his

musta-chlos. But as tfre Davis move
ment carried through a host of un.
worthy Republicans to the legislature
this fall, Joel figures that Nelson's
support would be a powerful factor in
the fight two years Ijenee. it is a
question whether the voters will want
either of them.
. . »
Lyndon A. Smith, of Montevideo, lieu
tenant governor-elect, was at the
Windsor hotel yesterday. The lieu
tenant governor is very busy just now
arranging for the committees of the
senate, with whose appointment he Is
entrusts .. There are a dozen candi
dates, generally speakiag, for every
place on every one of these commit
tees, and it is almost an endless job
to make out the lists with an even dis
tribution, let alone trying to satisfy
the desires of the- numerous senators..
While there are fifty committees only
forty-three senators are Republicans,
so that one or two of these will proba
bly get a pair of chairmanships, as lt
is not proposed to give the Democrats
and Populists any special opportunit>
to take a prominent part in the legis
lation of the coming session.
Senator McArthur, of Faribault
county, will no doubt be made the
chairman of the committee on banks
and banking. He ls a banker himself,
and Is known to his colleagues as ont.
of the most conscientious men on the
floor, although not distinguished as an
orator. He rarely makes a speech, but
when he does it carries weight.
The chairmanship of the education
committee has been given, practically,
to Senator Knatvold. of Albert Lea,
who has been connected with educa
tional matters at home for years.
Knatvold is a banker as well as Mc-
Arthur and will get a place on the
former committe. but his temper Is not
such as fits him for participation- in
such breezy debates as are likely to
figure in banking legislation this win
ter.
O. H. Myron, of Ada, will be chair
man of the commit-tc-e on drair.wg?. He
ha.-- been connected with the Rt-d RiTer
valley drainage co.-.:mi__.:o _ and is en
tirely familiar with the subject in hand.
Daniel Shell, of Worthington. will be
made chairman of the committee 0.1
Insurance, alth nigh E. i_. Smith, of
Minneapolis, is urged by some for that
place. Smith will probably be glyan
tlve chairmanship of the committees on
taxes and tax laws, hr-ld last year by
Senator <-i>e:\ who will continue
chairman of the committer on corpora
tions. Senator Potter, c_f Minmeipolis,
will be ctntinued ir. the chairmanship
of public health, da,iry and food prod
ucts, and E. J. Jones, of Stevens coun
ty, will be given the chairmanship
of the committee on grain and ware
house, unle«s it is decided to abandon
the former custom of making a Still
water man chai.man o: the pi Is n com
mitiee, in which event Mr. June., will
be glvtn that.
The cr.mmittee on logs and lumber is
a place that several asp.rants are after.
Senator Barker, of Isanti, and J. D.
Jcneo, of Todd, sp akt-r of the house
in 1897, are mentioned for this place.
The railroad cummitt-ee ls o.ie for
\\ hich there are a number of appli
cants. Senator Stockton wa. chairman
two years ago, and ttyere are four or
five others in the new senate who ware
on the old committee so Mr. Smith ha
an pjhundance of takmt to d;a.w fr_m in
thit^ particular direction. Samuel Swe.i
lngsen, of Austin, will be as usual ln
the chair at the session*. . f the com
i* ittee on legislative expenses, where
he has kt pt a piuni; g Knife shaip now
for several Bcsslons. Fred Snyder, cf
Minneapolis, an alumnus of the stale
university, will be mi.de chairman of
the university com mit.cc.
The labor committee is granted to
J. J. Ryder, of Cio-kftyir:, who is a
union man of ionur standing. Former
Gov. McGill will probably be given
the chairmanship of either finance or
public buldings, although the fact that
the finance committee is most impor
tant of all may repult In Its being al
lotted to some member of the old sen
ate, probably Stockton.
Senators Buckman and • McKusick.
of Little Falls and Taylor's Falls, were
at the Merchants' >este day. Although
Senator Buckman pa=sed up the state
Ikiuso ring In the campaign, he insists
that he la for Davis.
...
The minority members of the coming
legislature are having a very quiet
time of it so far as preparation for the
coming session is concerned. Very
few of th<- country m.m-bers have put
In an appearance in town since the
election, but there is « proposition
abroad to get a meeting in St. Paul of

SAILOR SHARKEY
SECURES THE SHEKELS
He Is Given the Fight in the Ninth Round on a Pal
pable Foul by One of Corbett's Seconds.
ALL BETS ARE DECLARED OFF
The Stout Sailor Boy Appeared to Have Corbett Going
AH the Way Through the Mill.
SECOND MVEY'S ACTION QUEER
The Crowd the Largest That Ever Attended a Boxing
Exhibition in the City of New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.— The Sharks y -Corbett fight, which was witnessed
by the largest and most representative gathering of sporting men that ever
congregated to see a ring contest, ended in a most disgraceful fiasco tonight,
at the Lenox Athletio club. Corbett had all the worst of the encounter when
one of his seconds, "Connie" McVey, jumped into the ring, appealing to the
referee, thus violating the rules, and the referee, "Honest John" Kelly, had
no alternative but to disqualify Corbett, and award the bout to Sharkey.
McVey's interference was absolutely inexcusable, and the referee, be
lieving that there was a "job" in McVey's action, took it upon himself to
declare all bets off. Before Kelly did so, however, many of those who had bet
on Corbett, and they were legion, appealed to the referee to take such ac
tion, while Sharkeyites shouted against such interference on Kelly's part,
and protested that he had no authority to declare the bets off. However,
the referee's word went with the majority of the spectators, and, conse-
quently, all money paid on wagers will be refunded. It was an unfortunate
and abrupt ending of what promised to be a most interesting fight. For
weeks both Corbett and Sharkey had train, d faithfully and carefully for the
contest, and when they stripped tonight each of them showed In excellent
condition. Sharkey was very confident of success, and the manner in which
he acquitted himself ln the ring while the fight lasted showed very plainly
that his confidence was founded on good grounds. Those who believed that
Sharkey could not fight fairly changed their opinion after the bout had gone
one round. On the other hand Corbett hit the sailor In the body rather low,
and Sharkey protested. Sharkey's quickness and aggressiveness were aston
ishing from the very beginning, and from the first it was evident that he had
Corbett safely. In the second round there were wild yells from the admirers
of the Irishman, when he floored Corbett with a right swing on the head,
preceded by a powerful blow on the body.
Sharkey's rushes were successful Invariably, end Jim's quickness and leg
work were tested to their utmost in trying to evade the aggressive sailor
pugilist. That Sharkey has Improved wonderfully goes without saying,
arvd, on the other hand, that Corbett is not the Corbett of New Orleans ls
beyond question. At no time had the C*_lifornian the upper hand of his
younger and more sturdy rival. Sharkey is a fighter, and a clever one at
that, and his work tonight stamps him beyond all doubt as being second
only to Fitzsimmons.
From the second to the eighth round Sharkey held a decided advantage.
In the ninth round, which was so productive of disappointments and un
locked for Incidents, Corbett seemed to be stronger than at any time during
the fight, but it was evident that he was slowly but surely fading under
Sharkey's onslaughts. It w«_* 2 to 1 on Sharkey after the second round, and
had not McVey- acted as he did, there is very little doubt that Sharkey
would have won handily. Some of the most prominent bankers, brokers,
lawyers, doctors «nd business men ln this and other cities were present
during the mill, and not one of them could see any reason for interference
by McVey. The general belief is that McVey had some unexplained mo
tive, and some persons say that he jumped into the ring to prevent Corbett
from going under. When McVey first put his legs through the ropes the ref
eree evidently did not or would not look in that direction, but continued to
pay close attention to the fighters, who were mixing it up in the center of
the ring. Inspector McLaughlin caught hold of McVey to pull him out again,
but the latter was evidently anxious that Kelly should see him. In this he
was successful, but not until half the people in the house had yelled re
peatedly to Kelly to disqualify Corbett.
When the big Californian realized what had occurred he was furious
with passion, and rushed at McVey. Had he .c.ught the latter there is no tell
ing what Corbett would have done in his frenzy, but the police were on
hand and rushed between the men, thus avoiding fc. scene which would have
added to the disgraceful exhibition. !
Just what effect the untimely incident will have on the boxing game In
this vicinity in the future cannot now be gauged, but that it will injure
pugilism ln this city is beyond question.
A close estimate placed the attendance tonight et 9,000, and it waa learned
that the receipts exceeded Ho.OOfc

brought his right hand over with force
enough to make Jim wince. Jim hooked his
