"The public schools of Minneapolis are
not wasting water, nor are they using one
gallon more per day than is absolutely
necessary to preserve sanitary condi
tions." Such was the statement made yes
terday by William Duncan, superintend
ent of buildings for the school board
of tlie city of Minneapolis.
The report of Register F. L. Moody and
Supervisor J. EL McConnell, submitted to
the waterworks committee of the city
council last week, attributes a waste of
I,Ot*O,UOO gallons a day to the public schools.
When interviewed upon the subject, Su
perintendent Duncan said:
"1 have been personally to a great many
of the school buildings since the visit of
the investigating committee, and the jan
itors in all say that no objections were
made at the time, and that the visitors
expressed themselves well pleased and
satisfied with the conditions. If there is
a waste, it is a sanitary waste. I know
there are no leaks in the buildings, as
all supply pipes are shut off from the
main after school hours each day."
Mr. Duncan thought schools were get
ting along with as little water as pos
sible. The waste in schools, as reported
by the committee, would average 20,000
gallons a day to each school. "The schools
do not use this much water for all pur
poses," said Mr. Duncan, "and yet the
committee designates that amount as the
waste. In all but a few instances, the
achool supply Is limited to a three-quarter
Inch supply pipe."
It is possible that the city council may
take some action soon to require the state
unlveslty to pay for the water used. Ald
erman Adams and ex-Alderman C. P.
Lovell called at the waterworks office
yesterday and had some conversation
with Register Moody on the subject. Mr.
Moody said that St. Paul charges the
state capitol for water, and that Roches
ter does the same In the case of the in
sane ho=pital, and he saw no reason why
»tate Institutions should be exemptd from
city water rates.

CLOSE CAME QUICKLY
PROSECUTION IN THE CASE
AGAINST MR. WAY HAS CLOSED
ITS PRESENTATION
DEFENSE WILL BEGIN TODAY
Ma if DriicmlH for Conviction Upon
the Testimony of Its Expert, Mey_
er ('ultlMinltb His Interpreta
tion of Meaning: of Entries In tbe
Hooks of tbe Bank May Decide
the Fate of the Ex-Senator.
PHILADELPHIA, April 19.—Unex
pectedly to almost every person inter
ested, the prosecution in the trial of ex
-I'nlted States Senator Quay, for con
spiracy, closed its case today, after nine
days full of argument, clashes of coun
sel and testimony largely of an expert
nature. The general expression of opin
ion has been that the trial would drag
through many more days, and when Dis
trict Attorney Rothermel announced that
he had concluded, there were expressions
of surprise from all parts of the court
room. The end came at 2 o'clock, just
one hour before the usual hour of ad
journment, and after a brief consulta
tion among counsel for the defense and
Judge Biddle, the latter adjourned court
until tomorrow, in order that Mr. Quay's
lawyers might have time to consider
what steps they shall take with respect
to the presentation of their side. It was
stated that the question of entering de
murrers to the prosecution's evidence or
proceeding with the taking of testimony
■will be decided by the defense's counsel
tonight.
From the evidence already presented it
is apparently evident that the common
wealth depends largely for conviction
upon the testimony if its expert, Meyer
Goldsmith, as to his interpretation of
the accounts in the "red book" and
other books of the bank, and his opinion
of the books, papers, letters, telegrams
and checks offered ln evidence. As to
what extent the testimony of the de
fense expert, should he be called, may
offset Mr. Goldsmith's testimony, re
mains to be seen. The contention of the
defense in argument and cross-examin
ation has been that the calculations of
Mr. Goldsmith are not borne out by the
books, but, on the other hand, show
that Mr. Quay did not use state money
nor receive interest on state deposits,
and that whatever loans ne received were
made ln the customary manner, and
backed by sufficient collateral.
WEDNESDAY'S DEVELOPMENTS.
Today's proceedings were devoid of
sensational features. The dry routine of
figures and involved explanations of ac
counts took up most of the time. Mr.
Goldsmith's cross-examination was con
cluded, tnd redirect examination was be
gun by Mr. Rothermel. The points
brought out by him were that the cash
account and Interest account of the
bank were deficient by the omission of
certain sums received as interest; that
it was customary to designate all loans
by Initials instead of names. Upon the
question of Mr. Quay's interest ln the
deposit account for May, 1896. to October,
1897, Mr. Goldsmith said:
"In 1896, on June 23, the balance was
$2.56; on Nov. 24, $2,777.66; on Nov. 28,
again $2.56; in 1897, on Jan. 7, 60 cents;
on Oct. 26, $10,000.50; and on Oct, 27, 50
cents, at which it remained till the end
of the month. These are all the varia
tions from Aprli 30, 1896, to Oct. 31, 1897."
Director of the Mint Henry K. Boyer
was on the stand, and after testifying
to paying interest in October, 1897, on a
call loan, asked permission to make a
statement ln reply to the district attor
ney's allegations, in the course of testi
mony, that he received interest on state
money while state treasurer, from May,
1889, to May, 1891. His request was not
allowed, but the court stated that all
records of replies to this question were
stricken out under the court's ruling.

STILL A MYSTERY.
Fate of Yorktown Men Who Were
Ambushed by Filipinos.
MANILA, April 19.— Admiral Dewey has
been notified of the strange disappear
ance of J. C. Gilmore and fourteen mem
bers of the crew of the United States gun
boat Yorktown. On Saturday last the
Yorktown anchored off Baler, on the east
coast of the island of Luzon, and about
200 miles from here, where there was a
Spanish garrison of about fifty men,
which had been defending itself against
several hundred Filipinos, for months
past. Lieut. Gilmore, Ensign W. H.
Standley, and a boat's crew were sent up
the river from Balar bay to communicate
with the Spaniards, the town of Baler be
ing situated some distance Inland. In
sign Standley, who landed at the mouth
of the river, reports that he heard three
volleys, a bugle call and cheers from up
the river, but that the automatic gun,
which was part of the equipment of the
boat was not heard firing. Standley, later,
paddled to the Yorktown, in a canoe. A
search was made for the Yorktown's boat
and her crew, but no trace of them was
found, and the Yorktown sailed for Iloilo,
from which place her commander cabled
to Admiral Dewey his theory that the
Filipinos had captured or sunk the boat,
or that the Spaniards had rescured the
American party.
A scouting party of American troops to
day found a rebel skirmish line more than
a mile long east of Malolos. A sharp
fusllade followed, but no losses were sus
tained.

MINNESOTANS LOYAL.
Willing- to FlKbt « mil Replaced by
Regular Troops.
LONDON, April 19.— John Barrett, for
merly United States minister to Slam,
who has just arrived from Manila, em
phatically declares that the gloomy fore
bodings expressed In some quarters rela
tive to the Philippines are not justified
by the facts.
"The United State** naval and military
authorities," he says, "have done every
thing possible in the difficult and excep
tional circumstances, and the united sup
port of all parties in the United States
at the present juncture will enable them
to bring matters in the Philippines to a
quick and lasting settlement, honorable
to the motherland. Should the Filipinos,
however, who are kept well informed, ac
quire the idea that a prolongation of hos
tilities would affect politics in the United
States advantageously to them, the war
will be more prolonged.
With regard to the statements that the
Minnesota volunteers and others wished
to return', to the United States, Mr. Bar
rett said he had talked with the officers
of all regiments, and with many of the
men, and that while they would welcome
a return to the United States as soon as
their places could be effectively filled by
regulars, there was no such feeling as one
of insubordination, despondency or dis
content. On the contrary, all were actu
ated, he asserted, by intense patriotism,
and not a man wished to leave the Phil
ippines until he had seen the campaign
through, or could leave the work to regu
lar troops.
In the opinion ol Mr. Barrett the Fili
pino, as soon as he has had time to di
gest the recent successes of Gen. Otis
and Gen. Lawton and to become con
vinced of American ' superiority, will set
tle down to a life of peaceful and pro
gressive citizenship.

COL. BRYAN GUEST OF HONOR AT

WELL RECEIVED BY GUESTS
Talked to Seventeen Hundred Peo
ple on the Issnes of the Day—
'Was Accorded Close Attention
and Liberal Applause —r- Many
Other Speakers Gave Brief Talks
"Why Hovrells Did Not Attend.
NEW YORK, April 19.— The second of
the "$1 Bryan dinners," that under the
auspices of the workingmen, was held at
the Grand Central Palace tonight. It
was not as largely attended as the one
given by the Chicago platform Democrats
ln the same place on the preceding Sat
urday night, about 1,600 men and women'
being present. The striking difference
between these dinners was the seating
of the guests of honor, tonight, on the
platform, where they were plainly visi
ble to everybody in the hall. Back of
the speakers, painted on a large canvass,
was the following:
"A system of political economy will yet
dawn, which will perform as well as
promise; which will rain the riches of
nature into the laps of the starving
poor."
Col. W. J. Bryan entered the hall
shortly after 7 o'clock. He was received
with great applause.
There were few persons in evening dress
and men ln well-worn Bults of various
styles were numerous. The women, who
were about equal ln number to the men,
sat at the tables on the main floor. The
toasts and speakers were as follows:
"Municipal ownership of franchises,"
Mayor S. M. Jones.
"What a just economic system would
do for women," Charlotte Perkins Stet
son.
"The forces which beset movements in
the interest of the people," Rev. Edward
McGlynn.
"Practical adjutsment of social prob
lems," N. O. Nelson.
"The government derives Its powers
from the consent of the governed," W. T.
Emmett.
"Thomas Jefferson," William Jennings
Bryan.
The menu was of the simplest.
John Brisbin Walker called the assem
blage to order. Dr. McGlynn saying
grace.
Judge William Gaynor, of Brooklyn,
and Bolton Hal), took their seats at the
guests of honor table, when the dinner
was half over. Col. Bryan rose and
bowed to both; they returned his greet
ing in the same way. There was much
cheering at that point.
Another incident was when Mayor
Jones discovered Charlotte Perkins Stet
son in one of the boxes, and escorted her
to the guests' table. Col. Bryan changed
seats to the other side of Chairman
Walker, who gave his seat to Mrs.
Stetson. Other seats on the floor were
also occupied as the last courses were
served, there being 1,750 guests present
then.
HEROES OF LEXINGTON.
In the course of the dinner Chairman
Walker rose and asked all to drink "to
those heroes who on April 24, 124 years
ago (battle of Lexington) gave up their
lives for that liberty, the danger to
which is the occasion for your gathering
here tonight." All rose and drank while
the band played "The Star Spangled
Banner."
An oil painting of Jefferson was placed
betwen the tables of guests of honor and
the platform, and Chairman Walker be
gan speaking. Mr. Walker introduced
Mayor Jones, of Toledo. Mr. Jones was
cheered.
Mayor Jones closed amid a great de
monstration. He was intensely dra
matic. Some one called for the cheers
for the mayor. They were given. Then
some one called for three cheers for the
people.
"Yes," shouted Maj. Jones, leaping to
his feet and waving his hands, "cheer
not for me. Cheer for the people."
This brought out great applause.
Mr. Charlotte Perkins Stetson spoke
next.
Dr. McGlynn was the next speaker.
He was given an enthusiastic welcome.
N. O. Nelson, of St. Louis, spoke next
and was followed by William Temple
Emmett. Mr. Emmett closed with a ref
erence to Col. Bryan. It created a tre
mendous amount of enthusiasm, and then
followed another demonstration, similar
to that given to Mr. Bryan Saturday. It
continued for some moments and some
one shouted: God bless you, Billy boy,"
whereat the crowd again got up and
yelled and cheered for minutes.
MR. BRYAN'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Bryan had to raise his hands many
times before his admirers would give way
and they did so only when tired out.
The women particularly were enthusias
tic in their greetings. Mr. Bryan said
the declaration of independence con
denses into a few sentences the principles
which must ever underlie a form of gov
ernment like ours.
"My attention was called yesterday to
the language used by Abraham Lincoln,
ln the eulogy of the declaration of inde
pendence. This is an opinion of the
present gathering, he wanted to contri
bute to the spirit of the occasion by
quoting what the great Republican said
of the work of the greatest Democrat."
The audience listened attentively while j
Mr. Bryan read from a volume of Lin
coln's speeches. When the speaker said
what both Jefferson and Lincoln said
when the declaration of independence
was departed from he was greeted with
applause.
"In times people complain because bus
iness is delayed on account of discussion
of public questions. Let us establish a
monarchy and then there will be no dis
turbance of business. We can simply
serve and be happy. But history has
shown that where one or a few think for
all the people and act for all the people
they also enjoy for the people, and if we
enjoy the rights of liberty and pursuit
of happiness, our life must be a con
stant warfare against wrong. Jefferson
never uttered a truer saying than when
he declared that confidence is the parent
of depotism, and that free government
exists in jeolously, and not in confidence.
If you elect a public servant and go to
sleep, then danger ls that he may be
come more faithful of his own interests
than yours."
Mr. Bryan continued:
"Jefferson was a man of ideas. We are
applying his ideas today to the questions
which arise. They were not all applied
ln his day. They have not all been ap
plied since his day. Sometimes people

escort him to one of the reception rooms.

I am acquainted with the case of the wife of a nouse painter in

months. She was in a listless state, and suffered terribly with nausea.
It so happened that a friend had given some Ripans Tabules to this
lady's sister who had suffered from indigestion, and as they did her so
much good she thought she would try them on Mrs. Hill, feeling sure
that if they did her no good they would at least do no harm. Tlie
patient was then in the hands of her physician, but soon she was so
much better that her neighbors noticed the change and asked about
it. She then said that she had changed her doctor, and laughingly
added, my new doctor is colored-chocolate color. It seems that & as
soon as she began to take the Tabules, she began to mend. The
nausea disappeared and she began to feei that the future still had
