LESS THAN HALF THERE
IMTBRBST IS TUB CHARTER COM
MISSION IS FLAGGING.
The attendance and interest In the
preparation of a new charter appears to
be declining:, at least so far as the mem
ben of the commission are concerned.
Messrs. Zimmerman, Smilh, McNair, Tay
lor and Albrecht were the only ones at
tending the session last evening. There
whs some discussion as to v/heiher It
would not be best lo have The charter
voted upon at a special rather than tha
city election. The only objection to hav
ing a special election is the expense at
tendant. It was stated last evening ihat
about $15,000, at th,> outside, would be tha
cost of a Bpetcal election, and that the
new charier would certainly be worn th.s
expenditure of this sum.
Hume of the commission were of the
opinion that a sufficient number of public
spirited citizens could be secured to act
as judges and clerks at a special elec
tion without making charge for their
services.
The question as to whether the charter
will be submitted at the coming city elec
tion will be taken up at the first meeting
of th« commission at which there is a
majority of the members present. The
secretary was directed to notify mem
bers having in charge the drafting of
chapters that the commission was ready
to act upon the drafts at the next meet
ing.
Discussion on the chapter relating to
the powers and duties of the council way
resumed last evening and the remaining
s."lions adopted. The section providing
for the 5 per cent gross earnings tax ?;s
still In the hands of Messrs. Tlghe and
Aibrecht. Other sections adopted last
evening provide for the sprinkling, clean
ing, repairing, p-iving and repaying of
portions of the streets cccupl3d by street
railway companies, and the council is
given power to impose "conditions addi
tional to those prescribed by other sec
tions, so that the whole or any part of
the property used shall, upon the expira
tion of any franchise or privilege, become
the property of the city. Thp section
providing for the purchase and main
taining of poles, wires, conduits and
buildings for a municipal lighting plant
were adopted, and. if considered advisa
ble, the council Is to let to contractors
poles, wires and conduits for the purpose
of lighting any or all parts of the c'.ty.
The expense of the lighting apparatus ia
to be paid from thf> lighting fund. The
board of public works is to have the sol*
power to locate and relocate lamps for
street lighting. The question of bill board \
is left to the jurisdiction of the city
council.
At the session tomorrow night the
chapter on the board of public works will
be taken up.

CITY U\ OWN PLANT
PLAN FOR MUNICIPAL LIGHTING OP
BTRBETS DIS( I SiSKI) UY CON
FERENCE tOMMITTEB
SPECIAL REPORT ADOPTED
Ulatmed That $00,000 Can Be Saved
to the City by liiMtulliuK a
New Illuminating
Service.
At the meeting of the conference com
mittee yesterday the special committee
appointed to consider the advisability and
feasibility of establishing a municipal
electric lighting plant submitted a report.
The report was adopted, and will be re
ferred to tho council to consider the ad
visability of installing 1 the plant other
than on paper. It was admitted by sev
eral of tha officials that the report would>
make good campaign material, if nothing
else. President Dix, of the assembly,
stated that the plan was to put $125,000
In the tax budget for 1901, nnd in tha
meantime have the engineer draw detail
ed plans of the plant. As it would take
a year to build the station and install
the apparatus, work might be commence.l
or the plan of doing the work discussed
by the council. The report signed by City
Comptroller McCardy, City Engine r
Claussen, Electrical Inspector Varnum
and President Dlx is a lengthy and de
tailed one, and advises that th« 3 plant ha
built, and outlines a plan by which (60,060
yearly can be saved in the present wgurea
paid for street ilghting.
The report gives the cost of street light
ing for ISOO as 1150.6K9.47, of which $;it>,725
is for arc lights, $60,421 for gas lamps,
$45,735.72 for gasoline lamps, $1,533 interest
on live gas pasts and $2,251.70 for removal
of gas, gasoline and electric lights. Th.*
proposed plant is to have a capacity of
1,350 arc aT>d 700 incandescent lamp 3. The
cost of the plant Is given at $260,090, di
vided as follows: Pole lines and con
duit system equipped complete, $146,4fi0;
electrical station equipment, $36,04?.; steam
plant, $55,499; building and smoke stacks,
$22,000. Real estate is not included in the
estimate, it being recommended that if a
location cannot be found on the river
bank at the foot of St. Peter street, the
plant can be located on the West side
levee. The operating expenses are esti
mated at §90,180, divided as follows: Coal,
oil, waste, carbons, repairs and general
supplies. $37,100; wages, $27,080; interest,
'iVz per cent on cost, $9,100; insurance,
$1,300; depreciation, 6 per cent on $260,000,
$15,600.
This total, deducted from the cost at
present lighting, makes a saving of $Co,~>oo
per year.
The total cost per lamp, per year, In
Detroit was given as $46.46, and in Alle
gheny as $47.70, on which basis it was
estimated that the cost per lamp in St.
Paul would be $4G. In figuring deprecia
tion on plant 6 per cent was allowed on
total cost, or $15,600 per year. This, the
report stated, included items amounting
to $75,000 on which there would be no
depreciation, leaving $185,000 as the correct
figure on which to figure depreciation.
The entire electrical and steam equip
ment at the station, the report stated,
could be given away at the end of six
years and a new equipment put in with
the amount charged to depreciation dur
ing the six years. The plant. It was
stated, would give about three times as
much candle power as now furnished to
the city. The Edison company in New
York, the report said, charged large con
sumers six cents per kilowatt hour.
Including incandescent lamps, carbons
and the trimming of arc lamps. Apply
ing this rate to what is furnished in St.
Paul the cost would be $102,000, while the
city is paying $150,000 per year. A ma
terial saving, it was claimed, could be
effected if the city owned its own plant
by turning off the. arc lamps during
moonlight nights.
City Engineer Claussen explained after
the report hid been read that those ob
jecting to the city owning its plant
raised the point that the cost of fuel
was too large. This was, he said, not
true, as the figures from Detroit showed
that two-thirds of the cost of the plant
there was wages and the balance of the
expenses, Including fuel and supplies,
was the other third. At Allegheny but
$18,000 out of the $80,000 expended yearly
was for fuel.
LAMBERT WAS TOO LATE.
DID NOT GET TO CHICAGO FOR
SUNDAY'S MEETING.
Adjt. Gen. Lambert left Sunday night
for Washington Just too late to attend
a meeting of the committee of adjutant
generals ehusen to lobby in the Interest
of a $2,000.fHW annual appropriation by
congresa for ihe national guard, who
met at the Great Northern hotel Sunday
morning and resumed their journey to
Washington in the afternoon. They
were: Adjt. Gens. P. H. Barry, of Ne
braska; W. H. Whiteman, of New Mex
ico; Melvln 11. Byers, of Towa; J. C.
Overmyer, of Colorado, and E. S. Miller,
of North Dakota. The party will be
Joined en route by the adjutant generals
of the states through which they pass
and of adjacent states.
In all, the adjutant generals of thirty
eight states will gather in Washington
and use their influence with congress to
increase the annual appropriation of the
national guard from $400,000 to $2,000,000.
The war demonstrated that the national
guard would be more readily available
for national defenpe if it were of uniform
equipment and organization in the several
states. To accomplish such an object.
It is argued, means not only concerted
action among the states, but more In
terest in t"he national guard on the part
of congress and greater appropriations
to help in its maintenance.
The bill appropriating $2,000,000 for the
national guard has already been intro
duced by Congressman Stark, of Nebras
ka, and Is now in the hands of the com
mittee on militia, of which Congressman
B. F. Marsh, of Illinois, is chairman. On
this committee the adjutant generals will
advance in full force, and, having carried
the committee, will extend their cam
paign to congress in general, with the
lobbies of congress as their theater of
operation.

FOURTH FIGHT TO BE BITTER
"Antl" Combine Will Spend $500 at
rrluuirlefl to Defeat Schlff
uiHiin in lllih Own
Ualllwlok.
Since the offlceholdera under Mayor
Klefer have been ordered out to see
what they can do in the way of round
ing up delegates for the Republican con
vention for Mayor Klefer some Interest*
ing stories have been set afloat. One,
•said to have emlnated from Chief of De»
tectlvea Mclntlre, was carried to the
Sehiffmann headquarters yesterday ami
created a storm of no small proportions.
The story is to the effect that Kiefer in
structed his henchmen that wherever
they cannot land a Kiefer delegate to
"plug" for Chester R. Smith, as it is
sold that a combination has been entered
between Kleier and Smith to beat Schiff
mann or Reeves. In fact, it is claimed
Kiefer already realizes that he has no
chance for a renomination and has in
reality pledged his waning strength to
Smith. For this service it is given out
that Kiefer is tq be granted certain con
cessions.
One of them that Chief of Detectives
Melntire la credited with confiding to his
friends is that Mclntire and Christen
sen. Chief of Police Getchell and any
others of the police department who may
see fit to play mto the mayor's hand will
be allowed tofhold their Jobs if Smith
lands the nomination and succeeds in be
ing elected. Tho Sehiffmann "boomers"
are very angry over this alleged deal anA
threaten more direful vengeance than
ever upon Smith. Of Klefer they have
little fear, in fact d© not consider him an
active factor in !Us own behalf at all,
hut it Is realised th&t the present mayor
might control ttla balance of power in
the convention and"'for this reason they
are putting a Keener edge to the knives
that are being savagely thrust into
Smith's mayoralty {boom whenever the
opportunity offers, f As a reminder to
Chief of Detectives Mclntlre, "Midget"
Christensen and the other newly appoint
ed police officials of what will happen If
they "buck" the Sehiffmann candidacy,
the adherents of the .young Fourth ward
candidate -declare that Sehiffmann will
make short work of the present central
station outfit if he should be elected.
Another story accredited to Chief of
Detectives Mclntire Is that the antl-
Sohiffinann combination has already
raised $500 for the purpose of fighting
Schiffmann at the primaries in the
Fourth ward. The scheme is to try to
break Sehiffmanri's strength in his own
ward and urge his apparent weakness in
his home bailiwick as a reason why he
should not be nominated. This con
tingency the Sohlffmann supporters do
not fear to any extent, however, as they
are confident of carrying the Fourth
easily, and they are even willing that a
little of the Kiefer-Smith combination
money shall be circulated among the
"worthy." In thin way the *'boys" can
make a little ready cash, and give the
combination an even harder throw-over
In the convention, is the way It is figured
out.

An enterprising burglar went through
the apartments of James* E. Lobdell. in
the Kenllworth ilats, Arundel street, be
tween Dayton and Marshall ave
nues, yesterday afternoon and car
ried off jewelry and plat© valued
at $125. llie circumstances surrounding
the robbery lead the police to believ*
that a clever professional flat burglar has>
arrived in town and additional develop
ments are anticipated. The burglars en
tered the apartments by skillfully forcing
the Yale lock and systematically search
ed the place, appropriating only the most
valuable articles of jewelry and table
ware.
The robbery took place between 2 and
4 o'clock in the afternoon. The apart
ments are occupied by Mr. I.obdell and
his sister, Mrs. E. 1,. Hoppe. Both were
absent and though the flat Is on the third
floor of the building, the burglar seemet
to have no difficulty in ascertaining that
he had a clear coast. The fact that the
Janitor was washing windows about the
building during the afternoon did not de,
ter him from his purpose nor did the
presence of other residents frighten him
away. Prying off the door frame witn
a Jimmy" the burglar slipped the lock
bolt and then fastened the door with
himself on the inside. In prosecuting hi*
search he disdained the rough and tumble
tactics of the ordinary daylight robber»,
who have of late so annoyed the police
by their daring depredations, and careful

CHOSE 3 SITE) OF FORT RIPL.EY.
Two new faces In the galaxy of por
traits that hang In the historical society
rooms In the state capitol greeted the
people who attended last night's regular
monthly meeting of the executive coun
cil. One portrait is that of the Hon.
Henry M. Rice, once United States sen
ator for i>iiniiesota, a pastel painting by
Miss Evelyn C. Russell, and the other
is that of William R. Marshall, fifth gov
ernor of Minnesota, general In the Civil
war, and at one time secretary of th»
historical association. Several resolu
tions were introduced at the business
meeting of the council over which ex*
Gov. Ramsey presided. A resolution in
troduced by Emil Geis>t asked the asso
ciation to indorse the plan of establish
ing a national park at Leech lake. The
resolution was referred to the committee
with approval Judge C. K. Flandrau In
troduced a resolution asking the asso
ciation to give its approval to the pro
posed plan of setting apart a small tract
of land at Fort Rldgely as a national
military cemetery. This resolution was
also referred to the committee with ap
proval. William F. Mason and John A.
Stees were nominated for membership.
The paper for the evening was read by
Rev. George C. Tanner, of Faribault.
The title was "Early History of Fort
Rlpley." based on the diary of Rev.
Solon \V. Manney. chaplain from 1849 to
1K59. It was in part as follows:
It Is the only systematic attempt to
preserve a history of what took place at
Fort Ripley.
The occasion of the building of Fort
Ripley was as follows:
In the summer of 1848 the Wlnnebago
Indians were removed from lowa to a
reservation given them In the territory of
Minnesota, extending along the west bank
of the Mississippi from the mouth of the
Crow Wing to a little below Sauk Rapids.
Among the obligations assumed by the
United States was the location and con
struction of a cantonment, and the sta
tioning of a garrison thereat, within the
limits of the new Indian grant near the
mouth of the Crow Wing river. Brig.
Gen. Brooke, at that time commander of
the military department which embraced
this territory, having received instruc
tions from the war department, proceed
ed to Crow Wing in the month of Novem
ber, 1848, with a squadron of dragoons and
several staff officers; and, after recon
nolterlng the country, he decided that the
terms of the treaty with the Winm-bagoes
required that the fort should be located
on the went bank of the Mississippi, juat
below the mouth of the Nokaslppl, a trib
utary from the east. Capt. Dana, now
Gen. Dana, at that time on duty in Bos
ton, received orders to report to Gen
Brooke. He did so, accoidingly. at the
earliest possible moment, and found the j
post already located. Capt. Dana was an
officer In the quartermaster's department,
and was left In charge of the construction
of the fort. The builder was the vener
able Jesse H. Pomroy, who Still resides
in St. Paul. The winter whs passed in
getting out lumber. In the .spring of J849
one of the companies of the Sixth Infan
try at Fort BneUlnej was moved up to the
new site, the commander of which was
Capt. B. S. Todd. The fort was first
named Fort Games. In honor of Brig.
Gen. K. P. Gatnes. Nov. 4, ISSO. the name
was changed to Fort Ripley. in honor of
a distinguished officer of the war of 1812.
Gen. Dana superintended the work for
two years. The fort was not fully com
pleted until 1854.
Tho first commanding officer at Fort
icipley was Capt. B. S. Todd. who was in
charge from IM'J to 1854. He was succeed
ed by Maj. Patten. po*t and "writer on
military science. In 1K57 the troops were
removed, with the intention of abandon
ing the post. The reserve and the mili
tary stores were actually sold—the form
er at an average of three cents an acre.
The sale, however, was not ratified by
tho government.
The breaking out of hostilities on the
part of the Indiana which occurred im
mediately on the removal of the troops
led to the restoration of the garrison.
The post continued to be held for several
years. It was a military necessity in
ISG2, at the time of me Sioux massacre;
and it was not abandoned until July 11,
1877. Besides those already named as in
command were Capt. McCaskey and Capt
i tales, who have since won distinct ion hi
the L'hllipplnes.
The diary of the chaplain shows that
the winters of that period were as va
riable as at present. Occasionally the
mercury freezes. In 1868 he remarks that
the month of Aoril was worse than any
of. the winLer months had been, l-'rost
came every month that summer.
Among the well known and historical
characters of that country was Hole-in
t he-Day, long remembered by nil the
early settlers; Emmegahbowh the first
native to receive orders in the Episcopal
church in the United States; Rev. James
Lloyd Breck, missionary to the Ojibways
at Gull lake and Leech lake; Rev. E
Steele Peake. who continued the Indian
work until 1862; Clement Beaulleu and
others. The diary tells us of George
Bungo, tall, straight, well-built, very
black, mixed African and Indian, edu
cated at Montreal, living among the In
dians—a man of the highest integrity
with almost unlimited credit with men
like Hon. 11. M. Rice and others, who were
leading merchants of St. Paul
Then there was David Otmsted. presi-
