Eembled at the hotel by the chief con
ductor J.-J3. Goudit, and u»*der his guid
ance they and the invited representatives
of the trade organizations, and also a
number of the city officials, were escoit

sufficiently numerous and entertaining

and pointed .remarks. »* * -
J. JV McCaxdy, as comptroller of the
city of St. Paul, and the representative
of the Commercial club, made happy ref
erence to the recognized standard of the
conductors] organisation..jfk S.t: Paul and
the United States, and spoke of the feel
ing of pleasure by the members of the
Commercial club in being able rcxt May
to welcome the na+lonal organization,
which would gather in St. Paul on that
date. "T like to be the guest of men," said
Mr. MeC-ardy... w^hftjabeyvPrders. A body
of men like this have great possibilities
before them. You are not viewed in the
light of railroad magnates, but I assure
you yonr work is'of' greater value and
your worth to the traveling public of
much more importance. My hope is that
your path through, Ji.fe.will be a happy
one, and when you reach that great
celestial union depot, that no red lights
will be there to say halt."
Howard 'Wheeler spoke for the city offi
cials present, and added his voice in ex
tending- a welcome to the national con
vention of railroad conductors to be held
in St. Paul next May. He assured them
that the city officials would not be lack
ing in their effort to make the stay of the
visitors a happy" erne.
Of the national officers present, E. FJ.
Clark, grand chief conductor, led In
prominence, and during the evening's
pleasure he was the guest of honor.
Called upon for a speech Mr. Clark said:
"It gives me great pleasure, to attend a
St. Paul gathering- such as this, and espe
cially when the invitation comes from
the members of No. 40. I watch for its
annual dinner with eagerness, and, if
possible, never fail to be there. It is a
part and parcel of the> best- labor organi
zation the country has today, something,
I am sure, those who have had dealings
with us will attest to. In olden limes
the railway conductor was a hewer of
wood and a drawer of water, but, thanks
to organization, they are now the peer of
all. Our aims are to elevate, to educate,
and. in the end, to work for the welfare
of both employe and employer. Labor
organizations were at one time asfo
ciated with everything that was disrep
utable, but happily the public mind has
been removed of that delusion, and I
think the Order of Railway Conductors
have been instrumental in bringing thi-5
about. We work for our members while
they are alive. Each draws from the
dther some.thing'of good, and thus we as
sist in making our . cabling one that
no oils can discredit. We work for the
highest possible pay consistent with the
greatest amount of good serviue, and, as
an organization; insist that each of
our brothers .- shall be rewarded.
We give in return value receiv
ed. Small errors found in all
lines are accepted. as. a matter of
course," tut "the World does not forget
an error whorg liye^s are jeopardized and
perhaps" snuffed out without warning.
These are the things our organization
makes an effort to reduce to the mini
mum, and that is why men of only known
strict habits and experience are to be
found in "its ranks. Our organization is
perhaps ,not known as it should be, but
it will. We are trying to accomplish good
and the world will yet know us. "We
carry the banner of unionism and are
fast invading? the StfudaYi of non-union
ism. The very essence of a railroad em
ploye is 16yalty; and- ft is one of the com
ponent parts of our organization. That
is one reason why the railroad service
in the United States is unequaled in the
world. We work for the interests of our
employers and the "traveling public, but
while we are giving that service wt are
not backward in exacting what it is
worth. Our laws are an open book.
They are not secret. They are built on
right and- honor., and for- the protection
of all. I believe In protection, prepara
tion for warfare if necessary. The indi
vidual has the same right as a nation
if his rights are trampled on. That is on e
of our policies, but I am glad to say we
have not had fo put that policy in prac
tice. The hastsU)f .tfeoliag and good will
THE ST. PAVh GLOBE, 3MRSNBSY "BECEMBEH 17, 1900,
exists between the emplojTers and the con
ductors, and neither side will allow any
thing to interfere with its continuance."
Mr. Clark thanked the city officials
and trade oiganizations for the expres
sions of good will, and said the conduct
ors would try to merit it by sending to
St. Paul the largest representation in
their history.
Other speakers who extended welcomes
in behalf of the organizations they repre
sented were B. H. Beardsley, of the
Chamber of Commerce; H. P. Hall, of the
Jobbers' union, and C. J. Whelams, of the
Northwest Manufacturers union. Mr.
Hall, who was the recognized wit in
this bunch of speakers, said the simple
announcement that the Jobbers' union
was going to make an effort to welcome
the conductors next May should be suffi
cient to secure the success of the event.
Of those who added their voice In
speaking a good word for the conductors,
the efforts of Mr. G. B. Finch, Judge
J. A. Chandler, of the Milwaukee; Thom
as Lynch, of the Great Northern, and
J. A. O'Brien, of the Omaha line, were
among the many that were appreciated.
Mr. Lynch, as a member of the passenger
association, said that his connection with
the railroad business gave him ample
opportunty to recognize the loyalty and
zeal of the conductor. He was thrown
in daily contact with them, and while
possibly not In as large numbers as on
the present occasion, yet he always round
the sample packages good, and could
vouch for the balance of the shipment.
In the election of officers, which pre
ceded the banquet, the following were
selected:
Chief conductor, J. D. Condit; assistant
chief conductor, H. D. Povsers; secretary
and treasurer, M. N. Goss: senior con
ductor, F. A. Pease; punior conductor, J.

composed of I). A. levies, IT. A. Stuart,

Considerable conjecture is on as to
whom Mayor.Smith will name- to fill .the
vacancies in the water beard and in the
fire commissioners, which take place with
the closing of the present year.
On the water board there will be two
vacancies and in the board of fire com
missioners three vacancies, all of which,
according to the charter, must be filled
on or before Dec. 31.
On the water board R. B. C. Bement
and President .1. H. Wolterstorff are the
ones whose terms expire, and the names
most frequently heard as their successors
are Thomas Grace and G?orge W. Free
man. The latter will likely be named
for the four-year term and the former
for the five-year term.
Maj, Bement has been a member oT the
water board for nearly ten years, receiv
ing his appointment at the hands of
Mayor Smith. Friends want him retain
ed, but it *s hardly possible that they
will succeed.
Of the board of. fire commissioners.
Messrs. Vanish, Walther. and Sharood
will have to retire, and this fact is not
without considerable annoyance to Chief
Cook, who fears, upon their going, the
removal of his own official head. His late
mix-up with Patrolman Hennessy has
removed any civil service talk in his fa
vor, and he can only view the future
vrith fear and alarm. Some of hi 3 aids
will also likely feel the ax, as the new
appointees will make the board Demo
cratic.
Of those mentioned for the vacancies,
Albert Schweitzer, T. J. Clarkin and Reu
ben Warner Jr. seem to lead in the race.
A nifmber also aspire for the position
of secretary to the board, now held by
Capt. J. A. Owens. Those mentioned are
George Mitsch, R. O. Strong and William
O'Gonnan.
. County Commissioner E. B. L.ott, who
has received the indorsement of the vari
ous ' local unions for the position, of
state labor commissioner, has, in the
opinion of his friends, a good chance of
receiving . the appointment.

Both Diftpl&yed Wisdom at an Early
' Age, Were Wanderers and Trav

:. Teachings Differ. "".".
The lecture of Rev. A. N, Alcott on
Confucius at the Universalist church of
Messiah yesterday afternoon aroused
great interest, .jnore particularly so bi
cause the subject was one that "has been
touched on -considerably of late in thi*
country. The Jecture was largely In the
nature of "between Confu
cius and Jesus, and the speaker brought
out the points <o£ similarity In their lives
He said, in t>art:
"In Confucius we come on a thinker.
We have a key to him in one of his say
ings: 'Man is greater than any system
of thought; man can enlarge his princi
ples.' This is the explanation of his won
derful influence over China. There is
something suggestive and encouraging in
such a continued hold of thought and of
moral ideas on so many billions of people
in the aggregate during twenty-four cen
turies.
"When we see that Confucius and Zo
roaster and other great thinker 3 ho.d
such a wonderful sway over people, ages
after their death, we are forced to be
lieve there is an essential Christ in
every man, no matter how germinal it
may be, an essential Christ in Buddha,
and In every man of his followers, and
so on through the long list.
"All great leaders of religious life
teach us that our aim should he lofty,
and that belief should pervade in spirit
every phase, of life—political, social, leg
islative, industrial.
BOTH WERE LOWLY MEN.
"Both Jesus and -Confucius were poor.
The former, during- his earls'- manhood,
wrought at the carpenter's trade. Con
fucius, at the age of seventeen, worked
in an office. As the Bible tells, Jesus
surprised parents and others at the a?e
of twelve by reason of his precocious
wisdom. Confucius, at a you/Tiful age,
mastered all the religious literature of
China,. an.d w#s wise in sacred lore.
"Tt might be said that Confucius was
poor Jrom his youth, because" when" he
was only tlhsijf years old his father died,
and, shortly After; his mother also. When
she diod dkmfucius mourned her for
many years*«l;mt himself up in his hut,
which was u£ar" her grave, and devoted
himself to his books and his studies.
You all kndw"* tvhat Jesus did for his
mother, when' he hung on the cross. He
did not forget_h^r even in-the midst -of
his agonies. Confucius was a wanderer
from province to province, the most of
his life going about giving instruction to
his disciples and others. In similar lash
ion Jesus traveled about, Confucius did
not really have a place he could, call his
home. Jesu3r"Sf»id:
" 'The foxes have holes and the b'rds
of the air have nests, but, the Son of Man
hath not where to lay his head.' Jesus
was born in a "stable at Bethlehem,
and an angel wjth a multitude of the
heavenly host appeared, saying: 'Glor/
to God in the .highest, and on earth
pe'ce, good will to'wrd men.'
"Confucius "was born in a cave and. It
is related, he' was attended by fairies
at the time. Jesus began td= -teaen at
30; Confucius £t 22. Jesus chose twelve
from among all;those who heard him to
-be continually with him and about his
person. Confucius chose ten of the high
est class of-mind and character among
his diseigjes to ever b> -near him for
especial- instruction and companionship.
One of these? was rash and impetuous,
like the apostle Peter, another was
loving and tffftiler, like th<?<apostle John.
Now, in order to understand Confucius,
it is .r.i:-f-»ssax> to ever bear in mind that
he lived pffa diO. his work under a strict
and rigid parriarchiaf system of'society.
There is notning- that expiiins the China
of today as does this fact, this key.
"It teaches us why Confusions thought
out the moral system which is his, and
why it contains as much and as little as
it d"6es.- You all know urider what Con
dition? Je.«us lived and worked. It was
■different with Confucius He began to
work in the year 529 B. C, at twenty
two. China was not by any means as
large as it is now. H was in area only
one-sixth of the present empire and the
■population was from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000
of people. As I have said, Confucius ear
ly recogrifzed the rights and duties of life.
He was intensely practical, and he re
fused to speculate on the: Supreme Being
.or on spirits. He declared that if we
could not know perfectly that which was
before our eyes, still less could we know
and serve properly what was invisible.
"However, he Tlld not" neglect the wor
ship of ancestor*, nor common religious
rights. He drily:-would not speculate on
these schemes nor lay his emphasis here.
He said:
"'I teach ; yoti. nothing but what you
might learn yourselves. The' five funda
mental rela'flbns and their virtues and
their laws, and: the five capital virtues,
universal charfty, impartial justice, Con
formity to ceremonies and established
usages, rectitude of heart and mind, and
pure sincerity.'l
"Confusius gave us the silver rule,
which is the; golden rule negatively. His
life was a kicdel one, and his disciples
and others >hdpkvored to copy his ac
tions with the belief that they might gain
some of his' virfifes in that way. They
watched hoxi he" ate, how he lay when
he slept, how he acted before people, all
his mannerisms and characteristic ac
tions.
HE WAS DISCOURAGED.
"He died in poverty, utterly discour
aged. He had tried to get
some prince to adopt his sys
tem with the hope that it would have
a wide influence, but in this he failed.
At the age of seventy years he died, and,
strange to say. immediately after hi.s j
death people began to lament him. His
truths had struck a responsive chord,
and the few thousand that had been im
pressed by him enshrined him in their
memories.
"Th^ results of his good work contin

JOHN MARTIN SUSTAINS A BAD
. FRACTURE OP LEFT
LEG
FOUGHT WITH PROPRIETOK
Fight Seems to Have Started After
Martin "Wins- Hit Wltu a >
Club — He Was
Drinking.
John Martin, who works on the farm
of J. G. Shea, about two miles outside
the city limits, thought he could er.joy
himself more by visiting a few. saloons
than by going to church yesterday morn
ing. He may not think so now, for he
is lying in th city, hospital suffering
from a fractured leg, sustained during a
saloon brawl. ; .;.. : .
According to information given at the
Albion stables last night, it appears thajt
Martin, who was drinking quite heavily,
became involved in an altercation with
the propretor of a saloon at Eighth and
Sibley streets.
The Boniface! in order to emphasize the
force of his arguments, is said to have
employed a club, which he applied to th«
head of the other disputant. This treat
ment did not prove as convincing as was
expected, and a lively mix-up followed.
When the row was over it was found
that Martin's left leg was fractured just
above the ankle, and he was removed to
the hospital in an ambulance.
On arrival there he was still consid
erably the worse for liquor. His fracture
was a bad one, and some time was con
sumed in reducing it.
The injured man is thirty-six years of
age, and is single.

Then he jumped from a front window
under a . fusillade of .pistol shots and,
leaping into the bug^ry, was .driven rapid

escaped., carrying- with them about .$5lO
of the doctor's property. . 7. -......•.,:;
Dr. Hirsch ?.r»d his family were at din
ner when the marauder enured.
A telephone (all took the pastor's
daughter from the dining table to ihe
second floor of the house, and she was
surprised to find thte door of her room
locked as she passed it and to hear a
noise in her room. Immediately shs
heard a froht window opened and a body
drop to the roof of a poreta below. In
an instant a number of pistol shots rani*
ovjf, followed by the hoof beats, of a
rapidly retreating horse.
This was tlie :irst the members of the
family knew that' they had! been made
the victims of thieves. Mrs. John Tait,
a neighbor, had seen the boggy atop in
froftt of the 'house and the msn enter the
coairt. where he was lost to view in' the
shadow. She called her son John and
together they watched developments.
Nothing suspicious occurred until a front
window of the Hirsch home was thrown
open and a man leaped to the porch ro_>f
and slid to the ground. Ycung Tait
opened fire on th* thief and the fire was
returned as the man ran for the buggy.
Ncne of the bullets took effect.
A short while before ttfe entry of the
Hirsch honif two men drove in a buggy
to the residence of Samuel Stem, 3044
Grand boulevard, and a3ked to be direct
ed to the Hirsch home. It is thought
these men were the burglars.
The burglar took considerable jewelry,
among which were two watches, valued
at about $100 each: two chains, valued at
about J-25 each; an onyx pin, valued at
a.bout $75, and numerous other articles
of intrinsic and personal value.

Scarcity"" of ' Water''Waa Cnnscd I>>
. the .Shutting^ Down of the
Mills — Minneapolis
* >sws.
Bythe closing- dowlv of all the flour
mills yesterday "morning, which is some
thing unusual, the flow of the Missi--
.river wag checked, by the dam above
the falls, and the result was that the
Twik : ,City., Rapid Transit company for
several hours yesterday lacked power
with which r to* •• properly operate car?
throughout its entire system. The street
railway company "has : its power house
and /Jam^belpW the. falls, and for power
relies upon - the water that " escapes
through, tlie,tail-races, of the mills, or
makes its way over the upper dam. .
If • but .erne or '-two' mills j are running
enough water goes through the canal to
furnish rjower, but "when this source is
checked _ rhe :.power ( must come from the
water that comes over the dam. ; Dur
ing the past week fourteen of. the twenty
two mill 3 were running, including the
Pillshury-A, which draws a vast amount
of water. At the present time the stage
of water in the river is very low,: 'and as
the mills had been drawing from it, the
water at the upper dam was far below
the crest. „ «' ... '. .'„
Over half of the mills continued rua^
ning Saturday night, and the supply was
very low when they shut down at 7:3)
o'clock yesterday morning. It was less:
than five minutes later that the wheels
at the rtpower' house below the falls "ceassd
running, for. the river between the lower
dam and the falls was practically dry.
The water .coming down , the river was
checked by thy. dam.and nearly ; fx;ur,hours
elapsed before it rose to. the crest, flowcl .
over and -provided power for the turbines
b-?1ow. '■'- "■■■■■ -■ '•£', ■■•-•• .'■
The street, railway officials had been'
warned that there would probably be an
irisufflciency of power, and during . the
night the steantr \ engines were started,.
with the hope that enough power might
be furnished from them to operate the
system when the lower power house stop
ped operations. But the "call for power
exceeded the capacity of the engines, and
an interruption in the service occurred.
The'engines were a*le• to rurnish enough
power : far all but ' the lines j running on
Hennepin avenue, and north of it, on the
west side of.-the river. Tlie system was
affected from 7:20 to 10:30 o'clock in the
mornlng*,''and^for./&.- portion of this time'
not a wheel turned on the Henneplri
avenue, Washington, Sixth avenue
north, Kefnv6od'and BrynMawr lines. 1

Report of the Financial Condition
of Mexico.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. R—Minister Li
montour's report of. the financial con
dition ot the country, . mn.de to congrtss
on the presentation of the annual .
is a notable document. He estimates for -
the ensuing year a revenue of amount'
ing to $61,694,000, and expenditures of
$61,(577,9% and shows why he does not an.
ticipate a large surplus for the coming .
year. He takes up the present financial
situation which is characterized bymmonet. t
tary stringency, and remarks:
"It is impossible to disregard certain
economical phenomena and certain symp.
Toms of the present business situation
and reveal a condition of uneasiness
caused by the partial paralyzation of
transactions and which to continue /or a...
long time would probaibly occasion a ;
formal crisis In the commerce and in
dustry of a large portion of the republic." \
The financial minister estimates that in
addition to $50,000,000 in cash deposited In
banks that the holdings of the general
public in cash does not amount to moro
than $40,000,000, so that the total circula
tion of silver money may be estimated in
the neighborhood of $90,000,CC0.
Mr. I.imontour continued: 'It is there
fore not stranpe when FUddenly the coun
try's supply of cash was curtailed from
10 to 12 per cent, by the exportation of
silver dollars, business should have "ex- ":
perienced some degree of pefalyzatlon.
There has been an unusual demand frr
Mexican dollars and this demand has
sensibly diminished the 'supply of metalic."

The report shows that the formation of
new stock companies for manufacturing*
and other purposes was a " revelation to'
many business men of prodigious efficacy,:"
of which instruments of credit are sus- ."
