and pointed .remarks. «.*•■■•
J. J. MeCardy, 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' organization in_ St. Paul and
the United States, and spoke of the feel
ing of pleasure by the members of the
Commercial club in being: able next May
to welcome the national organization,
which would gather in St. Paul on that
date. "T like to be the guest of men," said
Mr. Me.Cardy, "/who obey pfders, 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 your work is of greater value ar.d
your worth to the traveling public of
much more importance. My hope is that
your path through .life .will be a hnp: y
on^. and when you reach that great
celestial union depot, that no red lights
will be there to say halt."
Howard Whce'ler spoke for the city offi
cials present, and added his voice in ex
tending a welcome Io 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' one.
Of the national officers present, K. E.
Clark, grand chief conductor, led in
prominence, and during the evening's
pleasure he was the guest of honor.
Called upo« for a bpeecfe Mr. Clark said:
"It gives me great pleasure to attend a
St. Paul gathering- such sta this, and ts;)o
--cially when the invitation conies from
the members of No. 40. I watch for its
annual dinner with eageccess, and, if
possible, never fail to be there. It is a
part and-paroel of the'best-labor organi
zation the country has today, something,
1 am sure, those who have had dealings
with us will attest to In olden times
the railway conductor was a hewer o£
wood and a drawer, of water, but, thanks
to organization, they are now the peer of
all. Our aims are toelevate, to educate,
and. in the end, to work for the welfare
of both employe and employer. Labor
organizations were at one time asso
ciated with everything that wa? 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 this
about. We work for our members while
they are alive. Each draws from the
dther something of good, and thus we as
sist in .making .our . ca.llitjg one that
no one can discredit. W e work for the
highest possible pay consistent with the
greatest amount of good service, 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 matt< r oi"
course," but.the "world does not forget
an. error wh>>re lives are jeopardized arid
perhaps;, snuffed .out without warning.
These are the things pur organization
makes an effort to reduce to the mini
mum, and that is why nieri of only known
strict habits and experience are to be
found in ;lts'ra'nks.'"Our"'organization is
perhaps not known as it should be, but
it will. We are trying to accomplish gojd
and the world will ; yet know us. We
carry the banner of unionism and are
fast invading? :-the- Sttudati of non-uniori
ism. The very essence of a railroad em
ploye is 16'yalty,' arid- 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 we' 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 ourjjolicies^jjut.l. am glad to say we
have not had to put that policy in prac
tice. The best*of Gaoling and good will

thing to interfere with its continuance."
Mr. Clark thanked the city official
and trade organizations 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
opportunly 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 prrsent 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, 11. D. Powers; secretary
nrui treasurer, M. N. Goss: senior con

Considerable conjecture is on as to
whom Mayor ..Smith will nani; ; to fill tha
vacancies in the water beard and in the
fire commissioners, which take placa with
the closing or' 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 J. H. Wolterstorff are the
ones whose terms expire, and the names
most frequently heard as their successors
are Thomas Grace and George 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 of the
water board for nearly ten years, receiv
ing his appointment at the hands of
Mayor Smith. Friends want him retain
ed, but it is 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
with fear and alarm. Some of his 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 r.tfmber 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'Gorman.
. County Commissioner E. B. Lott, 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.

REV. A. S. ALCOTT COMPARES THE
TWO GREAT TEACH*
ERS
MAST POINTS OF SIMILARITY
Both Dlftpl&yed Wisdom at an Early
Age, Were Wanderers and Tray
. . eled t WjtlL Disciples—
Teachings Differ.
The lecture of Rev. A. N Alcott on
Confucius at the Universalist church of
Messiah yesterday afternoon arou<=ei
great interest, more particularly so bj
cause the subject was one that has been
touched on-considerably of late in thi-j
country. The lecture was largely in the
nature of a^ comparison "between Confu
cius and Jesus, and the speaker brought
out the points o£ similarity in their lives
He said, in t>art:
"Tn Confucius we come on a thinker.
We have a key to him in orve 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 t n inker3 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 early manhood,
wrought at the carpenter's trade. Con
fucius, at the age of seventeen, worked
in an office. Aa the Bible tells, Jesus
surprised parents and others at the a°e
of twelve by re&son of his precocious
wisdom. Confucius, at a you/Tiful age,
mastered all the' religious "literature of
China, and was wise in sacred lore.
"Tt might be said that Confueim; was
poor irom his youth, because When he
was only tlreef years old his father died,
and, shortlyjafter, Ms mother also. When
«he diod donfiicius mourned her for
nviny years* shut himself up in his hut,
which was near:! her grave, and devoted
himself to his books and big studies
You a!l know' what Jesus did for his
mother, when he hunt;- on the cross. He.
did not forget4ier 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 :a~h
ion Jesus traveled about. Confucius did
not really have a place he, could. call his
home. Jesua srud:
" 'The foxes have holes and the brds
of the air have nests, but, the Son of Ma<i
hath not where \p lay his head.' Jesus
was born in a stable at Bethlehem,
and an angel wjth a multitude of the
heavenly host appeared, saving: 'Glor/
to God in the .highest, and en earth
pe'ce, good will towrd men.'
"Confucius ;was born In a cave and. It
is related, ho 1 was attended by fairies
at the time. Jesus began to teach at
30; Confucius at 22. Jesus chose twelve
from among- all. those who heard him to
-be continually with him and about hi 3
person. Confucius chose ten of the high
est class of mind and character amon?
his diseipjes to ever be--near him for
espeeia} instruction and companionship.
One of these- was rash and impetuous,
like the aposgle Peter, -and another was
loving and t£fi<ler, like the apostle J-ohn.
Now. In onlc r to understand Confuciua,
it is i.. :,j ever bear in mind that
he liv.-d ;i!i;i <li 1. hi.s work under a strict
and rigid patriafehiaV system of society.
There is no.tfti.ng thut explains the China
of today as do.-s this fact, this key.
"It teaches us why Confucious thought
out the moral system which is his, and
why it contain.- as much and as little a-s
it tfOcs. ■• You all know under what Con
ditions Jesus lived and worked: It was
•different with Confucius. He began to
work in the ytar 52!) B. C, at twenty
two. China was not by any means as
large as it "is now. U was in area only
(.no-sixth of the present empire and the
.population was from 10.000,000 to 15,000,00 i)
of people. As I have said, Confucius ear
ly recognized 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 1 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 "did nof neglect the wor
ship of ancestor*, nor common religious
rights. He only would not speculate on
these schemes nor lay his emphasis here.
He said:
"'I teach -you . nothing but what you
might learn yourselves. The 1 five funda
mental relation* and their virtues and
their laws, and the five capital virtues,
universal charity, impartial justice, Con
formity to ceremonies and established
usages, rectitude of heart and mind, and
pure sincerity.'•
"Cnnfusius gave us the silver rule,
which is the' golden rule negatively; Hi.s
life was a model one, and his disciples
and others rhdeavored to copy his ac
tions with the belief that they might gain
some of his virtues In that way. They
watched ho\t 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
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.
"The results of his good work contin
ued to grow, and has grown steadily,
as has Christianity. You all know what
it is today. It is unnecessary to go in

JOHN MARTTJT SUSTAINS A BAD

Kiftlit Scorns to Have Started After
Martin Wiw Hit With a
Clal> — 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 the 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 the
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.

STREET CAR LINES TIED UP
Scarcity of Water \Vas Caosetl by
tlie Slinttinsr, Down of tlie
Mills — Mlnneax>olis
Nsws,
By the closing down of all the flour
mills yesterday morning, which is some
thing unusual, the flow of the Missis
sippi river was, checked by the dam above
the falls, and the ve.sult was that the
Twin City Rapid Transit company for
several hours yesterday lacked j dwer
with which to- properly operate car-!
throughout itß entire system. The street
railway company" has its power house
and dam below the. falls, and for power
relicts upon the water that escapes
through the. .tail-races of the mills, or
makes its way over the upper dam.
If ■ but one or two mills are running
enough water goes through the canal to
furnish power, but this source is
checked the power must come from the
water that comes over the dam. Dur
ing the past week fourteen of the twenty
two mills were running, including the
Pillshitry 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 th e mills continued run
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 power house below the Falls Ceased
running, for. the .river between the lower
dam and the falls was practically dry.
The water coming down the river was
checked by the dnm.and nearly four.hours
elapsed before it rose to the crest, flowed
over and provided power for the turbines
bslow.
The .street railway officials had been
warned that, there would probably be an
insufficiency of power, and during the
night the steam* 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.
Tho engines were a-ble to furnish enough
power for all but the lines punning on
Hennepin avenue, and north of it. on the
west side of the river. The system was
affected from 7:30 to 10:30 o'clock in the
morning 1, and for to. portion of this time
not a wheel turned on the Hennep!n
avenue, north 1 Washington, Sixth avenuj

Iceboat Tries to .Skate on Water,

Commodore Theodore Wetmore's ice
boat. North Star, yesterday attempted
to skate over water in Lake Minnetonka,
and the attempt was a failure. The boat
was loaned to half a.dozen Minneapolis
and St. Paul gentlemen, and w rhile spin
ning along at the rate of a mile a minute,
the North Star skated f^fcn the congealed
waters into real water""and turned over
on her side.
All but one St. Paul man—whose name
is supprcssed^-esca,pe«l with merely an
icy bath. The unlucky individual was
caught in senre of the gear and narrow
ly escaped drowning. He was rescued
with a few pints of water in his bronchial
tubes, but with the others was resusci
tated after partaking of warm beverages
at the cheery fireplace at Harry Wllcox's.
Among those who participated in the
rescue, which was a dangerous proposi
tion, were Alfred Phelps, Ant'^.v Peter

Body of Inknomi Man Found Near
Lake Street Bridge.
The body of a man Was discovered in

The body was discovered by a man who
happened "to be passing that way. The
face was above the ice, but the rest of
the body was below the surface.
The coroner was unable to reach the
place until after dark, and as the body
was some distance from shore, it waa
deemed be?t to postpone the removal un
til today. The man is described as about
thirty-flve years of age. with light hair
and mustache, having the appearance o°

William Powers waa arrested on a

because he insisted upon entering his
home, 1413 Fifth street north, which had
been placed under quarantine for small
pox. Powers left for the woods Dec. 12,
and the following day a case of small
pox was discovered in Powers' family.
He started for home as soon as he heard
of it, and, arriving in the city yesterday,
tried to go home.
The place was guarded by policemen,
and they insisted that he would have
to remain away. An argument followed,
and this led to Powers' arrest.

Report of the Financial Condition
of Mexico.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. Minister Li
montour's report of. the financial con
dition of the country, . mn.de to congrt ss
on the.presentation of the annual budget
is a notable document. He estimates for
the ensuing: year a revenue of amount
ing to $G1.6(j4.000, and expenditures <>r
$61,077,9% 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 by mope. t
tary strfng-eney, 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 paralyzatinn of
transactions and which to continue i"or a._^
long time would probaibly occasion a ■
formal crisis in the commerce and in
dustry of a large portion of t'r.e republic."
The financial minister estimates that in
addition to $50,000,000 in cash deposited in
banks that the holdings of tre general
public in cash does not amount to more |
than $40,000,000, co that the total circula
tion of silver money may be estimated in ;
the neighborhood of $00,000. €00.
Mr. I.fmontour continued: "It la there
fore not strange when Fuddenly the coun
try's supply or' cash was curtailed from
10 to 12 per cent, by the exportation p"
silver dollars, business should ha\t> ex
perienced some degree of paralyzation.
There has been an unusuaj demand f< r
Mexican dollars and this demand has
sensibly diminished the supply of metal
eavh. here."
The report shows that the formation of
new stock companies for manufacturing 1 k^
and other purposes vv.-is a revelation t<> ■ *"
many business men of prodigious efficacy, '
of which instruments of credit are sus
ceptible and that a certain amount iof -
speculation began, resulting in over-pro
duction in manufacture, in some lines .
natural redaction is experienced. i
The report says the facility with which -;
credit was secured at banks 'on the
strength of fortunes already amassed, o;
--by hypothecating: the shares of long and .
favorably known companies, of collateral. ]-.
led many firms and capitalists to enter •
>m new enterprises without waiting as
long a time as would, perchance, n.->.\- •
been desirable, so as to allow previous :':
enterprises to , mature arid. their shares ' !
und bonds have become well disseminated .> ~
among the people. .It is not, therefore.;
strange that as soon as the. scarcity of—
cash liejran to bo felt transact lons shdulfl' ■*•"
be somewhat cnecked and that as busi- ■"•
ness concerns were unable any longer lo '
have recourse, to banks, having made full .
use, of .their credit in. ; -those establish-:
