JOSHING THE NEW ONES A Mild Form of HaziiiH' Adminis- tered to Policeman. A patrolman walking his beat out on Cedar avenue for the first time last night, had a mix-up with Young America that threatened to make a private citizen of him before morning, so great was his chagrin. The irrepressible small boy had congregated at a neighboring corner of his beat and silently lay in wait for the strong arm of the law. Then, acting on the theory that in union was strength. Young America made an attack as though one man. The officer experienced at least a few moments of warmth, freezing as he was In clothing ill-fitted to protect him from exposure. "Well, Jimmy, he is a copper and no mistake. Would you look at his star?" began one courageous young impudent. "Say, has you'se got a Ames button on your vest? Naw, he's got a star! Well, what do you'se think of that?" With such little pleasantries did they cheapen the dignity of the office of the newly appointed policeman. To remon- strate with them was out of the question. The officer was outnumbered thirty to one. All that he could do was to bow his head to the whole gamut of street gamin "roasting" and escape as soon as possible. WANT THEIR MONEY Three Discharged Policemen Apply to the Relief Association. The Police Relief association met last night, and it was indeed a melancholy gathering. Six of the ten officers of the association are no longer members of the force. The unfortunates are Treasurer Buerfenning and Directors Kaehn, Mc- Xulty, Glng, Lackey, Leonard and Ken- nedy. Three members of the association put in requests last night for the $1,000 insur- ance money which goes with retirement frcm the force. They are William Dunn, William Daily and James Monitor, all of whom were discharged by Mayor Ames. It is necessary to prove total disability in order to draw on the association for the 51,000 insurance. VEG-E-TON \u25a0i"«»|fiMsgj thetic for Pre- £'b| \J^^ \entingPain.

A Bryn Mawr car and a Fourth avenue S car met on the curve at Hennepin and Fifth street last night at 10:30. Several windows were broken in the Bryn Mawr car, and the front almost completely demolished. The pas- sengers in both cars were well shaken up, but none of them Injured. Snow on the track was the cause of the accident. Last night a telephone call came to police headquarters to the effect that Pat Crowe was in a neighboring saloon. When the of- ficers arrived on the scene they were met by a wild-eyed lad who told them a highly ex- citing tale of a mysterious stranger whom he thought was Pat. The story proved to ; be like all the current Pat stories.

The team started to run and Mrs. Passmore stood on the carriage step prepared to jump when she saw an opportunity. In front of the union station she thought that her chance had come and she jumped from her perilous position. Aside from a. few minor bruises Mrs. Passmore suffered no ill effects from her experience. EYES #JSll Examined ESS o*Ak£3^ BEST Artificial Eyes. OPTieiAH, 409 Kisoilei H. F. STEVENS IS PREST State Bar Association Is Revivified and Prepares for ,Baiilness. Minnesota's bar association, -which has been slumbering for many years, was" re- vived yesterday. i A number of j the lead- ing attorneys of the state met In the sen- ate chamber of the capitol yesterday and elected officers as. follows: President, Hiram F. Stevens, St. Paul; vice-presi- dent, M. B. Webber, Winona; secretary, Stiles W. Burr, St. Paul; treasurer, F. V. Brown, Minneapolis; board of governors, T. Young, Appleton; Augustus Armstrong, Albert Lea; F. W. Gail, Still water; L. F. Lammers, Heron Lake; S. D. Catherwood, Austin; Halvor Steenerson,. Crookston and J. G. Williams, Duluth. \u25a0 A committee consisting of Messrs. Gail, Webber, Brown, Lammers and Erickson was authorized to prepare a bill for the revision of the statutes of Minnesota which have not been revised since 1886. The bill will provide for the appointment of a commission which will submit its report to the legislature of 1903. The as- sociation placed itself on record as favor- ing a bill authorizing the disciplining of members of the bar and one relating to appeals to the supreme court. The latter is intended to reduce the expense of ap- peals. 1 Committees will be appointed to look after these and other matters of in- terest. CROWDED TO THE DOORS Hennepin Aye. M. E. Church Filled at ('rossley-Hunter Meetings. The Crossley-Hunter revival meeting last night at the Hennepin Avenue M. E. church was not only attended by an audi- ence which filled every nook and corner of the large auditorium, but was perhaps the most interesting and spiritual of any of the meetings held thus far. Not less than thirty-four seekers crowded to the front at the end of the meeting. This is by far the largest number that has come forward at any one meeting in this series and the minsters in charge of the movement are feeling very much encouraged at the pros- pects of a revival such as has perhaps nev- er been seen in Minneapolis. The meetings will be held in the Hen- nepin Avenue M. E. church to-night and to-morrow night, after which time they will probably be transferred to Wesley church. A FAIR SHAVER A Dulutli Woman Applies for a Bar- ber* License. Mrs. Ernie Palmquin of Duluth applied for a barber's license at the closing meet- ing of the state board of examiners in this city yesterday afternoon. About ninety applicants appeared before the board at this session. A meeting was held in St. Paul last evening and it was decided that a recommendation will be submitted to the legislature requiring the registration of apprentices before being allowed to practice in the state. It is also proposed that the certificates be renewed every year, and further, that a more rigid in- spection be instituted, and the barbers obliged to conform to the requirements of 1 the law. , Thursday evening, January 10. 1901. > DODGING THE FROST The Annual Exodus to California Is Now in Progress. TRAVEL HEAVIER THAN USUAL All the Hon. l- Running Special . Through Car* Which Are Well Pilled. All the roads handling California busi- ness report a heavy exodus or tourists to the land "where ceaseless summer smiles," and every traveler is asked to put a little money In an oil well. The travel to Los Angeles and common points has been quite good this season owing to the favorable railroad rates and the superior accommodations furnished by the various lines. The winter tourist business has grown wonderfully in the last few years, and it is now quite the correct thing to spend a portion of iae winter in an equable climate where the sun shines every day when it isn't raining, and where nearly everybody has money. The fact is that generally speaking they could not get to California unless they had bank bal- ances and remain there any length of time. But there is no denying the pleasures of California especially to a Minnesota man who has never forgotten the old-time blizzards. His observations concerning those awful manifestations of the ele- ments still darken his mind, and render him unable to grasp the fact that Minne- sota is getting a good deal like Missouri during the winter months. But he doesn't know that, but sees in every snow fall re- minders of the blizzard of his boyhood, the blizzard of the bare prairies when a man couldn't cross the street of a Min- nesota.or Dakota town without getting lost, and when snow drifts hid the tops of the telegraph poles, as was the case at Bird Island a few years ago. But all this has passed and the general salubrious- ness of the Minnesota climate is admitted. However, the snappy weather which chases the mercury below the freezing point is not considered good for old folks and people who hate all kinds of winter weather, so for them the California tour- ist rates of the railroads are a source of delight. The tourists are taken through .to Los Angeles in special cars, each road run- ning one or more cars a week. The M. & St. L. had a full carload of tourists out last Tuesday en route for Los Angeles via Kansas City and the Santa Fe. This trip- consumes three days and a half, and a car makes the trip every Tuesday. Another car of the St. Louis leaves Minneapolis every Thursday going via Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake. The Milwaukee and the Omaha, run fine cars weekly and have met with excellent success thus far. Their bookings for this week, as well as those of the St. Louis, show splendid results. The Great West- ern, too, has cars out three days in the week, and reports good business. The tourists comprise people from all parts of the state and the Dakotas. who come to the twin cities to avail themselves of the favorable rates. CAUGHT IN TRANSIT Captain M. L. McCormick arrived in St. Paul a few days ago from Seattle. Mr. Mc- Cormick was ior years a resident of North Dakota. Later he went to British Columbia and when the Nome country was opened he migrated there. He came down in one of the last boats arriving at Seattle in November. "'I consider the country one of thft richest in the world," said the captain, "and only a small portion of the prospects have as yet been scratched. I will return there early in the spring. I saw a statement in the papers a few days ago to the effect that the whole country is in litigation. That is drawing it rather broadly. There is some litigation there, to be sure, and litigation that is litigation, but it don't involve th<» whole country, nor all of the prospects, not at all. "Judge Noyes' advent along with a code of laws and courts for the country was wel- comed. Noyes was placed in a difficult posi- tion, but he has acquitted himself well. I have known him personally for years. I differ with him in politics, but I consider that he has done his duty and done it well and the people «f Nome generally are of that mind. 'Governor Brady, I see, is afraid of blood- shed. The governor is a little too fearful. I have been through the northwest pretty well in days when it was new, and been in a great many new mining camps, and I never saw a more peaceful camp than Nome. There is no more danger of bloodshed in Nome than there is any town in the states." J. C. Berthwick of Duluth is here. He is one of the candidates for surveyor general in the Duluth district. His best word 1s that it would be a good thing for the delegation to get together. G. S. Newberry of Carrington, N. D., Is at the Vendome. Mr. Newherry is cashier in the Belaeker-Davidson bank at Carrington. He states that although the crop may have been short in some sections of the state, yet the fact that her farmers were not calling loudly for loans in those sections was proof that they were able to stand a short crop once in a while. H. J. Hellekson, Andrew Peterson and Ro- land Tisdel of Wheaton, are in Minneapolis. They came down to look on at the senatorial flght. J. P. Mullen of Litchfteld is here buying a new stock of goods. He believes that Litch- field and the neighboring towns are due for a good trade this year. He is at the Nicollet. Joseph Meyer, state oil Inspector for South Dakota, is at the Xicollet. Mr. Meyer Is a populist, and. as the republican administra- tion has taken the reins in. South Dakota, he expects his official cares to cease soon. Dur- ing the campaign, when the republicans were claiming that they would carry the state and offering to take bets on it. Mr. Meyer mailed $25 to a friend to place for him on the re- sult. He forgot to stamp the letter, and In time it found Ha way to Washington to be opened at the department. His money was returned to him a few days ago, and Mr. Meyer thinks it is worth something to be lucky. Had the stamp been affixed, some boastful republican politician would have had the funds for his own the day after election. Walker Smith, president, and S. S. Tilus, cashier, of the First National Bank of Grand Forks, K. D., and George B. Clifford of the same place, are in the city attending a meet- ing of the board of directors of the Cream of Wheat company. Mr. Clifford is one of the people whose early faith in Grand Forks and North Dakota was of a substantial na- ture, and he believes that the next ten years will see wonders accomplished in the devel- opment of his state. W. N. Parkhurst or Kindred, N. D., is at the Nlcollet. Mr. Parkhurst is extensively engaged in farming and states that the farm- ers of his section are making preparations to increase the flax acreage this year. Attorney J. J. Youngblood of Feesenden, N. D., is in the city. He states that much of the territory west of the Soo line has been taken by actual settlers, with many more newcomers expected this spring. Mayor McPbail of Uangdon, N. D., is here, accompanied by his family. The Barry mur- der has the board-s up that way and the legislature is almost forgotten. Mr. Mc- Puail says that this will be a big year in the development of the northern part of the state. A HASTINGS WEDDING. Special to The Journal. Hastings, Minn., Jan. 10. —William F. Krue- ger and Miss Julia M. Dreberiner of this city were married yesterday at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Margaretha Dre- bcrina. Rev. Jacob Sehadegg officiated. Miss Gussle Dreberiner, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Fred Krueger of Sumter, brother of the bridegroom, best man. Only relatives and immediate friends were present. We suggest that One Minute Cough Cure be taken when there are indications of kfcawfrx takGA cold. It cures quickly. LIND AS A PUGILIST His Affair With Editor Black Causes Much Talk. BUT TWO BLOWS DELIVERED The Former Governor Wanted a Re- traction for Being Called v Traitor. The Llnd-Black affray is the one topic of conversation in hotel and capitol cor- ridors in St. Paul to-day. The senatorial contest is a minor consideration for one day, at least. While some sympathy is expressed for Black, the general sentiment seejms to be for Lind. There is something about a man who wipes out an affront with his fists that appeals to Americans every time. The incident probably would not have leaked out for days had not Lind told a reporter. As far as the Dispatch was con- cerned, absolute secrecy was kept. The ex-governor was not at all reticent about the matter this morning. He makes the following statement of the affair: Last summer the Dispatch, at a time when there were no political questions at stake, called me a traitor, and I will whip any d—d man who calls me a traitor. When one be- comes so effeminate that he will not fight wnen called a traitor, it is time him to sell up and get out. I sent word to Mr. Black by Mr, Bell, one of his reporters, requesting him to withdraw the charge. I told him 1 did not care about the political abuse he might heap upon me, but that I resented the charge of treason. Well, no action was taken in the matter, al- though Mr. Bell told me he delivered the message as I had given it to him. After I got through at the capitol to-day I went down and called Black's attention to the incident and asked why he didn't make amends. Black told me he did not under- stand that the demand for a retraction came from me, but that he was under the impres- sion it came from Mr. Rosiug. I said I be- lieved Mr. Bell a truthful man. He had told me he delivered my message as I gave it to him, and that I preferred to take Bell's word. Black made some insulting remaks, and I slapped him a couple of times. I asked him if he wanted any more, and he said he had had enough. I was about to retire when some one came up behind me and caught me by tne arm. I cried that it was unfair. I can- not say whether i struggled loose or if the second man released his hold voluntarily. At all events, I stepped out and left the building. Mr. Lind is very emphatic in denying that there was a ring upon his finger when he struck Black, or that he struck him on the nose. He said: I never wore a. ring, and I was careful where I struck him. 1 had no wish to dis- figure him, and a blow on the nose, adminis- tered with the arm with which I do all my work might not result nicely. I imagine Black cut his nose when he fell behind t*he little bookcase. At all events, I did not strike him on the nose. Indeed, I only slapped him and he fell over. Black's Side of It. Black's story differs slightly in some particulars. He says: Lind came in here and demanded a retrac- tion. I told him that he had uo retraction coming. He then said that he was a pri- vate citizen, and I said, "yes, thank God," and then he struck me. I did not want to get into a row with him for two reasons. In the first place, he has but one arm, and in the second place he said he would kill me, and I was a little afraid he might do it. There was only one witness to the af- fair, Alex Caldwell, a Dispatch reporter, who was attracted to the scene by the noise of the knock down, but did not ar- rive in time to see either blow. The two principals are the only ones who (.an tes- tify of the conversation that led up to the fight. It is evident, though, that Lind was rather warm in his demand for a re- traction, and that Black retorted very curtly, and received the reproof valiant in his eye. COL HIGGINSON/TOrMORROW Will Speak at the .Lyceum on "Ora- tory and Orators." To-morrow night Colonel Thomas Went- worth Higginson will deliver a lecture in the Institute of Arts and Letters' course at the Lyceum theater on "American Oratory and Orators." This lecture gives promise of being one of the events of the intellectual life in Minneapolis this win- ter. The extraordinary scope and inter- est of the subject, the fame and scholarly abilities of the lecturer combine to make the occasion an unusual one. It is worth noting, too, that Colonel Higginson, still an active man of letters, was taking an active part in the antislavery agitation long before the civil war. Seats for this lecture may be obtained at the Metropolitan Music store. COURT NEWS ANN BAGGETT WIXS She Recover) a Legacy Which Was Preniatnrely Delivered. Old Ann Baggett wins against one of her nieces and will go after the other re- lations as sopn as the district court will allow. In her suit against Mary A. Irwin, Judge Pond has ordered judgment In the aged woman's favor, giving her possession of two bits of real estate which have passed out of her possession. The court finds that when she made her mark as signing the deeds she was so feeble, illit- erate and helpless that she did not ap- preciate what she was doing. There are three other suits pending against Mary A, Ellen and Robert J. Irwin respectively to recover $3,000 in gold alleged to have been taken by the defendants when their aunt believed that she was on her death bed. She recovered, but says she is unable to get back her gold. He Violated Postal Laws. Frank Erlckson was yesterday sentenced by Judge Lochren, of the raited States dis- trict court, in session at St. Paul, to two years in the Stillwater penitentiary. He pleaded guilty to the indictment of fraudu- lently opening a letter containing a check. Y. M. C. A. STUDENTS DINE Annual Banquet of the M B h( School at the Association Building* The fifth annual banquet of the Y. M. C. A. night school took place last even- ing at the association building, and was attended by over 200 men. The tfanquet marked the opening of the winter term of the school. The decorations were of flags and bunting, and the tables were decked with carnations. Mrs. R. F. Wes- ton and Mrs. J. R. Kingman superintend- ed the serving of courses by young ladies from the Wesley M. E. church. W. Y. Chute acted as toastmaster and the following gentlemen responded to toasts: C. S. Ward, C. V. Smith, S. S. Starring, General Secretary H. P. Goddard and Educational Director E. A. Purdy. A. G. Brookings, international secretary of the educational department, who was a guest, said that Minneapolis had one of the best evening schools in the country. Many features of the work he will introduce into the associations of other cities. GEN. BOOThM/VILL SPEAK Plans of the Volunteers' Leader for Sunday.

Mr. Mont- gomery will preside at this meeting, and General Fielding of the Volunteers will speak also. General Fielding will address a meeting at the Volunteer ball, 246 Hen- neiiia, Saturday evening. , THE MTSTSTEAPOLIS JOURNAL 1. There Ahead of the Mayor. NONE NEED APPLY Mayor Ames Shuts Down on the Delegation Business. , HUNDREDS STILL AFTER PLACES They Think the Patronage of the Mayor la Unlimited and Act Accordingly. Mayor Ames thinned the crowd about the city hall this morning by announcing at the eleventh hour that he would receive no more delegations in the interests of men discharged from the police foree at least at present. The mayor is swamped with people crowding upon him in apparently never-ending processions. Most of them want jobs, either the ones they lost or new ones which his honor has not to give. Therefore he will not be bothered by the hordes of people who only want to explain to him what a mistake he made in dis- charging this or that officer. As things are running now he has barely time to look at an official document, much less learn any- thing of its contents; such is the crush of people at his doors. When the mayor arrived this morning he had to force a passage through the nar- row hall leading to his private office. The crowd was so great that when the door was opened a portion of the throng was shoved into the room and had to be shoved out again. There were a few poor women in the crowd and they looked as though they would faint, but they held their places. To.several over-anxious individuals Sec- retary Brown explained in the politest manner possible that the mayor could not see them to-day in regard to their de- posed friends, the policemen. The mayor was very busy and had imoprtant matters pertaining to his official duties to attend to. But this explanation had little effect on the delegations. Each representative vowed that he "only wanted five minutes to set the mayor right." Mr. Secretary informed them that the mayor believed he was right when he made his appointments, and that he had not yet found any mistakes; they could not see the mayor. Sorrowfully, ruefully and dejectedly they filed out bowed down with a weight of woe unpleasant to witness. But the crowds kept coming and as fast as one lot of disappointed men was ushered out there were others to take their places. They were nearly all hungry for jobs of some kind, either for themselves or others. An Almost Tragic Feature. An almost tragic feature of the new ad- ministration is the hope that has been in- spired among many that the new mayor can give them work. This is a great mis- take; but hundreds of men in Minneapolis do not know that. They think because they voted for Dr. Ames that Mayor Ames can give them a job. The mayor Min- neapolis can do nothing of the kind. He has alomst no jobs to give out except those on the police force and those are now filled. The police department is now pretty near to the appropriation and there will be very few changes in the personnel of the force for many months to come. All Sorts of Places Asked. But the requests for places come prin- cipally from men who have no thought of being a policeman. They ask to be appointed watchmen, clerks, special offi- cers, stenographers t copyists, collectors. They want jobs in the waterworks de- partment, the city engineer's department, the city clerk's office, and in other municipal departments, and they are pro- ceeding on the assumption that the mayor has all of these places at his disposal. It will be a great thing for these mis- guided persons if they can be made to un- derstand that Mayor Ames has absolutely no jobs for them; that he could not get them a place in any of the departments mentioned if he wanted to never so bad- ly, and that it is worse than useless for them to ask him to do so. The mayor has almost nothing to do with employing help outside of his own office and in the police department, and there is no more room for t policemen. Misguided Pla«eseekers. Many poor laboring men have an Idea that the mayor can put them on city work. All euch work is done by the city engineer's department and the men hired are mostly recommended by the alder- men of the various wards. Secretary Brown said to-day that the mayor had received hundreds of appli- cations from poor men who were mis- taken in regard to the mayor's powers. The mayor will treat them all courteous- ly and do his best to explain matters to them, and he is willing to help them in any possible way to find work, but he has not a single position to fill. G. A. Powers Explains. G. A. Powers, who was yesterday re- ported to have resigned from the police force after a few short hours of service in the cold, says the report is a mistake; that he never went on duty, but tendered his resignation immediately upon being notified of his appointment. LOST ONLYJWO GAMES Wonderful Work of H. 3T. Plllsbury, the Chess Phenomenon. Charles E. Thayer and F. S. Lewie wer« the only players who bested H. N. Pills- bury at the Flour City Chess and Checker Club yesterday afternoon. As different players withdrew onlookers took their places, raising the total of the simul- taneous games played by Mr. Pillsbury to twenty. The lecture-room of the Y. M. C. A. last evening was crowded. Mr. Pillabury played sixteen boards of chess without looking at a single one of them. The tables were placed in two rows and Mr. Pillsbury sat at the end with his back to the contestants, calmly puffing the smoke from the cigar, and calling first the table | number and then his move. Occasionally he would suggest to a player a point or two that might have escaped notice. He won all of the games, except one with B. G. Thompson, champion of Minnesota, which was a draw. When it is considered that there were at least two friends of the player at each board and that Mr. Pills- bury was playing about forty-eight men, his performance appears the more won- derful. "POLITICSJWD MIKE" The 'I" Dally Has a Word About the "Great Fire." In an editorial on "Politics and 'Mike,' " the Minnesota Daily, the university pa- per, says: The beauty of the spoils system, carried to its logical extreme, has been exemplified by Mayor Ames in dropping one-hair the old police force of Minneapolis and putting green men—politicians and ward heelers—in the place of the old men, many of whom had been in the service for year*.

HILL CALLS HIS DEAL An Agreement Between Xorthwes't- ern Roads for Purposes of Economy Is His Object. New York, Jan. 10.—James J. Hill's every movement is being carefully watched by the men on the street ever since his arrival in town a few days ago. | Mr. Hill has met a number of prominent railroad men and ship builders. In an interview regarding his recent operations in St. Paul stock, Mr. Hill said his plans had been greatly exaggerated. Much had been printed that was absolutely untrue. "I did not come to New" York to see Mr. Morgan," said Mr. Hill. One of the main I objects of my trip is to consult with the contractors who are building two 'steam- ships at New London for my line. We \ need a large fleet for our lake traffic, as it ; is growing very rapidly, and we are having i two splendid vessels constructed, I am trying to arrange an agreement between i northwestern roads and prevent friction and make the - management of the roads more economical. In other words, a plan by which they may save money. The less friction there is between northwestern roads the better it will be for all of us. I am a believer in railroad consolidation, as it is advantageous. It is the inevita- ble policy of the roads sooner or later." U. P. \ORTH-WESTER\ Vamlerbilt Interests Working on a '. Big' Combination. >, \u0084 . New York, Jan. 10.—The Mail and Ex- ! press says: William K. Vanderbilt's plan for the welding together of the Union Pacific and Chicago &'North-Western rail- i roads, which* he conceived more than a year ago, is now about to be carried out. When it is completed it will be found that the Vanderbilts have a through trans- continental line of their own from the At- lantic to the Pacific ocean. Tim original scheme was to lease the Union Pacific to the North-Western, but it is not yet cer- tain whether this will be done or not. The control of the former is to be ac- 'quired through the .purchase of a majority of Union Pacific stock, and this is being done in the open market, which accounts for the. big Jump in price during the last two days. It was reported in .Wall street to-day that the new Union Pacific alliance would be still further enlarged by the addition of other railroads in the* central west, in- cluding tne Alton and Rock Island. \u25a0 ~r~- \u25a0\u25a0•-: ~~r' " / \u25a0 \u25a0 THROUGH KATES IX Coast Line Reductions Owing: to Three-Cent Fare*. The application of the 3-cent fare to Montana and Idaho by the Northern Pa- cific and the Great Northern a few days ago has been followed by the announce- ment of the through rates based on the reductions. These rates were promulgat- ed at a meeting of passenger officials of the coast lines yesterday afternoon, and are as follows: \u25a0 The north coast rate on thirty-day transportation, cut from $60 to $50; be- tween eastern terminals and Spokane it was reduced from $50 to $42.50; first-class rate from the twin cities to Helena and Butte was cut from $40 to $32.50. This, of course, means that the previous . limited first-class rates of $50 to the coast, of $45 to Spokane and $35 'to Helena will be dropped. The only change in west or east bound second-class business between the twin cities, Helena and Butte was a re- duction of the $30 rate to $37-50. Bettering the Grades. Clinton, lowa, Jan. 10.— Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul railway has begun work on ' their new track to be run from Sabula Junction to Browns Station, twenty-flve miles west. At present, the road makes a long swing to the south and rounds the bluffs at Elk River and then runs back northwest to a point west of Sabula. The grades are very heavy getting away from the river, and helpers have to be employed. The new road will be a double track to Green Island, and thence up to Maquoketa river and across the prairie to Browns, where it again strikes the main line to Council Bluff3 and Kansas City. The North-Western will rebuild 2,000 feet of their bridge across the river at this place. The spans to be replaced are one the east side of the island. Work has been begun with a force of fifty men. Terminals at Sioux City. Sioux City, lowa, Jan. 10.—The Great Northern Railway company and the Union Terminal Railway company, of Phil^lelphla, to-day concluded negotiations by \u25a0w?ich the railway will use the Union Terminal proper- ties here, including a $300,000 union passen- ger station, under a lease affected on the terms of the terminal company. - The Great Northern, in doing this, will terminate its use of the terminals and freight and passen- ger stations to the Chicago, Milwaukee &St. Paul railway, notwithstanding the recent ru- mored coalition between the two systems. Twenty Men to a Job. There are at least twenty applicants for every position which the state railroad and warehouse commission has to give. The scramble for place is participated in by men from all parts of the state, backed by legis- lators, prominent friends, petitions > and prayers. . Noth ng new has developed regard- ing the state grain ', Inspectorship. The Law and Scalper*. The legislature will probably be asked to pass a law making it a criminal offense for scalpers to deal in : forged or mutilated; tick- et*.

The members of the Thirteenth Minns- sota are interested in a movement, in- augurated by the First Washington volun- teers ' for additional compensation for service in the Philippines, the last ~ session at congress a bill was introduced i - porviding that all volunteers who served in the Philippines after- the : treaty of Paris was signed should be entitled to. pay as civilians from the date thereof; until their final muster out, and travel pay from the Philippines to San Francisco. The item. of . travel pay would amount from $500 to $750, and at the very reason- able compensation of from $1 to $1.50 per >.; day, the additional pay would be a very comfortable sum. The Washington volun- . > teers \u25a0: have interested the.. congressional ' delegation .in . the .movement, and the -'\u25a0. volunteers from other states who served ' in the Philippines have been requested to do the same. The members of the Thir- teenth : will probably hold a meeting lin ; the, near future to discuss the , matter. "Our < enlistment was for the war ; with Spain," said one of them to-day,'"and we are entitled -to . compensation . for service, \u25a0 from the signing of the treaty until mus- ':' tered out."

JOSHING THE NEW ONESA Mild Form of HaziiiH' Adminis-

tered to Policeman.

A patrolman walking his beat out onCedar avenue for the first time last night,had a mix-up with Young America thatthreatened to make a private citizen ofhim before morning, so great was hischagrin. The irrepressible small boy hadcongregated at a neighboring corner of hisbeat and silently lay in wait for thestrong arm of the law. Then, acting onthe theory that in union was strength.Young America made an attack as though

one man. The officer experienced at leasta few moments of warmth, freezing as hewas In clothing ill-fitted to protect himfrom exposure.

"Well, Jimmy, he is a copper and nomistake. Would you look at his star?"began one courageous young impudent.

"Say, has you'se got a Ames button onyour vest? Naw, he's got a star! Well,what do you'se think of that?"

With such little pleasantries did theycheapen the dignity of the office of thenewly appointed policeman. To remon-strate with them was out of the question.The officer was outnumbered thirty to

one. All that he could do was to bow hishead to the whole gamut of street gamin"roasting" and escape as soon as possible.

WANT THEIR MONEYThree Discharged Policemen Apply

to the Relief Association.

The Police Relief association met lastnight, and it was indeed a melancholygathering. Six of the ten officers of theassociation are no longer members of theforce. The unfortunates are TreasurerBuerfenning and Directors Kaehn, Mc-Xulty, Glng, Lackey, Leonard and Ken-nedy.

Three members of the association put inrequests last night for the $1,000 insur-ance money which goes with retirementfrcm the force. They are William Dunn,William Daily and James Monitor, all ofwhom were discharged by Mayor Ames. Itis necessary to prove total disability inorder to draw on the association for the51,000 insurance.

H. F. STEVENS IS PRESTState Bar Association Is Revivified

and Prepares for ,Baiilness.Minnesota's bar association, -which has

been slumbering for many years, was" re-vived yesterday. i A number of j the lead-ing attorneys of the state met In the sen-ate chamber of the capitol yesterday andelected officers as. follows: President,Hiram F. Stevens, St. Paul; vice-presi-dent, M. B. Webber, Winona; secretary,Stiles W. Burr, St. Paul; treasurer, F. V.Brown, Minneapolis; board of governors,T. Young, Appleton; Augustus Armstrong,Albert Lea; F. W. Gail, Stillwater; L. F.Lammers, Heron Lake; S. D. Catherwood,Austin; Halvor Steenerson,. Crookstonand J. G. Williams, Duluth. \u25a0

A committee consisting of Messrs. Gail,Webber, Brown, Lammers and Ericksonwas authorized to prepare a bill for therevision of the statutes of Minnesotawhich have not been revised since 1886.The bill will provide for the appointmentof a commission which will submit itsreport to the legislature of 1903. The as-sociation placed itself on record as favor-ing a bill authorizing the disciplining ofmembers of the bar and one relating toappeals to the supreme court. • The latteris intended to reduce the expense of ap-peals. 1 Committees will be appointed tolook after these and other matters of in-terest.

CROWDED TO THE DOORSHennepin Aye. M. E. Church Filled

at ('rossley-Hunter Meetings.

The Crossley-Hunter revival meetinglast night at the Hennepin Avenue M. E.church was not only attended by an audi-ence which filled every nook and corner ofthe large auditorium, but was perhaps themost interesting and spiritual of any ofthe meetings held thus far. Not less thanthirty-four seekers crowded to the frontat the end of the meeting. This is by farthe largest number that has come forwardat any one meeting in this series and theminsters in charge of the movement arefeeling very much encouraged at the pros-pects of a revival such as has perhaps nev-er been seen in Minneapolis.

The meetings will be held in the Hen-nepin Avenue M. E. church to-night andto-morrow night, after which time theywill probably be transferred to Wesleychurch.

DODGING THE FROSTThe Annual Exodus to California

Is Now in Progress.

TRAVEL HEAVIER THAN USUAL

All the Hon. l- Running Special

. Through Car* Which AreWell Pilled.

All the roads handling California busi-ness report a heavy exodus or tourists tothe land "where ceaseless summersmiles," and every traveler is asked to puta little money In an oil well. The travelto Los Angeles and common points hasbeen quite good this season owing to thefavorable railroad rates and the superioraccommodations furnished by the variouslines. The winter tourist business hasgrown wonderfully in the last few years,and it is now quite the correct thing tospend a portion of iae winter in anequable climate where the sun shinesevery day when it isn't raining, and wherenearly everybody has money. The fact isthat generally speaking they could not getto California unless they had bank bal-ances and remain there any length of time.But there is no denying the pleasures ofCalifornia especially to a Minnesota manwho has never forgotten the old-timeblizzards. His observations concerningthose awful manifestations of the ele-ments still darken his mind, and renderhim unable to grasp the fact that Minne-sota is getting a good deal like Missouriduring the winter months. But he doesn'tknow that, but sees in every snow fall re-minders of the blizzard of his boyhood,the blizzard of the bare prairies when aman couldn't cross the street of a Min-nesota.or Dakota town without gettinglost, and when snow drifts hid the tops

of the telegraph poles, as was the caseat Bird Island a few years ago. But allthis has passed and the general salubrious-ness of the Minnesota climate is admitted.However, the snappy weather whichchases the mercury below the freezingpoint is not considered good for old folksand people who hate all kinds of winterweather, so for them the California tour-ist rates of the railroads are a source ofdelight.

The tourists are taken through .to LosAngeles in special cars, each road run-ning one or more cars a week. The M. &St. L. had a full carload of tourists out lastTuesday en route for Los Angeles viaKansas City and the Santa Fe. This trip-consumes three days and a half, and a carmakes the trip every Tuesday. Anothercar of the St. Louis leaves Minneapolisevery Thursday going via Omaha, Denverand Salt Lake.

The Milwaukee and the Omaha, run finecars weekly and have met with excellentsuccess thus far. Their bookings for thisweek, as well as those of the St. Louis,show splendid results. The Great West-ern, too, has cars out three days in theweek, and reports good business.

The tourists comprise people from allparts of the state and the Dakotas. whocome to the twin cities to avail themselvesof the favorable rates.

CAUGHT IN TRANSITCaptain M. L. McCormick arrived in St.

Paul a few days ago from Seattle. Mr. Mc-Cormick was ior years a resident of NorthDakota. Later he went to British Columbiaand when the Nome country was opened hemigrated there. He came down in one of thelast boats arriving at Seattle in November.

"'I consider the country one of thftrichest in the world," said the captain, "andonly a small portion of the prospects have asyet been scratched. I will return there earlyin the spring. I saw a statement in thepapers a few days ago to the effect thatthe whole country is in litigation. That isdrawing it rather broadly. There is somelitigation there, to be sure, and litigationthat is litigation, but it don't involve th<»whole country, nor all of the prospects, notat all.

"Judge Noyes' advent along with a codeof laws and courts for the country was wel-comed. Noyes was placed in a difficult posi-tion, but he has acquitted himself well. Ihave known him personally for years. Idiffer with him in politics, but I consider thathe has done his duty and done it well and thepeople «f Nome generally are of that mind.

'Governor Brady, I see, is afraid of blood-shed. The governor is a little too fearful. Ihave been through the northwest pretty wellin days when it was new, and been in agreat many new mining camps, and I neversaw a more peaceful camp than Nome. Thereis no more danger of bloodshed in Nomethan there is any town in the states."

J. C. Berthwick of Duluth is here. He isone of the candidates for surveyor general inthe Duluth district. His best word 1s thatit would be a good thing for the delegation toget together.

G. S. Newberry of Carrington, N. D., Is atthe Vendome. Mr. Newherry is cashier inthe Belaeker-Davidson bank at Carrington.He states that although the crop may havebeen short in some sections of the state, yetthe fact that her farmers were not callingloudly for loans in those sections was proofthat they were able to stand a short croponce in a while.

H. J. Hellekson, Andrew Peterson and Ro-land Tisdel of Wheaton, are in Minneapolis.They came down to look on at the senatorialflght.

J. P. Mullen of Litchfteld is here buyinga new stock of goods. He believes that Litch-field and the neighboring towns are due fora good trade this year. He is at the Nicollet.

Joseph Meyer, state oil Inspector for SouthDakota, is at the Xicollet. Mr. Meyer Is apopulist, and. as the republican administra-tion has taken the reins in. South Dakota, heexpects his official cares to cease soon. Dur-ing the campaign, when the republicans wereclaiming that they would carry the state andoffering to take bets on it. Mr. Meyer mailed$25 to a friend to place for him on the re-sult. He forgot to stamp the letter, and Intime it found Ha way to Washington to beopened at the department. His money wasreturned to him a few days ago, and Mr.Meyer thinks it is worth something to belucky. Had the stamp been affixed, someboastful republican politician would havehad the funds for his own the day afterelection.

Walker Smith, president, and S. S. Tilus,cashier, of the First National Bank of GrandForks, K. D., and George B. Clifford of thesame place, are in the city attending a meet-ing of the board of directors of the Creamof Wheat company. Mr. Clifford is one ofthe people whose early faith in Grand Forksand North Dakota was of a substantial na-ture, and he believes that the next ten yearswill see wonders accomplished in the devel-opment of his state.

W. N. Parkhurst or Kindred, N. D., is atthe Nlcollet. Mr. Parkhurst is extensivelyengaged in farming and states that the farm-ers of his section are making preparations toincrease the flax acreage this year.

Attorney J. J. Youngblood of Feesenden,N. D., is in the city. He states that muchof the territory west of the Soo line hasbeen taken by actual settlers, with manymore newcomers expected this spring.

Mayor McPbail of Uangdon, N. D., is here,accompanied by his family. The Barry mur-der has the board-s up that way and thelegislature is almost forgotten. Mr. Mc-Puail says that this will be a big year inthe development of the northern part of thestate.

LIND AS A PUGILISTHis Affair With Editor Black Causes

Much Talk.

BUT TWO BLOWS DELIVERED

The Former Governor Wanted a Re-traction for Being Called

v Traitor.

The Llnd-Black affray is the one topicof conversation in hotel and capitol cor-ridors in St. Paul to-day. The senatorialcontest is a minor consideration for oneday, at least. While some sympathy isexpressed for Black, the general sentimentseejms to be for Lind. There is somethingabout a man who wipes out an affront withhis fists that appeals to Americans everytime.

The incident probably would not haveleaked out for days had not Lind told areporter. As far as the Dispatch was con-cerned, absolute secrecy was kept. Theex-governor was not at all reticent aboutthe matter this morning. He makes thefollowing statement of the affair:

Last summer the Dispatch, at a time whenthere were no political questions at stake,called me a traitor, and I will whip any d—dman who calls me a traitor. When one be-comes so effeminate that he will not fightwnen called a traitor, it is time him tosell up and get out.

I sent word to Mr. Black by Mr, Bell, oneof his reporters, requesting him to withdrawthe charge. I told him 1 did not care aboutthe political abuse he might heap upon me,but that I resented the charge of treason.Well, no action was taken in the matter, al-though Mr. Bell told me he delivered themessage as I had given it to him.

After I got through at the capitol to-dayI went down and called Black's attention tothe incident and asked why he didn't makeamends. Black told me he did not under-stand that the demand for a retraction camefrom me, but that he was under the impres-sion it came from Mr. Rosiug. I said I be-lieved Mr. Bell a truthful man. He had toldme he delivered my message as I gave it tohim, and that I preferred to take Bell'sword.

Black made some insulting remaks, and Islapped him a couple of times. I asked himif he wanted any more, and he said he hadhad enough. I was about to retire when someone came up behind me and caught me bytne arm. I cried that it was unfair. I can-not say whether i struggled loose or if thesecond man released his hold voluntarily.At all events, I stepped out and left thebuilding.

Mr. Lind is very emphatic in denyingthat there was a ring upon his fingerwhen he struck Black, or that he struckhim on the nose. He said:

I never wore a. ring, and I was carefulwhere I struck him. 1 had no wish to dis-figure him, and a blow on the nose, adminis-tered with the arm with which I do all mywork might not result nicely. I imagineBlack cut his nose when he fell behind t*helittle bookcase. At all events, I did not strikehim on the nose. Indeed, I only slapped himand he fell over.

Black's Side of It.Black's story differs slightly in some

particulars. He says:Lind came in here and demanded a retrac-

tion. I told him that he had uo retractioncoming. He then said that he was a pri-vate citizen, and I said, "yes, thank God,"and then he struck me.

I did not want to get into a row with himfor two reasons. In the first place, he hasbut one arm, and in the second place he saidhe would kill me, and I was a little afraidhe might do it.

There was only one witness to the af-fair, Alex Caldwell, a Dispatch reporter,who was attracted to the scene by thenoise of the knock down, but did not ar-rive in time to see either blow. The twoprincipals are the only ones who (.an tes-tifyof the conversation that led up to thefight. It is evident, though, that Lindwas rather warm in his demand for a re-traction, and that Black retorted verycurtly, and received the reproof valiant inhis eye.

THE MTSTSTEAPOLIS JOURNAL 1.

There Ahead of the Mayor.

NONE NEED APPLYMayor Ames Shuts Down on the

Delegation Business. ,

HUNDREDS STILL AFTER PLACES

They Think the Patronage of theMayor la Unlimited and Act

Accordingly.

Mayor Ames thinned the crowd about thecity hall this morning by announcing at theeleventh hour that he would receive nomore delegations in the interests of mendischarged from the police foree —at leastat present. The mayor is swamped withpeople crowding upon him in apparentlynever-ending processions. Most of themwant jobs, either the ones they lost ornew ones which his honor has not to give.Therefore he will not be bothered by thehordes of people who only want to explainto him what a mistake he made in dis-charging this or that officer. As things arerunning now he has barely time to look atan official document, much less learn any-thing of its contents; such is the crush ofpeople at his doors.

When the mayor arrived this morninghe had to force a passage through the nar-row hall leading to his private office. Thecrowd was so great that when the doorwas opened a portion of the throng wasshoved into the room and had to be shovedout again. There were a few poor womenin the crowd and they looked as thoughthey would faint, but they held theirplaces.

To.several over-anxious individuals Sec-retary Brown explained in the politestmanner possible that the mayor could notsee them to-day in regard to their de-posed friends, the policemen. The mayorwas very busy and had imoprtant matterspertaining to his official duties to attendto. But this explanation had little effecton the delegations.

Each representative vowed that he "onlywanted five minutes to set the mayorright." Mr. Secretary informed them thatthe mayor believed he was right when hemade his appointments, and that he hadnot yet found any mistakes; they could notsee the mayor. Sorrowfully, ruefully anddejectedly they filed out bowed down witha weight of woe unpleasant to witness.

But the crowds kept coming and as fastas one lot of disappointed men was usheredout there were others to take their places.They were nearly all hungry for jobs ofsome kind, either for themselves or others.

An Almost Tragic Feature.An almost tragic feature of the new ad-

ministration is the hope that has been in-spired among many that the new mayorcan give them work. This is a great mis-take; but hundreds of men in Minneapolisdo not know that. They think becausethey voted for Dr. Ames that Mayor Amescan give them a job. The mayor o£ Min-neapolis can do nothing of the kind. Hehas alomst no jobs to give out except thoseon the police force and those are now filled.The police department is now pretty nearto the appropriation and there will be veryfew changes in the personnel of the forcefor many months to come.

All Sorts of Places Asked.

But the requests for places come prin-cipally from men who have no thoughtof being a policeman. They ask to beappointed watchmen, clerks, special offi-cers, stenographers

t copyists, collectors.They want jobs in the waterworks de-partment, the city engineer's department,the city clerk's office, and in othermunicipal departments, and they are pro-ceeding on the assumption that the mayorhas all of these places at his disposal.It will be a great thing for these mis-guided persons if they can be made to un-derstand that Mayor Ames has absolutelyno jobs for them; that he could not getthem a place in any of the departmentsmentioned if he wanted to never so bad-ly, and that it is worse than useless forthem to ask him to do so. The mayorhas almost nothing to do with employinghelp outside of his own office and in thepolice department, and there is no moreroom for t policemen.

Misguided Pla«eseekers.Many poor laboring men have an Idea

that the mayor can put them on citywork. All euch work is done by the cityengineer's department and the men hiredare mostly recommended by the alder-men of the various wards.

Secretary Brown said to-day that themayor had received hundreds of appli-cations from poor men who were mis-taken in regard to the mayor's powers.The mayor will treat them all courteous-ly and do his best to explain matters tothem, and he is willingto help them inany possible way to find work, but he hasnot a single position to fill.

G. A. Powers Explains.

G. A. Powers, who was yesterday re-ported to have resigned from the policeforce after a few short hours of servicein the cold, says the report is a mistake;that he never went on duty, but tenderedhis resignation immediately upon beingnotified of his appointment.

LOST ONLYJWO GAMESWonderful Work of H. 3T. Plllsbury,

the Chess Phenomenon.Charles E. Thayer and F. S. Lewie wer«

the only players who bested H. N. Pills-bury at the Flour City Chess and CheckerClub yesterday afternoon. As differentplayers withdrew onlookers took theirplaces, raising the total of the simul-taneous games played by Mr. Pillsbury totwenty.

The lecture-room of the Y. M. C. A.last evening was crowded. Mr. Pillaburyplayed sixteen boards of chess withoutlooking at a single one of them. Thetables were placed in two rows and Mr.Pillsbury sat at the end with his back tothe contestants, calmly puffing the smokefrom the cigar, and calling first the table

| number and then his move. Occasionallyhe would suggest to a player a point or twothat might have escaped notice. He wonall of the games, except one with B. G.Thompson, champion of Minnesota, whichwas a draw. When it is considered thatthere were at least two friends of theplayer at each board and that Mr. Pills-bury was playing about forty-eight men,his performance appears the more won-derful.

"POLITICSJWD MIKE"The 'I" Dally Has a Word About

the "Great Fire."

In an editorial on "Politics and 'Mike,' "the Minnesota Daily, the university pa-per, says:

The beauty of the spoils system, carriedto its logical extreme, has been exemplifiedby Mayor Ames in dropping one-hair the oldpolice force of Minneapolis and putting greenmen—politicians and ward heelers—in theplace of the old men, many of whom hadbeen in the service for year*. ''Mike" Ryan,who has been on the force since 1878, andhas had the beat in this section of the city,was one those to feel the headsman's ax.It is said that "Mike's" only offense was tosalute a man thought to be a democrat onemorning during the campaign.

A PLAN TO SAVE MONEYWHAT J. J. HILL CALLS HIS DEAL

An Agreement Between Xorthwes't-ern Roads for Purposes of

Economy Is His Object.

New York, Jan. 10.—James J. Hill'severy movement is being carefullywatched by the men on the street eversince his arrival in town a few days ago. |Mr. Hill has met a number of prominentrailroad men and ship builders. In aninterview regarding his recent operationsin St. Paul stock, Mr. Hill said his planshad been greatly exaggerated. Much hadbeen printed that was absolutely untrue."I did not come to New" York to see Mr.Morgan," said Mr. Hill. One of the main Iobjects of my trip is to consult with thecontractors who are building two 'steam-ships at New London for my line. We \need a large fleet for our lake traffic, as it;is growing very rapidly, and we are having itwo splendid vessels constructed, I amtrying to arrange an agreement between inorthwestern roads and prevent frictionand make the -management of the roadsmore economical. In other words, a planby which they may save money. The lessfriction there is between northwesternroads the better it will be for all of us. Iam a believer in railroad consolidation,as it is advantageous. It is the inevita-ble policy of the roads sooner or later."

.New York, Jan. 10.—The Mail and Ex- !

press says: William K. Vanderbilt's planfor the welding together of the UnionPacific and Chicago &'North-Western rail- iroads, which* he conceived more than ayear ago, is now about to be carried out.When it is completed it will be foundthat the Vanderbilts have a through trans-continental line of their own from the At-lantic to the Pacific ocean. Tim originalscheme was to lease the Union Pacific tothe North-Western, but it is not yet cer-tain whether this will be done or not.The control of the former is to be ac-

'quired through the .purchase of a majorityof Union Pacific stock, and this is beingdone in the open market, which accountsfor the. big Jump in price during the lasttwo days.

It was reported in .Wall street to-day

that the new Union Pacific alliance wouldbe still further enlarged by the additionof other railroads in the* central west, in-cluding tne Alton and Rock Island.

THROUGH KATES IX

Coast Line Reductions Owing: to

Three-Cent Fare*.

The application of the 3-cent fare toMontana and Idaho by the Northern Pa-cific and the Great Northern a few daysago has been followed by the announce-ment of the through rates based on thereductions. These rates were promulgat-ed at a meeting of passenger officials ofthe coast lines yesterday afternoon, andare as follows: \u25a0

The north coast rate on thirty-daytransportation, cut from $60 to $50; be-tween eastern terminals and Spokane itwas reduced from $50 to $42.50; first-classrate from the twin cities to Helena andButte was cut from $40 to $32.50. This, ofcourse, means that the previous . limitedfirst-class rates of $50 to the coast, of $45to Spokane and $35 'to Helena will bedropped. The only change in west or eastbound second-class business between thetwin cities, Helena and Butte was a re-duction of the $30 rate to $37-50.

Bettering the Grades.Clinton, lowa, Jan. 10.— Chicago, Mil-

waukee & St. Paul railway has begun workon ' their new track to be run from SabulaJunction to Browns Station, twenty-flve mileswest. At present, the road makes a longswing to the south and rounds the bluffs at

Elk River and then runs back northwest toa point west of Sabula. The grades are veryheavy getting away from the river, andhelpers have to be employed. The new roadwill be a double track to Green Island, andthence up to Maquoketa river and across theprairie to Browns, where it again strikes themain line to Council Bluff3and Kansas City.

The North-Western will rebuild 2,000 feetof their bridge across the river at this place.The spans to be replaced are one the eastside of the island. Work has been begunwith a force of fifty men.

sota are interested in a movement, in-augurated by the First Washington volun-teers ' for additional compensation forservice in the Philippines, the last ~session at congress a bill was introduced i -porviding that all volunteers who servedin the Philippines after- the : treaty ofParis was signed should be entitled to.pay as civilians from the date thereof;until their final muster out, and travelpay from the Philippines to San Francisco.

The item. of. travel pay would amountfrom $500 to $750, and at the very reason-able compensation of from $1 to $1.50 per >.;day, the additional pay would be a verycomfortable sum.
