PROFIIING BY EXPERIENCE.
What Should be Done in Order to Enable
the Cities to Help Each Other.

Every calamity has it's lessons of experience,
which, if duly improved will lead to the preven-
ton Or mitigation of the disaster. The late
Minneapolis catastrophe has not been wanting
in its precepts, which it behooves all concerned
to read, mark, learn, inwardly digest, and i'm
mediately act upon practically. The failure
of the readily and willingly pro-offered assist
of the St. Paul fire department. to reach
the scene of the conhagration in the sister city.
by reason of the want of prompt and adequate
railroad transportation, must ever afford it's
startling lessons. The best intentions and i'm
mediate action of Mayor Maxfeld and of the
fire department. as well as the sincerest wishes
to succor entertained by all St. Paul, were COM
pletely and irrctrievable frustrated
by lack of railroad facilities in
embarking and conveying the engines,
men and materials generously and instantly
detailed in response to the appeal for help
which Minneapolis approximately sent over
the wires. 1t is not the province of the pres
emit to inquire at whose door the responsibility
for the dire failure is to be placed That is
scarcely now a pertinent question, but there
remains the grim fact that failure did occur
together with the contingency that it may hap
pen again, if proper remedies are not applied
to prevent it. Some action must be taken, and
that right here and now, to enable these twin
cities to render mutual aid when dire confla-
grafton overtakes one or the other. This can
be accomplished by simply having, in each
city, concerted railroad point to which fire.

CANTASSING THE VOTE.

Special Meeting of the City Council-The
Figures the Same as Those Given by the
"Globe" Yesterday-John Thomson Con-
tests j. G. Donnelly's Election to the
School Board.
A special meeting of the council was held
yesterday afternoon to canvass the votes OF
Tuesdays election. Before proceeding with
the canvass, Mr.. J, J. Egan, upon permission,
addressed the council and objected to the can
vass of the votes of the First ward upon the
ground that the council had no authority to
make such canvass. He said in explanation of
his written protest, that there might be such
authority, but in the examination he had made
he had been unable to find such authority. To
an inquiry of the city attorney Mr.. Eagan said
that he claimed for his client that he was the
duly elected school inspector of the first pre-
cinct of the First ward. The protest filed is
as follows:

City of St. Paul. acting Board of Can
yassers:

Inauguration of An Important Event for
the Breeding Interests of the State.
The rapid expansion and improvement of the

the most encouraging features of its growth
and developments. Though young in years,
and located way out the frontier in what
but few years ago was considered a most in
hospitable region, too cold for anything but
State, through the enterprise and sagacity
of some of its citizens, fortu-
nately scattered through all sections, is
rapidly taking front rank in the breeding of
fine stock, especially horses, and to-day stands
ahead of very many much older States, and a
good second to the very best breeding commu-
mites of the country.
natural adjunct of the breeding of fine
horses. is the turf, where his speed, endurance,
gameness, tractability and other qualities
going to make a perfect animal are DEVELOPED
and brought to public attention. In sections
where running is the favorite turf sport, prom
Using animals are put to work in their two year
| old form, their performances at that age and
the following year especially being watched
with particular interest by breeders, as a
guide in their operations. Here
thorough horsemen breed for that gait to a
greater or lesser extent. Such being the case
| it has always seemed strange to the writer that
the leading breeders, the gentlemen of means
who have invested largely in securing stations
from the best trotting sires in the country, did
not unite in holding at least an annual meet

But new departures are generally of slow
growth, and in this case there has been no ex.
ception to the general rule. The idea has been
terminating for years. 1t found partial
expression two years ago in the
| stake race between Hon. VIM. s. King and
G. A. DeGraff, ESQ.,, which unfortunately fell
| through by the breaking down of Col. Kings
colt. Since then the idea has slumbered until
now, by the action of a few of the leading breed.

the respective authorities of the st. Paul and
Minneapolis fire departments. The hose and
hydrant couplings in the two cities do not cor
respond. This little fact is all-important, as
it would effectually debar any reciprocal fire
service. Each city should be provided with
graduated couplings, and the two departments
would thus become, substantially, glorious
and effective unit. These suggestions are of
