NEW STATE PRISON.

"A Trip to Inspect the Quarries at st. Cloud
and Sauk Rapids-COmmittee Meeting
Last Night-Numerous Applications Put
ln-Every Place Superior to All Others
mo Selection the Probable Result.
Considering the object in view, the visit of
the committee on the location of new State
prison, to st. Cloud and vicinity, may be de-
nominated as most unqualified success. They
desired to view the granite resources Of the
above locality, and the almost illimitable ex-
panse OF that material which rewarded their
gaze, must have satisfied the longing to a de-
gree bordering on safety.
The committee left St. Paul at 7:3O o'clock
yesterday morning, occupying a special car
provided by the superintendent of the St.
Paul d Pacific railroad.
Inc party was in charge of Speaker Gilman
ana Mr.. Delano, and consisted of twenty-eiph
members of the House and three from the
Senate, being also accompanied by Lieut.-Gov.
Wakefield.
After ride of five hours, which was remark
ably barren Of noteworthy Incidents, the train
drew up at the Watab quarries, eight miles
west OF st. Cloud, and eighty miles west of
St. Paul.
At o'clock the party were met by carriages
and conveyed to the quarries situated three
quarters OF a mile from the railroad and three
and a half miles west of St. Cloud. The visi-
tors then returned to st. Cloud, where
a substantial dinner was served
After dinner the Sauk Rapids quarries were
inspected. Granite from this quarry is sus-
ceptible of being wrought into the most im-
posing monuments, and when highly polished
1T bears close resemblance to marble taken
from the famous quarries of Aberdeen. The
supply of all these quarries is inexhaustible.
The party returned to st. Paul a few minutes
before last evening.

PRISON INVESTIGATION EPISODE

An Indiana Incident That MAY Perhaps
Prove Warning to the Minnesota Com
mittee Visiting Saltwater To-Day.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. 12.-An exciting episode
occurred in the prison investigation commit
tees room at Jeffersovile, Ind, during the .ex-
animation of one of the witnesses named
Thompson, whom it was reported on hearsay
had stated that convicts in the prison had been
dressed in citizens clothes and sent out to vote
against Republicans, afterwards returned to the
prison and assumed the convict's
garb Captain Carter, of the
legislative investigating committee, denied
that the man his witness, inasmuch as
Thompson pronounced the story false, stating
that in joking way with DR.. Lewman he had
used the expression merely as a Joke. Carter's
denial OF all knowledge of this witness elected
sharp comment from Willard of misrepre sent
ing the State and acting as an ATTORNEY against
the State whose rights he had sworn to protect.
10 this charge Willard responded to
Carter: You arc id liar if
you say this This Willard repeated
two or three times when Carter started for hi m

grit, and was ready for the attack and the par.

MORE WITNESSES,t


WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The Potter committee
has summoned Coyle, of New York; Wooley of
Cincinnati; Solomon, of South Carolina; and
Dunn, of Florida.
AN INTIMIDATED WITNESS.
The Teller committee to-day examined Gen.
Reuben E. Davis, of Mississippi. Among the
auditors were Senator Bruce and Representa-
tives Muldrow, Hooker, Chalmers and Money,
of that State. Gen. Davis testified he was a
candidate for Congress in the late election from
the First district. He had been informed pri-
vately of threats to prevent him from being
heard. The idea prevailed he was endeavoring
to reorganize the negroes in opposition to the
Democrats. After election heard he had been
hung in effgy and then burned. He was a
Greenback candidate, having been nominated
by that party In opposition to his own wishes,
and voted for by cvlored people who under
stood their interests on that question. He was
at tlrst Informed he had been elected, but was
afterwards told Muldrow was successful.
Senator Garland, of the committee, asked
witness whether he did not once make speech
IN Congress about hanging Northern men.
Witness replied that he did in December, 1877.
1t was during consideration of an election case.
In that speech he arraigned the Republicans as
rebels, and said if Seward would go South and
utter such sentiments as he entertained and he
had frequently used, he (witness) thought the
pSoPAo WOu1u AduS ulW DeIOTe ne T6Cu1neO
North. Witness added: I was kicked out of
the Democ1atic party when boy in 1885. 1
have since been kicked out on the currency
question and now I am out of the party by
force.
Senator Garland called the attention of wit
ness to his testimony before the Boutwell, COM
mlttee IN 1876 The witness said he endorsed
every word he then uttered. He had said the
radicals were bulldozers and they operated on
negroes by superstition, threatening to put
snakes and lizards into them. The Democrats
now are obnoxious to what he then said Of the
radicals. white man could not vote in the
South against tho Democracy without being
ostracised, but I dread the assassin
even more than I do ostracism.
He believed the great majority in his
district was against bulldozing and ballot-box
stutting, but there was class Of ambitious as
plrlng men, who sought to render all persons
odious who do not adopt their views. He
claimed by a fair count he could have beaten
Col. Muldrow by 10000 votes. Recent events
had developed the fact that we have the weak
est government on earth. You can legislate,
and yet you cannot protect me, and in case of
death by violence you cannot give my wife and
children a pension. People can say, ''Your
laws we defy and scorn," and yet you compel
men to testify on subjects which may subject
them to personal violence. Adjourned.
DIsLoYAL CLAIMS.
The Republican Senators in caucus agreed
that besides the annual appropriation bills
Edmunds' constitutional amendment to pro-
hibit payment Of disloyal claims should be
pressed to final action.

By That Means Hayes appointments IN the
Ne,U Yorh; Custom Hoassc We're Confirmed
presidential Pets Cared For.
Washington Special (Feb. g. to Chicago
Times.
I'm my opinion, said a certain well-known
Senator, not a Democrat, this afternoon, ssthere
never was. in the history of the Senate, any
more explicit bargain and sale than has been
made during the late contest over the New
York appointments between John Sherman and
Conkling.' Such expressions as these are
among the current gossip upon the floor of the
Senate chamber. Ever since the fight has
ended, every appointment that comes into the
Senate is closely scrutinized with view of
seeing If any of the men who have voted right
have beeh rewarded. So to-day when three
good postmasterships and a marshalship for
Michigan came in following the change in the
called this the second installment of Ferry's
reward for his joining the administration
Such sweeping change is rarely made in a
State without some pronounced cause.
MARTIN I. TOWNSEND,
the white-haired heavy humorist of the Repub-
hcan side, was to-day sent In as district at
torney for the northern district of New York
MIR. Townsend was not returned by his con-
stltuents. When Hayes was first seated Town
send was one of his most bitter opponents
About year ago he became reconciled to the
administration and has been one of Mr.. Hayes'
most devoted friends. Mr. Townsend has
visited frequently at the White House, and
has assisted at Mr.. Hayes receptions, Mr..
Townsend is good lawyer and lost vigorous
friend. It is said that his speech in the House
of a few days ago upon the Democratic crv of
fraud made him certain of the appointments
that came in to-day.
N. P. BANKS
was also upon this day sent in as marshal of
the Massachusetts, district. Mr.. Banks also
failed of reelection. He is now we'll along in
years. and prefers to remain at home to going
abroad upon any mission. He is penniless,
and incapable of taking care of himself, hence
the necessity of a reasonably good appoint
ment to stand waiting for him as soon as his
term of Congressional Office expires
oaLEsBY AND coNovER.
Republican Senators say to-day that both
Oglesby and Conover will secure appointments
within a few days. Oglesby is to have q
foreign mission, just where is not vet deter
mined. Conover has been promised something
good out in the wild West. It ia even said
that Conover may be given seventh-class
mission.
1T is McMillan's turn next was one of the
pleasant comments this afternoon in speaking
of to-morrow's appointments. Mcmillan has
received the most personal criticism of anv
Senator. He voted with Conkling in the com
mittee and opposed him in the Senate. How
much he got for trading in the face of the
enemy is one of the questions that interests
