THE BUSY BEES.
The Meeting Of the Northwestern Bee
Union misunderstanding Proceed

The Meeting Of the Northwestern Bee
Union Yesterday-Interestlng Proceed
ings.
The Northwestern Bee union held q suppressed
buzz at the capitol, yesterday. The president, G.
Caspar, Of Stearns county; the secretary, F. B.
Dougherty, of Taylors Falls; Rev. J. J. Teter, st.
Paul, and Jasper N Searles, Dakota county, Of the
executive committee and some half dozen others
were in attendance. The reason more didn't swarm
to the convention arose from the fact of q con-
fusion of dates; many thought the meeting was set
for the second Tuesday of December, the 9Th inst,
rather than Tuesday, the I'd inst However, the few
in attendance got down to o moderate degree
Of business, nothing in q formal way. Owing to the
absence of so many members of the Union, it was
concluded wisely to omit the reading Of all set papers
and not to provoke any prolonged discussion.
To put in the time instructvely an exhibit of sup
al hives were exhibited and inspected, besides
siderable bee literature was casually glanced at and
handled over, distributed among those in attend
ance for careful perusal.
Mr.. Searles presented the subject Of sub-ventila-
ton for winter keeping Of bees, and had diagram
of a mode suggested by parties in Chicago. This
was closely inspected and no little interest was
evinced in the subject of keeping bees through the
winter, and the proper modes Of ventilation to be
adopted, without the Introduction Of cold air, etc.
Other matters Of particular interest to bee
were discussed, wholly in colloquial way, but which
interested all present.
There no little disappointment Of the slim at
tendance, which from the mistake stated above
but to obviate it the meeting adjourned until May
Is, $780, the convention then to be held in Hastings.

THE MAINE MUSS,
Another Republican Effort to Manufacture
Public Sentiment.

Public Sentiment.
AUGUSTA, Maine, Dec. 3.-Oharles Rounds,
county attorney for the county of Washington.
has addressed letter to the Governor and
council referring to their refusal to allow in
spection of returns, on the ground, as expressed
by the Governor, that no constitutional power
exists for making corrections. Rounds offers,
on behalf of the Republican Senators elect
from Washington county, if the board will
open the subject for investigation, to prove
that in case of returns from the Democratic
towns for Senators and Representatives there
have been changes m de, that these changes
were made to supply defects discovered by
surreptitious and premature openings of the
returns, and that they must involve in some
form collision or conuivance of persons con-
nected with the State government. The wit
nesses he desires to have summoned are prin-
cipally persons connected with the State gov
eminent, officers in Democratic towns and
few others who have competent knowledge on
which to testify.
AUGUSTA, Maine, Dec. ST. G.. Parker,
chairman of the committee to which was re-
ferred the protest of Senators and Representa-
tives, reports to the Governor and council that
said protest contains several important mis-
answer given to the request. for examine

and Representatives from Androscoggin
county, with a view to correcting errors that
might be therein, was the following: The
council unanimously respond that as at present
advised the constitution does not provide for
such alterations. This was the only
answer given them and no statement like that
quoted in the protest was made. The only re-
quest made by the gentlemen signing the
protest was the one specified, and the
only answer given them was the one before
mentioned. The committee refer to the matter
of bringing the subject Of inspecting the re-
turns before court and have no Couht tho

Los PINos, Dec. 3.-Yesterday witnessed the
first success of the commissioners. Colarow,

testimony and then voluntarily surrendered
himself prisoner in the following speech:
"Gep. Adams has been an agent of ours, and is
now an officer of the United States. Gen.
Hatch is high officer of the government.
Ouray, you are also an officer, appointed to
settle this affair and to part us who have fool
ishly and crlminally gone to fighting. l here
surrender myself. What more can do?"
face at the conclusion of the speech was
study. What I have seen will tell you,
whether for or against my people. I will not
tell a lie" was his response to an interrogatory
of Gen. Adams. He gave the names of twenty
Indians killed, two missing and several wound
ed in the Thornburgh fight. He said that Ahu-
lupeewei was the Indian who took Mrs.
he was Uncompaghne Ute. He
never met tho Mormons personally, but
knew those who had, to whom the proposition
was made to furnish arms and ammunition.
Gen. Hatch's theory that the fight between the
Indians and soldiers was an accident was
clearly proven. The Indians had left the main
road to avoid the soldiers, and if Thornburgh
had kept the main road, would have reached
the agency unmolested. The commission will,
of twelve Indians engaged in the agency mas
sacre. OuraY will attempt to carry out the
demand. and lively Indian fight may be wit
messed By the commission.

STRIKING SrONE-CUTEERS.

The Men on the New Elevator Demand
Higher Wages-A Statement OF Their
Grievances and Their Employers De-
tense. g.. ..
The stonecutters to the number of seventeen, en-
ployed by Daniel Mullen, the contractor building the
new elevator at the Como crossing, presented their
employer yesterday morning with paper signed by
them asking that their wages be increased to $3.50
per day. Mr.. Mullen declined to accede to their de-
mands. and the men accordingly quit work. One Of
tho strikers was seem by GLOBE representative and
gave the following reasons for the strike:
Oh Monday morning the men we're informed that
the future be 50 25. This caused some dssatisfac-
ton, nut as hours were getting shorter they con-
cluded to stand the reduction. Yesterday morning
they informed that they would be paid for their
work by the piece instead of daily wages. This
change the men would not agree to, and accordingly
struck.
Mr.. Mullen was met, and said that the reduction of
wages and the proposition to pay for the work done
by the piece was occasioned by two things: The re-
were shortened about an hour. The proposition to
pay by the piece was caused by large part of the
stone-cutting wing to be done over, which
casioned by the incompetency of tho engineer, Mr..
Joseph Sewan, who has the work in charge. The
men, Mr.. Mullen stated, could make s. 80 per day by
piece work. but hearty all the work has to be done
over twice, they we're afraid to risk their time. He
thought the men would soon be willing to go to work
Of his proposition but there plenty Of others
that could be found he would not take them back If
they wanted to come s.--.-.- .--.-
New men will be put to work in place Of the strikers
this morning if they be obtained, and the work,
it is claimed, will not be put back any by the strike

Taken In to the Tune of $500.


An item in yesterdays GLOBE announced
the supposed arrival in this city of the mar
shall of Winona, who was in search of a party
who was wanted for obtaining goods under
false pretenses. Owing to the departure of the
official it was impossible to obtain the facts on
Tuesday evening, but information collected
yesterday proved that the item alluded to was
slightly at variance with the real facts in the
case, inasmuch a. the official named should
have read Marshal Woodward, of Hastings, the
real parsonage. His visit to st. Paul was made
in the interest of:a man named La Green, who
had the wool drawn over hi. financial optics to
the tune of $500, by an artful dodge named Luz
enburg.
The latter individual came to La Green, the
capitalist of the narrative, a few days since.
and requested the loan of few hundred dol
lars. La Green had the lucre, but with the
proverbial timidlty of wealth. made some al
fusion to security. Did the gentleman have
any collateral? OF course he did; good as
wheat, the fact being that he owned several
hundred bushels of that cereal stored away in
an elevator, in addition to which he was will
ing to mortgage his buggy.
The loan was duly consummated, and day
or two ago Luenberg shipped his wheat, buggy
and other personal property to some Eastern
point and skipped that part of the country.
Up to yesterday the refugee or the collateral
had not been discovered.
