Duluth Sash Factory Burned.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. ]

lSpecldl leleSTam 10 JHe
DULUTH, April l6.-Duluth was again
visited by the fire tiend at half-past four
this morning, totally consuming Scott &
Holst0n's extensive sash and door factory
across the canal, formerly known as the
Patterson & McQuade mill, involving a
loss of eight to ten thousand dollars. The
fire engine was promptly on hand but
some time was lost owing to the hose hav-
ing to be laid across the wire suspension
bridge to the mill. Nothing could be saw
ed owing to the rapidlty of the flames.
This is a severe blow to one of our most
extensive industries. Scott & Holston
came here about year ago from Mime
apols and purchased the mill from j. d.
Howard for six thousand dollars, and
they have established permanent trade
and are highly esteemed citizens and bust
ness men. The insurance on the building
and machinery amounts to four thousand
five hundred dollars. Steps will be taken
to induce them to rebuild the mill on this
side of the canal, on the property known
as citizens dock. The origin Of the fire
is unknown, but it is strongly suspected
to be the work of an incendiary. Insured
in Western Association of Toronto for
$1,000. The rest was carried by j. D.
Howard

A Republican Game in Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 16.-There is much dis
satisfaction among Democrats at what
they allege to be the unfair statement of
municipal election returns by the return
ing officers of the west and ssuth towns.
These officials have thrown out several
precincts for what they consider gross
and essential violations of law, with the
result that the returns so purified elect all
the Republican cand ldates for town Off
Ces in the south and west towns, al
though the face of the returns would
have elected most of the Democratic can
didates. Contests will probably be made
to test the legality of this action. The
north town votes are not yet canvassed.

WASHINGTON.

A Long Conference at Which Nothing Was
Accomplished Failure at Celebration
"A Socialists Let, er to the President The
Pressure in Favor of an Executive Sss-
sion.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Congressman
Jorgenson says he went to the White
House yesterday with the straight Vlr-
ginia delegation to introduce them, and
did not endorse the movement for a
straight Republican ticket in Virginia, or
the proposed removal Of readjusters from
office.
The international sanitary conference,
in session here since January, have ad.
journed sine die, without accomplishing
anything definite in the line of the pur-
pose for winch it met Want of harmo
nv prevailed from the beginning and the
few rules agreed on will not be ratified by
all the governments participating in the
conference Twenty-eight governments
were represented and the truth is 1t came
to naught, as all the nations would not
agree to a general sanitary policy.
The emancipation celebration consisted
of a procession of about 100 persons,
which broke up before reaching the place
where the celebration was to take place.
Kutz, socialist leader of Chicago, has
written an lmpertinent letter to Presi-
dent Garfield is which he says the Pres
ident is as much of despot as the car
of Russia; that in all republics the peo'
pie are oppressed by the rulers, and this
is particularly true of the United States.
This socialist concludes his letter with
the opinion that President Garfield ought
to be served with big dose of dynamite
and nitro -glycerine The President read
the letter and was amused at its impertl-
nence.
There is a general expectation here of
some developments in the Senate next
week looking to confrmatiOns Of men
who have been nominated and hanging
up in the Senate All feel hopeful of
early confirmation, but both Republican
and Democratic Senators still maintain
that they do not intend to yield on the
question of electing officers. AT the first
executive session The fricn1s OF Stanley
Matthews intend to make an effort to
have him confirmed. Matthews is
ANXIOUS to have the matter settled, one |
way or another, and relieve him from
further annoyance on the subject.

Effects of the Winter on Wheat, Fruit and
Bees.

CHICAGO, April l6.-T Times reports from
all parts of the western winter wheat
regions show an immense amount of dam
age done to the crops by the severity of
the winter But there is not the slightest
danger of a general failure of the harvest
on that account. In considerable ma
iority of the districts the crop is backward
or III an unfavorable condition, but the
reports do not intimate a total failure
any where, and in the fact that the good
prices and handsome harveSts of the two
or three past years encouraged the plant
ing of largely increased acreage in most
localities. seems to be fair offset for the
injury suffered. In a great many sections
the heavy SHOWS of the winter furnished
an invaluable protection against the
intense cold, and the late spring continued
this defense through the critical period Of
the alternate freezing and thawipg of
March. On the whole the situation is
more encouraging than generally believed,
and unless disastrous late frosts or other
unfavorable conditions materially impair
the present prospect, the yield, taking the
country at large, is likely not to be much
less than last years. Illinois and Indiana
seem to have suffered more than any other
States.
The fruit crop Will be total failure in
many parts of Illinois, Michigan, Ohio
and the Southern States. The trees in
many cases are killed outright. Bee
keepers have suffered greatly also.

Tho Anti-Treating Law Decided Void.

MILWAUKEE, April 16.-In test case
to-day, to determine the legality of the
celebrated anti treat ne law of Wiscon-
sin, it was found that the law was in
operative because of an error in the text
of its supposed enactment, the bill as
drawn specifying a repeal of an old law
that was dropped when the State statutes
underwent their recent revision. Judge
Mallory held the law to be imperative
and void.
