Late MINNEAPOLIS news
REPUBLICANS DECLARE
THEMSELVES IN FAVOR OF WASH.
BURN.
Jamison Takes His Right While f. f.
Davis Rises to Support Bobby.

The Republicans made their greatest eff
hall last evening. A band wagon paraded
the streets during the day, announcing
Hon. William Window and Senator
Mcmillan as the orators of the evening.
Hon. William Window was the first
speaker. He first treated exhaustively the
financial condition Of the nation under the
rule of the Republican party. He went
from that to the civil service reform, upon
which he has spoken frequently. He
handled the traffic question, advocat-
ing what is known among
politicians as tariff for
protection. He had much to say of
bringing our labor on a par with Euro
pean labor in about the same manner as
the other speakers on the Republican
stump of the present campaign. He con-
tinued his address by speaking OF Bill
Washburn, the candidate of this district
He evidently wanted to see him elected.
So does Doc. Collins, Charley johnson.
Jake Barge & Co.
He closed in defending his own personal
and political character, which had been
traduced by paid newspapers, and com
pared himself in this respect to President
Garfield, who was accused Of stealing
1929. He was applauded at the close.
ROBERT JAMESON
followed in an eloquent oatpouring of hi;
soul, SO to speak, but the. effort
was evidently too much on
the consciously grandiloquent order
to catch on to any great extent and so he
overshot his mark. The General might
well have said sBobby. shoot low, shoot
low" That's the policy of running Re-
publican campaign in this district. They
| not only shoot low, but stoop low.
F. F. DAVIS.
| followed and made the astounding
announcement that the history OF the
| Republican party was in the past
and the audience applauded. He took his
hearers with a waive Of his hand and pc
culiar twist Of his tongue from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. But what that has to dc
| with the present campaign few in the
audience could understand. He sp IKE a
word of General" Washburn, but he spoke
it he said, as disinterested man. He
| wanted to say General Wash5rrn had
put himself on record Is the friend of the
workingmen of Minneapolis, while DIR
Ames had no record. He knew Dr.. Ames
would never go to congress.

Especial Telegram to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Recently there
was made public Correspondence between
Arab Hubbell, his secretary Col. Hender-
son, and Senator Malone, in which the
necessity for large contribution of funds
to aid Malone and the Readjusters was set
forth. The genuineness of the letters pull
lished could not be disputed and all con-
cerned, although greatly annoyed at the
publicity given the correspondence, did
not attempt to deny its authenticity. It
was limited that Gen. Butler was the person
who obtained the correspondence
and made it public. Such is
not the fact. About two
weeks ago Hubbell visited Boston to in
duce Collector Washington to put the ma
chinery Of the custom house in that city to
work in the interests of the Republican
party. Hubbelrs mission was fruitiess,
Worthington refused to compel his subord-
mates to pay the assessments that the
chairman Of the congressional committee
would fain have laid upon them. Hubbell
stopped at the Parker house. When he
left his room gentleman and his wife
were given the apartment and the lady,
with common curiosity, opened the bureau
drawers before unpacking her baggage
In one of the drawers e package Of letters
addressed to Mr.. Hu5hcll was found. The
supposition is that he laid these letters up
on the top of the bureau, intending to put
them in his valise; that the servant in
cleaning the room discovered them and
placed them in the drawer, and that their
owner forgot all about them. The first let
tiers in the package were those relating to
the Virginia campaign. The others were
of private and personal character. Cop
les were made of the Virginia
correspondence and given to the
press. The originals were preserved.
The other letters being of value to Hub
bell only, were sent by express to him at
the congressional committees headquar-
tiers in this city. Gen. Butler, it is author
itively stated, did not know of the cor
respondence until he saw the letters in
print.

The Rag Businc SIS.

The rag business in any large city is
one of no mean Importance. In New
York there are estimated to be 1000
Italian rag -pickers, averaging in earn
ings about thirty-tive cents per day
each, and picking up $75O,00O worth of
rags in the course of year. This
class get their rags from ash barrels,
cutters, etc, while there is another
class that go from house to house
with carts, buying, who do business
of 100000 per year, Besides these
there is the regular purchaser. Cotton
rags are the only kind imported, there
being no duty, and they come from al
most every city in the world. This
variety brings from one and one-fourth
to six cents a pound, according to
condition and quality. Those COM
ing from foreign countries are more
worn and dirtier than those got from
home, and the latter bring the best
prices. Last years importations of
cotton rags were $l0,000,000, and the
total business in this kind is placed at
$22,000,000. Woolen rags, in which a
business of $9,000,000 annually is said
to be done in New York, are used in
manufacturing shOddies, and are gath
cred from Eastern and Western cities.
None are imported, the tariff amount
ing to twelve cents per pound, while
the rags are worth from three to thirty
five cents. About eight hundred deal
ers, distinct from the Italians and pur-
chasers of housewives, make New
York their place of business, out OF
which number one hundred and fifty
are large operators. Less than dozeI
large houses are credited with being
capable of controlling the rag market
Twenty-Five years ago the rag bushes,
was unknown in New York.

Tho Manufacture OF Tiles.

Tiles, being a thinner ware than
bricks, have to be made of a purer and
stronger clay. They also require
more careful treatment, but the process
of manufacture is not essentially diff
ferent. There are many varieties of
tiles, but for practical purposes they
may be reduced to three, namely,
paving tiles, roofing tiles and drain
tiles. In weathering, the clay is
spread in layers Of about two inches
thickness during winter, and each
layer is allowed the benefit of at least
one nights frost before the succeeding
layer is put upon it.
Sometimes the process is affected by
sunshine. The comminuted clay is
next placed in pits and allowed to mel
low or ripen under water. Then it is
passed through the pug mill, and the
tempered product cut in thin slices
with piece of wire fixed to two han
dies, in order TO detect any stone, and
then passed through the pug mill again,
after which it is generally ready for
molding. To take the case of pan tiles
(hand molded) the molder turns the
tile out of the fat mold on to the wash
ing-off frame, on the covered surface
of which, with very wet hands, he
washes it into a curved shape. Then he
strikes it with a semi-cylindri,
cal instrument called the splavcr
and conveys it on this TO the fiat block
where he deposits it, with the convex
side uppermost, and, removing the
splaver, leaves the tile to dry. The tile
is afterward beaten on the thwacking
frame, to correct any warping that may
have occurred, and trimmed with the
thwacking knife. In the kiln, which is
constructed with arched furnaces at the
base of a conical erection called the
dome, the tiles are closely stacked in
upright position, on a bottom Of vitre,
fled bricks. The fuel used is coal, and
burning continues usually about six
days. In making pipe drain tiles, the
clay is first nodded to a proper length
width and thickness, then wrapped
around drum; the edges are closed
together and the tile is carefully
shaped by the operators hand, some.
times assisted by Il wooden tool. Tiles
as well as bricks can be made by ma
chinery; with suitable dies almost any
form of tile may be thus had, which i.
producible by the advance of a giver
section of clay parallel to itself. In
other machines pressure is eXerted or
the clay in mold.-AmericaH Pot

As seen in his prison, Arab Pasha
is man of singularly courteous man
ners; tall, burly, not uncomely, with a
tendency to badness and snowiness
about the beard. lie should be man
of fifty-fiye, but Orientals are inscru-
table in the matter of age, some of
them looking 100, while in reality they
have but just turned thirty. lie is a
fellah Of the fellaheen. The shape of
his eyes and cast of his cOuntenance
shows this. lie has the Ignorance of
the fellah, his boundless trust and
grotesquely selfish belief that Allah's
time is occupied with specially watch
ing him above all other creatures
Previous to the recent Egyptian War
no one ever heard of Toulba Pasha,
the Sancho Panza to Arabi's Don
Quixote, his alter ego and the sharer
of his captivity. lie rose from the
dregs of society, is short, dark, corpu-
lent, with twinkling eyes, an impudent
leer, and nervous fat Lands always on
the move. He willfully deceived his
master, who trusted in him, for, in the
kilograms which are eXtant, he prated
always of great victories and promised
others. Without Toulba's living, plau-
sible counsel it is unlikely that Arab
would ever have succumbed to his rash
ambition. He pinned his faith to
Toulba, and Toulba, an adventurer,
reckless of consequences, led him
floundering into the mire.

Ono of them had actually been placed !

One of them had actually been placed
hors du combat and had dropped out
of the fight, while the other two,
without ceasing their attacks, were
evidently using more caution. Pres
emily the ram was seen slowly to
retire, pursued by them at long range,
and returning with an occasional gun
the fire which they still kept up. She
was eighteen miles from the mouth of
the Roanoke whence she had come
about five hours before. One of her
two guns, as we afterward learned,
had its muzzle shot away, and in con-
sequence of the loss of her chimney it
was impossible to keep up sufficient
steam. In this crippled state she must
make her way back, pursued by two
swift and heavily-armed ships.
Her commander proved equal to the
emergency. Among her stores was a
large supply of salt pork. This he
ordered to be used for fuel instead of
the coal, which was now useless. The
fierce heat thus rapidly produced made
up for the lack of draught in the in
iured smokestack, and so she steadily
retreated, fighting all the way with
her remaining gun until she reached
the mouth of the river, where she fired
the last shot of defiance, as she had
fired the first. The gunboats had
meanwhile ceased the pursuit, and the
engagement was ended The crippled
double-ended steamed slowly below
Sandy Point, where she lay a couple
Of weeks repairing damages. 1t leaked
out that solid shot from the ram had
gone through her boiler, killing several
of her men and wounding Others by its
effect. For several weeks the SOUND
shore in the vicinity of the fight was
strewn with splinters and other frag
ments, some painted, some carved OF
gilded, showing the results of the
rams fire upon the wooden hulks O.
her adversaries.

A Farewell.

Come not to my grave with your mourninga
With your lamentations and tears,
With your sad forebodings and fears;
When my lips are dumb,
Do not come
Bring no long train of carriages,
No hearse crowned with waving plunos,
Which the gaunt glory of Death Ilumasi
But with hands on my breast
Let me rest.
If, in my fair youth time, attended
BY hope and delight every day,
could spurn the sweet baseness OF clay,
Can you honor me, try
Till you die.
Insult not my dust with your pity,
Ye who're left on this desolate shore,
Still to suffer and lose and deplore-
'Tis l should, as do,
Pity you.
For me no more are the hardships,
The bitterness, heartaches and strife,
The sadness and sorrow of life,
But the glory divine =
This is mine!
Poor creatures Afraid of the darkness,
Who groan at the anguish to come.
How silent 60 to my ta..e!
Cease your sorrewful bell;
lam well.

Just before Christmas, all the flags in
remote little village in Devonshire
were waving and all the bells ringing
to welcome the arrival of the much

Prince Romanzeff made no attempt
to pursue his daughter. The report
which he received on the day after her
flight of her elopement with police
man so filled his soul with horror that
he swore such renegade could have
neither part nor lot with the illustrious
family of Romanzeff. SO he erased
her name from the family Bible, and
went on accommodating debts which
there was now no hope whatever OF
paving.
