Mr.. Wells. Chairman Of the Committee

that convicts could be employed at cents
day less than upon wagon contracts and
still net the State as much as now. They
state that IL all the convicts could be en-
ployed at 20 cents per day, the institution
would be self.sustaining. Contractors ought

ThNAIiOn-An Extra Session.
WASHINGTON, January 2S.-When Sena-
tor Plumb, of Kansas, Republican, ven
tured, few days ago, to speak a good
word for the taxpayers, and protested, in
their interest, against having duties in-
creased, his remarks were received by his
fellow Republicans with contemptuous ST.
lenCe. 1t is the deliberate purpose OF the
Republican leaders in both houses to pre-
vent any repeal Of the totally needless and
burdensome internal taxes, because to do
that would lessen the number OF office
holders who will be expected to help in
the next Presidential canvass, and whose
maintenance costs 8, ,OOO,OOO year, at least
100000 Of which, besides many millions
Of needless tax, could be saved il the PreSi-
dents recommendations were followed, TO
sboli>h all internal duties except those on
spirits As a tariff reduction or simpllh-
cation. il is resisted at every step by the
Republican chiefs, who are IurionS with

the will Of the great tariff monOpOlists at
the expense, in numerous cases, OF great
hardship and needless imposition upon the

Of the country.
1t Is truth which ought to be under
stood that the Republican chiefs have
made themselves and are making their
party the agents of wealthy mOnopolists,
whose service they are doing at the expense
OF every other interest in the country,
manufacturing and agricultural. Appar-
emily they believe that the next election is

several members of Congress OF late that
he was in earnest in recommending in his

THE ClMsRlA AND THE SULTAN.
story of the Captain of the Sultan.

HAMBURG, January pa most search.
ing official inspection OF the steamer Sui
tan shows the damage far more serious
than at first believed. According to the
testimony of competent seataring people
the crew of the Sultan displayed marvellous
cleverness and rapidity in stopping the
leak, and it is scarcely conceivable how the
vessel ever reached Hamburg. Besides the
smashed bow and the holes in both sides,
her keel, for twelve or fifteen feet, was
completely split. The Hamburger Mach
richten says the Captain of the Sultan, in
an official statement says: Before the fog
set in he had been going nine knots an
hour and during the fog reduced the speed
to four knots, the lowest rate OF speed con-
sistent with keeping steering way on the
vessel. He neither heard no saw any kind
of signals until suddenly, at a distance of
little more then two ships lengths, the
Cimbria's green light appeared He i'm
mediately, in accordance with the rules,
endeavored to give way. He thought he
should be able to get clear when some
Incorrect Steering
occurred aboard the Cimbria and suddenly
he saw the red light of another steamer
Ut should be remarked here that probably
the Cimbria red light was displayed by
alteration of her course.) Almost stimuli
taneously with the appearance of the red
light he felt the shock. During the time
that the leak of his vessel was'repairing he
constantly gave signals by blue lights and
blowing the steam whistle. When the re-
pairs had been effected he approached as
uear the scene OF the collision as he could
without endangering the safety OF his
own vessel. Owing to the dense
fog he saw nothing. He waited about until
o'clock Friday morning. AS proof OF the
correctness OF his statement he points to
the lateness of the time at which he arrived
at Cuxhaven. 1t is considered great
point in the official investigation TO prove
the accuracy of this statement According
to the statements of persons intimately
acquainted with the captain OF the Sultan
both he and his first officers are thoroughly
competent sailors, especially for the main
tenauce Of strict discipline.

Bound for College Halls.

A few days ago eight young Sioux boys
passe through this city on their way to
enter the United States government Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa, and party of if
teen or twenty more young Sioux Indians
of the Standing Rock reservation, arrived
at Mandan. on the Northern Pacific train
due here yesterday morning and stopped
there arriving at st. Paul on the next train
due at $50 p. M, but being nine hours
late and not arriving in the city until $3.50
this morning.
These twenty lads, all of whom are full
blooded Sioux, are to enter the Carlisle
school for which they take the train to-
day, of their own free will and accord,
while among them is son of the famous
Chief Sitting Bull, who has caused the gov
'ernmsnt so much trouble in the past,
fine looking young brave twenty-five
years of age, and said to be unusually in
telligent. Sitting Bull is much opposed
to any of his children receiving an educa-
ton, but this son has broken away from
parental authority in this instance, and
reports say is very promising Indian
youth. AS the party will necessarily have
to stop in st. Paul for several hours they
will very naturally be the objects of much
curiosity

NOT ALTOGETHER LOVELY.

There has been cold chill running up
and down the back bone of the Republican
party in Minnesota ever since the GLOBE
published the confidential circular to
postmasters issued by ''the old guard" to
ascertain the extent Of the Scandi-
navian detection. The Republican
papers, far and near, have
been shouting "who's afraid?" and de-
claring that all is lovely, that there is no
detection, that the Scandinavians are solid
for Hubbard, even down to " their sisters,
their cousins and their aunts." And now
comes the Minneapolis Journal with an
article headed "Gsv. Hubbard's Danger
which contains this sad intelligence:
Our Swedish contemporaries without a sin
gle exception come out for Gov. Hubbard: but
of the Norwegian papers several have fallen
out of line. ''Vort Land" Zone Country of
Chicago, in this respect comes in for the first
honors, followed closely by ''Grand Forks lid.
ende'' (Journa) and ''Den Norske Amerl-
kaner'' (The Norwegian Ameri-
CAM of Moorhead and Fargo
Two papers of large circulation and correspond
ing influence remained as yet undecided. The
one, ''Folke- Bladet," 1.-The Peoples Journal, }
of this city, is still on the fence, though evi-
IDENTIFY predisposed to support Bierman and IA
voring him in several ways; the other, ''Bud-
stikken, also of this city, comes out in its issue
of yesterday squarely for the Democratic nomi-
nee.
1t is as yet difficult to say anything definite
about the detection in the Scandinavian Repub-
ican ranks; but it would be foolish to conceal
that such detection is imminent, if, indeed, it
may not already be considered an accom-
plished fact. Were no other proof accessi-
BILE, the boiling of ''Buddstikken' against Gov.
Hubbard would in itself furnish the most tan
gible evidence. For in opposing the Republi-
can nominee, that paper evidently believes it has
struck popular chord, and is confident Of raj
lying considerable majority of the Norwegian
voters to support Mr.. Bierman.
Denouncing the GLOBE for telling the
truth does not prove anything, but the
vote in November is likely to demonstrate
who is right in the matter. The GLOBE
simply repeats that Mr.. Bierman only
needs the full, solid Democratic vote to be
the next governor of Minnesota.

drafts from Canada, where the firms
works were located, were found to be in
excess of what the business seemed to re-
quire. Investigation showed that E. Brad

largely overdrawn his account.
This irregularity and other
losses, together with a suit
which Bradley has since brought against

A Charming Lecture.

A very instructive lecture was delivered
last evening at Turner hall by DR.. II. Won
der Hoist, German professor, OF Frei-
berg, Germany. The speaker is one of
the members of the Willard party, that
made the trip across to Portland. 1t was
not certainly known that he wonld be here
in time last night to speak and it Was quite
surprise that so large an audience as
sembled to hear him. The speaker is an
exceedingly interesting one and spoke
with great fuency and eloquence. Of
course the lecture was in German. The
main idea of it was the wonderful ease
and rapidity that characterizes the Amer
lean people in creating, or erecting states
and new, Independent governments out of
territory, and filling them up with people.
This is something wholly ur-
known in the old country. and
strikes the foreigner with wonder. 1t is
all done so easily, and in such practical
manner and with so little theory. When
the state, or subordinate government is
created the whole machinery goes into
practical operation without friction. He
gave glowing and picturesque description
of the country through which
the excursion passed - and
dwelt with emphasis upon the vast re-
sources of this great northwestern country.
DR.. Won Hoist is the guest of Mr.. Albert
Scheffer, while in st. Paul. Previous to
his return to Germany he will lecture in
various other cities in the United States.
He is an exceedingly pleasant, forcible and
impressive speaker and delighted the large
audience that listened to him last night.

FRED DOUGLAS CONVENTION.

Fred Douglas held his national colored
nen's convention" at Louisville, this week.
lie called the convention for one purpose
only, to adopt memorial to congress ask
ing for the sum of 100000 in behalf OF
the southern public schools on the basis of
iIiteracy. There are thousands of white
men who are better friends of the colored
RAGS than Mr.. Douglas. The turbulence of
the convention and its stormy scenes ex-
hibited the small esteem in which he is
held by the people of his own
blood. So far as making any impression
upon the colored people or upon the
country Mr.. Douglas convention failed
entirely.
The rank and file very quickly grasped
Mr.. Douglas grand scheme and they too
cried for Office. They shouted for Arthur
and an appropriation, and having yelled
themselves tired, broke up and went home.
The Douglas convention was branch
of Logan's brilliant project of national
aid to education, and the one was as big
humbUg as is the other. The
country will gladly render needed assist
ance to the coiored man. It has done SO
and will again, but it will not make Jack
Logan or Fred Douglass its agents. They
represent greed and ambition, not patriot
ism and genuine good will. When such
men are permitted to dive down into the
treasury vaults for millions, it will be.
when the time arrives that the devil falls
in love with holy water.

About 1 o'clock this morning hack,
containing two women, and Corporal Davis
of the 18th cavalry, were driven up to the
police station and the whole party, includ-
ing the driver, named Valentine, were
locked up. Davis says he
was en- route to JOIN

evening Valentine proposed to him to
shave alittle fun" to which he asserted.
In company with the tn girls he says was
driven to some place in the country be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis, Che does
not know the house,) where he treated to
wine, and the affair wound up by the bar
tender, Valentine and the girls robbing
him of $50. He got them to drive back to
town on the ground that he had more
money in the city to continue the spree
with, and seeing Officer Daily on the street
he hailed him and had the whole party
arrested, he being locked up with the rest.
