Miscellaneous Notes,

There was good deal of agitation in the ranks
of the Scandinavian members OF the legislature
yesterday over the proposition to unite on Knute
Nelson. They know their strength and power
in the Republican party in the state, and a
strong inclination is manifested to step in and
carry off the prize. The Window gang are good
deal nervous over this ''landsman'' movement.
They have counted the Scandinavians as their
servile slaves. and in their calculations have
Jumped them in one lot for Window. They
have not even taken the trouble to pay them
court, until the last day or two, chasing then
as a sort Of machine to be used at will. The
indications of Scandinavian independence does
not make the Window gang happy.
There was good deal of quiet talk last night
in favor OF dropping Window and concentrating
upon some other man. If Window proves as
weak as anticipated in the caucus to night, this
result is quite possible. Of course if this was
done it would involve the selection of some
man who is now a supporter of Window
but who could command sufficient number of
anti-Windom votes to win. In this talk the
name of Hon. D. NJ. Sabin is the most promi-
nently mentioned and successful combination
upon him is great deal more probable than
WINDOWS election. The friends of ex-Gov.
Pillsbury are also beginning to prick up their
ears and are inclined to groom him as a dark
horse for the Window faction to bring forward.

The Democrats,

What will the Democrats do? is now the query
beingalaunched by both Republican camps.
Action was taken last evening which shows
that they Will not vote for or aid Window.
A Democratic conference was held last even
ing at the Metropolitan at the rooms of Judge
Thomas Wilson. Hon. James Smith, Jr. of st.
Paul presided and Hon. H. W. Hill of st.
Charles was chosen secretary. There was very
full attendance comprising nearly every Demo-
crat in both branches of the legislature. free and
frank interchange of views followed and the
sentiment was absolutely onanimolts in opposi-
ton to Window and III favor of any suitable
man upon whom the anti-Windom Republicans
can harmonic. The conference throughout
was an assurance of willingness to aid in elect
ing some other Republican than Window
They recognized the fact that in this contest it
isl a choice of Republicans and with that patri-
Otism which has often characterized the De-
mocracy expressed willingness to cooperate
in securing the best Republican. If the
Window men have been building any
hopes of Democratic support such
such hopes were overwhelmingly dispelled by the
conference at Judge Wilson's room last night
1t was a solid bulwark against Window
The meeting adjourned until this evening,
when another conference will be held at the same
place. Messrs. James Smith, Jr., j. Brown
and G. F Buck were appointed committee to
call future conferences.

TILT FORTUNE.

When Cakes Ames drew his memoran-
dun book political fortunes were wrecked.
The memorandum book contained evidence
that members of Congress were interested
in the Union Pacific and at the same time
legislating in its favor.
William Window was given $4,000 in
stock in the Northern Pacific and stood for
years among the directors of that corpora
ton while he was voting land subsidies
and other aid to the company.
The Credit Mobilier affair was small in
enormity in comparison. The giving of
the stock was bride of itself, and the oc-
cupancy of dictatorship in a road for
which he was legislating was simply
voting himself money from the public
treasury.
While Schuyler Colfax and other Cred it
Mobilier statesmen have gone down to
political graves, William Window has
thrived and become millionaire by pros
tituting his official position for private
gain.
How do the Republicans of Minnesota
like the picture which these DER true
facts presents.

answer. What thoughts crowded the minds
of the hapless beings, with death in its
most awful form staring them in the face
none will ever know. All that the
public sees is pictured in our
dispatches this MORNING. pile of
human forms in the dark and
noisome morgue, charred and blackened
beyond recognition, wrenched, ana
broken, and mangled, torn limb from limb,
battered out of all semblance to human
ity. From the contemplation of
so sickening a spectacle the imag
ination turns away with shudder
and seeks to blot it from the vision, but
ever and again the loathsome charnel
house lifts itself in our pathway with some
fresh horror added.
1t is the old, old story, repeated with
each recurring tale of agonizing disaster.
A hotel in which hundreds of human
beihe Is were nightly lodged had but three
means of egress, and these wholly made
quate. The main stairway was winding
one, reaching from top to bottom of the
rather than as a means of escape. The
steps were three inches wide on one end
and nearly two feet wide on the other, so
that one could ascend or descend them only
by the greatest care. The other two stair
ways were too narrow for two persons to
walk abreast. The building was regarded
as so unsafe that the local underwriters
refused to take any risks upon it. 1t has
gone up in smoke and fame, and all the
men in the community are wagging their
heads wisely and saying Il told you So"
1t should, but it will not, teach lesson re-
sulting in greater safety for the future.
Men who have money invested in hotels
will make as few Improvements as posi-
BILE; provide as few means of egress as pos
sible; for Railways and stairs occupy
ce,and space must be utilized for sleep
ing apartments. Besides, the expenditure
of money on such safeguards would dimin
ish the interest on the investment, and hu-
man life is far less precious than financial
dividends. The press may pro-
test, but some venal architect will
be found who, for a paltry recompense,
will certify to the safety of the structures,
and public clamor will be appeased until
another holocaust occurs.
To moralize over such tragedies is use
less; to call for thorough enforcement of
the laws applicable to public buildings is
almost equally so. We may look for a
spasmodic vigilance, few disjointed eff
forts in the direction of public safety, but
for no thorough reform, for money is all
powerful and money-getting an object
that outweighs even the lives of human
beings. The awful catastrophe at Milwau
kee will be but a Renaissance in a twelve
month, save to the immediate friends of
those whose lives were sacrificed to the
Moloch of greed. 1t will be called to
memory only when its twin horror shall
have bIanched other cheeks and filed other
graves with the blackened and indis-
tinguishable corpses of its victims.

A Case of Duty.

TOLEDO, o., Jan. 10. The case of James
w. Ross VS.. John ". Fuller, collector of
customs of Toledo, has been on trial in the
United States court since last Saturday.
The action is brought to recover custom
dues said to have been overpaid to the
plaintiff, who is broker of Chicago, and
had contract for the delivery within a
certain time and at a given priceza large
quantity of iron forgings for railroad
axles. Finding that he could not get as
many as he wanted in this
country, he imported enough to
complete the contract with the understand
ing that the duty would be $1.25 per
100 pounds. When he came to import
the goods the duty charged was $3.50 per
100 pounds. This he paid under protest,
and now seeks to recover tie difference,
$500. The case went to the jury yester
day afternoon, and they remained out
until 2:30 this afternoon, when they re-
ported to the court, they could not agree
and were accordingly discharged.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 10.-Of the various con-
certs rendered by the Mendelssohn club since its
organization, that given in the Academy last
evening was pre-eminently the most excellent,
considering it as a whole. Every number in the
very lengthy programme was deserving of special
mention. Madame Minnie Hauk was received
by perfect ovation of applause, and responded
to repeated encores with exceedingly pretty
grace. The grand finale and chorus, from Wag-
ner's 'Lohengrin,' was the best feature in which
the Mendelssohn's participated, and Nine.
Hauk's echo song, by Eckert, was best re-
ceiVed, and was certainly highly artistic. At its
close she was presented with a magnif cent basket
of flowers. She responded to an encore with Pm
DER Young to Marry Yet" playing her own &C
compartment on the Knabe grand, and to the
second with Take Care" The respective pi-
anO solos by Constantine Sternberg were indeed
happy numbers, and were well received Mr.
Anderson's clear, full and powerful baritone in
''Nazarett'' was a treat, while Prof. Danz's or
chestra never did better.

Fighht With a Prisoner.

About o'clock this morning the notorious
Ben Vogle, who was implicated in the assault on
John Birch some time ago, doomed up at Bridge
square badly under the influence of bulge and
aching for fight. Officer Babe ordered him to
go home when he struck out and showed fight.
The officer then undertook to arrest him when he
made desperate resistance, both men
being of powerful physical strength.
Special policeman Fisher came to the assistance
of Officer Babe and the prisoner still made a
savage resistance. He was finally landed in the
cooler with the aid of Officer Hanft, fighting
the officers the most of the way to the station
Vogle should let whisky alone or it will get him
into serious trouble.

publicans were tired of keeping one man
in office for life time. There was no Glance
for men of ability like Gordon E. Cole or ex-
Gov. Davis, who if an opportunity was wanted
coaia give the State some prestige and reputa-
ton. As it was, Minnesota had no history in
her public men. The Republicans were
beginning to wake up to the situation
and proposed to secure change He had never
before seen such carnestness and determination.
There were enough pledged to defeat Window,
and the pledges were given by men who would
keep them. The conference just held was highly
encouraging and even better than expected.
Further interviews were of the same tenor,
and in this happy frame of mind the GLOBE en-
voy drops the anti curtain.

THE HAUK-M ENDELss0HN CONCERT.
A Brilliant Event.

To night occurs, in ST. Paul, repetition of
the brilliant k-Mendelssohn concert which
took place at Minneapolis last night, with the
addition of the st. Paul Choral society and the
Seibert orchestra to the Mendelssohn club and
the Danz orchestra. In many respects this will
be the greatest musical event ever occurring in
st. Paul. 1t was such at Minneapolis last night.
The Academy was crowded to the doors with a
brilliant audience and everything passed off to
the delight of the listeners. Such occasions are
rare in Minnesota, and hence it is not to be
wondered at that the board at the Opera house
shows an equally great house in St. Paul to-
night as greeted Madame Hauk in Minneapolis
last night

The OpposfttOn.

The anti-Windom Republicans held second
conference last night at Gen. John B. Sanborn's
Office. 1t was understood that be-
tween forty and fifty members of the legislature
were present at the conference. and when they
returned to the political Babel at the Merchants
about 10 D. m, there was an elated feeling man
ifest which showed a marked degree of conf
dence in success.
The GLOBE envoy waited upon Mr.. DunneI'

''You can say" said Mr.. Dunnell, that Mr.
WINDOWS defeat is certain. We have ffty-one
who have positively agreed not to go into the
caucus and that settles the caucus question and
also defeats Mr.. Window"
''Can the pledges be relied upon," was the
query.

TIE Republican party could not stay in

circumstances there is a manifest equity in
their claiming the good things the party

that they should prefer one of their own
