Several members of the Andrews Opera
company were in the city to-day.
j. F. Williamson, Washington, D. c.,
United States pension agent, is at the Man
kato house.
A false alarm of fire late Saturday night
brought the department out on the run to the
vicinity of Mayor Palmer's residence, but
on investigation proved it to be only harm
less brush pile.
S. S. Watkins, superintendent of the state
fish hatcheries, visited Mankato to-day and
deposited in the Minnesota river at this point
the last of a million and half young white
fish, which have been left between Fort Smell
ling and this point. When this swarm OF
progeny reach the ripe three pound size,
there will be an interesting fishing ground
along the banks of our great interior river.

of the original town proprietors of Mankato,
and retired from business a number of years

4 To,sgh Character.

About 5 o'clock yesterday evening Detec-
tive Hoy and Officer Quinlan arrested in
South Minneapolis man named Frank
Anderson on the charge of shooting banker
and sheriff at Superior City,
Wis, a year ago last fall. He was
discovered at the boarding house of Anderson
on Third street south between Twelfth and
Thirteenth avenues, and Anderson has left
for the woods, but his friend was left
behind. Yesterday Anderson returned to
the boarding house, and was seen by Officer
Quinlan, who Immediately appraised Dectec-
tive Hoy, and both officers arrested him while
he was drinking in a saloon. The prisoner
resisted, and attempted to use revolver and
knife, but was overpowered and was placed
in the city prison, where he was visited
last night by GLOBE reporter. The
prisoner absolutely refused any information
whatever, but said he had come from Mon
tana, where he had been working on rail-
road. Anderson was among a gang of
burglars, who entered the bank at Superior
City at the time aforementioned, and took
therefrom large sum of money. The
burglars were pursued by a
posse of officers, and one of the gang was shot
and one arrested. Anderson shot the banker
at the time of the robbery, and shot the sher-
iff at the time his partner was arrested. He
is about twenty-eight years old, and stands
six feet in his stockings.

THE JEANETTE INQUIRY.
Fireman Bartlett Continues His Testi-
mOnY,

WASHINGTON, April Fireman Bartlett
of the Jeanette resumed his testimony before
the committee this morning. He was under
arrest for insubordinating when he went be-
fore the board of inquiry, and this prevented
his giving full answers. He did not suppress
any facts before the court of inquiry, but the
questions submitted by Collins, and ruled
out, would have thrown light on the subject
He, to certain extent, had been afraid of
persecution from the navy department,
and feared the facts in regard to
his arrest would be brought
about. He knows facts rejecting on the
honor of Melville and Danenhower, but
knew nothing rejecting on their humanity.
The facts affecting their honor did not, in his
judgment, have any bearing on the result of
the expedition, they consisting in setting a
bad example to the men by intoxication.
Witness himself had drank with Melville.
He was also aware of facts re-
fiecting ON the conduct of all
the survivors of the expedition, himself
included, and never knew Collins to be un
der the influence of liquor. He understood
it was general thing for the officers to make
game of Collins. Did not know any man
on the Jeanette being subjected to any out
rage or indignity. 1 met Glider and Jack
son, correspondents of the Herald, at Geeo-
movialocve. After Melville heard of them
he said to witness: 'Keep a damned close
mouth, for there's damned reporter after
u.s." The reason for Melville
SAYING this he did not know.
Melville made similar remark to him and
Noras afterwards. The survivors, though
within six days journey of where belong and
party were found, remained inactive for
three months before organizing relief ex-
petition to search for their missing COM
rades. Ninderman, seaman on the Jean
nette, was next examined, but nothing new
was elected. Adjourned.

Especial Reports from the GLOBE Mankato Office
April T.

The Waite Comedy Company again.
It seems that the manager Of this company
misappreciated the character of the people OF
Mankato, and fancied he could run his
cheap company on Sabbath evening as well
as upon week days. The attendance upon
the two evenings he did play was so much
larger than the character Of his company
warranted that he fancied the people
of Mankato were ''stuck'' on
his show and would jump
at the chance to turn out again on Sunday
night. It seems that he made an arrange
ment with the management of the opera
house to give sacred concert upon that even
ing, and thus occupy the house. The sur
prise and indignation Of the citizens and
managers of the building may be imagined
better than described when, upon leaving the
house Saturday night, after the close of the
''French Spy,'' to have thrust in their hands
bill announcing that the company would
make final appearance upon Sunday even
ing in ''Ingemar, the Man of the Wilderness"
the cast Of characters, and brief synopsis of
the play following.
The company did not, however, appear as
advertised as the manager was informed that
the citizens would not tolerate it or the au-
thorities allow it.
Doubtless Mr. Waite fanced he was in
Chicago, Denver or some other center of
wickedness, where everybody would as lief
go to theater as to go to church Perhaps
he thought that this innovation npon com
mon custom would be hailed with delight by
the inhabitants of Mankato. 1t is safe to say
though that he will not attempt his Sunday
evening sacred concerto dodge again in
Mankato. He will no doubt hereafter simu-
late that respect for the Christian Sabbath
which he evidently does not feel. Mankato
is a thriving, fourishing city, and may not
be quite so Cody city as it ought to be, but
she is not ready for Sunday night theater
yet, and Mr. Waite made a grand mistake.

NO SMUGGLING NOW.
The Supreme Court Decides What a
Traveller May Import Free.

WASHINGTON, April IA question of con-
siderable interest to travellers returning from
abroad, namely, what constitutes "wearing
apparel in actual use,' which by law is ex-
empted from duty, was decided by the SUI
preme court of the United States to-day.
VIM. Astor, plaintiff in error, citizen of
the United States, arrived home from a visit
to Europe in the end of September with his
family, by vessel, and brought with him
wearing apparel bought there, for his and
their use, to be worn here during the season
then approaching, not excessive in quantity
for persons of their means, habits and station
in life, and their ordinary outfit for winter.
A part of the articles had not been worn, and
the duties were exacted ON all these articles.
This the court holds, under section 2, sos of
the revised statutes, exempting from duty
"wearing apparel in actual use and other
personal effects not merchandise" The
proper rule to be applied was to exempt from
duty such articles as fulfilled the following
conditions. First, wearing apparel owned
by the passengers and in a condition to be
worn at once, without further manufacture.
Second, brought with him as passenger and
lHtcHueu IOI USE vi "eaI ny hIihool1 VI MS
family who accompanied him as passengers,
and not for sale or purchase, or imported for
other persons, or to be given away. Third,
suitable for the season of the year which was
Immediately approaching at the time
Of arrival; and Fourth, not ex-
ceeding in quantity, quality or value
what the passenger is in the habit of ordi-
narily providing for himself and his family
at that time and keeping on hand for his
wants in view Of their means, habits and
station in life, even though such articles had
not been actually worn. Judgment of the
circuit court was reversed, and the case re-
manded with instructions to award new
trial The chief justice announced the court
would adjourn for the term on the first Mon
day in May, and would hear no more argu-
ments after April 25

The Fargo Election.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

FARGO April THE supporters of the
successful Yerxa ticket at the municipal cleo
ton to-day are wild over the result, and are
parading with band and torch lights. The
majorities are a surprise, ranging from about
200 to nearly 500, and were brought about by
a variety of causes, one of which perhaps
was that the vote cast is nearly 1000 less
than the registry. Many were dissatisfied
with the character of the canvass, and would
not go to the polls. No unusual breach of
the peace occurred, and there were but few
arrests.

tween citizens of various states gives greater
need for uniform system of this nature.
The state laws upon this subject differ SO
greatly that they cannot be relied upon in
general interstate business. A CONNER
eial nation should protect foreign creditors
in dealing with its citizens, and give
them one law upon which they can rely, in
stead of thirty eight unreliable state laws as
now exist. The present laws breed roguery,
promote perjury and place a premium upon
fraud. The failures in the United States in
creased from s65, 900, 900 in 1880 to s173,-
000,0 900 in 1888, largely because of the in
efficiency of the state systems of bankruptcy.

NORTHWESTERN Zimmerman, April 81.
Yellow pine seems to be steadily growing
in favor. Each year of the last three or four
has seen steady increase in the amount
used in this city Chicago. Among many
cases of its use the following are among the
most prominent: The new board of trade
building will require 100000 feet of yellow
pine flooring. The new panorama building
on Wabash avenue will be finished entirely
in this wood. The quarters of the board of
education in the new city hall will require
about 10000 feet of yellow pine flooring
also. The five public schools to be erected
this year will have all of their wood work
made of this southern rival to the northern
king of woods.
