The Police Com MISSION 10 DISCUSS
Them This Afternoon.
This afternoon the police commission
will meet at 2 o'clock with closed doors to
consult the matter of filling the recent va
cancies in the police department
There are several new candidates for
promotion who will play their best cards.
The candidates for captaincy are Lieut..
DAILY and Sergt. Hill. Lieut.. Bosworth
states that he is not working for the pro-
motion. The candidates for lieutenancy
are Sergt. Hill, Sergt. Helm and Sergt.
McKernan, and the aSpirantS for the two
sergeants to be selected are legion. Tom
Nelson probably stands first, then there are
John Norman. Paul Mousse, Charles Kings
lev, Fred Malone, James Howard, Joseph
Laurence and others. The candidates for
police cIerlShip are Joe MannlX and Joe
Ellis, but it is stated on pretty good author
ity that the latter is not particularly anxious
to receive the appointment. The matter of
paramount Importance, however, to be
considered IS the conditions of the resigna-
ton Of Ed \. Stevens. Commissioner Sly
is OF the opinion that the conditions are
contrary to the wishes and expectations of
the commission. He had supposed that in
case Stevens did not resign, the same to go
into effect forthwith, summary dismissal
would follow. If he is to be practically eX-
onerated by the mayor there is no reason
for a change in the Office at all.
There are many who make the prediction
that in case Clerk Stevens is allowed to oc-
cupy the Office to the end of the year he will
be continued by the mayor to the end of his
term in the spring.

STATE ARCHITECTS.
Professional Conduct and Technical
Matters Discussed.

A round dozen members of the State
Architectural association met yesterday
afternoon in the rooms of the builders eX-
change, Vice President D. W. Willard of
ST. Paul in the chair. The report of the
treasurer showed balance OF $34. 35 in the
treasury, with an arrearage that would
bring the sum up to $50. Several names
were added to the list of membership. The
committee on sketches reported the accept
ance of any sketch showing the character
of building, whether it be in pencil or
ink. The committee on plumbing reported
in favor of fresh air inlets for general use,
but recommended change of size from
four inches. as required by the ordinance, to
two inches. The special committee to con-
slider the matter of required amendments to
the st. Paul building ordinance reported
that the engineer of that city had sent out
lot of blanks, which architects are eX-
pected to fill out and return, and from the
suggestions thus made a new ordinance will
be drafted. j. W. Stevens, st. Paul, ten
dered his resignation, which was
laid upon the table. Mr.. Stevens
explained that the conduct of
certain members of the association was such
that it was no honor to be included with
them in any organization. Prices were cut
and other unprofessional conduct committed
and he thought the shortest way out was to
resign. From this grew out long discus
sion. in which various architects complained
of others cutting below the scale of prices
to get work, of others ''doing work for the
advertisement" and of still others running
about, the moment they hear of man
buying a lot soliciting work and offering to
make plans. One member said it was be-
coming such state of affairs that he was
thinking of issuing chromos, with set of
plans to go with each. Instances of I'M
professional conduct were cited by several
architects, but it appeared such men were
not members of the association.
The association went into committee of
the whole to consider the matter of protect
ing clients in the payment of vouchers for
work done. Bonds given by contractors
were discussed at length, and finally the
committee rose and the association ad-
| iourned. The architects present were
Messrs. W. c. Whitney, F. G. Corser, G.
NJ. Goodwin, W. Fl. Hayes, D. W. Willard,
}. w. Stevens, j. K. Wilson, W. F.

MAKER OF PRIME MINISTER'S.

Parmell EXtOlIed and His Course
APpIauded by the League.
The Parnell branch of the Irish National
league held its regular meeting last evening
in Martins hall, with President McKernan
in the chair. The receipts of the evening
amounted to S9.75.
The principal speaker was Mr.. Thomas
Cauty, who reviewed the work accom-
plished by Parnell since he assumed the
leadership of the Irish Nationalist party.
Parnell was not prime minister, said the
speaker, but he is influential enough in
British politics to make and unmake
prime ministers at will. Assuming, at the
lowest calculation that eighty Parnellite
members are elected for seats in
the next parliament, the speaker,
basing his conjecture upon the electoral re-
turns so far received in this country, would
give the Conservatives 365 members in the
next house and the Liberals 315, thus show
ing that Parnell with his eighty men could
defeat the Tories on any great question be-
fore the house, and would therefore be in
dependent of that party if it were opposed
to self-government for Ireland. AS regards
the integrity of the British empire the
speaker exclaimed in the words of Grattan,
Perish the empire, if it be necessary to its
maintenance to keep Ireland in poverty and
thraldom." What concern of IriShmen is
it that the empire should be great and
powerful if Ireland was not considered a
part Of il and English laws were not prop
erly administered there. The union of
Ireland with Great Britain must be severed
if Ireland would ever be prosperous and
happy. Trade, commerce and manufac
lures in Ireland, since the enforced union
has existed, have languished and are al
most extinct. In order to revive Ireland's
industries it is absolutely essential that Ire
land has home parliament to foster them.
The speaker concluded by saying that the
dawn of Irish freedom was already per-
ceptible, and that Parnell seemed to have
been divinely commissioned to be the Moses
to lead his countrymen from bondage to
freedom.
The committee on procuring a new hall
reported that the hall attached to the Holy
Rosary church was secured for future meet
ings of the branch. On motion it was car
ried that henceforth meetings be held on
Sunday evenings in the new quarters. The
committees of the Parnell and Davitt
branches, appointed to arrange for speakers
to organize a branch in the East division.
will meet at the Office of j. T. Tobin. liz
Hennepin avenue. on Friday evening next
at 7:30 o'clock. The members of both COM
mittees are requested to be in attendance.

were marked by unusually brilliant toilets.
Every box held a select coterie, and the
lorgnettes of the ladies divided their atten-
ton between stage and house, hOnOrs being
easy in this regard.
Victor, the Blue Stocking" is certainly
the gem of the Ideals repertoire, and that
this fact is well known is evident in that
every seat in the house for Friday, which
brings the same bill. is already sold. Man.
ager of the house met manager of the
Ideals and affectionately squeezed each
others hands in silent congratulatiOn as
they glanced over the sea Of heads. The
charming little opera went off beautifully
and the applause and encores split many a
pair of new kids. Enthusiasm and laughter
shone in every face and contented pride sat
pictured on the countenances of the Ideals
as they acknowledged the last encore. To-
night ''The Bohemian Grip will be given,
and THE Musketeers" will be the bill for
to-day's matinee.

felt confident that they could dispose OF the
matters coming before them promptly,
thoughtfully and discreetly. He had not
been advised as to the existence OF any cry
ing evils upon society and did not propose
to read any homily upon crime or lecture
upon the duties of a juryman. The stat
utes are clear decisive and explicit, and
there was no need of further instruction.
The Judge then read the law and defined
the meaning of preSentment and an in
dictment. and explained the rules for the
reception of evidence, etc. o. A. Pray
was appointed foreman and the jury re-
tired in custody of James Doran. bailitf.
Judge Koon made no alluSion to the So
cial evil question nor to the request of
Ed A. Stevens, the city police clerk, for an
investigation. The jury is an unusually
strong one, embracing more prominent bust
ness men and leading residents of Mime
apolis than ordinarily, and the Judge evil
IDENTIFY meant what he said when he point
eddy remarked that he considered them en-
tirely competent to deal with the various
evils in a manner which will be for the best
interests of society. The jury spent the
afternoon in investigating the case OF Mar
tin Lynch, charged with asSaulting Michael
Donavon with dangerous weapon, E. j..
Moffit, charged with enlightenment, and
George R. Tanner, charged with keeping a
house of ill-fame.
THE PETIT JURORS
will be drawn to-day, and peculiar com
plicatlon has arisen. The new law which
went into effect last spring required that a
list of 500 names should be selected by the
judges of the court, the clerk and county
auditor, from which the juries should be
drawn from time to time, in panels of forty,
to serve two weeks each. For the present
term 120 jurors are needed and only eighty
eight names remain of the list, all the
others having done service. AS result,
some of the jurors who served during the
first six months will again be called upon to
do two weeks jury duty at 81 per day.
BONDS FORFEITED.

called and declared forfeited:
Joseph Ring; bondsmen, Joseph Whitcomb,

THE LIBR AIRY BOARD.
They Receive a Proposition From
the Academy of Natural Sciences.

INC [4CdGt1ny SCtcuCeSs
A special meeting of the library board
was held at o'clock last evening. The
building committee was expected to make a
report. A proposition was received from
the Academy of Natural Sciences, in which
it was asked that lecture room and room
for the scientific collection of the academy
be provided in the proposed new library
building. 1t was proposed that the proper
ties turned over should remain the property
of the academy, while the cost of mainte-
nance and the salary of a curator be paid
by the library board. The academy re-
served the right to publish its regular re-
ports, but at its own expense, the agree
ment to remain in force nlnety-nine years.
Referred to the building committee, COM
posed of Messrs. Pillsbury. Lowry and
koon. A lengthy and somewhat desultory
discussion of plans for the building fol-
lowed. Judge Koon was of the opinion
that the most important matter first to be
entertained is how much ground it shall
cover and what the shape of the building
shall be.
MIR. Lowry believed that it should be left
with the architects to plan it, upon the in
struction that plot of from sixteen to
eighteen feet be left vacant On the Henne-
pin avenue side.
1t was suggested that the probability is
that all the competitive plans of the five
architects selected to draft sketches will be
rejected, but it was thought that some good
ideas can be gained from them, and Mr..
Lowry proposed that the architect to make
the final plans shall be taken to the Eastern
cities to inspect buildings, and to make
plans in degree after them. Prof. Oftedal
thought that the $500 to be paid for
sketches will be money well. invested 1t
was agreed that in case any architect not
named by the board wished to make

trict Court Notes.

ekASt OOeAe HNosOSe
Sanford S. Small yesterday commenced
an action against A. F. Boardman to re-
cover 50, 500 on promiSSOry notes. 1t is
claimed that the notes were made payable
to the defendant by the plaintiff at the de-
PENDANTS request, who said he would pay
them when due; that the notes were for ac-
commOdation, and no consideration was
given in exchange. The notes were never
paid by the defendant, and, after being
protested, the plaintiff was compelled to
pay them. He therefore seeks to recover
the amount of the notes, alleging that he
has reason to believe that the defendant ne
gotiated them before maturity and received
a portion OF the whole OF their face value.
