THE ROBERT STREET BRIDGE.
will the Foundation BE Done on
Contract Timel

AT - o'clock noon to-day the time eX-
pires for the receiving of bids for the super
structure of the proposed Robert street
bridge. There has been more or less talk
about the apparent slowneSs with which
the SALES.--FUTURE is being built and many
people have been of the opinion that the
work would not be done in contract time.
Last week it was rmOred about the city
that the contractors, Michael 0'Brien
IL Son, were about 10 Sub-let the contract.
Yesterday this was stated TO have been
done, a gentleman named Sherwood being
spoken of as the Sub-contractOr.
Last evening a GLOBE reporter QueS-
toned Mr.. O'Brien as to the truth of the
statement and received the reply:
''NO, we have not Sub-let the contract
nor have we been thinking of it. In fact
we would not sub-let it if we could get the
work done for half the contract price"
''DOyOu expect to have the work COM
pleted at the time specified in the contract?"
asked the reporter.
''HeS, we expect TO have il done by this
time. The work is now progressing favor
ably. Much of it. however. does not show.
We have now got all the stone quarried
which we require. and that is a large item.
1t will be transported to the place required
in few days. As to the other part of the
work, we are working without delay. Mr..
Sherwood and Minneapolis man are now
engaged on the piling at so much per lineal
foot That is all the work we will not do
ourselves. 1t is certainly 10 our advantage
To finish by Jan. 1, for every day after that
there is fine of 500 attached. There is
no cause for alarm about the work not be-
ing done in time"

backward smuggling.

Two professional pugilistS, a set of box
ing gloves, q timekeeper, squad of re-
porters and forty colored sports was the
makeup of party which assembled in a
small yard in the rear OF the Monte CristO
saloon, Fifth street, yesterday afternoon to
enjoy the luxury of a sparring contest.
Everything was on the quiet. There were
no buckets of water or SpOngeS, no seconds
or spongemen. There were none of these
necessary, as the gloves were soft and
the contest short. The opponents of the
manly art were Prof. Hadley and John S.
Barnes. These gentlemen had at first in
tended to use hard gloves simply TO test
their respective ability. After mature de
liberation it was thought better to use soft
gloves, as the police might drop around
after the fight to learn what the whole
thing meant. Accordingly soft gloves were
used. Owing TO the convenient size of the
yard it was not found necessary to
rope of spot, but the men
stepped out in usual fighting gear
and went at it. The timekeeper at the
recent Cardiff Wilson fight held the watch
and acted also as referee. The men faced
each other and spared four four-minute
rounds. Both men handled themselves
very well, but failed to get in very effective
work. Hadley Succeeded in getting in
some good blows on Barnes body and neck,
while the latter showed particular fancy
for Hadley'S face which he touched an I'M
comfortable number of times 1t was the
general opinion at the conclusion that
Barnes had done the better work. The
same performance takes place daily while
Hadley is i'm training. but on a less severe
scale than that of Yesterday.

PREPARING FOR THE FAIR.
Work OF the Board oF Managers and
VariOuS Committees.

The entire board ofmanagers of the State
Agricultural society. except Vice President
Bailey of Duluth, went to the new fair
grounds yesterday and made complete in
SpectiOn of the various departments of the
work. The track, the construction of which
is under the special supervision of Vice
President DE Graft. was found almost COM
pleted and the other work was progressing
very satisfactorily. The board held short
business session at the grounds and ap-
proved the contract with Rugg * Co., for
digging the necessary wells; with the Mis-
siSsippi Windmill company, for the cree
ton of tanks, and with H. y. Leighton.
for the construction of the dairy building.
Accompanying the managers were MeSSrs.
Smith and Wheeler of Iowa. president of
the agricultural society of that state, who
are making visits to several state
fair grounds and inspecting the
general layout of each. with view to de-
termining on some as model for the pro-
posed Iowa state grounds. They have
visited the Missouri and Illinois grounds,
and say that neither meets their ideas as
nearly as those in Minnesota.
On returning 10 St. Paul last evening, the
several committees held sessions at the
Merchants and disposed of numerous mat
tiers, which will be submitted to the board
for action at a meeting TO be held at the
Office. near the grounds, this morning at 10

Is legally the treasurer of District No. in
that county. Jared Benson had been treas
urer from September, 1882, To September,
1883, when Charles Ball received a majority
of votes. Ball neglected TO file any notice
of acceptance of the Office, and 1t was more
than the prescribed ten days before he gave
bond which was approved and filed. Both
men claim the Office. The attorney gem
eral says that Ball is not entitled to hold
the Office by reason of his bond being filed
so late. Nor is Benson entitled 10 hold 1t,
as his right to do so ended at the expira-
ton of the term for which he was elected.
A vacancy exists to be filed at the next

made, convention would be called in a
few days. Since then we hear nothing of
the Mississippi river convention, nothing
from the executive committee. Rut we hear
New Orleans paper Directing to holding
any convention at st. Paul.
So, after three months of delay, we are
placed in the humiliating position of being
considered as merely the little end of the
Mississippi river, the tail of the dog asking
in vain 10 be wagged. Now it must be inn
pressed upon the people of the valley and
upon congress that we are not the little end
of this river, but that we have an empire
back of US with capacity TO furnish bread
to the world.
The so-called statesmen of the Northwest
also need educating. The statistics offered
by Capt. Blakeley showed that many con-
greSsmen from Illinois. Iowa and Wiscon-
sin voted against the appropriation for
the Mississippi river.
1t is nearly twenty years since Gen. G..
X. Warren made his surveys for improving
this river. From 1865 or '66 up to 1878 not
a dollar was ever expended for the improve
ment of the bed of this river above the
rapids. Scanty appropriations had been
made for snag boats. Instead of procuring
appropriations for this river, over So, O00,-
600 were procured for improving the Fox
river canal in Wisconsin, and over $500, 600
for making a water power at st. Anthony
falls. Our so-called statesmen had not
heard of the Mississippi river until the con-
vention of October, 1877, called at st. Paul
by this chamber, brought the subject before
congress and secured the first appropriation
of $3.50, 0e0 in 1878.
This was followed up almost every year
since until we have had in round numbers
81, 600, 900 for the river above the rapids
The whole sum expended on the river from
the guilt TO Minneapolis amounts TO S2S,-
600, 600 (rOund numbers) of which the river
below st. Louis has received $50, 600. 600,
the river from st. Louis TO Rock Island
about 81, 600, 600, and from Rock Island TO
ST. Paul about SI,000,000 1t avails us
nothing if as many more millions are ex-
pended from the gulf to the rapids, If the
river from here to the rapids is left unim-
proved. 1t is the upper end of the ladder.
by which alone we reach deep water and
get a dollars advantage of the general river
Improvement.
We must assert our rights as an integral
part of the river and entitled to its I'M
provement simultaneously with the river
below the rapids. We need a convention
TO take forward step for ourselves, and
emphasize our needs i'm a manner which
will be heard and needed, and with united
voice of the Northwest which cannot be
drowned out or eclipsed by the claims of
more aggressive claimants below us.

THE APPOINTMENTS MADE.
Thirteen Policemen Selected from
GA Applicants.

The anxiety of GA applicants for posi-
tons on the police force was relieved yes
terday, when Mayor Rice announced the
lucky thirteen to don the brass buttons.
The work of making the selections was a
difficult one, owing TO the large number of
applications. When the mayor first assumed
the reins of city government, the applica-
tons for police positions began 10 come in
as thick as leaves in autumn. There was q
whole barrel full of them. This number
was augmented again after the action of the
council, empowering the mayor TO increase
the force, and in a short time 1SS additional
applications were received. 1t was out of
this number that the men were selected.
The latter include four Germans, or men of
German descent three Americans. three
Irishmen, one Scotchman, one Pole and
one Dane. Their names and residences are
as follows:
George Gill. 1e Bluff street; Henry Gruber
l45 Carroll street; James 5. Ross. POI Thomas

1t was decided to select the mounted men
from the old members of the force. These
are Officers Budy, McFetridge, Finn. Weed.
Cummings and Meyers. There thus re-
mains two more men to be selected as pa
trolmen, one of which will be colored. The
newly-appointed officers were sworn i'm at
the city hall yesterday afternoon, and fitted
up temporarily with caps, batOns, etc.
Part of them
BEGAN DUTY LAST NIGHT.
When the mounted men are taken ont
the new men will increase the present re-
liefs by three men each. The
increase in the police force will not
produce any change in those parts of the
city at present under patrol, but will form
protection for the outskirts. Men will now
be placed on Arlington hills, Rice street
bridge, Ramsey street and Pleasant avenue
and st. Anthony hill, there being one man
at each of the points day and night The
Others will be placed where il is thought
! they will be most needed. The additional
ground covered by patrOlmen represents so
much more work for the sergeant.s who
have TO visit each mans beat at least once
every night. The mounted men will be
ready for work in day or two, probably
tomorrow. Their hours of duty will be
from o'clock p. m. to l o'clock a. III.
-Four of these men will be located in the
Seventh ward and two in the outlying por-
tons of the Fifth ward. The mounted
men will be directly under control of Officer
Budy, to whom they will report all that
transpireS. Up to such time as better ar
rangements are made small building be-
longing to John Hinkel, in Union Park.

of the city. Prisoners will be brought in

THE RIVER CONVENTION.
The Reasons for Calling IL CogentIy
Given.

Some time ago Mr.. McClung offered the
following preamble and resolutions in the
meeting of the board of directors of the
chamber of commerce. They went over
from week to week and finally they were
adopted on Monday, and as the matter is
an important one they are given i'm full.
with Mr.. Meetings. remarks, as follows:
TIE RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The Mississippi river is the great
national highway, and il is matter of ma
tional importance to utilize il from the head
of navigation 70 the gulf, and
Whereas, Comparatively nothing is being
to improve the river above st. Louis, aud the
bulk of the appropriations go 10 the gulf end
of the river; therefore,
Resolved, That the chamber respectfully
requests the governor of Minnesota TO call a
Northwestern River convention, TO meet at
st. Paul in August or September next and to
invite the governors of all Northwestern
states and territories to unite in such a call.
CResolved, Further, That the committee on
Mississippi river confer with the governor
and make the necessary arrangements for the
success of said convention.
,sIR. M'CLUNG's REMARKS.
Nearly three months have elapsed since
this resolution was offered. Capt. BlakeIey.
for the Mississippi river committee, to
which it was referred, reported on the LIST
of May that the governor was in favor of a
convention of the whole Mississippi river
valley, and the committee recommended
that correspondence be opened with the ex-
ecutive committee of the Mississippi river
improvement at st. Louis and a general
convention asked for.
The pert reply TO this was an inquiry why
we wanted such a convention. The next
reply on the 18th of June informed us that
letters would be written to the different ex-
changes and. if no Serious objection was

Police i'm the seventh ward.

Some statements have recently been pub
lished to the effect that the people of the
Seventh ward do not look with favor on the
plan of having police system for that part
of the city. The GLOBE discussed this
question cOmprehensively ten days ago by
giving interviews with about twenty promi-
nent property owners of that part of st.
Paul, all but two of whom were in favor OF
having police protection of some kind. The
GLOBE has received numerous proofs
lately that this was the feeling of the ma
jority of the citizens there.

Sixth street with the Kerr pavement. Some
time ago this street was ordered paved with
cedar blocks, and yesterday the advertise

tisement caused the Twin City Street inn
psovement company to apply to the mayor to
call a meeting of the council for last even
