Notes Concerning the Minneapolis Vest
ern League CIuL.
Manager J. E. Whitcomb, who is in Kan
sas City arranging dates for the Minneapolis
team in the Western league, telegraphs
that he will arrive home this evening. The
club will soon be in condition for its
southern tour. Mr.. Whitcomb has not sent
notice as to where the season is to be opened
but presumably it will be in one of the
southern cities.
There was some objections to admitting
the Minneapolis club to the Western league,
owing to the distance Of this city
from the others in the league,
but this objection has been over
come and our people may expect to see good
ball playing in this city this season.
The Western league is not composed this
year of small towns, as last season, where
games must be improbable. The cities are
Indianapolis, Cleveland, Toledo, Milwaukee,
Kansas City and Minneapolis.
Games played in this city viii draw largely
from three large cities, namely: Min neapolis,
St. Paul and saltwater. Ii viii be the only
CITY in the state with a club and couse-
quently the attendance viii doubtless be
much larger than last year.
II Is prooable that Manager Nhltcomo viii
at once sign Calvin and Cady, the st. Paul
battery. It is said that Calvin is pitching a
saucy ball this year. Cady IS not only good
behind the plate, but he is strong at the bat
and an excellent base runner.
One strong point in favor Of our team is
its base running. The boys are all swift
runners.

majority, owing to certain unfortunate cir
cumstances which did not exist in the cam
paign just ended. Two years hence the
Democrats will undoubtedly reclaim their full
representation in the city council.
The days work in the Fourth ward was
notable one and the Democratic victory pro-
nounced and glorious. 1t is strongly Re-
publican ward and is furthermore supposedly
an advocate of high license and the continu-
ance of patrol limits in somewhat modified
form. The Democrats are not few who are
positive and outspoken in their belief that
the result of the election has established who
is to become
THE NEXT MAYOR OF MINNEAPOLIS.
The Fourth ward has always been claimed
by the Republicans as one of the most in
| telligent sections of the CITY, and the count
| of the votes cast on Tuesday night confirms
| the statement that the voters of that ward
are not bigoted. They voted for the candi-
| date they honestly considered the best fit for
the position and they did not err one jot in
| their judgment. Many times a candidate,
Mr.. Morse has only once met with
a defeat at the polls. This fact is
competent and reliable test of his popularity
and certain testimonial of the confidence
reposed in him by his constituency. 1t is
urged by many that owing to the pronounced
majority which the Republicans hold in
Minneapolis the
DEMOCRATS SHOULD LOSE NO TIME
in preparing for the mayoralty struggle next
spring. Everything depends upon perfect
ing solid organization. That is the wounds
which have teen opened in factional strife
must be healed and the opposing factions
must be cemented together. And there is no
sane reason why they should not be. The
Republicans have had just as bitter factional
wars and they have invariably arrived at a
satisfactory compromise, as witness the Gill
fillan congressional and the Young judicial
campaigns last fall. 1t should not be said
that the Republicans outgeneral the Demo
Gratis.
1T IS INDEED UNFORTUNATE
that just little more effort was not made in
the Sixth ward. Had the Democrats not been
quite so apathetic they would not sing to-
day "Thou art so near and yet SO far.'' Only
forty-four additional votes were necessary.
Yet no one is blamable except those who,
through Indifference, remained away from
the polls. The workers were out and they
did noble days work. 1t is said that the
nationality question was brought into the

BUILDING INSPECTION.
The annual Report of the City Building
Inspector.

The Annual Report of the City Building
Inspector.
AT the meeting of the city council last
night the building inspectors report was read
and placed on file. The following material
points were taken from it: The report first
calls attention to the fact that the Office was
created after the building season of last year
was far advanced, and consequently the in
spector was obliged to rely upon approYima-
tons of the cost of buildings erected previ-
ous TO his Inauguration, and the same may
therefore be inaccurate in some instances.
He gives the following summary of buildings
erected last year:
BUILDING SUMMARY,
Whole number of buildings, 1900;
total cost. .-.......--...-. S7,5OO,O0O
Number brick buildings, $50; cost OF
latter. Observation-Disclosures. 1850, 900
Wooden business buildings, 125; cost
of latter. 100000
Public and miscellaneous buildings,
$50; cost of same. 100000
Residences, 1875; cost Of same..... 3,050,000
He had issued 40 permits for repairs on
buildings in the fire limits; IS for removal
of old buildings and 40 for plum bing build
ings. There have been % complaints fled
for violations of building ordinance; 500
official visits to buildings in process of con-
struction, public buildings, manufactures,
old buildings, buildings liable TO fall, take
fire or become preiudicial TO health. The in
spector had made 1000 visits to buildings
for the purpose Of enforcing the cleaning
ordinance and in obtaining evidence in
cases of actual violations of the general re-
ouirements of the ordinance. The report
states that much of the time of the inspector
had been devoted to completing the official
records, issuing permits, and in
preparing an index, which is
now nearly finished, with capacity OF 100,-
600 names. Besides the official records,
the Office now has ncleus Of a collection
of specimens of building materials, plumb
ing appliances and other things of interest to
builders. The report computes the time re-
quired to make and issue permits
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The inspector, in voluminous style, made
multitudinous recommendations, among
which were the following:
A system whereby the cesspools In that
portion OF the city no. reached by sewers
shall be periodically cleaned should be
adopted.
No plumber shonld be allowed to do any
work until after license shall have been
issued to him upon thorough examination
respecting his competency. That every ap-
plicant for plumbing permit be required 70
furnish the inspector with an outline plan Of
the Job in contemplation.
That the system known az the back ven
tilatiye system for traps be made optional.
TIRE PROTECTION.
That the thickness of chimney walls be
rade sfx inches exclusive of MASTER tfuiuC.
That the outside wall Of the fue shall be six
teen inches instead Of twenty square.
That the ordinance be changed 80 that the
chimney foundations for wooden buildings
be made the same Is for bricks Prohibit the
use of stove pipe in lieu Of . chimney. That

At breakfast yesterday morning Smith did

of which was explained by a paper of NOR

their efforts and finally pronounced him out

With the completed results of the election

Both Democrats and Republicans were able
to extract satisfaction and find cause for
graduation, though the former were perhaps
a little better pleased than the latter. The
Democrats went into the campaign with a
widening breach in their REALISTICALLY two

in perfunctory kind of way, as Of men
who had little to hope for. To them, the re-
suit was gratifying, and especially the result

The committee appointed from the county
commissioners and the agents for the insur-
ance companies interested met yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of comforting con-
corning the adjustment of the losses on the
county court house. It was finally
agreed that the matter should be
left to two experts, who, if they
cannot agree, shall be empowered to call in
a referee, whose vote shall be decisive. The
commissioners named Aid. S. C. Cutler and
the insurance men Barclay Cooper, as the
experts. Both gentlemen are experienced
builders and contractors, and there is little
danger that the services of referee will be
needed. The commissioners and the insur-
ance people then signed an agreement
which binds them to abide by the decision Of
the experts.

only members of the board who supported

that it will cost too much to buy site near

obeyed ten years from now the failure to
obtain convenient location will appear
even more absurd and shortsighted.
