QUIET UNDER THE BLUFF.
No Trouble Yesterday on the Bur
IingtOn & Northern Improvement.

The situation of the strike on the Bur-
lingtOn & Northern railroad was practi-
cally the same as upon the close Of the rio
of the previous day. Officers patrolled the
grounds throughout the day, and would alt
low no one on the premises but the half
dozen men engaged about the camp. A
mile or so down the river from the scene of
Thursdays fight another gang of eighty
men were at work yesterday, but a number
of those who quit work on the upper I'M
provement induced them to stop about mid
day. Quite a number of the men were
calling for their time yesterday, and were
promptly paid, with the understanding that
they could not go TO work again under any
circumstances. These men were congre-
gated about the beer shops in that section.
and the contractors feared might return to
aggressive tactics during the night He
asked that squad of police be furnished
until midnight. Patrolmen will be on hand
again to-day, when an attempt will be
made to resume operations. BY Monday it
is believed the men will all be ready for
work, except those who have demanded
their time, who will not be allowed to re-
turn. Practically the strike is at an end.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Outlaw rs SaIvini Acts tt.
Amusement Notes.

The "0utlaw" is lugubrious play, mon
strously fraught with the sorrowful. in fact
such an excessively gloomy tragedy that
none but an Italian could have written it,
and with lesser genius than Salvinrs to
pivot upon would bo an utter
failure as an acting play. 1t is
not altogether unnatural in plot, yet is such
a continuous succession of sorrowful Incl
dents that one does not want to give IL
second hearing. There are few fine situa-
tOnS, such, for, instance, the meeting of
the outlaw with his wife and
child, and the scene between Conrado and
Doctor PalmeiTi, when the latter
makes an eloquent appeal to the outlaws
better nature and disSuades him from de-
Stroying the peace of the innocent. These
scenes were skilfully managed and gave Oc-
caSion for some splendid acting, while the
honors were about equally divided between
the two Salvinis-father and sOn-and Miss
Viola Allen, who possesses a splendid con-
ception of her part as the suffering mother
and abandoned wife. Further than this
the play is made effective alone by Salvinrs
genius. There could be no finer exhibition
of the intensity Of emotion than in
those scenes in which his deep.
told of the whirlwind of passion
pent up in his breast and the restrained
rage governed by superhuman effort. The
death scene in the last act is as unique as it
is a tremendous piece of dramatic art,
rarely if ever matched on the stage
1t is not the counterfeit of death-it is death
i'm all its touching reality. When Clara
Morris dies she sinks suddenly and the
agony is over. Bernhardt dies hard and
with her eyes open. But it is the stage
death. In the OUTLAW" Salvini dies by
degrees-it is the actual struggle, as we
have seen it time and again, between eX-
piring nature and the sceptred king of
terrors. There is the heaving of
the thick breath, the failing
speech, the gutteral death notes,
the clutching of the convulsed hand, the
shake of the palsied head. the cold staring
eyes as they set in eternal sleep-all so real
that one can scarce resist the impulse to
"ush upon the stage TO the relief of the
dying man. And at last after a fruitleSs
effort TO gather his child to his bosom the
head sinks upon the breast and the lifeless
form drops from the chair 10 the floor, there
is a sense of relief that it is all over. To-
night ''0thellO." which is Salvini's greatest
part, will be given. This afternoon at mat
inee the junior Salvini will play Romeo, as
sisted by Miss Viola Allen as Juliet.

bin and His Peculiar Methods.
81 hardly think" said p. II. Kelly, ESQ.,,
to GLOBE reporter yesterday, THAT it is
necessary to make any comment on the
Mankato postof1ce matter, after Mr.. Wise's
card and the Grant editorial which appears
in this mornings GLOBE.
Il knew perfectly well when I saw
Senator Sabn had put forward the plea
that Mr.. Wise had vilified Gen. Grant while
on his death bed, and after his death, it
was falsehOod
John c. Wise is too kind-hearted and
honorable a man to play the part Of ghoul
and if chat editorial from the MankatO Re-
view of last July, which you print in the
GLOBE this morning could have been read
III the senate when Mr.. Wise's confirmation
was up, Senator Sabin would have had
cause to blush for his statement. 1t would
have so fully exposed the groundlessness of
this charge that the senate would have re-
pudiated his personal plea as well.
There could be no better evidence of the
groundleSsness of the senatorial controversy
with the president relative to combinations
than the rejection of such man as Mr..
Wise.
Senator Sabin has taken a position
which will prove his Nemesis. When a
man occupying the high Office he does. low
ers the dignity of his position to the level
OF the petty politician for the purpose of
revenge. he loses not only the respect of
his constituents bat of the country at large
This is especially true when man with
such a crooked business record as the SEN
ators and the offence of the person upon
whom he wreaks his vengeance, consists in
honestly criticisng that crookednesS. l
thought Mr. Sabin had more political sa-
gacity than TO have gone on record as he
has in this matter and invited public atten-
ton TO his so called personal grievances.
These grievances simply consist of
Mr.. Wise's quite mild but truthful
comments upon very disreputable business
transactions which took three or four
millions out of the pockets of the stock
holders in the Saltwater Car company for
the benefit of some one not known to out
side stockholders.
THE less attention Mr.. Sabin directs to
his personal reasons for opposing Mr.
Wise the better for him, and the more at
tentiOn he turns to it the better for MIR.
Wise, as it rebounds greatly to his credit
Sabin will find it is q case of reflex action.
John c. Wise has too well established
reputation in this state 10 be harmed by
any shafts which Senator Sabin can hurl
at him, and If his vindictiveness will bring
forth the whole truth about both parties it
would not be surprising if senators should
ask the president to again send Mr.. WiSe's
name to them, that they may rectify the
gross wrong they have been deceived into
perpetrating.
Il am sure the entrapped senate will re-
Duke the act Of the senator if the oppor-
tunity is offered then.o

BRICK MASONS.

The following was sent TO the GLOBE with
request for publication. We insert IL,
errors OF statement and all. Mr.. Lewis
Baker never heard until now of the matters
referred TO, either through Mr.. Hanna, Mr..
Phillips, or otherwise. He received a letter
from some bricklayers in Wheeling iuquiring
about prices of such work in ST. Paul, to
which he replied that he was not posted on
the subject and declined 10 give any advice.
To the Editor of the Globe:
ST. PAUL, April 1.-The following letter
was received by BrlcklayerS' Union No. l of
Minnesota in answer to inquiries made by
them concerning matters in the trade and its
connecting interests:
Wheeling w. Va, March 29.-M. Nc
Donald, Corresponding Secretary No. l,
Minnesota. Dear Sir and Brother: Your
letter of inquiry came duly 10 hand. and
have only delayed answering it on account
of gathering up the information you desire.
The report that brcklayers were wanted at
your place was brought here by
one Thomas Hanna, who left here
to have a business engagement at st. Paul
with Lewis Baker. editor and proprietor of
the ST. Paul GLOBE, where he met man
by the name OF William Phillips. a former
resident of this place. who told him of the
chances there were for bricklayerS, and to
try and induce them to come out 10 your
place. Also, Mr.. Baker has been written
to in regard to work for bricklayers, and
has answered by sending the writer a copy
of his paper containing advertise
ments for proposals for his new building
to be erected in your city during the COM
ing season. None of our men started that
way. Your letters have satisfied them in
the premises. We do not propose to start
on a tomfoors errand. nor will they least
of all do anything that will injure our
union in any sense or degree. but do all we
can to promote the interests of the intema-
tiOnal union and all unions, nor will we
listen to any reports or advertisements for
men from your place, unless they are
agreed to through report by your union.

Pleasant surprise.

Rev. DR.. Riheldoffer on retiring from the
reform school was subject to a succession of
surprises. First the lady officers OF the in
stitution called in a body upon him and
and presented him with beautiful ebony
gold-headed cane with very pleasant re-
marks.
Yesterday afternoon he and his wife
retired from the school TO the residence or
his son. Mr.. John Riheldoffer, where they
expect to remain for few weeks. Here
they were surprised again by number
the graduates and late employees OF the in
stitution, who presented the doctor with a
beautiful gold badge bearing the following
inscription:
Presented 10 Rev. j. G. Rhieldaffer,
IN commemOration of eighteen years Iaith-
full service as superintendent of the Mime
sofa state reform school,"
The Presentation was accompanied with
some very pleasant and appropriate remin-

that steps be taken to establish one or more
parks in the Sixth ward. and it was dis
cussed by Messrs. Lienau, Prescott Erd-
man and Boston, the general opinion being
that part of the city park fund should be
secured. The resolution was finally laid
over until the next meeting.
DIR. Mcnamara brought up the Ontario
plan of paying for Improvements in INSTALL
ments. which was discussed somewhat and
laid over. the doctor promising TO present a
synopsis of the plan mentioned at the next
meeting.
Mr.. Lineau introduced a resolution to the
effect that the city engineer be requested to
push forward surveys in the Sixth ward so
that streets could be graded, sewers con-
structed and other improvements made,
and it was adopted.

II. ii. Young. secretary of the state

postofiice removals yesterday and referred
to the Mankato postofiice affair as follows:
Il have been acquainted with John c.
Wise since 1851 knowing him intimately
during the greater part of the time. / never
knew him to be guilty of anything mean or
dishonorable, but have always found him
fair-minded, just in his dealings and willing
to make reparation in case he had nm
willingly done injury TO another. We have
differed, sometimes widely. in our opinions,
and as newspaper editors have INDUCED in
somewhat severe reflections upon each
other. But even during our quarrels have
always been compelled to admit that his
conduct towards me was hardly blame
worthy. 1t surprises me very much TO
learn that he has provoked Senator Sabin
TO such all extend as that gentleman's op-
position TO his confirmation as postmaster
seems 10 imply. l think there must be a
mistake somewhere"

SIGNING THEIR NAMES.
Transients at the Hotels and Their
Views on Current Events

c. L. Kindred, Brainerd, was seen at the
hotels yesterday. He said political matters
up in the Fifth congressional district had
not, as yet, excited any interest or COM
ment. So far as he was informed Knute
Nelson, the present congressman from the
district, would be returned if he desired
such honor for third term. He said that
Mr.. Nelson had done everything for the
district it was possible. and had acquitted
himself so as to command the respect of the
Republicans throughout the district; and
this would result in his denomination and
reelection. He thought that Nelson would
not be averse to going back TO congress, and
so everybody would be satisfied.
-
Mr. Kindred said that he knew of no
other candidates for Nelson's place. al
although there might be several who were
willing TO serve their country and their
constituents by acting as representative in
congress for the next two or three winters.
Mr.. Kindred wanted it distinctly understood
that he was not a candidate for the place i'm
any event. and was a strong advocate for
Mr.. Nelson's third term.
Mr. Kindred was bitter opponent Of Mr..
Nelson In 1882 on the occasion of the lat
terS first election to congress. At that
time he made fight and expended large
amount of money to no effect, as Nelson
came out victorious and, Kindred retired
from politics. OF late he has been devot-
ing himself to making money. and has
made quite success of the undertaking.
