Nal "-NA-''i' meeting, III was ac-
cepted. He recommended Robert l.. Kelly
as his successor and that gentleman was
invited to be present at the next meeting.
An important feature of the meeting was
the presence of delegation of colored men
representing two-thirds of colored voters of
the city. They stated, without going into
formalitieS. that the coIored people had
lived under both Republican and Democratic
administrations in Minneapolis and ST. Paul
and they were pronounced in favor OF the
Democratic. They owed no allegiance To
the Republican party and were tired of be-
ing their tools and dupes and moreover they
aid not believe in passing from state of
actual slavery into one of political bondage.
They believed they voiced the sentiment of
a majority of the cOlored people of the
North when they said they preferred the
Democracy-the party of the people.
There was some little informal discussion
of the time of holding the convention, with
relation to the Republican convention; sew
eral members believed in an aggressive cam
paign and favored holding their convention
first, while others believed i'm waiting SO as
to take advantage of the blunders the Re-
publicans would surely make. 1t was
finally decided TO postpone discussion until
the next meeting. Ii was also decided 10
leave TO the Individual wards the matter of
holding ward or precinct caucuses. the
Sixth having already signihed its intention
of having precinct caucuses. At the next
meeting it is desired 20 have all ward and
precinct committeeman present for final ac-
ton.
The next meeting will be held on Friday,
the time and place TO be announced in the
GLOBE that morning. Each ward is re-
quested to send to the GLOBE Office its COM
plete ward and precinct committees at the
earliest date practicable.

MINNEAPOLIS SPORTS.
PHIL HAMMEL WINS.


Phil Hammel, the Chicago boy. won the
five-mile bicycle race at the Washington
rink last night from Grant Bell i'm 16 min
utes and 1234 seconds. 1t was an exciting
and hOtly-cOntested race throughout. 1t
was exciting on account of its cl0seneSs,
although neither rider pushed his machine
10 his utmost throughout the entire dis
lance, as they would have done had there
been any attempt at record breaking.
at the start Bell took the lead and held it
for one mile. On the second lap on the
second mile Hammel called for the pole and
took it on the back stretch. On the second
time around. however, afterwards Bell
passed to the lead. only TO lose it just be-
fore the completion of the third mile. Bell
managed TO shoot past again and held the
lead at the fourth mile score and, indeed.
up TO within three laps of the finish. 1t was
then that Hammel showed his mettle. He
laid down on his handles, cried for the pole,
and passed. but not without a struggle.
The remaining three laps were made in a
rush. Each did his utmost, but Hammel
opened up gap of ten lengths. which he
held TO the score. Following is the time:

A CHANGE OF BASE.
The Mooted Motor Question Takes De
Cided New Aspect.
The Executive Committee Throws
New Light on That Bond,
And Demands That the Motor Com
pany Resume steam Transit.

The executive committee representing
the people of the Seventh and Eighth wards
had an interesting session yesterday with
closed doors. Various matters came TO
light and this morning unexpected, not TO
say sensational. developments are made.
When the committee rose it had prepared
and afterwards handed to President Small
the following document;
Minneapolis, Mimi, March 2.-S. s. Small,
Esq, President Minneapolis, Lyndale 4 Min
netonka Railway, Sir: Gen. Washburn, as
we learn from published interview, refused
TO yield his views TO those of the people of
the Eighth and Seventh wards and withdraw
his objections TO the use of steam as a mo-
tive power on First avenue south below
Sixth street, the committee most interested
in the matter of rapid transit via the motor,
deem it best to address further communion
tons direct to those who are directly respon-
sible for the present condition of things.
They have learned that the prevalent opinion
that the motor company is under bonds to
Gen. Washburn under penalty of $500 day
not 10 use steam below Sixth street and ere
long not below Nineteenth street is not war
ranted by the facts, but that substantially
similar bond was executed by Mr.. Charles
Pillsbury, individually. in the penal sum of
500 day, the total penalty being limited
TO $50, 900. Now sir, the people we represent
are terribly in earnest and in no humor to be
tritied with. they bought their homes, many
of them, because they were assured rapid
transit and rapid transit they must have at
least until the properly constituted repre-
sentatives OF the city shall otherwise decree.
They do not recognize your right to adopt
as your guide an Individual contract, but ask
that you conform 10 the contract the COM
pany has made with the city and with the
terms upon which you secured so much right
of-way in the suburbs. For ourselves and
those we represent we therefore demand that
in according with existing motor ordinance,
and ignoring private contracts not in terms
binding upon your company, you at once re-
new the rapid transit until lately used, and
again use steam as motive power from
Washington avenue to the lakes, and in
making this demand we ask only that which
is clearly our due. Respectfully,
j. II. GIDDINGS,
VI. l.. HIGGINS,
JULIUS f.. MINER,
l.. II. TURNER,
IRA A. NEWELL,
Executive Committee.
Mr.. Small was seen shortly afterward
and said he had nothing to say at present in
relation to the document and its demand.
He has promised reply to-day, and until
then il would be manifestly improper to
foreStall the committee. 1t was learned
last night, upon undonbted authority, that
the Motor company had ordered cauStic
soda motor, to be delivered in Minneapolis
at the earliest possible moment.
A member of the committee was last
night asked what would be the next devel-
Opment and replied:
'YOu will see steam motors running as
usual within a week."

Five Winged Spider--GeOlOgy of
the Lake Superior District.

The academy of sciences met last night
and discussed botany, but the session was
lightly attended. Prof. Orstand read a
paper on five-winged spider, which he
had captured, and the insect was exhibited
to the members present. 1t was indeed a
novelty, and attracted not an incousidera-
BILE attention and comment. A theory was
advanced showing that it was possible for
a two-winged insect to develop four wings
Prof. Hall of the state university followed
III an extemporaneous lecture on the
Eastern sandstone, igneous and other stones
found in the Lake Superior region, espe-
cially on the southern shore The red sand
stone which he described is the same as used
in the Westminster church and other build
ings He raised the question as to whether
the cOpper-bearing rock and the red sand
stone are of the same age. Biologists had
been led to make the assertion that hori-
zontal sandstones are older than the tilted
ones, and that the copper-bearing sand
stones are of the triassic age or the same age
as the Connecticut valley sandstone.

THE LUMBERMEN,s ExCnANGE r..
September Rates Affirned--An Up
ward TendencY i'm the MnrkeI


At the meeting of the Lumbermen's ex-
change last night the September price list
was reaffirmed. The discount to dealers
was cut down to per cent, but no deduc-
tons are to be made TO consumers. 1t was
decided that all logs must be bought and
sold by the boom scale. 1t seemed to be
the general conviction that lumber would be
higher in June that at present, as country
yards are all pretty we'll cleaned and
large quantities are being shipped East,
and, Furthermore, it was stated that the
mills would not begin saving until June
thus creating a scarcity. The proposed
and probable reduction in hours constituting
a days work without a corresponding re-
duction in rates, would, it was thought
have tendency to give prices an upward
rush. 1t was reported that 175, 600, 900
feet of lumber was used in Minneapolis
last summer, and it is estimated there will
be an increase of % per cent. for this sea-

General Fancies.

j. G. Wyman has reiterated his deter
mination not TO become a candidate for
mayor. nor to accept the Republican nom
ination on any terms or under any circum
stances. This positively leaves him out.
He says he will support and elect any men,
Der of the party on the high license and
patrol line platform. The party could
scarcely find brighter or more intelligent
young exponent than Mr.. Wyman and in
and fare worse.
f. S. Corser goes TO the trouble to write
letter denying the report that he opposes
the reelection of Aid. Cole on account of
his promoter prOclivIties, but will support
him, in spite of ''his unfortunate position
with regard to the motor" Mr.. COrser is
one of those stiff-backed Republicans who
would support satan If on his ticket, and
especially when ne knows Mr.. Cole or no
other candidate could come out on an anti
motor platform and stand a ghost of a
show.
So
Ii is very cold weather for Republican
candidates for mayor. The idea is becom-
ing ingrOund and ingrained that the unfor-
tunate upon whom shall alight the lightning
of the Republican nomination is going TO
stay at home. This is bad year for Re-
publican mayor and Hon. George A. Pills
bury will. for some years, bear the title of
Last Republican Mayor of Minneapolis"
Nobody wants the nomination. Nobody
could be induced under any circumstances
to take it.; that is, nobody but Calvin w.
Clark, and he could never be elected.
These thoughts have impressed everybody
to whom they have come.
-
The latest decliner is J. ii. Thompson.
He has lust returned from the sunny land
of Florida and finds it cold day in Mime
apOlis, especially for Republican nomina-
tons. He won't have any in his and will
not take the choice for mayor. though ten
dered him i'm medallion. set about with dia-
monds. lie said yesterday: mo, no,
could not and would not accept the candi.
dacy for mayor under any circumstances.
1 would not take the Office now if
could get IL without an election. My bust
ness occupies every moment of my time,
and it's with the utmost difficulty that l can
get away even for a vacation. l thank my
friends, but they must not consider me in
the race"
The scene changes when the Democratic
field comes under observation. Everybody
is imbued with the idea that Democratic
mayor will hold down the seat this year,
and there is n natural desire 10 be the ma n.
There is no promiscuOus Scutfiing for the
place, for one of only two men will get
there. DIR. Ames and Henry Morse. No
body else need apply at this juncture. The
two gentlemen named are making lively
tussle for the nomination. with the assuT-
ance that the winner will be the next
mayor.
