THEY MADE BRIEF CALLS.
Prominent Men Seen at the st. Paul
Hotels.

The Hon. Mart Chandler of Red Wing was
about the hotels yesterday. He at present
occupies the position of surveyor general and
has been prominently mentioned as a Repub-
Hcan candidate for congress in the Third dis
trict. Referring to his reported candidacy he
said that he had not announced himself in the
race and had not SO decided, although if the
nomination was rendered him he should not
decline the honor. He intimated that but for
the severe illness of his wife, which kept him
at home, he should have been in the race. Not
being able to leave home and stump the dis
tr1ct, he was not as yet candidate.
IN
The candidates already in the field included
Herbert Of Red Wing, Reed of Glencoe. Lib
erty Hall and ex-Marshal Denny of Carver
county, with others to hear FROM He said
that he understood the tactics of Mai Strait
the present congressman, and concluded from
the latter'S withdrawal from the field that he
was anxious to have deadlock among the
other candidates, so that it would result in
his (Strait) denomination as the only avail
able man on whom the different factions
could unite. In other words, he thought
that Maj. Strait withdrew for the purpose of
securing denomination.
-
Capt. Frank Glover, an officer in the Cana
dian volunteers, passed through the city. He
was engaged in the late Rel rebellion and
was IN the party who captured the chief,
OF the finest physical specimens of mani ood
that he had ever seen.
He said that there was no prospect for an
uprising among the Indians or half-breeds in
the Northwest territory, as the lesson taught
a year ago would not be soon forgotten, and
the desire for another rebellion disappeared
when thoughts of the unsuccessful ending of
the last were INDUCED in.
He was on his way to the extreme North
west, being on a little pleasure trip with a
desire to explore the western part of the
English possessions.

Hon. Loren Fletcher of Minneapolis, who
mas desired seat in congress or some other
official place ever since he left his high CHAIR
moved about the capital city hotels. He was
talking with local Republicans who chanced
TO come IN his neighborhood, and was looking
over the ground preparatory to making his
regular biennial fight for congress.

Senator A. E. Rice of Wilmar was tran
sient He is not an out-and-out candidate
for heutenan t-governor, in fact, says he is
not candidate for any Office; but his fellow
Scandinavians are pushing him to the front,
and, as in years past, he may feel obliged to
make the contest. Senator Rice said that
wheat in the vicinity of Wilmar was suffer-
ing from lack of ram.

Thomas Van Etten of Sauk Rapids was at
the Ryan last night Mr.. Van Etten will be
remembered as the man who was picked up
in the arms of the cyclone, carried several
hundred feet and deposited in
pools of muddy water. He has
recovered from his injuries but says
that he is not anxious to make the acauaint-
ance of another tornado so full of ambition as
was the one that he met before. He reports
that the town is rapidly rebuilding, and sIO,-
600 has been voted to rebuild the district
school, which was demolished. The county
commissioners have decided to let contract
for rebuilding the court house on the old
site. AS yet nothing has been done
towards repairing the bridge, part of which
was wrecked, but some action will be taken
in this direction soon, as the need of the
bridge is sorely felt by the town, which has
no communication with St. Cloud except by
the way OF the East side bridge. Nothing has
been done toward rebuilding Stanton's -four
ing mill, and it is not known whether it will
be re-erected or not.
