brief report, in which he stated that he had
not time to go around to all the school
buildings yesterday, that being the first day
of the fall term of the schools, but from the
schools he saw, and the information he
obtained from the principles, he was salts
fed that the attendance this year would be
from 10 to IS per cent. larger than at the
beginning of the term last year. He also
made several suggestions in regard to the
arrangements that could be made to
provide for the additional pupils.
Rooms in Merriam Park and in
the Baker school are to be added immedi-
ately. Miss Putnam and Miss Shaw were
transferred from the Hendricks to the Gar
field school, and Mrs. Ii. Dorm from the
Garfield to the Hendricks school. The sum
of $3.50 was appropriated to purchase a
skeleton, microscopes. tables, sinks, ETC..
for the high school. An effort to fix the
salary for music teacher for the public
schools at 81, 500 was lost and later i'll the
meeting another proposition was made
which was to Tx the salary at $1,000, and
the same was adopted. A proposition was
made to insure the Hendricks school build
ing for 81, 500. Several members expressed
the opinion that SIC, 900 would be large
enough. Finally the whole matter was re-
ferred to the committee on schools, with
power to act. j. G. DOnnelly was elected
principal of German school.

TRANSPORTATION TOPICS.
The western Freight Pool.

CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-The Western freight
committee was again in session to-day, but
made no further progress. Two reports
will be submitted, the majority recommend
ing the formation of series of sub-pools
on the gross revenue plan, based largely on
the old pool, but without any reference to
the disputed questions which rendered the
old agreement imperative. The North
western takes ssue.On the question of the
division of the range cattle traffic, claiming
that its extensions into Wyoming give it a
greater standing than in the past. The
Missouri Pacific and the Wabash lines
were not represented, and the latter will
put stumbling block in the way of the
new pool by insisting that the old one is
still in force and asking for the money due
it under the old balances. The whole mat
ter is referred to the general managers, who
meet Tomorrow TO consider the work of
the several committees and evolve money
pools to cover the territory from st. Louis
to st. Paul, and Chicago to the Missouri

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.
Ht is Generally of a Satisfactory
Natures-HeaVy Fall Buying.

Nature..HeaVy FAN Buying.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-New York mer-
chants, jobbers and commission merchants
are generally satisfied with the condition of
trade. Business is picking up and shows
in most cases improvements. Buyers for
the fall trade have been and continue
numerous and in many kinds of business
very late hours have been kept by employees
to put up and forward the goods ordered.
The long arrays of boxes and cases piled up
in front of business houses down town and
awaiting their turn to be carted off give
strong ocular demonstration of busy
season. Inquiries among merchants cor
roborate the testimony of these mute wit
neSSeS. A noted feature is in the increase
of orders from the South and South
west They are ordering from there not
only large quantities of goods, but they are
also demanding the finer grades. Dry goods
men say that the outlook for fall trade with
them is unusually bright. In the way of
wholesale transactions the week just closed
has been the largest of the season. Mer-
chants from the West and South have
nearly finished their fall buying. Only a
few of them were left in the city yesterday.
Their places are being taken by merchants
from less remote sections OF the country.
The states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota are
largely represented by the merchants now
in the markets. Almost without exception
the merchants are buying freely on account
of the better outlook in their business and
frmer prices of goods. Prices for general
dry goods are sufficiently firm to inspire
confidence. Wholesale clothing houses re-
port business better than for several years
past. The most notable increase in demand
is from the South. Merchants estimate
this increase at fully 3315 per cent The
demand for clothing in the Western
states is also reported good. Boot
and shoe houses say: Taking it all around
there is more doing at this season than at
any previous time for five years, The
wholesale hide and Leather trade reports
business brisk at about old prices. Deal
ers liz fbe glassware and crockery trade
| feel very comfortable over the outlook for
the fall and winter There has been no ex-
traordinary demand for goods from any
section, but the tendency all over is toward
better buying and increased consumption.
In the iron trade the one report is that
business is Aourishing. Manufacturers are
busy, there is brisk demand and good
prices prevail. There is no indication OF a
big boom, but big BOOM" said leading
iron man yesterday. isn't wanted. When
trade is good, we can keep our mills
steadily employed up to their limit then
we are content. That is the case now.
We have business that is remunerative;
business that we believe has come to stay.
1t doesn't partake of the boom character,
but rather is quiet and Oh solvent basis.

only clear lines in the note, all else being
blotchy, blurred and soiled. The treasury

same on all. Although its defective work

not be ignored, for, already. several per-
sons have been victimized by its accept

a long letter was received from Aid.
Starkey calling the attention of the board
to its neglect of duty in not opening and ex-
tending and grading Wells, Cypress, Case,
Reaney, Earl and Newcomb streets and
Prosperity and Cypress avenues. The
letter says that all of the improvements
mentioned were ordered by the council, and
that the holding back of final orders in
these cases has caused loss to property
owners The communication was read and
filed and will be considered by the board at
an early date. The members of the board
explained that the delay in the particular
work mentioned was for the reason that
their entire attention has been occupied in
other work which demanded their immedi-
ate action. While a large amount Of work
had been neglected in which Aid. StarkeJ
was interested, his case was in no way
different from that of any other alderman.

HIS HAIR WAS CUT,
And the Indian Hid Himself in His
Tepee and Was Ashamed,


People in the custom house and that
neighberhOod are familiar with the appear
ance of Indians who come there as wit
neSses in a good many cases. Sometimes
the officers have difficulty in getting them
to come to ST. Paul as witnesses, and Gus
Beaulieu tells the reason why. Last year
he brought down Mile Lac Indian as a
witness. While in the city the Indian got
roaring drunk, was arrested, and the mu-
Iiicipal judge sentenced him to five DAYS in
the w0rkhOuse. He wore his hair long,
and of course it was cut off while in the
WOrkhOuSe. He felt this as a disgrace,
while the confinement had no eff
feet on him whatever. When he
returned home he was SO ashamed of him.
self that for week he did not leave his
tepee. After that the Indians for long
time, would not come to st. Paul for fear
their hair would be cut off. MI. Beaulieu
had to do considerable promising that their
hair would be safe, and finally got them
started again. But few months ago an
other lOng-haired Indian was arrested and
sent to the workhouse. He was wanted as
a witness, and on this plea the Judge re-
mitted the sentence. the Indian meantime
having gone to the workhouse. The United
States officers hurried after him, and ar
rived just as his hair was being unbraided
ready to be cut off. He was saved by a
scratch, and it was as important to the
Indian as if he had nearly lost his scalplock
and just squeezed out with it on A sharp
watch is always kept over these Indians
now for fear they will get their hair cut.
which would make them give st. Paul a
wide berth unless brought down by force.

Gloomy Accounts of His Condition
---.e Keeps Cheerful.
BosTON, Sept. 6.-An old friend Of eX-
President Arthur. who has just returned
from visit to the distinguished invalid at
New London, Conn.,, gives a gloomy view
of Mr. Arthurs condition. He says the
expire, ident maintains at all times forced
cheerfulness, and still manifests the livliest
interest in the current events and leading
political questions of the day. discussing
men and measures with all his old-time
keenness; yet he soon tires, his breathing
becomes shorter and an enforced rest en-
sues. He has lost flesh until he is the
mere shadow of his former self. The TO
bust physique and ford countenance are
gone. He feels the change bitterly and ex-
pressions of sympathy are very cheering to
him, and these are constantly pouring in
from all sections of the country. Mr..
Arthur reads the newspapers with the
greatest avidity, and any paragraph OF a
foreboding kind about himself makes him
depressed and anxious. His attendants
exercise continued care, reading the contents
of papers taken to him. There is little
doubt that his illness is confirmed attack
OF a dreadful malady, and that the newt
able result is only question of time.

Robbed i'm "a Tunnel.

While passing through the Fourth street
tunnel last evening at 10 o'clock, Patrick
O'Grady, night Waterman in the Duluth
yard, was attacked by four men. Two
of the gang held him while the
others went through his pockets. One of
the quartette took his watch and chain; but
at this moment James Cuddahy, a brake
man, put in an appearance and smashed
Mike O'Brien, one of the highwaymen,
over the head with lantern. O'Brien
was captured after hard tussle
and turned over to the police. OGrady's
watch was found in his possession. The
three others escaped. but as they are well
known to the police their arrest is only a
question of few hours.

Many Matters That Were Discussed
and Acted or Yesterday.

At the meeting of the board of directors
of the chamber of commerce, yesterday
morning, a communication from Gen. G. b.
Comstock, making some inquiries regard
ing the Michigan canal and the Hennepin
canal, was referred to the Mississippi
River committee. The resolution in favor
of opening the Indian reservation, near the
Black Hills was considered. Gen. Bishop
explained the nature and extent of the
reservation, and pointed out how the reser-
Walton as such INSTRUCTED rail cOmmunica-
ton and prevented building railroads from
st. Paul to the Black Hills. The resOlu-
ton was adopted. DR.. Days resolution in
favor of the state boring wells to see if nat
ural gas can be found in this state, was
adopted. The committee on legislation was
directed to consider what legislation is re-
quired for st. Paul. Gen. Sibley made his
appearance in the chamber for the first time
in many weeks, and called the attention of
the members to the necessity of making a
contribution for the assistance OF Charleston,

committee: Sibley. Kelly, AVerill. Open
heimer and Cochran.
