In the Hands of "His Friends.-

Mayor AmeS is enjoying the dubious
pleasures which belong to official life. He
IS no longer great medicine man." with
The sick to heal, but is mayor of great
city, with hundred offices to dispense.
Five hundred patriots are willing to sacri-
fee themselves and hold down these offices,
regardless of pressing personal business
elsewhere. A thought of appealing to the
governor to order Company to protect
him, flashed across Mayor Ames' mind
yesterday, but was reluctantly dismissed.
His Office on Second avenue and his office
at the city hall were beseiged all day yes
terday, until he hurried off on his humane
mission to st. Cloud and Sank Center to
care for the victims of the cyclone, leaving
4S1 would-be policemen to go to bed and
prepare to be on the spot at o'clock this
morning. These are the pleasures of Off
cial life but they will soon be ended. The
lucky names will be announced very
soon and the tide will turn. The
mayor will get a rest-at least men will no
longer stand around him when he hurriedly
eats lunch at restaurant, crowd barber
shop while he is shaved or follow him home
on the motor atnight. He has imperturba-
bic good humor and invariable politeness,
so the applicant is pleased. though ignorant
of his fate. Petitions have been raining in
at the rate of fifty a day, averaging fifty
signers, but many of them will never see
the light again.
The only Office to be filled by the mayor
at this time, outside of the police force, is
that of membership in the water commits
sion, and the selection is not yet made. 1t
will be duly announced to the next meeting
of the council.

Annual Election of OfficerS--CIos-
ing the Session.
The session of the Grand Lodge of the
Knights of Honor was resumed yesterday
morning when the reports of various COM
mittees were received, and other matters of
interest disposed of. 1t was decided to

In the afternoon the election of officers was
held, resulting as follows:

E. c. CauYet, Minneapolis; James Morrison,
Mankato.
Grand Medical Examiner-Dr. E. w. Cross,
Rochester.
The order Of Knights of Honor was founded
in 1873. The last report OF the Supreme Lodge
shows that on Dec. 81, 1884, there were 3,l59
lodges and 10000 members in the United
States. The membership is now close TO $780,
600. Up to the date named there had been
$2,775, 600 paid in benefits. In Minnesota there
are sixteen lodges aud about 600 members.

CURRENT ENT.

The moment two sporting men in the
same line reach Minneapolis then begins
the war of words. They challenge each
other, meet, contest and squabble-on pa
per. People read, morning after morning,
of their dOingS and become perfectly well
acquainted with them, then bored and then
disguised. Finally the match takes place
and occupies in the papers One-fifth of the
space used for the pickering and challeng-
ing. The winner stays to locate here and
the loser goes on. The winner enters the
saloon business and then quits it and seeks
fresh fields. This is sporting.

POLICE APPOINTMENTS.
No Collision Between the Mayor and
the Council Likely TO Occur.

No Collision Between the Mayor and
the Council Likely TO Occur.
There is no particular significance in the
action of the city council in referring the
police appointments made by Mayor Ames.
Something like year and half ago, Aid.
Cooley, chairman Of the committee on po-
ice, made the request of the council that
no appointments be made until the names
of the appointees had been referred to the
committee for consideration. Since then
this request has been invariably respected,
but no appointment made by the mayor has
failed to receive confirmation, and there
seems no probability of ''kick" at this
time. Judging from the spirit of the Re-
publican aldermen, as voiced in their re-
marks on the streets, there is no inclination
to come into collision with the executive
of the administration. The city charter
places in the hands of the
chief executive the entire and
absolute control of the police department
In him is vested the appointive power, and
in him is also vested the entire RESPONSE
bility of the department-deportm and
efficiency. Manifestly. then, he should be
accorded, without contention or lnJerrup-
ton, the right to say who shall be associa-
ted with him in preserving the peace and
dignity of the city. He has sgnified his
choice. and in all courtesy to the mayor
that choice should be confirmed and without
delay, because it is necessary to organize
the police force on metropolitan principle
at once if at all. No slip shod or haphazard
management of the department will be toll
Grated by Mayor Ames, whose ideas of such
matters are eXemplifed in strict discipline
THE CHARTER PROVISION.
Certain of the aldermen, it is true, went
SO far as to question the mayors authority
to designate the ranks of colonel, lieuten-
ant colonel, major and adjutant, claiming
that no provision had been made for the
same in the ordinance governing the de-
partment For the edification of skeptics,
the following extract is taken from the city
charter:
The mayor shall in his appointments desig-
nate any officer to be chief of police and such
other officers for the performance of special
duties, and with such control over other Off
GERS and watchmeu as may be deemed neces-
sary, and may designate the rank of such
police officer by such proper title as he shall
select. The mayor shall, with the consent
and approval of the city council, from time
&c time make such regulations for the control
of the police force and the powers and the
duties of the several officers thereof as he
may deem necessary, and in like manner alter
the same Such regulations may designate
uniform, badges, arms, discipline, drill and
exercise.
This practically does away with the
fallacy into which perhaps some over-zeal-
Gus partisans may have Inadvertently fallen.
However, no trouble is apprehended. AT
the meeting of the council tomorrow night
the new police committee will be appointed,
and in all probability the appointments will
then be recommended by the committee and
confirmed by the entire board of aldermen
without a dissenting voice.

THE SPORTING GLOBE.
Prince Wins the Holly Contested
Bicycle Race.
A Race Between Shock and Prince for
1000 Side.
Bicycle Race.

The twenty-ive-mile race at the Wash
ington rink between Prince and WoOdside
failed to draw out even an ordinary-sized
audience. The bad weather, together with
the sad news from St. Cloud, conspired
to this end. However, it was a
holly contested and very interesting race.
1t was won by Prince in hour, 10 minutes
and 56% seconds, which is remarkable
time considering the obstacles the bicyclists
had to contend with. For instance
the electric current occasionally
struck the electric light wire,
nearly eXtinguishing every light
in the rink. Indeed Just after completing
the nineteenth mile they went out entirely,
and until the oil lamps could be provided
on the raised ends the riders were obliged
TO practically depend upon the lightning to
illuminate their dangerous path. Lamps
were drought out, but even then the
rider could not be seen across the rink
from one side to the other. OF course, dur
ing the dark minis the cyclists were obliged
to ride very slow, and keep several lengths
apart The occasion Of eXtinguishing the
light was the burning out of the
wires. They were replaced, however, and
the struggle went merrilY on to the finish,
which was particularly exciting. Prince
led at the start for three miles. when
Woodside passed him to the front
and held it up to eight
miles. Here Prince went ahead
On the 18th mile Woody called pole again
and went ahead. The 9Th mile found
Prince in the lead. which he kept
until the 22d mile. Woody then
got in the lead, but was passed on
the last mile, when Prince opened
upa discOuraging gap and won, The score
by every five miles is: WOOdside, five
miles. 11:4S1z; Prince, ten miles, 31:4515;
WOOdside, fifteen miles, 47:1s1S; Prince,

sCHOCK AND PRINCE.
They will Engage i'm a Six-Days,
Race for 81 900 n side

Albert Schock, the champion long dis
lance bieyelst of America, and John S.
Prince, the champion speed bicyclist, are
TO engage in match six-days' race for
$1,000 side. This result came about by
Princes challenge published in the GLOBE
yesterday. Schock and Eek, the latter
representing Prince, met at the Nicollet
house yesterday afternoon and talked the
matter over. SchOck would consent to no
less purse than $1,000 side. and Prince
finally consented to the terms. Schock at
once posted forfeiture of $500 with j. z.
Ward of the GLOBE, who is to be final
stakeholder. This stake will be the largest,
it is said, ever raced for, and must neces-
Sariy create widespread interest. Par
ties from the distance are expected to wit
ness the wonderful contest. The event
will occur in the Washington rink, Mime
apOlis, about the LIST of May. Meanwhile
each will go into vigorous training for the
ordeal. There is no doubt that all records
will be broken.

A Raise i'm Rates.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Atchison, To

reason for it being given out as the impos-

will now be as follows: First-class $50.
with SIS rebate or net SIS. Missouri river
to California common points; second and
third-classes $50. with SO rebate; round
