New York's Commissioner of Public
Works.

New YORK, March 4th.-There are we'll
defined rumors to the effect that Rolln NJ.
Squire, the present Commissioner of Pub
lie Works, will shortly be looking for an
other position. The World says: Mayor
Grace has been looking up the law and has
found a statute under which he can, if he
prefers charges, suspend the Commissioner
of Public Works and apply to the Gov
ernor for his removal. Taking advantage
of this. he has decided to act to-day, and
the office. The ground on which the Mavor
will bring charges against Squire is for
neglect in the discharge of his duties and
for having filled the position of Deputy

years ago in Boston was convicted OF en-
bezzlement

that the latter will win. Both plans are
for building with central light wall and
with the most complete arrangements for
lighting through the main walks. The
main entrance IS upon the HenneDin avenue
front. and the floors, in order, are
arranged for the lecture room, the reading
room, the Society of Sciences, and the Fine

Warren plan, has accommodations for
37S, 600 volumes, and small addition on
the inside of the building. which will not

MULES FOR MOTORS.
Until Better is Devised, Long cared
Motors will Pail Cars.

President S. S. Small and General Freight
Agent f. c. Pillsbury yesterday returned
from Chicago. where they had been in the
interest Of the motor line. Several new
motors were thoroughly inspected and their
trip was altogether satisfactory. but details
could not be screwed out of them.
what will you do about the halt at Sixth
street, was asked President Small.
AT the very time that Gen. Washburn was
engaged i'm ordering the motor off below
Sixth street, because, as he said, we were not
doing all that we could to supply the place of
steam by some less Objectionable power, f.
c. Pillsbury and myself were in Chicago in
vestigating a new motor to take the place of
the present one during the time while we are
waiting for the larger electric motor to be
built. Does that look like bad faith? And 1
think we have found what we want / shall
know by Monday evening. In the meantime
we shall stop the motor at Sixth street on
Monday morning and haul the cars from there
TO union depot and back by mules until we
get another motor. We've got the mules
too. We shall give the very best service we
know how, and don't forget it,
Just then he glanced at the $50 train,
where three cars were crammed to their ut
most capacity. \ smile spread over his face
and he said:
Looks like people didn't want the motor
dor it?''

o. G. Merriman found him a scaler at the
Pacific mills, where he had been
several years and placed him on the police
force as patrolman. This was some eleven
years ago. When Mayor Ames was elected
it was evident that Officer West could not
withstand the hardships of a patrolman's
beat, and he was placed in the municipal
court as sergeant with short hours and
light duties Upon the completion of the
Third precinct station his rank was adj
vanced to that of lieutenant and he was
placed in charge. which Office he held until
death. He was born in Norway, but has
lived here some twenty years.
Lieut. West was a member of the order
of Knights of Pythias and also Knight
Templar, but the obsequies will be pri-
vately conducted, that being one of his last
requests. He leaves a family in moderate
or limited circumstances.

PILLsBURYTHE CANDIDATE.


If there is any one thing more evident
than that Mayor PILLsBURY is heartily
sick of his present official position and
really desires the coming RELOCATION to the
ease and comfort of private life, it is that
his party will make a desperate effort to
force upon him the disagreeable task of
facing a losing fight. That it will succeed,
there is no adequate reason to doubt. 1t has
come to the Republican mind with all the
force Of conviction that GEORGE A. PILLS
BURY is the only candidate they can hope to
carry to victory. The most sanguine of the
party Of high moral pecksniffs are reduced
to the extremity of believing that one man
alone stands between them and defeat and
Generalization. This concession will carry
cheer TO and stimulate the courage CT Jhe
masses of Democracy, for it is an admission
that the tide sets high in their favor ana
that the leaders OF the opposition are hight
ing for fOriOrI hope with all
the energy Of desperation. Since the
election OF two years ago, great and gen
eral reyulsion Of feeling has set III. ana the
peoDIe-Dot a few leaders-will speak in
April in tones which cannot be misunder-
stood.
GEORGE A, PILLsBURY will be the Re-
publican candidate. However sincere he
NAV be in the oft-repeated destinations he
has sent out. he viii not be able to with
stand the pressure which will be brought to
bear upon him. His party, in one Of those
secret cOnclayes for which it is noted, has
decided he must stand. and stand he will.
1t must be apparent to him that his barrel
is the real candidate in view. that those who
are now shrieking for him to ''heed the
call Of duty regard him merely as an affable
and generous distributor of Doodle; and that
Doodle talks. But even this knowledge will
not prevent his candidacy. The handful of
rich men who control Republican politics of
Minneapolis, and whose brand is carried
about by the unwilling voter, have
met in some richy-fUnished private
Office ard resolved that GEORGE A.
PILLsBURY must be our candidate.
and they know that now, as ever. their de-
cison must govern. In their choice OF
candidate and their plans of the campaign
the Democrats may take it for granted they
will have the PILLsBURY purse to fight and
act accordingly. They will have to meet
just SUCH Il CdHIDdlSH do was h"u5"O w"
years ago, but the result will not be the
same. The conditions are changed and the
chances of war rest largely with the repre-
sentatives of liberal, honest and broad
gauge administration of the municipal gov
eminent. Any of the prominent Democrats
now before the people will carry the party
banner to victory. The people want
change and will see that their ballots accom-
plish it.

Eusiis Expresses His Opinion.

W. III. Eustis was met by GLOBE re-
porter last night and asked for an opinion
regarding Samuel Hills free expression
upon the proposed caucus system.
MIR. Hill is in error" he replied with a
characteristic gesture. The system can
be amended at any time by any convention
upon twO-thirdS vote, and il can be so
materially amended that there would re-
main no vestige of the original plan. We
propose tn give everybody chance TO vote
for the nomination OF a candidate by hold
ing the caucus polls open from $3.50 o'clock
until a satisfactory hour at night. This
will give everybody an equal right. Mr.
Hill is wrong in intimating that there is
anything arbitrary in our plans. 1t is not
autOcratical," so saying Mr.. Eustis hurried
of to prepare for the meeting of the league.

Hard Luck Attending the Players
at Pence Opera HOuse.

The latest effort to rejuvenate. or rather
resurrect Pence opera house as a resort for
Minneapolis amusement-seekeTs is pro-
nouneed unavailing. Four weeks ago
II. A. Lillager. owner of the Spring
Park club house at Lake Minnetonka re-
opened the place with the Andrews Opera
company, so-called. 1t played to fair bust
ness and by dint of ''papering' and big
advertising created a boom which was inn
egined to be permanent. but which, alas.
proved fictitious. Feb. 10 Mr.. Lillager os-
tensibly sold out to a Danish lawyer. whose
name is said to be Cuyer, and
who cheerily assumed all liabilities, The
principles and chorus were assured last
evening that all bills would be paid to date
and the house would be closed for one week
only. At the conclusion of the performance
noticeable absence of Mr.. Cuyer was OBJ
served and a search revealed the fact that
the melancholy Dane was missing. Marie
Rae, the leading lady, claims about 5000
due her, and other claims are propOrtiOnate.

THE ludicrous and tumultuOus scenes en-
acted mt the Republican Window hall confer
ence last night have seldom been paralleled
while they lasted at any convention ever held
in Minnesota. They were such scenes as
might naturally be the outcome of an attempt
on the part of a few men to arrogate to them
selves the authority to dictate to the party
of a county. The conference was piano.
rama of disorder and verged upon
pandcmonium, and, as might have been
expected, was without result, if we except
the emphatic reiteration of Mayor PILLS
BURY's determination to retire from politics.
The scenes fifty illustrated the condition of the
Republican party of Minneapolis, and cannot
be without their eject upon the opening
campaign. The soaring eloquence, the fren-
Zied appeals, the outbursts of passion and
the wild flashes of Indignation will meet their
echoes later ON in the canvass. Half of the
plan has been passed upon, but 1.-The worst re-
mains behind" Next Saturday night the
trouble will be resumed, and the uproarious
farce be carried through the second act.

SAM HILL is a young gentleman credited

machine politics and will disrupt the Repub-
