Quite a serious dispute arose yesterday
between couple of gentlemen from West
st. Paul. One of the gentlemen declared
that the grass was coming up quite rapidly
IN the Sixth ward and so were all kinds of
vegeta ton. To show how fast the grass
had made its appearance he offered to bet
$40 that there were more blades of grass
now to be seen in West ST. Paul than
there were aldermanic candidates. The
other gentleman would not bet but he be-
came quite angry, regarding the remark of
the other gentleman as very offensive for
the reason that it contained an intmation
That the candidates were not doing their
duty In declaring themselves. He knew
this was not so, and said THAT the alder
manic candidates were just as patriotic in
the Sixth ward as they were in any part of
the city. and just as self-sacrifcing as any
gentleman, he didn't care where they
came FROM"

produced by the same cause in any other
field that he may have been engaged. Mr..
MANNING is man who is not satisfied
unless he is at work. and so far as his
health is concerned IL is better FOR him to
be at work than at play. A man with his
indomitable energy Will rust out quicker
than he will wear out. Now that he has
had season of rest and quiet, and his
nervous system has been recuperated, he
will return to his work with more diligence
than ever before. and the business of the
country will show a correspondingly pros
porous condition.

STREETS NOT STRAIGHT.
subject of YesterdaY's Session of the
Chamber of Commerce.

AT the meeting of the board of directors
of the chamber of commerce yesterday
morning the resignation of f. G. Draper
was read and referred to the committee on
nominations. The resolution adopted at
the last meeting of the board in regard to
the paving of streets was reconsidered and
the matter was referred back to the COM
mttee, with instructions to report next
Monday. The committee on streets, roads
and parks made partial report in regard
to the sewerage at the Transfer and prom
ised to give full report later. Capt.
Berkey complained that the city authorities
were not particular enough in per-
hitting additions to be made to
the city, and insisted that they
should be more particular about the streets
conforming. He said that in many in
stances the streets of the additions do not
conform at all. The ordinance was all
right, but the authorities are too careless
about the matter. Mr.. Fairchild MAIN
tanned that the streets of the new additions,
that Is, those that have been made to the
city since the ordinance was adopted, con-
form, except in one or two instances where
the topography of the ground would not
permit conformity. Capt. BIakely main
tanned that there was cause for complaint
in this respect. The matter was referred
to the committee on streets. roads and
parks and city engineer to report plan.

ball grounds had not yet been secured. He
is considering two locations; one on the
West side and the other on West Seventh

vicinity of the old ball grounds. The latter
location is favored and it is probable that it
will be the location settled upon. Prof.
Barnes has begun to sign his players and
yesterday sent contract to Jack Dwyer.
Lisbon, Ill. Dwyer, who will probably
play in the field. is an old and well-knOwn
player, having played in the Eastern leagues

The Tran.continentaI War Ended.

NEW YORK, April 5.-'The rates will
not be extended beyond tomorrow" was
said at the transcontinental offices to-day,
but notice of an official kind has not yet
been received declaring the war over. In
railway circles it is generally believed, how
ever, that the war is ended and the rumOr
is in circulation that the delay in annOunc-
ing that fact is occasioned by trouble ex-
perienced by the AtchisOn and the ''Sunset"
in securing controlling interest in Pacific
Mail. 1t is said that one of the points
settled at the meeting in Mr.. Huntington's
house last week was that the
AtchisOn and 'Sunset" should generally
buy Pacific Mail stock and get con-
troll of the steamship company in order
to settle the question of the subsidy to the
Pacific Mail. 1t is stated that j. w. Selig-
man IL Co., representatives of the Atchi-
son. and c. p. Huntington have been buy
ing Pacific Mail on the market for some
time. 1t is also rumored that meeting
took place at the Hoffman house on Sun
day; that G. p. Huntington. Sidney Dillon
and Russell Sage were present. and that
the meeting was had with reference to the
Pacific Mail plan just mentioned. 1t was
said this afternoon that the official an
n0uncement of peace would not now be
long delayed, because enough Pacific Mail
stock had been secured 10 insure the Gen.
trail, and that after tomorrow the line
would be under the direction of the two
