A Sparring Exhibition TO be Given
Next Saturday Night.

Sparrtng Exhibition TO De Given
Next Saturday Night.
Tom jefferson. who is one Of st. Paufs
most ardent admirers of sports and whose
taste runs especially to fistic exhibitions.
has arranged for a sparring tournament to
be given in the exposition rink on next
Saturday evening, April 10. Tom says
that he has got good men in his ''show.' y
and he don't propose that the affair shall be
a hippodrome if he can help it.
The opening feature will be four-round
set-to between Billy Wilson and Charles
HadleY. Ii has been many months since
Billy has put up the gloves before an audi
ence, and he has been in constant training
for the past two months and is general
favorite with the ST. Paul sporting frater-
nifty. he will undoubtedly prove drawing
card of no mean influence. There will be a
six-round set-to between James Logger.
known as the BLACK Star" and Frank
Taylor of Mexico. very clever boxer, for a
silver cup. Andy Goldsmith will spar
five rounds with an unknown for medal.
The principal feature of the exhibition will
be a six-round ''go'' with eight-Ounce
gloves between Pat Manning of Brooklyn
and Prof. John Donaldson OF Min neapolis.
1t is expected that this will be lively af-
fair as Manning has won reputation in
the East for his cleverness and striking
power. and Donaldson's generalshiD in the
ring and scientific manipulation OF the
gloves has been often demonstrated to the
people OF the Northwest. The rink has
been engaged for the event.

Distress Mt Kew West.

KEY WEST. Fla, April AT a meeting
Of merchants held here the following appeal
was issued:
To the citizens OF the United States: A
large portion of onr city having been swept
away by the Games, our industrial occuJ o.
tons entirely ruined. aud thousands OF our
people left I'm utter destitution and distress,
we find ourselves compelled to appeal TO the
benevolence of our countrymen aud request
that the leading papers receive subscriptions
in our behalf and forward the same
to NJ. L. Helliugs, Esq, our treasurer.
Through Ramen Rives, the secretary of
cigarmakers' union of Key West, the chair
man of the relief committee has received
$3.50, the union having already distributed
5000 among its distressed members. The
mail steamer Lizzie Henderson brought
about 81, 600 worth of clothing, which had
been donated by the citizens of Tampa,
and twenty barrels of provisions have been
sent from the United States frigate Pow
haitian. The passengers and crew of the
Morgan steamer Whitney, which arrived
to-day from New Orleans, subscribed SIS.
Indications of rebuilding appear In various
portions of the burnt district. The wharves
will probably be first completed. as without
them the commerce Of the city cannot be
handled. nor even necessary supplies be
landed.

a single congressional day show that con-

own internal disturbances to be wasting

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

Among the many good things said by
Mr.. SMALLEY in his address to the Mime
apols Press club yesterday, there was none
truer than the statement that the country
editor was not sufficiently appreciated.
The Importance of the country editor has
never been fully recognized. The tendency
has always been to under-size him, and
more particularly is it apt TO be done by
his brethren of the metropolitan press,
when in fact his position is the
only one of true independence in
Journalism, although the work of
the country newspaper is more limited
than of the metropolitan press. Still the
editor has the advantage of impressing his
exclusive individuality upon it while metro
politan journalism is of necessity the aggre-
gate work of many. If the country editor
is a man with force of character he natur-
ally becomes leader of the community In
which he labors. He moulds public senti-
ment and dictates public policy. lie is in
reality the country's lawgiver. While his
accumulations may never grow into vast
wealth, still his position assures him CON-
potency and an independence which is of
more value than riches.

ENCOURAGE SPORTS.
Let More Attention be Paid 10 the
More Refined Class of sports.

The attendance at the skating contest
last week, proved that the interest in roller
skating that shook the community to its
foundation two years ago is dying out and
that this sort of amusement has lost its
hold on the public. Two years ago a con-
test of this kind would have filled the Ex-
position rink nightly and would have
robbed the opera of large number Of its
most fashionable patrons. The venture on
the part of Wallace d Eek. the managers
of the race, was financially an unsuccessful
one, but In point of merit the event was
deserving. All the contestants, with the
exception of Cole were professionals,
backed by records that proved them to be
men of wonderful speed and power Of en-
durance on the skates and there was no
hippOdroming. If there had been it is
probable that the rub ic would have focked

A QUEER BODY,

There is a great deal of complaint
throughout the country that congress is
devoting so little attention to the public
business. Those who are grumblng are
unmindful of the fact that this is peculiar
congress. and not very well adapted to
he performance of duties of a public
nature. An ANALYSIS of the constitution of
the two houses will soon demonstrate the
reason why it is not business body.
To commence with the senate, we
find in that body lot of presidential
cranks. We admit that it is not dgnified
to speak of senator as crank, neverthe-
less it is lamentably true that whenever a
public man gets the presidential bee to buzz
zing in his bonnet he invariably gets cranky.
Therefore, the senators who. from their age
and experience, are expected TO be leaders
in all movements pertaining to the public
welfare are absolutely disqualified by their
crankiness. Mr.. EDMUNDs is a sad illus
tration of this truth.
In the next place spirit of romance has
stolen over the senate, and the senators
who ought TO be in their places helping to
frame legislation to relieve the country of
the dangers which threaten. are off love-
making. For example, there is Senator
JONES, who has been absent from his desk
for nearly three months trying TO make love
to Michigan girl, who had the good sense
to throw cold water on his suit and then leave
home to get rid of his opportunities. And
now the story comes that Senator FAIR also
has a singular experience in counting
When FAIR got rich out in the Nevada
mines it is said that he became ashamed of
his plain little wife and was divorced from
her. Now it is said that having drained
the cup of all that wealth and political
honors can bring he finds vacant place in
his heart VIII CHI none but his former wife
can fill, and he is counting her again.
And then again the members of congress.
in both houses are so engaged in instructlnl
each other in legislative amenities they
can't find time to devote to commonplace,
affairs like the tariff, the labor troubles. th,
currency and other matters affecting the
public interests. 1t Is due to them, how
ever, to say that they succeed in givin.
some notable lessons OH this subject. Al
an illustration of their success in this direc
ton, we will take the record of the proceed
ings for one day last week. In the senat,
Messrs. LOGAN and TELLER were the in
structors in this branch of congressional
courtesy. The senator from Colorad
reminded the senator from Illnol
that great soldier is not necessarily
a great statesman. 1t didn't take the SEN
ator from Illinois very long to tell the sen.
ator from Colorado that his remarks wer
s'as unjust as they were untrue" In tn

BALL CLUB SURE.
Prof. Barnes Proposes TO Have Some
of His Players Here Next Week.

Two weeks ago it seemed very improba-
bic that St. Paul would be represented in
the Northwestern Base Ball league. but it
is a settled fact now that this city will be
represented and have a nine that will
be able to compete with the
best of them for the honors of the diamo nd.
John S. Barnes is the man who deserves
the credit for putting the nine I'm the field.
Had it not been for him, st. Paul would
have missed this season, as she did last the
rare entertainment that is derived from wit
Messing a good game of base ball. The
grounds have been secured in good lOca-
ton on the West side and Prof. Barnes has
sent for six men who will arrive here by the
18th of the present month and begin prac-
tice. Other men will soon follow and they
will be put to work on the grounds, and the
nine will be formed from the men who make
the best showing in practice. The first
game will probably be played here in May.
The grounds will be closely fenced and a
grand stand will be erected on them and
especial attention will be given by the man
agement to accommodations for ladies as

Trains ON all Roads 10 be Running
To-day.

ST. LOUIS, April 4.-,Matters in regard
to the strike at this point have been very
quiet to-dOy. No trains were moved in
the Missouri Pacific yards, but on the
other side of the river the Cairo
short line sent out its first train since the
trouble over there began, and the Indian
apolis & st. Louis road sent out two trains
and received two from the East. 1t is I'M
derstood tonight that arrangements have
been made for general resump-
ton of traffic In East st. Louis
tomorrow. The managers of roads cen
tering at that point have posted notice in
public places and otherwise notified the
men that they are ready to employ as many
of their old employees as they need
TO do their work who make
application before l o'clock tomorrow
Monday. After that time applicants will
be considered from any body. No new
men will be discharged, however, to make
places for former employees, nor will any of
their old men be re. engaged
who have committed unlawful
acts during the strike. 1t is also under
stood that the teanisters of the Transfer
company will return to work in body to-
morrow morning and that the Bridge &
Tunnel company will have men enough ON
duty to resume bridge traffic.

AsTRIDE THE WHEEL.
A Great Six-Days, Bicycle Race
Promised lIinuea polls.

The six-day bicycle race to be held some
time next month in the Washington rink.
Minneapolis, promises to be an exciting
sporting event. John S. Prince, Wood
side, Eek and possibly Robert Nelson will
be pitted against each other. and these men
are capable of giving an exhibition of speed
such as has never been seen in this country.
The race will be for the championship of
America and $1,000 sweepstakes. Each
man will pay 500 entry fee. and besides
the above-named riders. it is expected that
there will be six starters. An attempt will
be made to get Schock into the race, but ii
is doubtful If he will be able to reduce the
size of his head sufficiently by that date to
allow him to get inside the rink. Speaking
of him last week, the Mirror of American
Sports said:
Now that Albert Schock holds the worlds
championship and record for six days, he is
rea iy to meet all corners in q sweepstakes,
but he declares that be will not enter into any

bicyclists of the world will meet in Mime

would probably be able to attract these

can boast of several clever amateur wheel
men. and if this kind of sport was encour-
aged here it Is not improbable that men
would be brought out of the local clubs
who would be able TO do credit to them
selves, as well as honor to the city, by their
labors in the field of bicycling.

land and Secretary Manning.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-There are
rumors afloat that at the last cabinet meet
ing Secretary Manning attended there was
a scene between himself and the president.
The cause is alleged to have been that
Secretary Manning overstepped his duty in
making known to the finance committee of
the senate that no charges were on file
against a number of internal revenue
collectors since reported favorably to
the senate. The president, it is
said, held that Mr.. Manning had
yielded the very point IN controversy be-
tween the executive and the senate. See.
rotary Manning, as the report goes, very
vigorously defended his action, bnt ma
jority of the cabinet took sides with the
president The secretary left the cabinet
meeting somewhat in a passion, and the
further report is that he has written
his resignation as cabinet officer, and had
sent 1t to the president only little while
before he was stricken with apoplexy. The
fact that the president has not called upon
the secretary during his illness goes good
way toward giving these reports the color
OF truth.
