ST. PAuL's ICE CARNIVAL.
The Ice King Makes His Appearance,
Attended by Polar Bears.

The Ice King Makes His Appearance,
Attended by Polar Bears.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 26.-The St. Paul Ice
carnival has begun. AT 2 o'clock the Ice
king made his appearance on a float
drawn by six white horses and attended
by Polar bears. Mayor Sutphin, of Du-
luth, rode in the lord high chancellor's
chariot. John j. Rhodes, of Hastings,
posed as the lord high chancellor in q
float drawn by foul white horses abreast.
The royal party, attended by twenty-eight
Polar bears int 5000 uniformed men,
paraded the streets. Mayor Smith, Gov.
McGill and staff, and state officers, the
members of the council. and the city off,
cials were in waiting at the ice palace to
receive the ice king, and then, sitter an
address OF welcome by the mayor, the
great golden key of the palace was pre-
sented to his majesty. In the evening
there was a reception in the palace,
which was Illuminated for the first time.
Throughout the evening and until a
late hour the crowds upon the street evil
denced no disposition to exchange the
~discomforts OF the outer world for the
warmth of the house, and it was not
strange that such was the case. Third
street presented a brilliant appearance,
the sun glare upon this vari-colored
globes being forced TO give place to the
Bright and sparkling objects which IL
lumined the streets, and the radiated light
served ia a lesser degree to also extend
It's cheering influence to the side streets.
A vast throng were constantly upon the
march up one side street and down an
other, and it was not until a very late
hour that the streets resumed their usual
appearance. There was also q stand of
lights, which, reaching from the four
corners of Sixth and Robert, met in the
center of those streets and afforded the
guests Of the RYAN hatal an esee-.ssn;:-;
to view the miniature Illumination. Iso-
lated Itands of gas jets were also discern
s.aie in various parts of the city. The
palace, lighted with its pyramids Of cleo
trio lights, was beautiful in the extreme.
and an exclamation Of wonder and Of de-
light issued from the mouth Of each of
the many spectators as they entered tbs
grounds. The reflection of the light as
Il permeated the huge blocks Of crystal
was productive of an effect at once beau
tiful and iridescent, and was a source Of
pleasure to all lovers of beautiful and ar
tfgtfc effect. The ponds were being rapidly
apaded, and on one of them the skaters
we're already disportinR themselves, while
the tobogganists held high carnival and
speedily established themselves on the
slides, and from the time Of the opening
Of the palace until a late hour the chutes
were In constant operation, and the
world-worn spectator in the crowd was
made younger and cheered By the peals
Of joyous laughter which greeted his ears
As the tobogganists dashed past.

Startling Revelations Made by MIR. Plumb,
of illinois.

Startling Revelations Made by Mr.. Plumb,
of Illinois.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The resolution
introduced by Mr.. Plumb, of Illinois, asking
for an investigation Of the facts as to the
passage, engrossment and enrolment, Of
the funding act under which over $780,
GOO, 600, in a per cent. bonds were issued,
was received by the house judiciary COM
mittee, and hearing upon 1t will probably
be had next week. The resolution causes
considerable talk in the house. Curious
disclosures are expected, which mag in
volye the validity of all the a per cent.
bonds outstanding. When Mr.. Plumb
found that the journals Of the house
and senate showed the bill as passed pro-
vided that the government might redeem
these bonds at pleasure ''forthirty years.
instead Of latter thirty years. as the
published law puts 1t, he examined the
engrossed bill, and found that the word
s'for" had been erased all but the 'f.u
which was left In the same ink as the
rest OF the bill, and that the letters "a''
and tster" were inserted In another ink.
1t indicated a clear case of tampering, by
which, it ID estimated, the government
loses q large sum Mr.. Plumb called the
attention of Senator Edmunds to the
matter, and, after looking att carefully,
he said that it seemed to him that the
bonds issued under the act were invalid,
or else were redeeraable by the govern
ment at will.

POLITICAL SENTIMENTS.
Banquet by the Young Mems Republican
! Mt Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 20. - The Young
Mems Republican club gave a banquet
last evening. The visiting guests, of
whom there were many, were welcomed
In a few words by Mr.. Geo. I. Baggs.
The toast to which all the speeches were
addressed, was ''The National Republi-
can Party" Senator Evarts, OF New
York, was the first speaker. He said the
weakening Of the Republican party which
lost the presidency in 1884, was due TO
the hippant generation OF to-day. who
thought all had been done by their faith
ers from 1850 mn; that ahc.i! be aaf.s.
aIid ms hoped the young Republicans
would go to work and redeem the coun-
Icy, as their fathers had done.
Gov. Beaver, Of Pennsylvania, said
that II Republicans were true to them
selves and to the minority states in the
south, there would be no difficulty / n se-
curing victory next fall. Senator Haw-
ley saw two classics Of men-one who
when slavery was abolished accepted the
situation; the others were those who &C.
cured the abolition of the negro's bond
age. He knew to which party the former
belonged, and to which the latter class.
and knew too, which man be would pnt
ON the supreme bench of the United
States Ii he had the power. Senator
Chandler Of New Hampshire, said
that IL the fifteenth amendment, which
was injected by the Republican
party, and therefore should be taken
care Of by them, were reinforced in the
south next fall. 1t would be easy to elect
James q. Blaihe, or some other great Re-
publican, as president. Addresses were
also made BY James P. Foster, president
of the National Republican League club,
OF New York; Hon. Julius c.. Burrows,
o. Michigan; Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of
Illinois; Hon: Green b. Raum, of Indi-
ana; Judge Carey, Of Wyoming territory,
and many other prominent Republicans.

EXCITING COURT SCENE.
SELECTING A JURY FOR OHIO TALLY
SHEET FORGERY CASES.

MIR. Converse, of the Defense, Intimates
hat an Attempt Is Being Made to FIX
q Jnry-Tho Quiet Dignity Of Mr..
THURMAN. :
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 28. The tally
sheet forgery cases proceeded In the
criminal court, the work OF selecting a
jury coming first. The sixteen struck
jui.ymen responded to their names. but
all wanted to be excused. In some cases
the court granted their request. In the
case OF one of them, whom Mr.. Converse
for the defense seemed particularly anx-
ious TO secure as juror, but who was very
anxious to be excused, and whom the
court was inclined to let go, there was an
exciting scene. Mr.. Converse In his
speech against excnsing the juror, said
he feared there was a scheme to thus ex-
hhust the panel and to have the court
fill the jury box with such a jury as he
liked. The lawyer waxed warm when
he referred to this, and used the terms
conspiracy" ''ring,n Clique" mean
ing by them the citizens committee
which has managed the prosecution, and
intimating that the prosecuting attorney
and the court were members of it. This
fired the prosecutor to reply in hot words.
He said Mr.. Converse had tried to tmirch
the regulations Of every man who had
taken a stand against fraud at the ballot.
1t ill became him to try to smirch the
characters Of the men of the citizens
committee. This was as high above him
as heaven is above hell. This was not
the only tally sheet forgery he knew of,
and intimatsd that when the truth of the
matter was got at, Mr.. Converse himself
would be foand to be implicated. Mr..
Converse, in reply, tried to keep cool but
soon fell into fierce inyectives. Both gem
tlemen were cheered from the lobby, and
the court could not maintain order. He
frally called the attorneys down. Judge
Thurman then spoke. He said that he,
like Rip Van Wrinkle, might have been
asleep for twenty years, but in his days
at the bar attorneys did not indulge In
scenes Ike the n he had just witnessed.
So far as he was concerned he proposed to
treat every n connected with the trial
with courtesy, ald expected the same in
return. The juror had business engage
ments and should be allowed to go. The
court excused the juror and the panel be-
ing exhausted, court adjourned and a
a new panel ordered made up.

ing Blaine and Sherman.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 28.--The Republi-
can state convention met Wednesday
morning, but the credentials committee
not being ready to report, a recess was
taken until 2:30. Upon reassembliug
the committee reported, and after a long
debate, the report was adopted. The
committee on resolution then reported
the platform. The platform. among many
other things, endorses the Blair educa-
tional bill, calls for the protection of
American Industries, ard denouaces the
Democratic state convention for its en-
dorsement Of Cleveland upon the heels Of
his tariff message. After appointing a
committe Of twenty-one to nominate the
state ticket, the body took a recess. The
committee reported the following state
ticket, which was adopted by the conven-
tion:.
Governor-H. G. Yarmouth.
Lieutenant Governor-H. G. Miner.
Attorney General-Judge w. G. Wylie.
Treasurer-Andrew Hero, Jr.
Auditor-James Forsythe.
Secretary of State--J. f. Patty (col-
ored).
Superintendent of Education-B. F.
Flanders.
Yarmouth was the first Republican
governor of Louisiana. He is. an astute
politician, a man Of great ability, and
can organize the party better, perhaps,
than any other candidate that could be
named. The delegates from the state at
large to the national convention will
probably go uninstructed. The majority
Of them will be for Blaine, with Sherman
q good second.

ical imposter who claims to have been a
professor of theology in Chicago, was ar
rested at Dantzic, for Illegally perform
ing the ceremony of the mass and draw
ing the stipend of q priest. The atten-
ton of the police was attracted to him
through his ill-concealed relations with a

fact that the two were living together as
man and wife and the mans arrest fol-
lowed. 1t is believed that Eber is none
other than Heating, the clerical imposter
whose exploits in public two years G
