All Oujet In ST, Paul.

All was quiet amongst the Milwaukee
switchmen in st. Paul last night. Ru-
mors were flying thick and fast through
the yards, but nothing definite was ar
rived at: One switchman, in converse
tion with GLOBE reporter, said:
eve have received no orders to 90
out yet, but as soon as we do, We'll 90
out. you bet, Yes, we expect to receive
such an order, but we can't tell when it
will come. 1t may be at any hour"

Not Particularly Pleased.

LONG PRAIRIE, Minn., March 81
The Republicans here are not particu-
larly pleased with the Scheffer boom.
His Endorsement by the Farmers alli-
ance, together with Merriam's farmer
following, is equivalent to saying that
the farmer element must have banker
for their choice this year. Hon. Will
lam e. Lee was heard to remark to-day
that if the candidate for governor must
be- a banker to crafty the farmers he
did not see why they should select a
country banker instead of city banker.
Perhaps a gubernatorial bee is buzzing
in Banker Lees bonnet.

strained. Nor have we entered into any
alliance with the switchmen. We can
light our own fight without them, and
they are more of a hindrance than help.
The fact is that the trouble now has got
beyond our control. The strike fever
seems to be epidemic, and we should
not be held responsible for the violent
acts OF Self-constituted allies with whom
we have nothing III common"

HOPKINS SENTENCED.
The Fidelity Bank Cashier Gets
Seven Years and Two Months.

CINCINNATI, o., March 3l.-Benjamin
B. Hopkins, late assistant cashier of the
Fidelity National bank, who has been
in Jail for two months, awaiting SEN
tence under conviction for violation
of the national banking law, was
brought into the United States
court this morning, upon motion
of District Attorney Burnet, and
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
seven years and two months. He ap-
peared broken down from illness, but
did not manifest deep emotion upon re-
ceiving his sentence. When the judge
was saying that it would be better for
him to be at Columbus during his i'll
ness than at the county Jail, because he
would not have to pay there for extra
attention he might require, he inter-
rupted the judge to say that that disad-
vantage had been removed by the iailer,
who had ceased to make extra charges.

VISITING OFFICIAL.
Consul Leeca and the Negotiations wit
Italy for Art Works.

Consul Lecca and the Negotiations with
Italy for Art Works.
The Directory of the California Museum
Association some days ago extended an in
vitation to Signor Jules Lecca, Vice Consul
for Italy at the port of San Francisco and
acting Consul, to visit Sacramento with a
view to a consultation concerning negotia-
tons on loot between the Directory and
the Italian Government, through the
American Minister at Rome, with regard
to certain proposed exchanges of American
inventions for certain works of art in
sculpture. In that negotiation Charles A.
Doherty, the accomplished Secretary of the
American Legation al Rome, has been
active and has rendered the Association
service that is highly appreciated. Prior to
sending on further papers in the matter, it
was desired to have the Italian Consul well
informed concerning the proposition in
hand. Accordingly Signor Lecca, accom-
panied by Mr.. Casanova of San Francisco,
came to the city Tuesday night. Yesterday
the Directory received the two gentlemen,
who were part of the time escorted by
Captain de Gauo, at the Art Gallery. After
lunch the entire party called upon Gov
ernor Waterman. who gives the Directory
his aid in their negotiations. Subsequently
President Green escorted the two visitors
to prominent places of interest in the city.
In the evening the Consul and Mr.. Casso-
nova. Mayor Gregory and the Directory &C.
cepted the inequalities of Governor Newton
Booth-a member OF the Board-where the
| business of the visitation was thoroughly
talked over. and in encouraging spirit
| The matter is one set on foot by Director
| =. Lubn in his recent visit to Italy, and

Clnnin onera House.

T. J. Farron and his comedy-farce COM
pany had a good house last night-the con-
dition OF the weather considered. The
free, "a Soap Bubble. " is quite as light
and airy as It's title, and scarcely more ma
terial than the filmy structure that names
it. Farron is Il capital Irish low comedian
and eccentric character actor. 1t is but JUS
tice to say that Mr.. Connolly, his chief sup
port. does not fall below his level, and is a
versatile and exceedingly humorous char
acter actor. He reminds one strongly OF
Evans, of the Evans & Hoey troupe, but is,
if anything, a more clever actor. Both
Miss Foster and Miss Ross are pleasing
singers, but the latter is especially happy in
her solos. The musical gem of the even
ing was the quartet by Sanders, Connolly,
Rowland and Mack The audience was
thoroughly well blessed with the nonsense
and extravsgant situations and humor OF
the Soap Bubble" and accorded it uu-
limited applause and laughter. The farce
comedy will be repeated this evening for
the last time.

LECTuRR ON INDIA.
The Reception rendered Btshop Bowm;
Last Evening.


Z. The reception rendered last evening at
the Sixth street Methodist Church to Bishop
Bowman, by the Methodists of Sacramento,
was largely attended The Bishop, upon
being introduced, said it was his intention
: to give a lecture upon India bat feeling
somewhat indisposed he would only al
tempt few brief remarks concerning
some of the characteristics of that wonder
| full people of which we know so little
India, he said, is about oneh half as large us
the United States without Alaska. and yet
! she sustains a population of about $50 000,-
600 of people. The ground in many To-
calities is unfit for husbandry, while in
! other places it is susceptible of the highest
cultivation, and produces abundantly. The
| soil, which has already been farmed for
twenty-five hundred years, seems TO have
lost none OF its virtue. 1t is still rich, no
| fertilizer being used to maintain its
producing qualities. The speaker said
that that which we used to enrich the
soil, in India is consumed for fuel.
The smoke settles on the ground, and per-
haps from that source the earth derived its
nourishment. There are some five or six
different kinds of people in India, some of
thsm resembling our American Indians.
They have number of religions, the prin-
cipal one being the Buddhist. The Metho-
dist denomination, he said, had accom-
plished great work among that people,
and he believed that the time was not far
distant when the people would forsake
their pagan forms of worship and bow to
the cross of Christ.
In speaking of the architecture he said
some of it surpassed anything in the known
world. The Tai Makal tomb, in the city of
