THE INITIAL STEPS
For a Soldiers Monument on
Bridge Square.


There was a well-attended and en-
thusiastic meeting last night at the ex-
position Office for the purpose of yenti-
lating the proposition to erect hand
some monument to the memory of the
dead soldiers of the war Of the REBEL
ion. p. B. Schuyler presided and Will
lam M. Regain was elected secretary.
Strong speeches were made by CaptS.
Cross, Babb, LESSONS and Judge Tor
rance, all in favor of the movement. In
course of the conversation that was
generally carried Oh, constant mention
was made about the citizens doing this
and the soldiers doing that, when a
good deal of merriment was caused
by some one calling out that was the
first time he ever heard of man losing
his citizenship because he was a
soldier. Capt. Judson N. Cross moved
that a committee of five afterwards
raised to severn be appointed to formu-
late plan for procuring designs and
inquiring thoroughly into the monument
question, the chair to appoint the
committee. This was unanimously car
ried, and the following gentlemen were
submitted by the chair and accepted:
Messrs. G. U. Loring, Ell Torrance,
w lllldHl ~. hegdu, CdpC. u. ". DdDU, y.
Ii. Eye, George A. Bracket and

will be expected to report as soon as
possible, when more definite action Will
be taken in this matter. Among the
most prominent of those present were:

I'm TRADES ASSEMBLY.
The Girls Strike and the Specta-
tor Matter Discussed.


The Trades assembly had particu-
larly interesting meeting last even
ing that lasted far into the night
There was considerable interest, as it
was expected several important mat
tiers would come out. The Spectator
matter and the probable grand jury
work were settled in brief resolution,
which said:
Whereas, 1t was generally accepted that
"rats squeal when they are hurt
Resolved, That it did them good to hear
the Spectator squeak.
The strike at Shotwen, Clerihew
& Lathman'S was considered at
length, and several resolutions were
adopted. She first condemned the male
employees, who threw paper wads at the
girls while the latter were waiting for
their pay. The second censured the
firm for keeping the girls waiting on the
street for their money instead of letting
them all in at once. Another resolution
boycotted the cheapened grade of
goods made by this firm, advising
friends all over the country to refrain
from buying or wearing them. The
subject of employing the work.
house prisoners on the streets was fully
ulScuSStu, anu lue dcIlOu Ol UHe COUNCIL
roundly censured. The fact that it
brought such labor into competition
with honest toll, was the principal OBJ
lection. 1t was also urged that a
young man convicted for a
first offense would be made hard
ened criminal. They recommended that
such convicts should be employed on
the city farm raising their own food.
One member said he would be willing
to see these convicts put on the police
force, but not where they could compete
with honest men.

A COSTLY MISTAKE
For Which Newspaper Is Asked
to PAY Il Large Sum.

Dexter A. Allen and Carrie L Allen.
his wife, have each begun suit against
the Pioneer Press for libel. Mrs. Allen
sues for S25, 900 damages, resulting from
certain false statements which were
made in an article published in the
Pioneer Press the 2Sth of last Septem-
Der. This article stated that Allen
entered the Grand opera house
during the progress of the play "Tobog-
gaming" and walked eXcitedly to the
head of the aisle, when his eyes soon
met the object of his search, his pretty
wife. Allen rushed where Mrs. Allen
and her gentleman companion were and
remarked sYou! you have been fooling
me- 1t was very lively for the next
few minutes. Allen grabbed his wife and
pulled her into the aisle. The woman's
companion, not wishing to take part in
the little afterpiece, quietly but quickly
folded his cloak and made a hurried
exit. 1t afterWard appeared that
it was a case of mistaken iden-
tity on the part of the
reporter. Mr.. Allen claims that his
reputation and business interests have
suffered by reason of the publication of
the article, and brings suit for $4,000
damages. The Pioneer Press corrected
the mistake in way that was thought,
at the time, to be satisfactory.

is 1T A CONSPIRACY?
The Spectator Boycott Before the
Grand jury.

The boycott which Typographical
Union No. AZ last winter declared
against the Spectator is to find its way
into court. The paper, it will be re-
membered, refused to recognize the
union and it's established schedule of
wages. A boycott was declared, the
union men were ordered out, and
an advertisement was inserted in an
evening paper to the effect that ito pat
roniZe the Spectator was to boycott Or
ganized labor The efforts of the
union to bring the paper to terms did
not end there. A little paper called the
"Crank," was started, which devoted
considerable attention to the Spectator
and its management. 1t appears also
that members of the union attempted
personally to induce advertisers to
withdraw their patronage from the
Spectator, and the threat of being in
cluded in the boycott is said to have
been made in number of instances.
NeWSdealers were advised not to sell
the paper; theaters and business houses
not to advertise in it, and an effort was
also made to divert legal advertising
from its columns.
G. II. Dubois, the editor and proprie-
tor, was yesterday before the grand
jury, ana submitted STATEMENT OIL WHdu
he considers to be the unjust persecu-
ton to which he has been subjected.

mony of witnesses who were ap-

to show that he has paid fair wages. By
this he expects to secure the Indictment
of certain members of the union who
have been most active in working up
the boycott under the penal code in re-
lation to conspiracieS, which reads
''lf two or more persons conspire to

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Speculative Prices Higher, but the
Business Outlook Less Favor

Speculative Prices Higher, out the
Business Outlook Less Favor
able.
New YORK, April 2O.-R. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly trade review, say:
There are higher prices in speculation,
but the business outlook is distinctly
less favorable. Stocks are stronger and
breadstuffs rising with oil and provis-
ions. But purchases for consumption
are so restricted that almost every inn
portant banch of manufacture feels the
check, and the volume of business re-
corded in bank clearings outside of New
York is smaller by e per cent than at the
same time last year, with decline of
over 21a per cent at New York.
the chief materials tend down
ward. so that, in spite of a
material advance in speculative prices
since January l, and in vegetables, the
average of all prices is shade lower
than at the opening Of the year. Re
ports of injury to wheat evidence that
the backward spring has limited SOW
ing, and the belief that the death of the
German emperor will lead to war, all
influence the breadstutfs market to
higher prices. Wheat has risen "a
cents, corn cents, pork so cents per
barrel, and lard nearly a cent, hogs 80
cents per 100 pounds. and oil cents.
Crushed sugar has been advanced a
quarter. Weaker prices for wool,
especially for the grades most largely
consumed, indicate no improvement in
the manufacture; cotton is weak in
tone, though unchanged in price, with
print cloths selling at only 80 cents;
leather is not stronger, and break in
prices of boots, with dragging trade,
and especial dullness in women's shoes,
indinate that this branch of manufact-
ure, so long more hopeful than almost
any other, at last feels the shrinkage in
consumption. The iron trade does not
change materially. Sales of steel rails
for this year have been 65S,543 tons,
against ], 494, 1888 at the same date last
year, and weaker prices in the West re-
ported, though not here.

A Bold Attempt.

A dastardly attempt at brutal out
rage was made by an unknown man
near the corner of Sixth avenue south
and Washington last evening. Nina
number Of other little girls, were play
ing in the street, near the Mil
waukee tracks. when man came
out from behind freight car. caught
Nina in his arms and started back to mis-
hiding place with her. Nina screamed,
and the other girls ran into store across
the street and told what had happened.
Several men Immediately rushed out,
but the scoundrel saw them coming,
and, dropping the little girl, ran. The
little girl is daughter of Fl. L. Camp
bell, and was very badly frightened.

TO BE REARRANGED.
Democratic Apportiontment to
Meet the New Precincts.

Meet the New Precincts.
1t was expected the Democratic
county committee would have last night
completed the apportiontment and is
sued the call for the county convention,
but the subcommittee was not ready to
report and an adjournment was
taken. The first basis was one dele
gate for each $50 votes for AmeS IN
1886, but the change of precincts
makes the computation difficult. In
1856, when the Democratic vote in this
city was about $4,000, there were Al
precincts, and at the spring election in
1887, with Sc precincts, the vote was
about 5000. Using the $50 basis, with
the Sc precincts, the computation
is difficult and the convention would
be very small. j. w. Lawrence
is chairman of the subcommittee and
will submit a plan providing for
smaller basis, so as to give larger
convention. 1t is probable the dates OF
the convention will have to be deferred
several days, but it will still be in album
dant season for the state convention.
When the aldermen are through
with the redistricting of the city under
the new charter provision of $50
votes to a precinct, there will probably
be as many as 100 precincts in Mime
apolis. The committee has figured on
the Fifth ward and made eighteen pre-
cincts, as against the seven now
divided. Fourteen have been figured
out for the Fourth ward and eight for
the Second. The Democrats will urge
the highest number of precincts the
law will allow, as heretofore the heavy
registration in Democratic precincts has
resulted in the loss of many votes to the
party.
