special to the Globe.

and this afternoon chapter was added
to what promises now to be another
bitter personal warfare, with r. G.
Mitchell again the central figure.
While walking down Superior street
Shannon met Mitchell, and without
wasting words reached for the old war
horse, and, grabbing him with one
hand, planted the other Squarely be-
tween his eyes. The force of the blow
sent Mitchell Keeling against the build
ing, and, without having uttered
word, Shannon proceeded up street,
leaving his adversary to collect him
self as best he could. Mitchell says
he will get out warrant
for the athletic prohibitionist's arrest,
and expressed surprise that Christian
should be guilty of so worldly an act.
Half dozen prominent men are in
VOlved In the affair and other fistic
arguments are expected. Public senti-
ment upholds Shannon, and he can
safely reckon himself several hundred
votes ahead by his vigorous and timely
action.
st. Paul & Duluth officials have finally
decided upon a mammoth union depot
after the plans of the one at Mime
apolis, extending from Fifth to Sixth
avenue west on Michigan street, and to
cost 500, 600. Work will be commenced
at once
DULUTH's GROWTH.
When within the next decade up
wards of 100, 600 people hurtle about this
side hill, over One-half of them will not
dream of the obstacles mastered during
the season of 1888. Entire blocks of
sOlidly jagged granite are giving way to
smooth streets, while avenues, SEEM
ingly impregnable six months since, are
being transformed into handsomely
graded and easily traVersable drive
ways. An ocean steamship can now
float beside a warehouse where one year
ago a canoe could scarcely be propelled
through tangled weeds and over marshy
ground. Such is the mechanical in
genuity of man and the determination
of Duluth deniZenS to-day. A terminal
railway system without a superior in
the world, car shops employing thou
sands of men, blast furnaces, steel mills
and wholesale mercantile establish
ments without number, with their
foundations already in course of con-
struetion, are assured. Little wonder
that all railroads are looking this way
and preparing to take advantage of and
secure a share Of the vast bushes
rapidly developing.
POLITICALLY SPEAKING.
The week has closed with little change
politically. ALI parties have, SO far,
confined themselves to the still hunt,
end, whatever their hopes or fears, CALI
didateS are extremely reticent about
giving anything out to any newspaper
man. OF course, they are all confident,
but, somehow, figures to sustain the
faith that is within them are never
forthcoming. Republicans simply con-
tent themselves with claiming every
thing, and, in a vague sort of way,
place St. Louis cOunty'S majority for
Merriam and the remainder of the
ticket, at from 1900 down to I,5OO.
They have had everything their own
way for so long that the disposition to
let ''all things come to him who waits"
may have disastrous result. De-
mOcracy is not idle, nor is it discouraged
Rt the claims of opponents. Every local
nominee is a hustler, and, practically,
the first united and active canvass is
being made. There is method in the
silence hereabouts.
