for these conventions have not yet been
set.
Mr.. Bixby also said the feeling down
his way was anti-McGill.
1t isn't often that Gov. Pillsbury likes
to be approached by reporter. Usu-
ally it is useless for a reporter to APP
prOach him. But yesterday he did
Shake hands with GLOBE ruStler.
That was about all. Nevertheless, it
may be inferred from the governors
asserting to certain decOy remarks that
he, too, is anti-McGill.
Stanford Newell is almost as unap-
proachable as Gov. McGill. Standing
looking over the Ryan register, he had
the GOODNESS to say he was not ashamed
to be party to the secret scheming of
the committee, that there was no plot,
plan or scheme, that the committee
would leave all that to the ''people,"
and that he did not, does not now,
and never will lndOrse the celebrated
remark of the awfully great Commodore
Vanderbilt. Notwithstanding, it was
Stanford Burnsides Newell who, as the
first official act of the committee, pleas
antly moved for an executive session.
ID
put. Gov, Pillsbury, without waiting
for a second, arose majestically and
politely requested all not members of
the committee to withdraw. They with
drew, and with them State Auditor
Braden.
What was Mr.. Braden around for,
ANYWAY? Is he candidate for gov
ernor? Did not Gov. McGill, at Mr..
Braden's suggestion, appoint Deputy
Auditor Kenyon to the position of pub
lie examiner? Under those circum-
stances Mr.. Braden will probably not
oppose Gov. McGill for the present.
~
Mr.. Bruckart, of st. Cloud, who takes
d. B. Searle'S place on the committee,
is an energetic looking little man. He
is for Barto for congress.
When Senator c. G. Edwards was
asked why it was decided to hold the
First district convention at Rochester,
he answered by half inquiry, half in
situation, that it might be congress
sional boom for Senator High License
Daniels, M. j.
Why were Col. Hans Mattson, Judge
Warner, E. p. Freemen and one or two
others hobnobbing together in the Ryan
rotunda? Does Col. MattsOn want re-
nomination?
w. r. Merriam was the only guberna-
toral candidate in the field yesterday
afternoon, and he corraled the commit
tee.
Representative Flynn, of Little Falls
says his county is for Senator Buchanan
for congress. If Gilman wanted to
make an effort for the gubernatorial
nomination the sentiment would proba-
bly, be all in his favor in the Fifth dis
trict.
Stanford Newal gives it out cold that
he doesn't want campaign like the
last one was in Minnesota.
Is Knute After 1t?
Special to the GLOBE.
RED WING, March 20.-Advices re-
ceived in this city are to the effect that
there is growing feeling among the
Republicans in the southern part OF the
county in favor of Hon. Knute Nelson
for gubernatorial candidate. That
portion of the county is largely popu-
lated by Norwegians and many con-
slider this favoring of him is sign that
the Fifth district congressman is in the
field after the nomination.

Editor A1beviiie Meridion4t.
Quite a pleasant and agreeable
affair took place ct Or. ". D.
Whites 0, Tuesday last, the occa-
sion being tie anniversary OF the
Doctors birthday. Relatives and
friends gathered around the festive
board and did Justice to the delica-
cies provided for them by the fair
hostess. Congratulations and pres
en:s were rendered, and q heartfelt
wish expressed for many happy re,
turns Of the day. During the time
spent at The table the great aud
momenlous question which is asitat.
Jag the civilized world to-day, as to
whether the present Chicago river
was formerly a ditch or not, was
mooted, when a very lively discus.
sion arose between Drs. White and
Bourne. tee former. contending that
it was always a river, the latter that
it vas at one time a ditch. AS the
discussion became very warm and
excited the guests were held almost
spell bonnd by the very able argu-
mcr,s produced gu both sides. Both
gentlemen sustained themselves in a
very eloquent manner, and neither
had much the advantage OF the
other until Dr.. Bourne produced
evidence to the effect that be had
crossed, as he called it. many years
ago on a punch (he did not state,
however, whether it was a whisky
punch or not). This seemed TO some
what stagger the genial host. and
DR.. Bourne seemed to think that he
had carried of the plum, but OF
retiring from the table DR.. White,
who was still in IA state Of doubt,
referred to the books, and what we
read therein threw us all iuto d state
OF uncertainty again, SO the great
question still remains unsettled.
Oh, that the time may soou come
When the intense strain On oar minds
shall be relieved by the settling of
this most important question that is
keeping the entire civilized world
in a state Of agitation by its remain
ing unsettled. Later on in the day

John l.. Wants Kilrain or Mitchell to
4s "Put Up or Shut Up.'
New YoRK, Dec. l2.-That John L.
Sullivan .is in earnest in his assertion that
he will fight Kilrain or Mitchell for the
championship cannot now be doubted even
by his enemies. The champion Of cham
pions" yesterday called on his friend,
Charlie Johnson, in Brooklyn, and made
arrangements to either force match with
Kilrain or Mitchell, or have them acknowl-
edge his superiority. Sullivan was accom-
panied to Brooklyn by James Wakely,
Dan Murphy and Phil Lynch, and after
salutations, the party entered private
room, where they we're Joined by Arthur
Lumley. 1t was finally decided to post
S5, 900 forfeit and challenge Kilrain or
Mitchell to fight for $4,000 or $1,000 u
side.
In conversation With World reporter
Sullivan said: 81 have not now great
deal to say for publication, but this | will
say: want to fight either Kilrain or
Mitchell, and will accede to any fair de-
mands they may make. will, however,
stipulate that we fight for not less than
! $40, 900 side in six months from the date
of signing articles. They must be able to
raise $4,000, and if they do will fight
them in the ring for the championship.
Kilrain claims the championship, and he
must make match or forfeit all claims to
the title, Mind you, don't acknowledge
the Justice of his claim, for | know. and
any other man does, that he never won but
one fight, and that from man who never
aspired to the title. Moreover, it was q
Queensberry rule contest with gloves. He
talks about being willing to fight me in
the ring. Well, now, here is the chance
will fight him on any neutral grounds in
America. l will not fight abroad, because
man cannot get fair play. This country
is the home of Kilrain, as it is also mine
and he cannot go back on it. He must
either put up or shut up"

Chicago Theater.

OswEeo, N. Y, Dec. 12.-During Mrs.
Langtry's performance "In PERIL" here
tonight In the Academy of Music, as the
curtain was about to rise on the last act
there was cry of fire from the rear of the
hall and thick clouds Of smoke poured up
through q large register in the middle
aisle. The cracking of flames was heard
audience rose panic. stricken. Cool-headed
men sprang upon the stage and
called out to the people that there was no
danger. Others mounted their chairs in
every part of the house and called upon
the people to remain cool. This succeeded
in partially quieting the peop.e, and in
two minutes the theater was cleared, just
as the flames sprang up through the floor.
BY this time the fire department was at
hand and streams of water we're pouring
into the building. The fire was soon ex-
heated furnace directly underneath
the center aisle and near the main en-
trance. But for its timely discovery 1t
would have shut of the people from es-
cape by the main door, and there would
have been a terrible scene, as the house
was packed.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12.--The auditorium of
the Chicago opera-house was set on fire
after the performance tonight by cal
cium light explosion. At midnight the
fire was burning fercely, and there is but

Just twenty minutes after the audi.

ployes closing up the house discovered
fire in the top gallery. Some time was
wasted trying to extinguish it with Bah
cocks and other appliances, and when
the fire department was summoned the
flames had gained good headway. The
auditorium had to be flooded with water,
and all the furniture, frescoing, etc., in
the body of the house was ruined, entail.

to the remainder of the building Is by

Der of gentlemen goodnight and thanking
them for their presence, the vice-president
elect assisted Mrs. Morton to a scat and
was followed by Mr.. Mckee and Mr.. Hal
ford. The carriages drove rapidly
through the city and out North Delaware
street to the residence Of General Har-
rison.
AT HARRIsoN's REsIDENcE.
At $3.50 o'clock the carriage drew up In
front of Harrison's residence. Secretary
Halford alighted and assisted Mr.. and
Mrs. Morton out, leading the way up the
path to the front door. In the yard stood
q group OF curious sight.seers. Tho party
had hardly reached the top Of the steps
when the general opened the door and ex-
tended Ills hands TO Mrs. Morton, assisting
her within. BY the side of the general
stood Mrs. Harrison and as Mrs.
Morton enter,d the threshold the
lady of the white lhouse cordially
embraced her and bid her welcome.
Meantime General Harrison turned 10 bid
his distinguished associate welcome, lead
ing the way into the front parlor. The
little party sat down before the fireplace
and chatted about the trip. After few
moments conversation the guests were
shown to their apartments and ut quar-.
ter past seven they sat down to dinner.
Only General Harrison's family and Mr..
and Mrs. Morton were present. Before
dinner was concluded, Federal Judge
Woods, a warm personal friend OF Cen
eral Harrison's, dropped In upon them,
shortly after which General Harrison and
Mr.. Morton excused themselves TO the
ladies, and with Judge Woods retired to
the library to enjoy their cigars.
RECEIVING QUESTS.
- L q -
Havanas, friends began to arrive TO pay
their respects to the generals guests. As
the number of callers increased small
impromptu reception was held and Gen.
eral Harrison, with Mr.. and Mrs. Morton
by his side, stood in the back parlor and
conversed with the visitors in the most i'm
formal manner. When the citizens COM
mittee arrived, Mayor Denny, spokesman,
warmly welcomed the vice. -president.elect
and his wife to Indianapolis and
extended to then the freedom
Of the city, He suggested that the state
house was proper and convenient place
for public reception, and said the COM
mittee had no doubt but that Governor
Gray would gladly tender them the use OF
the capital for such purpore.
MIR. Morton, on behalf of his wife and
himself, heartily thanked the mayor for
his welcome, and to the COMMITTEES stated
he would make reply In the morning re-
garding the public reception so
courteously extended. The gentlemen
composing the committee aud other callers
present then entered into general conver-
sation. At $3.50 o'clock the callers bid
the general and his guests good
nights and Mrs. Morton retired. For the
first time the president and vice-president
elect found themselves alone, and they sat
down on the big sofa in the back parlor
| and chatted for half an hour or more.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the party retired
for the night. There is no set programme

mammoth rotunda of the new union depot
was filled with citizens, travellers and
newspaper correspondents awaiting the
arrival of the distinguished visitors. The
citizens reception committee was also in
waiting. General Harrison did not come
down to the station. There was no demon.
stration as it was intended yesterday to
have. Wannamaker's guards were present
as an escort, but on reconsideration, not
knowing Mr.. Morton's wishes in the
premises, it was determined 10 abandon
all projects looking to public demonstra-
tion, and in lieu Of this to appoint COM
mittee to wait upon the president and
vice-president-elect. and ask them to name
time and place for holding a public re-
ception in honor of Mr.. Morton's visit. As
the train came to q standstill
Colonel New, Secretary Halford,

SUGAR TRUST.
The Senate Committee Looking into tho
GrOcers' Combination.


New YORK, Dec. l2.1Jhe senate trust
investigatin committee resumed its ses-
sion to-day. Francis b. Thurber of Thur
ber, Whylan & Co., testified that the pur-
pose of the Wholesale Grocers Association
was to maintain uniform prices by whole-
sale dealers. The only articles in which
any attempt has been made to fix rates,
were sugar, bakers cocoa and Royal bak-
ing powder. Witness denied that the
Wholesale Grocers' Association was formed
to compel members of the sugar trust to
sell to members Of the Grocers' Association
at less rates than were charged to mer-
chants not members of the association.
There was no understanding between the
association and the trust in regard to pur-
chasing from the trust rather than. four
other refineries. When the Grocers' As
sociation was first organized they tried to
induce manufacturers in the sugar trust to
fix prices so that all the members Of their
association might be allowed rebate, but
were unsuccessful. Recently, some of the
members of the association had been able
to make such an arrangement. Any mem.
