The Republican subcommittee
Putting the House in Order for
the Convention.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The members Of
the subcommittee of the National Re-
publican committee, which has in charge
the preparations for the National Re.
publican convention, are gathering at
the Grand Pacific this morning, and the
rotunda and corridors of that we'll
known hostelry are crowded with Re-
publican politicians. The sub-cOmmit-
tee is made up of John S. ClarksOn, DeS
MOines; President FesSenden, of Con-
necticut; Hobart, New Jersey; Jones,
Pennsylvania; COnger, Ohio; Clayton,
Arkansas; Leland, Kansas; Howe, Me-
ject of the meeting is the appointments
of all the citizens committees and the
general elaboration of ali of the preliml-
mary plans for the convention. The
meeting is, in reality, the opening OF
the presidential campaign. The con-
ventiOn meets the middle of June, and
as all the delegates to it must be se-
lected at least sixty days before, it will
require all of the state conventions to
be held by the middle of April at least,
which leaves to the committee but a
very short time for preparation. The
meeting to-day will appoint local COM
mittees for the purpose of carrying out
Chicago's part of the contract. BY the
terms of the proposition made to the ma
tional committee, the citizens agree to
pay for all the running expenses of the
convention, including hall rent, rent Of
committee rooms and printing. The
subcommittee will arrange plans for
raising money, and number of repre-
sentative citizens have been invited to
meet with the committee for that pur-
pose. Instructions have been gwen to
the national committee to limit the num-
ber of admissions to the convention at
any one session to 5000, and this will
keep the audience down TO reasonable
proportions and prevent jam of 10000,
as has been the case heretofore.

OrtOnville's Splendid Prospects.
Special to the Globe.
ORToNvILLE, Feb. 9.-At last even
ing's session of the city council it was
decided to proceed at once to negotiate
the SO, 900 worth of water works bonds,
voted last fall, and to begin operations
on the system at the earliest possible
practical moment. This has strength
ened the feeling already induced by the
certainty of the two new railroads the
coming season. One is the Morris, Mil
bank d Southwestern, which will give
us Duluth outlet, and the other is the
Ortonville & Southern, an extension of
the F. & S. division of the Mil
waukee road south to the Iowa
coal fields. Another institution that is
going to be of large benefit to the city
is the Ortonville Internal Improvement
association, a strong local company
organized for the purpose Of opening
and developing the immense granite
quarries adjacent to the city. This
company will build in the early spring
a handsome granite building from the
product of its quarry. Considerable
confidence prevails also that we will
secure a government appropriation of
$4,000 for the improvement of Big

Canadian Pacific road cannot carry the

Resolved, That our people do not at

of their labor and can submit no longer
to restrictive railway policy which by
paralyzing trade and sapping their re-
sources renders them unequal to the

A SCHEME OF LAND SHARKS.
A Soldiers Measure Which Needs
Close investigation.

Specialize the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, Feb. g. 9.-Postmasters
throughout this section are receiving
circulars from a Washington pension
attorney declaring that "a great in
justice has been done the old soldiers of
the late war by the different states and
the national government in not secur-
ing to every soldier or his legal repre-
sentative 100 acres of the public lands
of the United States or land warrant
therefor, or its equivalent in money!"
that "the infirmities of age now
prevent the soldier from max
ing or securing home on the
public lands, which are fast passing
into the hands of foreigners, the capital
lists and powerful corporations that,
'sto remedy this wrong a powerful effort
will be made this winter to secure from
congress law granting to the soldier a
bounty land warrant of 160 acreS;" etc.
Enclosed with the circular is blank
petition, which the postmasters are re-
queSted to circulate amOngssthe soldiers.
The petition reads: I'VE, the under
signed soldiers who served in the United
States army during the late war of 1861,
respectfully petition that your homo ra-
bic body will enact law
late war-or his legal represen-
tatiye-a bounty land warrant for 100
acres. or certificate of right to locate,
in person or by agent, 160 acres of the
public lands of the United States, SUBJ
lect to homestead entry" and further
sets forth that 1.-The agents of the gov
efnment, in order to secure enliStments,
did in thousands of cases actually make
the promise that each man should and
would receive 160 acres of land, and this
belief became so general from oft repe-
tition that in nearly every case of en-
]istment the implied understanding with
the, soldier was that he was sure of
his 160-acre grant from the gov
ernment for his hOme.'' etc. The dis
tribution Of the circular and the petit
tion are regarded by land men here and
by soldiers as part of big scheme of a
syndicate of land sharks to get up a bill
OF the kind named and endeavOr to rush
1t through as a soldiers measure and
then gobble the land warrants. The
circulation of the petition all over the
country would give the supposed
sharks a list of the names of thou

HIS ROYAL NIRS.
He Disgusts an Opera Audience
With His Drunken Orgies.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-The Prince OF
Wales horse, HOheniinden, won race
at KemptOn yesterday, and this rare
event in the turf experience of his royaI
highness so elated him that he went to
the Opera COmique last evening to wit
ness the new play, 'The Bond of We'd
lock-" in an extremely hilarious condi-
ton, accompanied by some boon com.
paniOns. His hilarious mood de-
velOped after reaching the theater,
and the sounds of loud talking
which issued from the rOyal
box Immediately after his arrival
soon increased in volume till it seemed
as though the occupants were vieing
with each other in endeavOrs to discover
which Of them could shout the loudest.
In this way the audience and the actors
were annoyed and interrupted for more
than an hour, until it pleased the future
king to betake himself with his party
elsewhere. The success of the princes
horse is explained by the fact that there
was only one other horse in the race,
which obligingly fell on the track and
left Hohenlinden the alternative OF
finishing winner or falling also.
