DEVELOPMENTS IN DULUTH
Tbs Zenith City Promises to Be Great
Railroad Center.
AsPIRANTs FOR OFFICE.
Col. Graves VIII Hustle for the
Speakership---PerSonal and
General.


DULUTH, Nov. eff one-haif the
number of railroads reach this city
which are now projected, Duluth will
be the greatest railroad center OH earth.
Though there are probably many paper
roads, there are are nevertheless many
so far developed as to be counted prac-
tically assured. There is no doubt of
the Duluth & Iron Range people ex-
tending their line to Port Ar
thur, and that, too, within the
next two years. The line will
traverse one of the richest iron and
timber belts i'll the entire Northwest.
and develop a country, the resources
and riches of which are not appreciated
even by residents of this immediate
vicinity. The Eastern Minnesota Rail-
way company will have direct line to
Cloquet from this point, while the Mali
itoba has a corps of engineers running
line from Cloquet directly west, 1t is
to form a part of the Brainerd q North
western line, having its intersection
about thirty miles from Bralnerd.
POLITICAL WANTS.
Whatever else Duluth may hope for
politically, she wants Col. G. Ill. Graves
made speaker of the next house. She
has other political irons i'll the fire, but
to secure this one prize. Asking every
thing and securing nothing in the past,
has demonstrated that concert OF
action in some one direction is neceS-
Sity, and so Col Graves will be given the
united assistance OF local politicians,
leaving other aSpirantS to hustle for
themselves as best they may.
1t is whispered that an effort is to be
made to secure R. C. Mitchell an APP
pointment of some kind that will take
him out of Duluth. This is hardly fair,
but the carroty-haired journalist has
made it so decidedly interesting for
politicians i'll times past that every ele-
ment is willing to see him transferred
to some other sphere of usefulness.
Frank Burke, ,Jr.. will make yigor-
our fight for place on the state board,
but his old-time friendship for Col.
Graves will not allow him to stand in
The Iatters way. And then there is
rumor that in order to give Duluth her
desired representation on the board,
and at the same time silence contending
factions, the Democratic member shall
be taken from here, in which event the
choice would probably fall upon Maj.
M. Il. Baldwin, president of the cham
Der of commerce, and by all odds the
most competent and worthy of any yet
suggested.
f. L. Buell.. Of the Daily Tribune, is
after the oil inspectorship. He is now
deputy at this place, and probably his
only hope is that by aiming for higher
place he may secure firmer grip Oh his
present position.
SAYS IT Is BI.ACKMAIL.
Charles Ii. IIinneil, a carpenter liv-
ing at Tower, yesterday had his uncle,
Lyman Linnell, arrested Oh charge Of
having ravished Mrs. Linnell. The
uncle claims it is a case of blackmail,
and AYERS that he can and will prove it
when the matter comes up fer trial.
The preliminary hearing has been set
for Thursday next.
PERSONAL AND GENERAL.
Chief Clerk Linton, of the supervising
architects office, reached Duluth yes
terday and this afternoon Postmaster
FLYNN opened and laid before him
tWenty-eight proposals to furnish the
government with an eligible site for the
proposed federal building here. The
proposals were in all shapes and from
all parties in every locality, but most
promising, and from which enc will
quite probably be selected are half
dozen on West First street, between
Second and Sixth avenues west. Mr..
Linton called upon Mayor Sutphin and
requested the mayor to call 4 meeting of
all parties interested to discuss the mat
ter and determine which is the most
available site. Accordingly mass
meeting has been called for tomorrow
evening when the matter will generally
be discussed and probably definitely de-
cided upon.
Another stabbing ARRAY occurred last
night in one of the saloons oh Minnesota
Point. A couple Of Finlanders named
AllatillO and Lippe spent greater .por-
lion of the day in loading themselves
with whisky, and when night came
were in just the right humor for cutting
and slashing. Neither could speak
English, but engaged in unintelligible
war of words for time, when Allatillo
drew knife and stabbed Lippe in the
back. DR.. Alden Sewed up the wound.
but all efforts to get an intelligent ac-
count Of the affair has proven futile.
Allatlllo was locked up and Lippe may
tlle.
DIR. c. F. Tasker, Anolla, grand Chan
Mcdonald. Minneapolis, past grand
chancellor: Walter w. Partridge. Moor
head, grand vice chancellor, and Fred
W. Wheaton, editor of the Pythian Adj
Vocate, were in the city Wednesday, at

of Diamond lodge, at the West end.
The season of navigation is now
nearly closed, and already number of
vessels have gone into winter quarters
here, while a number of others are OH
their way, and will tie ND as soon as
they arrive. Tie seasons business has
far exceeded that of any other year, and
when tabulated will show largely to the
credit of Duluth.
j. Adam Bede left for Washington
to-day. He will act as correspondent
for the Daily News of this city, and its
Washington department under his
