A SECRET CAUCUS.
The Import of Which Finally
Leaked Out.

Last Monday the GLOBE contained
an allusion to a secret meeting of Dem
ocrats, held the day before, and which
was reported to have been In the inter-
est of Col. Glenn. 1t seems now that at
that meeting was arranged second
one, which occurred at the Nicollet
house Tuesday, and at which quite
number Of prominent Democrats were
present. They decided to keep the
meeting secret, and pretty nearly sue
cecded, as only the most indefinite
rumors crept out. 1t was whispered
about that an effort had been
made to bring Ames, Glenn and
Doran together. and that 1T failed.
Ames refusing, fiat footed, to have any
thing TO do with it. This story, which
is untrue, grew out of the fact that
Ames was at the meeting and that his
voice, pitched on patriotic key, fioated
buoyantly out over the transom. Atthe
meeting were John c. Oswald, A. L.
Ankeny, G. A. Hanscome and a dozen
others and the object was to see how
AmeS stood with regard to the district
delegateship. 1--WE might have been
saved the trouble" said one of those
present, ''if we had waited until the
GLOBE came out with the Ames inter
view next morning."
In his speech the mayor laid down his
position with frigid exactness and
bluntnesS. He said he had carried the
party banner nearer to victory than any
member of his party, and now he did
not propose to be dictated to Or snubbed
by DOran. He would go into the state
convention and dust the floor with
Doran. or iind out why. Among those
present was Hon. P. II. Rahilly, of Lake
City, who also had a word to say, and it
was given cut that it carried with it an
encouraging pat OH Ames' back. After
this the meeting, learning Ames' posi-

DIVIDING THE DELEGATES.
The Number to Which the Wards
and Towns Are Entitled.

AS the delegates to the state conven-
ton will, or should be, apportioned as
nearly as possible to the various wards
and towns, it may be of some advantage
to know, in advance, the relative voting
strength. There will be PIG delegates
to the convention, of which number SO
will come from the country, leaving l67
for the city. Under the convention
plan, the country district gets more
than its share, as it has not nearly one
third of the voting strength of the city.
There are thirty-three delegates to be
chosen, of which the county will get
four, leaving twenty-nine to be
toned to the Democratic vote of
the city, the several wards would be en-
titled to delegates as follows: First, 3;
Second, 2: Third, 4; Fourth, 8; Fifth, 3;
Sixth, 5; Seventh, 2; Eighth, 2; Ninth,
2; Tenth, L; Eleventh, 2; Twelfth, l.;
Thirteenth, l; country towns, a; total,
80.
The usual plan has been to instruct
the chair to appoint committee to Sc
lect the delegates, and this rule will
probably be followed tomorrow; but
considerable objection is urged against
it, and it may be that each ward delega-
ton will insist on naming its own dele
gates to the state convention. This
matter has not been especially can
vassed, but individuals have spoken of
1t, and upon it may be made the test OF
strength in the convention.

THE FISHERIES TREATY.
Majority Report Adversely for
Ratification.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The major
ity of the senate committee on foreign
relations, in reporting adversely the
resolution for the ratification of the fish
cries treaty, refer to the passage of the
act of March 3, 1887, "to authorize the
president to protect and defend the
rights of American fishing vessels, etc.,
i'm certain cases." which act the report
quotes in full, and continues:
So far as is known to the committee,
no step whatever was taken by the
president to put this law into eXecu-
ton, but negotiations were initiated
and continued, to the apparent end of
accomplishing what congress had
thought it unfit to undertake in such a
way, all adjustment of these difficulties
by the diplomatic course of securing a
part of American rights at the expense
of yielding other and the most funda-
mental and important of them. The
majority crIticise the president for
withholding information upon the aues-
ton from the senate, and summarizes
its findings and opinions as follows:
! Firit-The United States recognize as
British territory. and renounce forever
all claim of independent right in all
great bays along the British North
American coasts, named in the treaty.
and admit that all such bays form
part of and are within British territorial
sovereignty and jurisdiction.
sSecond-Of the few of such great bavs
that are left to be visited by the
American fishermen the larger part are
understood to be valueleSs, and some of
them are subject to French fishery
rights older than our own. if thew arc
British bays.
Third-If bay fishing is not profitable
now, it may be in the future.
oFourth-Whether profitable or not.
the United States ought not to give up,
upon any consideration whatever. the
right of its vessels, of every character.
to visit and carry on business in any
part of the public seas.
Fifth = The treaty surrenders the
claim and right of the United States,
which has been acted upon and exer-
cised for now more than century, of
its vessels engaged in fishing OF other
occupations to visit and carry OH their
business in these great bays. and the
principle of which claim and right has
once been sOlemnly decided against
Great Britain by a tribunal organized
under treaty with that government.
SiXth-The new area of delimitation
described in the treaty greatly increases
the danger of our fishermen uninten-
tionally invading prohibited waters, and
thereby exposing them to seizures and
penalties.
Seventh-The treaty, by the fifth arti.
Gle, renounceS any right of the United
States in any bay, etc, however large
that cannot be reached from the Sea

HOW IT HAPPENS.

Cutting Down of the Appropria-
items Occasions the Light Diff
Guilty.
An effort seems to be made to have it
appear that the cutting down of the
street lights is due to the necessity of
curling extravaganza for which the
Democratic majority in the city council
is to be held responsible. The trouble
arose, however, from the cutting down of
the appropriations after the estimate
of the cost of lighting for the year had
been made. Sept. 20 Aid. Gibson, chair
man of the committee on gas, made an
estimate of Si50,000 from orders already.
Up TO Sept. 20 the council had given
orders for lights, the cost of which
would amount to $15S,000 in a year. Sep
TENDER 80 the council made the appro-
priation for the year Sl3O,O0O, conse-
quently it has been found necessary to
make 4 reduction of S3S. 600.

GLENN is PLEASED,
But He browns Politics in the
Noise of BoiIer-Making.


Col. Michael Glenn. who is supposed
to be deeply interested in the caucuses
held Wednesday evening, was found
yesterday afternoon at his boiler works,
directing the unloading of several cars
of plate-iron.
"Ah, me boy, glad to see you," was
his welcome, as his visitor entered the
Office and accosted the Democratic war
horse. Whats that? Want to inter
view me? No sir, and I'll tell you why.
l am now engaged In my boiler-making
business and am not paying any atten-
ton to politics. Guess you don't really
want to interview me?"
"What do you think, colonel, of the
recent caucuses?"
"Well, as far as they are concerned,
am well pleased, and why shouldn't L
be, as am taking no part in politics,
and its all one to me, no matter who is
elected. l am we'll pleased, as l said
before, for there is nothing to displease
me.''
''In case it came to show down
would you favor AmeS or DOran for
"Say, young man, have you ever been
through my boiler works, where l am
putting in all my time at present? No?
Well, just come out and | will take you
through the shop" and before the Wis
itor could say no, Col. Glenn had him
10y the arm, and was making rapid
tracks the shop, from which sounds OF
varied nature issued.
Now" exclaimed the colonel, as he
led his visitor under big boiler, upon
which a dozen or more men we've at
work, lis not that a grand sight to see
all those men hard at work making a
locomotive boiler? That beats politics
all to pieces. don't it? Now just come
over here" leading the way to another
part of the shop. "Here is lot of iron
and steel which just came i'll to-day, and
which is making me hustle to pay the
the freight"
"But, colonel" interposed his dis
heartened visitor, Il came here to get
an interview and not to see your darned
old boiler works."
"Oh, that's nothing. You can't do
any better than to study the mysteries
of bOilermaking. You might think that
those men were making watches, but
no, they are simply making boilers.
The one they are working on now is a
locomotive boiler. Won't you have a
glass of lemmonade? My men here
never drink anything stronger, and find
that they work better on that than on
anything else"
what do you think Of"
Yes; the various papers have raked
me over rather lively, but that's moth
ing. AS soon as man retires to pfi-
vate life he don't care much what the
papers say. What, going now! Well,
come again, and | will take pleasure in
showing you around"

But No Damage Reported or Even
Anticipated.

anticipated.
Since the present dixie and apron have
been in use at the falls the oldest inhab-
liant cannot recall time when the
river was as high as it is at present.
The water is now within less than a
foot of the top of the wall of the old
mills, and a rise of that much will
carry it over and sweep the lower plat
form. The upper dam of six feet is
almost imDerceptible, as the water goes
over it III such volumes, while the sec

is dashed into foam at the bottom in a

spectacle and passengers on the yiaduct

yesterday that the high water had

The PhiladeIphia Lawyer ~

The philadelphia Lawyer" who is
proverbial for ability in solving knotty
questions, is unrivaled in good con-
veyancing, and has made the titles in
that city clearer than in any other in
the Union. Yet Philadelphia has more
generally adopted title insurance than
any other city, and her title companies
pay losses on titles which were deemed
perfectly safe. The demand for such
insurance is more imperative in Minne-
apolis, where the chances of error are
increased by inexperienced conveyance
ing and rapid sales. We should profit
by the experience OF older cities.
