WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS.
The Hosts Gathering at Madison
to Form a State League.

The Hosts Gathering at Madison
to Form a State League.
Special to the GLOBE.
MADISON, Wis, March 14.-DelegateS
from the Republican clubs of the state
will meet at the capitol tomorrow to
form state league. 1t is estimated by
local enthusiasts that there will be 500
or more in attendance, besides nearly
as many more onlookers and advisers.
The machine work of the blow out fairly
commenced with the influx of delegates
to-day. Hon. Andrew E. Elmore, the
venerable sage of Mukwonago, arrived
on an early train this afternoon, and
set the bail rolling. Delegations from
all parts of the state are coming in to-
night and the corridors of the hotels are
beginning to show signs of life. From
appearances about every gray headed
officeseeker in the state is on hand to
get in their work on the 'kidS." The
principal interest at present centers in
the location of permanent state head
quarters, Milwaukee and Madison being
the hopeful aspirants. Both cities have
been hopeful of success. Indications up
to a late hour tonight, however, Indicate
a clean walk away for the Cream City.
Eau Claire and La Crosse, and other
Northwestern localities upon which
Madison has been relying for support,
seem to be for Milwaukee, and where
Madison will get its strength is a
conundrum. Very little is said of a
president of the league, but its quite
clear that Gen. Lucius Fairchild, who
will be remembered by some as having
at one time been commander III chief OF
the G. A. r., would accept the place, it
rendered him. Fairchild will be
likely to have no opposition II
he really wants it, and in
fact would be glad to get what
he could get to lift him out of
the political oblivion into which he was
thrown in consequence of his palsy
speech. McFettridge is the only
gubernatorial candidate yet here, but

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHEs.
Points on the Charges Made
Against Agent Gregory.

Special to the GLOBE.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, March 14.-The in
vestigation being conducted at Wash
ington into the management of Indian
affairs in Northern Wisconsin by Indian
Agent j. F. Gregory is keeping quite
number of prominent loggers on tender
hooks, while others secretly rejoice that
a number of crooked deeds are being ex-
posed. Some papers try to make it ap-
pear that the Callagan Bros, of this city,
made charges against Gregory from self
ish motives. However that may be. it
is evident that the complaints of the In
dians would have been unheeded had
not white men taken the matter in hand.
Furthermore, the Callagans are not the
only ones who are sore over buying tim
Der. Some faithful Democrats were
bitten, as Gregory's friends are not all
in Democratic ranks. Many of the
favors were bestowed without thought
of politics, and as consequence some
of the "blackest" Republicans have
walked off with the lions share. Further
investigation will bring to light many
affairs, which the interested parties
would prefer not to hear. The Superior
Lumber company, of Ashland, will also
be aired. Members of the company

PATERSON. N. j., March 14.-The
snowstorm which set in Sunday night
was the greatest ever known here. The
drifts in the streets are fifteen and
twenty feet high. The inmates of many
dwellings were completely shut in.
Hundreds of commuters who left
here for New York Mon
day morning were snowbound in
cars for two days few miles
away, and could not get either way or
communicate with their families. Hun
dreds had narrow escapes from perish
ing in the streets here Monday night.
The police rescued scores of men,
women and children who had to sleep in
station houses. Many buildings were
damaged by wind. Several persons are
reported here as missing and perhaps
are lost in the snow. There are fears of
loss Of life in the country districts. Coal
and milk are scarce and poor people are
suffering for the necessaries of life.

one of theil employees, but by some unS
accountable reason this contract was
made in the name of the Superior Lum-
ber company instead of Kennedy and
was not destroyed when new one waS
made in Kennedy'S name. All the CON-
tracts made with the Indians appear fair
upon the face and would seem to indi-
cate that the Indian got good price for
his timber, when in reality he receives
about $3.50 per 1,00o. The Indians ara
supposed to be hired to do the cutting
and hauling, but under Agent Gregory
they have not been. When the contract
enactS that the Indian Is to be paid SO
per 1000 for his logs and does the work
himself he gets that amount, but when
he is not hired the logger deductS $3.50
for his own work and pays the Indian
$3.50 per 1000 for his logs. This is what
the kick" is about, and the way in
which the contracts are drawn up, tn
appear so fair, will make the fight hot,
as these favorites will bring their COM
tracts to show that they are doing the
square thing.

HETEROGENEOUS MASS.
"Pure Refined Lard" Has Another
Airing,

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE house
committee on lard had hearing to-day.
MIR. Sinclair, of Chicago, secretary OF
the Butchers Cattle Protective associa-
ton, spoke briefly against the sale OF
what he declared to be heterogeneous
mass of cottonseed Oil, pure lard and
stearine-a vile cOmpOund-under the
name of pure or refined lard. He wanted
protection for pure lard by the branding
of all compounds, SO that people who
would not be honest at their own yO-
lition, should be compelled to be so. He
made a fierce attack upon Armour q Co.,
and contended that few millionalreS
should not be allowed to control the
food products of the country. Ihere
were the manufacturers OF shoddy
goods which they were willing to make
the people believe were pure wool. In
reply to question by Mr.. Wilson. he
said that st. Louis firm, contractors
for dead hogs, shipped white grease IN
new barrels to one of the manufacturers
of refined lard. The coarser grades OF
grease were put up in old Oil barrels,
and he thought the inference to be
drawn was that the white grease put up
in new barrels was used in the manu-
facture of refined lard. Mr.. Fox in
quired if witness knew that refned
lard was a ''vile compound" and re-
ceived an affirmative reply.
Mr.. Fox-Are these compounds any
worse than lard made from CUTS, from
heads not properly cleaned, from parts
of the animal with the hair on, from dis
eased hogs, and sometimes from dead
hogs?
Witness-I do not think so, if such a
compound exists.
Mr. FOX-HoW do you know that dead
hog grease is used in refined lard? !
Witness-It has been used and adj
mitted to be. [ think it was stated here
that it was used some years ago. !;
Mr.. Carruth-DO you know for fact
that hog grease goes into refined lard?
Witness-I do not state that. 1t IS
understood that it goes in, but no one.
knows.
Mr.. Carruth-Who understands it?
Witness--The general public.
Mr.. Carruth-You do not know any
thing about it?
Witness-Mr. Wilson read to the com
mittee extracts from testimony taken by
the interstate commission to the effect
that cottonseed oil was transported in
kerosene tanks.
Mr.. Fox said that he would at the
proper time bring in testimony to show
that the oil used in refined lard was not
so transported. Adjourned.

NEW YOKK, March 14.-RepOrts from

fearful story of the loss of life. From
almost every village there come re-

Great storm has been made to-day.
Large gangs of labOrers were at

teries of traffic and the streets
in which are car tracks, and with
picks and shovels removed vast quanti-
Ties of ice and snow from the pave

cars began to run this afternoon, and
others will follow more rapidly. 1t

plies of fuel and provisions taken in.
Fortunately the temperature has risen,
