The.Ffsheries Treaty Problem.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-There was
another caucus of the Republican sena-
tors this afternoon, occupying over two
hours. 1t was held for the purpose of
hearing statements of members of the
committee on foreign relations on the,
subject of the fisheries treaty. The
Republican senators are solidly against
the ratification of the treaty, but some
OF them are not SO we'll informed on it's
general and specific features as they de-
sire to be, especially in view of the ap-
preaching debate upon it in secret ses-
sion, and they asked for information so
that the two hours to-day were taken up
in a dissection of the treaty. The DEM
ocratic senators are in favor of discuss
ing the treaty in open session, but the
Republicans, several of whom are strong
friends of the secret session syste m,
have opposed the proposition so earn
estly that they have succeeded in carry
ing their party colleagues with them,
and the consideration Is to be behind
closed doors, and will begin some time
this week. 1t is thought the rejection
of the treaty will not be by strict party
lines, there being some Democrats who
take exceptions to the provisions of it,
but whether they will carry their Objec-
tions to the extent of casting negative
votes is a question.

FRANKS OF A CLOUD.
A Remarkable Story Told by an
Eye Witness.

Special to the Globe.
SIBLEY, To-, May 21.-A man named
Swanson, residing i'll the extreme south
east portion of Gowrie township, was
in this city to-day, and informed
GLOBE correspondent of one of the
strangest freaks of wind and clouds
that has probably ever been chronicled.
He said that about o'clock Sunday aft
ernoon, an egg-shaped cloud gradually
lowered itself eastward until about fif-
teen feet from the ground, when it began
rolling, after the fashion of ball, along
a small stream. Reaching a pasture,
the phenomenon rolled bodily into a
herd of cattle, deliberately laid hold of a
fine steer and carried him about 800
yards and let him down on the opposite
side of a barbed fence. 1t then slowly
rose upward, and, with dull report,
burst and almost instantly vanished.
He said that aside from few scatter
ing clouds the heavens were clear at
the time. The story is causing consid-
cradle excitement among the Sinsick
element, some believing the end of the
world was at hand.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Murder Will Out and Political
Tricks Follow Suit.

Just How McGill has salted and pep
pered the Fifth district with pledges
and appointments to Office will never
be fully known, but some of his trans
actions are sure to see the light of day
before this year is ended. In political
circles some interesting stories of his
deals are told at the present time. The
following one is a fair illustration OF
the rest. When the Republican state
convention of 1856 opened d. B. Searles.
of st. Cloud, now district Judge bv
McGill'S grace, stood in that convention
in a triple capacity. He was favorable
to Gilman, working for McGill and
secretly prepared to spring the name of
n. 2. Clarke Oh the convention as the
nominee for governor should dead
lock occur at any time In all
good time McGill was nominated and
Searles at once became his disbursing
agent for the campaign in the Fifth
district. When McGill was elected the
first thing done was to fix StOrdock, and
then Judges Sleeper and Brown. This
was the first sop thrown to the district,
How to recognize and reward Searles
and the element he represented though
was serious query. There was moth
ing he would really take until Judge
Berry, of the supreme bench died.
Searles came to st. Paul at once. 1t is
known that he was offered Judge
Berry's seat, but that he declined it and
named Collins as the man, asking for
himself the district judgeship. His
wishes were carried out. By virtue of
ability and other considerations Judge
Stearns ought to have gone on the SUI
preme bench, but he was easily thrown
off by fattering his ambition to go to
congress, and liberal pledges that the
McGill men would support him. That
is one story and not idle gossip either.
Searles' desire to remain in the Fifth
instead of entering the supreme court is
explained on the ground that he has
congressional aspirations hidden away
under his WaistcOat.

from it and other resolutions introduced
draft compromise platform that would
be satisfactory to the people. So far
the programme was carried out and a
platform introduced favoring tariff
for revenue only. But the protection
element in the convention had such a
majority ON their side that, despite the
protests of Meyers. they knocked re-
form out and put in protection.

A New Catholic School.

Special to the Globe.
HUDSON, Wis, May 21.-After high
mass yesterday in st. Patrick's church
injecting was called to discuss the ad-
visibility of erecting new Catholic
school. The pastor reviewed the
progress of education and religion in
the parish since the establishment of
the present school, and pointed with
commendable pride to the large number
of children who had approached the
holy table Yesterday for the first time
as the outcome of the new system. He
said that the attendance during the last
year had so increased that it was al
most impossible with the present limited
means to do any effective work. The
church was free from debt and had a
surplus. In view of all this, he said, it
was imperative upon the congregation
to set about the work Immediately,
either to enlarge the present school or
erect new one. The matter was dis
cussed at length by the congregation,
and it was unanimously decided that
act We steps should be taken towards the
ACCOMPLISHMENT of the work.

Him?-Not Wanted by New York
Politicians.
NEW YORK, May 21.-In the general
doubt of Republicans as to who will
really be their candidate, the newspaper
correspondents at the recent state con-
ventlon made extensive inquiry among
them as to their preferences after
Blaine. The New York, Brooklyn,
Albany, Buffalo and other delegations
particularly affected by New York
Central influences were very unanimous
Tor Mr. Depew. Blaine had far the
surest thing of carrying the state. He
c0ulu raise more money in the first
place than any other candidate, and he
couiu command very large part of the
nd filsn vote. After Blaine, Chauncey M.
Depew could raise the most money.
After him, then Sherman.
And Gresham? Why, he was not to be
tn0ught OF. There would not be a corpo-
ration or big capitalist in the city of New
York that would contribute to expenses.
Jay Gould, in particular would be verv
apt TO offer his subscription to the other

road magnates would shut their purses
too tightly to be opened with crowbar.
unless, like Gould, they should open
them to the hostile national committee.
The name of Gresham was, in fact. the
text for very jeremiad when suggested
to any leader in the convention. When
attention was called to the growth of
the Gresham sentiment in the West.and
1t was intimated that the West might
even ignore New York altogether in Sc
lectlng the candidate, the district leader
and and, the county boss simply smiled.
Where will they get their money?' was
their answer.
There are perhaps four men in the
convention who talked with any favor
OF Gresham. They were Ernest Crosby.
State Committeeman Witherbee. Lis.
penard Stewart and James M. Varnum.
They are counted in the party as IDEAL
lists and ''silk-stocking politicians" The
