. that part of the Sackett & Virgins
muddle will be cleared up. There still
remains the lease of the Hennepin

hbut it is doubtful whether the
lease will be in condition to
sell. Judge Young has ordered a sale
of the theater to satisfy mechanics

clearing up process there. What effect
sale will have on the lease and the
prepaid rent remains for the court to
determine. The speculative theater

wood.
The committee of the supervisors of
the poor appointed to investigate the
alleged shortage in wood furnished the
city poor by Contractor Norton. met
yesterday afternoon. A stenographer
was procured and the taking of testi-
mony was begun under oath
administered by City Clerk Corn
man. Mr.. Owre, the clerk of
the board, stated that forty-six cords of
sawed wood had been delivered, and
the balance of the 106 cords was full
length wood. Aid. Gibson stated that
from his observation he did not consider
Contractor Norton entitled to the con-
fidence of the board. and that his deliv-
cry of wood to the suffering
P sv of c tine city had been d
the wood had been purchased by the
the board. He did not consider it in
cumbent upon him to measure the wood
over again. A. r. Reeve testified that
the wood had been so loosely piled that
it would fall short about four
cords in twenty. Aid. Kerr
stated that he had, with Aid. Gleason,
measured the wood and believed
the city had received all it was entitled
to. Aid. Gleason later Oh substantiated
this. Aid. Garvey claimed that the
wood had been improperly piled, and
inSinuated that the other aldermen had
not appeared anxious to have the wood
properly measured. This was resented
by Aid. Kerr, who said they had waited
an hour and half for Aid. Garvey to go
with them and see the wood measured,
but as he did not come they measured it
themselves.
Mrs. Charles Mccarthy, Mrs. Thomas
Mulvahill, Mrs. Hamlin and Mrs. Hur-
ley, who received wood from the city
delivered by the contractor, testified to
shortages. Supt. Curtiss swore to hay
ing seen a teamSter load city wood on
one of Norton's wagons to be delivered
to customer. ReardOn, the teamSter,
testified that this was done under a
mistake, and the wood was returned.
Adjournment was taken, and the COM
mittee will make up report to be made
at special meeting of the board Mon
day afternoon. The investigation was
a decidedly tame affair, considering the
animated send off it received at
Wednesdays special meeting.

This is genuine study and elevates the
play in artistic quality.
This afternoon and evening occur the
last two performances of "Trip Van

Kohl and Middleton Talk---The
Leases Are Good.


To-day the district court will be ap-
piled to for the confirmation of the re-
ceiver's sale made under Judge Hicks
order AS soon as this is done the mu-
seums will be thrown open to the pub
lie. j. E. Purnell, of Chicago, attorney
for Messrs. Kohl & Middleton, said
last evening concerning the claim of
j. z. Smith to the lease of the ST. Paul
museum, that Mr.. Smith had been
clearly acting as the agent of E. w.
Virgins. who had been restrained
from any interference by order of the
court. If he had paid $4,000 for rent he
simply placed himself in the position
of creditor. Further. that the own
ers of the building had announced their
entire willingness to accept as lessees
whoever purchased the museums at the
receivers sale.

The Lien Law NOT Tested.

There has been considerable discus
sion among the attorneys as to the
validity of the Lucas lien law. which
was passed by the last legislature. 1t
was reported that test had been made
in the matter of the liens against the
Hennepin Avenue Theater COM
pany and the law sustain
ed, but this is mistake.
The matter was settled without bring
ing up the validity of this law, as the
incumbrance Oh this property of a mort
gage of $50. 600 was made for the express
purpose of paying these claims, ana
could not therefore be supposed TO stand
i'll tue way of paying them.

ENaLAND's DILEMMA.

The rumor that Stanley is captive
of the Mahdi in the Soudan has given
that wild half desert, Arab infested
territory temporary interest, and
the English people are anxiously IN
curing of their government what its
future policy will be toward the Sou
danese, who are nominally subject to
Egypt, but in reality entirely free
from Egyptian domination except in
Suakim. THIS is Soudan's chief city,
and is capable of a no less satisfactory
revenge upon England than the kill
ing OF Stanley If she continue to
maintain by force of arms that the
Soudan is a dependency of Egypt.
Hagland, with the control of Egypt,
would like her to hold Soudan, SIM
ply because ESuakim commands the
entrance to the Red Sea and Eng
land can hardly afford to give up SO
important strategic point. The
British Government is therefore in
an uncomfortable position, If it
gives up Suakim, it will lose a val
liable, almost indispensable, naval
station. Fit holds the city, it will
be Mt the cost of the life of one of the
greatest explorers the world has ever
known.
