NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The Republican
managers here are disgruntled tonight.
They are completely broken up over
the tariff bill reported to the senate.
Each one is accusing the other OF du-
plicity, and every one is calling the
other man ''another one." Quay hoped
up to the last moment that no bill would
be reported. He had carried down 10
Washington three times the dictum OF
the bosses in this city that no Dill
should be reported. He was told
that they knew in Washing
ton as much about running the
Republican machine as the men dld ID
New York. Still he was persistent. UP
to week ago he believed he could win.
He knew that much Doodle depended
upon it, The monopolist managers ha-
told him that they would not put up
cent until they knew they were going
to be protected. He said he would guar
antee this and promised that the senate
bill would be reported. On this prom
ise it is stated some OF them ad-
vanced a small proportion OF their
assessments. But Quay having failed
to keep his bargain, they are all KICK
ing, and especially the manufacturers
of steel blooms. 1t turns out now thai
the
MAN WHO DEFEATED QUAY
and secured the report of the bill was
Senator Frank HiScock, of this state.
He made an address before the finance
committee of the senate, IN
licans of New York state demanded
that the bill should be reported. Sew
eral days ago, when questioned upon
his statement, and as to who the Re
pubIicans were, he named only Ex-
Senator Platt. Platt, when questioned,
said nd had done nothing of the kind.
This is the reason why each one is call
ing the other one "anOther." 1t is ,es-
timated here that the senate report OF
the tariff bill has cost the Republicans
of this city at least 5000 votes.
They frankly admit that there
is no hope after the tariff
report of their carrying West Virginia:
The situation was thoroughly discussed
to-day in the meeting of the Republican
committee. The result of that discus
sion was apparent in the HOFFMAN
house tonight, when two officers OF the
committee were present to bet. Their
bets were promptly taken and more OF
their money was asked for, but was not
forthcoming. In other words, the Re-
publican betting is simply bluff to tide
over this discontinue.

plans called for an amount of capital,
the mere naming of which staggered
my hearers. l spoke of tens of mill
ions of dollars. The money was pro-
vided by me. / feel able to further de-
velOp the Northern Pacific territory and

For another reason l am glad to
be permitted to address you,
l owe you debt of gratitude which l
have never been able to discharge. You
gave me hearty reception when flrst
appeared among you, perfect stranger
in 1882. You nOnOred me by more
than royal reception at the opening Gel
ebration in 1888, but more than all, you
gave me your sympathy in the hour OF
my trials. l think / have done
something in the past for the prosperity
of this community, and shall do more in
future, but shall always feel that am
still in your debt. i shall endeavor to
promote harmonious relations between
the Northern Pacific and your good citi-
Zens, and to continue with the best OF
my ability the work of promoting the
growth of the Twin Cities and the states
tributary to our road.
Mr., Willard closed by inviting all to
empty their glasses to the mighty city
of st. Paul. Three cheers and rOusing
tiger were then given for Mr.. Willard.
Mr.. Howe responded to the next toast,
saying that the railroads were the giant
offspring of genius and enterprise. ION

At this point, Gov. McGill having left
the room. loud calls went up for Mr..
Hill, and amid much enthusiasm the
great railroad magnate arose. His ad-
dress was devoted largely to eulOgy of
Mr.. Willard. He referred feelingly to
the sacrifice that gentleman had made
when he gave up his position as presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific road.

HE NEVER GROWS WEARY.
Gen. Harrison Addresses Several
Delegations, Including One
From Jay County.

Special to the Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. A dele
CATION of over three hundred persons
from western Michigan arrived in this
city at o'clock this morning to greet
Gen. Harrison. They came from Grand
Rapids, Muskegon, Grand Haven and
Holland, and represented very largely
the furniture manufacturing inter-
ests of Grand Rapids. The wife OF
Governor Luce, of Michigan, accom-
panied the party, and with several OF
her friends called upon Mrs: Harrison
at IL o'clock this morning. The visitors
had with them specimens of the various
industries of Michigan, nOticeably
among the articles being "a presidential
chair" made by the cabinet workers
of Grand Rapids. This chair, of elegant
finish. was presented to Gen. Harrison.
Later in the day this crowd of visitors
was increased by several hundred
from Tiffin and Seneca county, Ohio,
and 1000 from Jay county, this state.
The largest hall in the city was secured
for the reception and there at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon large audience met the
general, the applause and cheers being
frequent. For the Michigan people John
Patton, Jr., of Grand Rapids. spoke,
while j. K. Rohn, of Tiffin, made the
speech for the OhiOanS, and JesseJ. M.
Lafollette, that for the Jay county visit
Ors. In response Gen. Harrison, speak
ing to the Michigan visitors, said, in
part:
We are not content to remain wholly agri-
cnllural states in our relations to either New
England or Old England. We believe that
i'm all these great Western States there are
minerals in the soil, and energy and skill in
the brains and arms of our people, that VIII
vet so multiply and develop onr manufactur-
ing Industries as to give us nearer home
soil. And for that great surplus
which now, and always, perhaps,
we shall not consume at home, we
think New England market better than
foreign market The issue upon this great
industrial question is drawn as sharply rs
the lines were ever drawn between contend
ing armies Men are readjusting their party
relations upon this great question. The ap-
peal that is now made for the defense of our
many of those who are opposed to us upon
other questions are committing such ques-
tions to the future for settlement, while
they help us to settle now and
for an indefinite future the great question of
the preservation of our commercial inde.
pendence. The Democratic party has chal-
ienged our protected industries to fight of
extermination. The wage earners of our
country have accepted the challenge. The

turn to his Ohio and Indiana visitors.
After the speaking the usual greet
ings were personally extended by every
one in the audience to the general.

ECK's LATEST EsCAPADE.
Beauty" the Bicyclist, 1t Is
Charged, Has Abducted His

paedinpa


Charged, Has Abducted His
Wife to Stave Off Divorce Pro-
ceedings.
Thomas Eek, the bicyclist, known in
sporting circles as Beauty" Eek, has
furnished another sensation, and this
time it has somewhat serious outlook.
1t will be remembered that
some time ago Mrs. Eek, who
has been in the East, returned to her
parents home in Minneapolis and be-
gan divorce proceedings against her
treatment and adultery. Last week
Eek himself arrived in Minneapolis
and declared that he would fight
the case to the bitter end
as his wife had no cause for complaint
against him. Arrangements were all
completed to have the case tried in the
district court to-day, and on Wednesday
Eek was around town receiving
the congratulations of his friends for
coming here to fight the case. But
it now turns out that he did not intend
to fight the case. Yesterday morning
he induced Mrs. Eek to enter hack
with him. Since then neither Eek
or his wife have been seen,
ana IHe SuSplclOH is gaining
ground that Beauty has kidnapped
his wife, and has carried her to place
where she can not appear in the divorce
proceedings. When Mrs. Eck's parents
discovered that she was missing they
notified the Minneapolis police, and
during yesterday and last night
a close search was instjtu-
ted for the missing couple,
and for the hack driver who drove them
away. 1t is certain that Mrs. Eek went
with her husband unwillingly. The
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Eek was a
somewhat romantic one. When ''Beau-
ty'' first came to Minneapolis he board
ed at the home of Steve Car
Isle, brother of Mrs. Eek,
The girl was only a schoolgirl and
thought she saw in Eek hero. They
were secretly married, and when it
was found out the young lady's brother
went cunning for the gay bicyclist.
Later on reconciliation was effected
and things ran smoothly until Mrs. Eek
began divorce proceedings. The pres
ent case promises to DE a sensational
one.

MIR. WILLARD SPEAKS.
Much Enthusiasm Over th'

When Judge Flandrau arose at the
close of Mr.. Davis remarks he said he
desired to deviate somewhat from the
programme as laid out, and in a few
well chosen words proposed that the
health of Henry Willard be drank stand
ing. This was done, and then loud
cries of Willard" "Villard" went up
from every quarter. In the midst of
this demonstration Mr.. Willard arose,
and when quiet was restored, said:
l feel profoundly grateful to the CON-
mittee on arrangements for having
given me the opportunity to be present
on this occasion, and proud to do honor
to my friend Mr.. Oakes. But have to
express my regret that the occasion did
not present itself to confer this honor at
an earlier date. | make bold to say
he was entitled to the promotion long
ago, and. furthermore, that if his pro-
motion depended on the good will of
the citizens of st. Paul the honor con-
ferred upon him tonight would have,
been received long ago. l was sorry
that the board of directors reached the
conclusion to make him the chief exec
utive within the last few weeks. at
the time when circumstances compelled
my retirement from the presidency
of the Northern Pacific it was my de-
liberate Judgment then that he should
be nv successor. / had no influence to
exert towards putting him there for
several years. AS soon as l regained a
proper influence in that direction l re-
sumed my efforts to place him in that
position. l believe you gentlemen are
aware that my efforts could hardly
have been successful a year ago
because it was within ten days of the
meeting of the stockholders that l was
invited to resume my seat on the board.
Mr.. Oakes, at the time, was promised
the promotion he had earned through
long and faithful service for the corpor-
alton. The promise was not kept.
determined it should be kept at the last
election and so it was. (Applause.)
Reluctantly the board of direc-
tors reached the conclusion.
| say reluctantly, though his election
was absolutely unanimous, but there
were contrary influences at work which
would have deferred his election an
other year, but it was finally thought
best for the interest of the company to
recognize the inestimable service that
Mr.. Oakes had rendered during past
wears of his great trials, and that
the chief executive should be nearer
the public, upon which the life of the
corporation depended. [Applause.l /

Mayor Hewitt RenOminated by
Gotham MupWumps

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Banker j. D.
VermiIye, Republican, presided at a
citizens meeting which crowded Cooper
Union to the doors tonight to renomi-
nate Democratic Mayor Hewitt, politi-
clans and others to the contrary not
withstanding. County Democrats were
there in numbers also. Among those on
the list of vice presidents were:
Benjamin III. Bristow, Elbridge
l.. Gerry, Charles FL. Fry,
J. Perepont Morgan, De Witt, j
Seligman, Henry CLOVIS and F. r.
Thurber. The denomination was for
mally made by Morris K. Jessup and
was seconded by James G. Carter, Gen.
Francis Barlow and Jackson S. Schultz.
This inaugurates Democratic factional
contest in this city between Mayor
Hewitt, who is thus made the citizens
candidate and who will be formally rati-
fed by the County Democratic organiZa-
ton, and candidate for mayor to be
chosen by Tammany hall. The situa-
ton bears upon the state and also upon
the national contest.

first, held at independence, failed to
name a candidate. Hon. Lewis Lichty

speaker. A telegram was read from
Mr.. Richards declining to make the
race, but committee was appointed to
urge his acceptance of the nomination,

Ii. G. Andrews, young man of thirty
years, was married to Miss Nina Kali
ger, of Leon. They went to the north
west part of the state and began house,
keeping. After four weeks they sepa-
rated, she coming to this county and he

she refused to do. This morning
Andrews went 10 her brother, Blufford

The Bishop of South Dakota
Thinks the Sioux Will Eventu-

Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, Dak., Oct. 4.-Rt. Rev.
Bishop Hare, of the South Dakota Epis-
copal mission, one of the best posted
men in the country on Indian affairs,
was seen here this morning, having
just returned from three-weeks' trip
among the Sioux on the great reserva-
ton. He expressed regret at the un-
successful efforts of the commissioners,
and attributed their failure to the fact
that the suspicious of the Indians were
aroused last winter when they were re-
fusedpermissiOn to visit Washington and
consult with congress. This suspicion
was famed by interested parties into
stubborn opposition to the measure.
Bishop Hare was present at the great
council recently held at Lower Brule,
at which 1t was resolved to send dele
cation of chiefs and agents to Washing
ton to interview the great father con-,
corning the treaty. He thinks the step
a good one and says that the effectwill
be to aliay all fears now held by the red
men. When the commissioners return
they will find the Indians ready and
willing to sign the treaty." Bishop
Hare says he is confident of the ulti-
mate success of the commissioners.
