The shortage of wheat in Minneapolis
and the weak market for flour have
caused many of the mills to think SER

not to grind more than half of the nor

An agreement has been reached by Mime
apolis millers relating to the output of -four
for the next six weeks, or until Jan. 1. The
agreement is to grind from now until then
no more, in the aggregate, than one-half the

 tending the Suffrage.

Adopt & Constitutional Amendment Ex-
 tending the Suffrage.
 PROVIDENCE, April 5.-Contrary to what the returns up to Thursday midnight indi- cated, the Bourn amendment to the constitu- tion of the state was adopted by the people, the city of Providence giving the enormous and wholly unexpected vote of 7,673 to 3,S33 for approval, and the amendment got nearly 600 more ballots than the necessary three fifths for its adoption. The amendment gives to foreign born citizens who shall have re- sided in this state two years the same rights of suffrage, keeping tkem under the same re- strictions as the native born, and further- more provides that no citizen, native or foreign, shall vote for city councils or ex- penditure of money or any tax in city or town unless he is taxed for at least S134 of property of some sort, and a poll tax is as- sessed on everybody who is eligible to vote
 Out of a population of S5, 717 men of voting age 53, ,SO1 are native born and 3I ,9l6 are foreign born. Under the constitution before the Bourn amendment, the native born were of course entitled to all the suffrage privileges, provided they registered and paid s1 a year, except that they could not vote to expend money unless they paid taxes Of the 31 ,916 foreign born, 4,S24 were naturalized, paid taxes on real estate, and were on the same basis as native born; 3,411 were naturalized, but could not vote at all because they owned no real estate, and the rest, 23,6S1, are aliens not naturalized, and who could not vote anyway. Only 3, All foreign born citizens out of some 32, ,OOO will be immediately benefited by the amendment.

franchise from the legislature and aldermen, winch invariably was vetoed by the mayors then In office The Broadway franchise of lo52, procured from that board of aldermen known as the "Forty Thieves,n hung in the courts for years. Its validity was never affirmed In 1853 the court of appeals made the injunction against the franchise of 1852 perpetual. An effort to procure a new char ter ln 1866 was defeated. Other attempts in the same direction were vetoed by Governors Cornell and Cleveland At last bill was adopted i'll 1884 and signed by the governor. This bill transferred Sharp's struggle for the coveted franchise from Albany to this city.
 Sharp approached the now notorious board of "boodle' aldermen in 1884, In May of that year eight members held caucus and agreed, for a heavy consideration, to grant the franchise and to find thirteen members to override the mayors veto. The franchise was passed according to agreement. On June 19, 1885, Jacob Sharp rode down Broad way to the Battery on the first car. Then there arose public outcry. Rumors of cor ruption were rife and a lease of the Broad. way line to the Seventh Avenue railroad for 999 years percipitated legal inquiry.
 An investigation committee, with MT. H. R. Loves as chairman, was appointed by the legislature. Sharp and others were hauled over the coals and the result was most damaging report against the conspirators by the committee.
 The famous trial for bribery, Sharps con- viction and sentence to four years imprison- ment by Judge Barrett and the legal contest which resulted in stay of proceedings, are matters of such recent occurrence as to need no mention at this time.

 FARIBAULT, Minn-, April 6-At 3:So Wednesday afternoon this city was visited by a wind and hail storm Roofs were torn off stone buildings, signs were blown hither and thither like straws, and dry goods boxes and empty barrels were sent flying like paper balls. The first roof to go was that of Mrs Henrick's stone building. Others quickly followed, among them being that of Voltz Brothers stone building, the three story Union block, and the east portion of the roof of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The roof was also blown off the depot. A scuttle from one of the buildings struck man on the head, inficting serious and perhaps fatal injuries This is the only casualty so far as is known. The plate glass front in the Union block and R. J. Gleb's shoe store were blown out into the street. The new high school and the new rattan works buildings were also damaged, but to what extent could not be learned Many telegraph and telephone poles were broken off. It is estimated that the total loss will be S100, 900, and possibly more.

WIRE PULLING METHODISTS.
Governor Lounsbury Wants to Go to u
 General Conference.

Governor Lounsbury Wants to Go to the
 General Conference.
 MIDDLETowN, Conn, April 6.-At the second days session of the New York East M E. conference yesterday there was a great deal of wire pulling over the candi- dates for delegates to the General confer ence, who are to be elected to morrow. 1t has leaked out that the occasion of Cover nor Lounsbury's presence and gracious smile in the conference is that he may se- cure the election as one of the lay dele gates to the general conference. In ac- cordance with custom, one of the two will be chosen from the Brooklyn and New York districts, while the other will fall to the New York East and New Haven dis tricts It is foregone conclusion that Judge Reynolds of Brooklyn, who has been the choice of the southern dlstil t ever since the inauguration of the system of Lay deleates in 1872, will have no barrier to an election for he is favored by the dele gate of every leading church in Brooklyn. Governor Lounsbury is feathering his nest for reelection to his present office, and hopes by this procedure to get the church people on his side. But he has a strong competitor in John H. Sessions, manu- facturer, of Bristol, and prominent Metho- dist, who belongs to the same political party as Lounsbury. MT Sessions came near being elected delegate to the last gen eral conference. There will be five, and perhaps six, ministerial delegates There is but little opposition to Dr Buckley, Dr Pullman, and the Rev Secretary Goodsell. Dr Peck, Presiding Elder Simmons, and Dr Main are talked of.
 The Rev. Dr. Boole and the prohibition alliance, which is an organized faction with principles savoring strongly of a third party, will take this opportunity to push their own cause. The temperance Subject is set down for next week, but Dr. Bull says he is going to submit the resolu- tion before the election of general confer ence delegates. If the alliance supports certain doubtful candidates of the oppo- site faction, which is made up largely of republicans, the third party men hope to get their resolution through. The resolu- tion says that the sixty signers will use their influence under all circumstances to secure the repeal of all laws licensing the liquor traffic, and to secure the prohibit tion of the same; also to stand firmly on the principles of the resolution of the last general conference, to wit: "Uncompro- mising hostility to the liquor traffic and tc all the laws that propose by licensing, tax ing, or otherwise, to regulate it." A heat ed discussion is predicted over this med ley of motives.

THE CHICAGO STRIKERS.

A Rumor That the Burlington Men Will
 Go Back to Work.
 CHICAGO, April 6-There is rumor cur rent that the Burlington company and it's striking engineers and fremen have reached a mutually satisfactory settlement, and that the strike will soon be officially declared off. It is also stated that the company will rein state all its old engineers and fremen as rapidly as possible. General Passenger Agent Morton was asked about the truthfulness of this rumor, but he claimed to be entirely ignorant of any settlement of the strike. "Of course," said MT. Morton, ''shere are a great many of our old men that we would be very glad to take back. We could probably give about 300 of them positions to-day, but we must take care of the men who came to our assistance when the men struck" MT. Nor ton admitted, however, that no order had been issued by the company which precluded the striking engineers and fremen from being re-employed in case they desired to come back.
 Chairman Hoge, of the strikers commit tee, was asked about the truthfulness of the report that the men were all to surrender and be reinstated. 'sI wish with all my heart," said he, ''that it was true That would settle the whole matter at once, and there would be nothing further to fight about"
 Chief Sargent, of the Firemen's organiza- tion, smiled knowingly, and jocularly re- marked "Come see me on Monday, and then, perhaps we will all know more about it. Unless some satisfactory arrangement is made the men will stay out a year, if necessary, and they may have to do that yet; but am hopeful that the whole strike question will be amicably settled within a very short time"
 A number of striking engineers congre- gated at headquarters stated that they were perfectly willing to go back to work, and they believed that the whole question would be settled within a week or so.

His Troubles at an End.
JACOB SHARP'S LAST HOURS SPENT
 AT HIS HOME.

The Prison Yawned for Him in Vain-Hs
 succumbs to a Complication of Diseases.
 Sketch of a Life History That Reada
 Like a Romance.
 NEW YORK, April 6.-Jacob Sharp died at his residence, 357 West Twenty y-third street, last night, at 9:20 o'clock. All of his family were at his bedside, except Mrs. Sharp who was prostrated by grief and lay in back room.
 At 3 o'clock yesterday morning Sharp dis played such signs of feebleness that carriage was dispatched to the residence of Dr. Loomis, at 5S East Thirty-fourth street. When he ar rived Sharp was in comatose state and showed scarcely any signs of animation. Brandy was given him, and every means known to medicine used to revive him..
 Dr. Loomis called again at 9 o'clock in the morning. Sharp was delirious. The doctor worked with him and succeeded in getting him into a quieter state of mind. He did not seem to know his wife and daughters. Pro- lessor Alfred Loomis, M. D., the father of Dr. Loomis, was summoned at noon by a messenger. He saw immediately that medi- cal skill was unavailing.
 Sharp alternated between unconsciousness and delirium all day long. There were lucid intervals when he could recognize and speak to his wife and children. These intervals of intelligence varied from few minutes to a half hour. In his delirious periods he raved about his lawyers, Bourke Cochran and ex- Judge Fullerton, and his coming trial.
 He seemed to realize that he was in dying condition. He was fully possessed with the idea that the second trial would be a com

Large Tenement House Twice Fired
 This Morning.

NEW YORK, April 6.-What seems like a dastardly attempt to burn large tene- ment house on Delancey street, was frus- trated by a policeman early this morning: He discovered a blaze in the cellar and had hardly extinguished it when his attention was called to another fire in room above, which he also put out before serious injury was done. Gerson Zygus Pole, who rented Loth rooms, was arrested as his hands were covered with varnish, which was also scattered over the floor There is little doubt but that he had start ed both fires. He was heavily insured. Had the fire spread throughout the house terrible loss of life could hardly have been aYerted
