showed up a great deal stronger than
the Outfield. Quest, Shafer and Pickett
all did pretty work in their positions.
Shafer's error, wild throw, was made
after he had succeeded in stopping
hard hit of Reilly's. Jack
O'Connor, Cincinnati's young blood
catcher, made his first appearance
this year, and he was not a bowling
success. He dropped small measure
of balls, threw wildly few times, mutfed
couple of third strikes and fly. With
these trifling exceptions he did quite
well. The pitchers were really the
kings of the game, and Elmer
Smith did as fine work in striking
out men as the opposing twirl-
ers combined. In the second inning
Duryea famed out all the Reds, and
Anderson did the same thing in the
sixth. Smith made the same sort of a
record in the eighth. The Reds took to
Duryea in familiar way in the first,
and earned three runs on base on balls,

Not a Republican Victory.

Special to the Globe.
ST. CLOUD. April 4.-The telegram
from this place in yesterdays paper
stating that the election on Monday sre-
suited in a Republican victory" was
false. Both candidates for mayor ran
independent. No nominations were
made by either party. Col. Westerman,
independent Republican, was supported
by 95 per cent of the German Demo-
Gratis. Every saloonkeeper in the city
was in his favor. Capt. Wright, an in
dependent Democrat, announced him
self Saturday, and many firm and lead
ing Republicans worked openly for him
all day. There were no politics in the
contest, but there was strong belief
that it was struggle for or against
more liberal policy towards the saloons,
and Westerman was elected. The only
other contest was upon city treasurer,
to which Democrat was elected.

THE HOUSE.
Members Amusing Themselves
With an AIl-Night Session.

WITH an All-NlSnC SeSSlOH.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-After the
reading of the journal, an effort was
made by the friends of the spe
cial order-the direct tax bill
to make an arrangement by which
a final vote upon the measure
would be ensured to-day at 5 o'clock,
but Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, OBJ
jected to the proposition. E. b. Taylor,
of Ohio, thereupon moved to limit gen
eral debate to one hour. The opponents
of the bill then resorted to filibuStering
tactics.
At 1890 O'clock the situation was un-
changed, except that there has been a
general falling off in the number of
members responding to their names
upon the roll call. The advocates of
the direct tax bill feel that if they per-
NIT an adjournment the chances for
the passage of the measure at the pres
ent session of congress are very small;
while its opponents, being of the same
opinion, are putting forward every eff
fort to secure an adjournment. 1t is
possible, however, that toward l or 2
O'Clock WEAKNESS will weaken the de-
termination of both advocate and Oppo-
nents, and that some compromise will
be effected.
Midnight-During the past hour eff
forts have been privately made to effect
compromise. The proposition was
that recess should be taken until
II O'Clock tomorrow, and that the
previous question should be con-
sidered as ordered on the bill at
o'clock. A hitch occurred in the ar
rangement, however, and the PROPOSE
ton will not be submitted for the
present.
a. m.-Nothing has been accom-
plished up to to this hour. Even the
spirit of fun, which usually character
ICES night sessions, is wanting. The
situation is unchanged.

LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
The Brown Family Poisoning Case
Grows Interesting.

Grows Interesting.
Special to the Globe.
MASON CITY, To-, April 4.-SlOwly
yet certainly the mysteries connected
with the Brown family poisoning affair
are being cleared away. Over four
weeks have elapsed and during this
time the coroner has devoted his atten-
ton to the investigation. Suspicion
founded solely upon circumstantial evil
dence has grown so strong in the minds
of both coroner and people that the
former yesterday empaneled jury to
act at post mortem examination.
Hiram E. Brown, .the son of the de-
ceased, shortly after he was taken
sick said that if he ever re-
covered he would do all in
his power to ferret out the
causes of the sickness and deaths in his
family. Several days ago he published
thorough investigation as soon as he
was able, and yet when the coroner
notified him that circumstances were
such as to demand investigation, he
entered vigorous protest and declared
that he would not allow the body of his
father to be exhumed. When he was
sick he told friend that he would al
low no poison in the house, and the day
following he told Mrs. Browns father
that there was rat poison in the house
and told him where he could find it.
Such, to say the least, ,injudicious actions
on the part of Mr.. Brown has again
made this trouble the all absorbing topic
of conversation. Without regarding the
sons demand the body of the father
was exhumed and Drs. Wright and
of the intestines for chemical analysis.
The stomach contained only about six
ounces of fluid matter, and gave ap-
pearances that some kind of poison had
affected it. DR.. Wright leaves tomorrow
for Chicago, taking the stomach with
him. 1t is to be analyzed by the chem
lists In the Chicago medical college.
Meanwhile the public anxiously awaits
developments.

How to Get Out of an Election

Middle.
Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, Dak., April 4.-Our city
government is in something of mud
die. On Saturday, the oath ult., the
question of organizing under the gen.
eral law was submitted to the voters
and carried. The old charter, under
which the city has been governed for
six years, being abrogated by the result.
The general law, by virtue of which we
have since had a municipal existence,
provided that the annual election shall
take place on the first Monday in April,
but whether this provision was over
looked by the authorities, or whether
the general interest in, and hustle at
tendant on the G. AR. meeting last week
caused it to be forgotten, no election
was called OF held on Monday. An
election had been called for Tuesday
under the authority of the old law, but
it was generally believed that that
document was no longer of any force,
and after consultation the idea of hold
ing an election of that was abandoned.
1t is now proposed to elect officers under
a doubtful provision of the new law
providing for special elections on the
18th.

WINNIPEG, Man., April 4.-Messrs.
Greenway and Martin returned to this
city this morning, after a somewhat
prolonged absence at Ottawa. Their
lines have fallen unto them in pleasant
places, and as they are bearers of good
news they were recipients of public ap-
plause. Had their mission been fruit
less one their reception, no matter how
earnest their efforts might have been,
would doubtless have been different.
Thousands of people met them on the
arrival of the train from St. Paul. 1t is
cause for congratulation that the long
pending dispute between the Ottawa
and Manitobian governments has been
settled at last. Settlement comes in
time to restore confidence and to pre-
vent a large exodus from Manitoba
across the international boundary.

tended search warrant, the marshal yes
terday invaded Bragge's place of busi-

but no evidence of any violation of the

was discharged. Ii the local option law
is to be made an engine of such open

sealed its own speedy doom in these

some extent back in the rural districts
with indifferent success, but people
here did not agree to surrender all their
rights when they voted for prohibition.

Villas Asks Authority to Revoke
the Withdrawal of Certain
Z Lands.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The secre-
tary of the interior to-day sent to the
president a letter asking that he recon-
mend to congress the passage of a bill
conferring upon the secretary of the
interior authority to revoke the with
drawals of certain lands in the in
demnity limits of number of Western
railroads and restore the land to the
public domain. The roads affected are:
The st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba;
st. Paul, Saltwater q Taylor's Falls;
saltwater & ST. Paul; st. Paul & North
ern Pacific; Minnesota Central; Wi
mona & st. Peter and the Southern Min
nesota Sioux City & st. Paul, the Chi
cagO, Milwaukee q st. Paul; Cedar
Rapids IL Missouri; Southern Mime
sofa & Dakota, and possibly the st.
Paul & Sioux City Railroad companies.
These railroads were not included
in the list of railroads subject to
the order of Secretarn Lamar last sum-
mer, as he doubted the authority of the
secretary of the interior in the premises.
In this doubt Secretary Villas c0ncurs
and asks legislative action by congress
that will confer authority upon the sec
retary of the interior. A bill incOrpOr-
ating the views of the secretary accom-
panies the letter and will be transmitted
to congress by the president.

THE MISSOURI FLOOD.
Considerable Damage Done, But
the Worst Over.

Special to the Globe.
SIOUX CITY, To-, April 4.-When the
water broke throught the slough at Elk
Point Saturday night and flowed into
the Big Sioux and thence in the Mis-
souri, again nearly twenty miles below,
leaving the big gorge between Elk Point
and Sioux City intact, it was evident
that another rush of water must come
when this great mass of ice, fully fifteen
miles in extent, broke. The break came
risen at Sioux City fully nine feet in
three hours. The current set in toward
the Iowa shore, cutting badly at Gumbo
Point, and soon several valuable lots
had been swallowed up. The houses
had been removed from this section last
summer when the river cut so bad, so
the only damage was to lot owners and
the flooding of numerous cellars. The
water did not stay at the highest point
long, and has been gradually falling all
day, being fully five feet below the
highest point this evening. The de-
struction about Elk Point has not been
oVerdrawn, and
DAMAGE TO STOCK AND FARMS
in that section will be heavy, In addi-
ton to the damage to the Milwaukee
& st. Paul tracks, the country for dis
tance of five miles west of Elk Point
is covered from three to five feet, and
the residents in great many cases
driven to the second stories of their
houses. At Elk Point the water came
up to Flannery's hotel, from the west,
and to Ed Ringsrud's from the east,
leaving about two blocks of the main
street not covered with water. The
court house is surrounded by water. AS
to the destruction of property, the
amount cannot now be aScertained.
Gaining experience, however, from the
floods of 1881 and 1888. good many had
built RATS and placed their cattle on
them and they themselves in rudely
constructed boats. The chief low lands
are.
ALL IN BAD SHAPE.
The big Sioux has already fallen two
and a-half feet. This morning a gang
of telegraphers were sent out to repair
the poles. There is some ice yet in the
river on the sand bar at the mouth of
big Sioux. The Big Muddy roared all
night around the piers of the new
waukee bridge over the Big Sioux still
stands, but is badly twisted. Between
two and three miles of railroad is gone,
and about four miles badly washed, so
that it will be some time before com
munication is established again. The
breaking Of the gorge relieved the
country around Jackson, as the flood
had covered hundreds of acres, and the
water ran out in short time. Farmers
can now move back in safety.

THE SENATE.
The More Important Action OF
That Branch of Congress.


WASHINGTON, April "A bill for the
Withdrawal of public lands in Missis-
sippi from sale at ordinary private en-
try and to redistrict them for home
stead settlers was reported and placed
on the calendar. The bill granting to
the Billings, Clarks Fork & Cook City
railroad the right of way through the
Crow Indian reservation was taken from
the calendar for consideration. A pro-
vision was inserted that no part of the
route should touch the Yellowstone
Park, and the bill was passed: yeas 80,
nays Is. The senate then resumed con-
sideration of the house bill to provide
for the purchase of United States bonds
by the secretary of the treasury, the
pending question being on Mr.. Beck'S
amendment. Mr.. Teller criticised the
statement of Mr.. Mcpherson yesterday
and the day before, in regard to silver,
as to the country being within sixty days
Gf the amendment should become law
on silver basis, with gold at
premium. The silver question, he
said, did not cut any particular
figure in the pending bill. The amount
of silver that would be coined under the
Beck amendment, would be insignlfi-
cant and could have little or no intiu-
ence on the value of silver. But it
would tell the world that the great sill
ver-prOducing country of the world was
satisfied that it did not make a mistake
when it partially remonetized silver,
and that step by step it proposed to go
until there was complete recognition
of silver as money metal, in all re-
spects with gold. The question being
on Mr.. Beck's amendment, Mr.. Allison
desired to offer an amendment to it to
extend the time from thirty days to sixty
days, but was informed by the presiding
officer that Mr.. Beck's amendment was
one in the second degree, being an
amendment to the substitute, The
question was taken on Mr.. Beck's
amendment. and it was agreed to.
