He Will Pull the Wool Over Pa

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Sher-
man was in the senate the first time
since Blaine's letter was received.
He was warmly greeted by all
of the Republican tOady sena-
tors. but Davis and Sabin did not
express any unusual warmth towards
him. Mr.. Sherman has very bad and
malodorous record on the Chinese Ques-
ton. He knows, and his party knows,
he could not carry Pacific
state, hence it is said by a
senate employe, who knows what
is going on, that Sherman is now ar
ranging dinner and reception at his
residence next Monday evening, invit-
ing only the members from California
and Oregon. This is intended to be a
conference of instruction, at which
Sherman will be so enlightened and in
formed upon Pacific coast matters that
he will Immediately change his policy
towards that section and advocate what
ever measures the Pacific coast gentle
men shall choose to advocate. Ohio
John can change his policy quick
enough when the presidential nomina-
ton is in sight.

MILLER, OAK, Feb. 1.-THE people
of this city were thrown into a tumult
OF excitement last night over the
trlumphal success of an experiment to
separate and burn gas from the artesian
well. The genius who conceived and
successfully carried out the scheme is
the city marshal, j. ID. Lawrence. His
apparatus was necessarily crude, con-
SlStlng OF an air tight barrel for a
reservoir, or gas accumulation, and from
the top OF this ran an old gas pipe with
an elbow at the top and crudely
fashioned burner at the end. 1t was
generally known by the citizens that
Lawrence had for some time insisted
there was large quantity of gas escap-
Ing with the water from this we'll, but
all were incredulous, believing it
to be simply cranky notion.
Yesterday he invited a number of
the business men to come to
the well at o'clock in the evening and
he would burn gas for them, at various
times offering to wager 500 that it
would be successful experiment.
There were no takers, and many would
not even go to see the experiment.
However, at the given time Lawrence
touched off the burner, and amid the
wild shouts of the gathered crowd,
LaWrence's experiment proved crown
Ing success. A beautiful flame about
six inches in length doomed steadily
from the burner. His apparatus was
very crude, of course, but as the well
gushes at the rate of 1000 gallons
minute, the gas properly separated
would undoubtedly be sufficient to light
up the main streets. 1t also demonstrates
there is chance for fuel in this direc-
ton.

FISHERIES TREATY.
In Its Important Features 1t Is

In Its Important Features 1t Is
Favorable to the United States.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The fisheries
treaty which was signed last evening
was the subject of much speculatian
and discussion at the capitol to-day.
While declining to give any specific in
formation as to its provisions, Secre-
tary Bayard tonight said to an AssO-
ciated Press reporter tonight that for
many years the great contentious
among American fishermen had been
for a fair and just construction of the
treaty of 1918, and that the present
treaty had been framed by the Ameri-
can negOtiatOrS with view to meet
the needs and necessities Of our fisher
men, and he believed that if the treaty
isss. ratified, that the end will
have been accomplished. From trust
worthy source it is learned that to our
fishermen are secured all the CONNER
cial privileges for which they have been
contending, with the exception of the
right to purchase bait in Canadian wa
tiers, which is expressly withheld.
Their right to enter Canadian ports for
fuel, water and repairs is conceded.
Certain bays which are specified are to
remain under the exclusive jurisdiction
of Canada. There is in nothing the pro-
.gisions of the treaty, it is said. which
'iaecessitates the removal of the duty on
Canadian fish. or in any way changes
our tariff system. 1t its important feat
ureS the treaty, it is stated, is favorable
to the United States, and while new and
valuable privileges have been acquired,
this has been done without any costly
sacrifice on our part.
Secretary Bayard stated tonight that
published reports purporting to give the
essential features of the treaty were un-
authorized and wholly wrong. The
American negotiators left for their
homes to-day. Sir Charles Upper and
Mr.. Chamberlain will remain in Wash
ington few days longer. The latter
expects to sail for England in about a
week

THEN CAME BUSINESS.
What the Men Said Who Dis
cussed the Union.

cuSSeO the Union.
The meeting then got down to busi-
ness in good earnest. Mr.. Noyes thought
the meeting would be successful if it
resulted in only one thing, viz: getting
some expression from the gentlemen
from Minneapolis Of wish for a union.
E. V. Smalley had offered resolution
THAT we favor the appointment by the
st. Paul Chamber of Commerce and the
Minneapolis Board of Trade of fifteen
members from each city" to whom were
to be referred all questions affecting the
union Of the two cities. J. w. McClung
wanted a committee composed of
seven members from each body, to be
called the dual metropolis executive
committee" and Dr.. Days resolution
was to the effect that when
we adjourn we adjourn to meet
at Minneapolis, at the rooms of
the board of trade, OH the first Monday
IN March, and that meetings be held
every month thereafter at Minneapolis
and st. Paul alternately" These reso-
'lutiOns caused some diversity of opin-
ion, and Mr.. McClung wanted them all
referred to committee to re-
port at the next meeting. Mr..
NOyeS referred ElO TIC IacJ IlldU JOlnC
commercial committee as a freight bu-
reau has already been in existence for
two years, and he was now in favor of
a committee, not composed of CONNER
cial men, to lGOk after general queS-
tiOns of unity and public policy. This
committee business OccaSioned con-
siderable discussion, rather obstinate
in its nature. Nj. Noyes favored a
committee like that proposed by Mr..
Smalley, but he did not want it COM
posed altogether of commercial men.
w. z. Murray wanted committee of
ten from each city to consider plan of
union and report at the next meeting.
ID. ID. Merrill was desirOus of referring
the question to a committee of three, to
report as soon as possible, while we
can go on with our love feast"
Gen. Bishop was in favor of
such committee to report at the next
meeting. Ii. f. Stevens desired to hear
all expression of opinion from the gen
tlemen of Minneapolis. ''There is no
hurry about this thing" he said; I'VE
have been forty years in coming to this
point" At Mr.. Noyes' suggestion that
all the resolutions be withdrawn, tenn

the crowd that there was no danger, and
some resumed their seats until the per-

nounced an opinion in the case of the
complaint by the Boston chamber of

Michigan Southern Railroad company,
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad company and the Boston d
Albany Railroad company forming a
through line. and making through rates
from Chicago and other western points
to Boston for charging higher rates on
merchandise from the West, intended

are charged on similar shipments over
the line of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern and the New York Central q
Hudson river roads to New York city,
and higher than the export rates
through Boston to foreign countries and
to points on the coast of Maine, east of
Portland, which are equal with New
York rates, and also higher than the
west-bound rates from Boston, which
are also the same as New York rates.
The commission therefore decide that
the difference between the Boston local
