last evening by a GLOBE reporter.
ssh ortly after our ARRIVAL remarked
hir. Is oOth,'a number of gentlemen
came around 10 show US some attention,
and invited Mr.. .Neleh to take drive
that when he came back he would agree
with me in saying that Summit avenue
was the handSomest residence street In
the world"
And thoroughly agree with you,"
SAID Mr.. Welch, for ] never was so
fayofably impressed with an avenue be-
fore. anj, for that matter, am pleased
beyond expression with the APP
pearance of the entire city. This is
my first visit to st. Paul in over twenty
years. Since my last trip the changes
have been sweeping, and totally blot
from my memory all of my earlier inn
preSSions. And then what climate!
WHY. | was surprised to see boys Skat-
ing on the river to-day, while the
weather was mild and spring-like. The
Northwest is wonderful in more ways
than one, and we must congratulate
ourselves i'll putting up buildings
which will be a credit to both st. Paul
and Minneapolis"
"a
eve have buildings in process of con-
struction at Omaha, Kansas City, Mont
real. St. Paul and Minneapolis said
Mr.. Booth. The st. Paul, Omaha and
Kansas City buildings will probably be
completed by the first of next May,
while the Minneapolis building will
hardly be ready for occupancy before
the end of another year. Our new
building here is a complete success.
This soil is rather hard one in which
to sink foundation, but at cost Of
SIS, 600 think we need have no cause
TO fear the somewhat muddy soil
Ilnon which we rest our hopes.
Two years ago, when | was up here, L
said that we would put up building
which would be credit to the city, and
| think that have kept my word. The
main problem now in the construction
of buildings is to make sufficient allow
ance for the settling of the building,
aud have it settle evenly so that no
cracks will show an unequal pressure.
Our new building has settled about two
inches, and there is not a crack in 1t.
The calculations were perfect. and all
concerned are to be congratulated upon
the progress of the work, and the beau
tiful appearance of this ornament to the
city 'Ehe boilers are rapidly being put
INTO place, and we shall plaster through
cut the winter"

Politicians from far and wide flocked
to the Merchants III aroveS yesterday
afternoon, and We'd with one another Ill
making up for lost time on Thanks
giving day. In addition to the usual
quota of Well-kn0Wn local lights, the
meeting of the state agricultural soci-
ely was magnet which drew many
within the sacred precincts OF the
M cir SaEnral Cf those who
aspire to control the wheels within the
wheels were also about the lobby, and
were making friends with more or less
success with all whose votes or influ
ence were desired. The postmaster
aud the United States senator arc the
Only officers named on joint ballot"
said Frank NJ. Reed, land l am going
TO do my best to secure the former Office.
I did not want it at first. but now that |
am in the fight propose to stay.
Col. c. II. Graves, who seems to have
tile call for the speakership of the next
house was about the lobby during the
morning, and the earlier hours Of the
afternoon. Col. Graves talked freely,
bat declined to be committed upon the
much mooted senatorial question. THE
SeuatorShip Willno doubt so TO good
inan. said he, ''hut who, of course, L
am unable to say. The senatorial con-
test frequently takes up too much time
and retardS other business. [ am
heartily in favor of reapportiOnment
of the state. There are many sections
pf the state which are entitled to more
of an appertionment than they have al
present, and justice should be done

private conversation with a party Of
