Minneapolis to Have a Twenty-elght-Story
Building.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 27.-Ar-
chitect L.. S: Burlington, of this city, has
secured a large number Of patents, both
in this country and Europe, on an inven-
tton wbic5S he thinks will revolutionize
the world of building. The patents
all parts of a system of building
known as Buffington's Patent Iron
Building Construction. BY it buildings
can be constructed OF any desired
height. The building will be en-
tirely of iron, starting from a founda-
ton IKE the base of q bridge pier,
diminishing in size as they ascend
They ere to be braced %diagonally by iron
lattice girders with horizontal iron beams.
The covering is also to be of iron, and
outside of this may be ornamental sheath
Ing of stone, terra Gotta or anything else.
MI. Burlington has subjected the plan to
practical engineers, and no flaws can be
found. A syndicate of capitalists is back
ing his system, and will erect in this city
a building eighty feet square by three
hundred feet, or twenty-eight stories
high. Architect Burlington says
III q bridge can be built out 700 or 500
feet into q space from a pier, what is to
hinder us going az high as we choose in
q ~building2 The syndicate which is back
ing me includes some of the best men of
the city, who control plenty of capital,
and as soon as a few details are settled
we shall publish our plans.

Postage Eranda.

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The atten-
ton of the postmaster general has been
called to the statements made regarding
q fraud practiced upon the government
MAILS through the Canadian treaty, and
he has taken action upon 1t. It has been
a practice with a very large number of
merchants and others, to ship goods to
Canada to be mailed there, addressed to
persons in this country, with a view to
evading the higher rates of postage ap-
plicable to goods shipped in the domestic
mails of the United States. The post
master general says that the forwarding
of such packages from Canada being an
aobyicus error'' under the articles of the
postal convention in force between Com
ada and the United States, that postmas-
tiers shall rate up such packages sent from
Canada at the postage they would have
to payi If they were mailed in this country.

By The committee the matter was re-
ferTed to Adjt. Gen. Drum, who proceeds
to sit down on the parsons in the follow
ing report:
1.-THE present status of chaplains IS to
rank, pay, duties, etc, is defined In the
revised statutes. The material changes in
thep present law proposed by this bill are
to give chaplainss the rank and pay. (s2,-
900 per year and longevity pay of cap
tains, instead of captains of infantry
with 81, 500 per year and longevity
pay; to give them the uniform of
general staff officers; to make them mem
bers of c-ourts-martial, boards of survey,
and of the councils of administra-
ton. Regarding the increase of pay. pro-
posed, it is believed that if there is any
class of office in the army whose pay
is much out of proportion to that received
by the corresponding class in civil life,
and who are literally paid for the sew
ices which they perform, or which would
be expected of them under this bill, it is
the chaplains of the army.
"The bill prescribes uniforms for chap
lains. The uniforms of the officers have
always been prescribed by regulation and
not by law. They are made suitable for
each branch of the service, and are so
varied that, especially in time of war,
the officers of each branch of the service
a be readily distinguished from
those Of other branches. There is little
or nothing in the duties OF chaplains
which assimilate them to the staff corps,
and to give them the Uniform of the lat
ter would be not only misleading, but in
appropriate.
Touching the provision that chaplains
shall sit in courts martial, boards, ETC., it
is remarked that neither their calling,
their professional training and acquire
ments, nor the exercise of the functions
of their office can hardly be regarded as
qualifying them for courts martial, nor
indeed for any purely military Duty
The committee on military affairs ac-
cepted this report as conclusive, and
agreed to let the chapIains alone.

LoR eoscHENs BUDGET.

Separating Imperial and Local Taxation
Tho Unionists - Boulanger Retirsd--A
French Ironclad Fires on an italian
yessel-The Kaiser's Health.
LONDON, March 27.--The budget which
was submitted to the house Of commons
by Mr.. Goschen, chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, Monday evening, possesses more
novel features, and created a greater SEN
~sation, than any similar presentation for
many years. In the expectation of some
thing of this character, thousands of per.
CONS vainly tried to gain admission to the
galleries long before the speaker took his
seat, blu the space allotted to strangers
was already crowded to its full capacity.
Minister Phelps and several other promi-
nent Americans were present.
The budget separates the imperial
from the local taxation, but the name
of h division is not yet made clear.
New taxes are imposed upon all street
vehicles, except those used in the pur-
suit of ~husbandry, and hackney coaches.
The tax on the latter named vehicle liz,
however, rearranged to the end of lessen
Ing the rate of taxation. Pleasure and
racing horses, horse dealers, choice wines,
and champagnes are included in the list
Of increase, the latter paying five shil-
hngs a dozen. New companies are taxed
Mt the rate of one pound per thousand of
capital stock, and brokers and collectors
| pay sixpence on the the pound instead of
a penny, as formerly. The budget also
RENTS a penny Of the income tax, relieves
all taxes from street hawkers,
and lowers the rate of taxation
upon land yielding aprofitless husbandry.
The revenue OF Suez canal shares is to be
DEVOTED to the construction of new forth
~fications. The increased penalty imposed
| upon brokers' contracts and new compa-
nies, will be certain to cause disturbance
in financial circles, while it is doubtful
whether the remittance of the taxes
hitherto paid by the street hawkers,
which was designed to catch the proleta-
riat, will result as favorable to the gov
ernment's total vote at the next cleo
ton as the minister is led TO hope. The
proposal to SAY champagne five shillings
a dozen, was kept very quiet. and only
leaked out in the afternoon through the
misplaced confidence of the ministry in
or two garrulous Tory members.

JACKSON, Mich, March 27.-JohnB Blair
and Tom Maggie were going home at night
on West avenue, when a door Of a house
suddenly opened and pillarof fire rushed
out towards them. The pillar was shrek
ing, end it did not take them long to re-
alize that a woman was burning up be-
fore their eyes. They threw of their
listers, put them around the woman, and
extinguished the fire, receiving some
burns themselves. Then they carried
her into the house, and one went for a
doctor. The victim proved to be a young
lady named Kittie Walker, aged twenty.
She was working nea a stove when her
dress caught fire. She tried to get Off
the garment, and failing, ran into the
street. Her clothing was almost entirely
burned of. Her arms, legs and abdomen
were frightfully burned, and she is in a
critical condition.

DULUTH, Mimi, March 2I--Duluth,

are experiencing another severe storm,
with the snowfall over a foot and a half,
and drifting badly. But one railroad
the st. Paul g. Duluth-managed to get
trains through, all the others being from
fifteen to thirty hours late, except the
Iron Range, which was delayed sew
eral hours. The storm set in
at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and
increased In violence until 6 in the
evening, when it suddenly ceased, only
to start up again under a fierce wind at
1890. Street cars ran with extreme diff
ficnlty, with double relays of mules.
Work at the iron furnaces, ship yards,
new docks, and many buildings was
stopped all day. Snow cuts on all the
railroads are in bad shape, and large
crews of men and many snow-plows are
at work making a passage for trains.
The weather is warm, but very uncom.

PRICKING a BIG BUBBLE.
THE FATHER OF MISS FELLOWS ON
SWIFT BIRD MATRIMoNY.

Tho Greater Portion OF the Story of tho
said 10 he a Correspondents Fake
No Big Brothers.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Chaska-
Fellows romance, which. comes all the
way from Pierre, Oak, with it's latest
lurid details, lis universally discredited
here. The last date which the Pierre
rornancer flxed for the marriage was
March 10. but in explanation of that
mistake it appears he announced that the
ceremony was postponed to give Mr.. Eel
lows, the father Of the prospective bride,
an opportunity to be present. According
to h sensational dispatches now re-
ceiyed, Mr.. Fellows had arrived with two
sons, and the arrangements of the we'd
ding, which was to take place Saturday,
are given with graphic and minute detail.
The bride had issued invitations, which
had been delivered by the bridegroom to
the ranchmen and cowboys for miles
around, and they, with q thousand paint
ed braves, were to be present at the
grand ball, which was to be given in
honor of the event. At the end OF the
dispatch the prediction is made that the
two brothers will shoot Chaska on sight,
and that trouble is feared if Miss Eel
lows Insists upon the marriage.
This story is elaborated considerably,
aud is given all the semblance of truth
by it's positive statements. What gives
them the stamp of frontier fiction of q
very suspicious sort, is the fact that Col.
Fellows, h father of the girl, is still in
this city piacidiy attending to his duty as
q clerk in the war department.. He pro-
nounce the dispatches concerning his
daughter false upon their face.
In b first place Iamnot in Dakota,n
said he's "Irssehe second place I have no
son, and consequently Miss Fellows, my
daughter, eau not have two brothers with
her, armed to the teeth, prepared to stop
the wedding ceremony. Again, no white
man is allowed IN the Indian reserya-
ton, which is several hundred miles In
extent, and, therefore, no ranchmen or
cowboys coEld have been invited. Last
ly, 1t fs utterly impossible for. any human
being to get news from Swift Birds
camp to Pierre, owing to the condition Of
the Missouri river, which is filed with
floating ice.n
The Inst letter which Mr.. Fellows has
received from his daughter was dated
four days before the first publication Of
The story Of her marriage. The letter is
9 simple recital of the daily events of her
life, with a little gossip concerning the
happenings in the camp. No mention lis
made OF Uhaska, nor is there the slightest
evidence Off an approaching marriage.
She predicts g speedy breaking up Of the
river, and a consequent interruption OF
the mails.
The only time the name of Chaska has
been mentioned by Miss Fellows is in q
letter 70 n friaaaAia this city III which hiiehn
she mentioned him as having been very
! TO her. His most tender attention,
however, was. picking burrs out of her
pOnvts INF.
