NOTES.

Senator Scheffer is receiving from all
parts OF the state letters commentators
of his drunkards' bill This bill is now
before the house, and, among others,
Representatives IL. F. Stevens and Nor.
gan have assured Senator Scheffer they
will give the measure their hearty sup
port. Meanwhile, Senator Keller states
he is being overwhelmed with letter,
condemnatOry of the bill. The real
objection of these writer's to the bill is
that it does not define when a man is
drunk. Senator Ward says man may
be drunk, very drunk and gloriously
drunk. In either of these happy con-
ditionS man is liable to be hauled
away to prison.
When Senator Daniels goes over tG
the silent majority may the day be
far diStant-he will leave two small.
black, rusty pens for his children and
chlldren's children to look upon and
conJure with. They are the instru-
ments by which the governor and lieu
tenant governor gave to this state high
license law. Senator Durant is DESTROYS
OF emuiating the patriotic spirit of the
senator from OlmSted. and he will Sc
cure for himself the pens used by the
governor and lieutenant governor to
make the Scheffer drunkards' bill
law.

New Police and Fire Commission
ers Have Trouble in Taking

Charge.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 1.-THE
police and fire commissioners selected
by the legislature for Indianapolis met
this morning and filed their bonds.
They hold commissions signed by the
speaker of the house and the secretary
of the senate, the governor having de-
clined to commission them. After TAX
ling the oath of Office they started out to
demand possession of the city station
houses and fire departments, but later
changed their minds, and concluded to
seek legal advice. After consultation
with lawyers. the new board
formally organized, selecting sec
lretary and superintendent Of
police. The superintendent is
Capt. Colbert, of the present force.
Colbert appeared at police headquarters
tonight and demanded that Saperin-
ftendent Travis surrender to him control
of police officers. Travis declined, and
Colbert then read list of officers ap-
pointed by the new board, who were in
Structed to appear at the court house to-
morrow and be sworn in. The force
then dispersed, going to their posts of
duty for the night. The list of appoint
ments of the new board includes num-
Der of officers now on the force; whether
they will report, as ordered by the new
board, is doubtful. The new commits
sioners also selected new fire chief,
but for some reason failed to make a
demand for possession.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. March 1l.-One of
the boldest rObberies perpetrated since
days of Jesse James was committed at
Forbes. little town fourteen miles
this city, Saturday evening. About s
O'Clock three masked men rode up to the
general merchandise store of C. A.
Young and at once entered the store,
where about twenty persons were col
lected, discussing an attempt to break
open Mr.. Young's store which had been
made the preceding night. AS the
leader entered the door he called to the
crowd to throw up their hands. at the
same time drawing two revolyerS,
his companions doing the same. The
crowd instinctively obeyed. Then turn
ing to Charles Scott, the clerk in the
store, the leader ordered him to open
the safe. This Scott was unable to do,
as the combination had been broken by
the thieves the night before. Finding
that they could not secure the contents
of the sole, the robbers went through
the pockets of the men in the store, Sc
curing about $50, ana then emptied the
till. Then, after ordering the victims
to remain where they were for ten min
utes. under penalty of being killed, the
robbers mounted their horses and rode

RAMSEY BUSINESS.
The Local Delegation Attend to a
Big GPiSf

The Ramsey delegation held another
meeting yesterday morning or theques-
ton of rediStricting the senatorial dis
trictS of the county. No final agree
ment was reached as to the boundaries,
although it is agreed among the delega-
ton that unless something extraordi-
nary happens the boundaries to be re-
ported to the reapportionment commit
tee will be as follows:
First, Second, Third wards for the
Fir st senatorial district; Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth the Second; Seventh and
Eighth the Third; and the Ninth, Tenth
and Eleventh and the country the
Fourth.
The delegation was in session over
this all Of yesterday morning. and will
meet again to-day. The difficulty, of
course, has been how to redistrict so
as to keep Democrats out and let Re
publicanS in, thing not very easy to
do considering how unsafe basis the
vote of 1888 is to figure on. The delega-
ton concede that the Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth wards will return Democrat,
and that the prospects are not dismal
for two Democratic senators any way
that the rediStricting may be arranged.
The delegation wish it announced
that the meeting called for tonight at
which West side citizens were to he
heard on the levee question, has been
postponed, owing to the fact that the
chamber will be occupied. Due public
notice will be given of future meet
ing.

chapter of the charter of st. Paul, so
as to give the council of said city power
to vacate state or territorial roads
within the corporation upon petition of
a majority of the owners of property
abutting said road, with the recommen-
datlon that the bill do pass. By unan-
lmous vote of SO the measure was passed
under suspension of the rules.

BOLD. BUT FRUITLESS,

A New Yorker Robs Bank and
Falls Into the Clutches of the
Law.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, March 11.-One
of the boideSt bank robberies that has
occurred in this section of the state in
many years surprised the people of
Norwood, st. Lawrence county, Satur-
day. f. l.. Smith, cashier of the Nor
wood bank. was alone in the building
about noon, when Charles Phelps, the
poStoffice clerk entered and asked for
some stamps. Mr. Smith stepped into
the vault to get them, when Phelps
quietly closed the door and turned the
combination, locking the cashier in.
The robber then turned to the money
drawer and took all the paper money
that it -S27S-leaving several
hundred dollars in silver. The amount
would ordinarily have been much
larger on Saturday, but business had
been light that day, and the robbers
booty was probably not nearly as large
as he had expected ito be. Phelps had
made arrangements to have a horse
ready, and with it he started at once for
the Canadian border, about fifteen
miles distant. Meanwhile a customer
OulCIou UuG OdiIhs dilQ saw WHdl lldu
happened. He heard the cashier call
ing to him from the vault, and being
instructed as to the combination, re-
leased him. Prompt action was taken
to prevent Phelps crossing the border,
but nothing was heard of the robber
until the midnight train arrived, and he
was discovered as one of the passengers.
He had gone by circuitous route to
Brasher Falls and had taken the
train there, hoping to ride through
Norwood at night without being
detected and then go on to Ogdensburg,
where he could easilycross into Canada.
But parties on the train, who knew
him. had learned of the robbery, and
upon arriving at Norwood he was de-
livered over to officers. Only about S11
of the amount stolen was found on
Phelps person. He was kept in charge
of two officers over Sunday and was
taken to Canton Jail to-day to await the
action of the grand jury, which meets
i'll June. Phelps is young man, a
native of Norwood. He has fallen into
bad habits Of late and is said to have
become an opium eater.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 11.-Large
crowds of people gathered in the vicinity
of the municipal court this morning,
| eager to see the MOngolians who are
charged with enticing young girls into
their laundrieS and running them. A
large police force was on hand and no
violence was attempted. The prelimi-
nary examination was held this morn
ing. and nine of the victims, children
ranging in age from eight to thirteen
years, were present. The testimony
fully confirmed the awful stories

little girl said: 'The first time l went

The Chinaman told US he had nice

not been concluded at the time court
adjourned this evening. The testimony
against them, however, is of the strong
est possible character and they will un-
doubtedly be held for trial. After
smashing in the doors and windows of
number of Chinese laundries this af-
ternoon the crowd dispersed and no
further disturbance has been reported.
The feeling against the Chinese is
growing in bitterness as the enOrmity
| of their crimes is revealed by the testi-
m0ny in court.
Crowds of men and boys thronged
the streets in the vicinity of the Chinese
laundries tonight and smashed III sew
eral doors and windows before the
police could arrive and dispense them.
An unlucky Celestial fell into the
hands of the mob, and he would have
Jared badly but for the courage of one
policeman, who protected him until
assistance arrived. Late tonight the
crowds are dispensing and no more
trouble tonight is probable. =
