STILL UNDER COVER.
Doings of the New p. C. as Sacred.
1y Secret as Ever.

n. II. Giertsen and w. r. Guile. the
new police commissioners, appeared be-
fore Clerk Haney and took the oath of
Office yesterday. Mr.Guile was sworn in
for the four years term and MI. .Giertsen
for two years, a transposition that created
some surprise, as it was supposed Giert-
sen would get the long term. In the
afternoon the old board met and re-
ceived official notification that their
successors had qualified, and on motion
of Commissioner Baker the old board
adjourned sine die. The new board
then met and began an organization by
electing Commissioner GiertSen vice
president. At this point Mayor Babb
received notice that committee from
the board of trade was below waiting
for him, and the new police board took
a recess to allow him to meet
the committee. Later they went into
session again and issued a list of in
structiOns to the superintendent of po-
lice and general order to the officers
directing that men who boarded street
cars for the purpose of persuading or
DulldOZing any of the new employees to
leave the service should be arrested.
The order was not given out for pub
lication. but that is understood to be the
substance of it. Nothing could be
learned of the Instructions given Supt.
Bracket, but it is thought they pertain
TO his policy during the strike, although
this was denied. 1t looks as if the new
board intended to adopt more vigorous
measures for the preservation of peace
and order than the old commission
deemed necessary.

ADJUSTMENTS.

fashionable and discriminating audience
Witnessed the producio ion OF Sardous latest
spectacular tragedy. La Tosca," at the
Grand last night Fanny Davenport appear
ing in the title role Miss Davenports crea-
tions of the past in this country, and her sub
sequent success i'll this intense role has
passed into current stage history, and
1t is needless TO say that her rend-
ton was a gem of emotional acting. The
actress has not grown any Stouter since her
appearance here in Fedora and in the
charming gowns displayed during the the
and enchanting prima donna to perfection.
Her display of tragic power III the closing
scenes of the play certainly stamp her as one
OF the great tragediennes of the day. The
role of Scorpia, intrusted TO Melbourne
Mcdowell. was clearly limned. and the
malignity and cunning of the serious
police regent strongly wrought. The support
was excellent. La Tosca" is play full of
passion and purpose and the situations,
somber and tragic, are lightning bolts in eff
feet The play is picturesque, melodramatic
ana fareful and the characterizations are
brought out as only Sardou can write them.
The story is Il vivid picture of Italian life
during the Napoeonic campaigns and the
intrigue of court life clearly penciled. Miss
Davenport gives great performance; the
play appeals tC lovers of the dramatist, art
and the engagement is certainly an event.
LA Tosca' will be presented this evening
and 10 morrow evening only.
The smoolhest first nights performance
ever seen at the Peoples theater was that of
"The Strangers of Paris which was given
TO an appreciative audience last night. 1t is
q magnificent drama; one that holds the
closest attention of the audience 1t is one
of those powerful plays in which the char
acterS seem TO live. and one sees vistas
of the real scenes from which it
is taken. 1t impresses one with its
absolute sincerity and truth. Mr.. Gossin
gave wonderful performance of Jagon the
Stranger. The central figure in the play,
whose passion for his daughter leads him to
commit such frightful crimes, and yet his
motives, his grand strength. his perfect cool
ness, and his brilliant intellect lend him a
sublimity that makes him almost noble.
Miss Johnstone gave magnificent
portrayal of Mathilde. She had very
little to do. in ract the only
opportunity is one scene in the first act, but
that was given with power that will make
it long remembered. Mr.. Brown gave a very
smooth, finished portrayal of Blanchard.
Mr. Ferry. as Robert gave an excellent por-
trayal of the dashing. enthusiastic young
army officer. Miss Salisbury was n delightful
Jeanne, and the other characters were well
taken The play will run all week

Emery'S Court

y
The municipal court room was crowd

nesses, officers and prisoners, while
Judge Emery paid his respects to more
rioters. Peter Roth, against whom C.
G. Goodrich preferred a charge of de-
stroying railway property, was az
raigned. 1t is alleged that he was
one of the men who tore up
the track on Riverside avenue,
and he was committed TO await an eX-
animation at 8 a. m. to-day. Thomas
Conley and Thomas Olson, the two big
fellows who were said to have been
caught in the act of tearing up the
rails, were arraigned simply on a charge
of disorderly conduct. COnley's sem
tence was 500 fine and nine days in
the workhouse, with ninety more to
be served in default of the fine.

simply with the people who tore up the
track, and that he protested against any
such action. His case was continued
until to-day. Ole Erickson was con-
victed of throwing stones at car on
Washington avenue during Sundays

Canty, who took exceptions to all the
rulings of the court, and told Judge
Emery that the courts action had done
as much as anything to incite riot His

The Haymarket Meeting De-
nOunces Babb--The Riot
erS in Court.

Minneapolis was treated to fairly good
street car service yesterday, after ten
days of hard walking, and the change
was a welcome one, to say the least.
Cars were run with something like reg
ularity on the motor line, the University
avenue. Plymouth avenue, Fourth ave-
nue. and Lyndale avenue lines from z
O'Clock in the morning, and no attempt
was made to interfere with them. All
had large numbers of passengers, and
the new men acquitted themselves much
better than was expected. On some of
the lines the regular number of cars was
not run, but still there were enough
to give good service. During the
day most of the cars were run
with but one patrolman on guard. No
effort was made by the company to re-
pair any of the damage done by the
mob on Sunday afternoon and night.
Hundreds of curious people visited the
two overturned cars on Washington
avenue south, and the wrecked River
side line tracks, which stood as mute
monuments to the mad fury of an angry
mob. Some of the regular trackmen
were stoned once OF twice during the
day, by parties who evidently mistook
them for new men. Outside of this
there was no demonstration of any kind.

ON WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS.
The Children Have Their Day and
EniOy 1t Hugely

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Easter Mon
day is known as children's day at the
White house and in the spacious
grounds surrounding it. To-day the in
fantile boomers, in imitation of their
adult prototypes who are crossing the
border into the promised land of Okla
homa, swarmed into the White house
grounds. made their locations on the
ground by knots and proceeded to the
joyous occupation of rolling brilliantly
dyed Easter eggs. The merry laughter
of hundreds of children rang to the ears.
The pretty costumes of mothers and
maids who came to keep watchful
eye over their rollicking youngsters,
rendered the scene an attractive one,
and one which the occupants of the
executive mansion frequently appeared
at the windows to admire. The merri-
ment and pleasure of the occasion was
enhanced by an order issued by Secre-
tary Tracy requiring the Marine band
to furnish music for the little ones dur
ing the afternoon. and many impromptu
dances were indulged in.

WANT BABES SCALP.
A Resolution Asking Him to Re-
sign Adopted at a Meeting.

The meeting called for on Bridge
square at 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
by the trades and labor assembly, to
protest against the conduct of the vari-
Gus city officials during the street rail-
way employees, strike, did not come off
there, as the police would not
Accordingly the crowd moved down
to the old hay market on First street.
and at 2:30 o'clock there were in the
neighborhOod of 10000 men, all labor
ing men, too, there. The meeting was
called to order by Thomas III. Lucas,
and S. q. Carnee, of the painters union,
was made chairman. Lucas was the
first speaker. He roasted the police for
denying citizens the right to use the
public streets, the council for ignoring
the petition signed by 10000 men, and
Mayor Babb for not pursuing diffeS-
ent policy in regard to the strike.
Had he been i'll Babb's place, he said, he
would have notified the street car company
that the cars must be started inside of five
hours and by that means the company
would have been forced to take back the old
men. The speaker said that the procIama-
ton issued by the mayor was very unwise
thing, and did more to cause trouble than
anything else. In concluding. he contended
that by the law of eminent domain the CON-
munity could condemn and purchase the
plant of any corporation for the public good.
Prof NJ. A. Morey, Miss Eva Mcdonald
nd Judge William Welch followed with ad-
resses much in the same strain.
j. w. Arctander was the next
speaker. He made an address which
was frequently applauded, and which
caused some of his hearers to wonder
if their ears were not deceiving them as
his speech went on.
'.Workingmen, said he, ''you are perhaps
defeated in this strike, and if you are it is be-
cause you have no representation in the city
council, while Tom Lowry has. You have
no representation in the legislature,
while Tom Lowry has them all
doubled up. The committee appointed at
the Bridge square meeting called upon Gov.
Merriam to induce him to introduce the bill
to take the street car franchise. / was with
the delegation that called on the governor.
He met us with smiles; he always smiles.

When we made known our business, he
asked us how the Hennepin delegation stood

He would send you to the workhouse, un-
doubtedly. Raise your hands to God and
take an oath to patronize nothing but busses
next election and you may ride in street cars
again."
In closing, Mr.. Arctander declared
that he had ceased to belong to the Re-
publican party because the monopoliStS
had it in their grasp.
Chris A. Gallagher followed with an
address in which he bitterly denounced
Mayor Babb as a man totally unfit to
act as the chief executive of city like
Minneapolis. Mir. Gallagher had a good
word to say for Supt. Bracket, whom,
he said, was in sympathy with the
strikers, and was doing the best he could.
At the close Of Gallagher'S speech
resolution was read by the chairman.
In substance it was to the effect that
the course of the mayor during the
present trouble had developed his in
capacity as chief magistrate of great
city, and calling upon him to resign the
office he had proved himself unfit to fill.
These resolutions were received with
storm of applause, and were passed
with yell of delight. Thomas Lucas
stated that petitions would be passed
around for signature asking Mayor
Babb to resign. This was greeted with
more applause. Resolutions were then
adopted complimenting the street car
men for the manly stand they had taken
during the present trouble, and declar-
ing that the failure to operate cars on
all the lines, as ordered by the council,
had forfeited the franchise, and that the
importation of lot of Pinkerton de-
tectiveS, disguised as cowboys, was a
disgrace to all persons interested in
bringing them here.

ing more bold and violent, and its final sup
preston seems more remote and more likely
to lead to bloodshed at this time than at the
beginning; therefore,
its full support to Mayor Babb and the city
authorities in any and all measures which
may be found necessary or expedient for the
prompt and full enforcement of the law, and
the preservation Of public order and private
rights.
Resolved, That it is the deliberate conclu-
OF this body that the course of the Tribune
and Journal in this matter has been worthy
OF our severest condemnation, and it is our
belief that an outspokeu attitude in favor of
law and order and in condemnation of law
lessness assumed at the beginning of the
strike by those papers, would have prevented
most of the disastrous conditions of the pres
ent situation.
Resolved, That all good citizens should
endeavor to place the responsibility of the
situation where it belongs, and should take
Such measures as may seem to them suitable
TO- administer a. fitting rebuke to those
Journals which, having power to do un-
limited good or evil, have done chiefly evil.
Then he entered into a burst of ora
tory condemning the papers.
1.-THE two Minneapolis papers, he said, 81
understand are under one control, and sub
stantially one paper and when one blows
hot the other blows cold. / know not what
devil controls them, whether it is the typo
graphical union or what, but do know that
they are contem ptible, treacherous, outra-
geous-damnable. We have given them our
support. and in return they are dominated
by labor organizations, and from want of
bravery, pluck and sagacity are making this
city wilderness. The citizens should con-
denim them roundly, and if in no other way
they can control them, they should leave
them without support
Frank Nickels made a remark that the
Pioneer Press, GLOBE and Star ought

dissented, and said he aimed at the

press his suggestion to vote, and the
formal meeting broke up with the
adoption of Mr.. Corser's triple-plated

had not been instrumental in bringing
about the lawlessness. That it injured

Self-evident that the damage had been
done by the mob of unorganiZed labor
erS and hoodlums, and not by friends of
the strikers. AT the meeting of the
executive board of the strikers the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, On Sunday. April 81, there oc
CURED i'll the streets of Minneapolis a dis
turbance between the citizens the police,
and the scab cowboy employees of the Min
neapolis Street Railway company, and
Whereas, In the Minneapolis Tribune this
disturbance has been unjustly and wrong
fully charged against the striking employees
of the street railway company; and
Whereas, The EN- ployes are organized men
steadily opposed to every violation of law.
Resolved, That we hereby express our
m ost unqualified disapproval Of the trouble
which occurred on Sunday We charge the
entire trouble to the management of the
street railway company in this. that they
employed gang of armed outlaws popularity
called cowboys, to intimidate and overawe
the otherwise peaceable people of Minneap-
oils We regard the action of the street
railway company as menace to free in
stitutions, and believe the trouble was
brought about through its own instigation
for the purpose of diverting public SYM
pathY away from the strikers.

some time to-day, and if such move is
made the cars will be run without in

mission met yesterday with all the
members, Supt. Bracket and Mr..

Committee Call on Mr.. Lowry.


Committee Cali on Mr.. Lowry.
At an early hour yesterday morning
the committee appointed by the Trade
and Labor assembly to wait upon Mr..
Lowry and endeavor to bring about a
conference between him and the execu-
tive board of the street railway, called
upon that gentleman and were
very cordially received. Mr.. Low
ry, however, stated that under
no circumstances would he con-
fer with the employees union; that that
organization was established for the
sole purpose of running the company's
business, and that he would in no way
recognize it. After long conference,
the committee returned to the strikers
at Labor Temple, where they reported
that they had been unable to accom-
plish anything. In the evening the
trades and labor assembly met at the
Labor Temple to consider the commit
tees report, but nothing was given out
for publication.

RATHER ROUGH.
A Little Boy Testifies to His Moth
er's DishonOr.

Judge Hooker spent the day yester-
day listening to the divorce suit brought
by Alexander Houston against his wife,
charging her with adultery and drunk
enness. A jury was empaneled, and
the case was quite interesting from the
nature of the witnesses introduced. A
little boy of nine years appeared as wit
ness for his father, and swore to hav-
ing seen his mother enter a bedroom
with a Mr.. Wilson and lock the door
after her. A neighboring lady testified
to having seen six different men with
Mrs. Houston while Mr.. Houston was
from home. Some conflicting evidence
was given, and altogether it was tan
gled affair. 1t will be continued to-day.
