TALK OF A LOBBY.
In connection with the bill it is stated
that the real opposition to the measure
will not come before the committee,
but be exerted through lobby now
alleged to be organized with an ex-
eheauer containing sl5,ooo. to be used
in greasing itching palms. Involving
as the grant does the right of way
through an intellectually valuable piece
of territory, and conflicting as it will
with another powerful system, the fight
in the house promises to be as lively
and notorious as the late senatorial cpl
sode. The public lands committee ap-
pears to be well satisfied that as far as
time limits are concerned that the
Duluth & Winnipeg has made its grant
liable to forfeiture, but that in equity
it may be more just to consider the
spirit of the law instead of the exact
letter. The entire country north of the
Northern Pacific has monetary inter-
est in the defeat of the pending bill
that may be expected to counterpoise
the alleged golden ducats of the oppo-
sition. However it is, all the indica-
tions are that the great fight over the
bill will be in the lobby.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14.-The third
annual convention of the National As
sociatiOn of Builders closed its session
to-day. Architect John Macarthur, Jr.,
of the public buildings, read paper
prepared by 0. P. Hatfield, the New
York architect. The writer of the ad
dress held that the architects position
was that of an umpire or judge, whose
duty it was to guard the interests of the
owner as well as those of the builder.
The success of an architect depended
upon his ability to select the best con-
tractor for the owner. Unity of action
was urged between the architect and
builder. A motion to have Mr.. Hat
fields address printed in pamphlet
form and distributed all over the United
States was agreed to. The greater por-
ton of the afternoon was taken up by
the report of the committee on resolu-
tions and the consideration of the same.
1t was decided to have the next meet
ing held in st. Paul about Jan. 80, 1890.
The following officers were elected:

A ROUTINE SESSION.
Elevator and Warehousemen to
Be Licensed.

When a small boy, Mark Twain was
seized with the desire of keeping a
diary of his daily doings, and the re-
corded items of each day read: "Got
up, washed, went to bed again." The
sterile, uninteresting routine of the
early life of the now great humorist is
characteristic of yesterdays session of
the senate. An impartial reporter.
aiming at accuracy and not at effect
would record the proceedings thus:
The senate met, rOutined and ad
jOurned." There was a sparse attend
ance of senators, a major portion of
them being iunketing about the state,
inspecting the various public inStitu-
tions. The small attendance threatened
to collapse the Minneapolis municipal
court bill, fayorably reported upon by
Senator Oswald, on behalf of the Hen
nepin delegation. Thirty delegates
voted aye and President Rice said
the bill could not pass without two
more votes. A vigorous search was
made for wandering legislators, and ul-
timately Senator Ives was unearthed
from the depths of the postoffice and
Senator Bowen from the corridors. The
volume of bills introduced is decreasing
rapidly, and but five new measures saw
the light, the most important of which
came from Senator Shields. 1t is bill
to regulate the warehousing of grain at
all points in Minnesota, except st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth. The features
of the proposed legislation are:
That all elevators and grain ware
houses in this state, other than those i'll
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, shall
be under the supervision of the railroad
and warehouse commission. No such
elevator OF grain warehouse shall be
permitted to do a grain business for
others for a compensation without a
license from the railroad and warehouse
commission, which license shall be
issued by the commission for 81. Every
owner or manager of such warehouse at
such times as the commission shall re-
ouire shall furnish to the commission in
writing, under oath, statement of the
condition of his business, showing the
total number of bushels of each kind
and grade of grain received in store, the
number delivered out and the number
remaining in store. There is the usual
misdemeanor provided against ware
housemen not taking out this license.

WAsH!NGToN, Nov. 26.-Tho follow ing has been received from Caldwell, Ohio: "Six hundred thousand families, in sickness, poverty and distress, are anXiously looking to Washington for a Christmas gift. Many of them have waited ton or fifteen hristmases for it. Thero are 600, 900 unad justed claims on file in tho Pension office. Congress has promised to break the deadlock and let them fly. It can easily do so by codifying the laws and striking out all the technicalitiGs that hinder and delay the consideration of our long g-delayed pensions. Let it cut the red tape and tho boys will bless it.
 "Evory pension means from s1o0 to Sl, ,OOO for some poor soldiers family. What nice Christmas gift it would be. It would be so nice for Congress to do it, too. Think of it, o, ye states men and millionaires of Washington as you sit down to your Thanksgiving turkey. Think of the 600, 900 poor families who have no turkey and have nothing for which to give thanks but the hope of tho pension that you are to send them for Christmas gift"

THE PETTUS INQUEST.
s1rs. Southworth, the Murderess, Refofs
 the Coroner.


 NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-The coroner's inquest ill the caso of Stephen Pettus, the Brooklyn millionaire, who was murdered by Mrs. Southworth, was commenced to-day. The murderess was accompanied by female friend. MT. William Howe, the senior member of Howe X Hummel, who have had charge of Mrs. Southworth's case against Pettus from ts start, said his client at the present time was in no condl- ton to undergo an examination or to make statement. It is evident from this that the line of defence will be the Insanity of the defendant, a plea which 1t will not be difficult to SubStantiate, judging by tho number of persons who have already offered their testimony to that end through the newspapers.
 Unexpectedly DistrictAttorney Fol lows Lad Captain Mclaughlin bring the prisoner to the General Sessions build ing at II o'clock, and tho Grand Jury are now considering the case. This ac- tion pleased the womans counsel, who said he was anxious for an immediate trial.
 'We have documents in our posses sion," said MT. Howe, "bearing on the assault and tho subsequent proceedings which will, when they are made public, startle and horrify society. We will prove the operation at syracuse, anu WE will have the testimony of physicians to show tho unbalanced condition of her mind. As soon as the inquest is over l will write letter to the Dis trict Attorney asking for an immediate trial"
 Mir. Lauterbach. of tho firm of Hoad- ley, Lauterbach & Johnson, who have acted for Mir. Pettus in the past, said that the family of the murdered man would not press the prosecution. That lay entirely in tho hands of the Dis trict Attorney, and they had appar- ently decided to leave it thero, as they said nothing to him or his partners con corning tho coming trial. If it was neo essary, MT. Lauterbach said, he would furnish the documents in their pos session.
 Their side of the story of Mrs. South worths intimacy with Pettus is in effcc' that she voluntarily submitted to the alleged assault They say that no only once, but on several occasions Mrs Southworth visited places of evil resor with Pettus and that her feeling agains him was due to his having become weary of her and refusing to give he S1OO week on the condition that sht | would leave him alone.
