DULUTH, March 6.-Duluthians re-
turning from ST. Paul yesterday and
this morning bring rather lugubrious
stories of the Duluth & Winnipeg land
grant bill. They say Gov. Merriam IS
opposing the measure; so Is Lieut.. GOV.
Rice. and also the chairman OF the sen
ate railroad committee. All OF which
friends of the bill might hope to over
come through the righteousness of their
cause, but they Tegrer that when the
governor appoints d committee 10 90 of
on a iDnket 20 St. Louis, or anywhere
else. by the merest chance he selects
a solid bod Y know 10 favor Duluth's
Dit measure. This IS a kind OF way OF
digging under the ribs Il OF appreciated
up here. II is thought here to-day that
the senate viii act faYorably upon the
bill when IL comes up Monday, but when
ii reaches the governor II Is feared that
his reported antagoniSm TO Duluth will
prompt him to adverse action. This IN
formation was obtained from well
known Republicans and prominent
citizens who have taken the liYeliest in
tereSt IN the question from the begin
ming.
ANOTHER EHIRL.
On Monday evening the city council
will probably have another batch of APP
poinfments TO fight over. There will
be no objection TO Z. 3. Edwards for
the board Of public works. nor probably
to George L. Hughes, its clerk. but
when q name is presented for fire COM
missioner there IS liable TO be fun.
There is no money in the Office, and the
present incumbent doesn't care q snap
for the place, but there IS an element
in the city council opposed TO Mayor
Sutphin on general principles. and will
make anything an excuse for
fight. Ex-Ald. Seville is look
OF health. but be won't get il. Phil
Westaway has bee superintendent OF
streets for number of years. and now
W. B. Sharpe will contest for the place.
Pills chances are the best. :. L.
Smiths name viii be submitted for an
9th or term as city attorney, and he viii
be confirmed. Notwithstanding his Dem
ocratic tendencies. Aid. Daily says he
is going 10 remove from the First ward,
which will neeessitate the selection of
some one else. Under the present char
ter the council has TO make the choice.
and it is safe 10 assume that Aid. Swan
strom viii find no friend in the new
member. With the new appointments
indicated. the working force OF the city
will be completed for the year, and the
disappointed can go 10 work again.
