O'Clock. The gentlemen OF the board
are always in hurry, but yesterday
morning they disposed of the business
that had accumulated during the week
at a more rapid rate than is usual, and
at 12 O'Clock they had adjourned with
quite list of finished busines added to
the records on the books of Secretary
Hall.
The committee on manufactures, rep
resented by L. B. Walker, made re-
port on their progress. Mr.. Walker said
that the committee held regular weekly
meetings for the consideration of the
INTRODUCTION OF MANUFACTURES.
He considered their work of great i'm
portance to the city, and said it was
their intention hereafter to call in clti-
Zens to aid them in the consideration OF
subjects that could not be discussed in
the open meetings of the board. +. c.
Nickels, the secretary, read a report of
the action Of the committee. Several
communications that they had received
had been considered of no Importance,
or the projects they advanced of too
fiimsy character to be advised. Among
those considered Of value was the prOpO-
sition of r. NJ. Weir. of Boone, 10. MIR.
Weir is the proprietor of manufact0ry
of steel furnaces, and il further inveStl-
CATION still makes him appear to be of
prospective value to the city, he will be
offered suitable inducements. Another
company that was looked upon favor
able is the BaidWinvilIe (Vt.) Rake
company The old establishment was
burnt, and the firm is looking
for new location. The secretary
of the committee is corresponding
with the view of getting them here.
John P. Howard, of Boston, proposes
the establishment of small factory
for plumbers and steam-fitters' sup
plies. etc. He will be brought to Min
neapolis if possible. The Tilden
Hea ter company, Minneapolis firm, is
at present having its manufacturing
done in Chicago. The committee ap-
pointed subcommittee to investigate
their heaters in the houses now sup
piled with them. This committee re-
ported very favorably. The company

will probably receive the support of the
board of trade.

and John G. Reno. The board has
never before been successful in obtain
ing a committee who would attend
faithfully to business, and cOngratu-
lates itself on the interest the gentle
men are manifeSting in the work, and
feels sure it will be of great benefit to
the city. The committee has been hold
ing one or two meetings each week
since their appointment, and are gain
ing reputation.
r. G. Anderson was recommended by
the committee on nominations to fill the
place vacated by Col. King. The rec
ommendation was heartily accepted,
and Mr.. Anderson will in the future fill
the position on the board of directors.
Judge Fish reported in regard to
THE CONFINEMENT OF BOYS
in the county Jail with the hardened
criminals. The committee of which he
was chairman had investigated the mat
ter. They advised that the municipal
courts be very careful in their sentences,
and the authorities guard against the
evil under the present laws.
j. B. BaSSett suggested that the boys
be sent to the W0rkhOuSe instead of to
the Jail. OF to the reform school; but the
suggestion did not appear to meet the
approval of the board. On the SuggeS-
ton of President Wyman. who is greatly
interested in the matter, the committee
was instructed to go before the county
commissioners with the request that a
separate department be made for the
boys in the county Jail. He thought the
board of trade could afford to build an
addition to the Jail for the boys rather
than allow them to be educated as crimi-
nails as they were now.
P. ID. Mcmillan heartily Endorsed
President Wyman, and said that the
jail could easily be fitted to accOmmo-
date them in separate apartment.
Clay MacCauley, chairman of a COM
mittee appointed to Investigate the ques-
ton OF
RAILWAY CROSSINGS.
and the law pertaining thereto, reported
that as the matter was now before the
supreme court for its decision, the
board Of trade had best wait for its &C
ton.
The Christian Arbitration and Peace
society had a request presented, asking
the Endorsement by the board of a reso-
luton, to be agreed toby the nations of
the earth. to settle all difficulties by
arbitration instead Of war. The matter
was referred to the committee OH legiS
latiOn.
The committee to whom was referred
the invitation of the wholesale grOcers
of st. Louis to send delegate to the
national convention of representatives
of commercial business institutions of
the United States to formulate
A BANKRUPT ACT,
to present to congress, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions. which will be for
warded to the convention, which is to
meet the 2Sth of the month. The board,
however, will have no representative
present:
Resolved, That we fully realize the
Importance of national bankrupt act
which will secure protection to the
honest merchant. inflict punishment on
the dishonest merchant, and establish
uniform system for the collection,
preservation and distribution of the
estates of insolventS at minimum cost.
Resolved, That we urge upon the con-
gress of the United States the imme-
diate passage of bankrupt law which
will afford that protection to the bus
mess men of this country which they
need. and for the want of which they
are now suffering.
A. B. BARTON,
JOHN n. HARRIS.
President Wyman stated to the board
that the citizens committee appointed
at Harmonic hail, of which he was
chairman, had met the Hennepin dele
CATION, and that it was his opinion that
Minneapolis would obtain just the legis-
lation she wanted; that the sentiment
seemed to be to grant the requests of
the citizens just as nearly as was pos
sible. He also stated that the board of
trade had in its treasury 81, 500 or 81 500.
which was larger sum than they had
possessed since the organization In 1857.
This, he said, showed the Endorsement
of the citizens.
