The Street Railway Strike in
Minneapolis Thought to
Be About Over.
A Little Excitement Created
by the Doping" of a Few
Motor Engines.
Some Of the Strikers Reported
to Be Asking for Rein
statement.
Supt. Goodrich Says All Lines
Will Be Running in a
Few Days.

The backbone of the street car strike
at Minneapolis is broken, and unless
the strikers possess unlocked for recup-
erative powers the company has won.
There were no scenes of violence yes
terday, and the excitement which sus-
tanned the strikers is gradually
dying out. There is hardly a
doubt that by Monday all the
cars in the city will be
running. The strikers based their last
hopes on the motor trains, which are
more difficult to man than street cars,
as it requires skilled engineers, tiremen
and brakemen. But yesterday motor
steamed down to Washington avenue
without interference OF difficulty. 1t
was discovered that several motor en-
gines had been previously ''doped" with
soap so as to render them useless. This
nccasioned a delay of several hours, and
the discovery has not helped the strik-
ers any i'll the sympathy of the public.
while the tearing up of track in South
Minneapolis has also operated TO work
quite a change in popular feeling.

MEETING OF STRIKERS.
Well AtteWied Afternoon Gather

The strikers held a well-attended

A WOODCHUCK.
A Lively Fight Over a Railroad
RiIl

Bill.
There is bitter fight pending over
House File No. ST., bill relating to
railroad corporations. The senate yes
terday morning decided it should be in
definitely postponed, but in the evening
Mr.. Goodrich moved a reconsideration
of the vote. Mr.. Bowen opposed. claim
ing that the bill virtually allowed rail-
road corporations to water their stock.
He declared that any man voting for the
bill was traitor to the working class in
terestS of the state. Mr.. Pope also
stated that the bill was being resuscita-
ted by the emmissaries of the Manitoba
road, while Mr.. Brown declared it was
the worst bill he ever saw introduced
in the legislature. 1t would wipe out
all legislation which they had obtained
to regulate the railroads in the inter-
ests of the people.
The motion to reconsider was carried
by vote of q to 10, and Gen. Pope at
once endeavored to have the bill re.
turned to the Judiciary committee. De
feated: Yeas Is, nays 6. 1t was seen
that the friends of the measure could
not pass the bill, not having the re-
quired number Of votes, so Mr.. Bowen
quickly moved that the bill be read q
third time. Mr.. Buchanan checkmated
the move by moving call of the house
A deadlock of thirty minutes ensued

THE MOTORS RUN OUT.
Two Engines Leave the Round
house All Fired Up.

A motor train was run from the
shops at Thirty First street to Wash
ington avenue yesterday afternoon,
without accident. and as consequence
the company is happy, while
the strikers are discouraged. AT
an early hour yesterday morning a
detail of officers. both foOtmen and
mounted men, were sent to the junction,
accompanied by one of the patrol
wagons. WOrkmen were busy around
the yard all the morning, seeing that the
switches were all right, and that the
tracks were free from all distractions.
The officers sauntered around with the
careless grace of hired men, now and
then chasing some Yentures0me indi-
vidual over to the opposite side of the
street. In the roundhouse were the
new men. running the engines from
one side of the building to the
other, and removing the soap and other
foreign substances from the boilers of
the engines. That the engines had
been ''dOped" was certain, but no bolts
were broken nor screws loose. Among
the engines which had been fixed were
Nos. ,, 3. :, 9, IL and Is. ana as it took
the new men all the morning to clean
out the boilers, no motors were run out
until late in the afternoon. When it
was found that the motors would not go
out until afternoon the crowd around
the yards thinned out great deal. A
few of the strikers fingered around, but
made no particular attempt to talk to
any of the new men.
At l o'clock matters began to liven up
around the junction. Guards were
thrown out in ali directions, and the
new men began to rush in and out of
the TOundhOuSe. A crowd began to
gather out in the street and the police
began to Straighten up and twirl their
clubs. A few minutes after o'clock
Supt. Sharp put in an appearance. and
after giving lot of orders to the Off
GERS, dashed into the roundhouse, then
out again. and began to inspect
the various cars standing in
the yard. The crowd began to
watch the doors of the roundhouSe
anXiOusly and about O'Clock the men
were rewarded by seeing motor come
out of the rOundhouse, closely followed
hy another one. After taking on coal.
the first motor pulled a car out on the
main track and headed for the city,
while the other one was used in switch
ing cars in the yard. As soon as the
car headed for the city drew up in trout
of the station, it was boarded by two
officers, while another one climbed
into the engine to protect the engi-
neerS. The only passengers were a
number OF reporters. There were two
green-lOOking cons on, who made
plenty of fun for the spectators. tThere
was a largely and constantly growing
crowd looking on, but no demonstration
Of any kind came, and the police looked

THE STREET CAR LINES.
No Trouble Yesterday--Other Lines
to Be Started To-Day.

Cars on the University, Fourth
avenue and Plymouth avenue lines
were run as usual all day yes
terday without interference on the
part of any one. There were few
mistakes made by the new men,
and the runs were made very regularly.
All the excitement along the lines ap-
peared to have subsidized, so far as any
demonstration was concerned, and not
more than once or twice did any of the
new men hear the cry of ''Scab." There
was no necessity for the police to re-
main on the cars apparently, but it was
considered safer to keep them there for
a short time longer At the barns the
new men were cared for, and in one
case four of them left, not liking the
treatment they were receiving The
strikers kept away from the barns alto
gether, and did not even talk to the
new men on the cars.
This morning the Monroe and the
Lyndale avenue lines will be put in OPP
Grafton, and possibly an attempt may be
made to start out the Riverside avenue
and the Second street ears. Men we're
engaged in clearing the tracks all day
yesterday, while at the barns the new
men were being initiated into the mys-
teries of twisting brake and pushing
on the lines. No further trouble of any
kind is feared from any source, and it is
probable that the cars will be running
all right and on regular time again by
Monday noon

HIXSON'S TONGUE.
Senators Agree to the Piiisbury
University ProDOSitiOn.

The Piilsbury donation of S150,000 to
the university was accepted by the SEN
ate Yesterday. There was no hesitancy
on the part of senators to accept the
donation and return Gov. PillsbIry
their warmest thanks. but there was
slight disposition to kick against bind
ing the legislature in an assurance that
the unity of the agricultural college
and university be maintained. Mr..
Bowen eloquently voiced the opinions
of those unwilling to pledge the faith
of this state to the conditions which are
sought to be imposed upon u.s." Mr..
Ward, while supporting the resolutions
accepting the gift. remarked, for Mr..
Bowen'S edification, that I'VE cannot
bind future legislatures
Mr.. Pope-The question has never
been disputed that the governmental
appropriation for an agricultural col
lege has been miSapplled. | do not
wish to detract from the munifcence
of Gov Pillsbury's gift, but this legis-
Iature has no right-has no p0wer-to
pledge the state to contract that the
agricultural college and university
shall not be dissolved. We will stultify
ourselves, and weaken the gift of that
noble gentleman, if we accept it under
such condition.
Mr.. HixsOn spoke against the accept
ance of Gov. Pillsbury's donation with
the assurance asked for, and made some
caustic references about the Minneapo-
lis miller. He had not been long
resident of the state, coming here in
1888, but he had heard of Mr.. Pillsbury
connected with the Minneapolis Wheat
association and the issuance of the
state railroad bonds. The farmers of
the Red River valley had no reasonto
love Mr.. Pillsbury for the manipula-
tons of the wheat association. Mr..
Hixson diverted to the conscience
money of the United States govern
ment. and again came back to Mr.. Pills
bury, saying it was all right and proper
he should give this money. 1t was gen.
erOus. Mr.. PillSbury had the money,
and did not have to give it away.
Mr.. Ward protested against. and re-
buked Mr.. HiXson for his gratuitouS in
suit to Gov. Pillsbury.
An amendment offered by Gen. Pope
TO strike out of the resolutions that the
college and university should remain
combined, was defeated, yeas % nays 10.

olution was:

THE TRIP To TOWN.
Details of the Run Down to Wash
ington Avenue.

Before the motor train was started for
the city, two mounted police fell in
ahead, one on each side of the engine,
and two rode their horses alongside of
the rear car The two big patrolmen
sailed into the car, and one stationed
himself at the front platform, while the
other kept the small boys from climb
ing onto the rear. When all was ready,
Sharp. the superintendent of the line,
critically inspected the arrangements
and then gave the order to 90 ahead.
The train started with Jerk and the
people standing in the vicinity were
covered with dirty water. which was
blown out of the StOp-cOckS. AS the
train passed down the line. with officers
gallOping ahead and behind it. every
one stopped and gaZed, as though they
had never seen motor train before.
The conductors were not up in motor
signals, and in consequence the train was
not run particularly smoothly. From
every house along the track came ladies'.
Some of them Missed. while others
waived their handkerchiefS. The
scene was an animated one, to say the
least. AS the train neared Washington
avenue, the crowd became more dense,
but there was no demonstration of any
kind. The avenue was packed between
Fourth street and Washington avenue,
but the officers from the central station
kept the track clear. When the train
stopped at Washington avenue, Ii. q.
o. Morrison climed on and dropped into
a seat with sigh of satisfaction. He
had the honor of being the first passen-
ger.
The switch would not work all right
for same reason, and the efforts of the
new men 90 get the motor around were
met with groans. At last matters were
righted. and the train started on the re-
turn trip with several passengers on
board. There were number of ladies
on board, and they appeared to enjoy
the trip. The officers returned with the
train, although there was no use for
them, as no effort was made to inter
fere with the train. About $50 the en-
CINE was run back into the round house.
