Englishman. row in best-and-best boats over
the Thames championship course. The contest
will not, l think, be of much interest to any
body except those directly connected with it.
Bubear can no longer enthuse the Britishers
any more than he can the Americans. His past
efforts have been of kind that prompts one to
care nothing at all about any race that he may
take part in. But whatever may be the fnten'
tions of the two rowers, 1 am inclined to
think that Matterson is a trife better sculler
than Bubear for couple of miles. If, how
ever, the contest is as it ought honestly to be-
and if Bubear is at his best. he ought to defeat
the Australian over the Thames course. But
one never can tell what result will follow in
modern boat races. The race in question
reminds me that Searle intends to sail for home
two DAYS after the contest takes place. He
stated this intention recently when down in the
North of England and if he means to carry it
out the offer of the Toronto people will be in
vain. The Canadians offer big purse for q
race between O'Connor, Teemer, Searle, Han
Ian and Gaudaur. If such a.contest were to
take place 1t would be great affair. But
dou BIT if it ever will occur. At any rate, Searle
has pointedly declared that he has no desire to
come to America.
Axtelps Great Record.
If ever there was a season OF trotting and

Not long ago patrons of the trotting track
were astounded at 3year-old record
but the extraordinary effort of Axtell
at Terre Haute on Friday simply electrified
the trotting world. A mile in 2:l2 and by J.
year-old stallion. Why, it is prodigious. Let
nobody talk about trotting growing less in pop
ularity in America after a performance like
that. If anybody needs proof conclusive that
trotting and trotters are growing in popularity
at very rapid rate, the sale of Axtell is that
proof. Just think of it! sl05, 900 for 3year-old
trotting horse. There must indeed, be mill
ions in the trotting business OF course. the
price is the largest paid for horse of any
kind. If am not mistaken Doncaster, the
winner of the English Derby in 1873, was sold
for an extraordinary price, but it was consider
ably short of the amount paid for the wonder

The Single Judge System.

The same authority, speaking of a referee

says: Honestly, L do not myself believe that
any two professionals can be found both pos
sessed of sufficient confidence in any single

ness and impartiality, to agree to stand or fall
by his decision, no matter how close the busi-
ness at the finish might be; if the men them
selves would-which again 1 say do not be-

of boxers, once almost akin to devils, have in
the course of the last few years become bat lit.

as have expressed my belief that the boxers
would not consent to be judged by one man
only, when so much is at stake, so / will here
add that do not believe any man really quail
fed to occupy the position would dream of oc-
cupying it. He would be too keenly alive to
what sort of a task il was that stood before
him. You may now guess what think of one
or two matches already on the carpet; as one
at least of them is to be carried through in
private, and az the folk who are finding the

This is q feature Of boxing contests that have
argued dozen times, and that there is, indeed,
much truth in 1t.

STREET OPENINGS.

improvements Meet the Usual
Opposition From Property Own
ers.
The committee on roads and bridges
of the council held lengthy session
yesterday and accomplished but little.
The first question taken up was the
opening of Thirty-fourth street to Lake
Calhoun. Col. William McCrory, who
owns the land. was there to protest
against the city taking his land without
paying him a reasonable price
for it. The appraisers had awarded
him $500 for two lots and then
assessed half the amount as
benefits on other property which
he owned, ana he would only receive
$3.50 per lot for the ground, which he
claimed was worth $1,000 Of any mans
money" After long discussion, the
committee deferred the matter for one
week.
The people who live in the vicinity of
the Milwaukee shops petitiOned for the
opening of Minnehaha avenue through
the grounds now occupied by the shops.
Aid. Parry was opposed to the opening,
and said that he had been informed that
if the city attempted to take
the ground away from the rail-
road company the shops would be
removed to another city. This he
thought would be very bad thing for
Minneapolis, and he had the petition
tabled for time at least by referring it
to the city attorney.
The committee agreed to recommend
the opening of Twenty-second street be-
tween Third and Fourth avenues south.
This will give the people who objected
to the awards made by the appraisers a
chance to carry their claims into the dis
trict court.

THOSE CROSSING CASES.
A Business Mems Committee to
Suggest a Compromise,


The railroad committees Of the coun-
ell, which on Tuesday agreed to make
a report to the council which in their
judgment would forever settle the
crossings muddle, have apparently
reckoned without their host. and no
one need be surprised if the PROPOSE
tions recommended by the committee
are opposed by both the st. Louis and
Manitoba companies. For the last five
wears the city has been try
ing to get these two companies
to build bridges and lower their
tracks so that the danger from accidents
due to grade crossings could be avoided.
When the city and one of the companies
agreed upon plan the other company
objected. The latest move in the mat
ter is President Hill's threat to move
the Manitoba freight houses to the East
side. Some time ago plans were Or
dered for these new buildings, and the
ground has already been surveyed.
Should the freight houses be moved to
the East side the business men of Min
neapolis will be put to considerable in
convenience, and they are ready to pro-
test against any such change, On
Tuesday an informal meeting Of
gentlemen interested in the subject was
held in President HIPS office. and it
was resolved to call committee of
twenty-five leading citizens to devise a
plan for bridging the tracks which shall
be equitable and just to both the st.
Louis and Manitoba companies. Among
the members of the committee are
George r. Newell, G. A. Pillsbury, w.
Ii. Dunwoody, j. G. Eliel, T. B. Janney,
F. L.. johnson and Isaac Atwater. The
committee will meet to-day.

The action of City Comptroller Calder

that there is deficit of 200 in the

mayor and some of the cOuncilmen. at

ed that the comptroller was prejudlced
against the police department and had
selected that departmentasa target. MIR.
Calderwood declared that he had called
all the departments down. and said that
he had perfect right, by virtue of his
Office, to do SO. 1t was unfortunate that
the greatest deficit (S23, 00W existed in
the police department. Mayor Babb
also took occasion to roast the news
papers for sending out the idea that the
city was bankrupt, when it wasn't, and
he didn't think it was right for the
comptroller to give out matters of that
kind three days before it was submitted
to the council. aid. Lowell said the
whole question of the deficit should
be treated in buSineSS-like way,
He thought the council ought to face
the music. 1t is business proposition
and If it should fond necessary the CON-
mittee would have to exceed their APP
preparations. Then he drew parallel.
A family. for instance. might be COM
pared to the municipality. 1t cost a
certain sum for certain year to
support that family. But there was
no assurance that 1t would not
cost more the next year. The family
was liable to grow and with growth
came additional expense. The head of
the family could not positively tell what
the expenditures for the coming year
would amount to. So with the city. 1t
was not always possible to say that
such and such department would cost
just so much and no more. City Comp
troller CalderwoOd. however. still holds
to the view that he has perfect right
to make public any matters Of pu bic
interest pertaining to his Office.

A case came up yesterday in the mu-
nicipal court which promises in point
of interest and attendant excitementto
eclipse, If not in length, the COLON
trial. A prominent figure In Vie
case is p. Halifax Gibbons. the
Hennepin avenue coal dealer.
politician and orator. Some weeks ago
1t appears that John T. Byrnes. the at
torney, ordered half ton of coal deliv-
cred at his Office, 213 NicOliet avenue.
The order, for some reason, however,
was not filled. Later on w. ii. Dona-
hue, the attorney. who has an office at
2ll Nicolle avenue, also ordered half
ton of coal. Yesterday morning the
coal for MIR. Donahue was deliv-
cred, or rather dumped upon
the sidewalk. AS the stairways leading
to the offices of the two attorneys almost
adjoin each other, a casual observer
to which it was consigned. M. G. Brady,
who has an Office with Mr.. ByrpeS,
came along. and probably thought the
coal was intended for their rooms.
At any rate, he procured the
services of a couple of men
who carried it up stairs. Later on w.
ii. Donahue came down to his office,
and not finding his coal delivered, he
reported at Gibbons Office and entered
as hearty complaint as was justified
by the appearance of cold weather.
Col. Gibbons swore it had been delivered,
but upon repairing to the scene dlscoy-
cred it had been taken to the wrong office:
Then he mounted the stairs to Byrnes'
Office in mighty wrath, and demanded
that the coal should be carried down
stairs and deposited on the sidew ak
again. This MeSSrs. Byrnes and Brad
ley refused to do. One word brought
on another, and an alteration arose SO
heated as to render the need OF coal
as dispenser of warmth at that time
unnecessary. Col. Gibbons threatened
to have Brady arrested for petit larceny
and carried out his threat by procuring
warrant. In the meantime, MI.
ium and rendered $3.50 in payment,
which Col. Gibbons refused to re-
ceive. Mr.. Brady was subsequently
arrested, and arraigned for larceny. He
was allowed to 20 on his own recOg-
nlzance, and the case was set for Fri
day when jury of twelve men will
puzzle their minds over the knOtty prob
lem. The witnesses for Col. Gibbons will
be E. w. Murphy and and the driver OF
the coal wagon; experts, M. Breslauer.

gagged as counsel to assist the city at

the bitter end.

Last evening Miss Eva Mcdonald
spoke on 1.-THE Single Tax; How 1t Will
Benefit Women in General" In the
beginning Of her remarks the speaker
dwelt at some length upon the cOndi-
ton of women and the reasons that in
f1uence them in seeking employment in
factories, shops and offices. She said it
was not because women naturally pre-
ferred such avOcatiOns, which made
them the competitors OF men,
but because the economic infu-
ences which controlled the wages and
the condition of workingmen operat d
as a lever to reduce their wages, anu
put 1t beyond their power to support
the women dependent upon them. in
whose natural protectors they are, CT
such manner as to make life pleasant
and agreeable for them, and enable
them to crafty their reasonable wants
and tastes; hence they resorted to fields
of labor which belonged to men, be-
came their competitors, and in the OPP
Grafton of the law Of supply and de-
mand, still farther reduced their wages.
She argued that the single tax, by i'm
proving the condition of the working
man, raising his wages, and broadening
the field Of industry to which his
talents are applicable, would change all
this and relegate the women from the
shops, the factories and the offices, to
homes of comfort and refinement, and
leave TO men the labor of the country,
except in some few cases where women
are especially adapted to the perform
ance of the labor required.
Miss Miss McDonald'S remarks we're
fuently delivered, in good language
and fOrcibie manner, and were well
received by the league.

The Situation Concerning the
Washburn-CrOsby Milling Com


pany.
Regarding the proposed removal OF
the Washburn-C Crosby Milling company
to Duluth, Mr.. Bell, president of the
company, says that he does not think
Minneapolis could offer the concern
any inducements which would justify
them in staying there. G. A. Pillsbury,
who will probably have control of the
water power as manager for the syndi-
cate which has bought it. says
that he thinks the Washbarn-
Crosby company will be able to- get
better terms than it has at present.
The impression prevails in milling cir
cles that the option which exists on the
&. G. Washburn mills. and which are
operated by the Crosby firm,
will expire without sale being made,
as the price has been put at pretty
steep figures. At all events, they can
not take the mills with them to Duluth,
and if they do not operate them other
parties will.
