RECORD OF A YEAR.
A Few of the Accomplishments OF
the Chamber Of Commerce.

"A Few OF the accompaniment VI
the Chamber Of Commerce.
Very few among our citizens have
any idea of the variety and Importance
of the subjects coming up in our cham
Der of commerce week by week and all
the year around, for its consideration.
Nearly 100 matters of Importance were
thus brought before it last year on an
average of two every session. Among
the more prominent of these. and as in
dicating the work of the chamber, We're:
In Matters of General Interest-Johns-
town and Seattle reliet; relief for Da-
kota sufferers; aid in seed wheat, ETC.,
Dakotas; immigration: steamship sub
sides: merchants marine; postal tele-
graph: the 500 canal.
In Way of General Legislation-f he
national bankruptcy laws; Canadian
relations; Sunday laws.
In State Interests-Our state fair;
National Pipestone park; flax and linen
industries; Fort Smelling reservation.
In local interests, which the chamber
is sometimes said to neglect: Union
depot: amendments to city charter;
instruction to grand juries; Broadway
bridge; inspection Of fire department:
street railway lIduClioco, 1oACo ohu
salaries of city and county officials;
cost of gas in various cities; street
sprinkling: legal rights of city against
railroads; city hospital; street car devel-
opments; electric motor lines; alleys in
business blocks; water supply; danger
from electric wires; advertising st.
Paul: Holly system for heat and power;
public auditorium; public library; post
office building; development lumber
interest; public baths and ambulance
system: development of manufactures;
manual training school; and many
others. :.
The reception and entertainment
of visiting bodies have been no small,
though always an agreeable, work. The
senate committee on Canadian relations,
Pan-American council. Montreal city
fathers. homeopathic physicians. Min
nesota Editorial association, and last. but
not least, the National Educational as

talities to a greater or less extent. as
also branches of the q. A. r. and other
associations. The chamber has also
been represented at various convert
tions. and on lake and river improve.
ments. etc. This is an imperfect record
of single year, but it means volumes
of individual effort and unselfish public
service on the part of chamber and It's
board of directors.

Chamber of Commerce.

There was very little business trans
acted by the chamber of commerce yes
terday. The disasters at Lakes Gervals
and Pepin were discussed, and the
chamber will probably take action look
ing toward relief in the former case.
MIR. Foullle reported that council would
probably not pass the milk inspection
ordinance.
G. ii. Lienau, recently elected di-
rector, sent in communication stating
that it would be impossible for him to
serve.
The committee on reception reported
favorably on the resolution adopted at
the last meeting, which provides for
raising general reception fund to en-
terrain guests of the city. A subscrip-
ton paper was submitted, whereby
each signer agrees to pay the sum Of
$40 per annum on or before Aug. 1.
1890, 1891 and 1892, for the benefit of
this fund. to be placed at the disposal of
the chamber of commerce.

The Inver Grove Assailant in st.
Paul and Securely Housed.
The Inver Grove assault case was
called in Judge Greer's court at that

the escape of the defendant little could
be done aside from taking the testimony
of the complaining witness, Clara
Schmitten, which was substantially the
same as reported in yesterday morn
ing's GLOBE. Warrants were issued
for the arrest of the man, whose real
name-Charles Degolrey-has been fully
established, and his residence, 52S

officers kept the place under surveil-
lance until they captured the fellow yes
terday afternoon. They held him until
the arrival of Marshal Bloom and Dep
uty Sheriff AndreSt, who fully identified
the prisoner aud took him to Inver
Grove last evening. The further hear
ing of the case is set for this morning at

cation was called last evening for the
purpose of receiving bids and awarding
contracts for the new school buildings
and additions to be constructed by the
board. There were present Inspectors
Foley, Giesen. Kuhles, Merrill, Postleth-
waite and President Haas. A complaint

ii. E. Hand had not allowed him the
privilege due him as con-
tractor OF examining the plans
of the Monroe and Adams
school buildings. and that he had con-
sequently been prevented from prepar-
ing bid. Mr.. Hand was present and
showed that there had been mistake
about the advertising for bids in the
case of the Monroe school, which had
resulted in his not having the plans
ready. On motion of Inspector Postle-
thwaite the Monroe school bids were re-
turned to the bidders and the secretary
instructed to readvertise. The follow
ing bids were received:

HELPING THE DEMOCRATS.
Republican Divisions in Pennsylvania
May Elect Opposition Congressman.

There appears to be prospect that W. L.
Scott of Erie may be member Of tho next
House from the twenty-sxth Pennsylvania dis
trict Though that Is republican district Mr..
Scott represented it in the Forty-ninth and
Fiftieth Congresses and was the tariff reformer
and Cleveland man of Pennsylvania. He did
not run for this Congress. and Culbersou, one
of the strongest republicans i'll the district, was
elected. BY some secret manipulation
Mr.. Culberson was defeated for renomina-
ton. There ere now in the field a regular re-
publican candidate and a republican-alliance
candidate, and the democrats have fair chance
to carry the district. The democrats have not
made their nomination yet and every
body but Scott has been spoken
of for the nomination. 1t is
understood that Scott is purposely keeping out
OF the race until the last moment, when he will
come forward and get the nomination. Scott
can afford TO put much more money in the
contest than can Griswold. tho republican
candidate.
This, together with the presence of the re-
publican alliance candidate III the field. will
make SCOTS election pretty certain is he takes
the nomination. The controversy between
Quay and Mcdowell in the twenty fifth Penn
sylvana district and the scandal concerning
the nomination will probably send democrat
from that district.

THE PRESIDENTS COTTAGE.
He Declined to Accept IL 40 Q Gift, but
Paid for IL.

The facts relating to the transfer TO Mira
Harrison Of the cottage at Cape May Point, nov
occupied by the Presidents family, as learned
oy STAR reporter today, are quite different
from the statements on which criticisms Of the
propriety OF. the Presidents conduct In per-
hitting the acceptance of what was supposed
| TO De gift to Mrs. Harrison were based. The
fact has now just come to light that the cottage
Is absolutely owned by the President not by
virtue Of the generosity Of his Philadelphia
friends. but because he paid for it in solid cash
| to the tune Of $4,000 The real truth Of the
transaction. as the reporter was reliably i'm
! formed, Is just this: When the Philadelphia
gentlemen representing the donors OF the cot
tage-Mr Mexican and Mr.. Wanamaker-called
at the White House with the key of the cot
m2e and the deeds the President was at lunch,
entirely unconscious of any intention on the
part OF his friends to give him anything. He
was called into the red parlor, where he found
the two gentlemen explaining the plans Of
the cottage to Mrs Harrison. In few
words Mr.. Mexican told the President of the
gift and handed the key to his wife. Il
was trying moment. Confronted by such
generosity, and taken unawares, some men
might have lost presence Of mind, but the
President kept cool and after expressing his
warmest thanks to the gentlemen for the gift
and for their kind desires he said that he and
his family would very gladly occupy the cot
tage, but upon terms that should be determined
upon later. Thus did he give his acceptance
OF the present q condition of future reimburse
ment even before the fact of the gift had be-
come kpown at all. 1t was upon these terms
that Mrs. Harrison and the family first went
down to Cape May. Soon after their arrival,
with his original decision firm in his mind the
President set on foot q quiet investigation that
brought to him accurate information as to the
amount of money that had been expended in
the Investment and as soon as he was sure of
the sum he drew a check for $4,000 and for
warded it to MIR. Mexican with the request
that by its means the original purchasers
should be reimbursed for their outlay. Thus
he became actual owner Of the property.
This was not done, it is stated, in conse-
quence OF the criticisms that followed public
announcement of the presentation, for the
President gave notice OF his intention even be-
fore line had been printed about the matter.
He simply followed, as one of the Presidents
friends said today, an inviolable custom of his,
custom that he has adhered to for years,
both before and since his election, not to ac-
ccpt presents OF value from his friends Gus
tom that has been inspired by the feeling of
honor and pride which any gentleman has

Policeman Frank Burrows visited the vir-
ginia and District shores Of the river west of

clothing in the woods somewhere SO that they
would not be stolen and went in the river to
take a bath and was drowned
