Congressman Cannon Says
Revenues and Expenditures
Will Balance.
Frye Wants More Details
Than Blaine's Anti-Tariff
Letter Contains.
Gen. Nettleton Is Nominated
for Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Wanamaker Determined to
Establish a Postal Tele-
graph System.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 16.-Rep-
rosentative Cannon, chairman of the
house appropriation committee, is out
with statement tonight about the
revenues and expenditures of the gov
eminent during the current fiscal year,
in which he says the revenue will over
balance appropriations. The approDri-
atiOns for the year justly chargeable to
expenses for the current fiscal year
amount to s317. 100000. Of this amount.
at least $20,OOO,000 will not be ex-
pended during the current fiscal year.
which will cut the expenditures down to
$297,00O,OO0. To this sum. he says,
should be added the permanent appro-
priations, SOL. 500, 900 for the interest on
the public debt and to meet the require
ments of the sinking fund. making in
all $599. 900, chargeable against the
revenues for 1891. If the sinking fund
be deducted from this sum, there re-
mains 100000. The ordinary
revenues of the government for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1890, are
reported by the treasury at
O2.0S6.0O0. and under existing
laws there is no reason to antici-
pate less sum from the ordinary rev.
enues during the year 1891. The postal
revenues for 1891 are estimated by the
postmaster general at SEA. 1900, max
ing total of S467. 497, 900. Deducting
the aggregate appropriation of $780,
100000, there will be, Mr.. Cannon says,
a surplus of SLIT, 497, 900, which is more
than ample to meet heTequiremeuts of
the new pension law and the reduction
of taxation from the enactment of the
Mckinley bill. estimated at 0,000, 900.

ONE MAN PERSISTED.
Otto Reabe Lost His Life in the
Big Fire.

Otto Reabe Lost His Life in the
Big Fire.
1t is now generally believed that Otto
Reabe. young man aged about twenty
years who was employed by Wood q
Morse, and who was at work in the Sc
curity warehouse when the fire broke
out, persisted in the flames. Otto was
at work on the fifth floor sorting bind
ing Irvine and was the first to discover
the fire and give the alarm to Messrs.
Morse and Paulsen, who were taken
out of the window by the firemen. 1t
was supposed that Otto also escaped,
but no one has seen him since the fire,
and everybody is positive that only two
men were taken out of the fifth floor,
while it is known that three were there
after the smoke and fire had cut off all
escape by the stairway and ele-
vators. 1t was said that man
had jumped from the fifth story
to the roof of Dreere's pillow works. and
had received injuries which necessitated
his removal to the hospital. Chris.
house as billing clerk. is an uncle of
Otto's, and boarded with him at 1909
North Fifth street When Otto did not
return home Mr.. Witt became alarmed,
and when a careful inquiry at all the
hospitals in the city failed to disclose
his whereabouts, he was forced to the
conclusion that he had persisted in the
building. Mr.. Morse telegraphed to
Reabe's parents at Hokah, Minu., that
it was feared he was lost. The firemen
searched diligently in the ruins yester-
day, but failed to find the body. To-day
the search will be renewed. Reabe is
spoken of by his employees as being a
quiet, industrious young fellow who
had manv friends.

Police Court Notes.

Pearl Hatch, who has been before the
court once or twice on the charge of in
corrigibllity, was arraigned before
Judge Mahoney in the municipal court
yesterday on the complaint of her
father. Since her last appearance in
court Pearl had been leading wild
life. She was committed to the House
of the Good Shepherd. There was the
usual crowd of DRINKS and disorderlies
in the bull pen, who were disposed of
in the usual manner. One of them, who
had given an assumed name, had for
gotten it. AS it was his first 0ffense, he
was allowed to go upon the payment OF
$40. John p. Klarguist was fined S. for
using the city water while putting up a
building without first securing per-
NIT from the water department.. Henry

couple of hours, the court allowed them
to 20 home.

Sam Hills Idea,

To the Editor of the Globe.
Believing, Notwithstanding the news
paper statements to the contrary, that
the majority of the people of the cities
of ST. Paul and Minneapolis are honest,
and that they, in common with the
people of the whole state of Minnesota,
whose representation is thereby eff
fected, are deeply interested IN knowing
Just what the population of each city is,
| venture to offer the following:
az Its more important that friendly
feeling should exist between two such
close neighbOrs, and that they should
each have the others cordial cO.opera-
ton in building up the country west of
US, than that either should surpass the
other $4,000 or 50,0O0in population. (2)
Such feeling of jealousy and bitter
ness now exists that, for one
l am unable to tell just what
the real status of affairs is. 49,
Could not result be reached by new
count of both cities, which would COM
mand the confidence of both cities and
of the entire state? a. believe the re-
personal knowledge of nine people in
st. Paul who were not counted, and l
have reason to believe that this is only
one of many instances of omission in
both cities. o. believe that this can
be done through committee of three
from each city, acting jointly; for ex-
ample, such men as Hon. Alexander
Ramsey, George c. Squires and William
Lindeke, of st. Paul, and George r.
Newell,l ,Maj. G. B. Heffelfnger and
Fred G. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis men
whose integrity and standing are not
questioned. Co. This is not intended in
any way to interfere with the in
vestigation now being made by
the United States government in
the alleged frauds in either
city, but assert, without fear of con-
tradiction, that the conviction of any OF
all of the enumerators in Minneapolis or
st. Paul will not change or in the least
allay the excited feeling that now exists
in the minds of the citizens of Minneap-
oils and st. Paul, the one against the
other. Whereas, do think that if the
course outlined above is pursued, the
public mind will unheSitatingly accept
the result; and any result which is not
accepted by the public of both cities and
the state at large will be worthless. (O
If this suggestion meets your views
tavorably, will you not advocate it, and
ask the citizens Of each town to appoint
a joint committee and unite in request
to Supervisor Porter, through Senators
Davis and Washburn and Representa-
tive Snider. to secure recount of both
cities, under such auspices as will COM
mand universal acceptance OF the re-
suits obtained. Very truly yours,
SAMUEL HILL.

Blaine's Anti-Tariff Scheme Is Pc
WASHINGTON. July Ex-senator
Frye, in reply to Secretary Blaine's let
ter of the 18th inst. has written him as
follows: "Your letter leaves me in
some doubt as to facts. as
sumo that your views are con-
tanned in what is known as
the Hale amendment; that you know,
for instance, what the Latin republics
will receive of ours free from duty In
compensation for free sugar. L assume
that that amendment was the result OF
thorough investigation. The difficulty
about it is this: The amount Of-sugar
to be received from those states would
be comparatively small and the con-
sunler of sugar would receive no beneht
from it. Your letter to me extends this
idea of reciprocity to Cuba and Porto
Rico. | admit if sugar is received
free from these islands, as well as from
theLatin republics, the people would
be benefited and sugar would be prac-
tlcally free. But will Spain admit to
these islands. free of duty, the list OF
articles named in that amendment. VI
course we could not enact law more
favorable to Spain than to the repub-
lies. DO you know what Spain would
exchange for free sugar, and can you
give list of the articles she would re-
ceive? The better way probably would
be to make the list she would receive
the controlling one for all these coun-
tries"

OLD WAR RELICS.
Cannon Balls Embedded in a
Church Wall.

CnurCn w ALL
New York Sun.
Symbols of peace and war have curl
iOusly met in the outside brick wall of
quaint old st. Paul's church in Norfolk,
Va. The church is ISL years old. In the
Revolution the British playfully sent a
small cannon ball skipping over the
town. An angle of the church, which
juts out toward Church street, was in
the line of the trajectory and the can
non ball was stopped by it. 1t half
buried itself in the brick, half
way up to the roof and close to
the cornice. 1t is still there. lvies
have crept over the walls of the old edi-
fee, forming an impenetrable green
mat, through which not square foot of
brick is visible except in a little circle
about the iron ball. In the luxuriant
ivy thousand English sparrows nest.
and fill the neighborhood's ears with
their shrill chatter. The cannon ball is
handy thing for them to sit on. Not
less than half dozen cling like bees to
it in the warm sunshine constantly.
So thrifty is the ivy it IS hard to re-
strain it from encrOaching ON the space
about the cannon ball, but the sexton is
thrifty, too; he knows the money value
of the relic to him, for many people
visit the church to learn its history.
The sections little black-eyed daughter
leads the way into the cool, dusky, low
ceiled sanctuary. High-backed and
narrow are the unpretentious seats, and
there are many pluDging and eramped
little gallery lofts. The sections daugh-
ter has two recitations for the sanctu-
ary. She halts before one of the pewS
that flank side of the altar.
This is the pew Robert E. Lee occu-
pied when he was in Norfolk for a few
months" she says. sit is pew No. 15."
There is curious tenderness of tore
in the way they pronounce the name OF
General Lee, as if it might be the name
CT sweetheart. No Virginian says
Gen. Lee as Northerner calls Grant,
Gen. Grant, but always says Robert E.
Lee. To Virginian children Robert E.
Lee. evidently is what Abraham Lin
coin is to Northern children. In an
other part of the church is queer old
fashioned chair in which no one sits.
This is the chair" says the child
guide, in an odd recitation tone, ''in
which John Hancock sat when he signed
the Declaration Of Independence. 1t is
the property of the parish"
1t is common Old-fashiOned arm
less chair of hardwood frame, with
stuffed seat, and covered with fading
crimson cloth like plush"

A False Alarm About More

North Minneapolis After Bou-

The municipal election seems to have
been almost entirely lost sight of in the
discussion over the selection of guber-
Material candidate for the grand old
party, and no one has been mentioned
for the head of the city ticket on the
Republican side for several weeks past.
The Democrats, however, are taking a
greater interest concerning this office.
C.M. Foote is still in the field.and seems
to have retained the following that
came to him when his candidacy was
first announced. The return of P. B.
Winston to the city has had the effect
of creating strong desire on the part
of many of the best Democrats that he
will accept the nomination. Outside of
the feeling that honor is due to him be-
cause of the creditable fight he made
two years ago when the presidential
election made his cause hopeless one,
there are, doubtless. many who thought
he is undoubtedly the strongest man
that can be selected. Mr.. Winston has
been sounded upon the matter and SIM
ply says that he does not desire the
nomination or to enter into politics any
further than to contribute what aid he
can to his party in a general way. eff
was to be candidate for any Office"
he remarked the other day, II would
prefer to run for the legislature. A man
can do more for his party and city there
than as mayor. Still, / do not care to
accept the nomination for any Office"
Notwithstanding this, his friends and
admirers do not appear to be salts
fed that it is altogether hopeless task
to induce him to again run for mayor,
and think that if practically unani-
nous nomination is rendered him that
he would not find it in his heart to re-
fuse his party's call, with this end in
view some quiet work is being done In
his behalf, and it is claimed by those
who have felt the popular pulse that
nearly all the Democrats are warmly in
favor of insisting upon the nomination
being at least rendered him.
The only objection that has been
urged is that his business has called
him away from Minneapolis so much of
the time that he is not fully identified
with her interests. This is only partly
true. Mr.. Winston has had a large
railroad contract in Virginia during the
past year which has claimed large
share of his attention, but the
work is now approaching completion,
and he has not in any sense felt that he
has any other home than Minneapolis.
In the event of his election as mayor
he could, of course, so arrange his bust
ness as to permit Of his presence in
the city continually. so there seems to
be nothing that would prevent his NOM
ination and election if he can be pre-
vailed upon to accept.

Only Killing Flies.

There was plenty of excitement on
Nicollet avenue about 10 o'clock last
evening. One of the merchant police
noticed that the storeroom at 207 was
filled with smoke. He notified Lieut..
Coskran at the central station and an
officer was sent to investigate. The
smoke was there sure enough and tel
ephone message was sent from police
headquarters for a chemical engine.
The alarm was responded to by steam
er, two hose carts, a hook and ladder
truck, a chemical engine and fire
patrol wagon. The door was broken in
and half dozen firemen rushed in, but
came out just as quickly. Before clos
ing the place the proprietor had set fire
to quantity of sulphur with the eX-
pectation of killing off the flies.

The Merchants Don't Like 1t.

The commission merchants are some
what indignant at the action of the po-
lice commission in prohibiting the street
peddlers from running their stands.
Four carloads of bananas are now in
their stores and there is no sale for
them. Heretofore the New Orleans
shippers have found all excellent mar
keI in Minneapolis. The greater part
have been disposed of by the commits
sion merchants to the street vendors,
and now that their occupation is gone
the fruit remains in the hands of the
merchants and they have no market for
it. One of the merchants in speak
ing of the matter yesterday, said:
"The grocers are not selling a banana
more than they did before the dealers
were ordered to move on The
peddler trade was large and was almost
entirely an increased consumption.
The man who will stop and buy or
10 cents worth of bananas on the street
would never think OF entering store
to do SO. The commission men have
just as much reason to complain of the
market house farmers as the grocers
have of the peddlers, but we think
there is room enough for bOth.'
