vored elective boards. Mr.. Woodward
is prominently identified with the NAH
uel training movement in this country.
Supt. Greenwood, of Kansas City,
explained that the Kansas City people
kept the school board entirely
out of politics. Both political
parties Endorsed independent men.
This had been the plan for fifteen
years. 1t was adopted by leading men
of the two parties, because of what they
had heard of the school board manage
ment in Cincinnati and other places.
where the political bummers got on the
boards for the sole purpose of further
ing their own financial ends.
s DR.. Brown thought it was the duty OF
the council to influence the people on
this subject, rather than invoke legisla-
ton.
Prof Folwell, of Minnesota university,
favored elective boards.
DR.. White interpoSed with the state
ment that the part of the report under
discussion had been treated by them for
three years. Would it not be advlsa-
BILE to take up new feature introduced
in the repOrt-that relating to the plan
of work to be adopted by boards OF ed
ucatiOn?
DR.. Hinsdale read this portion of the
report, and enlarged upon the need for
the work of boards of education
to be rearranged. The superintendent
was not properly treated. He was
snubbed for giving his advice and
snubbed for not giving his advice.
There really should be something done
to end this folly and idiocy.
There was no keeping the discussion
in this line, for up bobbed Prof. Shell
don with fervent speech, advocating
the election of school boards. To shut
this sort of thing off. DR.. Hinsdale pro-
posed this resolution:
That this discussion be confined to the
question whether in cities of 100000 or up
wards it would be well to have this differ
entail organization.
This resolution was adopted. But
the discussion began to bore the MEM
berS, and one by one they left the hall,
until eventually but thirty people re-
NAMED.
DIR. Wright and DR.. Hinsdale got in
another speech. DR.. Hinsdale declared
the question was this: Whether, in
stead of electing so many officers, it

number to be elected, allowing them
to appoint certain number of officials?
He answered this in the affirmative. DR..
Hinsdale talked and the audience
thinned. This in no wise disconnected
the doctor. If only one man had been
left he would have continued to talk.
There was standing resolution that
speeches be limited to five minutes: DR..
Hinsdale spoke for nearly thirty min
uteS.
The session was adjourned at 5
o'clock. Another session will be held
this morning at 9 o'clock for the dis
cussion of executive and other business,
when the council will finally adjourn.

THE RIVER BILL.

Senator FRYE says that the river bill
now before congress is the best of its
kind that has ever been prepared. 1t
NAV be all that Mr.. FRYE claims for it,
and yet be an Indifferent kind of bill.
The fact is that congress has never
passed river bill on merit. 1t is usual
to go from one extreme to the other
either extravagant appropriations for
improving waterways in which there is
not water enough to float an Indian dug
out, or parSimonious cutting down Of
appropriations for improvements that
are absolutely necessary. The river and
harbor bill is apt to be the product of
log rolling, and usually consists of a
heaping together of lot of appropria-
lions without any intelligent regard to
the necessity for these appropriations.
1t would be marvel if congress should
ever pass a river bill founded on any
thing like the demands of an intelligent
system of waterway improvements.
And yet it ought to be the easiest mat
ter in the world to determine just what
appropriations congress would be justi-
fed in making, and where they should
be applied.
The principal harbors on the Atlantic,
the Pacific and the Gulf coast should be
kept clear; the Mississippi river and its
main tributaries, the Missouri and Ohio,
should have ali the money that is neces-
sary to keep navigation open; the
Great Lakes require a certain amount
of expenditure each year: and beyond
the appropriations for these purposes
congress ought to be able to determine
what additional appropriations, if any,
are needed. And yet the average river
bill displays less intelligent discrimina-
ton than any measure that passes con-
gress. and that is saying a good deal to
the disadvantage of the average river
bill.

WELCOME.

On behalf of the citizens of st. Paul
the GLOBE extends to the thousands of
teachers who assemble in our midst to-
day the heartieSt welcome; and we
wish to convey the assurance that this
is no mere formal expression of court
esy. When we say welcome we mean
that we are glad to see you-glad down to
the very bottom of our hearts-and that
the city and the freedom thereof are
yours as long as you tarry within our
gates.
The various committees that have
been appointed to look after the enter
tainment of our guests will endeavor to
see that all are comfortably accommo-
dated and pleasantly entertained. But
it will be beyond human power for
those committees to give individual at
tention to the many thousands who are
with us; hence, every citizen is pre-
pared to act as committeeman, and
each will do all in his individual power
Id eUI6Ildlu SlIdllS6lS.
We hope that our visitors will feel
privileged to call upon any citizen for
any information or for any extension of
courtesies that may be desired. If there
is anything that you want that is not in
sight, do not hesitate to ask for it. If
you are not being waited on in an &C
ceptable manner, remember it is be-
cause of the crowd and the work; so do
not hesitate to approach the first St.
Paul man you see and make your wants
known. You are here to be entertained
and we are here to entertain you.
With pardonable pride we refer to
the fact that there are many things in
st. Paul worth seeing, and we hope our
guests will embrace the opportunity to
see all that is to be seen.
We claim to have the handsomest city
on earth, and we want that claim con.
tirmed by your own opinion. Hence
our anxiety to have you see the city,
and to see all of it.
An observation of the railroad bust
ness done here and visit to the rail

POLICEMEN ON EDGE.
London Coppers Threaten to Go
on Strike.

Oh OGTlAcs
LONDON, July 1.-The constabulary
of the metropolitan police force through
their committee. telegraphed to Home
Secretary Matthews to-day substan-
TALLY as follows: Eat a meeting held
On Saturday it was resolved that you be
respectfully asked to reply to-day to the
moderate demands of our petition. If
your answer is in the affirmative dis
astrovs strike will be avoided. ALI the
that all of the men suspended will be
reinstated." The telegram was signed
by delegates from twenty one divisions.
In case strike is decided upon, all of
the divisions will hold mass meeting
in Bow street. The sShOpkeepers are
very much disturbed over the prospects.
The clerks of the various banks have
been ordered to remain at their posts all
night. ~
In anticipation of strike riotous
mob of roughs blocked up Bow street
and vicinity this evening, preventing
the constables from reaching the sta
ton. The crowd becoming turbu-
liant mounted officers endeavored
to clear passage and were received
with boots and, pelted with bags of
flour, sticks, etc. In one instance the
constables had to rescue fellow officer
who was attacked by the crowd. At
9 o'clock the Prince of Wales
escorted by the life guards, arrived at
the opera house. The crowd thickened
and the turbulence continued until a
late hour. A few persons were slightly
injured. The majority of the police
returned to duty as usual. The
strand and other thoroughtares were
better policed than usual owing to the
drafting of men from suburban divi-
sions to meet an emergency. The
Prince and Princess of Wales
and daughters left the the
alter at 1870 o'clock and
were loudly cheered, the crowd
singing HES Jolly Good Fellow"
Further drafts of life yards arrived to
preserve order. A saloon, which
was closed in consequence of
the excitement, was wrecked by the
mob and windows of other taverns were
broken. At midnight the crowd was
undiminished, and the hooting was TN
abated. A steady rain was falling. Re
ports from all the suburbs state that all
of the night police are on duty. The
home secretary, the chief of police and
other officials met at the Bow street sta
ton last night to discuss the position.

. 1T BLEW GREAT GUNS.
Terrific Storm of Wind and Rain
at New Orleans.


NEW ORLEANS, July IA storm of
considerable power broke out this fore
noon at IL O'Clock, and did quite an
amount of damage to buildings, tele-
graph and telephone poles and trees in
this city. In about an hour after the storm
had abated, Western Union telegraph
lines were repaired, but the telephone
wires were wrecked to such an extent
that days will be required to get them
in order. The wind came from the
northeast, then shifted to nOrths next
took quick veer nOrthweStward and
the storm broke with fury. Rain
fell in solid slanting sheets and
soon the streets were flooded. Some
telegraph and many telephone poles
were Frustrated In several parts of the
city, windows were broken and trees
uprooted. There were the liveliest kind
of times in the custom house shortly
after noon, and the interior
of the staunch old building
now presents a very deplor-
able appearance. 1t is liter
ally drowned out WOrkmen are build
ing a new observatory on the roof OF the
old building, while another gang of car
penters are repairing the roof. just
before the rain the carpenters stripped
the roof, near the corner Of North
Peters and Canal streets, of its
tin covering, and then tore up
the planks, leaving two open spaces
about thirty feet long and ten feet wide
each. Just about that time the storm
came up. 1t blew big guns and rained
in torrents. The roof being an inclined
one, the water poured through the
opening like miniature Niagara, and
soon flooded the entire front portion Of
the building, stream of water sew
eral feet deep came rushing down
the stairs from the third to the second
floor with the roar Of a cataract. The
water rapidly rose to fully six inches
deep i'm the corridors of the second
floor, and then soaked through, flood
ing the postoffice and running the
walls. The clerks in the marble hall
were surprised at this sudden rush
of water, but there was bigger
surprise than that in store for them that
occurred just about the time the waters
reached their floor. The wind was
whistling over the roof with fury that
was appalling, and the four half circles
on the old signal observatory were
whirling around at thousand
revolutions a minute. An UNI
usually heavy gust of wind
struck the scaffOlding around the new
observatory. 1t shook for second and
then fell with a crash through the
heavy plate glass that gives light to the
Marble hall. The noise could be heard
throughout the building.

vention. Mr.. Hail." asked the GLOBE
man.
mo, sir; there is not" was the en-
phatic reply. "Schetfer is out of the
question. He doesn't want the nomi-
nation, and his friends do not want him
to have it. He has said that he would
go on the stump. however, for any good
man nominated by US. / give you my
word that not word was said this aft
ernoOn about Mr.. Scheffer being can
didate before the farmers convention"
The Ramsey county friends of the
governor were canvassing the probable
result of the Normanna hall convention
this morning. and freely predicted its
result. The general opinion was that
the delegation would not be instructed
for any one. The wish may have been
parent to the thought in this instance,
however, as there is no question that
the Merriam workers would very much
prefer that the Hennepin county men
be sent over without any specific in
structions. In case this is the result of
the convention, there is no doubt that
there will be very small-siZed kick en-
tered by the Minneapolis men against
the denomination of Gov. Merriam.
as Merriam man stated it yesterday:
''When the Minneapolis delegates see
that their kicking won't do any good
they will take their medicine all right
and go in to get something out Of the
wreck. This talk about Minneapolis
cutting the governor very badly at the
election is all rot, too. Hennepin county
ha way of falling into line for any
one the Republicans nominate. Hav-
ing nine-tenths of the federal offices ap-
portioned to this state, they hadn't
ought to do otherwise. However, if they
want to kick. they can do it."
There will be some very slick work
done by the governors workers at the
Hennepin county pow-woW at Nor
mama hall this evening.
President Hall, of the Farmers AL

round trip from any point in the state.
In order to profit by this arrangement a
receipt for the money paid for the trans
pOrtation tickets must be countersigned
by Secretary Lathrop, of the Alliance.
