Nothing occurred in st. Paul yester-

Everybody is patiently awaiting the
return of the delegation from Wash

MILAN, Capt. Castle and Mr.. Cullen are
en- route direct from Washington, and
Mr.. Lawler and Mr.. Mum are on the
road from Clinton, N. Y. They will all
reach st. Paul to-day, with the salts
faction of having accomplished abso-
lutely everything that they had been
assigned by the citizens executive
committee to do. They have secured an
order for the rigid prosecution of every
body charged with conspiring against
the census laws, and have succeeded
in getting the prosecution practically
out of the control of United States Dis
trict Attorney hay. None of the local
committee received communication from
the delegation yesterday, nor did they
expect to. 1t is known to the delega-
ton that everything has been fully re-
ported in the papers, and therefore it
has been unnecessary for the delega-
tion themselves to acquaint the commit
tee with occurrences from day to day.
A meeting of the citizens committee
will be held to-day with Mr.. Mum, Mr.
Lawler, Capt. Castle and the others.
and a definite plan for further action
will be arrived at.

blown from the floors, and furniture

the time.

NEW YORK, June 29.-FOur cattle
men, who were robbed of their wages
in London by boss cattleman, arrived
here tO-day-stowaway on the steam
ship City of Chester. They were Peter
Quinn, William Harrington, John Doyle
and Joseph Benton. The men had
crossed on the tramp steamer Waverly

London, they say the boss cattleman
collected their wages and fled.
They were obliged to pawn
their clothes to reach Liver

on the City of Chester. They remained
in the hold four days without food or
water. On the fifth day they came on
deck and told the chief officer their
story. They said at the barge office
to-day that they were American clti-

Minneapolis at the last presidential

Minneapolis at the last presidential
election is amusing. 1t first stated in
corner cards and in various other places
in the paper that the vote of Minneapo-
lis was $4,000. Its attention having
been called to the palpable error, it did
not correct it, but said with flourish
that the vote of Hennepin county was
nearly $4,000 and that of Ramsey but
$4,000. Will the Tribune become honest
about minute, and state that Henne-
pin county is one of the largest in the
state and has twenty-five postoffices out
side of Minneapolis, whereas Ramsey
county is the smallest in the state, has
but three postoffices outside of st. Paul,
and the county outside of the city casts
but little more than 1000 votesp The
questions of relative vote, school chill
dren and population of the two cities
are not at issue. however. What the
people of st. Paul and the rest OF the
state of Minnesota want to know now,
and with due celebrity, Is, how much
was the Minneapolis census padded?

STRIKING FREIGHTMEN.
The Situation at East ST. Louis
UNCHANGED.


ST. louis, June 29.-The situation in
the freight handlers strike in East st.
Louis remains about unchanged. The
strikers held meeting to-day and de-
cided not to accept the terms offered by
the railroads, and are determined to
stay out until the roads come to terms.
The latter have few green hands at
work, but very little is being done
in the freight houses, as the new
men know little or nothing
of the work required of them.
1t is stated also that should the roads
not accede to the strikers demands, the
transfer drivers and other members
of the American Federation Of Labor
who are Immediately concerned in the
freight handlers movement, will join
the strikers tomorrow. Another rumor
current tonight is that should the
threatened move on the part of the
transfer drivers prove true, the roads
will accede to the demands made by the
freight handlers. The superintendents
are to hold a meeting tomorrow morn

BEN is FOR THE BILL.
The President Anxious to Sign the
Election Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Sunday
Herald to-day, commenting on Presi-
dent Harrison's attitude toward the fed
Grafton election bill, says: president
Harrison has heretofore been given the
credit of at least deprecating, if not of
actually opposing. the passage of the
dangerous federal election bill now un-
der discussion in the house. 1t has been
believed that he was statesman enough
to discern the evil tendencies of the
scheme. and sufficiently patriotic to
frown upon the centraliZing and un-
American clique which has forced
most of the Republicans in the
hodse into accepting the bill.
But yesterday the president took
domination of the Reed wing of the
party and in favor of the bill. He
thinks there is still saving power for
his party in the bloody shirt, and not
ouly wants the bill passed but wants it
done quickly, so that the cry of South
ern OutrageS' may be used in the COM
ing congressional campaign, ito fire the
Northern heart and distract attention
from the queer record of the party in
congress on silver, and the growing dis
sensions Oh the tariff question. A gen.
tleman who in the past has held very
close official and personal relations with
the president related the substance
of an interview between him and
the chief magistrate to Her.
aid representative yesterday morn
ing. 1t opened with an amusing
declaration by Gen. Harrison that under
no circumstances would he interfere,
even by the remotest suggestion, out
side of an official message, with the ac-
tion of congress. Then the president
continued: If they pass the federal
election bill. will sign it as soon as it
is presented to me for my consideration.
want them to psss that bill, and
don't care who knows it, Subsequently
the president said he had. in desul-
tory way, advised his friends in both
houses of congress to proceed as rapidly
as possible with the final enactment of
the bill, so that it might become ques-
tion of discussion in the coming cam
paign.'"
