of voting for a man who had
the courage to vote for such measure.
Maj. Espy, of st. Paul, declared that
Mr.. Snider was the greatest man who
ever sat in congress-this, he said, had
come to him from personal friend.
Gen. Osborne, of Pennsylvania. who
had written him (Espy) that Mr.. Snider
was the ideal representative. The nOm-
inatiOn was then made by acclamation.
Calls for Snider resulted in the appoint
ment of committee, consisting OF
George w. Lamb and Col. A. K. KiefeE,
of st. Paul, and w. r. Morris, of Min
neapolis, which was detailed to bring
the candidate before the convention.
AS the captain was standing in an ante
room, he was soon introduced to the
delegates. His appearance was greeted
with applause.
He commenced his little talk with an
expression of his gratitude for the honor
which had been conferred upon him.
and declared that he had labored ear
neStly to perform all the duties Of his
office during the present session, and
said that if he had erred it should be
laid to his head and not to his heart
The present congress was hard-wOrk-
ing body which was laboring earnestly
to give the country some straight Re
publican legislation. The change in the
house rules was sanctioned on the
ground that at the commencement of
the session the house had only
three Of Republican majority,
and something had to be done
to get a quorum with which
to do business. The disability pensions
bill, the silver bill, the compound land
bill, the Torrey bankruptcy measure
and the original package measure were
referred to as samples of the work ac-
compllshed by the present congress.
The Mckinley bill, he said, was a COM
promise and would be found all right
when it got through the senate. The
Force bill, he said, was misunderstood
or it, too. would be heartily supported
by all Republicans. He regretted that
there was division of opinions upon it:
f. l.. McGhee, the cOlOred attorney OF
st. Paul, was called on for speech.
and gave the convention ''rattler."
The chairman was authorized to ap-
point a congressional committee con-
sisting of four members each from Ram
sey and Hennepin, three from Wash
ington and one from each of the other
counties in the district, these commit
teemen to be members of the congress
siOnal committees in the two new dis

Inquiry Into the Causes of the
New York Central Strike.

Inquiry Into the Causes of the
New York Central Strike.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Messrs. Pur-
cell, Robertson and Donovan, of the
state board of arbitration, to-day began
their investigation of the causes of the
strike on the New York Central & Hud-
son River railroad. Fl. Walter Webb,
third vice president of the company,
appeared with Frank Loomis. counsel
for the road. and Hamilton Harris, of
Albany. to advise him. Gen. Roger
A. Pryor was present as coun-
sci for the Knights of Labor. j.
]. Holland and a. Wright, of
the general executive board of the
knights, were also present. Vice Presi-
dent Webb was called and said: 'sThe
company has no controversy, nor has it
had with any of its employees. On Aug.
a number of our employees voluntarily
left our service. Since then their places
have been filled, and the road is Oper-
ated successfully. The cause alleged
for these men leaving was because 7S
men of the $4,000 on the road had beer
discharged because they were Knights
of Labor. These men were discharged
by my order for good and sufficient
cause. The company had right to dis
charge any of these men without giving
cause for so doing. On the 9th of Au-
gust j. j. Holland called upon me as a
representative of the Knights of Labor
to talk the matter over. | refused, and
have done so each time proposition
has been made to me since," On being
cross-examined by Gen. Pryor, Mr..
Webb said the men had been dis
charged
For Lack of Employment
and unsatisfactory service. His kuowl-
edge was obtained from the secret serv-
ice bureau of the road. Witness could
not produce the reports made by his
secret service, as they were:not now in
existence. A question by Gen. Pryor
as to whether the road had ever dis
cussed the policy of employing K. of l..
was not allowed by the board. Mr..
Webb was then asked when he first ar
ranged for the employment of Pinker-
ton men. Mr.. Harris objected, but the
board held that the employment of
special policeman to protect its prop
erty was matter of public interest and
not private matter, as held by the
counsel. Thereupon Mr.. Harris di-
being asked if he ever requested aid
and protection from the police before he
employed Pinkerton men, Mr.. Webb said
that he had not. This ended the testi-
mony for the Central. William A.Valen-
tine, master workman of assembly 10, 500
and one of the discharged employees,
was the first witness for the knights.
The witness received a written COM
munication from the assistant superin-
tendent which stated that his services
would not be required after Aug. 4.
Then, in rambling way, the witness
told how he had been cautioned not to
appear too prominently as K. Of L., as
it would interfere with his promotion.

JUST IN TIME TO Do GOOD.
Abundant Rains Help Corn, Po-
tatOes and Pastures.

tatOeS and Pastures.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The Farmers Re-
view in this weeks issue will say: The
abundant rains which have recently
fallen almost generally throughout the
West have had a good effect upon all
late planted corn. Pastures, too, have
materially revived, and now give prom
ise OF a fair amount of feed for fall use.
In Illinois the rains came too late to
help early corn, and only that growing
on bottoms or very late planted has
been benefited. Fruit prospects are
very bad, indeed, with the exception OF
grapes, which promise an unusually
good yield. In Wisconsin there has
been an abundance of rain,
but frost is feared, as in
many parts of the states the
weather has been much too cool for this
time of year. Apples are poor crop;
grapes good; pastures in very fair con-
ditiOn. Indiana has suffered severely
from drouth. but rains have recently
few places. Fruit is almost total
failure, peaches especially. Fruit pros
poets. while not good in Michigan, are
much better than in Indiana, and prices
are pleasing the growers. In Ohio fall
plowing is now being accomplished as
fast as possible. Pastures are again
quite green. Fruit is less than half
crop. Missouri makes good report on
fruit compared with the other states al
ready named. Apples are half crop
berries have yielded well; grapes about
an average. In Iowa chinch bugs have
done much damage in Bremen county.
Throughout the state apples are scarce,
and grapes are only a fair crop. In
Minnesota frost has done damage to
corn and potatoes in Polk. Hennepin
and Stevens counties. Fruit prospects
are very poor. Nebraska makes very
bad report, owing to drouth. Thresh-
ing returns from our correspondents
summarized make the yield of spring
wheat in seventeen Minnesota counties
IL bushels per acre. In Iowa liz bush
els per acre i'll thirty-two counties, and
in Nebraska, 1879 bushels per acre in
sixteen counties. From the reports of
correspondents in the different states,
the following summary as to the con-
dition of corn and potatoes as compared
with an average, has been complied:

Second Great Strike of Chicago
Carpenters.

second Great SCrlke or ChlCagG
Carpenters.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2-The second great
strike of the carpenters in this year
went into effect this morning. Of the
5000 members of the craft in the city
less than 1000 resumed work to-day. and
by tonight it is expected that most of
those will have joined the strikers. The
strike is much more general than had
been Anticipated by either of the en-
ploying associations. and far more unan-
imous than the promoters of it had
hoped for. The men demand the eight
hour day. 37115 cents an houf, and arbi-
tration of all disputes. The strike diff
fers from the one inaugurated last May
in that any contractor that comedies the
terms demanded will be furnished men
by the carpenters council. Last spring
the carpenters refused to treat with the
contractors except as an association.
The carpenters council in executive
session to-day decided that all union
men in the employ of bosses paying 3715
cents per hour and allowing the eight
hour day should at once return to work.
President O'Eonnell. of the council,
claims that over 1900 union men have
gone to work under this decision als

Texas Republicans Think of Nom

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 2.-The
city is rapidly filling with Republicans,
and around the hotels is already seen
an unusual stir and activity as the poll
ticians hold informal caucuses and dis
cuss the plans of organ izations and pro-
ceeding. All seems to be harmoniously
enough on the surface, and the whites
and the colored brethern seem
to dwell together in peace. There is,
however, very plainly an undercurrent
of bitter feeling between the two fac
tiOns. The Republicans will hold
caucus tonight to arrange for the seiec-
ton of temporary and permanent Of
ficers. Charles w. Ogden, of San An
tonic, is spoken Of as permanent chair
man, and s. G. Mccoy for temporary
chairman. The league will also hold
caucus and name those they desire to
have chosen for temporary and per-
manent officers. 1t is probable that
there will be but two candidates for
nomination for governor, Webb Han
nagan and Judge Rector.

ocratic majorities over last year
already mentioned. The increase is
specially large in the white coun-
ties, while opposition majorities
In the negro counties. except Jefferson,
show decrease. The majority for Gov.
Eagle and the Democratic state ticket
will not fall below $4,000, and a still
larger figure is claimed owing to the al
most uniform heavy gains. The legis-
lature will be overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, thus ensuring the reelection of
James K. Jones as United States sena-
tor, he having no Democratic opposi-
tion. No reports of disturbances at
polls from anywhere IN the state.

cit is all right but the amount" he
said, with smile. MAKE the amount
s5OO,OOo and it will be just right. Yes,
Mr.. Hill has given that amount. and St.
Paul will soon have the finest theolog-
ical seminary in the country. 1t will
be purely theological. st. Thomas
seminary is now both classical and the
illogical, and the new institution will
greatly relieve the pressure on the old
one. Its facilities will be unlimited, as
far as students are concerned"
"When will this plan be consum.
mated?"
"Mr. Hill has had this donation in
contemplation for some time, but it is
only very recently that he reached the
determination, but it will be carried
into effect practically at once.- Ground
will be broken early in the spring, work
pushed and the institution dedicated
early in 1892. We wish to open it at
that time because that will be the fif-
tieth anniversary of the dedication of
that small chapel from which st. Paul
derives its name."
.'HaS the site been selected?''
''Not yet, or at least no announce
ment can be made at this time. The
selection was left entirely with me, and
will be made as soon as possible"
1t was intimated in other quarters
that TIE site would be commanding
one on the bluff overlooking the Mis-
sissippi river in the Midway district.

AIDED BY THE ENGINEER,
Highwaymen Hold Up a Louisville
& Nashville Train.

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 2.-The Louis
vile & Nashville cannon ball train,
which left Mobile at o'clock last night,
was held up at Big Escambia bridge,
half mile north of Pensacola junction,
by robbers. who entered the express
car and compelled the messeng er to
give up the contents of his safe. 1t is
not known just at this time the exte Mt
of the loss. Having secured the valu-
ables, the robbers jumped off and too k
to the woods. The first news of he
robbery received in Mobile by the rail-
way officials was but meager. The
train was held up about half a mile
above Flomaton Junction, and the
people there know very little of
what occurred, for the train
was delayed seven minutes only and
there was not much chance Of learning
what had occurred. Engineer Bob
Sizer says that he was pulling out of
Flomafon, and just as his train. which
is the through express from New Or
leans, got under way he turned around
and saw man standing near him. Be-
fore he could ask a question or look
twice two big revolvers were in his face.
he was told to run his train up to the
Escambia river bridge, some miles dis
tant and stop on the bridge. There was
nothing left for him to do, and he did
SO. There the train stopped on the
bridge. The engineer was told to get
off his engine and did so. Then the
robber directed SiZer to go to the
express car and force an en-
trance. The robber put a heavy
mallet in Steers hand, and he
burst open the car door. Express Mes
senger Archie Johnson was standing in
his car with his pistol in his hand, but
seeing SiZer he lowered it. The next
minute he was covered and told to lay
down his gun and he Obeyed. Then the
robber, standing in the car door, COM
PEELED the messenger to open his safe
and hand him all the money. While
this operation was going on the fellow
was standing in the door coolly looking
at his victim and firing first to one side
OF the train and then the other to over
awe the passengers and the train crew.
When he got the money tine robber told
Sizer to follow him. The man showed
out, and, with parting shot and a
wild yell, dashed off in the bushes
and was lost to sight. A posse has
left Flomaton. and another has left Mo-
bile in pursuit of the robbers. Some
surprise is expressed here that the rob-
bers selected this particular train, as it
is well known that the other trains
carry the most of the express money;
No. 6, the robbed train, carrying very
little at any time, and small amount
OH this occasion. 1t is said Rube Bur-
rows was recently seen in Florida. and
there is possibility that he ordered the
assembly of mis- gang at FIomaton, and
Joined them there to Superintend the
proper conduct of the affair, but this
robbery looks more like the work of the
celebrated Capt. Bunch.

LARGE DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
High License Is the War Cry They
AdOpted.

RUTLAND, Vt, Sept. 2.-Election
passed off quiet and smoothly, except
for town representatives, for whom
fourth ballot is now progress
Ing, and the result will not
be known till late. P. W. Clement,
president of. the Rutland railroad, Re-
publican candidate, being the leader of
the high license movement in Vermont,
is bitterly opposed by small minority
of Republicans, who are strong Prohbi-
tionists and determined to elect
the Democratic candidate (also high
license) by voting for third
candidate. County returns are very
meager, but probably one Democratic
senator is elected, and there are very
significant gains by Democrats of rep
resentatives in the legislature. General
returns of the state show large Demo-
cratic gains in the house wing, and
many high license Republicans are
elected.

Republicans HumiIiated by His
Break in Congress.
TUscoLA, ILL.,, Sept. 2.-The effects of
the speech made in congress On Wednes-
day last by Congressman Cannon, and
the disgraceful scene following, have
just begun to be. felt throughout his
home district. Both Republicans and
Democrats alike censure him in strong
language, and the bad break he made
will cost him great many votes among
the better class of people, who feel that
the Fifteenth district has been disgraced
and Inundated by its representative.
The outlook at present is that he will
lose every county in his district but Yer
million, and the majority in that Will be
greatly reduced. Gen. Busey, the Demo-
cratic nominee, will get the soldier vote,
as he has fine war record, while being
a farmer will command him the votes of
that class. There are fourteen Republi-
can newspapers ii the district that re-
fuse to support Cannon, and they have
a wide influence.
