oom1rG WEEK IN ConGaRss.

Measures to be Consldered In She House ana Senate - The Sherman Anti.Trust Hill in she senate - The Worlds Fair Bill to be Taken Up Tuesday-The Tariff Blll Expected to be Reported to the Senate During the
 Week.
 WASHINGTON, March 23.-The committee authorized to be appointed at the recent con- ference of republican senators has decided upon an order of business for the senate that will probably be executed in accordance with it's recommendations. The committee con- sists of Messrs. Edmunds, Sherman, Allison, Platt, Teller, Cullom and Dolph. In accor- dance with their recommendation the con- alteration of the Sherman antitrust bill will be resumed tomorrow. The author of the measure hopes to reach vote before ad- journment, but that Is hardly probable, in order to sconomize time in debate as we'll as to prevent the continued obstruction of business by permitting bill to hold its place at the head of the calendar indefinitely. It Is proposed by the committee on order of business that bill once taken up for discus- sion shall be considered without unnecessary interruption or delay until 1t shall have been disposed of.
 The dependant pension bill is second on the list and will be called up, it is expected, Tuesday or Wednesday. The bill on the calendar is identical in it's provisions with the one vetoed by President Cleveland, An effort will be made to substitute for 1t what is known as the Morrill, bill. This provides for disability pensions and service pensions to all soldiers who have reached the age of sixty-two years.
 Later in the week the administrative custom bill, reported last week from the committee on finance, will be taken up and this, members of the committee believe, will be as much as the senate can dispose of in one week. After these measures on the order of business, the Jones silver bill and la7d grant forfeiture bill will follow.
 In the morning hours the bill to admit will hardly come to a vote this week. The majority and minority reports upon the Mon tana election case will be presented to the senate tomorrow. Action upon this, hew- ever, will be postponed until they are printed and examined by the senators.
 The discussion is not expected to begin be- fore next week at the earliest.
 To morrow will be devoted by the house to the consideration of measures reported by the committee on the District of Columbia, which embrace none of general interest except that proposing the establishment of a national park on Rock creek.
 The worlds fair bill will be taken up Tuesday, probably under an iron clad order requiring final action upon it that day. A lively debate is certain to ensue. Some of the New York and St. Louis people fancy they see in the proposition to postpone the fair until 1893 an opportunity to reconsider the action of the house in selecting Chicago az the site. The remainder of the week will probably be devoted to the discussion of the bills to admit the territories of Wyoming and Idaho to statehood. The long deferred tariff bill is expected to be reported to the house during the week.

of other things that couldn't for the
life of me understand. Finally the
horses were started, and in spite of my
self was interested. A very accommo-
dating young man whom my friend Cal
Goodrich informed me was 'tout,"
explained how things were managed.
He was apparently we'll informed, and
after what he explained was a
selling race. l accompanied him to the
course, where horse was standing,
while number of men formed a ring
around him and the Judge was making
a speech. Now l had occupied the
same seat with the judge in the train
on the way to the track, and we had
truck up very pleasant acquaintance,
so l was not surprised when he recog-
nized me as the young man as l APP
preached and greeted me with little
nod. Hoping to impress my companion
with my Importance and to let him
know that l was on intimate terms
with so important parsonage as a
judge Of a'horSe race. l returned his
Salutation with bow that could not be
mistaken. Then / heard him say
''Sold to Mr.. Blank, of Minneapolis, for
81, 50O." That was my name and real
lied that had unwittingly bought race

surprise the crowd had dispersed, and I
was standing in front of the animal
which now belonged to me, and the col

to know what to do with him. | didn't
know, but the tout did. "Take him
over to the STABLE" he commanded.

would probably cost $50. Just then a

Tuesday evening next the first enter
tainment will be held, commencing at
9o'elock. The affair is intended as an
informal opening and the programme
will be an attractive one. The social
features have all been attended to. and
aside from the music that will be in at
tendance, there promise to be other ar
engagements which will make the affair
well worth attending. The champion
oarsmen, who have been rowing at Du-
luth, will be present, and will add to
the social features of the evening. Men,
bers will also have splendid oppor-
tunity to see a boxing contest between
Harry Webber and Jimmy Griffin. Web
Der will be remembered as the young
man who gave Needham such hard
tussle some years ago, and Griffin made
quite reputation for himself while out
at the coast. The young men are both
quite scientific, and will no doubt give
pretty exhibition for the valuable
trophy which the club will give to the
winner. Already letters are being re-
ceived from out of town from people
wishing to join, and the new venture is
bound to be success.
When the club house is entirely COM
pleted the directors intend to give
formal opening that will be great af
fair in its way. In all probability a
supper will be given, using the gym
nasium for the purpose, and several
hundred people could be seated with
out any trouble. Other features will
be arranged as soon as practicable,
among which are wrestling matches.
billiard match and contests of all de-
scriptions.
The unusual cheapness of the affair
is what recommends it more than, any
thing else. The membership fee was
placed at but $40, and the dues at only
$3.50 per month. This pays for all the
privileges, including baths and iDstruc-
ton in athletics from Prof. John Don
aldson, who has been secured by the
club as manager of athletics. Mr.. Don
aldson is we'll known. not only in Mill
neapolis, but throughout the country,
and the club has great confidence in his
ability. He will undoubtedly have
large class as soon as the athletic feat
ures are started. 1t is probable that
there will be quite crowd Tuesday
evening, and it is hoped that all will
come before Tuesday and get their
membership tickets. AS for the club
itself, the success of the venture is be-

A BRACE OF DIVORCES.
The Matrimonial Infelicity CaIen-
dar Growing Lighter.

dar Growing Lighter.
Judge Smith was on the bench at the
district court yesterday, and dealt out
large packages of qualification to the
remOrSelesS wives who assembled be-
fore the dignified tribunal wherein JUS
tice is served on silver salvers. 1t was
not very heavy day for divorces, and
the petitions that are coming before the
district court asking for divorces are
getting considerably less than they
were year or so ago. There is a per-
ceptable change-for the better.
The first case to come up was that of
Mary Karizek VS.. August Karizek.
These people live on farm near town
and up to a few months ago have re-
sided together there. They were mar
Tied Oct. 20, 1878, and have two children.
The woman is So years old and the hus-
band Al. 1t seems that August was
drinking little too muchnow and then,
and occasionally chased his wife and
hired girl with gun, and soaring them
in other ways. Judge Smith granted
the divorce, and the mother Will take
care of the children.
The next case was that of Margaret
Mclean versus her husband. Joseph
Mclean. Mrs. Mclean said that she
was 80 years of age, and was married to
her husband in Iowa in 1880. He is a
paperhanger by trade. She tells a sad
and pitiful tale of the experiences to
which she has submitted for the sake of
her three little children for the past five
years. Her husband, she says, has
been habitually drunk, and when he
came home at night, crazed with the
deadly poison which SO brutalizes all
human instinct, he would slap and beat
his children and abuse his wife. He
also refused to clothe the little ones,
which necessitated her pawning her
family heirlooms for that purpose. All
the available property was turned into
whisky by the drunken husband. 1t
was sad tale, and Judge Smith did not
hesitate to grant divorce.

At the present time the club numbers
800 members, among them some of the
best-known business and professional
men in the city, and not few from ST.
Paul. 1t is gratifying to note the num-
Der of representative men who came
forward as soon as they were sure that
the club was to be operated on bus
iress basis, and joined the new enter
prise. One of the good features about
the Twin City Athletic club quarters is
their closeness to the center of the city.
Business men can step in from their
business at any time, take their daily
exercise. jump into bath and finish
with shower, and if they wish take
their dinner afterward, and feel re-
freshed and invigorated, without having
but a few steps to walk back to their
place of business.
Another thing in its favor is the ar
engagements made for comfort. The
most ample ventilation has been figured
on, and the gymnasium will always be
a cool place in su MINER, and free from
any unpleasant Odors. as the ceiling is
high, and fine draught of air is Sc
cured. In the winter the steam can be
regulated to perfect temperature. The
building is nearly completed, there be-
ing only the finishing work to be done.

Minneapolis has ever and will always
be prepared to come to the front.
Foa many years Minneapolis was
witheutsa club of any sort that made
general athletics predominant feature,
but after time the Minneapolis Ath-
letic association was organized and a
gymnasium fitted up. The club did
very we'll in its way, but it was gener-
ally conceded that the club quarters
were hardly elegant enough to repre-
sent minneapolis before the world, and
several efforts were make at different
times to organize club that would be
worthy of the city it, represented.
Finally. a few gentlemen who have
been foremost in local athletics ,sfor
some time got together and organized
the Twin City Athletic club. Somany
faffifreS had been made in organizing
clubs ofsthc same sort. that the public
was atifirstl aIittle slow in coming to
the front, but.after weeks time some
eighty members had been secured, and
it was intended to lease the Russell
block. on Fifth street, for club house.
This idea WAS finally abandoned, and: IL
was proposed that the club rooms i'll the
Harris theater9 be leased, After long
delibefafIoD this IDEA was finally aban-
d0Ifed in favor of one considerably
more feasible.

1t is stated that the new brewers
union has determined to erect a large
combination brewery, on line with the
proposition of the Orth people. The
building is to be placed on Thirteenth
avenue and Marshall streets. the por-
ton of the plant now occupying the
East side being removed after the new
brewery is IN operation, while the prop
erty will be turned into building lots,
upon which dwellings are to be erected
for the accommodation of the employees.
The union expects to increase the
capacity of other breweries in the asso-
citation, and the improvements are
planned to begin about the same time
as those on the Orth plant are taken in
hand. The aggregate increase OF out
put will amount to fully $4,000 barrels,
representing an advance ing net profits
of fully $4,000. allowing for the extra
expense incurred by the materials made
necessary by the change. All the local
firms say their business has been larger
during June and this portion of July
than for any previous months since
their establishment, and that this per-
ceptible advance made extensions an
absolute necessity.

The scandinavian Reformers.

The Scandinavian Reform league held
a meeting at Cullom's hall, corner of
Lake street and Cedar avenue. The at
tendance was large, although. but short
notice had been given. Professor Ney-
wal, of the Swedish Mission Tabernacle,
gave an address in the Swedish Ian
guage upon the subject of monopoly and
trusts as affecting the rights of citizens,
rather than as political question. He
was followed by Mr.. Peterson with an
address on temperance, delivered in the
Norwegian language, and both were re-
ceived with close attention by all pres
ent. 1t was supposed that the meeting
would take some elton upon the nomi-
nations made by tse Republican state
convention, but gentlemen prominent
in the league insist that it issin no sense
political organization, and representa-
tives of all parties are admitted as mem-
bers. Its object is to discuss subjects of
interest to all classes of citizens.
