He spoke briefly, and brief speeches
were made by Gov. Francis, of Missou-

letters were received from prominent
Americans who had been invited to at

Gen. Sickles paid long visit

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The senate
this morning passed the senate bill to
authorize the leasing of school lands in
Oklahoma. Mr.. Plumb explained the
bill. The leases are not to be for
longer period than five years, and the
necessity for the bill arises out Of the
fact that .hOmeSteaderS have settled
upon these lands not knowing that they
were school lands, and that special
agents from the general land office have
been serving notice on the settlers to
remove from the lands Immediately.
mittee on the legislative bill, reported
that the committee had been unable
to agree with the house cOnfereeS, the
particular item of disagreement being
that of clerks for senators and their
compensation. He doubted If any agree
ment could be reached on anything but
the house bill. After some discussion
new conference was ordered. A re-
port of the conference committee on the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
was presented and discussed, the sub
ject being street railroad fares In the
District of Columbia. The report was
disagreed to, and new conference COM
mittee appointed. A deficiency bill for
the pay and mileage OF senators was re-
ported and passed. A conference was
ordered on the agricultural appro-
priation bill. The Idaho bill was
taken up, and Mr.. Vance made a
long speech in opposition to the bill.
tional steps by the people of Idaho for
admission to statehood had not been
taken, and that the territory did not
have population sufficiently large to
entitle it TO admission to the Union. At
the close Of Mr.. Vance's speech in op-
position to the Idaho bill, the bill was
passed without division. The confer
ence committee on the legislative ap-
preparation bill reported that the house
refused to agree to a senate amendment,
and declined further conference. The
only alternative was failure of the bill
or recession on the part
of the senate. Mr.. Dawes moved
that the senate recede, and that
motion led to long discussion on the
subject of clerks and compensation.
The senate finally refused to recede.
This means that unless the house or
senate recOnsiderS Its action of to-day,
the legislative bill will fail and new
legislative bill will have to be prepared
and passed. Mr.. Hiscock moved re-
consideration of the vote by which the
senate determined on action, and that
motion is now pending. Mr.. Reagan
addressed the senate on his bill to pre-
vent transportation of merchandise in
bond through the ports and territories
of the United States into the Republic
of Mexico, and to restore the privilege
whenever the ZOna Libre has been
abolished. After short secret session
the senate at o'clock adjourned till to-
morrow.

A Ne'er-Do-WeH Shot by an Ex-
Policeman.

A Ne'er-DO-WeH Shot by an Ex-
Policeman.
NEwBURGH, N. Y, July 1.-This city
was the scene of intense excitement to-
night. George, alias Tony Sarvis,a young
criminal charged with innumerable
crimes committed in this vicinity, and
for whose capture reward of 500 was
offered, was shot and fatally wounded
by John Leveson, who recently resigned
from the police force of this city. On
Sunday night last two daring highway
roDberieS were committed in the streets
of NeWburg. and by three masked men.
1t was believed that Sarvis was one Of
the robbers, and. as there was a war
rant standing against him for shooting
at police officer recently, the
marshal of the city decided to
offer a reward of $100 for his
capture. Leveson, knowing that Sarvis
was in the city, made an attempt to cap
ture him tonight. When the two men
met shots were exchanged. Leveson
was shot in both legs, and one of the
bullets is still embedded in the flesh.
Sarvis was shot in the lower part of the
body, and also in the left hand. 1t
is believed that he may die. The
coroner has taken his ante-mortem
statement. "Tony'' Sarvis has
long been a desperate fellow. He
has been identified with a gang of GRIM
inals known here as the Bridge ban
dts" This gang has been guilty of
almost every conceivable crime. TONY"
was at one time known as the king of
the bridge bandits. He has served time
in state prison for burglary.

sUPERIoR's BIG STRIKE.
Six Hundred Sewer Men Want
More Wages.

Special to the Globe.
SUPERIOR, Wis.,, July 1.-Acting on
orders issued at secret meeting held
recently, 600 sewer laborers, street men,
excavators and lumber yard men struck
this morning, and are now out. All
public work in the city is at a stand
still, and the fight promises to be hard
one. The bricElayers and masons are
the only ones who are not out, and it is
probable they will go out tomorrow.
The strike began this morning, when
thirty labOrers employed by Forrestal
Bros. on Winter street sewer demanded
an increase from Sl.75 to SO per day,
The demand was refused. and the men
at once proceeded to Bay street and
Cummings avenue and induced the re-
mainder of FOrreStal'S men. nearly 200
in number, to go on strike. Encouraged
by their success in getting so large a
number together, the crowd moved
on toward other streets where
similar work was in progress. Rhodes
& Rogers works, with about 100 men,
and Kirkland & Starkey's, with about
seventy men, were also successfully
visited. At noon the strikers reached
Banks avenue, where John Gleason &
Son are building sewer. This firm had
dUOuG SiXIy-uVo meu employed, ana Ine
foreman gave the men their time. Con-
tractor SuttOn'S men, on Twelfth street
grading, went out, and all public work
at the west end of town was stopped.
The bricklayers and teuders are the
only men who did not leave the sewers
this afternoon. They quit tonight
Rhodes & Rogers state that their men
are ready to go to work tomorrow
morning at the old price The con-
tractors with one accord declare that
they cannot afford and will not pay to
exceed S1.75 per day. The strikers were
very orderly, and except where Shovels
were taken away from workmen there
was no violence. Citizens are favorable
to the strikers. but will permit of no
lawlessness. Unless the matter is set
tied by noon tomorrow serious trouble
is feared. The strikers are quiet and
orderly tonight. In case they begin
drinking, Mayor Patterson will close
every saloon in the city.
This evening the contractors had a
meeting and by unanimous vote de-
cided not to give in to the strikers.
This makes certain long, hard fight,
and it is feared that serious trouble will
follow tomorrow unless considerable
diplomacy is used.

F. G. Winston, of Minneapo-

of the Pioneer Press.
The Blow, However, Does Not
Bring Blood or Stagger
the Newspaper Man.
Prospects That the Flour City
Contractor May Hear
Further Of 1t.
No Arrests Yet Reported in
Cases Against Minneapo-
lis Conspirators.

E'I had supposed. sir, that l was con-
Rersing with gentleman, not with a
blackguar6." The above sentence was
addressed to F. G. Winston, of the firm
of Winston Bros, railway contractors,
by Frederick Driscoll Sr. as the two. in
company with President Charles Mich
OILS, of the Minnesota Loan and Deben-
ture company, stood together in the
business Office of the Pioneer Press
yesterday afternoon. Having delivered
himself of the above remark in coolly
deliberate voice, Mr.. Driscoll lit cigar
and turned his back upon the South
erner, and stalked away to a cable car,
the advent of which he had been await
ing when the dispute to be described
arose. Winston glared after him for a
moment, then gathered up his cane and
papers and departed by another door.
The scene given above was the final act
in the harmless drama which had been
witnessed by number of persons who
knew nothing about the causes leading
to its production.
Messrs. DriscOll and Nichols were
talking In the lower office of the build
ing, as previously stated, when Mr..
Winston entered He had under one
arm bundle Of papers and cane. and
as soon as he saw Mr.. Driscoll he ap-
reached and remarked, in an excited
manner, that a statement the paper had
recently made, setting forth that he had
furnished the names of 800 WOrkmen
employed by him in the construction of
a railway in Virginia for enumeration
as residents of Minneapolis, had not
been sufficiently 7etracted. Mr.. Driscoll
replied that he was not the editor of the
paper, and not responsible for matter
appearing in its news columns.
"You promised that retraction
should be made" said Winston, becom-
ing greatly excited and gesticulatlng
wildly with his disengaged arm.
II promised nothing like that" re-
piled DriScOll. What said was that
] would tell Mr.. Wheelock about the
matter and that h would probably act
In it, as | believe he did"
This explanation did not satisfy Win
ston, who continued to denounce the
paper and its editors in loud voice.
This went on for some moments, until
suddenly, and without the least warn
ing, the contractor swung his right
hand heavily on Mr.. DriScOlES jaw, and
seemed bent on cleaning out the office,
when John jackson, DriscolPs stepson,
who had overheard the alteration,
stepped into the Office, and, seizing
Winston, held him with grip
of iron until he became less violent.
Mr. Driscoll made no effort to return
the blow. After having been struck he
took cigar from his pocket, Lit it with
deliberate coolness, and, having in
formed Winston in voice perfectly
modulated that he might expect to hear
from him anon. he turned on his heel.
The affair created no little excitement
In the vicinity. though there were NO
evidences of a combat, Mr.. Driscoll
bearing no mark, however light, of the
encounter.
Mr.. DriscolI refused to say anything
with regard to the fracas.

TAINTED BY BooDLEIsM.
The Legislature OF the Bay State
Ruled by Lobbyists.


Boston, July LIN the house to-day
there was introduced by Representative
Gould, of Chelsea, substitute resolu-
ton for the report of the bribery COM
mittee. 1t was declared that the West
End company's system of influence was
unparalleled in the history of legisla-
ton. in violation of law and subversive
of all honest legislation; that the evil
dence showed that the company pur-
chased the whole lobby and hired prom
inent politicians and lawyers to influ-
ence the elections, paying in the aggre-
gate the amount Of $4,000 there
for; that the testimony of some
of these men was an insult to the house; {;
that no legislation predicated upon this
influence can be enacted without max
ingsevery member who votes for it a
party to the corruption. 1t goes on to
say that the Legislature should defeat
the measure. and an effort to influence
the speaker to pack the committee on
street railways was an affront to him
and to the house. 1t declares that the
committee was unwarrantably inter-
fered with and that the courts have de-
clared that such private interviews as
the president of the company sought
with members, until all means were eX-
hausted, were improper. If the prodi-
gal hospitality of the West End to-
ward members of the legislature is
to be allowed, impartial legislation is at
an end. 1t recites that inordinate eX
penditure was made to advertise the
company, to the point of corrurting the
press and misleading the public conf
dence on the impartiality of the news
columns. The resolution concludes:
s.This company and its officers have
used corrupt methods because they
chose them, and have chosen to carry
them to a limit never before reached in
this commonwealth, upon which they
have brought disgrace" A hot debate
followed. Representative Kittridge, of
Boston, asserted that the report was not
a WhiteWaSh and demanded an apology
of Mr.. Williams for formulating
the charges. The house finally adopted
the committees report and approved its
findings, 134 to 81.

Gossip as to the Commissioner
Who Will Swear Out Arrests.
II have asked to be relieved" said
Eugene Hay yesterday. To man up
tree it would seem that he would now
be standing in more enviable position
had he "asked to be relieved" at the
very incipiency of the trouble. He
surely would have made friends, and he
would have challenged the respect of
the citizens of st. Paul, at least. 1t
could not have been urged against him.
as it has been, that he persisted because
of his bias on account of his residence
in Minneapolis.
But, as was stated in these columns
Yesterday, Hon. George n. Baxter will
stupid declarations of the Minneapolis
Tribune that Hay is to prosecute and
Baxter is to assist. Mr.. Baxter was not
in the city yesterday. He was engaged
in trying a law suit in Southern Mime
sofa, but he will come up to-day. 1t is
likely that warrants will be issued this
afternoon for the arrest of the parties
implicated. Mr.. Baxter has said that
he will advise, however, that no action
be brought unless he is satisfied that a
crime has been committed, and he will
first inspect the mass of evidence that
has been gathered. Inspector BoudinOt,
Detective Mason and Mr.. Lawler are the
people who will lay the facts before him.
Inasmuch as these facts were sufficient
to convince Attorney General Miller
and Acting Attorney General Taft that
a conspiracy had actually been commit
ted, there can be no doubt as to Mr..
BaXter's conclusions.
Mr. HaU iS ndrfIpularlV anVIOnC that
the cases be brought before Commits
sioner Morey, of Winona, as is the coun-
sci for the defense, but it is not at all
certain that the warrants will be made
returnable before him. Mr.. Baxter, as
in other matters pertaining to the meth
DDS of the prosecution, will have the say
in this. He can have them, for illustra-
ton, made returnable before C0mmiS-
sioner Tillotson. of Moorhead, or they
may come directly before Judge Nelson,
of the United States circuit court, or
before the United States grand jury.
indeed, there is talk among the intiuen-
tial citizens of petitioning Judge Mel
son to sit. In any of these possible
cannot suffer. They are all eminent
magistrates, who are spoken of in the
highest terms by the lawyers of the
state Mr.. Hay said yesterday that he
believed Commissioner Morey will hear
the cases, and that he will come to ST.
Paul for the purpose. Judge McCaf-
fertv has no desire to be further mixed
up in the imbroglio, although he is de-
termined at all times to exercise the
rights of his office. Commissioner
Spencer, before whom Mr.. Hay was SC
resoute in his attempts to have the
hearing in the fraud cases transferred
has stated that he does not wish to sit;
but Commissioner Tighe, it is under
stood, is willing to undertake the task
He has announced to his friends that
he has refrained from reading the testi.
inony and the published statements ir
order that he might in no possible way
become prejudiced.

OPENING OF A CHESTNUT BUR
The Blair Educational Bill BObs
Up in the House.

up in the House.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Mr. O'DOD-
nell. of Michigan. chairman of the
house committee on education, to-day
submitted to the house report recon-
mending the passage of the bill intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Cheatham, of
North Carolina, to aid in the establish
ment and temporary support of common
schools. better known as the Blair edu-
cational bill. Mr.. O'Donnell, after re-
ferring to the fact that a similar bill
had been passed by the senate three
times, and that not one of the numer-
Gus educational bills introduced in the
house had even been reported back from
the committee, goes on to discuss the
illiteracy prevailing in many sections of
the country, and quotes statistics to
show the proportion of illiterate
persons to the total population. ln con-
clusion, the report says: "Commendable
progress has been made in many sec
tions in the way of educational encOur-
agement. 1t remains for the nation to
give that help needed. To withhold aid
now, to use the words of distinguished
thinker Of the South would be surrender
a well cultivated field and leve the gar
nered crop to decay" In his report
Mr.. O'Donnell states that several men,
bers of the committee have reserved the
right to offer amendments OF oppose the
passage of the bill.

1T WAS THROUGH LAWLER
Why Baxter Was Chosen to Super
sede Hay.

1t was mainly through the special
efforts of hon. D. W. Lawler that Mr..
Baxter was chosen as prosecutor for the
government Mr.. LAWYERS principal
mission was to take the case out of the
control OF Mr.. hay. and he argued elo-
quently for Mr.. Baxter, and the end
was brought about. 1t was Mr.. Lawler
who gave Mr. Baxter the positive as
surance Monday, by wire, that he was
to take charge of the case.
Mr. Lawler will arrive home on the
morning train, and he will have con-
ference with Mr.. Baxter this forenoon.
Judge Flandrau, OF the citizens com
mittee, is of the opinion that "Othello's
occupations gone" He says the object
for which the executive committee was
appointed has been entirely encom-
passed, and he knows of nothing more
to be done by the committee. The
primary objects were to first secure an
order for the arrests for conspiracy
from the federal department of justice,
and next to take the prosecution out OF
Mr.. Hays hands. Nothing more was
sought, and Judge Flandrau is cog
infant of no need for another meeting
by the citizens.

THIS is DIFFERENT.

An Item Which the Minneapolis
Tribune Might Quote.
The New York Times and Chicago
Tribune having made guesses on the
population of Minneapolis that please
the Minneapolis Tribune, other papers
are taking a hand. Here is one the
Tribune will not quote, taken from the
Pittsburg Dispatch:
Hon. James G. Wyman, mayor of Ale
gheny, yesterday afternoon said: "0f course,
now that the city has over 100000 inhabit-
ants, it will come under the second-class
government and that means the creation of
new offices, which will increase the ex-
penses of the city, but Allegheny does not
expend nearly as much as other cities of
less size Take Minneapolis. for instance
which has thirteen street commissioners at
comfortable salaries. That city does not ap-
proach Allegheny in the number of inhab-
itants and surely we can afford the addition
of a few new Offices
