In addition to the analysis Mr. PHILLIPS saws:
'The water appeared slightly turpid and de-
posted very little sediment on standing "a
hours; 1000 volumes of the water contain I'll
volumes ofdissolved oxygen"
A letter accompanied the report. 1T was
addressed to Mr.. G. Stengel, the Spperln
tendeht of the water company, and read as
follows:

son collected sample of wafer for analysis
from McCully d Co.'s glass works, September

shows that the water on the date named was of

Yours truly,
FRANCIS C. PHILLIPS.
The fact that Prot. Phillips finds the
water to be of ''an excellent quality"
is significant, in face of the other Tact, that
so many previous examinations proved the
water to be directly the contrary. So long
as there is such variance in the opinions of
expert chemists, the citizens will be dissatis-
fed. If all would agree that the water is
good the matter would be settled, but while
the majority OF opinions stand against the
water, the people will cling TO the belief
that, the water is bad and will ask the in
vestigation to De continued until one f. ct
or the other is thoroughly established.

THE COMMITTEES RETURNS.

The committee which went from st.
Paul to discuss his recount ukase with
Secretary NOBLE is returning in de-
tachments, the first of which reached
the city yesterday. While the matter of
recount is still in allegiance, with
every prospect of reissuance of the
order, it cannot be said the labors of the
committee were entirely in vain. 1t did
not succeed in convincing the authori-
ties of the census that there were no
errors in the st. Paul count, but it did
make it apparent that there was no sys-
tematic fraud, nor anything like the
faint of an organized effort to pad the
count of the city. The denomination
of the schedules removed many. if not
most of the reasons for believing there
were even general errors, but developed
that what errors existed were in few
districts and not ptrmeating the entire
city. 1t entirely relieved the city-and

BUSINESS, NOT SENTIMENT.

BUSINESS, NoI SEN EN-.
While the political situation in Min
neSOta at present seems complicated,
there ought to be no doubt of the result.
On the main issues of the day the voters
of the state are practically of one mind.
Tariff reduction is the crying need OF
the hour, and the farmers of Minnesota
are all on one side of this question. For
years they have looked to the Repub-
lican party for relief from oppressive
tariff taxation, and instead of getting
what they have from time to time been
promised, the party now in power is
trying to heap the burdens still higher
upon their heretofore hitherto willing
shoulders. But there is limit and an
end to all things. and this time has been
reached by the Republican party in
Minnesota.
The people of this state are over
whelmingly in favor Of reduction of
the present war tariff to strictly reve-
nue. basis. This is exactly what the
Democratic party stands pledged to
give them. The Republican ST
platform lodges this question, as the
ward politicians who are now in COM
plete control of that party think. very
cleyerly. The Democratic platform will
speak out fearlessly and boldly on this
subject. Should there be any hesita-
ton on the part of any voter which
ticket he should vote when he goes to
the polls in November next? In crises
like the present party lin eS should be
disregarded. and he interests of the
people of the whole country first con-
sidered. There are at present the most
flatteIing indications that the voters of
Minnesota are about ready to shake of
their shackleS and vote as they think
and believe. Sentimental voting is

Wind Does Considerable Damage
in MINNEAPOLIS.

III NliHucdpOIiSs
''Good dag for cyclone" was COM
mon remark on the streets of Minneap-
oils yesterday. Fat men stood around
in the shade and mopped the perspira-
ton from their brows while the COM
planned of the heat. 1t was certainly
one of the hottest days of the sea-
son, the heat being of that close,
sweltering kind that completely ener.
waited man and beast. About s o'clock
complained by thunder and lightning.
About 9 the water descended in tor
rents, the streets being converted into
miniature lakes, and the cutters into
rivers. The heaviest of the rain was
over by $50. and Immediately
the wind began to blow. By 10
O'Clock the wind had increased to vel
ocity rarely ever seen here before, and
for nearly thirty minutes perfect gale
prevailed. Belated pedestrians damned
their hats down over their eyes,
grasped the iron rails along the streets
and attempted to make their way
homeward, only to eventually take ref
uge in some roOmy doorway. III some
places they were swept from their feet
and carried along powerless in the
grasp OF the gale. A cabman was blown
from his box in front of the West hotel
and carried block, saving himself by
embracing telegraph pole. The wind
seemed to come from the northeast, it
being accompanied by vivid lightning
flashes. Considerable damage was done
in various parts of the city. AT the
base ball park the whole of the fence
on the Fifth street side was badly
twisted, one portion being leveled and
the boards carried into the MD
die of the park. Along the
Sixth street side the roof
over the boxes was carried away COM
pletely. The roof of the grand stand
was torn off in places, and the whole so
badly twisted and broken that it will
have to be almost entirely rebuilt. At
the West hotel about 5000 worth of
damage was done, including the carry
ing away of a ventilator and the break
ing of plate glass. The plate glass
front of BOutelle'S store at Second ave-
nue. south and Washington was smash
ed, and one man badly cut. The same
occurred at the Leland hotel,
Fifth street and Second avenue
south. Plate glass was broken in
the Boston block, Temple Court,
and in most of the large buildings.
Branches were twisted from the trees
all over the city and cast into the street.
1t was reported the Lake Harriet pavil-
lion was ruined, but the rumor could
not be verified.

LONDON, Aug. T.-Although neither
Lord Dunraven nor Cardinal Manning
has signified his willingness to act as
arbitrator in the labor troubles at Car

asked to do so by both parties to the
dispute. and that they will accept the
invitation. Ben Tillette, the labor
leader, addressed all immense meeting
Of union men In the public square at
Cardiff last evening. He instructed
them to remain firm. but to refrain from
violent demonstrations, which could
only have the effect to weaken their
cause. Already there are signs that the
directors of the companies are dis
bosed to compromise on basis
of half of what the men demanded.
but in the matter of the absolute
exclusion of non-union men. the prin-
cipal demand of the employees, the
directors are still firm in their refusal
to accept dictation. or to depart in the
slightest degree from their resolve TO
engage whatsoever class of men they
choose to employ. Shipping firms say
that the port of London has been great
