WE'RE NOT ENGAGED.
Miss Cappa Dodge's Relations to
Clifton Holden.

Special to the Clone
REDWOOD FALLS, April 3.-Dan
Dodge. a cousin of Frank Dodge, told
the GLOBE correspondent to-day that
there was no truth in the story of Hold
ems having been engaged to Cappa
Dodge. The young lady is at present
residing in Fairfax, and has no interest
in Holden's fate other than that which
would naturally be felt by her for
former friend who had so fallen. Dodge
says that the motive of the muir
der was net jealousy, but rob-
berry. Holden was going back
to Rochester, as he had already an
nounced. He knew that Frank Dodge
had nearly 500 with him, and he killed
him for the money. Sheriff Mead has
decided to allow the gallows to remain
standing until the tnal action in the
case is taken. He returned this morn
the prisoner back to that place. Holden
stated for the GLOBE, prior to his de-
parture, that he was now sure
he would not be hung. He had eX-
pected reprieve, he said, and was
not greatly surprised. His looks, how
ever. belied his words. Before the an
nOuncement of the stay was made to
him Holden was rapidly weakening
He went SO far as to state that he had
thrown the revolver from which the
fatal shot was hred into the river. 1t is
believed pretty generally that the con-
demned would have made statement of
some sort regarding the crime, before
the final moment. Sheriff Mead is
greatly relieved at the turn of events.
He does not relish the necessity for act
ing as hangman.

RUDINI IS MILD.
Pacificatory Advices Received in
Washington.

w
WASHINGTON, April SIT is said to-
night that the president and his adj
visers are very much gratified over the
receipt of the latest message from
Premier Dl Rudini, which was a sub
ject of consideration at the cabinet
meeting to-day. They are inclined to
think that it indicates an early settle
ment of the diplomatic war.
The milder tone assumed by Di RuO
ini in his message to the Marquis I'm
periali is, it is considered here, due to
the clear statement of our governments
position by Secretary Blaine, supple
mented by very able presentation of
the case at Rome by Mr.. Porter, the
United States minister there. If this
government considers the question of
Indemnity, inquiry will no doubt be
made into the character of the alleged
subjects of Italy killed in New Orleans,
leave their native land under PROM
ise never to return and were cOmpen-
Sated to leave, etc. Should it be found
that these men left their country for
their cOuntry'S good this government
would hardly cOncent to compensate
their families. 1t is reported that at the
cabinet meeting to-day letter was read
from either Baron Fava or the Marquis
Imperiali intinlating that the recall of
the minister was really but a leave of
absence. Baron Fava is still i'll in bed
at his reSidt ce, and could not be seen
tonight wILn reference to the above re-
port, nor could the marquis be found.

portart questions, could not be granted
because of the restricting influence
of the constitution. There were
a few members who cautioned
their fellow legislators not to take
haSty step. but it was left 10 Mr.. st verS
to etfectually head off that which has
since been generally conceded would
have been very unwise act. He elo-
quently enlarged upon the present un-
settled condition of political parties III
the state, and showed the bad effect
which Snch revision of the cOnSttu-
ton would have upon the state. For
why was the revision proposed? Simply
because the present constitution
did not enable legislators to
"get att corporations strong enough.
Capital would flee from the
state. Bankruptcy would stare the peo-
pie in the face. Mr.. StiverS thunderrd
these facts into the minds of the repre-
sentatives, and the bill was overwhelm-
ingly defeated. 1t was a great effort
it was an effort worthy of the man.
While Mr.. Stivers possesses natural
Oratorieal abilities, he does not often
take up the attention of the house. he
is unlike some members, who lntilct
speech on their fellow members upon
every subject which comes up. but re-
Importance of the question demands Il
thorough and proper discussion Mr..
Stivers is the Democratic representa-
tive from Crow Wing county, and
was the choice of the Democratic mem
bers of the house in the contest for
speaker. He has largely interested
himself this session in railroad legisla-
ton, being chairman of the house rail-
road committee. The intelligent stand
he has taken upon the veXed problem is
worthy of his high attainments. The
speech he delivered upon the Currier
bill was the best heard this session in
the lower end of the legislature. MIR.
Stivers is deSirouS of seeing good rail
road law passed by this legislature-a
law which will be alike just to the peo-
pie and the raIlroadS-but he is unaller
ably opposed to any rash, unwise or
chimerical legislation, which, while
failing TO grant the people the relief
they require, cripples the efficiency of
the railroads and retards the develop
ment of the state. Mr.. Stivers is an ed
itor, and has occupied many positions OF
public trust in the city of BraInerd, and
is fOrty-two years of age.

That Alliance Legislators Would
Block all Bills,

The Alliance senators and represeta-
tives to the number of fifty held con-
ference at the Merchants last evening,
and discussed the outlook for the pas
sage of certain measures of special in
terest to the farming class. Senator
Mott presided, and Representative
Ongstad acted as secretary.
They merely discussed the necessity
for unity of action, but united in de-
nouncing the rumor published in Re-
publican organs to the effect that they
had decided to block all legislation if
they were not allowed to advance their
get measures.
I'VE realize that all our measures must
stand or fail on their merits" said prom
inent Alliance member last evening. ''and
we are not making any threats nor do we
propose to do so. II our bills are bad, they
ought to be beaten, and if good, we only
want fair show"
1t seemed the opinion of nearly all
present that there were few measures
that should be pressed to a successful
issue. among them the Leavitt income
tax bill, the Davis interest bill, H. +.
500, providing for the taxation of rail-
road lands, the Keyes election bill, the
BJorge maximum rate bill and the Cur
rler bill.

RUNS THE GAUNTLET.
The Young Lawyers Have a Very
Interesting Legislative Fight.


The Keyes bill authorizing appeals to
be taken from the municipal court to
the district court instead of the supreme
court met with considerable objection
on its final reading.
MIR. Darelius, of Hennepin, said he
had looked uD the cases before the su-
preme court during the past year and
found that only very small percentage
of the 800 appeals were nun icipal court
eases. The burden upon the court from
this source was very small, and he be-
leyed that the proposed change would
only increase litigation without reliev-
ing litigants from any expense as was
claimed.
MIR. Walsh, r. A., had petition from
200 lawyers of ST. Paul opposing the
bill, which he vigorously denounced as
being most unwise piece of legislation.
Air. Keyes defended his bill, and had
the satisfaction of seeing it pass by
vote of 67 yeas to q nays.
MIR. Walsh had changed his vote to
''yes," and gave notice to reconsider the
vote,
MIR. Keyes met this move by moving
to recOnsi der himself, but, upon the
initiative OF Mr.. Stevens, the motion
wat ordered laid upon the table.

REDWOOD FALLS, April 3.-The ex-
citement prevalent on Thursday night.
when the reprieve in the Holden case
was announced, has abated with the
knowledge that there is no probability
Of communication unless new evidence
OF sufficient strength to warrant it is in
troduced. The Indignation meeting
held by leading citizens on Thursday
night made plainly apparent the senti-
ment existing here as to the guilt of the
ctDdemned. Dan Dodge and another
brother of the murdered man to-
day began the circulation of a
petition TO the governor set
tibg forth that an Interview with
the parties who saw Holden Immediate
ly after the commission of the crime
would tend TO convince him that there
was no ground for lnterceSsion. These
men saw the buggy in which Holden
drove 10 town as soon as it arrived, and
say blood SmearS upon it were fresh
then. Before the vehicle was exam
lned by the jury the evidences of the
crime, they say, had worn off. They
say they saw HOIden's bloody coat
sleeve and tue tell-tale stains on his
boots, and heard and rated at
It's actuaI value the rambling and
conflicting story he told of the
tragedy, and nothing will shake

sleners were plenty. The universal be-
lief in Holden's guilt, and the knowl-
edge thai of three murderers who have
committed their crimes in Redwood
county, not one has been hung, COM

CURRIER BILL BEATEN.
The Railway Measure Goes Down,
4S to- So.

The members of the house yesterday
afternoon gave definite expression
upon the Currier substitute bill for
House File IS. This bill. as is gener-
ally known. reorganiZes the present
railroad law, and proposes to bring into
play what is termed the distance tariff.
1t is that provision of the bill-the dis
tance tariff-against which much. if not
all, the opposition is raised against the
Currier bill. The bill was on the cal
endar for the day. but, prior to taking it
up, there was a call of the house.
There were 1O4 out of the ia members
who responded to the call. Before TAX
ing a vote Mr.. Searle briefly addressed
the house, opposing the passage of the
bill and incidentally referring TO the
provision prohibiting the Use of free
passes by all but railroad employees.
He remarked that all the members
were now using these passes. and that,
if the bill was passed, he hoped they
would have the graci0usness 10 at once
return them. The roll call was pro-
ceeded with as follows:

FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Appropriation Again Sliced
by Alliance Members.


The worlds fair bill was also disposed
of yesterday. The bill was introduced
by Maj. Reeve, of Minneapolis, and,
though originally calling for an appro-
priation of 100000, this in committee of
the whole had been cut to $4,000. The
Alliance members, however, were quite
outspoken in their opposition to $4,000,
being of opinion that $4,000 was suffi-
cient. Mr.. Mcguire led the opposition.
He thought $50, enough. especially In
view of the fact that the governor had
vetoed seed grain bill, because the
condition of the state treasury could not
meet such an expenditure.
Maj. Reeve argued there was no par
allel between this appropriation and
that for seed wheat. Besides, the
money would not be wanted at once.
The amount he asked for-S75, ,O0O-was
fair.
Mr.. Cole (T.) explained his vote. He
opposed the bill because, as the chari-
table and instructional institutions could
not get what they wanted, he did not
think it wise to send money out of the
state.

cation was made. Belgieri and his wife
were discovered dead on the floor. Both
bodies were horribly mutilated. The
heads of the victims had been literally
smashed in with heavy mallets used in
breaking stone, and the bodies had sew
eral bullet and stab wounds. After
killing the couple, the murdereIs no
doubt set fire to the house to hide their
crime. Four laborers who disappeared

Finally Passed Upon by the Grave
Senators.

Senators.
The afternoon session commenced
with the calendar and ended when all
the measures upon it were either de-
feated or passed.
The first snag was struck when Sena-
tor McMillan's bill requiring railroads
to provide automatic brakes and cOuplers
was reached. Senator Tawney took the
floor and in brief speech stated his
objections to the measure. He said:
when this bill was under consideration in
committee of the whole, | was opposed to 1t
on the ground, as then supposed, it was in
practleable, and as II would apply only TO
cars in this state, would necessarily expose
the brakemen and switchmen 10 greater dan
gers than those to which they are now sub
jected. My impressions were based upon my
own knowledge of the facts as practical
mechanic. |, however.desired to take the
judgment of the men whose duty it is to
switch and couple cars; therefore addressed
letter TO Il gentlemen In the employ of the
Winona St Peter Railroad company at
Winona, requesting him to see the boys in
the yard and ascertain whether they were in
favor of the passage of the bill; that if they
were, would support it. and if not, would
oppose it. In reply received the following
communication:
Tine boys are opposed to a state law of that
kind. What they want is a United States
law that will apply all over They say
that there are SO many different kinds of
couplers now in use that they have become
not only dangerous, but positive nuisance.
This being the Judgment of my constitu-
ents, who are directly interested in this
measure, feel that it is my duty to oppose
the passage OF this measure.
He was followed by Senator Don
nelly in an eloquent address, stating
the popular and humanitarian side of
the measure.
The speechmaking was ended by
Senator Keller, who
Jumped On
the bill with all fours. The vote which
followed was surprise to all, in view
of the fact that the bill had been recon-
mended without opposition. 1t was as
