The Steam and Street Railway
Row at West Superior Be-
coming Serious.
Cars Purposely Ditched at a
Crossing by the Eastern
Minnesota.
The Chief Of Police Arrests
the Foreman, Engineer
and Fireman.
An Injunction Against the
City--Further Serious
Trouble Expected.

Special to the Globe.
WEST SUPERIOR. Wis. Dec. 19.-The
fight between the street railway and
the railroads on Richie avenue took a
new turn today, and all night squads of
men and police guarded the crossing,
and rumors of trouble were about the
city. In the morning the Northern Pa
citic acceded to the terms of the street
railway to maintain crossings on the two
tracks already in. Yesterday the East
ern Minnesota announced the recall of
its agreement with the road, and at
tempted to put third track
across the street. tearing up the
paving blocks and street railway
tracks. Chief of Police Paden ordered
the work stopped on the ground that
the road had no permit to tear up the
paving. Yardmaster Brennan and a
laborer were arrested, but released on
bail. This afternoon the street railway
company prepared to make the cross
ing Of the Eastern Minnesota. and at 2
O'Clock gang of thirty men, headed by
President Norvell, went out. A permit
from the board of public works was
shown Chief Paden, who was about to
interfere, and the work was commenced.
In less than five minutes a switch en-
CINE came down
Al Terrific Speed
and was ditched. Afterwards it was
pulled on, and box car was ditched di-
rectly at the spot where the crossing
was to be made. No sooner had this
been done than another engine with
fifteen cars came tearing down on the
main track and stopped directly On the
crossing. Chief Paden stepped up and
gave the engineer five minutes to re-
move the cars from the crossing. When
the time had expired they were still
there. Fireman Brown, Engineer Nc
Carthy and Fireman Ryan were placed
under arrest. In the evening the East
ern Minnesota swore out All injunction
restraining the city and the street rail-
way from preventing its interference
with them in constructing and operating
the track. Thus the matter stands. 1t
is expected that during the night an at
tempt will be made to forcibly lay the
track. Police are stationed at the cross
ing and great excitement prevails.
The Injunction Unheeded.
President NOrvall. of the street rail-
way, tonight telegraphed President AK
eXander, of the Eastern Minnesota, re-
peating the terms OH which he pro-
posed to make the crossing. No reply
was received. Forces of men are gath
ering, and it is thought an attempt will
will be made to remove the obstruction
on the street under tie police protection.
1t is thought the railroad has secured 10
service on the city, for Mayor Patteson,
President Matchett, of the council, and
City Clerk Dargis are out of the city,
and the injunctions were served on the
chief of police and Deputy City Clerk
Rawley. The street railway company
will not heed the order.

yentiOn. regulating the number of dele
gates, Or any radical moves would not
be tolerated. AS one of the visitors eX-
pressed it, There were too many u Ell
present who were after congressional
nominations to permit anything to be
DONE" The first move on the checker
board after Editor Heatwole sat down
was made by Senator Tawney, of Wi
mona, who offered the following resolu-
ton
Resolved, That il is the sense of this COM
mittee that the only matter of interest to the
Republican party of the state demanding at
tention at the pre- sent time is the matter of
the arrangemtn lit of congressional committees
in the several new congressional districts of
the state, made necessary by the recent re-
apportionment, and the matter of eo-opera-
ton with the state league i'll the organization
OF the party throughout the state. and that
all other business of the committee should
be deferred until a subsequent committee
meeting.
The effect'of this resolution was at once
seen and the statement made that under
it nothing would be done. 1t was mani
testify the desire of the majority TO limit
the meeting i'll this way, and Senator
Tawney stated that he thought it un-
wise to discuss questions months in adj
vance OF the time they should be settled.
Such questions, Mr.. Tawney thought,
were the schemes for fixing the number
of delegates to the convention, the place
for holding it as well as plans for the
enlargement of the state committee.
These remarks struck the committee
men very favorablv, and the resolution
was adopted by unanimous vote.
This simplitied matters to a great eX-
tent, and NJ. %. Taylor started the ball
rolling in the direction he desired it to

district to compose a separate commit

The Fifth and Sixth district commit

together again and the new committees

WOODS, THE PARTISAN.
Judges and Lawyers Disguised
With His Appointment.


CHICAGO. Dec. 10.-The Times this
morning prints the following: Lawyers
and judges in this city were quietly con-
ferring all day yesterday over the nom
inatiOn of Judge Woods, of Indiana. as
Judge of the United States circuit court.
Quite number called on Judge Gresh-
ham, of the circuit bench, to ascertain
his views, but that gentleman was reti-
cent. That he was aStOniShed and dis
guSted was apparent to every caller. He
could scarcely realize that such a nOin-
ination had been made, and to some of
his intimate friends he is said to have
expressed himself as much displeased
with the presidents choice.
One admirer of Judge Gresham, of
considerable prominence, a man whose
voice was heard in the national Repnb-
lican convention in Chicago in 1888
said: II have reason believe that
Judge Gresham will never serve on the
circuit bench with Judge Woods. He
will resign first. Should the Indiana
man be confirmed, Judge Gresham will
take it as personal insult from the
president and the republican party
ana in case Harrison is renominated he
will quit the bench, and, perhaps. be-
fore that event becomes possible"
