of the Twin cities reports that the ap-

Also that the municipal Indebtedness Of
st. Paul is much greater than that of
Minneapolis; that at no time in the his
tory of Minneapolis has the city expert
enced such growth and prosperity, and
that Minneapolis is doing very well by
herself; that public opinion in Minneap-
oils is overwhelmingly opposed to union,
and that in the judgment of the com
mittee the people can not waste any time
or energy in efforts to unite the two
cities. The report was unanimously
adopted

Boyd and Thayer.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. = Into the
hands of the supreme court OF the
United States the question OF who is
rightfully governor Of Nebraska, was
placed yesterday afternoon. The
arguments in the case occupied just
four hours. Opinion is divided among
those who had attended the court as to
whether Boyd or Thayer will win.
Three or four of Nebl'aska's most en-
inent citizens, who are interested di-
rectly in the case, but heard all the
arguments and watched the express
sions on the face of the justices OF the
supreme court, expressed the opinion
tonight that Thayer will not be dis
turbed in his position. One distin-
gulshed Nebraskan expressed the belief
however, that after the arguments of
Gown and Estabrook, the supreme
court could not fail to declare Boyd 3
citizen.

and a rough and tumble fight ensued,
In which Ashton got far the better OF
It. Friends rushed in and separated
the pair and John was finally per-

marked and claret was drawn from
his nose. Ashton remained in Saussl-

PARIS, Dec. s.-For the first time
since the body of the great Napoleon
was recovered from St Helena, Paris
today witnessed an imperial funeral,
very different. however, from the his
toric display that attracted 1000, 900
witnesses and was attended by $50, 600
soldiers. The funeral OF the deposed
emperor of Brazil took place under
cover of darh ness. There was no grand
parade of soldiers and the enormous
crowd that witnessed the solemn and
simple procession seemed impressed by
the lesson OF the scene.
The fact that the ex-emperor OF Bra
I'll had carried with him into his exile
a quantity OF the soil Of his beloved
Brazil became known TO the public to-
! lay and deeply touched all hearts, for
nc7e are quicker than Frenchmen to
appreciate love OF country. Dom
Pedro had carried this Brazilian earth
with him from place TO place wherever
he journeyed in his exile. 1t was dug
hastily In the garden OF his summer
palace at Petropolis, when he bowed
10 the decree OF Danlsnmeut lTOn OId-
I'll, and he carried il with him on the
Alapoas TO Lisbon. This soil was put
in his coffin so that his head and body
rested upon it.
The coffin was covered with Brazil
liam flags and conveyed on bier COW
cred with black velvet, studded with
silver stars. There was no ostenta-
ton in the display Everything was
as simple as Dom Pedro himself might
have desired. The popularity OF Dom
Pedro was attested by the respectful
silence OF the Partisan crowd. Not a
jeer was beard and the police had but
little trouble in preserving order.
The remains we're received at the
entrance of the church OF the Madeline
by the Able LIE Debours. The interior
of the church was draped in black and
the Brazilian colors adorned the cata-
falque upon which the dead emperor's
remains were to rest during the SER
vices. The church was thronged.
The Able LIE Rebours oficiated at the
solemn service and among those
present were many OF the notable resi-
dents of Paris. The remains will be
conveyed from the Madeline to rest in
the royal Brsganza vault at Lisbon.
