CHIEF sTETsoN's REPORT.

What the Fire Department Has
lonesome Practical Sugges-
tions.
In Chief Stetson's annual report he
directs attention to the lack of sufficient
water supply, especially on Nicolet
and Hennepin avenues, and recon-
mends constructing system of els
terms. The cisterns should be funnel
, shaped, about eight feet deep, four or
five feet in diameter at the bottom, and
three feet at the top. They should be
eight-inch pipe connecting with water
main, with gate intervening, and an
overflow pipe leading from the bottom
of the cistern to the sewer, with gate
for draining. Each cistern should cost
about $3.50. With cistern stream
equal in volume and strength to one
thrown by an engine carrying $50
pounds of steam and 1000 feet distant
from hydrant could be thrown with
so pounds of steam.
The expense of the department for
the year of 1890 was S216, 1S0; the sala-
ries were S196,639, and new apparatus
cost $29.77S. The estimated value of the
department property is $3.50 Dur
ing the year 4S2 calls were answered.
The loss by fire was 100000, the Secu-
rity warehouse building representing
four fifths of that amount. In the de-
partment shop fourteen men have done
labor equivalent to sl1,962. The shops
and materials are valued at sl0,434.
The cost of material, coal, wood and oil
used in the shop was S4,402. Old En-
CINE No. was practically rebuilt at a
cost of $1,000. The lowest bid for the
same was $1,000.

THE OATH ADMINISTERED.
Justice Brown Is Sworn Into Office
at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--Judge Henry
B. Brown, of Michigan, was this morn
ing sworn !oso Office as an associate JUS
ice of tnc supreme court of the United
States and took his seat on the bench.
The introduction into Office of the new
justice was awaited with considerable
interest by lawyers and others. Long
before the hour of meeting the court
chamber was crowded with spectators
A majority of the Michigan delegation
occupied seats within the rallied space
set apart for members of the bar; they
were joined by Don M. Dickinson,
postmaster general under the Cleveland
administration; Controller Lacey, of the
treasury department; Henry NJ. Duffield,
of Detroit. A number of other friends
of Judge Brown, including several la
dies, were also present, and had seats
reserved for them inside the rail. At
noon the justices. headed by Chief JUS
tice Fuller, their new associate bring
ing up the rear, marched into the court
room and took their seats on the bench.
Judge Brown did not Immediately take
his seat, but stopped at the clerks desk.
His own gown had not yet been made,
but he wore brand new robe Justice
Field loaned. When the court crier
opened the proceedings, Chief Justice
Fuller said:
at gives me pleasure to announce to the
gentlemen of the bar that, since the adjourn
ment of the court, Henry B. Brown, of Mich
igan, has been appointed to n seat upon this
bench. Mr.. Brown is ready and prepared to
take the oath. The clerk will please read
the commission"
After this had been done by Mr.. Nc
Kinney, the spectators and justices ris-
ing during the ceremony, Judge Brown
holding the small, black moroceo-coy-
cred Bible of the court in his right
hand, repeated in firm, clear, decisive
voice the usual judicial oatE He then
walked around back Of the court to his
chair on the left of Justice Lamar, who
greeted him with Outstretched hand,
the new justice returning the very cor
dial salutation of his colleague with
bow and pleasant smile. The court
bowed to the spectators, who resumed
their seats, and the usual business was
proceeded with, Justice Blatchford
reading an opinion in a patent suit.
Chief Justice Fuller, in the course of
this routine business, took advantage of
an opportunity his duty afforded him to
pay neat little compliment to the new
justice. He was instructed by tile court
to announce its decision in habeas
corpus case brought here on appeal
from Justice Browns former district
court. In announcing the courts de-
cision the chief justice departed a little
from custom. and said:
We concur in the views expressed by
Judge Brown in disposing of this case in til

THE SLATE HELD.
Once 1t Was Badly Strained, but

NOT quite broken.
The next business before the new
council, now arrayed in all its habili-
ments Of glory. was the filling of the
various appointive Offices. That branch
of public affairs was taken up and
quickly gone through with without Slip
or hitch. The slate remained intact. 1t
did grieVOuS injustice to an honora-
bic man, but that counted for nothing
against the desire to see the slate hold.
The aldermen were evidently AFRAID
that, if they yielded there, the whole
plan previously agreed upon would
fail.

minutes of intermissiOn which followed
the speeches of the mayor and eX-
mayor, the addresses were ordered

qualified before City Clerk Haney.
Later the commission met and pro-
ceeded to inaugurate the policy of the
new administration.
Commission er Winston moved that
Mai. r. r. Henderson be appointed
superintendent of police to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of w.
NJ. Bracket. The motion was carried
and the mOmentous question which has
bothered more Minneapolis people than
even the tariff was settled. Next came
the election of a secretary to succeed
Maj. Ii. A. Norton. f. G. Holbrook.
who few hours later was made by act
of the council mayors clerk, was
chosen. That finished all the business
to come before the new commission, and
it adjourned.
What will the new commission do?
That is the subject now uppermost in
the minds of the people. 1.-THE best
laid plans of mice and men," we are
told, ''gang oft agley," so, to predict
what the commission will do, would be
folly. 1t will do the best it can. 1t will
do as near the right thing as possible.
The police commission, as now cOnsti-
tuted, is by far the best commission
Minneapolis has ever had since this
abortion was fOisted upon the city.
Mayor Winston's characteristics and
intentions are pretty we'll known.
Commissioner Bracket brings to the
commission valuable experience gained
in the police department. So far as in
dications go, Mr.. Bracket will stand by
the mayor and support him in his
avowed policy. Brackets presence on
the commission will 90 far to prevent
the making of any sweeping changes in
the department. That there will be
changes is matter of course. Some
changes can be made with propriety, as
Commissioner Bracket very we'll
knows; but it is not probable that any
thing sweeping or radical will be done.
with few exceptions, the police de-
partment is now in better condition
than ever before. 1t will be improved
where possible, but the good parts will
not be torn down.
Supt. Henderson spent the greater
part of yesterday afternoon and good
part of the evening at the city hall in
consultation with his chief officers and
with ex-Supt. Bracket. He was famil-
iariZiDg himself with the details OF the
the correction of some abuses
which have crept in recently. Since
the last election. it seems TO have been
the policy of the late administration to
let everything go by the board. Like
the mountain stage driver who gives
his horses free rein when the brake
gives way, the late administration has
thrown restraint to the winds and al
lowed the hitherto curbed elements the
fullest license. All this has to be cor
rected. =
The first police order which will issue
from the new administration will COM
mand the closing OF all gambling houses.
Gambling will be wiped out completely.
During this period of license indicated
above, gambling houses have sprung up
all over the city. Every man who could

was chairman of the Democratic city

pectcd at the Court House.

Not Such a Change as Was Ex-
pected at the Court House.
There was quite a stir about the
county court house yesterday, as it had
been generally understood that the old
ToOkery was to put on its Democratic
attire, and quite large crowd assem-
bled in the Railways, crowd plentifully
SpTinkled with OtticeSeekerS, or rather,
seekers after appointments, but when
the sun went down very little change
was noted. Register of Deeds Heinrich
came down for a short time, long enough
to do the graceful thing by Dave Cor
ham, Frank Peterson and number of
the ladies whom he stated would remain
with him, and then flew to parts I'M
known.
Treasurer Peterson came down and
worked all day as deputy in his own
office. Auditor Ledgerwood only blew
in for brief spell. just 10 see that the
office was there. p. Z. SWensen came
down, but refused to do any work until
to-day, so matters went on as usual in
the sheriff's departmentuntil nightfall,
when the deputies got together and pre-
scented Mr.. Eye with 4 beautiful Mexi-
can onyx mantel clock.
The county commissioners held a So
cial meeting and adjourned until to-
day, while Judge Corrigan held his
hands deep in his pockets and declined
TO tackle probate matters until the NOR
row. Judge Canty didn't take his seat,
and Oh the whole the affair was alto
gether and thoroughly unsatisfactory to
the many searchers for appointment at
the county building. In many cases a
large number of the clerks will remain
in their old positions until the few new
ones are thoroughly worked into their
positions, when there may be room for
some new material. Sheriff Swenson
was the only one to make clean sweep,
but then he has been there before. To-
day will probably see the new officers
presiding over their different depart
ments.
