this continent by Christopher Columbus
were formally rendered to the worlds
Columbian commission and accepted by
the vice president of the United States
on behalf of the republic.
1t was just 1880 when a burst of
cheering that swelled into vast vol

of the vice president. The hall at this
moment was wonderful sight. The
hackneyed expression "a sea Of up
turned faces'' was in this case literally
correct. for forty-fOur acres were COW

over which band was playing Hail

The burst of applause that greeted
the Introduction of Bishop Fowler was
instantly Stilled as the noted divine
closed his eyes, turned his face up
wards, stretched forth his hands in en-
treaty and commanded the supplication
to he one of grace. But it was very evil
dent that the hall had not been designed
for the use of public speakers. for his
voice could scarcely be heard beyond
the press section, and to all but few

long prayer, and as it progressed people
became impatient and the murmur of
voices gradually swelled until it became
roar, and the conclusion of the invO-
cation was Inaudible save to few in
the Immediate vicinity.
AS the bishop resumed his seat Di-
rector General Davis stepped forward
and was accorded a hearty reception.
The executive head of the exposition
spoke with brevity and to the point
There was much applause when he fin
ished, and Mayor Washburne. who was
the next to be presented, had no rea-
son to complain of the warmth of his
reception. There Was still great mur-
mur of voices, like a roar in the dis
tance, but the occupants of the platform

to make himself fairly well heard.

MINNEAPOLIS TONIGHT.
The Memorable Rally-St. Paul
Clubs Will Attend.

Tonight Minneapolis will tender it's
first reception to the gallant Dan Law
ler, and at the same time hold the most
notable meeting in its history. The
galaxy of oratorical talent to be present
will be second only to that sched-
ued for the great st. Paul
meeting . for Monday night. The
meeting will be held in the exposition
building, and 10000 people will be
within sound of the speakers voices.
Beside Mr.. Lawler will be heard Sena-
tor Mills. of Texas, the great tariff
orator whose potent voice was heard in
the splendid majority Minneapolis gave
in 1890; Henry George, the celebrated
single tax exponent, and John z.
White, of Chicago, universally con.
ceded to be the greatest labor ora
tor in the country. Beside these
there will be local speakers, the whole
constituting an attraction that will
pack the building from top to bottom.
The Minneapolis Democrats will pre-
cede the meeting with a great parade,
in which at least a thousand st. Paul
Democrats will participate. Every club
in the city is expected to participate.
The following will contain the infOrma-
ton necessary to their guidance rela-
tive to transportation:

of The dedication of the buildings and
their acceptance was now III order. ana
a hush fell upon the audience as PreSi-
dent Palmer, of the national commits.
sion, and President Highinbotham, of
the local directory, rose from their seats
on either side of the chair, advanced to-.
ward the audience and faced each other.
Mr.. Higinbotham spoke first. and in a.
brief and appropriate speech made tell
der of the structures in the name of the
Worlds Columbian exposition to the
Worlds Columbian commission, by this
act surrendering control of the build
ings so far as the local organizations is
concerned.
Having performed his part Mr.. Hig-
inbOtham resumed his seat and his place
was taken by Vice President Morton.
VINO, for the secOndtime in the course
of day. was received with shouts and
cheers and hand clapping lasting for
full minute. In eloquent terms PreSi-
dent Palmer made known the accept
ance by the nation of the structures and
requested the vice president to dedicate
the buildings ana grounds to humanity.
1t was then Mr.. Morton faced the
audience and made his response to the
ovation already referred to.
The vice president referred to the be-
reavement of the president as the rea-
son for his appearance, and continued:
Il am here in behalf of the govern
ment of the United States, i'll behalf of
all the people-All hail to Chicago: all
hail to the Columbian exposition. From
the st. Lawrence to the gulf and from
the peerless cosmopolitan capital by the
sea to the golden gate of California,

the success of this work

The iron ring is satisfied with MIR.
Nelson. Proof of this is found in the
fact that Capt. Joe" Sellwood, the bull
doing superintendent of the Minnesota
Iron company, is a member of the Re-
publican state central committee, and
two weeks later will try to vote the
5000 miners at Soudan and Ely solidlY
for him.
1t will be remembered that when
Capt. SellwOOd had trouble with his
miners, all he had to do to bring them
to terms was to step TO the telegraph
Office and wire Gov. Merriam. A COM
panv of state troops was ordered out at
| once, and the state paid the bills for
policing the property of this arrogant
corporation that. while it pays no taxes,
is able 10 declare dividends of per
cent annually On capitalization of

Under Mr.. Nelson as governor Capt.

They did this because they did not
know the provisions of the bill.
The pine land ringsters knew all
about the bill, and they, too, said:

Since the people have learned that
this bill was so drawn that it will give
the pine land men the "earth and the
| fuilnesS thereof" as far as the timber is
concerned. they realize that they are not
the proper parties to rejoice at the
opening of the reservation. And the
pine land rings agents are now estimat-
ing the timber. and little later their
employers will purchase it at their own
figures. And not stick of it can be
obtained by the small lum5erman or a

for Mr.. Nelson. AS in the case of the

for past favors or to the anticipation of
those to come III the future.
The rings and combines are "solid for

of the people are we'll aware of the true
situation and they are not solid for
