The first meeting of the municipal
government for 1892, which took place
last evening, was of unusual interest, in
that the election of building inspector
and the city official paper was decided.
The assembly held two distinct meet
ings, while the board of aldermen held
its regular meeting, and the joint meet
ing of both bodies decided the mo-
mentuouS questions as to who should be
building inspector for the next two
years, and the paper which should be
selected for the official organof the city
government for 1892.
The fray opened at the hour of Z with
a special meeting of the assembly for
the purpose of passing a resolution au-
thoriZing the issue of certificates of in
debtednesS for $500, 900 in anticipation
of the tax levy for 1892. All the men,
berS of the assembly were present, and
the resolution was passed unanimously,
after which an adjournment was taken,
and the regular meeting OF the board of
aldermen was held. Routine business
was transacted for time, when an adj
journment was moved and taken for
thirty minutes in order to allow OF a
joint session of the aldermen and the
assembly.
Needless to say that large crowd of
spectators was present in the hopes that
ain interesting fight would take place in
the election of the building Inspector
and the city printer, but those who
thought that such would be the case
were disappointed.

Miss Carriers Work az the White
Earth Reservation.

MISS carriers " OHk ar the w mite
Earth Reservation.
Miss Carter, general missionary OF
the Episcopal church, gave very inter
esting talk at ST. Johns churcn yester-
day afternoon. She spoke entertain
ingly of her experiences as missionary
in China and Japan, and of the progress
of Christianity in those countries,
giving many anecdotes of her
life and work in the Orient. The
picture she drew of the beggary
OF China was ptiful i'll the extreme.
During the floods she had seen $4,000
homeless people camped on the walls OF
one town alone.
Miss Carriers work is now among the
Indians at the White Earth reservation,
and She lays great stress on the simpor
lance Of improving their condition tenn
porally as we'll as spiritually. She ex-
hibited specimens of point lace made by
class of women aon the reservation
whom she herself taught. A ready mar
ket for their laceS is already found, and
Miss Carter feels very much encouraged
by the progress made i'll industrial
civilization. She displayed also some
pasSeluenterie and bead work, eX-
QuISitely made by the Indian women.
In closing she made an appeal for con-
tributions toward the 81 100000 enroll
ment fund the board of missions is try
ing to raise for mission work, and after
her talk, explained TO the women pres
ent the work done by her Indian pu-
pills. some OF which was remarkably
artistic.

the most thorough timber experts in the
country, gave the GLOBE reporter some
interesting figures relative to the
Red Lake timber supply. Mr..
De Wolf has been over the
entire territory and has formed a rough
estimate as to the possible amount of
pine on that reservation. He says that
by the time the land comes into market
the reservation will contain the enor-
nous sum of 10000. 100000 feet of tim
Der. or this amount one-eighteenth, or
in round numbers. $50, 600, 600 feet, will
become the property of the state school
fund. At an extremely low estimate
this Will add, eventually, $1,000, 900
to the state school fund. The party of
inspectors is made up: G. l.. Lawrence,
foreman. and M. p. De Wolf, E. l..
Brockway, Fred A. Kribs and A. c..
Rhlnehart, the entire party being under
the direction of Mr.. Staples. 1t will
take two or three years, according to the
number OF men employed, to finish the
estimate. Each forty-acre tract is ex-
anhined by three different men. who
each place an estimate on it, seal their
estimates and submit them IN this shape
to the superintendent. who will make
his report on the basis of these esti-
mates.

tions Settles All Doubt.
So conflicting have the reports been
respecting the actual distress among
the peasantry of Russia. and having in
view the contributions being made by
the citizens of Minnesota, it IS manifest
that some assurance was needed that
not only were the Russians in need of
the cargo of breadStuffS TO be forwarded,
but also that they would receive it.
Gov. Merriam, through the state depart
ment, was assured of the latter. and the
following cablegrams demonstrate the
actual condition of affairs in the ear S
dominion. The first is cablegram
from Gov. Merriam to G. Emery Smith,
the American minister to Russia, and it
reads:
Minnesota and the Northwest are prepar-
ing to donate cargo of breadstuffs for the
famine stricken people of Russia. Today
papers containW ashngtoD dispatches of semi
ofhcial character stating that reports of dis
tress are very much overdrawn. and that out
side contributions are not necessa ry. Please
cable me Immediately full information of
status of affairs, and whether our contribu-
tons are needed and will be acceptable.
MERRIAM Governor.
A reply was received last evening as
follows:
ST. Observation-Disclosures Governor, St
Paul. Distress in Russia from short crops is
widespread and severe; difficult to over
draw extent of suffering. Many provinces
are destitute. and must be helped till next
harvest Am able to say that proposed con-
tributions of Minnesota and the Northwest
indicated in your dispatch will be accepted
with most grateful appreciation.

The hearing of L. E. Elliott on the
charge of having burglarized posto ffices
in Kansas, in company with others, was
conducted at considerable length be-
fore United States Commissioner Tighe
yesterday. and resulted in his being
committed to jail in default of 81, 500
bail, to appear in Kansas to answer an
indictment found by the United States
district court of that state. The former
complaint was dismissed on motion of
United States District Attorney Hay,
and Elliott was rearrested in the office
OF the commissioner upon two charges.
One of these was an amended complaint
charging the robbery Of -COffeyyille
postoffice by John w. MaXey, l.. E.
Elliott and NJ. l.. Girard.
The other complaint charged the
breaking into the postoffice at Pittsburg,

postofice. Thomas Dunden. of Pitts
burg. restaurant keeper. said that Ell

tered.
United States District Attorney Hay
will apply to Judge Nelson, of the
United States district court, on Friday,
Tor an order to remove Elliott to Kan
sas for trial. At that time Mr. Johns
VIII urge the same objections to the re-
moxai that he made at the hearing yes
terday, namely:
That no offepse is charged in The informa-
tion as it is alleged that the complaint is OH
information and belief Of Inspector j. T.
sullivan. and not upon actual knowledge of
the person swearing out the warrant Of ar
rest
That the commissioner had no jurisdiction
to hear the case.
That improper evidence of the inspector
as to Identification and of the indictment was
admitted ~
That copy of the Indictment is not the
proper evidence upon which to hold the
prisoner as he is entitled TO be faced by his
accusers.
That the commissioner only has authority
TO hold one examination similar TO that held
by the state courts CT Minnesota. f..

a contest for diamond pin for the most
popular young man. The entries in the
latter race are John j. Flanagan. Dan

At the st. Paul table Emil Mehl, of

is that rate of SO cents per 100 pounds

Missouri river. which is in reality lower
than the regular rate by the standard
lines from New York to the Mississippi
river. There is talk of an investigation
by the Interstate commerce commission.
