WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-The business
In the house today was confined prin-
cpallv to the taking of recesses in order
to enable the Democrats to talk over the
situation and to formulate some scheme
of action. A resolution revoking all
leaves of absence (even those granted
on account of sicknesS) was adopted,
and the sergeant-at-arms was directed
personally, if need beg, to enforce the
attendance of abSenteeS. Following Is
the resolution adopted:
Resolved, That the condition of the public
business imperatively demands the immedi-
ate presence of all absent members of the
house; that the speaker be, and he is
hereby, requested to urge all such alb
sentees to return at once; that all leaves
of absence heretofore granted are revoked !;
that II any absent members shall fail to
return or notify the speaker that he is ell
route to the capital within the next two days,
the sergeant-at-arms shall in person or by
deputy proceed at once to the residence of
such absent member and enforce his attend
ance.
In obediance to this instruction the
speaker sent the following telegram to
each of the absenteeS:
/ urgently request your immediate attend
ance here. We cannot break the deadlock
without a full attendance, and we cannot ad-
journ without diSposing of the Sundry civil
bill. All leaves of absence are revoked.
After the journal was read the speaker
said the regular order was the motion of
Mr.. Bingham to lay on the table the
motion of Mr.. Holman to reconsider the
vote by which the house decided to
agree to recede from its disagreement
to the senate amendment touching the
worlds fair item. Then the filibuster-
ing began. Various motions to adjourn
were made. Finally recess was take n
by unanimous consent to allow action
by the caucus on the worlds fair mat
ter. After the recess the proceedings
were resumed. No quorum was pres
ent. and the house, at LAO p. H.. adj
journed until tomorrow.

PRETTY FRENCH MAID

Worry.

Off ON a Wild Goose

The Hennepin Delegation Has

Its Hind.

From little episode which occurred
at the lakes it would seem that French
maids are just as interesting in real life
as IN stories. About month ago Mrs.
James Gresham, of Brooklyn. made her
appearance at Minnetonka. Sine became
guest at Hotel ST. Louis, and with her
were her two little children and petite
French maid. This French maid
was pretty little thing, as of
course all French maids are,
and it was not long before
she had lovers by the score. She did
not choose her lovers among the aristo-
cratic guests, but sought diversion
among those of her own station In life.
She listened to whispered nothings
from the lips of the hotel barber, and it
is said she was not averse to having the
bartender tell her that her eyes were
pretty ana her lips sweet. At any rate,
she had jolly time while with madam
at the lake. Mrs. Gresham met in this
city an old friend in the person of G. II.
Thompson. of 5SS Sixth avenue north
Mr.. Thompson was formerly president
of the Thompson Harness company of
this city.
Mrs. Gresham, therefore, found plea
sure in visiting the residence of MIR.
thompson. and did SO frequently. She
also found relief in visiting Mr. Thomp-
sons residence, for his wife is a Chris
tan Sc1entlst,an Mrs. Gresham was an
invalid and needed all the medical as
slstance she could secure. She accord
lngly spent considerable time in Mime
ap0lls, and left her two children at the
hotel In the care of the petite
French maid. But mademoiselle was
having too much fun TO waste her time
with the 'yung uns." She allowed
them to hustle for themselves, as it
were, ana when Mrs. Gresham discov-
cred how things were going she dis
charged the petite French maid. Now,
mademoiselle was not the one to brook
an ''affrOnt," SO she decided she would
be reyenged. She accordingly sent
telegram to Mr.. Gresham in. BROOKLYN,
requesting him to send her a ticket for
the return home, for she was anxious to
leave the lake. Madame. this petite
French maid said, was never at the
motel, but left her to care for the chill
dren for whole weeks alone. She did
not, she said, know where Madame was
at the present time. The telegram of
course had the desired effect, and in a
very short time Mr.. Gresham appeared
Oh the scene. When he learned how
matters stood he sent the French maid
about her business and thrashed one of
her admirers. He then gathered up his
brood and last night left for the East.
He will bring suit against a morning
paper which printed the French maids
version of the affair, and of course re-
f1ected on the character of Mrs. Gresh-
am.

Proposals Without Action.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The confer
ence committee of ten appointed by Mr..
Dockery met after adjournment of the
house today, but adjourned without
reaching any agreement. The PROPOSE
ton chiefly discussed proposed reduc-
ton in the appropriation from $1,000, 900
to 81, 100000. Several propositions were
discussed, and Representative Will
Jams, of Illinois, came forward with a
new proposition, which was received
with considerable favor by the mem
bers of the committee whosare not radi-
cal OH either Side of the fight.
This proposition was that an agree
ment should be reached to reconsider
the vote by which Mr.. Bingham's mo-
ton OF concurrence In the senate
amendment was carried, and that the
sundry civil bill should then be sent to
conference with instructions to the
house conferres to disagree to the prop
0SltlOn OF the senate and in its stead to
substitute a proposition providing for
the coinage of 100000 half-dollar sOuy-

HENNEPIN'S DELEGATION.
AS Usual, 1t Does Not Know What
to Do.


The Hennepin county delegation to
the state convention held its first meet
ing since organization yesterday after
noon at the Nicollet. Reporters we're
carefully excluded, and the delegation
went to work to control the politics of
the state. But walls have ears.
1t would require a whole edition of
the GLOBE to tell what the Hennepin
county delegation did not do. What it
did of any account can be summed up
in one woodworking The delegation
seemed to have ALI idea that its main
business was to make motions and Law
them on the table. The hottest discuss
ION arose over an attempt on the part of
5. A. Stockwell to secure an indorse-
ment of the candidacy of Ii. B.
Martin, the Peoples party candidate
for secretary of state. That motion
went the way of all the others that
were made, something less than score
to the table. 1t was proposed to take
a formal ballot on the choice for COVER
nor, but that too was defeated. The
LAWYER men claim that they would
have shown astonishing strength had
they been allowed to ballot. They are
still in the minority, apparently, but
they may have the whole delegation
with them today.
The delegation appointed first of all
committee to hire band for the coii.
vention today. Then it appointed an
advisory committee, smelling commit
tee, as it were. The duty of this com
mittee, as explained to the committee,
was to look around among the dele
gates. find out who was in
the lead for governor and report
to the delegation a recommends
ton for candidate. This committee is
composed of b. F. Nelson, Martin Ring,
d. B. johnson, Joseph Scallen, Bernard
Cloutier, S. A. March. John Nolan and
James Wiley. The delegation will meet
at 10 O'Clock this morning to hear the
report of this committee. So it looks as

SEVERE ON PINKERTONs.
Senator Palmer Calls Them Enc
mics of Mankind.

Senator Palmer Calls Them Enc
mics of Mankind.
WASHINGTON, Aug. g. There was
but one subject of public interest before
the senate today, and that one occupied
its attention for most of the three hours
that the session lasted. 1t was the res
olution reported from the committee on
education and labor for the appoint
ment of select committee of seven
senators to inquire into the organization
and employment of Pinkerton forces,
and under what authority they were
employed and used in labor cUntrOver-
sizes.
Mr.. Sherman stated the reasons why
he thought the question should not be
taken up now. In the first place, the
house of representatives had already,
in very fair and dispassIonate way.
taken up the question and examined
into the matter. Then the subject in
volved to some extent the domain of
soyereig II state. The offense referred to
in the resolution had originated in all
old and well-ordered community. The
third reason why it should not be acted
on was that the senate itself was half
alive and half dead, waiting to close its
session in peace, and with hardly
enough senators present to constitute
quorum. Still he was bound to say that
the prin cipal question raised, as to
whether any man or corporation might
employ armed men, was a very i'm
pOrtant one. He doubted whether any
corporation had a right to hire such
persons. He hoped that The resolution
would be allowed to go over till next
session.
Mr. Palmer replied to Mr. Sherman's
nlIanfinnc faunra6 tho yr,,nncoI
investigation. saying that the import
ance of it could not be Overstated. The
country would be startled at the amount
of information that would be collected
as to the extent to which such danger
oGs semi-pOlticai and semi-mlitarv Or
CARNATIONS, responsible to neither God
nor man, were employed. They ought
to be hunted down as ''enemies of man.
kind.'
Mr.. Vest also favored the proposed
investigation, and said that the Pinker-
ton force had ceased to be detective
bureau, and was now a standing army.
He described the raid made by the
PinkertOn forces into Missouri when
the homestead of the James brothers
was surrounded, and when, in the most
cruel and cOwardly manner, hand gre
nades were thrown into the house
where women and children were Sleep
ing.
Mr.. Quay said that if the select COM
mittee could go to Homestead and in
fluence the adjustment as to wages, it
would be welcome there: otherwise the
people of Homestead were not anxious
for it.
After further discussion the resolu-
ton was adopted without division.
1t provides for select committee Of
seven senators to investigate and report
the facts in relation to the employment
for private purposes of armed bodies of
men, or detectives, in connection with
differences between workmen and em-

Sheriff Swenson's trip to Fort Shell

The sheriff was armed with an order

ers to direct Col. Mason to discontinue
the target practice at the rifle range.

cordiality, but here negotiations ceased.

United States infantry refused to bow

and as answer declared the
rifle shooting would continue. Col.
Mason held that the road
which runs at the rear of
the rifle butts is not public high
way, but within the government reserva-
ton, and therefore under his control.
The colonel also claims that the farmers
who made the complaint against the
shooting are not entirely blameless in
the matter. They have, so the colonel
says, torn down some of the fences
erected by the soldiers, and otherwise
made things awkward and unpleasant.
The county attorney is of the opinion
the matter will eventually be amicably
settled. 1t is probable the case of the
farmer who was shot by stray bullet
will be investigated by the grand jury.
