CONVENTION CHRONICLINGS.


Harris Wants More StenOgraph-
II. S. Harris, as secretary of the con-
ventiOn press committee, is doing all in
his power to organize the force of type
writer's and stenographerS which the
committee has determined to have
ready for the conveniece of the
convention reporters, should they
need their services. Mr.. Harris has
heard from number of managing
editors throughout the country relative
t. this point, and it is certain that
the efforts of the committee
in making this provision for
the convenience of the newspapers
will be appreciated. MIR. Harris has
received some applications from stenOg-
raphers and typewriters WHO are anx-
ious to do any of this work, but he
wants to hear from more of them. He
desires that young men or women who
are familiar with pot hooks and the
manipulation of the keyboard send in
their applications to him, either ct his
office address, 723 Boston block, or adj
dressed to him at convention headquar-
tiers, in the Bank of Commerce building.
He will receive applications until May
10. At that time the subcommittee hav-
ing this branch of the work in charge
will meet and decide upon what tests
shall be applied 10 determine the ETH
cheney of the applicants.
The railroad companies assure the
public that the train service from Min
neapolis to surrounding points will be
all that can be desired during the rush
of the convention. Both the Milwaukee
and the Great Northern will resume
the old Short line service schedule
between the two cities, and make ample
provisions for the traffic to Mime
tonka.
The Scandinavian Union league has
been organized for the special purpose
of taking care of the Scandinavian
delegates and newspaper men who may

BLAND ON THE ALERT.
He Springs the Silver Question
Again.


WASHINGTON, May u.-There were
two surprises in the house today. The
first was the striking from the Sundry
civil bill the appropriation of 5000, 900
for the purchase of site and the COM
mencement of new building for new
mint at Philadelphia, and the second.
the sudden Springing in the house of the
silver question by MIR. Bland, in the
shape of an amendment to the same bill
requiring the coinage and issue in pay
ment of the appropriations of the silver
bullion now in the treasury. The
amendment was ruled out, but Mr..
Bland announced that he would renew
the amendment at another place in the
bill.
After the conference report on the
urgent deficiency APPROPRIATION bill had
been agreed to, Mr.. BeItZhoover. Of
Pennsylvania, demanded the regular
order.
MIR. Watson, of Georgia, appealed to
him to withdraw that demand in the
interest of fairness. There seemed to
be some understanding between the two
sides of the house that recognition
should alternate; but the third party
received no recognition, although none
of its members mad made objection to
requests for unanimous consent. He
wanted to get an opportunity to call up
thenresolutiOn requesting the ways and
means committee to report the SUBJ
treasury bill.
Mr.. Beltzhoover said that he had called
for the regular without reference to any
one or any measure. He thought that
the house should go on with its regular
business.
MIR. Watson gave notice that hereafter
the Alliance members would object to
all requests for unanimous consent, and
he emphasized this notice by ObJecting
to Mr.. HOlman'S request that the call of
committees be dispensed with, and
shortly after the house adjourned.

Watson under bonds to keep the peace.
Editor Knapp has been printing some
funny paragraphs in his paper, most of
them aimed at the lady members of the
Lyndale Congregational church. Mrs.
Watson took offense at one of these
paragraphs, although no name was used
in it, seeming to think that she was the
parsonage made fun of. Accordingly
she appeared in Editor Knapp'S sane
tum sanctorum and threatened to cane
himreal hard. The editor, fearing she
might carry her threat into execution,
concluded 70 have her placed under
peace bonds.
Mrs. Watson was in court yesterday,
and with her the entire female portion
OF the Lyndale church. Editor Knapp
also had host of witnesses, and the
trial which followed was positively
ludicrOus. Mrs. Watson said that at
one time she had thought of Gaming the
bad editor, but had gotten all over that
feeling. 1t was evident, however. that
she still considered him ''real mean
thing" from the way her nGse elevated
itself when she referred to him. Judge
Mahoney concluded that the editors
life was in no immediate danger, so dis
missed the case.

BARON NILS POSSE.
He Delivers a Scientific Lecture
on Physical Development.

He Delivers Scientific Lecture
on Physical Development.
A small but select audience greeted
Baron Nils Posse. director of the Posse
Gymnasium of Boston, at the Lyceum
last night. The athletic baron deliv-
cred lecture under the auspices of the
Manning School of OratOry, taking
1.-The Chief Characteristics OF the Swed-
ish Gymnastics as his subject. The
baron is an entertaining lecturer, and
certainly understands physiology well.
His lecture last night was on the scien-
tific order, and was illustrated by draw
ings of the human frame and enlarged
sketches of the nerve and SEN
sorry centers and brain. He began
his lecture with dissertation on phys
biological man and psychological man,
which gradually led on to the idea he
desired to eXemplify in scientific way
physical development. There is such
an intimate correlation between the
physiological and mental constitution
that it is absolutely necessary for fine
physical development to have a fine de-
velopment of the mind, and vice versa
He explained the phenomena which
constitute physical and mental life and
how the physiological phenomena ap-
pear to be reduced to motion and the
purely psychological phenomena to sen
sation. He talked of the spinal cord,
and showed how as conducting rod it
transmits sensations TO the brain, and
as the nerve center it is the
seat of reflex action. Simple reflex ac-
ton, he said. is simple excltation, and
consists entirely in movement in part
of the body which acts through the ill.,
termedIarv of some nerve center other
than the brain. To bring about the
ability to perform functions with parts
of the external body it is necessary, he
said. to train the attention, the mind.
The BRAIN must take active part in the
training of the muscles, for a heap of
muscle without the brain to control it
and actuate 1t amounts to nothing.
When the attention is properly trained
and muscle and ability to utilize the
same are cultivated, the brain assumes
a healthy action and growth. The sum
and substance, therefore, of Baron
Passes lecture are that a DEVELOPMENT
of the mind is essential to a perfect
physical development.

est of Uniform Rates.
The real estate men of Minneapolis
in large numbers attended meeting in
the board of trade rooms yesterday
afternoon. The meeting was held pre-
liminary to the organization of the Min
neapolis real estate board. A perma-
nent organization has not yet been af-
fected. The dealers yesterday talked
and adjourned to think 1t over. The
materialize. The organization will
be a thoroughly business af-
fair. The object of it is to sys-
tematiZe the real estate business
and to secure uniformity of rates for
making valuations. selling property,
taking care of property and collecting
the rents, making leases, etc. The con-
StitutiOn will fix all the rates. The con-
StitutiOn has not yet been adopted. An
article in an evening paper last night
purpOrted to give a summary of the
constitution, but the whole tenor of the
article is misleading. None of the pro-
visions there set forth were adopted.
Those schedules were taken from a
copy of a constitution that was used as
sort of guide in the matter of CLASH
fications to be covered. The adoption
of the constitution and the election of
officers will come later. All the most
extensive real estate dealers were rep
resented at the meeting yesterday, and
all OF them became members of the
board.

Usual Insurance Rumors.

Prophecies of the dismemberment of
the underwriters union are again heard
in insurance circles. AS usual, the
stories told are conflicting. Some of
the gents say that the union is sure to
go to pieces. and that the dissolution of
the organization will be followed by
general slashing in Insurance rates.
Some of the agents openly avOw that
they are paying commissions in de-
fiance of the articles of agreement.
Other agents say that the paying of
commissions is not general, and that
the application of few 500 fines. iu-
diciOusly distributed, will effectually
stop the Irregularities. The insurance
is in about the same condition it has
been for nearly year. The union holds
together, but the agents do not agree,
and many of them totally disregard the
agreements.
