WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--Mr. Blaine and
Montt, the Chilean minister, had a long
interview at the formers residence Tues
day. 1t is rumored that Montt has re-
ceived copy of the report of the pro
curator fiscal on the Baltimore incident
and that he furnished a copy to Mr..
Blaine Tuesday, but the report cannot
be verified. Another report is that he
received instructions to make a full
apology, but this also likes confirmation.

river, where the proposed right of
way would have taken up every foot
Of available ground, even when the
tool house is removed. Mayor Willard
showed the suicidal policy of giving
this entirely away to one road, when
such road as the Great Northern
may want to pass this point. The
amendments adopted are believed to
preserve a portion of this strip for fu-
ture use. Compared with the import
ance of saving this point, the question
Of space at the bridge dwarfs into in
significance. AS finally adopted, the
ordinance will meet with DO objection
and all Of our citizens will hope that
the new road will be speedily con-
structed and be profitable both to the
city and TO its projectors. There was
never any opposi tion to the road, and
only the small amount of levee space
left delayed the passage of the ordi-
nance until the interests Of the city
could be protected.
We hope that the Mankato & North
eastern will in the near future be-
come a reality.

CURES PILES.
A NARROW ESCAPE.

R. H. Hughes, father of County At
torney Hughes, was in the city to-day
and told the particulars of the burning
of his house, in Cambria, Monday
night. During the night his wife got
up and lit match for some purpose.
A half hour afterwards, about one
o'clock, the family was awakened by
an explosion, and found the house
wrapt in flames. They had just time
enough to make their escape in their
night clothes, and were unable to
save anything except the valuable
papers. No one except the little boy,
who ran back and got his clothes but
was obliged to Jump out of the win
dow, saved so much as pair of shoes.
The fire started from the kitchen
and the wind blew the flames upon
the main part of the house, but for
tunately away from the barn. The
explosion doubtless saved the family
but whether it was a lamp or a cart
| ridge is unknown.
| The loss is estimated at 81 200
| There is 5000 insurance upon the build
ing and 500 upon the furniture. Mr.
Hughes will rebuild as soon as posi-
BILE. He is an old and worthy resi-
| dent of the county and the loss fall:
heavily upon him.

THE TARIFF NOT A TAX.

The free traders tariff tax on wire
nails is 2cents pound, which he says
is paid on every pound of them bought
and used in this country, but they are
selling, according to The Iron Age, of
April IA, at 65-l00 cents a pound, 3!
mills less than the alleged tax.
1t is only few years ago when,
under low tariff, wire nails were so
high that farmers could not afford to
use them at all. Now, under the Nc
Kinley law, they sell cheaper than
ever before, and the farmer can drive
them into his fence posts or sheep
sheds with the satisfaction Of know
ing that he is driving absolutely the
best and cheapest wire nails in the
world, Notwithstanding the grind
ing tariff on them, Econ

MANKATO WINS.

Sixteen members of the Republican
Congressional committee held a meet
ing at The Saulpaugh Wednesday
morning, to,decide upon the date and
location of the Congressional conven-
ton next fall. A strife arose as to
the location, Marshall and New Ulm
each desiring to secure it. An adj
journment was taken until later in
the forenoon. when a vote was taken
and resulted as follows: Mankato Z,
Marshall I, New Ulm 2. Upon the
second ballot the New Ulm votes
went to Mankato, resulting in the
choice of the latter city. AS the state
convention has not yet been called, it
was decided to leave with the chair
man the fixing of the date, to be
shortly before the state convention.
MankatO is the natural center of the
district commercially and politically,
as well as in the excellence of her rail-
road facilities. Every road in the
district runs directly to this city,
while in order to reach either of the
other cities it would be necessary for
many of the delegates to pass through
Mankato, entailing a much heavier
expense than otherwise.

THE MANKATO & NORTHEASTERN.

The council Tuesday night held an
other meeting to consider the rail-
road ordinances, and finally succeeded
in adopting that relating to the Man
kato s. Northeastern, after several
important amendments had been
adopted. AS passed, the ordinance
gives the road right of way through
the city fifty feet wide, except be-
tween Washington street and the
continuation of Walnut street, where
the width is reduced to thirty feet,
and where it shall hug the Omaha
right of way. The provision relating
to depot grounds was stricken out,
and another ordinance will hereafter
be brought in providing for such
grounds back of The Saulpaugh or
further south.
The amendments urged in last even
ings issue of this paper, and demanded
by all thinking citizens, were adopted
but not without a close call. Four OF
the aldermen had met in the morning
with the railroad officials and ha6
agreed to the ordinance as proposed
by the road. 1t required the utmost
efforts of Aid. Hubbard, seconded BY
Mayor Willard, to prevent the giving
away of the city's birthright for ;

A WASHINGTON correspondent says
that the only visible policy which the
Democratic House has so far exhibited
is that of starving the government.
Continuing he says: They can not
make any pretense to sincere and con-
sisteDt economy. The reduction
made in the salaries of ministers and
consuls, so far as agreed upon in the
committee of the whole, will not
make UP the amount this Congress
has wasted by increasing unnecessarily
it's clerical force. There are more en-
ployes in the present House han ever
before in the history of the govern
ment. The expenditures for useless
Investigations, unnecessary employees
and other such purposes will amount
to five times as much as the amount
that will be ''saved" by reducing the
pay of the men representing the gov,
eminent abroad. This illustrates De.
mocratic economy.

ST. PAUL is ALL WRIGHT.
The Good People of the SANITY
City Drive the Gang From
Their Quarters.
And Elect Col. Wright Mayor
by 5000 Majority.

St. Paul has been redeemed from
ring rule and the Republicans, aided
by the ProhibitionistS, Independents
and those Democrats who were dis
gusted with the present state of af-
fairs, are in full control of the city
government. 1t was a grand victory,
for not only did the Republicans elect
their mayor and the remainder of
their general ticket, but a majority
of the city council as well. 1t was a
stinging rebuke upon the way munic-
ipal affairs have been conducted
there for the past few years, and a
merited one.
The Democrats howled that the
fair name of st. Paul had been at
tackled and called upon the people re-
buke the defamers. Their call was
answered, and well answered, but not
in fact the way they had hoped.
The Republicans have won great
victory, and with it came great re-
sponsibilities. They declared that
certain abuses existed and rhat they
would correct them, and now they
must do it. They have promised the
people of that city better
government and they are adj
mirably fitted to carry out their
promise. Col. Wright, the mayer
elect, is one of ST. Paul's most success
full business men and will carry into
his new position the same character
istics which have won him such sue
cess and popularity in private life.
