Knute Nelson. the Republican candidate for
Governor of Minnesota, is a great favorits

about five feet five inches in hight, and wears
a eloseiy-cropped, dark chin beard. streaked
with gray. He is a lawyer by profession. Mr.
Nelson Is well known in Washington. having
served in Congress several terms There is
rivalry existing between Mr.. Nelson and IKna-
thus DonDelly. the champion of the Peoples
Party Ia Minnesota, which is the result of an
oid-time rivalry in the Minuesota Senate 10
years ago. They were continually at war on
points Of parliamentary procedure, and as Dom
nelly was even then n recognized authority in
that line it nettled him to be outwitted, as he
frequently was. by the keen minded little Nor

During lull in the business of the Senate
on Friday evening Senator Mandeyson, of Ne
braska, made statement of the business trans
acted by the Senate at this session. He said
that there were not to exceed six House bills
on the Calendar undisposed Of Not less than
7O9 bills had been passed, of which the House
had agreed to only 100. Of the AGO bills passed
by the House, the Senate had enacted 314 into
laws Not single nomination had been re-
jected, and only three died with the session.
Senator Allison, of Iowa, Chairman of the Com
mttee ON Appropriations, stated that the ap-
preparations made by the first session of the
SD Congress aggregated $507, 100000, as
against $463 900, 600 for the first session Of the
last Congress-an increase of $44, o00, 600. The
principal items of increase were in pensions
and for the Postoffice Department. There
were some diminutions, notably in the de-
ficiency appropriations and miscellaneous
items. The latter was due to the fact that no
public building bills had been passed by this
Congress He thought he could claim for tho
Senate Committee on Appropriations and for
the Senate itself, that during this session the
regular appropriation bills had been carefully
scanned, and that scanning had not been
political in its character. 1t was obvious to all
that postal facilities and postal expenditures
were constantly increasing, and 30 there had
b.en eight millions added to the Postoffice APP
preparation bill at this session rs compared
with two years ago. And yet the postal ap-
preparations would fall very short of meeting
the necessary expenditures for the fiscal year
1893 and large deficiencies for the Postofice
Department and for other departments of the
Government would be necessary at the next
session. For instance, the appropriation for
United States courts was about million less
than was necessary, and that was true In re-
gard to other departments of the Government.
The following table shows the amounts ap.
propriated during the 51st and SD Congresses:

CHAT OF TIE CORRIDORS,

A number of years ago. long before what is
known as the West End or nabob neighborhood
OF Washington had become the resident section
OF the elite OF the National Capital, Mr.. Chris
tian Heurich bought ground and built brew
cry. A short time ago the brewery caught fire
and was almost totally destroyed. Mr Hen.
rich is considered a wealthy citizen, and he
Immediately applied to the District Commits
sioners for permit to rebuild his brewery.
Senator Call, Of Florida, has q residence in
the immediate neighborhood of Mr.. Heurich's
brewery, aud the brewery is an Objectionable
feature 10 the Florida Senator. Consequently
Senator Call, who is reckoned one of the
great constitutional lawyers of Congress, and
o strict constructionist, introduced q resoiu-
tion in the Senate the day after the FIRE at
the brewery, which provided that Mr.. Heu-
rich should be prohibited from rebuilding
his brewery on the old site This resolution
was referred to q committee, and soon after
ward Senator Call received information that
permit had been granted the owner of the
brewery to rebuild. Thereupon the Florida
Senator Indignantly introduced q resolution
peremptorily demanding of the Commissioners
Of the District OF Columbia an official answer to
the question: Why they dared issue build
Ing permit when proposition was pending In
Congress TO prohibit such sction?" The Sena-
tors all smiled at Mr.. Calls indignation, and
