He Faced the County Commits
sioners Yesterday.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of county commissioners was
held at the court house yesterday. and
an unusually large amount of business
disposed of. the first matter taken up
being in regard to the alleged balance
due the county from ex-Register of
Deeds Julius j. Heinrich, who was rep
resented by his attorney, Judge C0rri-
gan. 1t was laid over until the next
meeting, as it is thought an amicable
settlement will be reached.
A communication was received and
read from the residents of MinnetriSta
asking the reconsideration of the vote
rejecting Bayard Il. Shaver for assist
ant county superintendent of 'SchOols;
one also being received from Excelsior,
MinnetOnka, Independence and St.L0uiS
Park and various other parts of the coun-
ty. A lengthy and red-hot discussion
was entered into in which County Su-
perintendent Lewis, who was present,
denied that there had been any neglect
of the county schools. Shaver himself
was called upon and expressed a will
lngneSS to answer any ana all questions,
and an invitation was also extended to
the crowd present to take a hand in the
rumpuS. Two responded, Mr. Gary, of
Independence, and Judge Bailey both
speaking for Shaver. Commissioners
Dwyer andEgan then engaged in short
but warm passage of words, and the
matter was finally laid over until the
next meeting.
Lewis agreed that in the event Shay
er be retained he would, in cOnSidera-
finVn NJ &c rr.Af Of
HIM and pay him out of his own salary.
The probable outcome will be that
Lewis will visit the schools in the north
of the county, which Is all Egan Is fight
ing for.
A petition asking permission to incor-
porate the village of Robbinsdale was
read and referred. A petition asking
permission to attach S65 acres, described,
to the village of Golden Valley was re-
ferred to the county attorney. A petit
ton to incorporate the village of Hills
dale was referred to the county attor-
ney.
The report of Willis A. Plummer, reg
lister of deeds, showed 359 deeds rec.
orded. 324 mortgages and 2S7 satisfac-

The report of Clerk of Courts Dickey
shows an income TO the county of
S970.4S, and an outlay for salaries of
sl,0l6.64, being net loss to the county

The commissioners authorized the
sale of the dredge boat to the park board
for the sum of $4,000. to be paid for in

NATIVE SENTIMENT
In Hawaii Divided on the Annex
alton Proposition.

In Hawaii Divided on the Annex
alton Proposition.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-The
schooner Wizman arrived today from
Honolulu. with news up to Feb. -.
Opinions there as to the course that
will be taken by the United States
are as diverse as the many factors
in Hawaiian politics. AS a general
proposition, however. the American and
German interests In Hawaii strongly
urge upon the government at Washing
ton the necessity of protecting the bust
ness interests at least of the Islands by
annexing them. The native Hawaii
ans are divided OH the prop
Osition, on one side being
an innate love for royalty, af-
lection for Princess Kaiulani, now being
educated in England, and pride in nat
i've institutions, on the other side de-
sire for greater prosperity and greater
enfrancbiSement, which would follow
the Inauguration of republican rule, as
one of the American states. The English
sentiment against annexation is not so
strong us that which prevails against
the idea of Hawaiian republic, and it
has even been stated on good authority
that at no time within the past five
years would Great Britain have seri-
ously protested against the islands form
ing part of the United States.
The barkentine Hilo arrived here
from Honolulu this evening. She left
there Feb. Is, and brings advices two
| days later than those received this
morning. The only additional intelli
gence is the fact that the United States
man-of-war Alliance arrived at Homo
| lulu Feb. 16 from Samoa, increasing the
American naval strength there to three
vessels.

Session and Elect Their

The fire department investigation
committee held another one OF its air.
tight sessions last night in the Office of
Aid. Miner, Boston block. The meet
ing commenced shortly afteI o'clock
and lasted several hours. Most of the
session was taken up with listening to
the testimony of number of Insurance
men, all of them members of the under
writer's association. There were nine
insurance men present, and the facts
they gave the C, nm tlee, 1t is understood,
caused certain III .nUerS of it to turn pale
and red in turn, with establishment.
The insurance nell adduced facts show
ing that the raise of per cent i'll the
insurance rates was largely due to the
peculiar conditions existing in the fire
department. Politics, which had come
in at the window of the department,
bad caused harmony and efficiency to
run out of the door. All this tended to
lessen the confidence of the insurance
companies in the efficiency of the de
partment. and it was to their interest to
raise the rates for self-prOtectiOn.
Several of the insurance men also
testified that during large fires consid-
cradle of the stock of the mercantile
establishments was stolen, and the in
Surance companies were forced to pay
for it. 1t was intimated by the GLOBES
informant that they testified that the
stuff was stolen by members of the fire
department.
a number of the regular firemen were
also called upon to testified. One fire.
man was sent for by the committee, but
he refused to attend the session. The
committee decided that he must come,
so note was sent to police head
quarters asking for policeman. The
policeman was wanted to go and
bring the fireman to the meeting
whether lie would or no. Whether the
policeman did as the note from the com
mittee requested is not known. 1t is
known, however. that the fireman at
tended the meeting and gave in his
testimony with the rest. The commit
tee will be ready to give the public
some information concerning their
secret sessions ere long, and 1t is prom
ised to be sensational enough to please
the most eXacting.
1t was learned last night that Chief
Runge and his henchmen are holding
daily meetings in room in a building
within a stones throw of fire depart
ment headquarters. What tranSpires
at these meetings will perhaps never be
known.
The firemen are now looking into the
relief association matter, and in a short
time a formal demand will be made for
a thorough investigation OF the books of
the association. 1t is claimed that Chief
Runge has never given the members of
the association 4 bit of information con-
corning the financial condition of the
institution. The firemen will now de-
mand that an expert accountant be
given the books and that a full report
OF all the dealings of the association be
made public.
