THE POLICE RELIEF.
Secretary George Will Be Hauled
Over the Goals Tonight.

Secretary George Will Be Hauled
Over the Goals Tonight.
The books of the Police Relief as
ISOLATION show a deficit of $1,S60, and
there is no telling how much more
money belonging to the members can
not BE accounted for. At the meeting
of the association tonight, Secretary
George Will be asked to explain how
the deficit occurred, and 20 make
good the amount. 1t is understood that
he has declined to do anything in the
matter, and referred Supt. Smith to
Mai. Henderson. The major was presi-
dent of the association when George
was the secretary, and the remarks con-
| corning the former that floated around
the city hall yesterday were by no
means complimentary.
An attempt will be made at the meet
ing tonight to lay the foundation for a
new organization. The name will be
retained, but there will be a general
! change in the methods of doing business.
| 1t is agreed on all hands that a too care
| full system of looking after funds of the
association cannot be inaugurated, for
| the loss of even a small amount is rob

he left the uperIntendency, and he was

affabe jailer of the central station. was
promoted to MalIOn's place, and here
after will look after the three ball eStab-
lishments. 1t is likely Needham will
| be made license inspector before many
weeks have passed. He is admirably
fitted for the position. Mallon is also
well fitted for the position of secre-
! tary, and his long experience as a
newspaper reporter Will stand him in
good stead. Patrolman John McKenna
will look after the prisoners brought TO

Arguments Made in Favor of the
Repeal Bills.


TRENTON, n. j., March 7.-Speaker
Finn, in the assembly, today ruled out
of order "as unprecedented" resolu-
ton providing for public hearing OH
the memorial for the repeal Of the race
track repealers. An appeal was taken,
but the vote on appeal was then de-
clared tie, and the matter went over.
The same ruling was made in the SEN
ate. The house committee on munich
pal corporations this afternoon heard
the committee of fifty on the racing re-
pealerS. Strong speeches were made
BY prominent men against the bills.
Tomorrow the advocates of racing legiS-

CHICAGO, March 7.-More than the
usual amount of business was trans
acted at the bimOnthly meeting Of the
Western Passenger association which
was held today. The principal matter
to come up for discussion was the ques-
tiOn of worlds fair rates, and the COM
mittee of general passenger agents hav-
ing the matter in charge reported that
they had been unable to decide upon
any definite plan, and requested more
time, which was granted. 1t is to re-
port at special meeting which will be
called as soon as they have report
ready. The association was addressed
by committee of the United Com
mercial Travellers association upon the
question OF interchangeable 5,000-mlle
tickets, but owing to the fact that sew
eral other organizations which were to
be represented at the meeting had
mistaken the date, the matter
went over to the next meeting.
A committee, representing JobberS' as
SOclations of st. Paul, Minneapolis, Du
lutn and Superior, made strong plea
for the same reduced rates from Chi
cago to the Northwest as would prevail
in the opposite direction during the
worlds fair. The matter will be acted
upon at date in the near future. The
revision Of the association agreement
Was deferred to the special meeting, to
be called the latter part of this month.

leading. The general opinion seemed TO
be that Mr.. Cleveland had entered office
with great many veXatiouS problems
confronting him, but that he wOuld
eventually solve them all and give the
country one of the best administrations
in its history. The Republican party,
one OF the speakers thought, had been
buried SO deep at the last election that
it would never resurrect itself, and
many leading Republicans were now
getting into the Cleveland band wagon.

SENT HIS BROTHER.
How One Minneapolis Fireman
Attended to His Work.

The fire investigation proceeded mer-
riy last night, and once more the po-
lice were called into requisition. Secre-
tary Snyder, Chief Runge's right-hand
man, declined to come before the COM
mIttee when sent for, so a detective
went for him. Snyder was 10th
to tell what he knew. BY dint
of persuasive argument and subtle
questioning. ne divulged more of his
chiefs affairs than he will care to ac-
knowledge. Several insurance men
gave in their testimony, and added fuel
to the already raging fire. They told the
committee about an engineer of the
department who, when he felt so in.
cined, remained away from his engine
house entirely, sending his brother
TO attend fires in his stead.
On one occasion this brother
went, not knowing how to operate an
engine, neglecting to turn one of the
steam cocks during a fire i'm the resi-
dence portion of the city. The stream
from the hose had no force other than
received from the water main, and could
not reach the burning building. The
engineer apparently didn't know how
to turn the steam on, so the company
pulled up and allowed the buildlngto
burn. This incident was only one of
many related by the insurance men to
show the inefficiency of the department.

Judge Nelson on the bench. The cases
of j. Il. McCrimer against The Postal
Telegraph Cable Company; Mary !.
Lyon against 'ChelCity of Minneapolis,

The indications are that there will be
but few civil cases to try, the principal
business being among the criminal
cases. The grand jury will meet this
morning and begin its work. Among
those in the county jail awaiting the
action of the grand jury are William
Moore and Sandy Edwards, from Dayton,
Nd, held for cutting and carrying away
timber belonging to the government.
Jonas Hanson and Ole LinQuist, for the
same offense, committed in Polk county,
are also awaiting circumstances. OBJ
givetOyeshea, better known as ''Skip in
the Day." is held for selling liquor to
Indians. Peutner. the Wlnona mail
carrier, charged with Secreting and de-
stroying letters, will have his case looked
into.
The cases that will be tried this term
are those carried over from the last sit
ting. These are all for selling liquor to
Indians, the defendants being Robert
McCabe, NelS Anderson. Del Teaters,
George Gardner and Gust Holstein.

M'CLELLAND's VIEWS.
The Man From Glencoe Talks En-
tertainingIy on Politics.


tertainingIy on Politics.
Hon. R. II. McClelland, of Glencoe, is
soiOurning at the NicOllet. Mr.. Nc
Clelland is one of the best known pub
lie meu IN the Minnesota valley, having
been identified with the politics of the
Third congressional district for over
twenty years, during portion of which
time he acted as chairman of the Repub-
lican congressional committee. About
three years ago he left that party,
and by so doing practically threw away
the judgeship of the Eighth judicial
district. He was induced to make this
change by reason of his advanced views
on the tariff. Hence lis opposition to
the Mckinley bill, thus antedating the
conversion of Wayne McVeogh, Judge
Gresham and Judgs John p. Rea by
over two years.
A reporter for the GLOBE meeting
him yesterday in the TOtunda of the
NicOllet. requested an expression of his
views politically Mr.. McClelland good
naturedly replied:
"Of course | have views, and very
pronounced views, on the political out

BASsETT'S CREEK.
The Freshets Are Causing DAM
age to Property.

The council committee oh sewers met
yesterday afternoon and considered the
question of the best method of render
ing harmless the freshetS III BaS-
sett's creek. On account of the
buildings, bridges and grades along
the course of the creek, its
waters have overlooked and done much
damage. The city has in consequence
been put to considerable expense. One
overflow last summer cost the city hun
dreds of dollars. This is problem that
has bothered the city engineer and III
tereSted aldermen Tor several months
past.
The city engineer recommended that
the livery stable on Sixth avenue north
and Dupont be raised from the ground,
the floor being so low that the flow Of
water is impeded. Another obstruction
is the frame building built over the
creek on Washington avenue. The
same complaint was made of this struct-
ure, but the committee could not deter
mine upon a way to remove the build
ings without the advice of the city at
tOIney. Action was postponed until he
could be consulted.

Don,t Like Rnces.

The Minneapolis Humane society met
yesterday afternoon and gave some at
tention TO the plan of the Philadelphia
dog pound. This plan has been dis
cussed from time to time, and it is
likely that the local society will
adopt a similar one. a communi'
cation was read from the editor
of the Humane journal, Chicago, asking
the society to agitate opposition TO the
cowboy horse race to the worlds fan
from Chadron, Neb., May 10. There Is
considerable feeling among the relig-
iouS and humane society people OF
Chicago over this proposed race, and i
is desired that this sentiment be spread

Sold for Week.
CORVALLIS, Or, March THE sale
of the Oregon Pacific, which was to
have occurred today, has been post
pOned one week. The bondholders'
committee petitioned for further extern
sion of three months to allow experts
to complete examination of the books
and the properties heretofore prevent
ed by the action of the late receiver,
and also to investigate the territory
east OF the Cascade mountains, The
court is inclined to grant the petition, if
some satisfactory provision could be
made for the payment of at least $4,000
upon the back pay due the employees.
This matter not being as yet in the
shape desired by Judge Fullerton, the
sale was continued one week.

distance of eighty miles, and probably
extend it to Astoria.

Two Chippewa Indians, who gave
their names as Henry Bocher and John

having more fire water on board than
they could pilot around. They
had come to Minneapolis to APP

the Indians charges, however, and
nothing was done with him, as his place

and he could be found at any time.
