The general bridge committee met
in Duluth on Saturday afternoon and
adopted the report of the special com
mittee, which provided for steel
combination bridge. Before being adj
opted the report was amended 50 as to
make the bridge when completed, free
to foot passengers, the motion being
made by ASSemblyman Z. G.. Mills
During the meeting Capt. McDougall
made an excellent address on the har-
bors of the head of the lakes stating
that it was greater than any place be
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific
and suggested that standing com
mittee composed Of prominent citizens
of Superior and Duluth should be ap-
pointed whose special duty it would be
to procure from congress appropria-
lions for the improvement of the har-
bors of both cities The suggestion
was accepted as an excellent one and
the committee will be appointed at an
early date.

The States in the northern part of
the Mississippi Valley and on the Pa
cliic Slope have an especial interest in
the development of inland waterways.
Even in the present undeyeloped state
of the natural resources of this terri
! tory, great quantities of iron ore, lum-
Der and grain are produced in these re-
glunS and there is no doubling the fact
that the future development of the
United States is going to be largest in
that region between the Great Lakes
and the Pacific Gcean-the Great
Northwest. At the head of Lake Su-
perlOr and Lake Michigan are situated
the greatest collecting and distribute
ing centerS of the United States; to-
ward these points flow the surplus
products of the entire Northwest east
of the Rocky Mountains, from these
centerS are sent the lumber, coal and
wares to supply the necessities of this
same region. 1t is manifest that if
waterways are to play any important
part III cheapening transportation
here is their proper theatre.-From

st. Francis Hospital sent com
municatiOn to the council Tuesday ev-
ening, from which it appears that for
the year ending September !, 1898,
that institution cared for 63 patients
sent by the city officials, total of 25S
weeks and four days at a charge of
$40 per week which included board,
doctor, care and medicine, amounting
to $2,6S5 all of which is still due and
unpaid. The hospital management
also serves notice that it Will receive
no more city patients until somebody
becomes responsible for the expenses.
All this sounds nice for city which
boasts that it has $50, 900 to throw
away on normal school building.

Our city council is going into
farming. This is an expensive luxury
but ID the expense say they, the
big fool PEOPLE who elected us alder
men have to pay the bills. They pro
pose, like Captain Jinks of the Horse
Marines, to feed the firemenS horses on
oats and beans, and propose to raise
the grub on the Dean Park land This
brilliant thought first found life III the
supposed absolutely sterile Uranium of
Alderman Rice. We guarantee that
every bnshel of oats raised by the coun-
Gil process will cost the city 800 per

\ ON. REVIEW OF Reviews.
1t Is announced on REASONABLE

1t IS announced on reasonably good
authority that the Minnesota Iron
Company Will in few days begin min.
ing operations on the Vermillion
range Also that other interests at
Tower and Ely Will be revived. We
trust the rumOrS are well founded and
that the work will soon begin, even
though they begin on a Free Trade
basis of wages, as it is affirmed will be
the case. This would be good deal
better than nothing, and then if the
Democrats should not be able to re-
peal the Mckinley tariff laws, our
wages can be raised again.

Curry collided with a street car near
Cadotte avenue. The horse was in

A WILD CABLE CAR.

1t Does Worse Than . Texas Steer I'm the
Streets of New York.
New YORK. July Cat 2:45 o'clock
yesterday afternoon a cable car became
unmanageable on Broadway near the
city hall park and started on a rampage
toward the Battery. The gripman was
unable to release the grip. and under
the circumstances the brake was use
less.
In front of the post Office the rum
away crashed into the rear platform OF
a horse car ahead. The driver of the
horse car refined his horses to one side
just in time to save them from being
run down. Both horses where thrown
into the street and the traces were torn
away. With the partly demolished
horse car ahead, the still unmanageable
car continued on its mad course. The
gripman struggled and strove with all
his might to release the grip, falling in
which he shouted warnings to every
body in sight. His bell rang at a
double rate. The passengers in both
cars became terribly alarmed and made
rush for the door, but the conductor
INSTRUCTED their way and prevented
any body from leaving.
Near st. Paul's church yard on Broad
way, there was blockade of horses
and wagons and number of trucks
were standing on the track. The rum
away cars dashed into the first one.
The wheels of the vehicle were torn
off and the horses thrown down, while
| the driver was hurled against the wall
of the church yard. He escaped with
| slight injuries.
Still the cars rushed on, blowing
| through trucks and knocking down
! horses. The drivers had warning and
escaped, but owing to the block
| ade they were unable to save their
horses and wagons. When the cars
had cut a passage through the block
| age, seven horses were stretched upon
the ground and five wagons Were
rendered fit for the repair shop. When
| it was seen that nothing could stop the
| cars, some one rushed to the telephone
and notified the power house. The
cable was stopped and the cars came to
| a standstill below Trinity church.
| Traffic on Broadway was suspended for
| while.

Whites OF the Cherokee Nation Prepare
an Unpleasant Surprise.
FORT GIBSON. July ct is reported
that w. j. Watts, leader of the Chero-
kee Citizenship association, has COM
pleted all arrangements to begin legal
action should the delegation sue
ceed in selling the bonds and at
tempt to pay the money out
without recognizing the whites as
Cherokee citizens. He has a bond
prepared with proper securities prepar-
atory to fling an inju notion on a por-
ton of the strip money should it be-
come necessary to do SO. 1t is also
stated that he has procured the services
of the best attorneys in Fort Smith,
Ark, and Washington to assist him in
this work.
This report has created a good deal
of excitement, for should such action
be taken it would delay the payment
of the money. The board Of appraisers
will arrive here in day or so and it is
expected that from them can be learned
something of this matter
