OPINIONS AND FACTS.

St. Paul was touched in transit by
WHITELAW REID, of the New York
Tribune, and the candidate for vice
presidential honors, who in company
with D. o. MILLS, his father-in-iaw.
was homeward bound from coast
tour. Mr.. REID was caught. of course,
by the ubiquitous reporter and gave
down the usual quantity and quality Of
Eastern surprise at finding houses here
instead of wigwams. He passed easily
under the gentle guidance of his in
quisitor to the financial situation, which
is the result Of ''uncertainty." Nobody
knows what the next step will be-, he
said. With consideration which
speaks we'll for his kindly disposition.
he refused to blame the present admin
istration, because no one knows what
the next step will be, but carefully re-
served all rights by admitting that he
had "an opinion about that" He takes
the view prevalent i'll his own party as
to the significance of platform declara-
tons, and thinks that, III spite of what
the Democrats declared should be done,
mo one can foretell whether the tariff
will be let alone, tinkered with or re-
duced." Confidence will be restored
when these little uncertainties are re-
moved. On this point he is luminous.
Mr.. MILLS, who is a banker and a
politician only to the extent Of putting
up quarter of million when WHITE
LAW is candidate for vice president,
was also interviewed, aud differed with
lis eminent son-in-Iaw, regarding the
uneaSineSS as in the past instead of the
present tense. The uneasineSs was
caused by the fear of foreign investors
in our railway and other securities that
we were drifting rapidly to a point where
their investments would be paid in sill
yer, and they hustled them back here
and sold them for gold, which they took
home and slowed away in their strong
boxes.
Almost spontaneously there occurred
down in Massachusetts a little fact that
demonstrates pretty satisfactorily that
whatever uneasiness may have been felt
had no relation to the administration,
the finances or the tariff. In the Seventh
congressional district an election was
held to fill the vacancy caused by the
election of Mr.. LODGE TO the senate. 1t
is the heart of the manufacturing dis
trict OF the state. including Lynn and
Charlestown in its boundaries. Last
fall LODGE received plurality of 2,611
and majority of 1,749. This year Dr..
EVERETT, the Democratic candidate.
carries the district by plurality of IA.

promises made, and by which they voted
to hold the convention here, are left to
put up with the very little the home
press club can do. What can we expect
them to say for st. Paul when they get
home? Tie city will justly be roasted
to a turn in every one OF these great
dailies. Z he city would be a thousand
times better off if the convention should
fail to meet.
There is Just this about it: If it is
worth anything to US to have these con-
ventions Of distinguished people. the
common council must make appropria-
tons sufficient to entertain respectfully
our guests, and thus encourage our citi-
zens to secure for us such gatherings.
The outcome of this convention will be
taken by very many as fair warning that
they need hold out no inducements for
national events to come to st. Paul.
The $4,000 fund of 1892 was not brok-
en- into during the year, and it is all APP
propriated to the HILL celebration. The
SO, 900 fund Of this year is yet unbrOk-
en-. and there is no earthly reason why
5000 could not be taken from it for this
event. The refusal to appro pirate any
amount is unjust to the city, and hui
initiating to the press club. What can
the members of our club say to these
men as an excuse for the puny greet
ing? Nothing; they can only hang their
heads in shame. To explain to the Wis
ltors the true cause for it would be more
humiliating than to keep silent upon

The Crane Engagement.

The announcement of the appearance
of William IL. Crane at the MetropOli-
tan, commencing next Monday night, is
a welcome one to the play-goers of St.
Paul. Mr.. Cranes'S popularity here is
founded on genuine artistic merit, and
his return is always a pleasure. The
event is more noteworthy from the fact
that he will produce during his engage
ment two of his successful comedies,
both Of which have had long runs at
the Star theater, New York.
The first half of the week he will
present 'On Probation" which had a
long run in New York this winter. and
is described as comic play aud is full
of bright sayings and laughable situa-
tions. The latter part of the week the

edy, The Senator" will begin. The

VERY sHORT-s,G4TED

The refusal of the common council to
make any appropriation for the enter
tainment of the delegates from the vari-
Gus press clubs who will attend the
annual convention of The International
League of Press Clubs, May is, 10 and 20,
is so very shOrt-sighted as to seem mig
gardly. These delegates will represent
all the metropolitan press clubs of the
United States and Canada, and are men
who are connected with the editorial
STATS of the first papers of New York
city, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago
st. Louis, New Orleans, San Francisco.
Montreal, Toronto, anG alls the other
large cities of both countries. The con-
VenUlon of last year was held in San
Francisco, and our delegates to it Sc
cured this years meeting for st. Paul,
promising the association royal greet
ing and tirSt-cIass blowout.
Two years ago the common council
appropriated $1,000 for the entertain
ment of the National Editorial associa-
ton, which IS composed only of country
editors. The event of this year is of
far greater Importance to st. Paul
than that. San Francisco appropriated
$4,000 for the entertainment of these
men. What must they think of st.
Paul as they compare their Indifferent
reception here with the magnificent one
at San Francisco? The st. Paul Press
club is without the means to carry the
matter through, except upon very
limited scale; and il. the club had. it
would be unjust to ask that the money
be spent for what is of vastly less i'm.
portance to the members than to the
city at large.
The press club asked the council to
appropriate $1,000 for the event. The
matter came up first in the board of
aldermen, where an ordinance appro-
prlating $500 was adopted. In the as
Sembly the ordinance was defeated, only
one man voting against it, but whose
vote was needed.

TALKED WITH BLAINE.
Senator Frye Tells OF CONVEX

the Convention.
The Plumed Knight Then Re-
fused to Be Candidate
for President.

Boston. May 2. = Music hall was
filled tonight on the occasion of the
eulogy of the late James G.. Blame
which was delivered by Hon. w. P.
Frye, United States senator from Maine,
the meeting being under the auspices of
the city. Mr.. Frye reviewed in detail
the life and achievements of the great
statesman. OF the late Republican con-
vention the speaker said:

vigOr. his eye was undimmed, his
talk delightful. / told him that lie
was to be listener for a while and
allow me to be the talker; that l had
come as an envoy from the people; that

L thought his friends who had stood by
him all these years were entitled to
take advantage of this splendid oppor-
tunity and realize their hopes.
He replied to me that he had given
the subject probably more considera-
ton than any or all of his friends; that
he knew himself and his physical con-
dition better than they; that any par
ticlpatlon on his part in a political cam
paign would kill him before the contest
was over; that if, as | suggested, he
should remove himself from its
eXcitementS, he could not live
and perform the duties of the
president of the United States three
months; he said that his course was
marked out, and that nothing on earth
could lead him to deViate from it; that
when the weather became warm enough
for residence at Bar Harbor he should
resign his office as secretary of state,
go to that summer home and never
more have anything whatever TO do

because in that convention were some
devoted friends of Mr.. Blaine, who had

qua. The diners met in the banque I
room on the parlOr floor of the Audito-

over the doors. On the tables were mag
nlhcent nOsegayS of flowers - scarlet
and yellow - and each guest showed
respect to Spain's representative by
wearing a DOutonniere of the same
colOrs. The entire affair was Casliiian,
as far as possible. All the dishes i'm the
long dinner were such as the duke Is
accustomed to having in his native
country, and the menu card was printed
III Spanish from end to end. The usual
number OF t0aSts were made, and the

"A WORTHY UNDERTAKING.


The determination of the st. Paul and
Minneapolis Choral association to give
concert at the Columbian exposition
is very worthy aspiration. The inter-
est taken in home musical undertakings
is not commensurate with the talent of
these two cities. There are sopranos
in both cities who compare fayorably
with noted singers of the stage, and we
have also several tenors better than
many who are drawing high salaries as
professionals. But they are not appre-
ciated: they will not be until they step
outside their home circles. ga prophet
is not without honor" etc, applies with
more force to musical people than any
other. Could these people go outside
and gain distinction. it would result in
musical revival here such as has never
been seen.
1t is not likely that the choral associa-
ton can gain marked distinction by
few concerts at the worlds fair: but it
would be beginning in the right direc-
ton. Some of the best voices would
attract the attention of distinguished
musical directors, and before long the
way would be open to the desired re-
suits.
Every one who has attended the
association feels confident that the con-
certs at the exposition will rank among
the best heard there.

PARIS. May 2.-The Behring sea tri-
bunal Of arbitration res umed its session
today, Lord Hannen, the British arbi-
traitor who has been ill. being sufficiently
recovered to be present. J. e. Carter,
of counsel for the United States, pro-
ceeded TO argue on the subject of regu-
lations, but was Interrupted by Sir
Charles Russell, of counsel for Great
Britain, who said that Great Britain
would not recede from the position that
the question of rights should be argued
apart from the question of regulations.
Sir Charles Russell stated however,
that he would lot object TO Mr.. Carter
presenting a statement of his views on
the subject. An animated discussion
followed, in which Baron de Courcelles,
president of the tribunal, American Ar
bitrator Harlan, British Arbitrator Lord
Hammer, Sir Charles Russell and Hon.
E. j. Phelps took part. 1t was finally
decided that counsel for Great Britain
should argue the question OF rights and
the question of regulations separately.
but that the tribunal would not give
separate decisions. Mr.. Carter then pro-
ceeded with his argument, which he
concluded today. From beginning to
end Mr.. Carter had spoken forty hours.
president Of the court, said:
Il cannot refrain from thanking you,
sir, for this magnificent speech. which

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

The Rochester Record and Union
says: A possibility of intercommunica-
ton along the great lakes is a line of
great steamers running from Buffalo TO
Duluth in fifty hours. The distance is
about 900 miles, and the promoters of
the new line believe that the voyage
will constitute an agreeable break in the
monotouy of transcontinental trip.
No better time could have been chosen
in which to test the commercial value of
such a route.
