CHAMBER OF COM MEEoE.


School Accommodations Civ
the Bishops a Drive.
The chamber of commerce held an I'M
usually large meeting yesterday morn
ing, there being some forty-five or fifty
members in attendance. The motion
of Director Smalley in reference to lack
OF school accommodations in the city of
st. Paul was taken up and motion
offered and adopted for a committee of
three to consider and make report to
the next meeting. The committee
named was G. d. Gilben. j. q. Pyle, II.
Il. Dorr.
The chamber then went into executive
session, and the exit of the news gath
ererS followed in short order. The eX-
ecutive session lasted about half an
hour. The business before the secret
meeting, it was afterwards ascertained,
was the consideration of the amendment
offered some time ago by G. ID. Gilben
relating to changes in the bylaws. 1t
appears that in addition to the annual
membership fee of $40, the amendment
sought to enforce the further payment
of $40 by each director. The proposed
amendment was defeated.
EX-President Hackett suggested that

ence to the cutting of stone for the new
postoffice building. and. on the motion
being made, 1t was referred to the COM
mittee Oh manufactures for report.
On motion of II. S. Fairchild, it was
resolved to extend an invitation to the
NJ. E. bishops and others now in this
city to take a carriage ride to see the
principal sights and attractions of st.
, Paul, and the matter was referred to the
committee on reception and Secretary
Beaumont.

In the evening all anniversary meet
ing was held, Bishop Walden presiding.
ami the first speaker was Rev. Dr. Fresh
water, of Ohio. His remarks were
almost exclusively confined to an eX-
PLANTATION and elucidation of the society
ana its objects, which were declared to
be directed mainly to the civilization
and ChristianiZation of the people of
the South, both white and black. He
spoke highly of the successful results
already achieved. and predicted a still
more tiattering outcome for the future.
He was followed by colored orator
named Scott, who came from Louisiana.
He detailed the needs and requirements
of the Southern negro in his present
condition, and declared that the white
man alone can rescue the black man
FROM his present debased condition. If
the white man does not lend a helping
hand, the negro will not emerge from
his present barbarism, but will sink
lower in the depths of degradation, and
take along with him the white as we'll
as the colored.
At this point Bishop Walden stood up
and asked the company to join him in
singing ga Charge to Keep | Have.'
This was done, when the bishop, after a
few remarks, resumed his chair and
Bishop Malaiieu was introduced and
spoke for ten or fifteen minutes, in
which interval he gave an account of
the situation in Louisiana, and detailed
the horrible scenes connected with the
lynching of the Italians in that city two
years ago. The bishop also described

KEYSTONG STATE,
Very Little Interest Taken in the
Election.

Very Little Interest Taken in the
Election.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-Pennsyl-
vania has never known an election,
either state or national, in which so
little interest has been taken by the pub
lie. The fact that there are absolutely
no bets, save possibly hat here or
there, to be decided by the result, midi
Gates just how little the people care who
is elected. As far as the. state is con-
cerned, the only question to be decided
is how large the majority for the Repub-
lican state ticket will be. The
Democrats concede that it will
be $4,000, sanguine Republicans
claim 100000, and conservative Re-
pdblicanS are confident that their ma
jority will reach at least 10000. Ii the
claims of the Democrats are substan-
tiated the result will be Republican
loss. while if those of the sanguine Re
publicans prove true the Republicans
will gain. A majority OF $4,000
for the Republican ticket will
be about Stand-Off. There are
a few counties i'll which the Democrats
have some show of electing their judi
cial candidates, and factional fights III
other counties, notably Allegheny, may
cause some surprise. Upon the whole,
however, there seems but little basis
upon which 10 predict anything.

Asphalt Very Ancient.

The st. Paul Civil Engineers society
had an interesting meeting last night at
headquarters in the court house. The
address of the evening was delivered by
Ma VI. i. Howard. his subject being
Natural Asphalt and Its Compounds"
In speaking OF the Importance of the
asphalt, he staten that ninety-one cities
use it. entailing an annual expenditure
of S50,000,000 of city money, and en-
ploying 5000 men in refining and laying
it. The uses and advantages of the
material were discussed and the history
traced back to 525 years before Christ in
Egypt. 1t was used as cement in build.
ing the Tower of Babel. Its cheapness
was considered to show its availability
for street paving.

He Has Not Resigned, and Is In

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The report is
being widely circulated tonight that
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren has
resigned. The reason assigned for the
resignation is that he is an old soldier,
and is dissatisfied with the attitude of
the administration concerning reforms
in the pension list. 1t is also rumored
that First Deputy Murphy will take
charge.
Secretary Smith, when seen tonight,
eontradicted the report and insisted
there was no truth in it. Commissioner
Lochren, when questioned regarding
his resignation, said: you can deny
in the most emphatic terms for me any

LOWRY WANTS PAY.
Gave Music at Como, Expecting
Compensation.

At last nights meeting of the park
| board the bill of the st. Paul City Rail-
way company for furnishing music at
Como park was returned by Comp.
| troller McCardy, with the statements
that there is no contract for the support
of the bill. and that it does not seem
clear that the park board has the power
to pay for music in the park or else
where. The bill was presented and
allowed at a former meeting of the
board of park commissioners. 1t stated
on its face that it was due the street
railway company for their proper
ton of music furnished at Como park
as per agreement. The amount
of the bill is $500. Accompanying
the bill was a letter from the office of
the Minneapolis Street Car company,
addressed to M. D. Mum, of this city,
who is the attorney of the company
here, stating that it was the understand
ing that the ST. Paul Street Car company
was to give eight concerts at Como park
to entitle it to the sum of money named,
and that the concerts had been given.
The park board held the bill in abeY-
auce last night. claiming that it has the
right to contract Tor the services, and
will use its efforts with The comptroller
TO have it paid.
1t appears that the bill is nothing
more nor less than to compensate the
street railway company for building
track around Como avenue bridge by
way of Atwater street. so as to cross
over Western avenue bridge, to avoid
the transfer of passengers at Como av-
enue bridge. No agreement was made
in writing by the park board, but there
was an understanding between the
members OF the board and the street
railway company thatif the latter would
run its line around by way of Atwater
street, making detour of two or three
blocks, the board would stand the eX-
pense. 1t was then understood that the
company might put in bill for the cost
and pay its expense of furnishing music
at the park out of the fund.
The bill of George j. Grant for re-
pairs to engine and boiler in pumping
station at Como park was up again and
sent to the engineer and attorney to
confer with Grant.
City Engineer Rundlet was instructed
to make survey around Lake Phalen
for boulevard 100 feet wide. and to as
terrain the names of owners and the
several amounts of land and holdings
around the lake.
j. X. Waten's bill for trees was not
allowed.
Bills were allowed aggregating $1,000,
among them being one Tor iron pipes
and castings for Como park, amounting
to S9S9.95.
The board Will meet next week to
allow the pay roll of laborers.
