ST. PAUL, March 2O-The Minnesota Bu-

eral public as the hard coal combine. re-
ceived black eye at every turn to-day.
There was q wild scene in the DlstrIcs
Court. at / o'clock. this afternoon.
Richard Walsh, possession of
the letter books Of John j. Rhodes, general
manager of the combine, had just been
placed on the stand when Assistant Ser
geant-at-a arms Wells. of the House of Rep
resentatives appeared and demanded the
body of Mr.. Walsh. Several deputy
sherifs and other officers Of
the court moved forward and q
conflict seemed certain when Judge Egan
dismissed Mr. Walsh from the stand and
told him he could 20 TO tho Capitol if he
desired. Sergeant alarms Wells had just
come from the Capitol With an order from
the House for Walsh. The House had been
in frenzy for an hour. and had just
begun preparing impeachment proceedings
when Mr.. Walsh appeared on the scene.
In the Senate sensational speeches were
being made. Senator Sanborn introduced
q resolution referring the con ntroversy over
the letter books to the six judges of Ram.

the ire of Senator Donnelly, who said:

Court Judge Egan made the legislators

The latest sensational turn Of the case
was taken this evening, when John j.

BLUE MONDAY FOR PATRIOTS.

The Common Horde Barred Ont of the
White House and Treasury Department..
WASHINGTON. March 20-There were
few callers at the White House to-day.
This was not due to any falling off in in
terest on the part OF office seekers but to
the fact that the President reserves Mon
days for work and the reception of such
persons as he may especially desire to CON-
suit. Under this class were included Will
liam +. Harrity, chairman of the national
Democratic committee. and Mr.. w. u.
Hensel. Attorney general of Pennsylvania.
Their visit was very brief and, according
to Mr. Harrity. very pleasant. The Penn
sylvania politicians would say nothing
concerning the object OF their call. Several
applicants for Office were at the White
House. but did not see Mr.. Cleveland.
Secretary Csrlisle has found it necessary
to deny himself to the continual stream of
callers that have filled his office ever since he
was installed in the Treasury Department.
To-day the visitors to the Secretary's office
were confronted with sign. which read:

to say. all of these men are Democrats.

HALIFAX. N. g., March 20.-The overdue
steamship Sarnia came up from quarantine
at Q O'Clock this morning and docked at the
deep water terminus. CAPTAIN Couch fur
nished the press with the following par
ticulars OF the accident TO his ship:
THE steamer left on March 8. On Satur-
day, the 11th, the ship was 476 miles from
Halifax. At $3.50 o'clock the engines were
slow ed for hot bearings At IL O'Clock the
chief engineer reported that the brasses IN
the after crank were cutting away. The
engines were at once stopped and the csp-
tain took oft the bearing: when it
was seen that the shaft had
combination of fractures and was
disconnect the engines and put tbs for
ward crank aft IN place OF the broken
shaft. At IL p. NJ. the German tank steam
er America came alongside. We signaled
that we had a broken shaft. but would be
repaired in a few days. There was a mod
crate southeast wind and the ship was
drifting to north northwest, making about
three-quarters of a mile an hour. On Sun
day. the 18th, the crew were all set to work
to assist the engineers in rigging gear for
removing the shaft. We were tnen $50
miles from Halifax. At P. VI. the engines
were all clear for lifting; at 2 p. VI. the
broken crank was lifted out and at II p.
aft into the bearings was begun. The wind
was moderate from south southeast and the
ship was riding easily with q sea anchor
ont.
ATS A. NJ. Monday the work of shifting
was finished. and the engineers began the
work of coupling the aftershaft. lt was
found impossible TO break or cut the
broken shaft. and IL was decided to drill is
through. This caused great delay. The
weather remained fine. with a southerly
wind, but on Tuesday the wind increased.
and the ship commenced drifting fast. We
were then 3D. miles from Halifax, having
drifted fifty-four miles. On Wednesday
the engineers were still at work drilling
the shaft. The weather was foggy, and at
noon o gale set in from the southwest. The
engineers were drilling at an average OF
one hole every three hours at the broken
end to fit on the eccentric straps. We were
drifting on the Newfoundland coast,
being only sixty-ive miles from st.
Pierre. Thursday the shaft was broken. the
crank was secured and the engineers began
to put the engines together. At p. NJ. on
steamer proceeded slowly. At noon on Sat
urdsy snow began falling and the wind
hauled to the southeast. becoming a gale
by night. The ship was hauled up north
by west, heading for Sable island. There
was high sea running, which dashed over
the ship fore and aft. smashing gangway
rails and doing other slight damage. AZ
midnight the gale sbated. but there was
still a heavy sea running. At6oclock yes
terday morning we saw o steamer, sup
posed to be an outward Canadian mail. At
noon the weather had moderated. and at
2:30 p. NJ. we sighted the steamer Newfeld
looking for us and told her we were pro-
ceeding for the hsrbor."

NEW YORK. March 20.-The World says:
"Tammsny tigers were In joyou mood last

ing. he bore with him q list of names OF

Croker had recommended for places under

braves expect to hear some of the plums
falling in their direction. Heretofore
Mr. Croker has refrained from asking for
office in behalf of his followers. He has
contented himself with expressing the be.
lief that the President would appoint good
men. Those who claimed to know what
