A SHOT AT COUNCIL.
The Real Estate Exchange Re-
grets Its Action on the Lowry
Ordinance.
Committee Named to Consider the
Feasibility of Manufacture
ing Exhibit.

AT an interesting meeting OF the real
exchange yesterday the following reso-
luton, offered by e. A. Wallingford, was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Real Estate Exchange
of st. Paul very much regrets that the city
council refused to adopt what was known
as the ''compromise' with the Twin City
Railway Company and we earnestly hope
they will reconsider their action and come TO
some agreement substantially embracing the
features of said compromise"
Resolved. That we regard il as very I'M
portant matter that a continuous electric
line from Fort Smelling to Woods Harves
ter works at a single fare and line to Como
park be built this season, and to the accom-
plishmenJ of these great Objects smaller
considerations should yield.
A committee OF five was appointed by
the chair to consider the feasibility Of
arranging manufacturing exhibition
for the city and its suburbs. A PROPOSE
ton to publish a weekly bulletin was
also referred to committee. Resolutions
thanking ID. l.. b. Johnson for his
clear and strong article presenting the
business situation and outlook Of st.
Paul were adopted unanimously.
Secretary Wall has hung on the walls
of the exchange three large oil paint
ings, one of Fort Smelling, by Alex
Fournier; The Old Homestead, by the
same artist, and scene at Burlington
heights, by j. ID. Larpenteur.

about those of his wife, when the ILL
nOis club.of Bloomington, which formed
the escorting party OF the vice presl-
dent to the capital, marched past the
reviewing tand. Possibly this might
be aScribed to the fact that their only
son, Louis g., held the position OF
honor on the right of the column as
mark of recognition to the First Voters
association. He is president of this
organization and cast his first vote in
November for what proved TO be a
victorious ticket. A mounted battalion
OF exceedingly good-looking young
women led the Cleveland and Steven
son club OF Montgomery county. Mary
land. They were sisters and daughters
of the members, and their dark riding
habits and lOw-crOwned riding hats
presented decidedly good appearance.
The spectators were not slow 10 appre-
ciate,an the bellesfrom"My Maryland"
were cheered until their faces were of a
carmine tint. The organization of
which they formed the escort had SIC
men in line, precisely the majority
given by the county to the national
ticket.
There was but one civil delegation in
line that could claim the distinction of
having marched in an Inauguration
parade to the glory of a Republican
president and under Republican ban
ner. This was the John G. O'Brien
association, of New York. There were
twenty ranks of ten men to q rank.
-Four years ago they marched as Repub-
licans in the parade that attended the
inauguration of President Harrison. In
the campaign of which today's event
was the elimination the organization
"FlOpped'' Individually
and as whole, and today they cheered
as Justify for Cleveland and Stevenson
as they did in 'S9 for Harrison and Nor
ton. The eX-preSident's city was repre-
scented by the Cleveland Club of In
dianapoliS, the first organized Demo
cratic contingent from the capital of the
HOosier state to attend the inauguration
OF president.
President Cleveland has a double.
The double was chief marshal today Of
the Bayard legion, the crack Democratic
organization OF the home of the eX-Sec-
rotary of state. His name is John f. Do
Ian, and great many people who saw
him go by imagined for the moment
that the new president had left his
place at the head OF the parade to do
honor to the representation from the
domain of his former councillor. The
Vanderbilt Benevolent association, of
CharleSton,S. Ca Democratic organiZa-
ton named after the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt, and of which President
Cleveland is an honorary member,
turned out in force in the fourth division
of the civic parade. Each member wore
fac-simile of the artistic medal which
was presented by the organization to
Baby Ruth. Mr.. Cleveand's competitor
for the nomination at Chicago last June
had his personality impressed upon the
multitude through the medium of the
David Hill guards, of Richfield Springs.
Hon. John NJ. Birch. minister to Japan
under the former Cleveland admlnistra-
ton, led the 250 members of the Y Dung
Mems club, of Wheeling. w. Va.

NEW SILKS.

ust as attractive as the
flower show is the display
of New Silks. Beautiful
assortments of entirely new
Silks will make their first
appearance tom orr o w.
Among them are many
styles which, with possibly
one exception, cannot be
found in any other store in
this country. Of some lines
all that came to the United
States came to our store.
These exclusive styles come
in such limited quantities
that there's no danger of
their becoming common.
And the further beauty is
that the prices are modest
and moderate in the ex-
IRENE. Well take good
care that our prices are
always the lowest. At the
same time the standard of
quality will be kept up at
the highest notch. These
are good things to remem-
Der when looking for Silks,
or thing else in the line
of Dry Goods.
The SWEETEST Silks for
Gowns or Waists are col
ored Louisines with stripes
of contrasting color.
Novelty Silks with little
figures, for dresses, waists
or trimmings.
There are many grades of
Japanese Silks. "Habutai"
is the best quality, then
comes Kai HI.
In Wash Silks we carry
only "Habutais" the best
grade. The styles this
season, both in white and
colored grounds, are beau
tiful.

LEFT THE STAND,
But Before He Went Thousands
Shook His Hand.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-There was
ii prolonged break in the procession at
6:25, just after the Camden, n. j., con-
tingent had gone by to the strains Of
-Four Years More of Grover" The
multitude around the presidential
stand imagined that the parade was
over, and it pressed forward with an
impetuosity that threatened to carry it
from its foundations. At the same time
the occupants in the rear of the stand
made a move to the front, and in the
twinkling OF an eye the pres
ident was the central figure
of veritable mob. Hands were
outstretched to the right and
left, before and behind, and almost be-
fore he knew what he was doing the
president was using both hands in the
extended to him. The crowd bore on
the platform with such force that some
of the members of the reception COM
mittee became alarmed and shouted:
"Danger-keep back" Finally lane
was with some difficulty made,
and Mr.. Cleveland, with the vice
president-elect following in his
rear, was escorted to tile back
of the platform and thence
through the grounds to the executive
mansion. The departure of the review
ing party proved. however. to be pre-
mature, tor no sooner had the stand
been cleared than more music was heard
in the distance. and presently the Ran
dali club, of Philadelphia, came march
ing along. Following these came sew
eral other contIngentS. IL was exactly

Soldiers Disturb the
Procession.

Procession.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The last Or
ganization In the first grand division of
the parade passed the reviewing stand
at quarter past o'clock, exactly two
hours Npm the time the head of the di-
vision went by. Just at this time large
number of the Pennsylvania milltiamen,
who had Withdrawn from the parade
and been allowed to break ranks, came
down, and pushing through the lines of
policemen, gathered near President
Cleveland and crowded the street in
such manner as to prevent the free
passage of the leading organizations OF
the second grand division. The police
attempted to clear the street, and for a
while there was great disorder. Col.
William Dickson, chief marshal of the
division, and the members of his staff,
were disUrganiZed by the mob. and for
would trample down some OF the too
curious soldlery. Fortunately, how
ever, the police succeeded in clearing
the line OF march, ard i'll so doing ar
rested soldier for disorderly conduct.
The police started with their prisoner
OIL run for neighboring patrol
wagon. When the comrades of the ar
rested man saw him in the custody of
the officers they made rush as If to at
tempt rescue. 1t looked for few
minutes as though formidable riot
was imminent, but the determined ac-
ton of number of policemen i'll keep
ing back the crowd and the intervening
lines of organization that were passing
prevented any serious consequences,
and the prisoner was taken to the sta
ton.

About the City Coal.

To the Editor Of the Globe
| notice in the proceedings of the joint
court house ana city hall committee that
the city weigher came in for a rub by
Assemblyman NJ. j. DAILY. In answer
to which l will state that | have attend
ed to the weighing and inspection of
the city coal as cOnscientioasly as posi-
bic under the circumstances. The vari
Gus contracts for coal for the different
city departments are let to different
companies, and deliveries are made
from their yards, from st. Anthony and
Merriam Parks to Post Siding, ETC., and
myself or deputy Is present at such
yards where deliveries are made, and L
keep complete record of every load so
delivered. l will vouch that every
pound of coal charged against the court
house or any other public building has
been delivered there, as hold the sig
nature to it from every janitOr or engi-
neer i'll attendance. But il the COM
mittee is bent upon doing its own
weighing, | would respectfully draw its
attention to the fact that there are set
of good scales at the city market house
belonging to the city, which are of no
earthly use TO any one on account OF
their bad situation. These scales would
answer all the purpose of weighing the
coal for the court house if removed
where they are wanted, and thereby
save the taxpayers the cost of S40O to
$500 for the new ones contemplated.
