ALBERT LEA, Mimi, Feb. 1S.-The
war over the erection Of the Gulbrand-
son Brothers frame warehouse within
the city fire limits is still on. The three
members of the firm and four worllmen
have been arrested, and last night the
council condemned the building and
ordered it torn down if not removed
within twenty-four hours. The work
on it has continued today, and unless
the trouble is compromised the chief
of the fire department, with his
complete force, assisted by the
police, will raze the building at
9 O'Clock tonight. Feeling has been
greatly wrought up, and resulted in
Acting Mayor Wilkinson giving the lie
to Aid. Ransom, vino quickly resented
it by staggering blow in the acting
mayors mouth, spattering the council
chamber with pools Of blood. They
fiercely clinched, but were separated.
The aldermen all opposed the dilatoTy
course of Wilkinson, who claimed it
was necessary. The sentiment is prac-
tically united in opposition to the viola
tion of the fire limit ordinance. Mayor
Kellar has returned, and declares the
building shall be removed.
The Building Razed.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the city hall
bell assembled the fire and hook and
ladder companies, and, under action of
the council in condemning the building,
Chief Mitchell led his forces forth, and,
armed with lanterns, ladders and tools,
they rapidly, yet with much care to save
lumber, are demolshing the building.
Hundreds crowd the streets viewing the
strange scene, but there is no disorder,
Mayor Kellar having formed a Gordon
of police about the premises. No event
has created more interest in the city.
General sentiment supports the action
OF the authorities.

Sherman's Proposition Passed by

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-By the expe-
ditious method Of Vice President Nor
ton the senate almost escaped the long
debate on the 8 per cent bond issue
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation dill, which subsequently, lasted
for five or six hours. AS soon as the bill
was taken up, Mr.. Morton put the ques-
ton on Mr.. Mills amendment (tO make
bonds redeemable at the pleasure of
the United States) and declared 1t lost,
and then, with equal celebrity, he put the
question on the Sherman amendment
and declared it carried. Mr.. Stewart
soon realized the situation, and, at his
suggestion, the whole question was re-
opened. Some hours later, when the
vote was about to be taken again, an adj
ditional subject of controversy was sup
piled in an amendment offered by Mr..
Brice; and the debate upon it went on
almost up to the point of adjournment,
when MI. Brice withdrew it. The Sher-
man amendment was then agreed to-
yeas, so; nays. 16. The bill went over
without final action.
Senator Stewart today submitted an
exhaustive report from the senate COM
mittee on mines and mining relative to
the cost of production of gold and sill
YER. The conclusions drawn are that
the cost Of production of silver and gold
is about equal to the established ratio of
25 $40 grains of gold to 41219 grains of
silver. and that in both cases the cost of
production, taking account of all legiti
mate investments, is much greater than
the coinage value.

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 13.-The three
cornered fight among the house, senate
and governor is growing more bitter be-
tween the leaders, but is apparently
weakening as to the house combination.
Since yesterday there has been much
talk Of 6epoSing the speaker because Of
alleged arbitrary ruling and interfer-
ence with legislation, but it is probable
that radical measures will not be taken
unless it seems to be absolutely neces-
sary in order to facilitate business. The
situation is grave and legislation en-
dangered. A bill compelling rail
road companies to furnish cars promptly
or pay heavy penalty was defeat
ed in the house, also bill providing for
state inspector of steam boilers. A bill
was agreed to Ill the house requiring all
land foreclosures to be made in court.

WASHINGTON, Feb. b.1S.-Senator Hans
brough and Congressman Johnson have
locked horns again over the opening Of
the western part of the Turtle mountain
Indian reservation in North Dakota.
For several years there has been move
ment on foot to secure the opening of
this reservation, and nearly every North
Dakotan favors it. But in DEVILS Lake
there is some opposition from men who
are friends Of Senator Hansbrough.
Not caring to offend the majority, Hans
brough publicly proclaimed himself ia
vorable to the opening. Congressman
johnson worked away to push the
scheme through, but found himself
checkmated by some mysterious in
fiuence, the bottom of which he could
not place. But yesterday the whole
trouble came out. Secretary Noble be-
came tired of the kicking of Johnson
and others, and told them just why the
reservation had not been opened. HIS
interview places the responsibility
squarelY on Hansbrough.
"rhe delay in the matter Of opening
the western part of the Turtle Mountain
Indian reservation" said Gen. Noble to
the GLOBE representative, "is due to
the opposition of Senator Hansbrough.
Had he favored the project the lands
would have been thrown open som
time ago."
Senator Hansbrough denied that he
has been opposing the opening of the
reservation, claiming that Secretary
Noble has not stated his position cor
rectly. He said he had always favored
the opening of the new district, but
wanted it done in proper manner.

Office of secretary Of agriculture in Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet, in an interview to-

II am opposed to the Hatch anti

farmers need change i'll some OF their

benefited by a certain kind of educa-
ton. 1t is generally said and believed
that the farmers are the instigators and
supporters of the Hatch anti-optiOQ
bill. In my opinion they should be its
most vigorous opponents. The produce
exchanges and boards of trades,
which this bill is intended to de-
stroy, are OF the greatest adj
vantage to the producers of grain.

brought in verdict.of not guilty. He
was accused of being an active partlc-

him his life. The Homesteaders pres
ent were all greatly pleased with the
verdict and the attorneys for the COM

for they had expected a manslaughter
conviction. Hugh O'Donnell was taken
back to Jail, and an application
for bail will be made on charges Of
riot and treason still pending
against O'Donnell. This ends the
Homestead trials until the March term
of court. It is possible that all the other
cases may go over until the June term
Of court, and the Homestead men now
in jail will be admitted to bail. The
arguments for new trials in the Demp-

Distrust Created by an Attempt to
Procure Loan.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IS. - Thomas
Dolan, director of the Reading rail
way. is reported to have parted with all
of his Reading stock. He is said to have
given the order to sell after an interview
this morning with President Mcleod.
A prominent financier who conferred
with President Mcleod today said:
"Reading is perfectly sound. If had
S.. .0OO 900 | would pot hesitate in loan
ing it to the company. This break was
caused by sudden and imperative de-
mand upon the part of a heavy creditor
for 100000. The company did not have
that amount Oh hand, and It's efforts to
secure it created distrust. This led
some large holders to unload their
shares. The market, naturally soft on
account of the unsettled monetary stu
attain, was made to absorb the heavy
load. A bad break occurred. This
started the public. 1t was like a run
on bank. Readings stability is now
undergoing cruel test. But it will
come out all right"
The rumor that Reading had failed to
secure the New York IL New England
road was believed by many to have SUBJ
stantial basis, and this impression ex-
tended, as New England also weakened.
Nevertheless, it is asserted that PreSi-
dent Mcleod and his associates have
secured enough New England stock to
carry the election March IA.

The state legislature is also at an end
They both passed away together this

Joint ballot of the legislature ran into
the thousands, and all displayed nerv-
business, as it was known that if SEN
Gtor was to be chosen for the term Of six
years he would have to be chosen at
that ballot. Republicans. PopulistS and
Democrats all held separate and con-
certed caucuSes for the most part of last
night and nearly all this morning,
but about the only agreement that
was reached was to adjourn
sine die. AS soon as the chief
clerks Of their respective houses
had called the rolls, Snyder, a Populist
member from Johnson county, moved
the joint session adjourn sine die. Chat
terton. a Republican, seconded the
motion, ana it carried, Republicans,
Populists and full a dozen Democrats
voting in favor of the motion. This
morning it was discovered that Russell,
the Mormon Republican senator OF
Uintah county, had joined the New
forces. Senator Mccormick last night
walked out of the Republican caucus
saying that he was no longer member
of that party, but had joined the Popu-
lists. The Republicans, finding out
how matters stood, made deal with a
Popuhst, and when the joint ses-
sion assembled, adjourned sine die
without taking ballot. This leaves
the selection Of a senator to the govern

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-If there was
at any time any disposition on the part
Of the Democrats to oppose the con-
tirmation of Judge Jackson to be an as
Sociate justice OF the supreme court Of
the United Seates, that opposition van
ished when the senate went into execu-

not even the formality of vote. The
executive journal was read, containing
the nomination Of judge Jackson, which
had previously been reported, and when
the president Of the senate said: IF
there are no objections the nomination
will stand confirmed" not a senator
opened his mouth. In this quiet way all
the opposition disappeared, and Asso-
ciate Justice Jackson will, as soon as
convenient to him, qualify for the place
to which he has been appointed by a
Republican president. The injunction
of secrecy was removed from the pro-
ceedings.
