Currence. Each ono denied all knowl-
edge OF the gun being disabled, and the
piece now stands in position, apparent
ly u dangerous implement OF war, but
in reality useless piece.
Sheriff Wilke9on Is swearing in a
posse of 1000 men, ostensibly to pre-
servo the peace. He declines to state
his ultimate object, but it is generally
believed that the posse is to support
the Republican position under guise OF
preserving the peace. A conflict may
take place when the posse is put to
work.
HOW THEY PASSED THE NIGHT.
It was cold, dreary night for the
Republicans beseiged in the representa-
tive hall. The hard hearted lanitor OF
the capitol building refused to turn on
the heat which he had turned of yes
terday in the effort to literally freeze
the Republicans out The hall was
miserably cold and tho Republicans
were, forced to engage in walking
matches and other antics about the hall
TO keep up q free circulation of blood,
Sleep was out Of the question. The
members, however, had the comfort OF
food, which the military guards in tho
ground below kindly allowed to be
hoisted through the windows. At 4
o'clock this morning SIX gasoline stoves
were hoisted through the windows and
the members gathered about them IN
squads to absorb what heat they afford

OF the members, and that amuse ment
served to pass the dreary hours.
PopuLsrs GIVE 1T UP,
NooN.-The Populsts have practically
abandoned the field. The crisis raised
by Sheriff Wilkerson's action was SO
critical a one. and ono so filed with en-
barrassing difficulties, that they de-
cided not to meet it, At noon the gov
ernor held conference with the Popu-
lists house members and various leaders
oI the party The governor said that
the militia could not be depended upon
to carry out his orders; that tho resist
ance OF 125 mon composing the force OF
deputy sergeants and a hundred pro-
visional troops (all that could be do.
pended upon to stand loyal) would bo
useless before the sheriff S posse OF 1000
men. 1t was decided to hire hall down
town for tho Populist house, and there
tho meetings OF the Populist house will
be held until the difficulties are settled.
This action is looked upon by some rs
q "blufT," but it is generally regarded
as the logical outcome OF the sheritf's
action in summoning his posse to sup
port the Republican position.

ST. LOUIS, June 20.-Although there

ON THE MESABA.
The Work of Relief Going ON
Satisfactorily.

satisfactorily.
DULUTH, Minn., June 20.-Reports
from the Mesaba range today are that
the work of relief is being prosecuted
satisfactorily. The relief committee in
Duluth is well organized. and an
abundance of money and food is being
offered. The reports from Mountain
Iron are not encouraging. Nearly the
whole population is still engaged IN
fighting the fire, and the danger is not
yetOyer. Yesterday number of Poles
and Hungarians refused to assist in the
work. The marshal or the town COM
PEELED them to join the others at the
point OF revolver, and by the use OF
the same argument kept them at work.
Late reports show that the first story
OF the destruction by forest fires on the
Mesaba range was exaggerated, In that
a tew more buildings are standing in
the several unfortunate towns than at
first claimed. But the property loss
will probably figure up a greater total
than any OF the estimates now made.
At Virginia there are so houses stand
ing, instead of 10; Merritt has l6 build
ings remaining, and at BiwaDik only
few buildings were destroyed.
AS stated i'll these dispatches yester-
day, Mountain Iron lost six buildings.
AT Virginia there is the gre61est suffer-
ing. and the most urgent need of help;
and on the whole range about $500 peo-
pie are for the time dependent upon
charity as result of the fire.
The total loss is placed at $1,000, 900.
and the insurance at 100000.
1t is not thought tnat any lives are
lost on the range, but it will be several
days before any positive statement on
this point can be made.
This evening at $3.50 it began raining
in this city, and the storm probably ex-
tends to the Mesaba range, where
moistureis sorely needed to put out the
forest tlfes. Later reports from the
Mesaba indicate that the worst is over.
though lawlessness prevails to great
extent. About dozen deputy sheritfS
were sent up this morning to preserve
order and protect the people from
thieves and robbers. Another relief
train will go up in the morning. About
$1,000 has already been subscribed.

A QUEER DREAM
Results in the Finding OF a Body
at Winona.


Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Minn., June 20.-The body
of the riverman Leonard, who suicided
by jumping from tine steamer Daisy on
Sunday, was today recovered short
distance below the city, as the result of
a peculiar dream. Nelson Breed, who
lives near the trestle, dreamed last
night that he stood on the river bank
watching a steamer come down stream.
When just opposite him he saw the
wheel wash up an object, which he
could plainly see was the body OF q
man. The dream so greatly impressed
Mr.. Breed that at daybreak this morn
ing he took his skiif and rowed up to
the .trestle, where he sighted a steamer
coming down in exactly the same man
ner as in his dream, and when it ap-
preached he saw 1t was the same boat,
the Remora. AS it rounded the trestle
Breed rowed out and followed close to
the wheel, impelled by strange Curl
osity. He had not proceeded ten rods
when the wheel washed a dark and
heavy object UP against his skiff. lie
grasped it and towed 1t ashore, where
he recognized it as the missing man
Leonard, and notified the authorities.
The remains will be taken to Saltwater
for burial.
