The only other matter OF interest be-
fore the board was the debate over the
East river bank boulevard. The spe-
cial committee reported in favor of
issuing $50, 900 worth of bonds to wards
paying for the Improvement, and Com.
missioner Folwell, of the comm ittee,
supported the recommendation. Prof.
Folweli said that his constituents OH the
East side wanted the driveway.
Mayor Eustis was opposed to the is
suing of any more bonds at present, and
made a calamity speech, in which he
said that it would make him blush
from head to foot to sign any such reso-
luton. Commissioner Ryan also OBJ
jected, as usual, In behalf of the tax

THE BANKS TO BLAME.
A Lively Discussion Over the
Bartlett Resolution.

"A Lively Discussion Over the
Bartlett Resolution.
The Bartlett national bank resolution
was the stated subject for discussion at
yesterdays meeting of the board OF
trade, Notwithstanding which no de-
cision was reached, and it went over
for final action at the next meeting.
At the request of the board, Mr.. Bart
lett restated the salient features of his
plan, i'll describing which he said that
while the banks of the city have a cap
italizatiOn of $3.50. 90, they have in
circulation less than $500, 900, about one
dollarin eighteen Of their capitalization.
He claimed that the banks had gone out
OF the business of supplying the people
with currency, and hence the necessity
OF action by congress.
Arguments were made by William
Hill, of Hill 81 Sons; Mr.. Nailor, of the
Union National bauk; f. z. Powell
and Maj. Bassett.
Mr.. Hill claimed that the national
banks themselves were largely to blame
for the recent financial stringency, and
that their hatred of silver was largely at
the bottom of the trouble. He declared
that The free coinage of silver would
remedy the troubles of the country very

York banks were for free trade. as they
are for The gold basis. was largely to
blame for the condition of the country.
He had been at the Pacific coast for a
long time, and the condition of that part
of the country and the Puget sound
country was deploraDle.
Mr.. Nailor thought that Mr.. Baatlett's
scheme was in the main a step in the
right direction. But his own idea was
TO have the country return to the safety
fund system, as formerly in operation
Ill New York, and substantially the sys-
TEN of Canada. under which the ma
tional comptroller would issue to banks
40 to so per cent of their
paid in capital in currency, the
banks 10 pay TO a safety fund
IL to 2 per cent of the amount for the
safety fund for the cases of losses. For
elasticity there could be a marked Is
sue" of 81 or 40 per cent, taxed sufici-
emily to make it certain tina it would
be recalled as soon as the emergency of
the issue was over.

EVOLUTION AS A PROCESS.
Entertaining Lecture on the Sub
ject by Joseph Cooke.

There was gathered a large and APP
preciative audience at the First Bap-
fist church last evening to listen to the
lecture given by Rev. Joseph Cooke, of
Boston. In the course of Introductory
remarks by DR.. Hoyt, he stated that
there would be a lecture given this
evening at the above church Oh the sub
ject of Municipal Government"
which, in view of recent events, will no
doubt be of interest.
About a quarter of a century g Jo-
seph Cooke flashed, meteor-like. above
the horizon and astonished and dazed
all Boston with his brllliancy. and ever
since has he been a thorn in the side of
the followers of Darwin. Tyndall,
Stuart Mill and Spencer. Nor has he
lost any OF his mentality or his brill
fancy, as was evinced last night in his
lecture, the subject of which was 1.-The
Christian Idea of Evolution, or God in
Natural Law"
In the course of his remarks he said
that we are not to feel that nature and
God are interchangeable terms IL
more than light and rainbow are inter.
changeable terms. 1t was no part of

In the universe only two things exist
mind and matter. Matter may trans
NIT force, but cannot originate It,. ALL
force originates in will. Evolution is
never a cause, but a process. Nothing
made by man has its motive within
itself. No effect can be greater than
its cause.
If a certain effect comes out a certain

hat more than has been put into
it. Some things God does through the
glove, natural law; some things he does
by the hand. Matter is inert, mind
originates. Causation is the will, crea-
ton the act of God.
The lecture was brilliant throughout.
and showed profound research and
knowledge of the subject.

RECEIVER TO BE ASKED FOR.
The Creditors of a. Il. Horton
Hold a Protracted Meeting.

The creditors Of A. E. Horton, the
Washington avenue furniture dealer,
held a meeting yesterday afternoon at
the office of Rea, Hubachek & Healy,
who are the attorneys for most of them.
What was decided on at the meeting
was not given out. but 1t was rumored
that some of the lrate creditors wanted
to have criminal proceedings brought
against Mr.. Horton, claiming that he
sold his goods for cash and put the
money away, deliberately intending to
defraud his creditors. Another class of
people who are angry are some who
bought and paid for goods at the sale
last week, land whichiwere not delivered
before the sheriff swooped down on the
store. The creditors filed an applica-
ton for d receiver in the district court
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Horton said
yesterday that he would make an as

whom he would name as assignee. His
attorney is eX-County Attorney Than,

The wind-up of the draws of the Twin

put up a siX-round scientific bout for
points which proved very exciting, the
contest being decided a draw.
The event of the evening consisted of
a siX-rOund set-to betweet Bobby Dobbs
and Jack Murray for points. Both men
put up a nervy contest, and showed
themselves to be adopts in the art of

AN INTERESTING CONTEST
As TO WHO WILL SUCCEED JUDGE
CAVITY
oNrHEDIsrnro T~coURrsENoEz

Several Well Known Gentlemen
Would Not Object to Wearing
His Mant1e-BeDjamin Daven-
port appears to Have the
Hearty Support of His Party
for the Place.
In a very few days now Judge CAVITY,
OF the district court bench, will vacate
MS seat to occupy a position ON the Gu
preme bench, to which he was elected
at the late election. A lively interest is
taken by the members of the legal fra
ternity of Hennepin county as to who
will succeed to his mantle, and as the
retiring Judge is a Democrat it is natu-
raj that those of this political faith
should look upon the plum
with longing, The appointment of
his successor will be made by Gov.
Gov. Nelson, and while it would be in
accordance with presidents, and a
graceful compliment for tho latter to
name a Democrat, still a majority of the
party would doubtless be opposed to ac-
cepting IL 2 Office if it is to he handi-
capped by pledges of the non. partisan
Judiciary stamp, and which would
hamper the action of the forth
coming convention. There are three
prominent candidates named for the
position, VIZ, Benjamin Davenport,
Judge Mahoney and F. c. Brooks, all OF
whom are gentlemen of culture, wide
experience and ~undouUted judicial
acumen. Relatively speaking, and if
the wishes of the profession are to be
relied upon as a guide. it is understood
that Mr.. Davenport is in the lead, and
he also has the support of the local
organizations, such as the city and
county committees. With regard to
Brooks. a well-known local politician
said last night that his friends were too
ready in pledging their support to assist
in nominating three Republican judges,
when the time comes, in the event of
his appointment now. The friends of
Judge Mahoney are lot saying much.
but they continue to saw wood.
This week another delegation of local
statesmen will call upon Gov. Nelson to
further urge the appointment of Daven-
port. The contest is a quiet one, but
none the less ardent. and the outcome
will be watched with interest.
