SKATING RACES TODAY.
Contests of the Athletic Club at
Edgerton Rink.

The Minnesota Athletic club has ar
ranged a programme of skating contests
to occur this afternoon at the Edgerton
rink, and from all indications, if ia
vOred by pleasant weather, the sport
promises to be equal to any of the en-
tire season. AS Adolph Norseng eX-
poets to meet John S. Johnson within a
week or so he has refused to meet
Smith until after he skates with John
SON, and so Smith and Norseng Will not
skate today, as previously intended. A
race has been arranged between Pan
nell and Smith, however, at ten
miles, which will take the place
of the contest with Norseng, and
from all indications the event will prove
fully as exciting, as PannelI has made a
phenomenal showing i'll the past week
or so, and is expected TO give Smith a
hot chase. If the ice is in good con-
ditiOn efforts will be made by both
Smith and Pannell to lower the ten
mile record of 1926 established by
Smith on Jan. %. 1t is confidently eX-
pected, in any event, that the American
competition record of 35:54 will be
broken by a large margin. This is the
only ten-mile race of the season that has
been arranged in the Northwest. and
TIC COltcSt VIII Ue Ole VIGIL worm see
ing. This will probably be Smiths last
race of the season, and 1t is very likely
that he will not participate in any more
racing IN the future.
There Will be a mile race between
William Martin and Louis johnson, the
men starting from opposite sides. and it
is expected that this will be one of the
hardest fought and most closely con-
tested events of the season. These
skaters are evenly matched, and have
records close To the three-minute mark.
Arthur HAIRY and Oluf johnson and
Gus Madison and Joe Cox, some of the
rising amateurs, will skate mile races
that will be for blood" Adolph Nor
seng will give an exhibition of his
speed, and H. j. Overdue will show
what can be done in fancy figure skat-
ing.
If the ice is In good shape there will
also be time trials at II mile by Pam
nell, Martin. Smith and johnson.
A mere varied or better programme
has seldom if ever beer prepared for
n afternoons sport in this city, and
if the club is favored by pleasant
weather promises that it will furnish
some Of the best skating ever seen in
st. Paul. The Edgerton rink is located
at York and EdgertOn streets, and is
reached by the Lafayette avenue car
line. The racing will commence at 2:9O
d. IN.

BY order of the commander-in-chief.
HERMANN MUELBERG,
Adjutant General.
The sparriug match at the armory a
few nights ago is still the talk in ma
tionai guard circles, as we'll as else
where. The general sentiment among
the national guards, and especially The
officers. is that it was an ill-advised and
unfortunate affair. The governor is
generally commended by the officers of
the guard for taking on himself to issue
an order under section 5 of the national
guard laws, which provides that he may
issue such orders as he deems advisable
for the regulation of his troops. 1t was
from HIM that the order emanated pro-
hibltlng any athletic contests. Of the
same kind in the future. Hereafter any
company desiring 10 give even a public
dance will be required to secure per-
mission from the regimental command
er. 1t seems that the end is not yet
relative to the sparring exhibitions. and
1t is said by prominent officers in the
national guards that a court-marlial Is
in store for some of the men in CON-
pany c.. 1t is also said that MOrcraft.
who was so badly battered up, is very
i'll at Fort Smelling, and that lie bleeaS
from the ears. Two of the cuts on his
Iofeheaa ana race required stitching TO
close up the gaps.
However, the talk about holding a
court martial to investigate the actions
of those who participated in the Com
pany G boxing tournament at the ar
mory will probably not amount to any
thing. The only persons who coIld be
leached by such inquiry would be those
who were instrumental i'll the manage
ment of the so-called tournament. None
OF the ten men who participated in the
five bouts were members of the national
guard of the state, nor had they at any
time been members. 1t is now stated
by members OF Company e that Mayor
Wright gave permission for the tourna-
mentt to be held on Jan. Is. The affair
vas postponed at that time, and those
interested in the exhibition took 1t tor
granted that the permission given in
January would be all right in February.

REPLIES.

Milwaukee Agents in Minnesota
and the Dakotas.
On Feb. 9, Assistant General Passen-
ger Agent Conley. of the Milwaukee,
sent out IT'S letters of inquiry to as many
station agents on the line OF that road in
Southe astern Minnesota and North and
South Dakota. He requested them to
give him information as to business
prospects in their respective localities.
He has received replies from all these
letters and the general trend of them all
is to the effect that depression has
reached its lowest notch, and will, ac-
cording to Authorizations, now disappear.
This means that a wave of prosperity is
surely coming, and that business cOndi-
tons from now On will be in the ascend
ing scale.

MANKATo. MIMI, Feb. 20, 1894.
Editor of Globe:
saw in your Sundays issue an ar
ticle entitled '.Torrey's Amusing
Stand" purporting to have been sent
from this city. And you, thinking it
such a choice article, rspublisned it in
your Mondays issue. You must have
great confidence in your correspondent
in this city to publish, and r~epublish,
such a statement as is therein made.
The party responsible for said state
ment promised me yesterday that he
would ~retract, in your issue of today.
In looking over your paper of today 1
see no such retraction, and %conseQently
write you myself.
The article above referred to is false
in every particular, every word of which
is a libel, and was sent you solely for
the purpose of placing me in a false at
titude before the people of this state for
political purposes only.
Mrs. Boehnhardt, the insane person
referred to therein, was brought home
by her husband from the hospital at nv
request Friday night.
Saturday, ABOUT IL o'clock, one of the
| police officers Of the city brought her
i'll my court; l was engaged at the time
in the trial of cases set for that day and
could not attend to her case at that
time, and put her in charge of the
sheriff Of this county until Monday
morning, when she was brought before
me and rec0mmitted under the law. as
directed by the decision of the supreme
court. h woman is the only person
who has been brought before me. he
other patients having all been taken
charge of by their friends for the pres
emit, which l advised them to do; and If
at any time they became unmanageable
to bring them before me and | would
recommit them. Compare this state
ment with the false article in question,
Whilst l do not concur in the opinion
of the supreme court. [ never had a
thought of disobeylng its mandate. and
most certainly never uttered the words
used in the libelous article herein re-
ferred to.
For the animus of said article I refer
you to the editorial In the Monday even
ing's Daily Review, of this city. and If
you care to know my opinion on this,
what L consider a very important ques
ton, you will find it In the same Issue.

see by its date, the anne day the vile
libel you published is dated.

They Will Fly.

WaDasha Herald,
st. Paul is approaching a city cleo
ton, and everybody is aware of it. 1t
fills all the city papers. and occasionally
the country press takes a hand. But
all this fuss is merely a preparation for
the great struggle, the throwing out, as
it were, of a skirmish line before the
battle. 1t is as yet mere talk about the
fitness of the candidates. When the
nominations are finally made. if interest
is kept up proportionately, the footpads
who fiourished, sandbagged and grew
wealthy under the reign of Wright 1.
will fly from the strife and commotion,
as did all who could from Pompeii
when that burg was buried alive.
