HIS SISTER LOST.
The Pitiable Case Of Julius Swo.
Iensky.

Iensky.
RENvILLE, Minn., Feb. 6.-Julius
Swolensky, farm laborer, relates a
strange and pitiable case. He came over
from Germany abont thirteen years ago
to carve out fortune on the great
prairies of Minnesota. He has met with
fair success. He left maiden sister in
the old country. The hope that they
could collect sufficient of this worlds
goods together to secure a little farm of
their own has buoyed them up through
all the trials they met and overcame.
Some time last summer they decided
that the time had come when they could
put their earnings together and accom-
plish the aim Of their lives. The blonde.
haired sister of forty bought ticket for
New York and arrived there safely. She
stopped at the Wahrenberger hotel and
at once wrote her brother julius, who
was then working for Mr.. Gilpatrck
in Minneapolis. to telegraph or write
her where to go to meet him. This was
rather strange thing for her to do,
as she had his address. The brother
says that he did not get her letter for
three months. since which time he has
done all III his power to find her with
cut success. She arrived in New York
on the 10th Of August last, with consd-
cradle money about her, and has disap-
peared as completely as though the
earth had opened and swallowed her.
The brother is SO craZed with grief that
he borders on insanity.

BOSS PLATT TALKS.
He Favors the Reorganization OF
His Party in New York CITY.

AAO osorS Tic A1eOr&anIZaClOn OF
His Party in New York City.
New YORK, Feb. Gin an interview
today, ex-senator Thomas G.. Piatt ex-
pressed his views as to how the re.
organization of the Republican party in
this city would best be effected. I'm
the first place." said Senator Piatt,
II am warmly in favor of a new
organization in New York city. It
is not necessary to believe that the
old organization was entirely bad to
find reason why new one should be
called into existence. 1t is enough
that public opinion requires a new one.
The belief is so general that the old
machine cannot be depended upon to
do good and efficient work, to get out
the Republican vote, to make full use
OF our singular opportunity the coming
fall. as to leave no chance of denial
anywhere that a new organization is
imperatively required.
"The county committee has recog-
nized this fact by gracefully furnish
ing its political coffin. and cheerfulIy
going off to the funeral prepared for it
by the thirty undertakers.
Two parties have sprung I'D to un-
dertake the work of organization. One
of themzis led by Col. George. Biiss.who
Is the real author of the plan recon-
mellded by the committee of thirty.
The other is by John E. Mililolland.
1T is not new scheme of organiZa-
ton the Republican party wants, but
new people In the organization.
1T wants new blood, fresh supply
OF earnest, resolute, active, ambitious
young men. Men who are not dismayed
by heavy tasks who will bring new
forces into campaigns, who Will invent
new methods of reaching the voters,
who. with the ardent spirit of youth,
will go out among the people and
work for victory, as did LemueI
T.. Qulgg, recently in the Fourteenth
congressional district, regardless OF the
obstacles in their path. do not think
that Col. Bliss nlan is calculated TO re-
suit in thissinfusion of new life into the
party, nor do l think that he and the
friends he has around him are Just the
Kind OF leaders likely to attract gallant
and ambitious young men into the
active work of the party.
$50 far as / am concerned, | have not
taken any part in this agitation, have
not been behind Mr.. Milholland nor in
ITOnI OF COl. bliss. nave neither aided
the one movement nor opposed the
other. Mr.. Milholland had succeeded
OF his own resources and in his own
way, but the fact that interests me, ana
that now causes me to say what | have
said, is that Mr.. MilhoIland
has an organization of at least
$4,000 Republicans. Nobody can
frown it down or refuse to see it. 1t is
not personal organization except in
the sense that he has fad the pluck and
ability to cause this great enrollment
10 my mind that fact entities him tn
credit, not to censure, and it does seem
to me that the influence of every Re-
publican who wants to see the party
strong and effective for Dext falI's cam.
paign should be exerted to prevent
existence of faction, and to utilize to the
full movement so promising and Sc
far-reaching in its source of strength"

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6-The other day
the house committee on pensions was in
session, and Maj. Baldwin called atten-
tion to a bill for special pension which
had passed the senate last session on
the recommendation of Senator Davis.
The bill was the one proposing to grant
a pension to Anson Northup. of Min
nesota, and was strongly advocated by
Maj. Baldwin.
Maj. Picker laughed. "My friend
from Minnesota is pension reformer,
but he can recommend the passage of a
special act In tavor Of one OF his own
constituents, OBSERVE
II can support the passage OF any Just
measure for the relief of brave man
who has actually rendered service to
his country in time of distress, and this
is the truth in the case of Anson North
up, of Minnesota" answered Mai.
Baldwin.
1t was no use. The committee was
fearful of establishing precedent MIR.
NOrthup was doubtless very worthy,
but he had not enlisted regularly iu the
military service of the government.
There were thousands just like him
waiting for the door to he opened so that
they might have the opportunity to get
at The treasury, and it could not be
thought of for moment.

formed him of the impending danger,
Which resulted in mastering into serv-

RoCKEFELLER ELECTIONS.
New Officers Chosen for the Mines
on the Mesaba.

DULUTH, MIMI, Feb. 6.-The Mesaba
& Northern railroad and four of the
large Mesaba mines connected with it,
over all of which John d. Rockefeller
has just secured control, held elections
today. which lasted eight hours. Rookie
feller, in his usual way of preventing
opposition from the minority, caused
his directors to elect Merritt men TO
several of the executive officers. Alfred
Merritt refused to succeed himself as
director and president of the road, and
the position will be left open for some
time. A, d. AIlibone and Capt.
Alex McDougall. Rockefeller men,
were made vice presidents, while
S. r. Payne, J. B. Cotton and d. NJ.
Philbin were reelected secretary, at
tOruey and general manager. These,
with n. B. Merritt, A. d. Thomson, W.
j. OlcOtt and Hulett G. Merritt are the
directors. The mines controlled by the
Lake Superior Consolidated company
will all have common set of officials.
w. j. Olcott, for years manager of the
Penokee and Gogebic syndicate
mines. has been made president, E. H.
Hall secretary, n. B. Merritt treasurer
and j. Is. Cotton attorney.
The Mountain Iron directors are:

Members of the Merritt interests ac-
knowledge that Rockefeller has con-
troll, but say they can regain 1t if they
can repay him loan of $3.50, 900 in one
year. Had the Merritts continued to
use the ole dock at Superior instead of
being ambitious to own one in Duluth,
they would still be in control. Rocke-
feiler simply bided his time. kept loan
ing them when they could borrow no.
where else. and finally brought them to
terms. There is little chance that the
Merritt can ever raise the amount neces-
sary to redeem the collateral, as capital
is afraid to come in contact with Rookie
feller'S millions.
