On NYinnetonka's shores.

EOTEL ST. LOUIS, LAKE MINNETONIIA,
Mimi, July 13.-Thinking of the thousands
OF city folk who are at this
moment enjoying the heated term
at seashore, mountains lakeside,
concourse of pleasure seekers have found a
more delightful spot than Minnetonka. Sit
ting here on one Of the broad verandas of
Hotel st. Louis I see before me a scene
that beggars description.
Around the southern shore to my left Is
the Stretch of land called Cottagewood
and here are some of the most beautiful
summer homes on the lake, not to forget
mentioning Northvine, the charming spot
selected by Sir Charles Gibson of st. Louis
for his hospitable abode. 1t stands far
round to the right of Hotel st. Louis and
is built on point of land that overlooks on
the front the dancing waters of the lake,
while far to the left, right and rear lie
hundreds of acres of beautiful woods, parks
and meadows, all in the possession of Sir
Charles, who is the largest property owner
on Lake Mnnetonka.
One can scarcely know where to COM
mepce to tell of the almost innumerable
charms of this lovely place. for every spot
has its own particular attraction. Straight
before me just detect the spires of
the Lake Park hotel. which, together with
the Lafayette "a very "swagger" place., and
Hotel st. Louis makes up a trio of three
most tempting hostelries. The latter,
though mentioned last, does not stand least
in the opinion of pleasure seekers by any
means.
What do we do all day long? Well, I'll
tel, you.
In the morning an early walk is first in
order, or a row or sail on the lake. for
the lazier ones, and at IL all make a mad
rush for the mail please notice that | said

At $50 the orchestra reminds us that II
is time to dress for dinner, and each fair
damsel stands before her wardrobe and
sighs, shall II be my new one my blue one
or the one made last?" and finally takes
the white duck with the red belt and tie
and the inevitable Knox sailor, and feels
satisfied that so gowned she's right in it, "
for that costume SENS to answer for all
hours of the day-hops included.
After dinner we often take a moonlight

St Louis, June 24.-At an executive
session of the local branch of the Am
erfcan Railway union held here today,
the unpublished portion of the recent
proceedings of the union at Chicago
was detailed to the members present. 1t
consists Of the plans made to assist the
strikers at Pullman in their fight
againt the Pullman Palace Car COM
pany. The next move will be the call
ing out of the worl1men in the shops
at st. Louis, and at Ludlow, KY. At
ter all the workmen are out, the switch
men in the yards will refuse to make
up any train with Pullman cars. Trains
will be made up as usual but the
switohmen will refuse absolutely to
handle a Pullman car. This order will
be extended over practically the whole
country. Should the receivers manage
to get Pullman cars on any train, then
the crew. engineer, fireman, conductor
and brabemen will refuse to take out
any train. and should the company dis
charge any switchmen for refusing to
| andle Pullman cars every man belong
ling to the union and employed on that
road will be called out within six hours.
1t was carefully explained, however,
that this fight was not against the rail-
road companies, and the hope was ex-
pressed that it would not be necessary
to call out the employees of any road.

been too long delayed, he continues. and
while all concede the importance, If not
the necessity, for prompt action, there is
an inclination to let the matter drift, be-
cause the east and south feel that it is a
question requiring special knowledge, and
there is danger of serious mistakes. Two
more reasons he Suggests--firSt, that
representatives from the older sections
fear that a. national effort to establish a
system of irrigation will result in such
enormous expenditures as to bring forth
the dlsapnroval of their constituents; and
second, because of a fear among southern
members and those from the rest of the
missouri river of the effect upon prices of
farm product. Present low prices, most
of them, are said to be attributal to over
production, and the theory is that the de-
gelopnlent of the arid regions will result
in increased competition in an already
profitless industry.
These facts could not stop the deyeIop-

Is Urging on the SoIons-Ques-
Yet to be Disposed of.

Washington, June 24.-There is little
doubt in any quarter that the present
week Will see the end of the tariff de-
bate in the Senate.
Estimates as to the time when the final
Saturday; but the majority of the Senate
has expressed the opinion the vote will
be taken on Wednesday or Thursday.
With the thermometer ranging from So
to SO, as it did on yesterday and today,
senators find every reason for dispatch
ing the business as soon as possible. To
finish up by Thursday, however, means
very rapid work, comparatively few
speeches, and the postponement of i'm
portant items, such as reciprocity, until
the conference report shall be made.
Senator Allison expressed the opinion
that the Senate will not dispose of the
bill in committee of the whole before
Tuesday night, and that the remaining
days of the week will be necessary to
finish the work on the bill IN the Senate.
The more important questions yet to be
disposed of in committee are: The re-
mainder of the income tax; the whisky
and spirit AK; the tobacco tax; Senator
Teller's retaliation diamond amendment;
the spun silk yarn question which was
passed over when the silk schedule was
under consideration, and the reciprocity

others.
