been done SO quietly that the. same
serenity prevailed rs that of an ordinary
day. A double force Of officers was on
duty. Captain Garden and Lieutenant

end, and Lieutenant Burns being in
charge at the house end. The double
force of privates gave men for all the
entrances to the Capitol, and for the
main assembling points. Two men were
in the main rotunda. Each of the main
doors and the basement entrances had
an officer. The lobbies surrounding the
senate and kouse were patrolled
by officers. The halls giving
ingress to the congressional gal
lerles were also patrolled. Each
man had his post and was expected to
remain there unless called to assemble
by whistle. Officers were courteous

Cronan has called for United States

amusement and indignation-amuse.
ment at the ludicrous aspect, indigna-
ton at the slur cast upon the state and
citizens. No necessity exists for calling
out single soldier. The strikers here
are mostly heads Of families, owners of
property and good, law abiding citizens.
Farmers here offer provisions and sup
plies for the strikers if necessary. One
farmer said he had three fat steers to
kill should supplies run short.
Press reports about trains leaving for
the coast are untrue. Not single train
has left Minot since the strike occurred.

NET BUSINESS MEN.

Debs and Howard Discuss the Situation
But Refuse to Arbitate.
MINNEAPOLIS, May AT the meeting
of the Minneapolis and St. Paul citi-
zens' committee at the Minneapolis
Commercial club no conclusion was
reached, but there was some pretty in
teresting talk. The latest proposition
is on the part of Debs and Howard, who
were at the meeting, and was to the ef-
feet that the executive committe of the
strikers would be willing to argue the
matter with President Hill at any pub
lie mass meeting in the Twin Cities and
then let the public hear for itself the
different sides of the question directly
from the lips of the men most vitality
interested. As to submitting the ques-
ton to any other form of arbitration,
the representatives of the strikers stood
firm against it.
The session was an executive one and
must either have been highly interest
ing or very important, for it lasted
nearly two hours. At the close of the
meeting, Chairman G. A. Pillsbury
stated that the committee had now u
thorough understanding of the side of
question presented by the men and that
the next move would be to sec President
Hill of the Great Northern.

to visit the California fair. It was
their intention to spend day or two at
the home of their nephew and then
start for the West. The senator, how
ever, on the day he and Mrs. Stock
bridge were preparing to leave for Cali
tornia, was suddenly attacked with
stomach trouble and later suffered with
acute pains near the heart. His condi-
ton at no time was considered serious,
but he was confined to his Ted for a day
or two, and lost SO much strength be-
cause OF his inability to retain food,
that he decided to abandon his trip to
California and return to his Michigan
home as soon as his condition
Would Permit Him to Travel.
Last evening at o'clock the senator
was left alone in his room with a nurse,
the other members of the household
being at dinner. At about 1880 the
senator arose from his chair to walk
across the room, when be was suddenly
attacked with pains in his left side. He
made no outcry, but with his hands
clasped over his heart and his face
showing that he was suffering intense
pain he hastily returned to his chair.
The nurse at once called the family
from the diningroom, and Mrs. Stot k
bridge, Mr.. and Mrs. Houteling were
quickly at his side. Within a few Sec
onds after they reached him the senator
became unconscious and sank rapidly.
Physicians were hastily summoned and
restoratives were applied, but it was OF
no avail, the senator sank rapidly and
in a very short time breathed his last.
While he has been very ill it was at no
time thought that his condition was
dangerous, and his death was entirely
unlocked for. A combination of heart
and stomach trouble was announced as
the cause of death,

One Of the heaviest hail and rain storms
that has visited this section in years

Many of the hailstones were as large as
hens eggs. At Parks, small station

storm demolished q number of resi-
dences, killing Thadeus McDougal, the
the 9-year-old son of Rev. McDougal,
and fatally wounding w. B. Booker,
aged 70. Both the Methodist and Bap-

and considerable damage done. A
heavy damage was done in the timbered
section north of here.

perhaps, TO the hour at which the train
reached here, there was no demonstra-
ton OF any sort. a guard was thrown
out. surrounding the train on its arrival.
and the only sound heard for the re-
mainder Of the night was the pacing Of
the infantrymen outside.
The entire lody went into camp at
Grand Forks, and it was announced
that this would be the base Of opera
tions for the present. The seat of
trouble in North Dakota is Devils Lake,
where Marshal Cronan has been having
q serious time. If assistance is needed
there company will lie sent at once at
the request of the marshal.
Can't Get q Crew.
The pile driver, with crew of bridge
builders and trainmen, was to leave at
3 o'clock for point 200 miles beyond
Mlnot, where tridges have been de-
stroyed. There is the greatest difficulty
in getting crew to 60, and even after
the complement had Teen filed half the
men backed out, declaring that to make
the run is as much az their lives are
worth. Major Patterson has offered to
clear the mobs away from the tracks
here, but even that does not seem to
satisfy the employees. They assert that
to run out this train will make them
marked men, even if tho tracks have
not been tempered with.
The entire double crew Of the special
fremen and brakemen-
have quit their train. The engine has
been backed down into the yards and
the fire dumped. The troops are in
pocket. The only way they can get
from this point to Devils Lake or
Minot at present is by march. 49,.

Shortly after his return from Mime
apolis, President Debs of the A. R. U.
was seen at the Sherman.
"Well, Mr.. Debs," asked the reporter.
''what did you do at Minneapolis?''
"Mr. Howard and myself had talk
with the committee of business men
there" Then, with a look that evil
denced the genuine feeling with which
he said it, he added: "Believe me, the
skyes are really looking clearer. 1
think that we are coming nearer to q
satisfactory adjustment of differences.
I told this committee, who are distin-
guished business men of sagacity and
intelligence, that Mr.. Hills PROPOSE
t1ons for arbitration seemed little in
consistent for some of the classes of
men in the service, and especially so
now that he had restored the schedules
for some some Of the men-and those,
by the way, the stronger brotherhoods.
Why does Mr.. Hill want to arbitrate
for some classes and not for others?
Why should he not restore ALL and
thus do away with the necessity of arbi-
tration? told these things to the
committee, and, as fairminded men, I
think they saw the force of the argu-
ment, although they did not say So"
