PLATT sNUBBED.
Cool Reception From Morton ON
His Visit to Albany.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Thomas G.
Platt left for Albany today. He
was in an unusual good mood when
a reporter saw him in his car.
'Who is going with you?" was
asked.
well, do not know as anybody
is," replied Mr.. Platt.
what are you going to Albany
for, Mr.. Platt?"
81 am going up to see what is to
be seen and to do whatever is to be
DONE" answered Mr.. Piatt, and the
latter part of the sentence was spo-
ken most emphatically.
What about the rumored confer
ence between your friends and Mayor
Strong?"
'I can't say yet. Really, I don't
know what was done. But you must
not ask me about Strong. 1 am not
in his confidence, you know
1t was Ais when Mr.. Platt arrived in
the city, and he was driven at once to
the executive mansion, where Gov.
Morton awaited him. At the executive
chamber it was learned that SO little
did the governor think of the import
ance of the interview that he had re-
fused to break a social engagement
this evening.
For two hours Mr.. Platt and Gov.
Morton conferred, and at the end of
that time Mr.. Platt, when seen, said:
81 came here to consult the governor
as to certain party matters over which
there have been disagreements. There
was only a general exchange of vews,
no definite plan.' Gov. Morton de-
clined to give out any information as
to the conclusions arrived at, but it is
understood that he told Mr.. Platt that
he was opposed to any action which
would create a factional fight or make
any break in the party.

Of the ladies saw the couple once
after that. The ladies are Mrs.
Julia e. Walker, of this city, and
Mrs. Abbie Lowell, of st. Paul. Mrs.
Walker said she was visiting Mrs.
Lowell in st. Paul both times she
saw Miss Cling in company with the
strange gentleman. She saw them,
by singular coincidence, on the
car going to ST. Paul at Gaultier
street, and some hours later on a car
at the same street. She also saw
Miss Cling empty the contents of her
purse in the mans hands.
Both ladies also testified to having
met Harry Hayward on Nicollet ave-
nue. on the Saturday after Thanks
giving. They were passing up street
aud dropped a sack of oranges. Hay
ward stepped forward and helped
pick them up. He was known by
sight by Mrs. Walker This is inl-
portant, as Blixt testified that Hay
ward was with Miss Cling that night
out riding.
Frank Erhardt, brother of Will
lam Erhadt, testified to the position
of Miss Ging's body on Excelsior
road. He was struck by the peculiar
position in which he found the body,
and thought it could not have fallen
from a runaway rig. He noticed in
dentations in the ground made by
the heels of the woman's shoes. This
was important, as tending to dis
credit Blixt's story of the manner in
which he removed her from the
buggy.
Two young ladies who were skat-
ing on Lake Calhoun on the night
OF the murder testified to hearing
two shots in quick succession about
7:45 o'clock. One of the young girls,
Miss Gertie Brown, while returning
home, saw two suspicious-looking
characters dressed in long coats and
caps, who acted queer" She was
much embarrassed, and could not de-
scribe their queer actions, but said

Gated that they were up to some
thing. They watched her and her
companion very closely A few min
utes later she saw a man running on

Speaking to the galleries, which were

you say this house is not subsi-
died; and you get angry when you
are charged with it. No wonder you
raise your hypocritical eyes in hor-

temperance legislation to these good
people in the gallery, and ALL the time
there is a barrel of whisky in the
basement of the state house, which
is free to all members on this floor"
Pandemonium reigned Immediately
and personal encounters were with
difficulty avoided. There were cries of

ued:
81 repeat just what I said. And no
wonder you want me to shut up.
There is a barrel of whisky down
there, and it was furnished you by the
whisky league. You are shackled by
it,"
Mr.. Jackson claimed he had been in
vited to partake of the whisky, and
when the uproar had subsided, COM
mittee of three was appointed by the
speaker to locate the barrel and re-
port.

WOMEN SUFFRAGE,
Sent to General Orders in South
Dakota House.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 19-The house
today began work with a rush, sus>
pending all rules. The most impor-
tant measure to come up during the
day was the Woman's suffrage resolu-
ton, which had been postponed until
$3.50. Mr. Gold at that time moved to
take the bill up. Glass resisted the at
tempt, stating that last week Gold
had simply moved to postpone until
today, but did not specify in his mo-
ton that the bill should be a special
order. Consequently, it was in the
department of general orders, ana
could not be reached except under sus-
pension of the rules, requiring a two
thirds vote. This was a new point
and against the precedents pursued
by the house since the opening of the
session, but Speaker Howard held that
the point was good, and as the vote
on the proposition stood SO to 81, it
was lost, and the bill goes back into
general orders, where it may not be
reached again this session. The bis
school book law, which has been
freely charged with containing a big
steal, was reported favorably by COM

WHITE EARTH, Mimi, Feb. 19-
The government school. building at
this place burned to the ground last
night. It was about $50 when the
fire started, originating in one of
the teachers rooms, and in few
minutes the central part of the
building was all ablaZe. The chill
dren had all gone to bed, but, for
tunately, few of them were asleep,
and all were saved, although many
lost most of their clothing. The
teachers were in a lower room re-
hearsing and preparing for an en-
tertainment to be given the 22d of
this month, and saved only a part
of their property. Comparatively
little was saved. The building was
a frame one, the main part having
been erected in 1878, and several
smaller additions since. 1t had al
ways been considered a fire trap,
and it is fortunate that it burned
down without loss of life. The gov
ernment will probably erect a moro
substantial structure next summer.

yesterday was one partly filled with
Russian thistles. The car came from

when it arrived here, but as a door
was partly open it is supposed that
many of the weeds were scattered
along the road, and that the car was
full when it started. Yardmaster Mil
Ter, assisted by the section men, re-
moved the thistles from the car and
burned them up-just the thing that
should have been done by our Dakota
neighbors instead of shipping them
out of the country.
