DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
The Legislative Party Numbers
Fifty-Three, and Spends a
Pleasant Half Day at
the Normal.
Speeches of Ex-Governor Yale, Speak
err VanSant, Judge Buck,
and Others.
All Favor the Small Appropriation
Asked by the School.

Tuesday a gala day at the Normal
school, which has seldom had so many
visitors before in any one day. The
legislative party arrived on the Sis
Omaha train last evening, on special
car, and numbered tifty-three, includ-
ing ladies, reporters and pages. A
committee of our citizens met the
visitors at the depot and escorted
them to The Saulpaugh in public and
private conveyances. There an ample
supper was awaiting them, to which
it may well be imagined that they did
ample justice.
The party was larger than had been
expected, and yet the senate COM
mittee on Normal schools was repre-
sented by but two members, and this
committee will visit the school in the
near future without doubt. -Four
members of the house appropriations
committee, were among the visitors,
and many others who desired to visit
the school on account of it's excellent
reputation throughout the state.
The presence of the ladies was a
very pleasing feature of the visit, and
the newspaper representatives and
pages were also welcome guests. The
trip seemed to be greatly enjoyed by

he had learned that the normal
schools are state institutions and not
merely local. He promised that all
that is asked will be given.
All who reside outside of the CITY
were asked to rise, and nearly all the
students stood up. In response to
the question how many come from
FARMS three-fourths arose. A half
dozen or more from Ramsey and Hen
nepin counties arose in response to
another question.
Representative Woodbridge stated
that two years ago he was prejudiced
against the normal schools, but said
he was greatly gratifed at what he
had seen here.
Mayor Weaver was called upon and
said that he had not come expecting
to say anything. All had looked for
ward to this visit from the members
of the legislature. What we expected
has happened. and nearly all of the
members have pledged to vote for the
small appropriation which has been
asked for. Now all must realize that
the students represent all parts of the
state.
l.. T. Hunt responded to a call for
remarks and insisted that Mankato is
metropolis although we live in the
midst OF the country press. AS Cit
izen he was proud to say that he was
proud of the normal school, and hoped
that the visitors would carry back
with them the same pleasant feelings
of us as we hold regarding them. The
humble appropriation asked for is
needed. We are pleased to be sc
largely visited by your body.
| Mr.. VanSant asked all the members
OF the legislature who favored the ap
preparation to arise and go on record
and all stood up.
Judge Buck was called upon anC
said that he had absolutely declined
to make speech. Twenty-Five years
ago he prepared and got through the
legislature bill to establish this
school, and ever since then he
had worked and labored for the
school and prayed for the success OF
the school, and it was the first time
in the history of the world that the
prayers of sinner have been an
sWered. During this time his hail
had grown gray and he was poorer.
President Soaring, on behalf oil
teachers and graduates, thanked the
visitors for their visit and remarks
Later on visit from the senate com
mittee is expected and will be
welcomed.
The school was then dismissed, and
the visitors then repaired to The
Saulpaugh, and after dinner they re-
turned to st. Paul on the %. nj. train.

primary grades, assembled in the
main hall at eleven o'clock, and after
several excellently rendered choruses,
in which all joined, President Soaring
arose and made some remarks. He
referred to the anxiety for an enlarge
ment of the building two years ago.
whereas now the surroundings are
much more felicitious, and the build

We are pleased to see SO many with
us, three times the number expected.

that the building has been leased IN

machinery will be added and the en-
tire plant remodeled. Mr.. Hughes
declined to state who the actual pre-
prietOrs will be.

tor for some time. Mrs. Thiel stated

Visit to the Normal.

| The distinguished visit RS were
nearly all on hand at the hotel when
a long string of hacks and private
conveyances met them at the door at
nine O'Clock, sthe hour upon which it
had been agreed to start for the school
building. A number of citizens were
on hand, and escorted the visitors to
their destination. A large number of
gathered at the school, and at the
close of the first period, 9:l5 am, all
found seats on the stage. The entire
school was gathered together, the
kindergarten department. coming in
last.
The usual morning exercises were
gone through with, including hymn
by the entire school, accompanied by
Miss Griffin at the piano. Rev. f. NJ
Washburn led in responsive reading
from [ Corinthians XIII. Rev. Lee
W. Beattie offered prayer, and the
Lords prayer was repeated by the
students, which was followed by a
selection from 'Nearer My God to
Thee" by the chorus.
President Soaring stated that it was
a pleasure to welcome SO large dele
CATION from the legislature, both
ladies and gentlemen, and also our
own citizens He had been pleasantly
disappointed in the large number
present, but the size of the building
was now such that a much larger
number than ever before could be
easily entertained. The latch string
of every door would be open, and all
were more than welcome to visit every
part of the building. The total en-
rOllment is now 6S1, while the whole
enrolment last year was but 634 I'm
doubtedly the attendance for the
present year will go over 700. There
is now an increase of 16in the Normal
department., and At in the entire
school.
The various classes were then dis
missed to their rooms, and the march
ing was so excellent as to bring the
applause of the visitors.
The next hour was devoted to visits
to class rooms, the guests dividing up
into small squads. The kindergarten
department seemed to be the favorite
one, and it was crowded. Speaker
Van SAINT stated that it would COM
pare favorably with any school of the
kind in the country. This sentiment
found ready response among the other
visitors.
All seemed to be exceedingly well
pleased with the appearance of the
building and the extensive improve
ments made since two years ago. 1t
actually seemed to many like an en-
tirely new building, with nothing of
the old remaining.
The sentiment was unanimous in
favor Of granting the small appropria-
tion of 1000 this year asked for.

National Linseed Oil company on West
Polk street was destroyed by fire quickly.
causing loss OF about $400. 900, fully COW
cred by insurance. The fire was one OF
the fercest the department has had to
deal with for long time. At 2:20 a. m.
the engine room, the warehouse and the
barreling department. were ablase from
top to bottom and the boiling department
had ignited. Five watts in the rear, con-
tanning more than 100000 gallons of oil,

them. Special efforts were made to keep
the fire from reaching the tanks. If the
tanks are destroyed the loss from the fire
will exceeu $500, 900.

Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special wire.
NEW YORK, July 20.-A Key West
Florida, dispatch says: Sensational re-
ports in regard to Cuban matters were
brought by passengers on the steamer
Mascotte which arrived from Havana
late last night. According to the passen-
gers, a special car closely covered arrived
in Havana on the 18th. Some one was
taken from it and carried to the palace
surrounded by strong guard OF soldiers.
The report is also current in Havana
and generally believed that this person
was Captain General de Campos and that
he is suffering from serious wounds re-
ceived In the battle near Bayamo. at
which General Santocildes was killed.
The most sensational stories are ahoat
in Havana in regard to this battle. 1t is
admitted there that the Spaniards were
defeated with great slaughter. 1t is be-
lieved from the meagre information that
the Spaniards lost 1000 men in this ba tie.
The insurgents had $500 men and the
Spanish troops numbered 2000.
KEY WEST, Fla. July 20.-Cubans
are elated tonight over late advices from
Cuba and confirmation Of the death Of
Santociides. In the battle in which he
was killed Campos was in command Of
the Spanish forces, and received a wound
in the battle. About 1000 men, it is
claimed, were killed and wounded on
the Spanish side. The Cuban loss, it
is said, is not so great. The wherea-
boats of Campos and his son is not
known, and it is supposed the Cubans
have surrounded them. This engagement
occurred between Bayamo and Manzanil-
10. Great excitement prevails in official
circles at Havana over the disappeara nee
of Campos
