County Commissioners Cheese "A
New superintendent of the
Poor Farm.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of county commissioners was
held yesterday morning and the first
matter of any Importance which came
up was the election of a county super
intendent of the poor farm to sue
ceed Mat Hits. Hits expected a re-
election, but was emphatically turned
down and ex-County Commissioner
George Coburn elected to the position.
With the turning of 1ltis comes a
relic of the recent senatorial fight at
st. Paul. Mat has a brother in the
state senate who represents Chaska,
and it is claimed that the senator
threw his support from Washburn to
Knute Nelson on condition that Mat
be retained as superintendent OF the
Hennepin county poor farm, Dave
Clough giving the assurance that he
could swing the board of county COM
missioners any way he pleased with
but the wink of an eye.
The old, old Minnesota dam matter
came up before the board once again.
Commissioner Nash recommended a
conference between the lake committee
Of the board and the property owners
interested, County Attorney Nye hav-
ing recommended that compromise be
made. 1t is understood now that in
case compromise cannot be reached
the board will allow the whole matter
to drop.
Monthly reports were received from
the register Of deeds, showing receipts
81, 1856, expenditures, $1,202.76; county
treasurer, receips S1,056.12, expenditures
81, 23S. 80, poor farm, receipts S800.S2, eX-
penditures $3.50. Inmates at the poor
farm for the month had been SO. The
auditors annual report was also pre-
scented.
Commissioner Egan wanted to see the
Marchant litigation settled by voting to
pay the SS83.33 secured on a judgment
against the county for damages caused
by a road being run through Mar
chants farm, but the county attorney
favored an appeal, as the judgment
seemed exorbitant and the board re-
fused to appropriate the amount asked.
The bid for the printing from the
board went to the Times at a rate of
$1.24 an inch for legal notices and $25
a column for official proceedings. The
Times bid was the only one received
and a bond for S1,0G0 was ordered &C
eepted.
The matter of the approving of
bonds filed by the Washington, City,
First National and Security banks as
county repositories was next brought
up and the bonds presented by the sew
era1 banks were approved.

EXPO. BUILDING DEBT.
SOM ethinG Must Be Done Quickly
T for Its Settlement.

The stockholders of the Minneapolis
Exposition met in the rooms of the
Jobbers' association yesterday morn
ing. ?. D. Mcmillan presided. The
meeting was called in the interest of
the stockholders, as the affairs of the
exposition are in such a tangle that
immediate action to save the property
from being sacrificed was deemed nee
essary. A good deal of desultory talk
was INDUCED in, most of those present
favoring the continuance of the expo
sotion, but the secretary informed the
gentlemen that in nine days judgment
could be entered against them for
$1,000, and that something must be done
at once. There is a mortgage of
$4,000 on the valuable property, and the
stockholders cannot bear the idea of
letting it go for such e, paltry indebt-
edness.
A committee consisting of Judge
Fish, Geoge H. EIwell, F. c. Barrows,
c. P. Lowell and W. B. Augir was
finally appointed to ascertain from the
city officials what the city would or
could do towards acquiring the Elk
position building and the lots on which
it stands. 1t was also suggested that
in case of failure in this direction,
new company be formed for the pur-
pose of paying off the debts of the old
concern.

WASHINGTON. Feb 4. - The report
from Shanghai that hunting party
from the United States steamer Concord
had been overpowered and carried
off by the natives near Chin
Kiang. because they had accident
ally shot a Chinaman, although not
yet officially confirmed, has given rise
to grave concern at the navy and state
departments Chin Kiang lies on the
Yang Use river, 146 miles above
Shanghai and just below the mouth Of
The Grand canal. The country is ia
nous for lis game, and whenever 4
naval vessel is i'll the harbor the officers
avail themselves Of the opportunity TO
hunt.
1t is felt at the state department, how
ever, that the officers OF the Concord
showed very bad judgment i'll indulging
in their desire for sport while the coun-
try Is now disturbed and the
natives are so jealous of the press
ence of foreigners. Ii is not be-
lieved. however. that the party is in
imminent danger if the commander of
the Concord shows prudence i'll dealing
with the case. As to the best method
of settling the matter and securing the
release of the prisoners there is dit
ference of opinion between the officials
of the state and navy department. The
former believe that The best course
to pursue would be 10 apply
to the Tartar general in
command at Chin Kiang. who would
compel the natives to give up the priS-
oners and thus avoid any breach OF in
ternational law. The naval officers. on
the other hand, indorse the action of
Capt. Craig i'll sending an armed relief
party from the Concord in pursuit, rely
ing upon the fear of the natives of the
