Judge Kicks and report to congress
whether or not he should be impeached,
held session Tuesday with Judge Rick
present. After examining several wit
nesses and also listening to statement
of Judge Kicks, Mr.. Harrison, one of the

s'Resolved, That while the committee
is not satisfied that Judge Kicks has
been guilty of any wrong committed

eYMkHANA IN LONDON.

How the English Are Amusing Them
selves with an Indian Sport.
The gymkhana, sort of gymnastic
hash, in which the participants are ex-
pected to exercise their ingenuity in
devising all sorts of unheard of per-
formances, has been introduced into
England from India. The sport is very
popular in that part of the orient, but
is little known in western countries.
The idea was launched in London
the other day, and according to the
papers there the lovers of sport have
gone crazy over it. The most amusing
event on the programme was a cos
tune race. Seated on side saddles and
attired in dresses of the gayest colors
and the most startling cut five men
went round the course, which included
bushed hurdle. Two ballet girls
Cboth men) covered their ponies quar-
ters with voluminous skirts, a Dolly
Warden and baby in bed gown and sun
bonnet, and raced for the fence, and
Charley's Aunt brought up the rear.
Another feature of the day was the OBJ
stacle race, in which a variety of OBJ
jects likely to put ponies on were ar
ranged round the course. The one
that attracted people most was the
series of paper screens through which
the ponies had to force their way. The
head-to-tail race and the handkerchief
dash were mirth-provol<ing features.
In the former men rode at lively speed
with their faces toward the horses
tails, and in the latter a rider dropped
a lady's handkerchief on the ground,
then at gallop picked it up without
leaving the saddle.

GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Terrible Catastrophe Averted BY Pub.
lie Speakers seIf-ControI.

Terr1bIe Catastrophe AVerted by q euD-
lie Speakers Self-Control.
One of the Sights of Philadelphia,
fifty years ago, was a magnificent
lected by Mr.. Dunn, munificent mer-
chant, were displayed in a building
erected on the site on which now stands
the Continental hotel. Over the mu-
scum was long, narrow upper room,
about thirty-fve feet high. 1t was
public hall, used for lectures and con-
certs, and with it was associated a most
remarkable instance of presence of
mind. A correspondent of the London
Spectator tells the thrilling story.
In the central part of this immense
auditorium were collected one evening
about three thousand persons. At
about nine o'clock, the manager of the
building came to the leader of the
meeting, white with alright, and told
him that the floor had sunk nearly a
foot, and that in few minutes more
the lemons of the joists might be out of
their sockets.
The floor would then fall through
onto the Chinese museum, and the
walls, sixty feet in height, would col
lapse and be precipitated, with the
roof, upon the assembly.
The leader explained to the person
whom the audience expected next to
hear, that by addressing the assembly
from the end of the hall, he could with
draw the company from the sunken
part of the floor to that where the
front walls strengthened the joists to
bear the weight of the people.
The reply to this was that his own
family was in the audience, and that
he must get them out first. ''Y0u shall
nOt!" said the leader; ''a hint of danger,
rush, and we shall all be under the
fallen walls and roof. Five minutes
delay may kill us altogether"
As boy in the audience well re-
member my surprise at seeing the
leader suddenly appear at the far front
of the room, and tell the people that
| they would next be addressed from
where he stood-the organ-1oft. AS
the audience turned and moved to the
front, the flooring rose six inches.
The people were entertained partly
by an impromptu sentimental song in
a voice without quaver, in the very
face of death, and as soon as practica-
BILE they were quietly dismissed.
Not a single individual in that great
assembly was aware that, by the pres
ence of mind of one man, an awful ca
tastrophe had been averted. The
imagination sickens at the thought Oh
what would have been the consequence
of a panic and sudden alarm by the
failure of the courage of this man.
1 am confident that, excepting the
speaker referred to and the manager OF
the building, no one outside the imme.
diate family of the man whose courage
prevented this catastrophe has known
the whole story till now.
The terror of those minutes before
the crowd was moved and the floor
rose toward its level, was such, that he
never, even in his own family, alluded
to the scene, though he lived for forty
years afterward.

GOOD REASON FOR TT.

Brooklyn is wrestling with strike
that, large at first, is beginning to as
sume immense proportions. We have
never believed in strikes as a proper
means of correcting the grievances be-
tween employer and employe. The
strike is always accompanied by vio-
lence, almost always by bloodshed and
by suffering, and it is un-American.
But there'are good many other things
that are un-American. One of these is
the submission to tyranny; and another
is the forcing of freemen-the laborers
of the country-into a serfdom that is
little short of slavery, and in some re-
spects is worse than that. Yet another.
is the yielding to corporate greed.
When a fleshless and bloodless corpora
ton. with no body to kick and no soul
to damn, that was begotten in legisla-
tive iniquity and conceived in municipal
sin, yet with rights and privileges
greater than that of the citizen, takes
advantage of its incorporeal nonentlty to
cinch the public and enslave the laborer,
there is no resistance that is un.A Ameri-
can; no resistance that is not duty
The cause of the strike in Brooklyn
was, in one sense, a trivial matter, but
the principle behind that cause was
great. The street railways employ
about 5000 men. A scheme was
Matched up, and was being enforced,
that took from each of those men from a
cent or two to fifteen or twenty cents, or
more, every day. The men were only
paid for the time they were actually on
the rails. If a man was forced to wait
for even three minutes, while his car
was being sent out, he was docked that
time. In the course of the day this
docked time would add up to, some
times a considerable amount, perhaps
half an hour or more. The loss to the
working man was small-a matter of
five, ten, or twenty cents day; but the
saving to the com mpanies would aggregate
$500 per day. The companies were
moved by the same spirit of greed that
moved Ananias, whose fate they might
well ponder over. The companies are
determined to win, at no matter what
cost of human life; at no matter what
cost to human liberty and our boasted
American freedom. The winning o
that fight means $1SO,OOO year taken
from it's employees, as forcibly as rapa-
cious, and as unlawfully as any similar
tribute was ever levied by the robbel
barons of old.
Corporate greed is the rock upor
which our good ship of state will yet
wreck, if it is not checked, and the true
patriot will ever be found on the side o
the bone and sinew, the muscles anC
blood, the heart and brain of the land
the workingman; instead of the flesh
less brick and pulseless mortar in which
the artificial man, the corporation, finds
tangible surroundings for it's intangible
body.
The Boston tea party was riot; thu
conflict at Lexington nothing but {
strike. Taking a mans time withou
paying him for it is the first step toward
enslaving him, and is much more seri
GUS offense than "taxatlon without rep
resentation." Let the corporation
learn to be just to others, for otherwise
the day will soon come when they will
ask in vain for justice of the devil the!
have created.

that the amendment of Senator Nc
Hale was not in order as there was
| already pending a substitute for an
amendment. 1t was agreed that the
| committee would recommend progress
on the bill and defer until another
/ sitting the further discussion of the
! bill.
The capitol bill introduced by the
Ramsey county delegation was made

| ternoon.
On motion of Senator Durham
! House File No. was substituted for
| his bill, being S. F. SIS, providing for
regulating the use of pound nets in
international waters, and was recon-
mended to pass. When the committee
arose the action on this bill was ex-
! copied from the report.
The judiciary committee held a, meet
| ing to consider the bill designed to re-
peal the special law which fixes the
salary of the county attorney of Jack
son county. An address was made to
the committee by County Attorney
Funck. of Jackson county, in favor of
the bill to repeal the law. He claimed
salary of that office as low as fixed by
the special law, but that the board of
county commissioners should be able
to fix the salary as provided by the
general law. The committee unani-
mously agreed to recommend the pass
age of the bill.
The Ramsey and Hennepin delega-
lions got together yesterday noon, but
no important action was taken. Sew
erai Minneapolis people were present
In the interest of a certain. bill which
is in the hands of Senator Potter, but
which will hardly be introduced. The
bill places the liquor license fee for
wholesale druggists at $3.50 and for
wholesale liquor dealers at $500.
j. Z. Eliel. of Minneapolis. stated that
at present the wholesale druggists
were furnishing certain articles, prin-
cipally alcohol, without paying any
license fee. The law did not exempt
them, but the law was not enforced.
They would rather pay something
than be in their present positions.
Mr.. Eliel was informed that there
would probably be trouble if any at
tempt was made to change the present
license law, but before anything could
be done the gathering broke up.
