of the Infamous conduct OF this Senate, l
warn you that the northern part of the
state will within the next decade no longer
be part Of the state Of Minnesota" This
threat Of secession, uttered by Senator
Spencer in the explanation OF his vote on
the general appropriation, was pronounced
by all who heard it the most remarkable
sentiment given expression to by any Sem
atOr during the recent session. 1t all came
about in this way: Duluth wanted nor
NAL school, and secured the passage OF a
law establishing one in that city, but max
ing no appropriation for it. The Duluth
members In the House secured the inser-
ton in the general appropriation bill of an
item of $40, 600 for starting the building.
In the Senate, after hard fight, this was
stricken out and Senator Spencer, in the
course Of his speech of explanation, said
the above words. Other Duluthians in the
city do not agree with him.
/ MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, special: The
millers here report that the sales of flour
the past day or two have been enormous.
The avidity with which offers are picked
np at advanced quotations proves that
stocks of flour everywhere are practically
exhausted and that the trade begins to be-
lieve that possibly the present advance IS
but the commencement of very material
one. The millers advanced prices all over
the country 10 cents per barrel day or
two ago and have followed with another
10 cents. They have also advanced prices
in Chicago. This would seem to indicate
that the flour war In that city is over.
Some of the milling concerns here say their
sales have been the largest in the history OF
their business.
DENVER, Colo, special: Gov. Mcintyre
and Senator Teller are the leaders in the
movement already started to push the
organization of non partisan silver clubs
in the west in accordance with Gen.
Warmers suggestion. Senator Teller ex-
pressed the belief that the Republican Ma
tional Convention would nominate the
man who would advocate single gold
standard. He said the single standard
men were organizing, no matter whether
they had formerly been Republicans or
Democrats, and they would act in har-
noay IN the future. He advised the or
ganixation and concentration Of the silver
forces without delay.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, special: Ferdinand
Schwant, workman on the new City Hall
Building, fell from the sixth door and
passed through the roof covering an ele-
waiting engine. The roof was composed of
2-inch planking, but the boards snapped
like glass and Schwant fell astride the
engine, breaking off the steam gague and
1liing the shanty with steam that scalded
and almost suffocated James H. Kent, who
wa IN charge Of it. Schwant was drag
ged out In an unconscious condition, but
revived sufficiently to walk to an emer-
gency hospital ambulance.
Milwaukee special: Attorney General
Mylrea secretly met Ephraim Mariner, j.
v. Quarles, ]. G.. Flanders, General F. G.
Winkler, and other Milwaukee lawyers at
the Pfister Hotel. The lawyers made ar
guments Il ain effOrtto convince him he
ought to sign the release of judgments
against ex-State Treasurcrs Baetz, Kuehn,
and McFetridge, which he had refused to
do. 1t was a fight for fortune, of over
$500, 600, but at the end Of the long ordeal
the parties were no nearer together than
they were at first.
UKLAH, CAL, special: A small unnamed
island on the coast Of this (MendO Gina J
county, opposite B0urnes landing, is now
in state Of eruption. For some time past
it has been reported the flames were issuing

edith, who resides in Trinity County, and

west. He investigated and found that Il
