to propose to add dollar to the ap-
preparation fixed for the new capitol
The plan of anticipating revenue which
has been suggested does not change
the amount of the appropriation by
nickel, nor will it add the millionth
part of a mill to the tax levy fixed
by the capitol law. We do not wish
to think so meanly of any newspaper
IN this state as to believe that it will
continue to print a falsehood or re-
fuse to withdraw one after it's atten-
ton has been called explicitly to the
truth.
A very different case is that of the
Mankato Free Press. 1t notes the
charge that ST. Paul is maturing plans
to increase the cost of the capitol, eX-
plains what is really being done, and
says: 1.-THE Free Press takes no stock
in the rumor that st. Paul wants ali
increased appropriation. What it
wants and what the state needs is 4.
capitol building commensurate with
cur growing demands, and the present
appropriation can well and with econ
omy be made available so that the
structure can be pushed to rapid CON-
pletion." 1t will be time for our critics
anywhere to jump on St. Paul when
any bill is presented that would change
the aggregate appropriation for capi-
toll construction purposes If any such
comes to the front during the coming
session, the G o b promises to fight it
as persistently as any paper in the
state. Until that happens, why not drop
the lie that was born in a newspaper
office which holds the hatred of ST.
Paul superior to love of the truth or
decent journalism, and discuss the only
plan which has been for moment IN
any ones mind, and which contem-
plates merely the making available i'm,
mediately Of the receipts from the cap
itol tax levy for the last years of the
ten-year term in order that large con-
tracts may be let at once, and the
! building be made ready for occupancy
by the state, at a great saving to the
| people, some years earlier than could
| otherwise be done?

SCHUBERT CLUB CONCERT.
Another of the Choice Musical
Events Today.

The Schubert club programme to-
gay oiterS especial attractions to those
fortunate in admission cards The
Schubert clubs concerts are so ex-
elusive, that even its friends, who
would be glad to extend assistance and
pay for the privilege of participating
in its musical treats are barred from
the privilege and the publication of it's
programmes either before or after
presentation, is curtailed in news in
tereSt. But as a manifestation of the
excellence of these bi-monthly concerts,
the programme in full is here printed
The soloiSt for the occasion is worthy
of a more extended hearing. The selec-
tons cover almost the entire range Of
high class vocal composition. Such a
programme advertised and publicly
presented would be of distinct ad-
vantage to the Schubert socially and
to lovers of music as well. The concert
is to be held in Conover hall this after
noon. Madame Ragna Lime, soprano
is the soloist. The orchestral features
premise well when the selections are
considered. The assistance to the
soloist is outlined in the programme as

NEWS OF WEYLER.
Operations of the Captain General
in the Field.

HAVANA, Dec. 1.-Gen. Fuguere,
hearing that the insurgents bands Of
Delgado, Verjel and Cartillo were en-
camped at the Navia farm near San
Jose de Losas, left that town at sunrise
yesterday and engaged the en-
envy at o'clock in the morning. The
insurgents were divided into two large
parties and promptly opened fire on
the Spanish advance guard. Soon after
two squadrOnS Of the Pizzarro regiment
charged the enemy and the Navias
battalion attacked the insurgents left
flank, capturing the first position. After
this advantage the insurgents were
successfully dislodged from the other
positions and were eventually disband-
ed and fed to the Sierra Blajano, Man
aduaco and Villa. The firing lasted
four hours. On the government side
Capt. Manuel Perez and Lieut.. Vallan-
mild, of the Pizzarro regiment, were
killed The insurgents are believed
to have lost over sixty men,
Gen. Linares, while accommodating
the heights near Abundance and other
places in Santiago de Cuba, has de-
stroyed an entrenched camp Of the
insurgents, who left eight men killed

ment
Capt. Gen. Weyler, after leaving
San Cristobal on Saturday, reviewed
the troops in that vicinity and moved
with his columns toward the burned
town of Santa Cruz de Los Pinos,
camped the same night at Taco Taco
and on Sunday went by the highway
toward Palacios and San Diego, pass
ing the farms Of Puercos and Ciegos.
AT Palacios, the captain general joined
forces with the columns of Gems Obre-
gon and Abio, the latter's troops be-
ing detailed to form ire advance guard
of the army.

THOSE SHORT PAY ROLLS.
Employees VIII Fare Even Worse
Than the Globe Figured.

The figures from the comptrollers
trial balance for November, were OBJ
tainable yesterday and according to
them the police department, municipal
court and city hall, and court house
commission funds are worse off than
was stated in yesterdays G o b e. The
coAhptroller's books show that the police
department fund has $2,20S.96, from
which the November pay roll amount
ing to $13, 618.1S is to be paid. The NUM-
cipa1 court fund has nothing to its
credit and the two judges, clerk and
deputy clerk, and stenographer, whose
monthly salaries foot up $87650 will
get no salaries on Dec. Is.
The city hall and court house help
twenty in number, are due to draw
about $500 as November salaries on
Dec. 15 In this fund according to the
comptroiler's books, there is only $9124,
about one-fifth of the amount needed
The pay rolls for these three depart
ments were not sent to the board Of
aldermen last evening to be passed.
City Clerk Jensen stated they would
come up later in the month. The idea
is that there will be considerable money
in the way of tax collections from the
county treasurer's Office during the
present month, and on the amount
from this source depends what per cent
of their November salaries the en-
ployes of the three departments will
receive.

DRIVEN BY DISEASE.
Explanation of Peter Nattson's Sui
eide by Poisoning.

The autopsy, which was held yester-
day afternoon on the body of Peter
Mattson, who died at his home, 740 Rice
street, has developed the fact that
Mattson committed suicide by taking
a dose of arsenic. The autopsy was
held at the undertaking rooms of
Thaung & Jacobson, corner of Pine and
Seventh streets, and was conducted by
Dr. Mcnamara. There were present
besides Coroner Whitcomb, Drs. Muir
ply, Stone FinneH, Dohm Gilfillan
and Foreman.
1t was proven beyond a doubt that
MattSOn died from the effects of ar
senic poisoning. The contents of the
stomach were removed and a more
thorough test will be given tomorrow,
which will in all probabilities substan-
tiate the present theory of suicide.
1t was found that the dead man had
been a sufferer from aneurism of the
aorta, which is an enlargement of the
main artery running from the heart
This is a very painful disease and prob
ably caused the unfortunate man to
take his own life.
Peter Mattson was a single man and
a woodsawyer by trade. He was seen
last at his boarding place on Sunday
afternoon, when he entered his room.
He never left the room alive. Monday
night at 8'clock the family with whom
Mattson boarded became anxious at
his long retirement and after knocking
at his door and receiving no answer,
forced open the door and discovered
the woodsawyer in bed, a dead man.
It is not known how long he was dead
before his body was discovered, but it
is believed that he took the poison Sun
day night.
The dead man looks to be about

D0RAN'S LITTLE AK.
Has Been Sharpened Up for Another
Swing.

The announcement several weeks ago
IN the G oh e that Deputy Sheriff
George HI. Irish would after jan 1
succeed Capt. Lowell as commander of
the police forces at Rondo street sta
ton, is now said to have been officially
decided upon. There was some Ques-
ton as to whether Irish would accept
the position but Eli Warner, who had
been looking the ground over, per-
suaded Irish that the position is not
such bad one after all and that it
would be the correct thing to accept
the appointment. In case something
better should turn up after the legiS-
lature gets down to business, and Ell
has promised to keep his eye open for
George, the police captaincy could be
resigned if necessary. 1t was suggested
that Irish might, after his appointment,
be transferred to some other sta
ton, but the mayor has decided that
as Irish lives in the section of the city
near to the Rondo street station, this
would be the place for him.
The politicians who always keep tab
on police officials claim that Capt
Lowell should have been decapitated
six months ago, as he was seen riding
about the polling places on election
day with the Democratic nominee for
mayor. This story is, however. denied
by Capt. Lowell and his friends, VINO
claim that the officer has always been
a Republican and has held his position
under Democratic rule owing to his
ability and competency for the posi-
ton. The ak of the chief executive is
being prepared for another swing, SO
the politicians say, and several heads
will fall in the police department about
the first of the new year. A sergeant
at the central station is slated for
decapitation, and several changes IN
the makeup of the detective depart
ment are announced for the holidays

BAND WANTS IT'S PAY.
Action Begun Against Pennsy1-
vania G. A. r.. Post

An echo of the Grand Army encamp-
ment found its way into the district
court yesterday, when suit for the re-
covery of $125 was begun by the Ellis
worth Cornet band against Abe Pat
terson Post No. SO, Department of
Pennsylvania, G. A. r. Both plaintiff
and defendant are organizations with
headquarters in Philadelphia, Pa, and
for cause of action the members Of
the band alIege that Patterson Post en-
gagged them to come to st. Paul for the
purpose of furnishing music during the
encampment, but subsequently, upon
their arrival in the city, repudiated the
contract and refused to accept their
services. It is claimed that the band
incurred the expense of railroad fare
to st. Paul and purchased special in
struments on the strength of the con-
tract, which in view of the action of the
post in refusing their services, caused
the members of the band damages in
the sum for which suit is brought.

NO EXTRAVAGANCE.
Economy to Be the Cry Mt the Conn
Ing Session.


WASHINGTON, Dec. There were
number of the house committee on
appropriations at the capitol today
The subcommittee on the legislative
bill had a long conference with the
civil service commissioners. Chairman
Cannon, in speaking Of the work of
the committee said:
Through the courtesy Of the treas
ury department, the committee on ap-
preparations has on hand advance cop
les of the estimates covering all the
bills over which that committee has
Jurisdiction. 1t would not be proper
for me at this time to speak Of the de-
tails of these statements, but as pub
1ished recently the estimates for forti-
fications amount to something more
than $4,000, 900. At the last session of
congress there was an important de-
parture from the. methods Of appro-
priations for Notifications, by giving
to the secretary of war authority to
enter into contracts for material and
labor for the construction of gun and
mortar batteries at the important ports
of our seacoast to the extent Of $780,
000. Just what the department has done
in the way of acting under this author
ity has not been developed.
1.-THE committee possibly will be en-
aEled to have the pension bill ready to
report to the house on the first or sec
Ond day of the session. They expect to
have the legislative bill in condition to
report by the middle or last Of the
first week of congress-"
What, in your judgment, will be the
policy of the committee touching liberal
appropriations for the public service?"
''It is perfectly we'll understood that
the revenues received by the govern
ment are not equal to the expenditures,
and that the difference has been and
is being paid from the proceeds of
money borrowed at interest. Keeping
this condition in view, in my judgment
the congress will provide by appropria-
tons for an effective public service,
taking care however, to avoid extrav-
agance and limiting appropriations to
the requirements of the government,
economically administered"

RACE TRACK ON THE RIVER.
Carnival Racing Committee Lays Out
Course.

Mat Jensen, chairman of the carnival
committee on racing accompanied by
Secretary Price, of the Capital Driving
club and a couple of surveyors, spent
yesterday afternoon in stalking out a
proposed race track on the river below
the Robert street bridge. The course
as laid out will give the carnival people
a track three quarters of a mile straight
away and from 120 to 100 feet wide.
Mr.. Jensen said there is no better place
in the city for the ice palace than on
the sand bar. opposite Sibley street on
the west bank of the river. The sand
bar is 800 feet long and as ground must
be had to build the palace on this spot
will have to- be- selected. The race
track as laid out will have the starting
point down the river and the finish or
wire in front of the ice palace, if it
should be erected on the site which Mr.
Jensen says is the only place for it.
The track will be 120 feet wide east
of Sibley street, and 100 feet from the
west line of Sibley street to a point 800
feet east of the Robert street bridge.
