PLAYING FOR PLACE.
NettletOn's Rink Suffers Another
Defeat at Winnipeg.

special TO the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Feb 13.-The
great curling bonspiel still goes on
apace. The games tomorrow and Sat
urday will be even more interesting
than those already played, as the con-
tests are nearly finished It Is now
impossible to finish the bonspiel this
week. There have been so many de-
lays and outside ice was in several
instances unsuitable for curling. The
chief event today was the International
match between George Nettleton, of
st. Paul. and r. J. Mcleod, of Du-
luth, representing the United States,
and r. H. Dunbar, of the Winnipeg
Thistles. and S. G. Harstone, Of the
Winnipeg GRANTEES, representing Can
ada, and it proved rather one-sided
the score being 50 to II in favor of the
Canadians. Dunbar defeated Mcleod
II to 3, and Harstone defeated Nettle-
ton Il to 9. The Winnipeggers having
beaten all corners, there will now be
competition among the city Kinks for
the prize. One Of the greatest attrac-
lions at the bonspiel is a rink of In
dian boys from the Elkhorn Industrial
school. Crowds Of citizens gathered to
see and encourage them in each game
and it seems to spur them on, for as
yet they are undefeated.
In the grand challenge event this
afternoon Nettleton was defeated by
McDougall, Of Port Arthur "a to IS,
and tomorrow morning Nettleton
meets Huffman, of the Winnipeg This
ties. In the Walkerville competition
Mcleod defeated Stewart, of Brittle,
10 to 9, but in the next draw Mcleod
lost to Sparkling, of Portage la Prairie.
This defeat puts Mcleod out of all
contests without a prize. Nettleton
still has good chance for place.

The board Of the Children's Home So

The superintendent stated that 100
children had been received In the care

Rev. d. b. jackson and Mrs. u. L.

throughout the state. Many towns not
heretofore visited have been reached,

West Concord, Olivia, Rush City,

OPPOSE A LIBRARY BUILDING.
Two Property Owners Are Against
the Butler-Ryan Proposition.

Two Property Owners Are Against
the Butler-Ryan Proposition.
The assembly committee on public
buildings and markets considered yes
terday forenoon the proposition Of the
Butler-Ryan company, offering to build
and donate to the city a library build
ing, to be erected at st. Peter and Sew
enth streets, in return for the fee SIM
pie of the remainder Of the market
house property. Walter Butler was on
hand to enlighten the committee upon
the proposition. Mr.. Butler said that
the company would erect a library
building 134 by rs feet, which would cost
SITS, 600 to $4,000. The building would
be located on the west end of the prop
erty. leaving. an alley 16 by 25 feet on
the north side, the remainder of the
property $50 by 200 feet, to revert to the
Butler-Ryan- company in fee simple
The company was willing however, to
erect the library on any other site re-
quested
What the company intended to do
with the remainder Of the market house
property, Mr. Butler declined to state,
as the only question to be decided was
whether the company was giving the
city the worth Of its money.
Charles Steele and George Mitsch Jr,
who were present. objected to the pro-
posed location of public library. Mr..
Steele said that while a public library
was splendid institution, 1t would be
better for the city to centralize business
property. Commissioner Mftsch thought
that a library building in this imme-
diate neighborhood would not be an i'm
provement to the district.
The committee then adjourned until
afternoon. when the members met, and
after discussing the three propositions
relative to the market house, decided to
submit the entire matter to the assem-
bly, without recommended ton. This was
done, as recounted in another column.

HOMESEEKERS, EXCURSIONS.
Railroads to Aid In the Immfgration
Movement,

The roads in the Western Passenger
association have taken steps to aid in
the general immigration movement
which has lately been pushed with SO
much vigor all through the Northwest.
and to that end have decided to inau-
gurate a series of spring homeseekers'
excursions. These have been given be-
fore, but not with the system which
this year 1T is proposed to follow, and
which, 1t is believed, will rebound to
the success of this Northwestern coun-
try, as well as add to the Golfers of
the various passenger lines In the asso-
citation. The localities covered by the
proposed series include points in North
ern Wisconsin, Southwest Minnesota.
Western Iowa, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and Kansas. These points, In ad-
dition to the points covered by the win
ter excursions, namely, in the South
west and Southeast, comprise a won
derful country for prospective settlers,
as yet but Sparcely occupied.
The usual rate Of one fare, plus 49,
for the round trip has been made with
the additional privilege Of returning Oh
any Tuesday or Friday within twenty
days after the sale of the ticket.
What railroads term the "going
dates" when the tickets are good, have
been fixed as follows: March 10, April
and 81, and May 8.
This action on the part of the lines
Is expected to accomplish much good
in the way of settling up the fertile,
but, In many cases. unused lands of
the territory named above.

I'll tell you, confidentially. Maher is

by as hard a looking set of men on

They patro1led the fouS that is within
fifty yards Of it, all night, and had the

learned from Deputy Marshal Jim
Boards son, who waits on us at the
house, they thought we were going to
pack up and leave for the battle

us up. Neither Maher nor anybody in

boots on and unless Stuart can guar

MERCY TO CYCLISTS.

sentence Against Titus and Cabanne
Abated.
BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 13-The
representative men Of the League Of
American Wheelmen have gone home
after an assembly which for hard work
and its effect upon the future Of the
league and Of bicycling in general, will
long be remembered. Among the most
important Of it's results are: The abo-
lition Of Class B, the determination
that the league shall retain control Of
cycle racing, increasing fees for sane
tons, which it is hoped will result in
forcing outside clubs to join the league;
the adoption Of numerous wise rules
for the better regulation of racing, and
general strengthening up all around
In the leagues position. This has been
done without the creation of any hard
feeling among the members and the
meeting will be marked by a notable
absence Of anything in the shape of
acrimony. The old administration
gave way most gracefully to the new
and those who were unable to accom-
pllsh what they came here to do pock-
eted their defeat with a smile and
promised tC do the best they could
anyhow. By leaving it to the executive
committee to adopt a plan looking to
the selection of the place for the annual
meet without leaving it to vote of
the convention, disturbing element
has been eliminated from future gath
erfngs Of this nature. From the talk
in the convention during the discussion
Of the motion, it seems probable that
the executive committee will decide to
leave the selection of the place for the
meet to vote Of all the male members
of the league, the ballot to be cast in
January Of each year. The mantle of
charity was thrown over the short
comings Of Titus and Cabanne and
almost the final act of the meeting was
the practical reduction of their SEN
tence from life suspension to suspen-
sion for one year.

STRONG CASE AGAINST MANNIx.
No Doubt but His Sentence of ExpuI-
sion Is Deserved.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Although William
f. Mannix, the newspaper correspondent who
Is about to be expelled from Cuba by the Span
ish officials, has lodged protest with the state
department.. This will certainly not command
any sympathy in his case, in view Of the rec
ord Of the proceedings Of Mannix. which is
now In the possession Of the state department.
This record Is in his own handwriting in the
shape OF letters, addressed by him to certain
officials and shows clearly that he proposed to
the Spanish authorities to act as a spy upon
the Cuban insurgents, that he offered to betray
to them Cuban officer with whom he slept,
and that he proposed to cultivate q feeling of
friendship towards the Spanish cause in the
United States through the medium of letters
to the many newspapers in the United States
including the most important publications in
this country, and all this for consideration
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 13.-Another

DUNRAvEN,s CASE.
Letter on the Way and Action Is
Put Off by the Yacht Club.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13-It was gen
orally understood that at meeting of
the New York Yacht club which took
place tonight, the Dunraven-Defender
case would be settled for good and all.
Final action, however, was agin de-
feated for two weeks. Capt. L. c. Cass
Ledyard offered a resolution reciting
that Lord Dunraven had charged foul
play was practiced by those in charge
Of the Defender in. the recent races
for Americas cup, and had offered no
apology, and requesting his resignation
as an honorary member of the club.
AT this point Secretary Oddie read a
cablegram from Dunraven saying that
Forwarded letters Rives Saturday.
Phelps today"
AS soon as this cablegram had been
read, j. Pierpont Morgan said: 'In
view Of the dispatch read by the sec
rotary, 1t seems unwise that the club
take any action tonight on the resolu-
lions offered by Capt Ledyard"
He moved an adjournment for two
weeks, which was carried.

but he said his visit at this time had
no special significance. He found rail-
road business only in moderate condi-
ton, he said, although there was no

owing to the big crop of grain, the
general good effect of which was felt,
not only with the farmers, but with
the railroads and business men.

DEBATE ON CHARTERS.
Arrangements for the Discussion in
Market Hall Completed.

Market Hall Completed.
There was conference yesterday aft
ernoon Of the gentlemen interested in

scheduled for the Market hall, Monday
evening next. Judge Schoonmaker. of
this city, and Frank N. Stacey, of Min
neapolis, the disputants, were present,

for the debate. The resolution to be the
basis Of the debate was worded, and 1t
reads:
Resolved, That st. Paul and other
Minnesota cities should adopt the gen.
eral municipal act known as the How
ard charter, rather than support the
proposed constitutional amendment al
lowing cities In this state to frame
their own charters on the home rule
plan.
The wording of this resolution, 1t will
be seen, throws open for debate the
whole charter discusssion-the Howard
charter. the Sheehan home rule plan
and the present instrument under
which St Paul is being governed.
Judge Schoonmaker takes the affirm
alive of the resolution and Mr.. Stacey
the negative.
The Lincoln assembly. A. X. p, has

bodies to attend the debate, and 1t is
reported that there will also be present

officials and members of the common
council. The Market hall that evening

zen an opportunity Of becoming thor
