Misadventures of Mr.. Denegre, Who
Came Near Wearing Toga.
No candidate ever came nearer the
United States senatorship and lot than
Walter Denegre Of Louisiana, who was
defeated for that position the other
day by Ex-Governor s. D. McEnery
Mr.. Denegre was an independent Dem
ocratic candidate, supported by those
who demanded a new and honest cleo
ton law, and constitutional conven-
ton and a reform in existing abuses
Starting with thirty votes for senator,
he reached sixty votes on May 26. The
election of senator was expected on the
next day, and 1T seemed CERTAIN that
Mr.. Denegre would win, and three
times on that day he was within an
inch of election.
1t required sixty-seven votes to elect
Mr.. Denegre got siXty-six votes. His
sixty-seventh man, Representative
Fauria, of ST. Tammany, who wanted
to vote for him, was a little late, but
ought to have reached the statehouse
in time. The opposition, however, put
every obstacle in his way, INSTRUCTED
the entrance to the assembly hail. and
Fauria got there just too late to vote.
Just before the vote was announced
Representative Trosclair, of Lafourche,
changed to Denegre, giving him q ma
JOrlty, out the speaker tailed to catch
his eye or to hear him, and the result
was announced as only sixty-six votes
for Denegre.
A second ballot was demanded, when
Denegre was assured of seventy-t two
votes. but the lieutenant governor who
was hostile to him, withdrew the senate
under a ruling which was afterward
shown to be erroneous. The next day
when Ex-Governor McEnery had been
telegraphed to and had consented to
run against Denegre the latter's ILL
luck continued. The ballot was an ex-
citing one, the two candidates keep
ing nip and tuck with each other.
In the midst of the excitement what
was the surprise of everyone to hear
Representative Kleinpeter, Baton
Rouge, an ardent Denegre man, vote
for MeEnery. 1t was a slip of the
tongue, made in the excitement of the
moment. The roll call was rushed on
before Kleinpeter discovered his error
and his vote elected McEnery. He
changed 1t afterward, but it was too
late. Thus four successive accidents

seemed securely within his grasp.

Aid. Rand offered a second resolu-
ton authorizing the the city engineer to

construction. Aid. McAllister asked the
city attorney if the city had a legal
right to rent space in the proposed CON
duits, and received an affirmative an

MAY BE A BOGUS COUNT.
Young Society Swell In the Cooler
Charged With SwfndIing.


Fred Volland, who according to himself,
lis known In the best society of the city,
was arrested last evening ct Hotel Lafayette,
Minnetonka, by inspectors Courtney and Nor
rissey, charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses. He was brought to this city
and placed in the central police station, and
will be arraigned in the municipal court to-
day. The arrest was upon a warrant which
bore as complainant the name of G. H. Perry,
q member Of the firm of the Printers Elec-
trotyping company. and charged the unlaw-
full possession Of $3.50. Volland is alleged to
have secured the money by stating he rep
resented the Jobbers association, who were
getting up a business directory Of the city,
and secured a contract from the Printers
Eleotrotyping company for advertising.
Volland was seen concerning the charge.
He was attired in black sack coat white
trousers and patent leather shoes, withal pre-
senting an unusual appearance for cell. He
admitted being engaged in publishing d.
rectory but stated he had not yet had time
to get it completed. He thought when he
saw the complainant the charge would be
withdrawn, as he could settle the amount.
Volland claims to have been in America four
teen months, four of which have been spent
in this city. He was in California three
wears ago attending the midwinter fair in
San Francisco, but stated he returned to
Germany after that.
The police think the prisoner may possibly
be the bogus count who recently cut swain
in California. They stated that other COM
plants would be secured against him today
on charges similar to the one upon when ne
was arrested.

TOWNE FOR PRESIDENT.
He VIII be Put Forward by PrOmi-
nent POpulists.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 17.-Hon. Charles A.
Towne, of Duluth, who represents the Sixth
Minnesota district in congress and who was
one OF the delegation who walked out of the
Republican national convention at St. Louis
with Senator Teller, will be put forward as
presidential candidate by prominent Populists
at the convention next week. A conference,
which broke up at midnight, decided upon
this course as the best means to counteract
the movement for Bryan. At the conference
were six prominent silver men and ten lead
ing Populists who came together informally
to discuss the political situation. 1t was also
decided that with his name should be pre-
scented platform of principles which has
been prepared by Cyclone Davis, the Pop
ulist leader of Texas. 1t is not known ex-
actly what this platform is, but it will no
doubt conform closely to the one adopted
in Omaha.
Charles A. Towne is only thirty eight years
of age and is serving his first term in con-
gress. Last winter he delivered in congress
one of the most brilliant speeches ever heard
there. When he returned home to Duluth
from the st. Louis convention Congress-
man Towne was met by 10000 people, who
gave him an ovation the result of his ac-
ton there.

BALFOUR DEFENDS
Position of the Government Is Not
Unusual.

LONDON, July 17.-Arthur Balfour the
Conservative leader in parliament, made a
speech tonight at the banquet Of the United
ties the government has encountered in Sc
curing the passage Of the Irish land bill and
the educational bill. Mr.. Balfour contended
that there was nothing exceptional in the
present state of the government and that nc
government ever succeeded at the first ses-
sion of parliament in passing more than q
sixth part of its programme. The moral he
drew was that until the method of procedure
was fundamentally reformed 1t would only
be possible to pass short bills, and that great
questions could be dealt with only by short
bills in succeeding sessions.

Ex-GOv. Peck, of Wisconsin, Guest
at MinnetOnI<a

Ex-Gov. George w. Peck, of Wis
consin, is the guest of friends at Lake
Minnetonka, and is located at West
Point. The ex-governor avoids politi-
cal discussions, saying that as chair
man of the Democratic state, central
committee of Wisconsin, he should be
guarded in his remarks. He believes.
however, that there will be few bolt
ers among the leading Democrats of
the state, and if the faction is strong
enough it may put up an independent
ticket. Gov. Peck is of the opinion
that the Democratic state ticket will
win out this fall, in Wisconsin. He
regards Bryan as level headed man
but thinks he has been over estimated
on account of his convention speech.

feet at the time, leaving his well-worn

of the shoes pinched his foot and he
seated himself on the curb and took it
from his foot. Soon two young fellows
came along. They accosted him famil-

explained it, when one told him to give
the shoes to them and they would go
and get them stretched. He waited
long for their return but they did not
come. Then he told the police.
