MORTON FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
The Governors Chances for Second
Place Seem Good.

The Governors Chances for Second
Place Seem Good.
St. Louis. June 1.-THE corridors of the
Southern hotel are filed tonight with vice
presidential gossip. 1t is openly asserted
at the New York headquarters, and it is
believed by politicians generally, that
Gov. Morton will accept the nomination if
the convention desires. to honor him with
the second place on the ticket. The Plat
men in the New York delegation do not
agree in their conclusions respecting Gov.
Morton's chances. Ardent Morton men,
such as Congressman Qu1gg, Tor example,
believe that he will be nominated. Mr..
Lauterbach is non-committal and de-
clines to be quoted. but he is apparently
of Mr. Quigg's mind. There are other of
the EIatt men, however, VINO either pro-
TESS Ignorance Of Gov. Morton prospects,
or who sadly admit that the outlook is
not encouraging. On one point an the
New Workers are agreed. They will not
present the governors name unless they
are certain of his success. They
do not intend, as one OF the
number expressed it tonight,
TO put Morton up second time to be
knocked down. Mr.. Lauterbach figures
that after the silver men snail nave bolt
ed the convention tomorrow the exact
number of delegates remaining will be
SSi, of which 443 are necessary to choice.
If the figures presented by Gov. Mortons
friends are correct he will win by bare
majority if Mr.. Lauterbach's- estimate is
realized. The anti-Morton forces do not
see how the New Yorw governor can Sc
cure sufficient strength to land him
winner. They concede him the dele
gates from Names, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island; all but seventeen Of New
York; on-third of Ohio; all but FIVE In
Pennsylvania; all in Michigan and a scat
tering vote in a number of other states
They viii not concede him more than 800
votes a the utmost. An effort has been
made TO hold the Mckinley contingent in
line to be voted as a unit for Mr.. Hobart
Ohio men and Of very considerable num-
Der of AIcKinley's followers in other DEL
egations, and there are many shrewd po-
iilleal observers who believe tonight that
he will be nominated.

ticut are making az earnest canvass in

St. Louis. June 17.-Convention tickets
Tor one session were quoted last night
at 50 cents and 81 depending on location.
This is due to the fact that more than
5000 seats were unoccupied yesterday.
The price previously was $40 for the entire
convention.
The Reed men are very active and claim
they have made serious inroads among
the Mckinley men. They declare that
they are in dead earnest and the last
thirty-fOur hours had brought about a

campaign, was looking after things. This
committee is composed of delegates from
every Mckinley state and also some states

to prevent Receiver Martin from pos

Thus both sides were bound by iron

ORTONVILLE, Mimi, Dec. Is
United States Surveyor w. c. Weeks,
or Minneapolis, and corps are here
Their presence here is to make an ac-
curate survey Of Big Stone and Tray-
erSe lakes, also to survey the foot of
Big Stone lake for the proposed great
dyke. An accurate level will also, be
taken assuming a given height of the
dyke at the foot of Big Stone and ex-
tending that line through to the foot
or Lake Traverse Thus with the sur
Vey and level the amount of land nee
essar1ly overfioWed by any given height
or dam can be accurately ascertained
The excavation necessary to complete
the canal connecting the two lakes
will also be computed. The object of
the survey is to bring these lakes into
the reservoir system. This would make
an immense reservoir and would serve
the double purpose of relieving the Red
river of the North of it's surplus wa
ter and supplying the Mississippi with
water during the dry season. 1t would
also make water course Of considera-
bic Importance to Western Minnesota
and North and South Dakota
BRAINERD, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-The
survey of the Gull lake government res
ervolr overflow is now completed, and
the government surveying crew today
returned to st. Paul. From that city
they will so to Big Stone lake and sur
Vey for the reservoir to be created
there. They expect to finish there
about March 1, after which they will
go to Shell lake and make a survey for
another reservoir. A great deal of OPP
position has developed to the construc-
ton of the Gull lake reservoir dam
by the government. The settlers who
own lands that will be overfowed ap-
pear to be all against it, and many
others claim that the removal of all
the overflow lands from the tax rolls
Will be serious loss to the county.
1t is also claimed that most of the set
tiers who will be flooded out will leave
the county. The settlers say that al
most the entire productive value of
their farms is in the meadows, all of
which will be overlooked.

VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION.
Two Banks Decide to Retire From
business.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Partly as re-
suit of the failure of the National Bank
of Illinois last week. the Atlas Nation
al bank began paying off its depositors
today, this making the first step in the
retirement of that institution from
business. No deposits were received
and as fast as accounts were checked
up depOsitOrs were paid in full and
their books taken up. The Atlas suf-
fered heavily from the run occaSioned
by the failure of the National Bank of
Illinois, deposits aggregating 5000, 900
having been withdrawn last week. This
and the fact that a gradual shrinkage
Of deposits, extending over a long pc
riod of time, brought the resources of
the institution down to low figure,
and it was decided to retire from bust
ness. The clearing house committee
at the request Of the officers of the
bank, made an investigation of it's
accounts with a view to allowing the
doors to close without loss to the pub
lie, and the bank was found to be SOL
vent. To expedite liquidation, so far
as the creditors are concerned, the COM
1nittee pledged the aid Of the asso-
ciated banks of Chicago.
The statement of Dec II showed a
surplus of $4,000 and undivided profits
of $4,000. The statement also showed
deposits OF 1850, 900, bills payable to
the amount Of 100000, loans and dis
counts of $1,941 900, and cash Of $780,
600. The deposits six months ago
amounted to SO, SOC, 0O0
Washington. Dec. 2S.-Mr Eckels
said today that the creditors of the
Atlas bank would be paid in full at
once through advances by the Chicago
clearing house, and, in his opinion, the
stockholders eventually would realize
100 per cent, thus losing nothing on
what they had put In.
Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-The Mccoy
Banking company, Of independence,
Mo. went into voluntary liquidation
today. The bank refused to receive
deposits this morning and began pay
ing It's depositors in full. The reason
given for the bank going out of bust

DID THEY LEAVE THE MILL.
Three Men Charged With RObbing
n Rolling Mill.

Samuel Brooks, Herman Pepin and
Jacob Kaplan were brought over from
Minneapolis and lodged in the county
Jail by Deputy Sheriff Horst yesterday
afternoon on the charge of larceny, be-
ing accused of completely in the disap-
pearance of So, 400 werth of machinery
from an unused mill at Irondale, this
county. The mill alleged to have
been completely denuded of it's ma
chinery belongs to the Harris Forge
and Rolling Mill company, and has
been idle for some time. There are five
men said to have been implicated in
the wholesale removal, two of them are
still at large. The complaint against
the quintette was made by Abraham
Goldman.
The men brought from Minneapolis
are junk dealers of that city, and claim
to have innocently purchased a por-
ton of the machinery from a stranger
who took them to the mill, representing
that the property belonged to him.
They were arrested several days ago,
but were held in the Mill City until
formal information could be lodged
against them in Ramsey county.
Brooks says he and Pepin purchased
only 500 pounds of the, machinery, for
which they paid 20 cents a hundred as
old iron. t4

tempted Highway Robbery.
Patrick Feeney, a young man re-
leased from the Workhouse last Satur-
day, was arrested by Officer Casey last
night on the charge Of attempted high
way robbery. Feeney is accused of
assaulting Miss Mary Johnson, of 429
East Seventh street, whom he accost-
ed in Smith park and subsequently
tried to drag into an alley OH Sibley
street, between Fourth and Fifth
streets, for the purpose Of robbery
The WOman'S cries attracted Officer
Casey who traced Feeney to a saloon
at Seventh and Broadway, where, after
being identified by Miss Johnson, he
was placed under arrest.
The alleged attempted robbery took
place at about 1890 o'clock Miss
Johnson had visited the establishment
of the Pierce sisters in the Lowry ar
cade with a view to obtaining a situa-
ton and was on her way home when
she was stopped by Feeney in the park
He asked her the way to the union
depot, pretending to be stranger in
the city, and while Miss Johnson walk
ed down Silbey street with him, de-
manded that she give him money The
couple had just reached the alley and
Feeney without warming, turned on
the woman and struck her a blow in
the face, at the same time Selling her
about the waist and attempting to
drag her between the buildings Miss
Johnson screamed for help, when
Feeney released his hold and ran up
the street. Officer Casey came to her
assistance a moment later, and taking
Miss Johnson with him, made a round
of the Seventh street saloons with the
result that Feeney was corralled in
one at Broadway. Feeney is but nine
teen years of age. He was arrested
some time ago for burglarizing Carl
sons tailor shop on Broadway street,
and later was sent to the workhouse
for ninety days on the charge of lar
ceny.
