Meetings.

The executive council of the state
historical society met in it's regular
monthly session at the state capital
building last evening with a good at
tendance. Interest in the work of the
association is on the increase and it is
expected the next regular meeting of

William III. Kelly, one Of the oldest
members Of the society and once it's
curator, read a paper last evening upon
"reminiscences of Persons and Events
in the Early Days of the Society,"" The
paper was devoted to incidents which
have outgrown the memory of any but
the oldest residents of the city. The
paper contained an account of the
celebration held in ST. Paul in 1858 to
celebrate the completion of the first
Atlantic cable.
Judge Nelson was invited to prepare
q paper. upon the early history of
Christian church, from which nearly
all of the Episcopal churches Of the
city sprung.
Judge Calvin l.. Brown OF Morris,
Mimi, was elected a life member of the
society. During the last four months,
the society has invested nearly $4,000
in historical books, which are constant
Iy open to the perusal Of the public.
During the same period 127 books, 319
pamphlets, one bound volume of news
papers, four maps, five pictures, twelve
articles for the museum, five manu-
scripts, in all 475 articles, have been
presented to the society to be placed
where the public can reap the benefit
therefrom.

WASHINGTON, Sept! kl4. The Span
1sh government has yielded TO the de-
mands of the United States for a trial
by civil court of the. Competitor pris-
oners. The formal announcement is
expected in the next mail from Minis
ter Taylor, I'm Madrid. Secretary OIL
ney-has insisted from the first that
the men were irregularly tried, and in
violation of the express treaty stipu-
lations. He requested a retrial, not by
way OF favor, but as a matter of right,
and In answers to INQUIRIES from mem
bers of the senate committee on foreign
relations, he aemphatically stated that
the administration would nev err sub
init TO the carrying out Of the. sentence
or the summary cOurtmartial.
1t is a matter of considerable relief
to the authorities here to show that
Spain has found it expedient TO comply
with the demands of the United States
in regard to these men. For some time
past it has been considered one of the
most troublesome questions in dispute
between the two countries. 1t is. under
stood that this action will be a great
disappointment to Capt. Gen. Weyler
and other Spaniards, who were anxious
for the execution of the men as an ex-
ample for others engeged in filibuster-
ing, but 1t is hoped that time has
served to allay the bitter feeling which
existed in Spanish quarters when the
men were captured. 1t was. stated then
that Gen. Weyler would resign If the
Madrid authorities overruled the de-
cision of the drum head courtmartial,
which he approved,

will be reported to the mayor as the
representatives Of the city to the CEN
tennial.
A proposition to change the day of
meeting from Monday to Tuesday will
be voted upon after special notice to
the members of the chamber. Mr.. Peet
also spoke of the manner in which the
city had entertained the encampment,
after which there were adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions introduced by Condo
Hamlin:
That the thirtieth national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic was one of
the most successful in the history of that or
ganlzat1on, Its success being admittedly due
to the efficiency of the local management
That thanks are due the general committee.
ana that While every subcommittee acquitted
itself with credit, especial mention Is due to
the subcommittee ON transportation which
in the face of great opposition succeeded in
securing the desired rates and making the en-
campment possibility; to the subcommittee
on accommodations to whose work it is due
that the guests of the city were cared for so
thoroughly as to command admiration: to the
committee on decorations who did their work
so satisfactorily and to the committee on en-
tertainment.
That especial thanks are due to the ladies'
committees, which introduced into this en-
campment social features which are So admir-
able complement to the encampment that
they will undoubtedly be followed at succeed
ing meetings.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Another series of resolutions
setting forth that "the Minnesota
state fair, held during the week be-
ginning Aug. 81, was the most sue
cessful in the history of the state agri-
cultural society" and that the thanks
of the chamber are extended to the off,
GERS of the association for thoroughly
approaching the value Of the fair, to
show visitors from all sections of the
country the opportunities offered set
tiers in Minnesota, and in making this
exhibition, SO far as was permitted,

Remain for the State Board to
Equalize.
The state board of equalization is
practically through with the personal
list with the exception of the moneys
and credits of banks, bank stock and
kindred subjects.
These were made special order for
today, and in the meantime the board
has been considering the other items
on the list Of personal property with
the result that yesterday they finished
the consideration Of the last item,
viz, dogs. There was little diver
sion in the discussion, the work Of the
board on this item being purely rou-
tine, but today's session will be more
interesting as the board will have pres
ent a number of bankers who have ex-
pressed a desire to be heard before the
board acts finally on the valuations in
these items.
State Auditor Dunn yesterday COM
pleted an abstract of the personal
property valuations as submitted by
the county boards of equalization.
The abstract shows that the total
assessments, as returned by the as
SCISSORS for 1896, were Sc, 301 Jas less than
for 1895. but that the county boards
raised the assessment so that it was
but 81, ,654 less this year than for

to be certain. The result was a crowd

enthusiasm. Kilrain, although past the
age When men are thought in these
modern times to be good fighters. has
been training hard, and every one
present felt that he would be able to
give good account of himself against
MS younger and stronger antagonist.
Inc event of the evening was called

Special to the Globe.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 4.-Hutch-
ison was a puzzle to the Detroit ag
gregation today. At no time could the
locals solve the mysteries of that fast
high ball, and, as the darkness grew,
SO did the effectiveness of the pitcher.
Now and then hit Would go safe,
and then the 1000 persons who
braved a threatening storm would yell
and make a great demonstration, but
it was soon lost in a despairing moan,
for no man who hit safely reached the
goal The only ones to tally were
those who received bases on balls from
Hutchinson, and when one notices that
he gave eight bases in all, his fine
pitching sticks out all the more be-
cause of the escant score. Meantime,
the Millers headed by big Perry Wer-
den, were scurrying the leather
through all the fields, touching up
Gayle for fourteen hits and earning
four runs. The fielding of the visitors
was fine, Kuehne making a seemingly
impossible catch of a foul at the
end of the grand stand. The two right
fielders were the other stars. Detroit
had two on bases but could not score
in the first inning. The Millers, how
ever broke the ice with a pair Pres
tons hit, Lally's sacrifice and Wilmot's
hit accounted for the first one, and a
hit by Wereden and Stallings' error let
Wilmot over. In the third, Werden's
ny went over Burnetts head for a
ihree-bagger, and he reached home on
Pickett's hit. A base on balls and
Stallings' triple gave Dertoit the first
run, and the next one came on a base
On balls and Gillen's two-bagger In
the eighth, when it was growing dark,
the bases were filled by two gifts and
a hit, and Hutchinson forced in the
tying run, but that was all Wilmot
wanted the game called, but Mcdonald
insisted on another half, and it started
by Werden laying the ball out for a
single, which became a three-bagger
through an error of Stallings. Gillen
threw Pickett's easy one wild, scor-
ing the run. Connors singled and
Pickett crossed the plate on Kuehne's
hit. on which Connors was caught
trying to make third. Hutchinson and
Preston singled, driving in another,
