WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

While it is now conce led
by everybody that the silver
men will have II majority in
the Chicag convention which
will almost, il not quite
reach the two thirds necess-
ary to nominate, it is being
asserted in Washington with
much posltivness that con-
cessIons will be made for the
sake OF harmony to the sound
money democrats. The gen
F., eral impression seems to be

made at all, will he in The Sc

are few democrats who en-

erage democrat thinks the
prize is to big to he awarded
to the man who bolted the
republican convention with
: tears in his eyes, upon the
single issue OF silver, and who
is still in accord with that
party upon every other issue.
Some of the old-timers do
not hesitate 20 say that they
would rather be defeated un-

That the contest at Chicago

AN ENGLISH VIEW
OF Trade Conditions IN America as
They Exist


X. Dribbdan Watson, of London, said yester-
day to the G | o be at the Windsor hotel that
he was representing ih the states a large Eng
ish mandatory Of shgh-grade dress goods.
He had just returfied sffom San Francisco and
had visited the chief American cities.
Il find trade very good this year" said Mr..
Watson; much better than last year, even.
Certainly the hard times on this side do not
appear to have interfered with your imports,
so far as most English houses are concerned.
Perhaps one might say that you were import
ing more since you set aside the Mckinley
tariff, yet our line Of goods not manufac-
-tured here at all, and would have to be i'm
ported at any event The true explanation ap-
parently is that 4this is too great a country to
be seriously crippled by any commercial back
set, and that our increasing trade is in har-
mcny with the growing Importance of the
American market. But must say you know
If your people would settle upon some fixed
tariff policy and maintain 1t your foreign trade
would grow even more rapidly.
No, indeed, the London merchants never
looked on the recent war talk as a serious
matter They had no apprehension that war
woud ever take place. Oh, dear, no; they are
not troubled half much as one would i'm
agine about the currency question, for they
are entirely convinced that the Americans are
too good business men to ever let their coun-
try get upon a silver basis, like Mexico or
Japan. There isn't SO much confidence in
Germany's intentions. I know Of many in
stances in which the German trade was seri-
ously curtailed by the unfriendly action of

for the Dam. rr'
The assembly committee on streets, to-
gether with the city engineer and President
Wheelock, of the park board, drove out yes
terday afternoon to that portion of Summit
avenue which extends northerly along the
ty line. The committee visited the locality
in order to view that part of the avenue
which, it is proposed, the city shall vacate.
in order to escape condemnation proceedings
on the part of the United States government,
as the government is going to build dam
across the river. and also construct a lock.
Summit avenue is 200 feet wide in this vicin-
ity but there are only 100 feet available as
a driveway as the other half Of the street
consists of the slope extending from the
summit of the bluff to the foot of it. The
owners of the abutting property at the foot
of the bluff, who are, by virtue Of that fact,
the owners of the fee of the 100 feet of the
street comprising the slope, have asked the
council to vacate this portion of the avenue
for a distance of some 600 feet in order to
render condemnation proceedings on the part
Of the government unnecessary. They main
tain that the city's right of way over the slope
is of no value, as it is not available as a
street.
The committee viewed the land, but took no
action in the matter, as it was too late to con-
vene upon their return. A meeting will be
held prior to the regular meeting Of the as
sembly Thursday night, as the committee has
several other matters to dispose OF.

-ro, Emerson Mcmillan, OF New York, who is
now at the head of the st. Paul Gas COM
pany, in the place Of Crawford Livingston,
made his first appearance in this city yester-
day morning since the sale of Mr.. Living
ston's interest to the New York syndicate.
Mr.. Mcmillan came directly from Hot
Springs, Ark, whittier he had accompanied
an invalid daughter. He was not in po-
sition yesterday to say much as to the local
situation Of the gas company's affairs.
''I only just got here" he explained to a
G O reporter, "and. of course, 1 haven't
had time yet to look about. But we're going
to have meeting of the new directors here
tomorrow morning, and I've no doubt that
we will come to several decisions that will
interest ST. Paul. For one thing, we're pret-
ty certain to agree upon various improve
ments in our system. Now is the time to
begin work. The company is so well sat
isfied with the excellent condition in which
Mr.. Livingston has left its affairs, that it
will, l am sure, do its utmost to improve the
plant and afford the best possible service to
the community. Well also make several ex-
tensions, 1 think, where they seem to be
justified. and ST. Paul will have no reason
to regret that the gas company has changed
hands. Yes, I'll be here some time-a week
or longer" r-

Committee.
The ST. Paul Commons has taken up the
work of pushing the Pingree plan locally
this year, the committee which had 1t in
charge last year having surrendered it on
account of the pressure of other work. The
associated charities, at it's meeting yesterday,
recognized and indorsed the new promoters
by the following resolution:
Believing that the general plan for utiliz-
ing vacant lots, suggested by the Pin
gree plan, is a good one and that the work
last year undertaken by the committee for
the unemployed should be followed up this
season; therefore, be it resolved, by the
board of directors that, inasmuch as the
committee having the work in charge last
year feel unable to supervise 1t this season,
we heartily approve of and indorse their &C
ton in assigning the supervision of the
work to Messrs. Hanson & Robinson, Of
''St. Paul Commons
The old committee has issued the follow
ing:
To the Public During the spring of 1895
the committee for the unemployed secured
vacant lots to be cultivated by the unem-
ployed on modification of the Pingree plan.
The result of the experiment was, in part
that 118 families worked land and raised
products to the value of $1,1O0, and put to
profita account land and time that would
otherwise have been fruitless.
Many of these families, as we'll as Others
desire to cultivate lots this season, but the
committee is about to disband and it's Of
icers are not in position to supervise the
work. We, therefore, suggest and recon-
mend that this work be undertaken by ''The
st. Paul Commons" institution which
seeks in every way possible to help people
to help themselves.
We, furthermore, state that we have con-
fidence in the honesty and proper motives
of Messrs. j. NJ. Hanson and Grant Robin
son, managers Of the institution, and be-
speak for them the same courtesy we re-
ceved and the hearty cooperation of the lot
owners and all who may be able to assist in
carrying out their plans. Signed,

be plowed for him, and he will be given work
that he can do in payment.

particular attention was a letter from United
States Senator Nelson relative to records on

corning the Indian depredations upon the
occasion of the Sioux outbreak in 1862 Sen
ator Nelson's letter in answer to a re-
quest upon the part of the historical society
for information concerning the whereabouts
OF the records and the amount of matter they
contain. The testimony is regarded as cen
shutting an important chapter in the history
or Minnesota and the executive council is
deslrous OF securing copy of it for preser-
walton in the archives of the city. How to
secure copy is the question that is occupy
Ing the attention Of the council. 1t is hoped
that the matter may be so arranged that the
government will bear the expense Of copying
the records, which, 1t Is estimated, is likely
to amount to $1,000 or thereabouts, as there
is large amount of matter. No action was
taken last night.
During the month of March the society re-
ceived in the way of donations 36 books, III
pamphlets, a water color painting of George
Washington's coat of arms, and a lithograph

Assessor Seng Thinks a Field Man
Needs a Clear Brain.
Yesterday another squad of field men was
sent out by Assessor Seng to begin operations.
There are now at work sixty y-three In all. A
few have proved incompetent and had to be let
out, and probably few more changes will
have to be made. One of the men told to re-
port for duty yesterday showed up full of fire
water" 1t is needless to say that he did not
go to work. Mr.. Seng thinks sober man
will do we'll if he can do the work satisfac-
tcrily. If there are any who think man
could do it better when full of booze. the
assessor is in no mood to convince them TO
the contrary, further than to say that good.
sober men good enough Should the
weather clear up and continue good, the pres
ent force will undoubtedly be able to complete
the work in time.
Preparations are now under way for the
assessment of personal property in May The
held men employed in making the real estate
assessment will not be used for that but the
men who were engaged in the work of making
the personal property assessment last year
will be re-employed, as far as available.
