Congressman Frank Eddy, of the
Seventh district, was at the Windsor
yesterday. He left for Washington
last night at $40, but before going
talked few lines of politics to the
G o e. He expressed qualification an
the unanimous nomination given him
recently, and said he expects to be
elected without any trouble. Asked
as to who his opponents are likely to
be, the congressman said that the
Popullsts are talking Of Senator LomA

"How about Boen?" inquired the re-

There is this about Boen, though: He
is Populist from the ground up, and
In favor of all Populist doctrine, while
the other fellows went into the Pop.

the Republican party"
Mr.. Eddy rather conveyed the inn
preston that he felt relieved at the
idea that Boen is not to be his opl

Populists can nominate.

PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTIONS.
The SO-CaIled Combine Secured n
Majority of the Delegates.

PITTSBURG. Pa, March S1.-The Repub-
lican conventions held today in Allegheny
county to elect national and state delegates
were the hveliest for a long time. In the
Eighth legislative district the Quayites bolted
the agreement to make Mckinley first choice
and held separate convention which will
result in two sets Of delegates to the state
convention. In nearly every convention res
olutions were introduced denouncing Senator
Cameron for his free silver proclivities, and
pledging the delegates to the state conven.
tion to vote and work against his nomina-
tion as delegate at large to the national
convention. The result Of the day Is as fol.
lows: Delegates Twenty-second congressional
district, G. L. Magee and William Finn CMc-
Kinley) Twenty-third district, Col. w. A.
Stone and Robert McAfee (Quay). A special
convention of the Twenty-second congress-
ional district was held, at which the COM
bine candidates for congressman at large.
William E. Harrison, and delegate at large
to the national convention, H. P. Ford were
nominated. In the legislative district con-
ventions CT to elect the combine secured IT

SAVAGE IMMIGRANTS.
Italians Waiting to Be DepOrted
Caused q Riot at Ellis Island.


Caused q Riot at Ellis Island.
NEW YORK, March Sit was one contin-
uous round Of excitement today on Ellis
Island. Twice large body Of Italians, held
for deportation, made desperate attempts to
escape from their place of imprisonment and
but for the courage and alertness of the few
keepers and inspectors who had them in
charge, riot and bloodshed would have re-
suited. It was shortly after 10 o'clock when
the first outbreak occurred. There were 250
strengthening customers, mostly Italians,
shut inside the "to be deported" pen on the
second floor Of the main building. Suddenly
there was murmur among them. It in
creased to growl, and then a howl of def
ance and rage. Hundreds of sun-burned,
dirty hands tried to tear open the wire work
OF the pen. 1t began to bend. and in
moment more would have given way had not
the keepers rushed up and down outside,
pounding the protruding fingers.
DR.. Senner, early in the day, realized the
gravity of the situation. He telegraphed
to Washington that he must have more help.
The reply was favorable, and twenty more
men will be- at work tomorrow. 1t Is also
said on good authority that the commits
sioner requested Gen. Miles to hold small
detachment Of troops in readiness. Just when
all seemed peace the Arizona which takes
the immigrants from Ellis island to the
Battery, steamed in. AS the released i'm
migrants ran to board her, some of them
shouted to the throng Of detained" In
moment all was excitement again. A
fierce rush was made. Savage blows were
struck at the officials, and more than one
knife was drawn. The officials went at
the undisciplined mob ferceiy, and, after
a few minutes fighting, the little knot of
officers had the crowd subdued.

THE CANAL PROJECT.

MAJ. sears SenQS 10 the mouse his re-
port on the canal routes by which Col.
Kiefer hopes to have st. Paul con-
nected with Lake Superior He finds
but two routes at all feasible; one be-
perior, thence by the Brule and st.
Croix rivers to the Mississippi. The
other leaves the head Of the lake by
way of the st. Louis river and Sandy
lake to the Mississippi near St. Paul.
A barge canal on the former route
can be constructed for $7,OOO,OOO and
steamboat route for something over
$18,000,000, while similar canal by
way Of Sandy lake, eff feasible at ALL"
would cost $4,000, 900. This leaves the
St. Croix route the only one that
may be discussed, and the only one on
which it is worth while to expend fur
ther efforts
Could st. Paul have water communi-
cation with the lake, no one will ques-
ton its value; not only to this city,
but to the country into which 1t dis
tributes the merchandise concentrated
here. It would act, as water routes
everywhere do, as a check on COM
peting railway rates, to the manifest
them Of consumers. But, while the ad-
vantage Of a water route Is incontest-
able, there are some features worth
considering carefully. Lake vesselmen
are looking forward to 20-foot channels
and harbors, and the government is
projecting its plans to meet this de-
mand. The St. Croix canal contem-
plates depth Of seven feet. This
will compel transshipment Of all
freight coming in or going out. a.
costly affair except as to grain In
the matter Of coal, it may be doubted
If the cost Of transfer from vessel to
canal boat, from the latter to teams
or to coal yards or coal sacks on the
river. will not make the cost higher
than even the present unreasonable
charges by rail. To be Of fullest
value to our city. the canal should
have depth permitting vessel cargoes
to reach the city without breaking
bulk.
AS we understand the report, the
canal will terminate in the st. Croix
river, probably below Taylors Falls.
Vessels or canal boats would have to
descend the st. Croix to Prescott, and
come thence up the Mississippi to
reach our wharves. AS the depth Of
water in the river Is rarely over five
feet, and oftener and for longer less
than that, the channel Of the river Of
both the rivers in fact, would have to
be dredged out three or four feet to
let the boats move after leaving the
canal. This work evidently is not in
cluded in the estimates. If the canal
were built to the width and depth for
steamboats,, the question of towage
from the st. Croix around to the city
would be solved; but if the barge di-
mensions are taken, that additional
cost Of movement will have to be TAX
en- into account. Altogether it appears
that there are matters, when the prac-
tical part is reached, that will have to
receive more serious consideration
than the canal promoters have yet
given to them.

SUPERVISOR FIELD BLAMED

FOSHAY SPEAKS HIS MIND
He Does Not Think That the Move Is the

Field Informed Councilman n. p. Snyder That

Democrat-Pield Not In Town

Supervisor e. S. Field is responsible
for the proposed attempt at present be-
ing made to drag politics into the county
board of education, the details of which
were printed in yesterdays Herald.
Field Is out of the city and his version
of the facts as published cannot for the
time being be obtained but Of the truth
of the statements given publicity there
is no doubt
Superintendent James A. Foshay of
the city's school department yesterday
informed a Herald reporter that he had
been told by the county authorities to
name a man to succeed Professor Mil
lard, and that he had reluctantly done So
Il wanted Millard to succeed him
SELF" said Professor Foshay, because
he, in my opinion, is just the man for the
place, but was told point blank that no
Democrat was wanted. There is M poll
tics in our department and there should
be none in educational affairs anywhere.
The county board has, however, been
politically tainted from time immemor-
ial."
Councilman M. P. Snyder, who is a
neighbor and personal friend of Pro-
fessor Willard, interested himself in that
gentleman, and when he interviewed
Supervisor Field in M1llard's behalf he
was told without equivocation that the
head of the Spring street school could
not be reappointed because of his De-
mocracy
1t is strongly limited where the facts
are known that ]. s. Pitman of the city
board of education has been in a meas
ure, at least, responsible for the turning
down of Willard. The closest friends of
the latter, however, refuse to believe
this fact.

charged by some sneaking enemy with
having said that he did not wish the

because that would be the anniversary
Of the battle of Waterloo When this was
brought to the great mans attention
he at once, without stopping to think
for second, disposed of it in the follow

but what that would be a good day for
the nomination to be made. Whatever
may occur, it won't be the Waterloo of
the Republican party" There's cam
paign slogan" for you! Though l am
the Napoleon of my party and of protec-
ton, says the candidate, I am not a

to forget the other charge against the

fused to speak yesterday was President
