MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 12.-William
Bryan came from st. Paul to her sister
city this afternoon, and Minneapolis
received him with enthusiasm. He
spoke 10 four big meetings tonight in
these places: Exposition hall, Bridge
square, on the banks of the Mississippi
river, just outside the hall; Lyceum
theater, to an audience of women, and
Yale place, a public square in the city.
Bryan rested in st. Paul all morn
ing. He stayed in his room at the
hotel Ryan until after luncheon, when
he held an informal reception in the
parlors. With Mrs. Bryan by his side
the candidate stood in q doorway and
smiled to the greetings of the hum
dreds of persons who filed past during
the course of an hour. Bryan having
expressed a preference to make the
journey between the twin cities by
trolley rather than in his private car,
a special car, elaborately decorated,
was engaged. Arrived here, second
reception was held in the West hotel,
and then r. and Mrs. Bryan were
driven to the hone of State Senator
S. B. Howard, where they took dinner.
During their absence the Veterans
Bryan Club, of Minneapolis, marched
to the hotel ami formed circle in the
spacious lobby. When he came out
they gave him royal reception, and
escorted him to the Exposition hall.

occupied. and there was a standing
army OF very many more lined around
the walls and choking the aisles. Out
side the hall the crowd was so great
that the services of squad of police
men were required to force an entrance
for Bryan when he arrived.

Willing to Let It Go.

A little Woodlawn miss not years OF
age has voluminous and variegated col
lection of dolls and has also developed a
genius for distributing her collection over
the floors of the fat and leaving it there
each night for her mother to gather up.
Not many days ago the mothers patience
was exhausted on this score, and as she
picked up half dozen dolls from the car
pet of the sitting room she said:
HNow, pet, if mamma finds these dollies
scattered about the floor again, she will
surely give them to the rag man."
Yesterday the little one was afflicted
with indigestion. She was silent and
downcast for half the day. Suddenly as
her eye fell upon the form of a doll stretch
ed upon the floor her face shone with the
light of a sudden inspiration. Running
to her mother she exclaimed:
Please, mamma, div pets tumut to

The Dupont Election Case Called
Up Wednesday.
The Republicans For and the
Democrats Against.
HOW ARE POPULISTS2
If Mr.. Depont Can Secure One
of Them
He Will Be Seated as Senator
This is Doubtful.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
has given notice of his intention to
call up the Dupont election case on
Wednesday,.
It is not expected the decision of the
Senate will be reached during the
present week and the result is as yet
very uncertain. The Republican side
of the Senate has been canvassed with
the result of ascertaining that there
will be solid Repu blican vote in sup
port of the proposition to seat Mr..
Dupont, but this is one short of ma
jority, and it is not yet known
whether this vote can be obtained.
1t is believed the entire Democratic
vote will be cast against Dupont. The
Republicans, therefore, rely entirely
upon securing at least part of the
Populist vote
The conspicuous feature of the
House proceedings this week will be
in connection with the Cuban resolu-
tion which the committee on foreign
affairs reported and which is now on
the calendar.
The fact that the Senate resolutions
were referred to the committee indi-
Gale that the majority prefer the
House to the Senate resolutions.
There has been some talk of making
the resolutions joint, instead of con-
current, in order that the president
may be forced to approve or reject
them, but there is no probability that
this change will be made.
The remainder of the week will be
occupied with appropriation bills.
The legislation which is under consid-
Grafton will consume two days, pos
siply more, and the postoffice bill will
probably take up the balance of the
week.
The Senate probably will pass the
agricultural appropriation bill early
n the week.

Me.a,s Mors valuable imam cold.

Gold is commonly considered the
most valuable of metals, because it is
the most precious of the metals pro-
dueed in sufficient quantity to be in
common use. There are, however, sew
eral rare metals that are much more
valuable than gold. Gallium, for ex-
ample, is quoted in the market at $4,000
an ounce avoirdupois. Traces of it oc-
cur in some zinc ores, tons of which
must be worked over in order to obtain
a trifiing quantity. Gallium is a very
remarkable substance. At the ordinary
summer temperature of sc degrees Fab
renheit it becomes liquid like mercury.
The latter becomes solid at 80 degrees
below zero. Most costly of all metals,
save only gallium, is germanium, which
is quoted at $1,125 an ounce. Rhodium
is worth $112.50 an ounce; ruthenium,
$50 an ounce; osmium, $26 an ounce,
and palladium, $24 an ounce. The last
is about equal in value to gold. These
metals are of no great commercial i'm
portance. Most of them are mere curl
osities of the laboratory, having been
discovered originally by accident, in
cidental to the analysis of ores. 1t has
been suggested that some of them
might be coined; but the supply of them
is too uncertain. Iridium is utilized to
some extent for making instruments
of delicacy which must have the prop
erty of not corroding. 1t is obtained
from ''iridosmin." a natural alloy of
iridium. osmium. rhodium, platinum,
and ruthenium. This extraordinary
mixture of rare metals is white.

KANSAS CRY, March 2.-Mr Frank P.
Ewins, proprietor of the Savoy, has gone
TO New York to confer with the owners
of the building, and to consider with
them the advisability of erecting an ad-
dition to the hotel on the vacant ground
between the west end of the building
and the corner of Central street
The hotels capacity now is about 100
rooms, but it is totally inadequate to the
business done, and the necessity for more
room is imperative. The addition, if
built, will correspond to the balance of
the hotel, and will contain two store
rooms on the ground floor, and about
forty rooms above.
