FARGO, N. D., April 14.-Nearly all the del
egates from over the state have arrived, and
the city is alive with enthusiastic politicians,
who are more deeply interested In the state
convention tomorrow to elect delegates to st.
Louis than they have been in years over any
similar event. AS far as the presidential pref
erence is concerned. there will be no fight; it
will be Mckinley convention from start to
finish. A man who thought otherwise would
be foolish to open his mouth, even tonight, in
the Hobbies Of the hotels and upon the street.
The first fight in the convention will be in the
selection of a chairman. In all probability
Congressman NJ. N. Johnson will act in that
capacity. but the situation is such that at the
last moment new traps may be sprung which
will in all probability be the case. The fight
is between the Hansbrough faction and the
Lamoure faction. The Sixth district, where
it was thought that Hansbroughs strength
was the greatest, held its caucus this after
noon and unanimously decided to support
Benginheimer, Of Morton county as a delegate
to St. Louis. AS the delegates arrive tonight
it is apparent that the Hansbrough strength is
waning. The situation, however, is such that
1t is thought that either he or Jud Lamoure
will yield to certain conditions, and in this
event the convention tomorrow will be quiet
1t is one of the most enthusiastic crowds that
ever gathered for state convention in this
state, and everything is on the BOOM Senator
Hansbrough thinks that there will be no op-
position to his interests in the convention
He says that as far as the money question goes
he will abide by the vote of the national con-
vention; that the peoples voice shall rule in
this particular.

STATE SCHOOL BOARDS.
First Session of the New Organiza-
tiOn Held at NOrthfeId

Special to the Globe.
NORTHFIELD, MINI. April 14.-At the in
vitation of the school board of Mortified the
delegates from the several school boards of
Minnesota met in their first state convention
here today, under the name of the Associated
School Boards Of Minnesota. The convention
was permanently organized, and the first Of
fcers elected follows: President, w. A.
Hunt, Mortified; vice president, G. S. Spaud-
Ing, Alexandria,; secretary, Luther Jaeger,
Minneapolis; treasurer, j. W. Todd, Monte
video The addresses this afternoon were by
Inspector George B. Aitkin, of Minneapolis, on
High School Equipment" President M. T.
Gjertson, of Minneapolis, on School Sup
plies;" w. G. Crosby, of Duluth, on "Selec-
tion and Certifcation of Teachers" In con-
nection with the latter there was a hot de-
bate as to whether the superintendent or the
board should select the teachers. The super
intendent advocates advanced the best argu-
ments, but the majority of the convention
favored a selection by boards. At the even
ing session State Superintendent w. w. PEN
dergast spoke on ''Minnesota's Educational
SYSTEM Inspector George B. Aitkin, of Min
neapolis, on 1.-THE High School the Peoples

CATHOLICS WOULD ACCEPT.
Remedial Bill Would Settle the
Whole School Question.

OTTAWA, Ont. April 1.-THE house has
been sitting since yesterday, and will sit right
through to Thursday, at least, and probably
until Saturday night. But even then, it will
not reach the end of the remedial bill. Sir
Mackenzie Bowel has received the following
telegram from Montreal:
''In the name of the Catholic minority
which I represent officially, 1 ask the house
Of commons to pass the whole remedial act
as it is now amended. 1t will be satisfactory
to the Catholic minority, who will accept it
as final settlement of the whole school ques-
ton. Archbishop Langevin"
For the greater part Of the afternoon and
evening the remedial bill was laid aside, and
debate was sprung concerning certain resolu-
tions by ministerial associations and othey
bodies condemning the long sttings of the
house and the alleged cases of drunkenness
in the house. Sir Charles Tupper said there
were only two instances of drunkenness no.
ticed in the house recently, one per cent
of the whole membership. It was therefore
extravagant and unfair to characterize all
members of the house being connected
with orgies and drunken brawls.

SALTWATER, Mimi, April 14.-When log
ging was discontinued two weeks ago there
was little snow left in the logging regions,
and loggers feared that it would he hard to get
water enough for driving purposes, but con-
ditions have changed and some of the streams
are raging torrents. Three dams on upper Eau
Claire lakes went out Monday, and today one
of the dams on Groundhouse went out. AL
though the damage done is not great, loggers
will be seriously inconvenienced, and can do
nothing to repair the damaged works until the
water recedes. Other dams are said to be in
danger and cannot stand much more. Water
in the st. Croix is rising rapidly, and may
reach the high stage of two years ago.
ROYALTON, Minn. April 1.-THE Missis-
sippi river bridge west of here, built six years
ago, was swept away today. Platte river dam,
at this place, went out also. Pine Knoll dam
went out Saturday, McLean's dam, on Skunk
brock, Sunday and the mill dam at Two Rivers
yesterday. 1t is the biggest food in years.
The Mississippi bridge went out during the
morning, and the river is out Of the banks.
The water will drop very quickly, however, as
the st. Cloud jam has broken. There it has
fallen already.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, April 1.-THE situation
on the river at this point owing to the high
water is quite serious, and the city and the
Great Northern railroad are cooperating in
taking measures to protect the bridges. While
a dozen men were working on the ice in the
river, just above the dam, at o'clock this
morning, opening a channel for vent for the
big gorge that formed here, they had narrow
escape from being swept over the dam. A
sudden rise in the water broke up the ice,
which rushed toward the dam, forced on by
the jam, and the back water up river. All
had to make their way to shore over floating
cakes of ice and narrowly escaped with their
lives. No damage was done to bridges or
dam. The water Is still very high.
LITTLE FALLS Mimi, April 14-High wa
ter from rains and melting snow has washed
out several dams on the logging streams.
The dams on Swan river and Two rivers have
gone out The small streams contain more
water than for years.

DULUTH, Mimi, April 14.-A sheriff has

to dissolve the pastoral relations existing be-

deavored for more than a year to harmonize
the troubles existing, but without permanent
success. Mr.. Cleveland's protest contains
some very spicy language and a resolution
was passed stating that the presbytery did
not assent to the statements made.
