ne said was probably too far ahead for
the council to consider, but In his opin-
ION the only true solution was to have
the cars run down Second street to Sib-
ley and over that street to Fourth.
Fifth or Seventh. His plan was to
have elevated tracks built on Second
street from Robert around to Fourth
and Sibley. This he claimed would ger
the cars out Of the way Of traffic and
also give plenty Of room. He admitted
that his scheme was several years
ahead Of the city, but thought this
would be the final solution Of the
problem.
No one seemed to take kindly to this
proposition. SO Mr.. Thompson sug-
gested an Independent belt line for con-
sideration. This line was to run down
Fifth to Sibley to Third to Robert to
Seventh to Wabasha. With cars run
ming every three minutes on this belt
and connecting with all lines passing
all the principal hotels and the retail
district, MI. Thompson said, was
all that was needed. This second prop
osition was also something of a frost
and as by this time Aid. BigelOw and
DOnahOwer and Assemblymen Daily
and Krahmer had joined the party a
discussion followed as to why the as
sen1bly had failed to pass the Broad
way loop ordinance. The discussion
developed nothing new except Mr..
Kirke was advised to amend his Grand
avenue resolution in some way and
send it to the board of aldermen meet
ing this evening. Mr.. Thompson and
Mr. Craig stated that they did not
want to block legislation and imme-
diate1y after this declaration the Grand
avenue question was laid over for two
weeks.
The ordinance allowing the North
western Telephone company the right
to erect poles in alleys between Thomas
and Edmund and Dale and Mackubin
streets was recommended to pass. Mr..
Reardon said Assemblyman Mabon had
said it was all right and with this
stamp of approval the measure received
the sanction of the committee.

MAY NOT ELECT YET.
School Superintendency May b.
Left Open for u While,

1t Is probable that when the school
boards meets tomorrow. no decisive ac-
tlOn will be taken in regard to the
election Of a superintendent to succeed
Z. B. Gilbert, who recently resigned.
1t has been expected that the election
would occur tomorrow afternoon, but
SCme OF the members of the board de-
sire to investigate at greater length
some of the aspirants to the position,
and for that reason the election will
probably be deferred. A member of the
board, in conversation with a G O {
reporter yesterday, expressed the be-
lief that as soon as the members OF
the board had generally agreed upon
one man, special meeting for the cleo
tion would be called by President Alb
bott. This Is, of course, on the suppo-
sition that tOmorrows meeting will be
resultleSS as regards the superinten-
dency. 1t is the general sentiment Of
the board that the majority and min
Or1ty lines should not be closely drawn
in the board, and in view of recent
disturbances, the members of the board
are all anxious that some one should
be chosen who may have the hearty CO.
operation not of four, but Of all seven
members Of the board, condition that
might not exist should the election
follow a spirited contest ending in h
close vote.
One Of the latest, and apparently
the most promising candidates to fill
the vacancy, is Prof. Virgil. c. Curtis.
who was formerly superintendent Of
the schools at Saltwater and Winona
in this state. but who subsequently
went to New Haven, Conn. Two years
ago, Prof. Curtis refused to become a
candidate for reelection, and at that
time the position was offered to Super
intendent Gilbert, of this city, but de-
clined. Mr.. Curtis went abroad. re-
naming a year, but has now returned
and is q candidate for the superin-
tendency Of the St. Paul schools.

Exchange and Franklin streets that he

there were two men implicated in the
holdup. One OF the assailants ap.
preached Kellogg rapidly from the

thinks, that used the billy.
Mr.. Kellogg fell fiat on his back

BELT LINES AND LOOPS
Talked Over in Committee, but the
End In Far Off.

The assembly committee on streets
held session, yesterday afternoon. but
all that was done was to talk about
belt lines and loops. Messrs. Thonap-
son and Craig were the only two mem
bers present at the appointed hour, but
as soon as the resolution introduced by
AsssTnblyman Kirke relative to the
Grand avenue cars running to the
union depot was taken up the members
dropped in as IL by magic.
Mr. Craig said that it was useless to
talk about having a switch in front of
the union depot on Sibley street for the
Grand avenue cars to run as pro-
posed by the Kirke resolution. There
was not room for a loop without taking
some of the union depot property and
this could not be secured as the depot
people intended at no distant date to
build an addition on the ground.

For the eleven months Of the year

License Inspector Maloney thinks
the total receipts from this
source will not be greater than
S290,0O0, falling off OF about $4,000.
The receipts from liquor licenses for
the year 1897 promise to be much less

with the wholesale liquor business in
speaking Of the matter yesterday said
the action OF the council in refusing to

Philip Welch and John Oak, the
energetic Edgemont contractors and
builders, were in town on business Wed.
nesday. From them we learn that Il
party of forty eastern capitalists are
expected to arrive in Edgemont for the
purpose, it is reported, of making final
arrangements for the erection Of q
smelter of large capacity at the Mid
Republic city. The Union Hill mines,
which are owned by the gentlemen who
are backing the proposed smelter, have,
after a thorough and practical test,
proven to be much richer and the ore
beds much more extensive than the
most ~sanguine members ofthe company
anticipated. IF no financial upheaval is
brought about by the coming election !;
if the stability of our currency and the
maintenance of the nations honor and
credit are assured by the election of
Mckinley, then the proposed smelter
will in all probability be rapidly pushed
to completion. The practical assurance
of republican success has already
brought about a better feeling among
investors, and this visit Of eastern ca
pitalists to the Hills at this time, seek
ing profitable investments, is due largely
to this feeling Of confidence and securi-
ty. The gentlemen composing the
party will visit the northern Hills and
Hot Springs before returning to the
east.-Star.
