TUG-oF-wAR CONTESTS.
Feature of Last Nights Sport at the
Carnival.

The tug-of-war pulls proved interest
1ngs features at the carnival last night
They were given as a result Of the
great interest manifested in the ones
of the night before. The Western I'm
ion and the Red Men teams made the
first pull. The two teams We're COM
posed as follows: Western Union-W.
Fl. Thoney, anchor; w. L. McMaron,
e. H. Harding, Edward Fitch, H. Pc
terson, William Peterson, William War
ner, Edwin Smith. Red Men-Fred W.
Hill, anchor; P. r. Barthol, J. P.
Thurston, j. T. Powers, Hermann
Miske, F. G. Wagner, William Cron-
quist.
The Western Union anchor made a
drop, while the Red Mems anchor sat
fiat upon the cleats 1T the start, and
by this means the former got an inch
and a half Of the rope. The team was
not strong enough to hold it, however,
and in less than thirty seconds thS
knot was at the mark. The Western
Unions made heroic efforts to regain,
but the rope slowly slipped away from
them, and when time was called the
Red Men had six inches the best of it,
Their work was done by one long,
steady pull, no heaving being done
If they had resorted to this method
they would doubtless have pulled their
were much superior in weight
They were by far the heaviest team
that pulled during either of the even
ings The second contest was much
more interesting than the first. Mem
bers of the FIambeau club participated
and were divided as follows:
Berrisford, anchor; Heffner, Lewis,
Stout. Pascal, Hennessy, Armstrong.
McLeer, anchor; Rooms, Simons, Ma
pier, Reaney Kefski, Smart.
The drop was dead, and for one min
ute and half the knot staid directly
over the line. Then by q succession OF
heaves Rerrisford's side got start and
ten seconds before time pulled their OPP
ponents completely off the cleats The
Sundkvist club was present and ready
to pull the Redmen. They claimed that
they had challenged that team and
that the challenge was accepted. The
Redmen, however refused to pull any
more and that ended the contest The
rest Of the evenings programme was
occupied by the Indians with dances.

MAY DROP BLACKBURN.
Democrats VIII Try and Unite on
Another Candidate.


FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 2s.-There
was no material change In the ballot
for senator today. except in the sound
money Democrats shifting to ex-Gov.
Ruckner in their complimentary vote
Tonight, however, there is much agita-
ton among the Democratic members
of the legislature and a break is an
ticipated on new lines. The sound
money Democrats insist that there are
those who were in the caucus who feel
that they have stood by Blackburn as
long as could reasonably be expected
and that they want another candidate
that can secure all the Democratic
votes and also the support of Populists
Poor and Burlington
Those who are leading In the agita-
ton for a break insist that Senator
Blackburn knows himself that he can
not get the support of the sound money
Democrats or of Representative Poor.
Those favoring a new candidate re-
gard ex-Gov James Y. Brown as the
most available. They say that he can
secure the solid vote Of the Demo-
coats If Blackburne will withdraw.
and that he can also get the vote of
both Poor and Darlington. AS Black
burn has the caucus nomination 1t is
conceded by the advocates of this new
departure that it will be impossible to
elect any Democrat unless Blackburn
Withdraws. He has not only the eau
Gus nomination, but friends in the
legislature who will stand by him as
long as he is in the fight. An effort
is to be made to get Senator Blackburn
to withdraw, and the result Of the con-
ference will be awaited with great
interest

tied to the Support of CoIored
Voters.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-In the
Republican state convention today,
when the Reed men nominated Gui-
chard for temporary chairman. the
mckinley men waged a personal war
fare upon him, making all sorts of
charges. Finally Guichard announced
that there was but one issue, and that
was Reed or Mckinley as the choice of
the convention. He said it was held
that Reed was the natural successor
OF Blaine, and was entitled to the col
ored support, as he was an outspoken
advocate Of the force bill, which means
free ballot and a fair count for the
negro in the South, while Mckinley
and Harrison had lodged the question
in the last Republican convention. The
Reed forces finally elected Guichard,
and proceeded to name the commit
tees.
The latter will not report until to-
morrow, and the convention will then
De permanently organized. AS soon as
the delegates are seated the battle for
supremacy will begin anew. The Nc
Kinley men will endeavor to secure an
ENDORSEMENT Of the ticket nominated by
republican sugar planters. which
would give the latter a right to claim
precedence for the Mckinley delega-
ton which it would send to st. Louis.
Morton's friends are also moving about
among the delegations tonight, and
some of the men who will try and
nave themselves named in the interest
or other candidates may be found Nor
ton men when the time comes.
The committee on credentials re-
% h.
and about $50 delegates will be report
ed against. 1t is now likely that there
will be two conventions, and conse-
quent confusion.

team, remained In st. Louis until yes
terday, when they, too, started for
home. Mr.. Gordon said the team was
well treated, and enjoyed the occasion
very much. The Boston club was rep
resented by i. M. Bouve, George w.
Morse, Walter H. Barney and c. H
Sprague. The contest was in reality
one between the East and West, for
the Boston club is the crack club of
the East. as that of st. Paul is of the
West.
The trophy is an elegant silver piece,
and was held for a long time by the
Hamilton Whist club, of Philadelphia,
but was won a short time ago by the
capital Bicycle club, of Washington
city. Then the Baltimores won it from
the Capitals, but, declining challenge
from the Boston club, had to surrender
it to the latter.
Inc game Of forty-eight hands was
divided into two sections one section
being played in the afternoon and the
other in the evening. The first game
lasted nearly four hours, the contest
ants being locked up in two rooms,
In which none but the umpire and scor-
er was permitted to enter Not a word
was spoken, and at times it took half
an hour to play a single hand. The
game was played at the Union club
and number of whist players wait
ed outside, eagerly watching for the
announcement of the result. Suddenly
a little rustic in the rooms told that
the first section of the game was over,
ana then came the information that
the st. Paul team had won by a score
OF IL to 8. The largest gain made in
any one hand was made by st. Paul,
gain OF with the same cards.
The evening game was no less in
terestlng, and resulted in a score of II
TO in favor Of ST. Paul, the Sanity
CITY boys therefore winning by a score
of 80 to II in all, as announced in Tues
days G b (Which, by the way, was
the only paper in st. Paul that had
the score correct.
The games were played according to
the Mitchell system of duplicate whict.
-Four players are assigned to a table.
which are denominated as north and
south, east and west players st. Paul
played north and south at one table
and east and west at the other. and as
the north player at one table holds
precisely the same cards as the north
player at the other. and so on with the
other players, it follows that if they
play with equal skill. one side cannot
make gain on the other.

MONEY FOR MORTON.
House Will Again Appropriate
Funds for Free Seeds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The house
committee on agriculture today finished
the bill making appropriations for the
support Of the agricultural department
for the fiscal year 1897. The total
amount carried by the bill is $3,15S.-
1872, as against s3,303,75O appropriated
for the present fiscal year The $780,
600 carried by last years bill for the
purchase and distribution of valuable
seeds, but which was unexpended by
Secretary Morton, is again appropri-
ated, the sentiment Of the committee
apparently being in favor of the con-
tinuation of the practice. There is an
unexpended balance of over a million
dollars that has accumulated from the
agricultural department appropriation
bills for some years past, and rather
than let this amount lapse and be re-
turned into the treasury the committee
will recommend that 1T be set aside as
a neuclus Of fund for the erection of
a new building for the department of
agriculture In this city.

McDaniels second and Rudd third.
McCulloch had such a good lead at
the finish that all the interest of first
place was taken out of the race. The
scramble for place, however, was live
ly, and not until the line was crossed
was it at all certain who would get
the second prize. McDaniels and Rudd
who had a race on the side in the
quarter-mile event, alternated in the
lead, but the fine squirt made by Nc
Daniels near the finish won him second
place. The time for the race was

races at Aurora park yesterday morn

The one-mile race was started with
these entries:
Jack McCulloch, Winnipeg; Louis
Johnson, Ed Pannell, John F. David
son, George Sudheimer, Frank McDan-
tels, Olaf Rudd and Thorwold Thomn-
son.
AT the start Pannell, Sudheimer and
Davidson went away in front with the
Canadian trailing in the rear and
skating easily. This is his customary
manner of racing. He does not make
an effort to get at the head until the
last lap, and all of his victories have
been gained in this way Those who
took the lead at the start held it until
the end of the half, when McDaniels
and Rudd came forward and battled
for the lead. McDaniels finally won
and held first place until the last lap.
when McCulloch came up. Rudd also
made good squirt before the finish,
and got in a close second. McDanieIs

and the distance were too hot and too
