REFORM DEMOCRAT.
Maryland Has One as President of
It's Senate.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. both
branches of the legislature were organ
ICED today and the governors message
was read, after which an adjournment
until Tuesday was taken to allow the
list Of committees to be made up. The
slate fixed up at the caucus of the Re-
publican members last night went
through in the house, and ex-Congress-
man Sidney E. Mudd was safely landed
in the speakers chair. 1t was not so
with the Democratic nominee for pres
ident of the senate, however, for Senator
John Walter Smith, of Worchester, who
got all the votes at the Democratic SEN
atOrlal caucus, was unceremoniously
set aside at the last moment and Sen
ator w. Cabell Bruce, of Baltimore, was
elected in his stead. This is a crush
ing defeat for all the old-line politicians,
as Senator Bruce is looked upon as a
reformer of the first class and every
effort has been made by the regulars
within his party to prevent his election.

MONROE DOCTRINE.
DECLARATION FOR ARBITRATION
New York Legislature Refuses to
Adopt Revolutions Endorsing
Cleveland's Policy.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. Gov. Levi
P. Morton's second annual message
was submitted to the legislature on
the ,convening of that body today. In
it, after a brief historical survey, the
governor touched upon the pending
controversy between the United States
and Great Britain as follows:
1.-The doctrine formulated by President
Monroe, and which has since borne his name,
has become so well established in American
national policy that there is no room for
doubt as to the opinion of our people concern
ing it. New York now has population near
ly equal that of the entire Union when Mr..
Monroe became president, and our peculiar
geographical position, the location within our
borders of the American metropolis, and the
vast and complicated commercial interests
of our state justify our feeling and spirit con-
corning the present unhappy agitation. Any
disturbance Of the existing friendly relations
between the United States and Great Britain
Of the possible baneful consequences Of such
disturbance. l deem myself justified in max
ing this reference to the larger affairs Of the
nation in which we feel such peculiar and
vital interest. / cannot believe that the re-
lations between our country and Great Britain
will be ruptured or seriously impaired by
the misunderstanding now existing between
that country and Venezuela concerning the
proper location of the boundary line of their
possessions in South America. Arbitration af-
fords a simple. humane and honorable method
scarcely conceivable. at this period of the
worlds history, that any great nation is will
ing to take the responsibility of the needless
sacraice of human life and the wanton de-
struction of property which would be the in
eyitable result of an armed conflict
In the house Mr.. O'Grady Rep.)
offered a resolution that arbitration
should be resorted to in all interna-
tional disputes, and that every honora-
bic means should be resorted to to
avoid destruction of the amicable
relations between Great Britain and
the United States This was adopted
unanimously. In the senate resolutions
Of the same import were adopted after
an amendment indorsing President
Cleveland's policy had been defeat
ed by strict party vote. During the
debate on the amendment Senator Els
worth Rep) said there was no need to
insert an amendment Of that kind be-

HAIL FROM ALASKA,
Two Prominent Merchants From
juneau in the CITY.

F. w. Young and T. E. Burgess, of
Juneau, Alaska, stopped at the Nicollet
house last night, en- route for Chicago.
They are taking a winter business trip
during the dull season in the little
Alaska mining town, where Mr.. Young
has been for ten years. Mr.. Burgess
is more recent settler, and an old Min
neapolitan, having left here for the
coast seven years ago.
MeSSrS Young and Burgess have
abundant faith in the Alaska country
and in Juneau, which is now the largest
town in the territory, with a floating
population reaching about 1000 in the
summer, when mining operations are in
full blast
Juneau is growing every year." said
Mr.. Young, "and we expect a large in
lux OF people next summer. The gold
mines are turning out in fine shape
This summer $1,000,00O in gold was
shipped from Alaska, and a large share
of it came from the quartz mines about
Juneau, though the. placer mining on
the Yukon river is also profitable. The
quartz ranges a great deal in value, but
most Of 1T turns out in good paying
qualities. The fisheries, in which the
native Indians are principally engaged,
are also very profitable
The population of Juneau is very
shifting, for the reason that there is
very little to be done there in the win
ter. AT the close of the season the
miners usually take ship for Seattle
and spend the winter season about
Puget sound. We have two passenger
ana mail steamers now plying between
seattle and Juneau, and in the summer
get mail about every five days"
Minneapolis people will remember the
contest in the Episcopal general con-
vention last October over the appoint
ment of bishop for Alaska, which de-
Yeloped some very acrimonious debate.
ReV. Peter White, who was finally cleo
ted and consecrated, has been in :Juneau
for some time, and is making IL his
headquarters. He is an old Indian mis-
sionary and has a mission church all
ready in process of erection. The town
is already occupied by the Presbyter-
1ans, the Roman Catholics and the
Greek church

SOLDIERS FIGHT POLICE.
Bloody Conflict at a Dance in Con-
necticut.

Bloody Conflict at a Dance in Con-
necticut.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. IA bat
tie between soldiers and police occurred
in Saddler's big hall last night, in which
about thirty men were seriously injured.
The soldiers were finally defeated and
twenty locked up. Thousands of fac
tory hands danced the old year out and
the new year in. A raiding party went
to Saddler's hall where the Kosciusko
guards, military organization, were
holding a dance, to execute a warrant
for the seizure of beer. The soldiers
drew their sabres and drove the officers
from the hall. A reinforcement Of fiji
teen policemen was called and attempt
ed to enter the hall, but the guards beat
them back with their sabres. The po-
lice were cut and slashed and several
of them were seriously injured. The
captain of the Kosciusko guards is
hardly recognizable from the bumps and
cuts on his face from the policemen's
clubs. Every one of the prisoners bear
marks of the melee. They were spat-
tered with blood and their uniforms are
in shreds. The soldiers jumped on the
police and scratched their faces and
tore their hair out by handfuls. After
the fight five other halls were visited
and nearly 200 kegs of beer seized.

able for an adjustment of the difficulty. In
answer to questions, the men said they came
as employees of the company, but do not deny
their membership to the Amalgamated Asso-

The conditions were very favorable
to an exciting race when the ice boats
got away at 2 o'clock yesterday in the
Minnetonka regatta. There had been
a very stiff wind from the southeast
during the early part Of the day, but
it steadied down a little an hour or
two before the start was made. The
start was made from the flag in EX-
celsior Bay, opposite the Red Line
boat house, whence the course bore
away to the flag in front of Charles
Gibson's house and then to the flag
off Lake Park and back to Excelsior.
The race was twice around this course,
making a distance of twenty miles.
There were fourteen entries and their
crews and spectators made up quite
lively party. The boats and their
captains were as follows: Reindeer,
Theodore Wetmore; st. Nicholas, Eng
fish; Tempest, Ira Fuller; Irene, An
