NINE CONVENTIONS.
The Present Week VIII Be Impor-
tant Politically.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-During the pres
ent week there will be held six Republican
and three Democratic conventions. Repub-
lican conventions will assemble in Connect
cut, Maryland, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia and Texas. In the last state, however
it is the boiling faction known as Lilly
Whites" which meets, the regular organiza-
ton having met a few weeks back. The
Democratic conventions will meet in Ala
bama. Michigan and Rhode Island.
The action of the five Republican conven-
ton (omitting Texas from consideration
is expected to have an important bear
ing on the canvass for the nomination. and
on the platform the party will adopt at ST..
Louis. Pennsylvania, Maryland and Con-
necticut will undoubtedly adopt sound-money
platforms. The only doubt is as to the at
titude Virginia and Tennessee Republicans
may take. The Democratic state convention
in Rhode Island will not attract much at
tention, but the deliverance of the Michigan
convention will be pertinent as showing the
drift Of Democratic sentiment in that neigh
borhood. If it pronounces for silver or is
equivocal In it's declaration, all doubt as to
the Chicago convention having the free silver
majority will be removed The Alabama con-
vention will be emphatically for free silver.
The Republican canvass begins this week
with almost exactly two-thirds of its delegates
elected. The present week will add from 100
to 120 to this number, and leave less than a
fourth Of the delegates to be elected. EX-
Gov. Mckinley appears to have a little more
than half the delegates now chosen.

Junot D. Buxton, cashier Of the Minneap-

some of Uncle Sans money has been the
subject of discussion for several days, was
arrested by the federal authorities about 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The full amount
of the shortage is 2,151.T. Buxton was ar
rested on complaint of James D. Wood, post
office inspector, and was taken into custody
by Capt T. j. Sheehan. deputy United States
marshal, near the postofice.
Buxton took his arrest very cody, and
eyinced no emotion when the complaint was
read to him. The complaint charges him
with fraudulently and unlawfully failing to
turn in to the government S2,151.T, revenues
of the Minneapolis postoffice. After some lit

Buxton asked that the case be continued
until April %, at o'clock in the afternoon,
at which time he will decide whether to
make a pleading or have the case taken to
the United States grand jury. Commissioner
Brown granted the motion, and the case was
continued. Bonds were secured during the
evening, amounting to $780, and Buxton
was released after being in the custody of
Deputy United States Marshal Sheehan about
two hours.

DISAGREES WITH POND.
Judge BeIden Renders Decision In
the American S. and l.. Case.

the American S. and l.. Case
The case of the state of Minnesota VS.. The
American Savings and Loan Association came
before the supreme court yesterday upon the
appeal by the association from the order of
Judge Belden, which gave the state the right
to enter and take possession of the funds.
Since the supreme court had the matter in
argument and the attorneys used Judge Bel
denis memorandum in the case, he saw no
reason for longer Withholding it, and yes
terday the judge filed the memorandum with
the clerk Of courts, where it now is The
decision is an exhaustive but concise one
and handles the association and other or
CARNATIONS of its ilk without gloves 1t
takes adverse views to Judge Pond in his
memorandum, which took forty-two pages in
the telling. 1t is about the strongest de-
cis1on ever handed down in the district court,
and is interesting from the fact that 1t deals
with that great puzzle, the Minnesota law
relating to insolvency and receiverships
Speaking Of the right of the state to in
terfere, the court says:
To deny the state the right to interpose
upon the ground that 1t has no interest In
the corporation or its MANAGEMENT would
be subversive Of one Of the soundest and
most wholesome principles of public policy.
as well as Of the fundamental doctrine that
corporate grants rest upon the implied condi-
ton that they shall be used to effectuate
their purpose, and withdraw when such use
ceases.
1t is said at the outstart that this is not
a corporation 'having the power to make
loans on Pledges" because its loans are
made to its members and of the communal
character Of the relations of its member
ship. This delusion is sufficiently disposed
OF by Judge Mitchell in analyzing this same
claim in Maudlin VS.. American Savings and
Loan Association. 65 N. W., 645.
1t is also claimed that this defendant can
not become insolvent or unable to pay its
debts" within the meaning of section II, be-
cause 1t owes no obligations other than to its
members. 1t may be conceded that 1t cannot
become insolvent within the strict technical
sense of that term, without relieving it from
its amenability to the provisions of that sec
ton. In the conduct Of it's business the state
is most deeply interested because of the expos
ure of the public and the want of exercise of
visitorial restraining power of its members.
1t is creature of the state creation and bene-
faction, and the state must stand sponsor for
It.
AS before stated as to the purpose Of chap
ter 10, the reason for this provision was to
protect the public against the exposure to loss
from dealing with unsound corporations. and
a corporation, whatever its character or the
nature of its business, whether its methods
bring the public into relation of member
ship or not that cannot return the funds it

THE SUPREME OFFICERS OF THE
A. p. A. ARE GATHERED AT
CINCINNATI.
AIMED AT Mr.. M'KINLEY.
WHAT IS BEING
DONE.
MIR. LINTON IS IN IT TO STAY.
He Will BE the Candidate of the Or
der at the Republican National
Convention.

CINCINNATI, O., April 20. Since last
Thursday there has been held here secret
meeting of the supreme officers and national
executive board of the A. P. A. Members
have not registered at the hotels; in fact,
many of them have stopped at boarding
houses. Among those present are Supreme
Secretary G. G.. Beatty, Chicago; Supreme
Treasurer M. l.. Ryan, Chicago; National
Executive Committeeman T. l.. Thompson,
of Omaha and many others. Officers from
Ohio and other states will arrive tomorrow
and Wednesday. The purpose is confessedly
political and hostile to Mckinley for presi-
dent. Secrecy will be removed in day or
two.
Judge L. II. Stevens, of St. Louis, chair
man of the national advisory committee, and
chairman of the propaganda and campaign
committee, issued circular today to correct
some "misstatements in the press the sub
stance of which is:
The hostility of the order to Mckinley it
not against the man, but against him for his
antipathy to the order, shown in his appoint
ments while governor. The order does not
oppose Mckinley in the personal interest of
any other candidate. 1t fights no mar be-
cause of his religion. The order made every
effort consistent with manhood to reach Nc
Kinley without success. Congressman Gros-
venor's denial that he refused to see the
A. P. AS committee. and that he virtually
insulted it, Is untrue.
All statements of Congressman Linton s
withdrawal from the candidacy at St. Louis
are unauthorized and were sent out by enc
mics of the A. P. A to defeat him. Mr.. Lin
ton is neither directing any movement for his
nomination at st. Louis. nor making per-
sonal effort in that direction. On the con-
trary, the A. P. A., recognizing him to be
their leader, and knowing him to be too good
an American to refuse to do what the pa
triotic citizens of the country request of him,
have taken him as their candidate before the
st. Louis convention.

PLEASURE AT HARRIET.
Park Board Arrnnges for a Cycle
Track, Etc.


The park commissioners commenced their
semi-monthly meetings for the summer yes
terday, and put in a fair days work. The
following petitions were presented and re-
ferred to the respective committees: petit
ton for the enlargement of the bath houses
at Lake Calhoun. petition from W. E..
Haskell and Theodore L. Hayes, who wish to
organize an amusement company of repre-
sentative citizens, with the view of present
Ing at Lake Calhoun series of novel enter
tainments. The petitioners wish for fran
chtse, extending over a period of years, as
they intend to build a track upon which
RACES can be held. They will also introduce
the horseless carriage and the water chute
An invitation to participate in the Memorial
day parade and exercises was accepted Three
different propositions from the Twin City
Rapid Transit company in regard to mat
tiers at Lake Harriet were presented. They
were also referred to the committee The fol-
lowing requests were granted: The Young
Ladies Camera club who wish to use the
parks for Photographic purposes; to Blind
Tom, who wishes to build a refreshment
stand at Minnehaha; this was granted with
the understanding that the privilege may be
recalled at any time. In regard to the petit
ton from Edward L. Hertogs, who asked for
the privilege Of running a bicycle track at
Lake Harriet, the committee thought it could
give better satisfaction by building one itself,
and decided accordingly. H. F. Taylor, who
wished to use the cave at the east end of the
Washington avenue bridge, for the purpose
of raising mushrooms. will have to grow
them somewhere else, as the board could not
grant him the privilege.
Commissioners Ridgway, Stoft and Woods
were appointed as committee to confer with
the aldermen of the Third, Fourth, Eighth
and Tenth wards with the view of devising a
plan of bringing Hennepin avenue, Lyndale
avenue and the streets around Loring park
back to the full control of the aldermen of
the named wards. The committee which has
the pavilion at Minnehaha under considera-
ton was given more time in which to re-
port.
The superintendent was given the follow
ing instructions: To lay stone sidewalks on
Lypdale avenue from Twenty-sixth to Twen-
ty-ninth, at the north end Of Van Cleve park
on Harmon place; to plant trees in Mime
heha park and on Tenth avenue and replace
dead ones; to commence work with a dredge
boat at Powder Horn lake; to gravel the
Godfrey road, from Minnehaha avenue to
the culvert; to deliver to each of the public
schools one elm tree for the Arbor day ex-
ercises. A motion to macadamize Lyndale
boulevard, from Twentieth to Twenty-sixth
avenues north, was referred. Commissioner
Ridgway was added to the committee on
shore rights and privileges for the ensuing
six months.

JOHANNA SMOKES.

Lighted a Cigarette, Pulled at 1T and
Looked at Herself in "a Glass.
New York Journal.
johanna, not satisfied with learning
TO write and drawing well enough to
nave her sketches published in the
newspapers, has taken to smoking
cigarettes. Yesterday was her first go
at them, and, unlike the majority Of
persons after their first smoke, she
was not sick.
Johanna figured extensively in the
Sunday papers, and during the visit Of
a party Of women from Boston she
thumbed over the papers and seemed,
according to her keeper, lust a little
stuck on herself"
Keeper Mckay retired to the rear
room in which he sleeps, leaving his
coat and vest and a pair Of cuffs on
the radiator, more than seven feet
from Johanna's cage. While he was
away he heard something fall. and
thought that his vest had fallen off
the radiator. Thinking of his watch
in the pocket, he ran into the room
and saw Johanna pulling the vest and
pair Of cuffs into her cage. She had
knocked them off the radiator with
her lasso. The watch had rolled under
the heating apparatus uninjured. Jo-
hanna, with vest and cuffs, retreated
to the rear OF the cage and after put
ting the cuffs on here ankles, COM
menced to search the pockets of the
vest. She made several attempts to put
on the garment. She put her head
through the armholes, and finally
throw it on the floor.
Mr.. Mckay coaxed her for several
minutes and she brought the vest to
him. 1t was no longer Of any use to
the keeper, and he held it open while
Johanna put her arms through the
places where they ought to go. Mr..
Mckay buttoned two buttons and Jo-
hanna unbuttoned them. He gave her
looking glass and she surveyed her
self with pride. The things in Mr.. Nc
Kay's pockets interested her. A box
of cigarettes was a good find. She
opened it and took out picture of
burlesque actress. One cigarette was
in the box, and Johanna handled it so
roughly that 1t was broken and crum-
bled away.
IF you are going to be a new wom-
an, Hanna, you will have to smoke"
said the keeper. He rolled her cigar

he, and the big ape stood up before the
bars. The cigarette was placed in her
mouth, and Mr.. Mckay handed her a.
lighted match. Without the slightest
hesitation Johanna lighted the cigar
cite. The smoke went up her nose.
She drew breath, and Johanna was
smoking. She took it out of her mouth.
turned it around in her big hand. and
put it back again, took another puff
and took 1t out. Keeper Mckay
danced with joy. "she'll talk in a
month";" he said. Johanna went to the
corner of the cage and surveyed her.
self in the glass. Looking in the glass
was a mistake. The cigarette was re-
versed and she put the lighted end in
her mouth. Mckay laughed at her,
and she threw the cigarette at him.
He coaxed her for the cuffs she had on
her feet, but she refused to give them
up. When Mckay left for dinner Jo-
hanna, with vest and cuffs on, was in
the corner, looking very mad. Mr.. Nc
Kay wore no cuffs to dinner, as Jo-
hanna was wearing his only pair of
cuff buttons.

OUT FOR RUSSELL.
He VIII Be Endorsed by the Massa-
chusetts Democrats.

BOSTON, April 20.-Preparations for the
Democratic state convention, which will be
held here tomorrow, have been practically
completed. Hon. John r. Thayer, of Wor-
cester, will be permanent chairman. The
withdrawal of eX-Gov. William e. Russell as
a candidate for delegate at large has brought
out several candidates, among whom are
James Donovan, chairman of the Democratic
city COMMITTEES; John B. Moran and ]. w.
Coughlin, of Fall River.
It is thought that the fight will be between
Donovan and Moran, and that Coughlin, who
is a personal friend of Donovan, may be in
duced to withdraw. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral impression today that the convention will
fndorse the presidential candidacy Of ex-Gov.
William E. Russell.

FATALITY IN A DULUTH FIRE.
Dock Laborer and a Fireman In
jured.

DULUTH, MIMI. April 20.-The Northern
Pacific new warehouse on Rice's Point 80
feet wide and 600 feet long, was totally des-
troyed by fire this afternoon. The blaze was
one Of the most magnificent ever seen at the
head Of the lake. The alarm was sounded
at 1870, but on account of the ice the tugs
were slow in getting to it, and there was no
room for the city fire department. The build
ing was in process Of construction and Just
ready for tarring the roof. The loss on 1t is
nearly 100000 and that on the dock on which
1t stands probably $4,000 more. John A.
Jeffrey, laborer, was fatally hurt, and one
fireman was badly injured in the fire. The
docks are still burning.
