agitating the enterprise with commend
able zeal. The association has it's head
quarters IN Chicago, to which city the
membership is now largely confined.
1t was started there during the worlds
fan at the instigation of Mrs Potter
Palmer, who wished the stenographers
to be represented in the women's con-
gress as an organized body. For awhile
after the exposition closed the affairs
Of the Organization were almost forgot
ten, but the organization was revived
and made permanent one
At present there are only about 200
members, but Chicago alone has about
1900 stenograGhers, and there is a large
held from which to draw recruits Cof-

missed by the Prosecution for
Want of Proof.

| LONDON, Jan. 20.-The debate on the
address, in reply to the speech from the
throne, was resumed in the house of
commons today. Patrick O'Brien, the
Parnellite Whip, member of parliament
for Kilkenny City, moved an amend
ment to the effect that the time has
come for the cases of all the Irish poIit-
ical prisoners to be considered. He
appealed for amnesty for the few re-
naming in prison.
Timothy NJ Healey, anti-Parnellite,
member for North Louth, said that if
inquiry is made into the conspiracy and
plots in America, it will be found that
an English agent had had his nose in
every one of them. Mr. Healey also
expressed his belief that fifteen years
imprisonment was enough punishment
for the prisoners, and he added that
the siXtieth anniversary of the queens
reign was a good occasion to show
| clemency. Mr.. Healey attacked the
course followed by the former home
secretary, H. H. Asquith, in regard to
the political prisoners, rallied at police
plots and said that Supt Anderson
was paid 100000 yearly to promote such
plots. In the course of his remarks,
Mr.. Healey was repeatedly called to
order
The home secretary, Sir Matthew
White Ridley, replied, saying, that it
would be satisfactory to the govern
ment if they could remedy any Irish
grievance; but he added whatever the
motives of the political prisoners, they
were guilty of crimes abhorred by the
civilized world, and he was unable at
nrnSont advise a RI ORC nj
them amnesty Continuing, the home
secretary pointed out that in the with
drawal of the charge against Bell cd
ward J. Ivory the country has just
had proof of the fairness and impartial
ity Of the courts.
Sir Matthew White Ridley also said
covery of the conspiracy with which
Ivory was connected had saved the
public from a great disaster. He add
ed that should the health or sanity of
the political prisoners be affected, they
would be released. He did not desire
a repetition of the results which unfor-
tunately happened in the case Of DR..
Thomas Gallagher, explaining that he
first heard DR.. Gallagher was threat
ened with insanity at the end Of June
and that he acted Immediately.
| Mr.. Clancy in supporting Mr.
O'Brien's motion, referred to the case
of Edward J. Ivory, and said that the
most important crown witness was an
American informer whom the govern
| ment shrunk from putting in the box.
If they had done so, continued Mr..
Clancy, he felt certain that instead of
proving Ivory's guilt, it would have
shown the completely of government
officials in the alleged conspiracy. Mr..
O'Brien's amendment was defeated by
a vote of 204 to 1872
Mr.. Dillon moved an amendment
calling upon the government to intro
! duce comprehensive measures for the
relief of Irish husbandry, saying that

Two sad Cases the Record of the
Day in the Mill City-Minne-
apoIis Matters

There was nc regular session of the
Northwestern Lumhermen's association
yesterday. but meetings were held by
the branch associations in the after
noon and a combined meeting of the
Northwest and Northeastern Iowa and
South Dakota Retail Lumber associa-
tons were held in the morning.
The business of the morning meeting
consisted entirely of an exchange eff
opinions and a recount of the advan-
tages Of the local associations. The
adVisabNity of putting a man on the
read to- form new branches was dis
cussed and it was finally decided that
where local associations could afford
the money to take this step that it
should be done.
In the afternoon the Retail Lumber
mems Association Of Northwestern
Iowa met in the Lumber Exchange in
annual meeting. After the report Of
the president and secretary had been
read the election of officers was held,
resulting as follows: President, John
Foley, New Hampton vice president,
L. James. Charles City; secretary, c.
Webster WaucOma; treasurer, c. c.
Burgess, Cresco; directors, T. P. Ed
monds. Sumner; c. H. Edmonds, Iona;
G. H. Carpenter, Fredericksburg; H. c.
Burgess, CrescO; William Becker, Fort
Atkinson; G. F. Baker, DEBORAH.
The committee on subdivisions. made
their annual report, which was adopted
with slight notifications.
The question discussed at the joint
meeting as to whether a travelling
man should be employed to work
among the lumber dealers of Iowa in
the interests of further organizations
was discussed and finally laid over
until the subdivision plan should have
had an opportunity Of showing how it
would work
a motion made by G. H. Carpenter
that the association use all honorable
means to secure the election of A. r.
Frudden, as president Of the North
western association, was unanimously
adopted.
Those members who were not present
at the local branch meetings in the
afternoon paid a visit to the whole
salers' exhibit in the North Star build
ing, Third street and Third avenue
north, where the various concerns ell
gagged in the manufacture of lumber
had on exhibition the different grades
of lumber turned out by their mills.

MIME HAS NO CASH.
County Auditor Refuses to Turn
Over 100000.

There was a great scurrying about among
the Offices on the first floor of the court
" eliminated in the Office Of the county at
torney, and there was plenty of excitement.
The whole trouble arose over a visit Of
Ass istant City Treasurer Ankeny to County
Auditor Miner. The latter had completed a
settlement, in which the city Of Minneapolis
was entitled to have nearly 100000 as it's
the money to the city treasury. He called
upon Auditor Miner for a warrant the
county treasurer, but Mr.. Miner refused to
issue it until certain regulations and forms
were gone through with.
Il don't want to appear captlous," said
Mr.. Miner. Il am very friendly to Mr..
Haugan and yourself, and have no use for
holding this money in the city treasury, but
the law says that the town clerks, or, in this
case, the city clerk, shall provide the neces-
sary proofs that the city treasurer has quail
fed as such and has filed his bond and that
upon such a showing the county auditor shall
issue warrant for the amount due. Now, if
you will have your city clerk furnish me
could easily float. 1t is 200 miles long, and
1t was in vain that Mr.. Ankeny argued
with Mr.. Miner. He insisted that he had no
right to issue the warrant, and he could not
afford to lose 100000 from the little pile he
had boarded up for a rainy day. He must do
his duty. City Attorney Healy sent for,
and Mr.. Miner was invited to take trip with
them to the rooms of County Attorney Peter
son, on the second floor. Mr.. Miner waited
there until they had secured County Treasurer
Hastings, who. it turned out, in a
peculiar position. He had already advanced
the city treasurer quite amount of money
on the settlement. without the warrant from
the auditor, and if that was not forthcoming
matters would look peculiar until the war
rant was forthcoming
Mr.. Miner obdurate. and insisted on
protecting himself, in the face Of any advice
that might be given him by the county at
torney or others. Their advice, he said, did
not make them liable if he made a mistake
and he would not so upon it. If they wanted
to provide the authorization from the city
clerk, that Mr.. Haugan had qualified, and
was city treasurer, then he would freely give
over the warrant. for he would then be acting
in line with the instructions laid down by law
Until that time, he would not draw a warrant
unless an order Of the court took away all
liability from him
SO the city OF Minneapolis is without money
IN its purse, simply because there is no one
to whom it can be paid, legally. More will
probably happen in the same line today.

Wonders of BaaIbec.

Baalbec, or Baabek is the name given
ruined city lying in ancient Coelo-Syria, for
ty-five miles northwest of Damascus. There
is nothing particularly remarkable about
ruined city beng found in the locality men
toned, but the size of the blocks Of stone
used by the ancient builders Of this particular
city is something that has puzzled, the mod
ern engineers since the day when Baalbec
was first made the Mecca of the Oriental
traveller. There are immense stones on ev
cry side of the visitor to the ancient pile
OF ruins but the three MIST remarkable blocks
said to be the largest ever used in the
construction Of q building-are in wall back
Of the Temple of Baal. These immense stones
are respectively GA, SO and 62 feet in length,
and each is 10 feet in thickness but the most
wonderful thing in connection with them is
the fact that they are at a place in the wall
rs feet from the ground. How these i'm
mense blocks of granite were ever raised to
such a height is a question that has never
yet been answered-St. Louis Republic,

VACANCIES AT WEST POINT.
Military Spirit Seems to Be Failing
Of Among American Youth.

There are more cadets at West Point
today than ever before, yet there are
forty vacancies, says the Philadelphia
Times. Inc aGjutant general Of the
army comments on the falling off
during the past year Of the number Of
students at civil schools where mill
tary instruction is given by army Of
fcers detailed for that purpose. It is
current talk in educational circles that
there is marked decrease of interest
IN uniforms drilling and military or
gan1Za lions among the students in
schools primarily devoted to preparing
lads and young men for civil life.
On the other hand, there is a great
and constantly increasing desire
among the people of this country for
decorations. Buttons and other insig.
MIA are worn by half the people one
meets. Not only does this desire show
itself as an incident of the present po-
litical interest and excitement, but
every association, no matter for what
purpose, seems disposed to distinguish
itself by some kind of button, medal,
badge or ribbon. This is easily notice
able at Washington among the hum
dreds of excursions Of societies schools,
permanent organizations and clubs
that during the year go there to see
the capital of the nation.
1t would appear from this that the
military spirit of our people, that for
y
young men to voluntarily submit to
somewhat of the hardships Of military
education, is growing less as the pc
riod Of peace grows longer, while, at
the same time, fondness for display is
increasing.
But in truth there is a reason be-
meath all this for the falling off Of in
terest in military instruction in civil
schools. The pomp and circumstances
of war are very attractive. But our
youth have learned enough under tut
ton of regular army instructors to
discover that the work Of preparation
is extremely arduous and restrictive Of
other paths of pleasure and entertain
meIIt perhaps quite as profitable in the
walks Of life they are destined to fol-
low.
The fact, long recognized by other
nations, is now appearing to US that
in time of peace it is impossible to en-
| gage and retain the interest Of young
men still in their educational expert
ence in that constant, unremitttng
teaching, exercise, and, above all, disci-
pline essential to the attainment Of
even respectable standard of mill
tary instruction.

A Princess Who Skates.

Few women are more devoted to skating
than the Crown Princess of Roumania, and
few, indeed, skate better or more grace
fully. During the winter months her royal
highness may be seen almost daily on the
lake in Chisbmagin-the public park Of Buch-
Arrest. corner Of the great sheet Of Ice is
reserved for the royal party, but the young
princess by no means confines herself to this
little spot. Accompanied by the prince a
alone, she makes the tour Of the lake; rub
bling shoulders with the other skaters; laugh
ing merrily at the mishaps Of the awkward
and returning all salutes with the stately
little nod peculiar to her. Her skating cos
tune is short, sensible and very simply made.
To the crowds assembled on the bank her
graceful figure and good skating are a source
of much delight They never tire Of watch
ing her.--New York Tribune.

FINISH A FIASCO.
Police Unable to Convict Ivory, the
Alleged Dynamiter

LONDON, Jam. 20.-The crown prose-
uctOr today withdrew the charge of
conspiracy to cause a dynamite eXplo-
sion brought against Edward j. Ivory.
alias Bell, the saloon keeper of New
York, who was arrested in Glasgow in
September, and Justice Hawkins dis
charged the prisoner.
Shortly after the opening Of the pro-
ceedings today, the solicitor general,
r. B. Finlay, who prosecuted for the
crown, announced that he had definite
ly ascertained yesterday that the de-
livery of the explosives at Antwerp
occurred after Ivory left that place,
and that there was no legal evidence
that the prisoner was cognizant of
their delivery. Therefore, it had been
decided not to present evidence there
on.
Continuing, Mr.. Finlay said, in re-
gard to the other evidence against
Ivory, that, while he felt that the cor
respondence which had fallen into the
hands of the police, and the move
ments of Ivory permitted the gravest
suspicion, there was no evidence juSti-
flying the crown in asking for his con-
Viction.
After cOmplimenting the police upon
the intelligence shown in the discharge
Of difficult duty, Justice Hawkins di-
rected the jury to return verdict of
not guilty. Justice Hawkins, in con-
clusion, advised Ivory strongly to look
carefully at his future Ivory bowed
smilingly in return and left the dock
He was met in the body of the court
room by several friends, who shook
hands with him, and congratulated
him upon his release.
Ivory was heard to remark:
81 knew l should get out of it"
The collapse of the prosecution was
a complete surprise to all. Ivory,
after his discharge from custody, said
he had arrived at no decision as to his
future plans, when he returns to the
United States. The afternoon news
papers express disgust at the collapse
of the prosecution, and blame the po-
lice for it.
