The next step in the plan adopted
by the delegation was to fix upon the
FOURTH, Fifth and Sixth wards as ona
district, the whole according to the
concededly reliable figures of FREDDY
Bryant. having a population of over
$4,000 souls. Here is where Schiffman
ana johns live, and they were hit

design to Pottgieser, and Senator Nio

anywhere you say. Well beat 'em
loot, morse and dragons, and well
turn in Republican majority for the
ticket, but you go on and tie rs nm

mixed with them, and there are 10000
Pops over there that ought to be in

Just then Representative Stanles
came in and Sehiffnan shouted. ..Says

Senator Sheehan declares that he
will fight the matter out this morning
on the floor of the senate, and unless
some one gets the soothing syrup re-
Ierred to above, there seems little rea-
son to doubt the promise.

Senator POttgieser figures that nv
combining the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
wards he can be restored. and his
friends figure that inasmuch as he

Senator Stevens figures that he has
inquired his next term, and Senator
Sheehan's, too, although the latter can

much, except that he thinks the Re-

To-Day there will be chances for
mighty fine fighting all along the
line, as the lacOnic Grant remarked
during one Of the decisive engagements
OF the Civil War.
Mower county had a grievance last
night scarcely less important to that
section than the Ramsey fight, but no
hnaI action was taken therein
Otter Tail county also has trouble.
The present bill has four representa-

Cole thinks so, and wants that plan
The Pops oppose this, and want ALI

good day or two more of work
Executive Agent Fullerton, Of the
state game and fish commission, whose
scalp was aimed at by one of the
amendments offered to the bill yester-
day, but defeated, was In conference
at the Windsor last night with f. r.
lie Clair, of the Baltimore Packing
company, and others supposed to be
opposed to the bill, and at the close OF
the conference, Mr.. LIE Clair disclaimed
any spirit Of antagonism to Senate
File AIS. which is the general bill. This
being the case, 1t is expected that il
will go through with a rush
Whether it was a complete surrender,
or whether Fullerton, for the game and
fish commission, agreed to recede from
the position taken by that body in
advocacy of a $25 license for pound
nets In inland lakes on the internation-
al boundary, remains to be seen. There
seems to be reason, however, for be-
lieving tina. such 10 the case.
