" White Horses"

Where run your colts to pasture?
Where hide your mares to breed2
Mid bergs against the ice cap
or wove Sargossa weed;
by lightless reef and channel,
or crafty coastwise bars,
But most the deep-sea meadows
All purple to the stars.
Who holds the rein upon your
The latest gale let free.
What meat is in your managers
The glut of all the sea-
'Twixt tide and tides returning
Great store of newly dead
The. bones of those that faced us,
And the hearts of those that fed.
Afar, offshore and single,
Some stallion, rearing swift,
Neighs hungry for new fodder,
And calls us to the drift.
Then down the cloven ridges
Ten million hoofs unshod-
Break for the wild white horses
To seek their meat from Godl
Girth-deep in kissing water
Our furious vanguard strains
Through mist of mighty tramplings
Roll up the touchdown names
A hundred leagues to leeward,
Ere yet the deep hath stirred,
The groaning rollers carry
The coming of the herdl
Whose hand may grip your nostrils-.
Your forelock who may hold2
Fen they that use the breads with us,
The riders bred and bold,
That spy upon our matings,
That rope us whore we run
They know the wild white horses
From father unto son,
We breathe about their cradles,
We race their babes ashore,
We snuff against their thresholds,
We nuzzle at their door
BY day with stamping coursers,
by night in whinnying droves,
Creep up the wild white horses,
To call them from their loves.
And come they for your calling2
No wit of man may save.
Thet hear the wild white horses
Above their fathers grave;
And, kin of those we crippled
And sons of those we slew,
Spur down the Wild white riders
To lash the herds anew.
What service have We paid them,
Jealous steeds and strong2
Save we that throw their weaklings,
Is none dare work them wrong.
While thick around the homestead
Our gray-backed squadrons Craze
A guard behind their plunder,
And veil before their ways,
With march and countermarchings-
with press of wheeling hosts
Stray mob or bands mtattled-
We ring the chosen coasts;
And, careless of our clamor
That bids the stranger fly.
At peace within our pickets
The wild white riders lie
Trust ye the curdled bollows-
Trust ye the gathering wind
Trust ye the moaning groundswell-
Our herds are close behindl
To mill your foeman's armies
To bray his camps abroad
Trust ye the wild white horses,
The Horses of the Lordl

SENATE BREAKS ITS RECORD FOR
PROGRESS IN THE TARIFF
BILL.
SPIRITS LIGHTLY TOUCHED
RATES LARGELY FORMAL IN
IT'S CHARACTER.
ONE TEST VOTE TAKEN ON COTTON.
When the Republicans Had Shown
Their Strength They Were Given
Their Own Way.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE senate
made greater progress today on the
tariff bill than any previous day since
the debate opened Two entire sched-
ules covering twenty pages, were COM
pleted; namely, schedule H, on spirits.
wines and beverages, and schedule 1.
on manufactured cotton goods. This
prlngs the senate to the fax schedule.
with the important wool schedule
standing next. The portion of the bill
passed today is substantially the same
as that reported, all committee changes
being unimportant, while the opposi
ton amendments of Mr. Jones (Ark)
ana Mr.. Vest were Systematically re-
Jected by majOrities varying from five
to ten. Mr.. Allison secured the addi-
tion of a new paragraph to the cotton
schedule with view to compensating
the cotton manufacturers for the re-
cent action Of the senate in placing
raw cotton on the dutiable list
In paragraph 2S9, on motion Of Mr..
Allison, the house provision was re-
stored. The remaining paragraphs On
spirits 290 and 293, inclusive) were
agreed to as reported without opposi-
ton.
The wine paragraphs led to some dis
cussion. That on champagne and other
sparkling wines was agreed to as re-
ported. The committee paragraph on
still wines was perfected by striking
out the provision for an additional
duty of three cents on each bottle or
jug, and the substitution of a provi-
sion that the filled bottles or jugs shall
pay the same duty as if empty. Mr..
White (CalD presented statements from
representative wine men of California
criticising the senate paragraph on
wines as not affording sufficient pro-
lection. Mr.. White added his view
that these wines, brandies and similar
articles should be literally taxed on
the principle that they were articles of
luxury, although he would not make
the tax prohibitory
Mr.. Vest (Mo0 said the rates were
practically prohibitory. In effect it
compelled people to drink California
wine or else go without wine The
senate paragraph was then agreed to-
The paragraph on cherry juice, etc
(29S), was modified by the committee
to include the house provision con

Grand Jury Wanted His Reports for
That PurnOSe

In the report to be made soon by the grand
jury it is understood that among other things.
there will be strong condemnation of the
work of the public examiner. 1t has been
understood that this what the jury wanted
the governor for in order that they might
include him in that report.
The jury met again yesterday and went at
work upon the Jail cases with such celerity
that by noon all were disposed Of and other
matters were ready to be taken up in the
afternoon. During the morning DIR. H. N
Avery was called before the jury for a short
time. j. b. Bassett was In waiting having
been subpoenaed for some purpose of which
he was ignorant and M w. NASH formerly
one of the officials of the Irish American bank
was ready to be examined.
In the afternoon the case against A. H
Num- was taken up. Clerk of Courts Dickey
was called in, with the delinquent tax books
the pages Of which had been linked. Henry
Altnow, his deputy, and several other wit
nesses were called to testify in the matter
as to the various features of the case some
OF them as to the freshness of the ink when
the eraSures were discovered. and others to
show that Mr.. Num- had the book shortly
before the erasures were discovered.
The jury did not care to hear all the evil
dence secured by the county attorney in the
Nunn case the testimony of the clerks being
sufficient to find an Indictment. Mr.. Num-
has secured Victor Welch as his attorney, who
will have charge of the matter from this time
on. Following the Num- case the charge
against City Sealer Mosher came
up for examination. The jury also signed
and found several indictments which they
had discussed before the afternoon session.

minneapolis WOrkingmen Meet at
Bridge Square,

The city council will be petitioned tonight to
pause and consider the protest of upwards Of
100 of the workmen of the city who do not
look with favor upon the action of the council
in having the work on the proposed water
mains leading to the new reservoir, done by
contract labor This was decided upon at a
meeting of the unemployed at Bridge square
last evening. Speeches were made by William
T. Coe, representative of the Thirty-frst dis
trict in the state legislature, and Edward II.

somewhat more. At the conclusion Of the
meeting set Of resolutions, which had been
prepared, read and adopted. These reso-
lutions were addressed to the council, and in
their nature were protest against contract
labor.

is about to let contract for an immense
amount OF labor and water pipe and declares
that 1t is absolutely necessary that as much
as possible OF the money to be expended in
this connection be expended in Minneapolis
To this end the resolution declares that the
pipe and valve contracts should be let separ-
ately and that the work should be done under
the day system by some one who would guar
antee the employment Of Minneapolis labor
They further state that the total amount to he
expended is about $4,000 which at S150 a
day, would provide employment for $50 men
for $50 days, about six months not includ

June H. 1897. 3:45 p. m.
This is the note thai was handed in
to Judge Elliott in the afternoon yes
terday, after the jury in the case of
the state against c. E. Dickinson had
been out nearly twenty-four hours.
The court sent back word that they
could try it some more, and in an hour
afterward, the following note was
handed in, the writing having evil
dence of more temper than that on tbs
first:
Judge Elliott: If proper for me to do so,
will you kindly permit me- to come to your
room for moment?
&C. H. Petit, Foreman.
The deputy was instructed to inform
Mr.. Petit that he could not wait upon
the court, and must have any talk he
might want in open court with the
defendant present. Later, the members
Of the jury sent word to their fam
lilies that they would not be home until
the next day, and the court went to the
lake. Shortly before the court was
closed, Dickinson and Mr.. Noyes came
to the court house, feeling sure that
the jury stood ten for acquittal and
two for conviction. They were informed
that it was the general impression that
it was the other way, which seemed to
surprise him considerably.
"Who are the two?' he asked.
Being informed that one was c. H.
Petit, he replied that it was surely in
their favor, for Petit was surely
against them. This was partially
borne out by an assertion that the
wife of Juror Chick and himself had
belonged to q card club, and played
cards for some years with Dickinson
and his wife. Yet, with all these
strange features, it is the strong belief
that the jury is in the main for con-
viction, and this belief is shared by the
court.
1t had been the intention of Judge
Elliott to discharge the jury in the
afternoon, but when he found they
were so near together, he changed his
MIND. The jury is taking no ballots.
and indulging in little discussion. the
whole seeming to have resolved itself
into deadlock.

Bicycle Thief With Nerve.

A bicycle thief had his nerve with him
last evening, and as a result he today has in
his possession two good racing wheels. While
the United Wheelmen were having their
meeting Of the club house, 1923 Hennepin
avenue, somebody had walked up 20 the YER
anda and made away with wheels belonging
TO Frank H. Williams, president of the club
and A. Westerdahl. a member of the club.
Mr.. Williams wheel was a Dayton racer,
while Mr.. Westendahl's was a Stearns racer.
The latter would be easily recognizable as it
is with but one exception the only bicycle
OF the kind in the city. There were about
twenty other wheels near those stolen but
the thief had evidently taken his time in
choosing what he wanted.

BLOW MAY BE FATAL.
August johnson Knocked Senseless
without PrOVocatiOn.

In an encounter which occurred last even
ing on Washington avenue south, one August
Johnson received injuries which may result
in his death. The matter is considerably in
Volved in mystery as was the identity of the
assailant up to a late hour last night. The lat
ter, however, is under arrest at the South
police station, and although he refuses to give
his name and has not yet been identified for
certain, he is thought to be named Swanson.
The statements of bystanders corroborate the
admission Of the prisoner thai the lattef struck
the blow, but there is doubt as to the cause.
AS learned, Johnson was walking down Wash
ingtOn avenue in front of 1927 when met by
Swanson, and without even passage of words
the latter dealt Johnson heavy blow on the
chin. 1t knocked Johnson from his feet, and
he fell to the pavement, striking the back OF
his head. Being a heavy man, the force Of
the collision with the sidewalk telling.
He was taken up unconscious and removed to
the city hospital. Late last night he in
precarious condition. The physicians consid
cred him suffering from concusson of the
brain, but were uncertain as to its severity.

TREATY MAY GO OVER.
Opinion Is That 1t Cannot BE Rati-
fled This Session.


WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Davis, chairman Of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations, said today that
the committee would take up the Ha-
waiian treaty at it's next regular meet
ing, which will be held on Wednesday
of next week, but that no special meet
ing would be held for that purpose. He
said that the treaty would, in any
event, be held in committee a sufficient
length of time to permit all sides to be
heard, but that the time would be con-
trolled somewhat by the indications as
to whether the senate would consider
the treaty at the present session. On
this latter point the senator declined
to advance an opinion.
The impression is now prevalent in
the senate, even by the friends of Ha-
waiian annexation, that the treaty can
not be ratified at the present session,
If there is any such opposition as is
promised. The programme now is that
the treaty will be reported from the
committee, and that after the tariff bill
has passed, it will be called up. The
senate will be asked if a time for a
vote can be fixed, and upon the objec-
tions fixed by the opponents of the
treaty, it's friends will say they are
content to allow it to lie over until the
next session. One reason for not press
ing the treaty in the face of the op-
position is, that the sentiment which
may be only partially opposed to the
treaty will be crystalized, which is not
desirable. 1t is believed that senators
who are now undecided may become in
fluenced favorably after mature con-
sideration, and after finding out what
the drift of sentiment is in their states.
1t is we'll known that senators cannot
be held here after the tariff bill is
passed in the hot weather

Clearing Up the Calendar.

The jury cases of the civil calendar for
this term come to end today and there
will be general setting over of jury cases
not tried. Judge Johnson will still keep up
the grind on the court cases, in order to dis
pose Of them, but no other civil jury cases
will be tried unless it is found imperative.
The judges will make effort 20 clean up
the criminal calendar by running three Grim
tnal cases at a time, and it is thought that
by this manner Of procedure, it will be pos
sible to dispose if the criminal calendar of
Jail cases by July l, when the jury is to be
discharged for the summer. The Haugan
case will be the next to come up in order
and will probably go to Judge Jamison.

Fined Him just the Same.

Robert E. Fisher, charged with selling
liquor without a license at a Minnehaha
Falls stand, was fined $75 or so days in the
municipal court. Officers Lindqust and Nor
beck, the "spotters,' testified to having pur-
chased beverage known as ''Schlitz's Fizz''
at Fishers stand. Fisher admitted selling
the fzz and insisted that he sold it openly
the defense set up being that it was non
intoxicant. Expert testimony was introduced
TO show that there was but 1.94 per cent of al
cOhol in the fizz, and Conrad Birkhofer testi-
fed that it impossible for a person
to drink sufficient of the stuff to become
drunk. Judge Holt ruled that the presence
of alcohol in the fizz, no matter how small
a quantity, brought it under the head of
an intoxicating liquor and prevented its law
ful sale without a license.
