Thereupon there was movement to
introduce the issue of last fall, which,
when put to a vote, was voted down

almost unanimous sentiment of the

no issue before the Democrats today

WANT A NEW wIGwAM.
Red Men of ST. Paul VIII Secure
Larger Quarters.

Three of the four local tribes of the
Improved Order of Red Men in st.
Paul sent committees to the Wigwam
at Ali Robert street last night to talk
over plans for the erection or securing
of a new big wigwam, where they
shall hold their pow-wows in the fut-
ure. The joint committee consisted of
A. E. Perry and j. H. Tregilgas, of
No. 2; F. j. Hebl and J. B. Thurston,
of No. 4, and J. F. Durker and Fred
Borges, of No 8. 1t was decided that
when the number of Red Men in this
city numbered nearly 900 there should
be an appropriate place in which to
meet, therefore it was deemed advisa-
BILE to arrange for series of enter
tainments, the proceeds of which.
with the support of the Commercial
club, should be devoted to this pur-
pose 1t will be ready for occupancy,
it is expected, not later than Feb. /.
The hall board was elected as follows:
A. E. Perry, president; J. H. Tregilgas,
secretary, and F. J. Hebl, treasurer.
1t was announced that Mr.. Hebl had
been named Great Chief of the Rec
ords for the state of Minnesota. Mo-
hawk tribe also held a meeting and
named committees to lock after a new
wigwam and attend to other matters.

HE MAKES BOOKS.
Literary King of johannesburg,
s. A., Visits st. Paul.

A very unique specimen of the genus
traveller spent several hours in st.
Paul yesterday in the person of Joe"
Lee, a well-bred, well-informed Eng
lishman, who, to use his own term, is
sweepstakes promoter" or what
would be called in this country a
bookmaker. Mr.. Lee, who allows that
resident Of johannesburg, in South
Africa, where he has a big establish
ment, employing a dozen or more men
and where books are made on the var
ious racing events which come off
there
There are four sweepstakes handi-
caps there annually. and at the con-
clusion of the one held in May he
started off on tour of the world. He
proceeded by steamer up the east coast
OF Africa, to Alden, then to Colombo,
and through the settlements Of Pc
nang and Singapore, to China and
Japan, where he spent a fortnight
each, and then to Vancouver, reaching
the latter place in time to make a
book on the fall race meeting, where
both trotting and running races were
held
He came through via the Northern
Pacific, stopping off a short time at
the Yellowstone and left last night for
ing heard that the races are over in
Chicago, he expressed the hope that he
might get a side fling at the talent in
New York, where he has never been.
Mr.. Lee explains that bookmaking
or promoting, has come to be a thor
orughly legitimate business in Johan-
nesburg, owing to the law which says
that all manner Of lottery must depend
on the result of races under official
supervision. He claims to have held
at one time no less than f100, 900
of public money for races in England
and elsewhere. He has followed his
calling in Australia, India, and in Eng
land, and speaks of only one instance
where. out of a field of twelve starters
a better named the horses correctly,
one, two, three. 1t was a Johannesburg
handicap, and man named Warren
called the turn and won f2,500, having
put up but ten shillings to do it. The
check paid to this man by his house
was exhibited in the window of one of
the local banks. To quote Mr.. Lee:
THE combination was picked and
paid This interesting traveller is
very English in appearance a quiet
talker, and would never be taken for
anything short of an ordinary trav-
eller
The length of his stay in Gotham,
will, he says, depend upon how much
sport he finds there. He is armed with
letters of credit at most of the big
cities in the East.

MAKES 1889 THE LIMIT.
AIdermanic Amendment to the Sclby
Electric Ordinance.

The board of aldermen committee on
streets decided yesterday afternoon,
bv a vote of four to three, to recon-
mend the passage of the ordinance di-
recting the street railway company to
change the Selby avenue cable into an
electric line. Before this was done,
the ordinance, as it came from the as
sembly, was amended by inserting
clause to the effect that the right to
use electricity as a motive power on
the Selby avenue line teremlnate
in 1899. Another amendment was also
incorporated requiring the company to
pave Third and Fourth streets, be-
tween it's tracks by Sept. 1, 1898.
The Thompson ordinance, providing
for a union depot loop, was recon-
mended for passage by a unanimous
vote.
The ordinance to convert the cable into
an electric line eceasiored any quantity of
talk. Since the assembly passed IT an amend
ment had been proposed by Aid. Bigetow Inn
iting the period of the franchise to fifty years
from the year 1889.
AID Sanborn moved that the ordinance be
recommended to pass. Aid. KaldunSki wanted
an amendment added in the shape Of an at
taehed clause o5liging the street railway
company to comply with the Broadway loop
ordinance passed in May last. The amend
ment was defeated by vote Of four to three,
AID. Shepard, Bell, Donahewer and San
born, outvoting Aid. Kaldunski Lindahl and
Kenny.
AID Kenny then offered the Bigelow
amendment. Aid. Sanbvrn said that the
adoption of that would defeat the object Of
the ordinance, as the street railway company
would not accept a measure curtailing
perpetual franchise to a period of fifty years.
But if it is sincerely desired" added Aid.
Sanborn, ''to PASS an ordinance converting
the cable into an electric line, and thus i'm
proving the service to Merriam Park, why
not amend this ordinance by adding a pro-
vision limiting the right of the company to
use electricity as a motive power until 1899
! that is to period of fifty years from 1882
This way out of the difficulty did not appeal
to Aid. Kenny or Lindahl Aid. Kenny in
sisted that the ordinance was nothing but a
street railway measure, designed to give. the
company exactly what it wanted. He even
expressed the opinion that cable system
was good enough, if properly managed. Yet,
he confessed, he would not vote for the or
dinance bad as it was if it was made to
carry the Broadway loop with it, In de-
nouncing the measure Aid Kenny declared
that if Passed it would sacrifice the inter-
ests of the rest of the city-the plebeians
east of Wabasha street-for the patrle1ans on
st. Anthony hill and out at Merriam Park.
AID Kenny declared openly that the infiu-
ence of st. Anthony hill caused the board
of equalization to reduce the assessed vaiu-
alton of the street railway company from
-. 500, Geo to 81, ,650. 900.
Aid Lindahl said that he was not welded
to the Broadway loop, and that he would
vote for the ordinance if it limited the fran
ehise to fifty years Otherwise he favored
appealing to the courts and compelling the
I. street railway company to come to terms.
Aid. Sanborn said that that course would
result in four or five years litigation In

BAD BOY, SHARP KNIFE.
EiOody Juvenile ARRAY in the
Eighth Ward.

In a fight at Edmund and Charles streets
last night. Joseph Sweckel a 15-year-old boy
living with his parents at 1910 Edmund street,
seriously stabbed Stock Blachowski, his an
tagonist, in the left groin, with a pocket
knife. The wounded youth was attended by
Dr. Bole and sent to the city hospital, while
his assailant was locked up at the Rondo
street station on the charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon Blachowski's wound is
a three-inch cash, but believed not to be
sufficiently deep to be dangerous.
Tie fight took place shortly before O'Clock
and appears to have been the result of a
boysh grudge. According to Sweckel, he
whipped companion in a fight last Sunday
and Wednesday thrashed another of the
same crowd, who had invaded his neighbor-
hood to avenge the Sunday affair for the van
quished youth This champion was also
thrashed and last night Sweckel says, Blach-
owski, who is II years old. undertook to
whip him. He says Blachowski is larger and
stronger than he is, and when he found
himself unable to cope with is antagonist
he defended himself with the knife Blach-
owsld lives with his parents near Gaultier
and Edmund streets.

Meeting.

There is some division of sentiment
among the members of the Junior Pio
heefs as to whether certain changes in
their constitution, which will effect the
perpetuity of the organization, should
be made or not, and the matter which
was discussed at some length last night
at their postponed meeting will be yot-
ed upon at the annual meeting next
month. AS the constitution stands now
Junior Pioneers must have been under
tWenty-one years of age in 1860. and
have enjoyed a thirty years residence
In the state. There is however, a class
membership by virtue of an amend
ment to the constitution made some
time ago, by which candidates NAV
become members after the thirty years
residence; dating from 1861 and up to
1870, although some of them may not
make application.
The present amendment is to do
away with the 1870 limit, and make
it perpetual, but this met with con-
siderable opposition last night in the
discussion.

TELEPHONE MEN HERE.
Trying 10 Get the Long Distance
Into ST. Paul.


Supt. C. D. Nj. Cole, of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
who, with his assistant, A. e. Crocker,
has been here for some days from New
York, is hopeful that in a short time
st. Paul will be on the long distance
line to New York and other large East
ern cities. These gentlemen, with
their local counsel, Senator 7. D. Shee-
han. have appeared before a sub-com-
mittee of the committee on streets OF
the city council, and have asked again
for franchise to connect the city with
the outside world, in conjunction with
the Northwestern Telephone exchange
In speaking of the matter to the
Globe, Supt. Cole explains that the
matter in his opinion was not 1mme-
diately granted by the city was that
it was not pushed, and seemed to have
been imperfectly understood by the
council. AS a matter of fact objec-
tions to granting the franchise were
made which appeared to be somewhat
unreasonable, and the matter was al
lowed to go by the board.
According to the official the line
which now connects Minneapolis would
have to be tapped a short distance
who superintends the construction
work of the long distance company
looked the ground over yesterday and
reports two plans of connecting the
city, either of which will necessitate
the erection of few, if any, new poles
except where it may be necessary to
replace the old ones Of the local tele-
phone company. Mr.. Cole is authority
for the statement that the members of
the committee before which he ap-
peared, as we'll as the people generally,
seem to be in favor of any action
which will result in placing st. Paul
where she ought to be in the list of
cities having the long distance con-
nectiOn.

CLAIMS AS TO TAXES.
State Must Make Them, Not Private
Parties.

Judge Otis denied the motion of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company yesterday in the district
court for an order requiring the as
signee of William Dawson to pay GER
tain real estate taxes. Petitioner at
tempted to fOreclose upon certain reat
estate for taxes for 1896, amounting to
over $4,000 and local assessments of
more than $400, claiming a right to
the order on the ground, among 9TH
ers, that the statute relating to as
signments required the assignee to
pay such taxes.
In it's decision the court admitted
that the law required the assignee to
pay realty taxes, but it held that the
state alone could raise the question,
and not the petitioner, in this case
Even in case of the states application,
if it were held that the assignee had
to pay such taxes, the court might de-
fer action until it should appear that
said payments could not be made
through tax sale. A third party
could not avail itself of the right of
the state to secure it's own ends. The
court did not think, however, under
the laws and practice of the state OF
Minnesota, that petitioner company
had made out case for such relief.
