DAVE HILL BoLTED.
Five New York Legislators Will Not
Vote for Him.


ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 1S.-Three
Democratic senators and two assembly,
men tonight bolted the caucus called
Hill for United States senator Of those
who remained So voted for HILL 8 for
Wilbur F. Porter, of :Watertown, and
2 for Robert c. Titus of Buffalo. The
. who voted against Senator Hill in
the caucus will vote for him on the
ballot tomorrow.
After the caucus W-Gys called to order,
Senator Guy rose and said: Senator
Hill by his inactfon and policy of de-
lay In the recent campaign, contributed
more than any other single influence
to Democratic defeat To vote for Hill
under the circumstances would, in my
opinion, be to rebuke those who were
loyal; to reward the general who
avoided the conflict while condemning
those brave soldiers who unflinchingly
faced the foe.'
The senator's remarks created a de-
cided sensation, and when he finished
speaking, there was absolute silence
for considerable length Of time. Final
ly Senator Grady offered a resolution
instructing the secretary TO call the
roll Of the caucus, and as each member S
name was called. he was to rise in his
seat and name his choice for senator.
This was the signal for Senators Guy
and Coffey and Assemblyn1en Kane and
Zurn to retire frcm the caucus with
Senator McNulta. The resolutions of
Senator Grady were then adopted and
a roll call of the caucus was taken,
resulting as already stated. The an
nCuncement of the result OF the vote
was received with silence.

rian interests involved it seems expedient to
make the examinations and projects and
carry on the works through commission that
may be possessed with certain limited inter-
national functions.
Specifically, the matters which call for early
action may be epitomzed as follows:
That complete surveys and examinations be
made and all needful data to mature pro-
jects to be procured for controlling the level
Of Lake Erie and projecting the Niagara
ship canal; developing the Oswego-Oneda-
Mohawk route; developing the St. Lawrence
ChampIain route; improving the tidal Hud-
son river; improving intermediate channels
of the lakes.
That the collecting and reducing of exist
ing information, supplemented by reconnais-
sances and special Investigations, be con-
ttnued until the general questions have been
ment of the outflow of the several lakes and
a final determination of their levels shall
be undertaken. The complete surveys and in
vestigations, with measurements of the out
flow of several lakes and full investigation
of collateral questions will cost not less than
$6GO00O and require some years OF time.
Tc its recommendations the commission
adds: Il is possible that the measur ement
OF the outflow of the lakes and final levels
IAN be as we'll done through some other
agency and this item may be taken at
$2d0, 600, to be, expended through a series of
years, and this should be at once under
taken. Oh account of the prevailing low water
Of tee lake system, which cannot be ex-
pected to continue. S
The specific surveys and investigations are
In themselves estimated at $3.50, ,Ise2a and will
take two or three years. and Of this. aot
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-01-19

less than $150,0O0 should be appropriated the
first year, along with such additional sum
as may be required for measuring the out
now of the lakes, Of which $100,00 should
be made available during the first year.
The commission reports that the Canadian
commission appointed for the same purpose
has furnished much important information.
The document gives many statistics relating
to the traffic on the great lakes. 1t says
that the agricultural competition this country
has recently had to meet with India and
which is likely to be intensified, impel the
government to take steps to cheaper freights;
that the limit of reduction in railroad rates
rected to waterways. In referring to wheat,
the commission expresses fear of the conse-
quences of the increasing competition from
the Argentine Republic and Uruguay. The
rapid development of the American iron ore
business on the lakes indicates that, with
access to the ocean by a practical waterway,
we can control our domestic business and en-
ter into competition in any market of the
world.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 18.-The Popu-
list caucus tonight decided nothing.
Kyle yet leads, his vote shifting from
Il to "a. The Loucks vote is from II
to IA, and others about the same as
last night. Seventeen ballots were
taken UP to midnight. There was talk
in the caucus of cutting loose from all
the present candidates and picking up
a new man. but it did not develop into
anything.
In the senate today the capital re-
moval bill was killed by a vote of "a
to Is, four not voting. This settles It
for this session. No other business was
attempted in the senate. The house
voted to dismiss the contest case Of
Davis VS.. Halvorson, from Brookings
county. A resolution was introduced
asking congress for election Of United
States senators by popular vote, sew
eral railroad bills and a bill to compel
wheelmen to dismourt on the approach

WIFE AND LOVER HELD.
Death of Pikkarinen Proves to Have
Been Murder.


WADENA, Mimi, Jan. 18.-Sherif r.
win and County Attorney Wilson late
this afternoon returned from New York
Mills, and have in their custody Axel
A. I1ndrOss, aged nineteen, who mur-
dered the man Pikkarinen, found on
the railway tracks near here Saturday
morning, and Mary Pikkarinen, the
murdered mans wife.
Lindross coolly confesses to the mur-
der, and says Mrs. Pikkarinen hired
him to do it. He says he and the
other man we're riding on the Sblind
baggage Of Train No l Friday night:
that he had purposely gotten Pikkarf,
nen drunk, and that he pushed him off
the train, but he denies having killed
him. Wounds on the dead mans head,
however, show plainly that he was
dealt two severe blows on the head be-
fore he was thrown off,
Mrs. Pikkarinen refuses to say any
thing. This is the first murder ever
committed in this county.
The young man had been boarding
at Pikkarinen's home for some time
and had become infatuated with his
wife. The affection was reciprocated
and undoubtedly the wife and her lover
planned to make away whit the uasus-
pecting husband. Thursday the Young
fellow persuaded Ptkkarinen to go with
him to Staples in search of work The
two spent Friday in that village and
then concluded to return to New York
Mills. That was the last seen Of Pix
| karinen. It is now known that at I
I o'clock Saturday morning Iindross pur-
chased ticket at this point for New
York Mills. He said nothing about Pix
karinenS absence, and his friends COM
menced to get suspicious when they
heard the body of an unknown man
had been found at Wadena Saturday
night. They went to the home of the
dead man and found Mrs. Pikkarinen
and Lindross. The latter was arrested
and said that on the way from Staples,
Pikkarinen fell off the train and killed
himself

WATERWAY REPORT
Submitted to Congress With n Let
ter From Grover.

ter From Grover.
WASHINGTON, Jan 18.-The report
of the deep Waterways commission
was laid before the senate and house
of representatives today, with the fol-
lowing letter from the president:
transmit herewith the report of Messrs. ].
B. Angel, of Michigan, John E. Russell, of
Massachusetts,, and Lyman E. Cooley, of
illinois, who were appointed commissioners
under authority of law passed March g 1895,
to make inquiry and report after conference
with such similar commissioners as might
be appointed on behalf of Great Britain, or
the Dominion of Canada, concerning the
feasibility of the construction of such canals
as will enable vessels engaged in ocean COM
merce to pass between the great lakes and
the Atlantic ocean and the most convenient
location and probable cost of such canals
together with other facts and information in
said act, specified relating to the proper
construction and use The commissioners
have prosecuted the work assigned them with
great zeal and intelligence, resulting in the
collection of mass of information embodied
in their report, and its accompanying eX-
hibits, which is of great Importance and in
terest, as related to the project subjected to
their examination.
The advantages of direct and unbroken
water transportation of the products of our
Western states and territories from conven-
lent points of shipment to our seaboard
ports are plainly palpable. The report of the
commissioners contains, in my opinion, de-
monstration Of the feasibility of securing such
transportation, and gives ground for the an
ticipation that better and more uninterrupted
commerce through the plan suggested be-
tween the great West and foreign ports, with
the increase of national prosperity which
must follow in its train. will not long escape
American enterprise and activity.
1t will be observed that the report of the
commissioners, though as comprehensive as
the time and facilities at their disposal per-
mitted does not definitely deal with the
cost of the work they were called upon to
consider, and onlits some of the other details
related to it. Thus far they have labored
without compensation. and part of the small
sum appropriated for the payment of their
expenses still remains unexpended. / sug-
gest to congress the propriety of making
economical provision for such further prosecu-
ton of their work will more fully develop
the information necessary to a complete un-
derstanding Of this interesting and important
subject. Grover Cleveland.

GRAND JURY AFTER POACHERs.
Judge SearIe Charges for Thorough
Investigation.

Special to the Globe.
ST. CLOUD Mimi, Jan. 18.-The an
nUal term of the district court for Ben
ton county convened this morning.
Considerable interest was manifested in
the charge of Judge Searle to the grand
jury, iE which he called attention to
the recent violations Of the game laws
in the county. He referred to the par
ties recently arrested at Rices and who
were allowed to escape by the retiring
county attorney by paying a nominal
fine to a justice, instead Of being bound
over to the grand jury. Judge Searle
charged that the proceedings in the
justice court were no bar to an indict-
ment at the hands Of the grand jury.
Executive Agent S. F. Fullerton, of the
sta te game and fish commission, ap-
peared before the grand jury and tes-
titled as to the seizure of the game,
the fines on which amounted to up
wards of $4,000. 1t is believed that the
grand jury will bring indictments
against all the parties implicated in the
violations.

veloped that Allen ]. Wine alias Joe Miller,
who was found guilty by the jury Saturday
night after a trial lasting over ten days, is
in reality brother of the man who swim
died the Norwegians out Of money eighteen
months ago. On the trial there was great
divergence of opinion among witnesses as to
the identity of the prisoner. Miller refused to
go on the stand in his own behalf, as he
felt sure he would be acquitted, and did not
want to incriminate his brother. He is eight
years younger, shorter, and weighs less than
his brother, though otherwise they are nearly
Identical.
