THE MESSAGE.

The Presidsut's message il = disap-
pointnlent 20 the people The two prin-
eipal subjects discussed are finance and
the Calan question; bot in neither case
does be outline definite policy for the
government 70 pursue. The Spanish
government il criticized then patron
ized-:hs hair il rabhed CD. then
znOoihed down. The Cubans are sim
ilsrly treated, without committing the
administration TO any definite policy.
On the financial question the president
says that some reform is necessary. but
does not point out the way. He favors
The retirement Of the enbacks by re-
deefning them in gold and reissuiny
them only in exchange for gnlI. The
RESULT Of this would be that the green
blcks once redeemed would not Be re
issued and Spectators would force them
on the government in sHeb quantities
that interest barring bond issues would
be necessary 70 keep up the gold re-
serve. To meet this contingency the
president asks congress 10 enact a Law
authorizing the secretary Of the treas-
ury 70 issue long or short time interest
bearing bonds when lie considers il
necessary. Tie message is Published in

The st. Paul Bimetallic league held
its Second meett,ng last night, when
considerable ginger was sno7Tf1gn: And 1t
was all on accoun of the introduction
of a friendly resolution, too. 1t was
proposed to wave the olive branch a
bit, but when the meeting got through
with the resolution there was no need
of a branch.
The session opened at Union hall,
with the president, DR.. o. S. Pine. in
the chair.
Louis Nash, the chairman Of the COM
mittee, presented the report, which
adopts the constitution Of the national
organization, with slight amendments.
The report was taken up section by
section, and everything was running
smoothly until the third section was
reached. This section Of the bylaws
provides for the payment Of 25 cents
per month by the members to keep the
organization in running order, and
evoked considerable discussion.
The discussion was participated in by
Messrs. Lambert, Hawthorne, Hol-

large majority. The remaining Sec

HEAVILY LADEN STREET CARS
DASH MADLY INTO A SHADE
TREE.
THREE MEN ARE BADLY HURT
VERGED ON THE MIRACU-
LOUS.
PICK HANDLE ON THE TRACK
Was the Cause of q Wreck That
Might Easily Have Been Much
More Serious.


An electric car and trailer, while 60
ing at a rapid rate, jumped the track
at Fred and Burr streets shortly after
6 o'clock yesterday morning, dashing
into q shade tree by the edge of the
sidewalk and inJuring three passen-
gers, while fifty-one Others were badly
frightened and subjected to a rough
shaking up. After swapping the tree
like a straw two feet from the ground,
the car ran into a fence, tearing down
a portion Of it. The accident was cal1s-
ed by the car running over a. pick
handle, which was seen on the track
by h motorman too late to avoid
the accident. The injured were A. M.
Randolph, 968 Payne avenue back
wrenched and leg sprained; Gilbert Oh
son, 901 Payne avenue, face cut and
neck hurt; Charles Swanson, 72O Mag
nclia street, both legs badly jammed
and cut.
The train was the first over the In
coming track, and according to some
of the passengers, was running fast to
make up lost time. The motOrman, A.
Swanson, saw the pick handle on the
track, but as the car was on a slight
incline. could not slacken it's speed
before the wheels struck the obstruc-
ton. The motor leaped from the rails
and dragged the trailer after it. When
the car struck the tree the passengers
were damned against seats and rail-
ings with great force. Mr.. Randolph
occupied a front seat on the motor
and was thrown between the car and
the tree, managing, however, to keep
his body from going under the car by
hanging to the battered front railing.
The motOrman was thrown nearly over
the railing. Olson, who is a time keep
er in the employ of the park board, was
also on the front car. His head was
forced into violent collision with one
OF the roof supports, splitting open his
nose and Wrenching his neck. Swan
son was the most seriously hurt. He
was on a. front seat of the trailer, the
platform Of which was badly wrecked.
He was hurled forward when the crash
came n fell between the two cars.
In his position he was dragged several
feet, the couplings and bumpers cut
ting and crushing his legs about the
knees. DR.. o attended the injured
men. Olson proceeded to work, but
was forced to return home later in the
day, while Randolph and Swanson were
taken to their homes in carriages. None
Of the victims of the accident are con-
sidered to be dangerously hurt, though
SWanson's escape is regarded little
short of marvellous.

THE CHAMBER OFF COMMERCE.

COMES NECESSARY.

Almost the Required Number of
Signatures Have Been Received

The chamber Of commerce has set the
seal of its approval on the plan for the
appointment of a charter commission
by the district court judges, and this,
too, in the face of a small but vigorous
opposition from several members of the
chamber.
The Langford resolution, presented
before, setting forth hat 1t was not
expedient at this time to secure the
appointment Of a commission to draw
up a new charter, was turned down
In effect, as the Peet amendment pro-
viding that the chamber believed it
was e%xpedient to try for a new char
ter was adopted, and the resolution
passed by a vote Of % ayes to 8 noes.
In spite of the fact that many Of
those members present had reasons for
not liking this or that provision of the
Sheehan amendment, a short talk by
Mr.. Lightner set the matter right be-
fore them, and resulted in the above
decisive vote, after the resolution had
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-22

been referred back to the chamber by
the municipal affairs committee. with
out Recommendations
Mr.. Lightner pointed out briefly, but
forcibiy, that if st. Paul neglected to
follow the example of the cities of Min
neapolis and Duluth in the matter Of
getting a new charter, she would later
find, when she needed changes and i'm
prOvements, hat the aCquiescence of
both cities to a general law would be
necessary, and that the two places
named, having secured new charters,
might be loath to approve and help
on a law of this kind. He advocated
the plan of getting the commission ap-
pointed and that, too, without unnec-
essary delay.
Mr.. Lightner believed hat the Bell
charter was in many respects a good
one, especially as it prevented special
legislation: but, if no constitutional
questions were involved, he was Of the
opinion that the plan for the appoint
ment Of a charter commission was an
excellent one. The commission might
readily, he believed, work out a new
instrument along the line of the Bell
charter, incorporating such improve
ments or amendments as time has
shown the city needs.
Col. Clough thought hat the action
of the chamber would not have much
influence. Under the law, one-eighth
Of the people could nave their way
as against the opposition of the other
seven-eighths.
Gen. Sanborn declared hat st. Paul
now had the most extraordinary sys-
TEN on the North American continent.
Look at all the treasures of the va
rious boards and organizations. This
commission proposition was preposter-
JUS But, if the plan were preposterous,
he would favor it, because it might
finally bring the city out from the mo-
rass in which it had been wading.
Thomas Cochran thought that the
commission would work to preserve the
conservative and .presarvative, and
Messrs. Clough and Lightner would
make good men on it.
Mr.. Quinby thought hat all agreed
that the Bell charter was a good char
ter. We should not weaken the strong
position held under the charter.
N. P. Langford fell to discussing the
public schools. He thought they had
all the none they needed.
w. P. Murray-What do you want
What do you propose to gain by drop
ring the Bell charter?
Gen. Sanborn held an animated dia-
logue with Mr.. Murray. Said he: eve
want to cut down expenses to 500. 900
a month. Why should the city council
have the power to order $50 miles Of
wooden sidewalks? Look at the high
bridge and the Broadway bridge. We
want these powers taken away.
Mr.. Lightner referred to some of the
superf1uous boards with the power to
spend money. That was one of the
faults of the charter. }r
The chamber was clearly in favor OF
the commission, and the vote vas in
it's favor.

Columbia volunteers, and served under Col.
Greene until the close of the war. He then
accepted a position in the Freedmen's bureau
under Gen. O.. o. Howard, where he remained
until April, 1871. He then located in Panora
in his present business.
Mr.. Burns was the first city treasurer of
Panora, and is now Q8SD serving his fourth
term as mayor of that city. He is a member
of the Masonic fraternity and also of the
G.. A. r., and is now serving his third term
as president of the independent school dis
trict Of PanOra, and also as one Of the di-
rectors of the Panora Coal Prospecting COM
pany. The principal lumber yard in Panora
was opened in June, 1879, by Burns & Shaw,
who are still engaged in the same line Of
trade.
With this for a starter the attor-
neys have decided to build their attack
on the citizenship of Mr.. Burns. 1t is
understood they have written to New
York to ascertain if the records Of
births in New York show hat w. Fl.
Burns was born there Feb. IA, 1910.
If so, that settles it. If not, it will be
for the court to decide whether or not
he is a citizen of the United States.

Mr.. Burns said:
Il was born in New York city in

Door health compelled him to resign
his commission, and from Canada he

TELEPHONE FOLKS ANXIOUS.
New Company Wants to Get Into ST.
Paul Speedily.

Paul Speedily.
The assembly committee on streets held an
informal meeting last evening to discuss
the franchise to be granted TO the Missis-
sippi Valley Telephone company. The new
company was represented last night by g.. S.
G.. Collins and A.. H. Hazen, Who had ap-
peared before the council before in the in
tereSts of the company, and j. H. Beck, Sec
rotary of the jobbers' union of this city.
Mr.. Beck stated to the committee that a
conference had been held between st. Paul
and Minneapolis jObbers with reference to
the telephone franchise which was now being
applied for in Minneapolis by the same cont
pany. The idea was that it would be an
annoyance to the public to have a system in
only one of the Twin Cities. Mr.. Beck said
the present telephone service was about as
poor as it could be, and a change would
certainly be welcomed. He knew Mr.. Hub
birger, who was behind the present company,
and also knew that the gentleman was in q
position to carry out all he proposed to do.
Mr.. Beck favored competition in the tele-
phone business.
The ordinance, or rather a copy of the Or
dinance and franchise, which is to be granted
to the company in Minneapolis. was read
section by section and discussed by the COM
mittee. After this had been done, it was re-
ferred to a subcommittee, consisting of As
semblymen Thompson and Albrecht, and these
two gentlemen, with the assistance of the
corporation attorney, will prepare and submit
a franchise to the assembly at a special
meeting to be held at an early date.
Mr.. Hazen explained to the committee thai
it was necessary to have action taken by the
st. Paul council as soon as possible, as the
franchise would probably be passed by the
Minneapolis council Friday night. The council
had insisted on a provision in the franchise
which required the company to deposit d GER
titled check of s. 900, and accept the fran
chise within ten days after its passage by
the council. This being the fact, Mr.. Hazen
said it was necessary that the company
should know whether it was to obtain a
franchise in St. Paul, as it would be unwise
to operate a system in Minneapolis unless
they could also have one in st. Paul.
The company agrees to give each subscriber
in the business district within two miles CT
the central exchange a telephone for $4o
per year, and in the residence district an
instrument at $50 per year. They also agree
to allow the city telephones at half the price
now paid, and will, after 1900 subscribers
have been secured, pay into the treasury )
per cent yearly on the gross earnings of more
than this number of phones. Mr.. Collins
stated that they would start out in st. Paul
with over 900 subscribers, and within a year
expected to have three times that number.

HER HEAD WAS CRUSHED.
Thema MaxfieId's Narrow Escape
From n Horrible Death.

Thema Maxfeld, a girl fourteen years old.
living with her parents at As Manitoba avenue,
narrowly escaped death at the Minnesota Shoe
eompany'S mandatory shortly before 6
O'Clock last evening. The girl is employed as
an operator on the fourth floor of the build
ing. She was leaning over the elevator shaft
after the car had descended, when the me-
chanically closing shaft guard doors closed
down upon her head. A scream from the girl
was undoubtedly all that saved her life,
as the elevator man almost instantly stopped
the car and the closing of the guards. The
girl was taken from her periious position
bleeding profusely from a large scalp wounS
extending across her head from ear to ear.
She was taken to the city hospital by her UNI
c.e, Joseph Maxfe.d, at 7 O'Clock last eyen>
ing. The hospital authorities found nc other
injuries except the scalp wound, and are of the
opinion that the girl is not dangerously hurt.
