Washington, April 29-The question
of whether business was to be done by
tie Senate this week was raised By Mr.
Pettigrew, Silver Repu blican of South
DAKOTA. when the Senate met today.
MI. Pettigrew proposed that the Sen
ate direct conference ON the Indian ap-
preparation bill.
Mr.. Chandler, Republican of Now
Hampshire, however, gave notice that
he would object to any business being
done because there was general under
standing that none should be taken up
during the absence of many Senators in
New York to attend the ceremonies of
dedioating the Grant monument.
Other Senators protested that there
mad been no such agreement made.
Thereupon, Mr.. Quay, Republican OF
pennsylvania, suggested that before the
Indian bill was disposed of there should
be an Investigation of the leases of the
oil lands of the Seneca Indians Of New
YORK, remnrking that the Senate should
KNOW wnether the Indians were being
robbed OF valuable interests
A message from The President trans
mitting the report of the commission to
adjust the boundary line between the
United States and Mexico west of the Rio
Grande was rUnd.
Mr.. Quay then presented a resolu tion
calling upon the Secretary Of the Interior
for information as to whether the leases
of the Senecn oil land had been made in
the usual manner and whether there mad
been any corruption. 1t was agreed to
without debate.
During the presentation of memorials,
Mr.. Spooner, Republican of Wisconsin,
Offered one "from several thousand men
who work for wages In the lumber
regions of Wisconsin" asking for the
enactment of the lumber schedule of the
Dingley bill.
The Senate was quite deluged with
resolutions.
Mr.. Vest, Democrat of Missouri,
offered a resolution for comprehensive
inquiry by the commerce committee OF the
Senate into the causes of and medies
for the Mississippi foods and snid he
would call 1t up at the mex meeting of
tha Senate.
Mr. Pettigrew followed with a resolu-
tion calling OH the commissioner of labor
for Information as to the cost of produc-
ing one thousand feet (boerd mensure) OF
white pine lum ber, ths answer to in-i
olude the cost Of work in the woods and
in the mill, both In the United States
and Canada. This was adopted with the
addition of a question proposed by Mr..
FRYE, Republican of Maine, concerning
the cost of stumpsge.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Nor
gan, Democrat of Alabama, and adopted
requesting the Presid MT, if not in COM
patiahle with the public interests, to
transmit to the Senate all correspon-
dence with the consul general and
consuls in Cuba since the beginning of

Issued for the arrest of Oliver Cor

The Ducas street. police authorities
are looking for oliver Cornell, a young
man living with his parents ait No. 208
Robertson street, who is wanted on a
warrant sworn out by his brotber-in-
law, J. W. Smith, charging larceny
Mr.. Smith lives lat No 21O Robertson
street, next door to his relatives. Sum
day morning, hes claims, Cornell came
to his room while he slept and appro-
priated everything in sight in the
nature Of wearing apparel. The suit
Of clothes in which Mr.. Smith expect
ed to attend church was taken, as well
as an OvercOat, his underwear, and
other clothing. Then Mr.. Smith claims
his bTOther-in-laW went to his wood
and coal office on Washington street,
between Third and Fourth streets. and
appropriated several dollars more Of
his property, securing the key to the
place from the landlord by represent
ing that he had been commissioned by
Smith to open the office. Not content
with thus taking advantage Of his
sisters husband, Mr. Smith claims Cor
nell went around among his friends and
represented that he had been arrested
and was in need of $25 to pay for a
window which he had broken. Mr..
Smith friends are not the fair weather
kind who would see him languish in
Jail for the want of a trif1ing S25. and
accordingly, it is alleged, contributed
in various sums to make UP the amount
represented to be necessary by Cornell
The police have as yet been unable to
locate the young man, and it is thought
he has left the city. Cornell has but
recently finished a workhouse sentence.

SNOW ON THE STREETS.
City Engineer VIII Not Have 1t
Cleaned This Time.

The assembly committee on streets
and Mayor Doran held a meeting sew
c1al days ago, during which City En-
gipeer RundIvtt was mildly censured
for expanding 5000 in clearing the snow
fl ON streets on which the street rail-
way company operated cars. The COM
mittee, after finding fault for about
an hour, referred the matter of what
proportion Of the snow should be taken
care of by the street car company to
a subcommittee consisting of the may
or, Assem- blymen Reardon and Thomp-
son and the corporation.
The indications were last evening that
there would be quite fall of the beau
tiful, and City Engineer Rundlett was
te,ephOned to and asked as to what
he intended to do in the matter of
clearing snow from the streets. In
reply Mr.. Rundlett said there had been
nc meeting of the committee, so far
as he knew, and, until he was instruct
ed further, he would do nothing. AS
to any action in the matter by the
street car Company, Mr.. Rundlett said
he was not advised. He knew that he
would not lay himself open to censure
again by the mayor or the council, if
the snow was six feet deep in the
street

PRINTING EXPENSE CUT.
Commission VIII Only Print Annual
Reports on Approximations.

Some encouragement to taxpayers is
contained in the action Of the state
printing and binding commission yes
terday in deciding not to print any
more annual reports of state depart
ments until the Legislature shall make
an appropriation to defray the eX-
penSe thereof. The question came up
in the consideration of a law passed
at the last session prov ing that the
state should print the ..%Jceedings Of
the annual meeting of the state educa-
tional association. The law did not
carry with it any provision for an APP
preparation to defray the expense, the
assumption evidently being that the
printing was fat enough already. This,
it developes, has not been the case, and
as a result, the commission has de-
termined not to publish the report as
required by the law.
The discussion on this question led
Auditor Dunn to move, and he was
seconded by Treasurer Koerner, that
there should be a cessation of this and
similar drains on the state printing
fund until such time as the legislature
should make an appropriation for the
purposes required.

JANITOR INQUIRE FIRED AGAIN.
Has the Misfortune to Be n Single
Man.

The joint court house and city hall
commission moves in a mysterious way
its wonders to perform. A special meet
ing of this potent cabal was called yes
terday to meet at the mayors Office at
5 p. M. All seven Of them were present
But before the meeting could be call
ed to order, a secret caucus of five men,
beers had to be held in the mayors
office. Commissioner McCarron, the
sole Democrat on the commission, and
Commissioner Daily, whose mugwum-
plan propensities barred him out, were
not invited to the preliminary caucus
The secret session lasted nearly half
an hour, and it began to look as If
matters Of great moment to the state
were under consideration. Incidentally
Commissioner Daily was sent for but
he quickly returned, not being in har-
mony with the decision of the caucus.
At last Mayor DOran, the chairman,
and Commissioners Lndahl, Keller
mann, Moritz and Dix eme- ged from the
private Office and the meeting was call
ed to order in the mayors parlor.
Then the nature Of the mighty bust
ness was disclosed by Commissioner
MOritZ, who offered a resolution call
ing for the discharge of Ben Mcclure
as a janitOr in the court house building,
and the appointment of Bias StephanuS
in his place. Mr.. Moritz explained that
Z Stephanus, who was recently let out,
was a married man with a family, that
he had recently been under a physi-
clans care, and that he needed the job
to maintain his family. Mcclure, on
the other hand, is a single man. The
resolution was then adopted by a vote
of to 2, Commissioners DAILY and Nc
Cdrron voting in the negative. Thus
has Mr.. Mcclure been removed, reap
pointed and re-removed since the be-
ginning Of the year.
Commissioner Kellermann offered a
resolution providing tt at from and after
date no employee CT the court house
shall be removed except upon the
recommendation of the custodian. and
then only for cause. This resolution
was referred to the committee on
grounds and buildings, consisting of
Messrs. Moritz, Dix and Daily.

WHITE BEAR GETS 1T.
Third of the EnteFial<e Series of
Yacht Races.

The nterlake yacht races will be sailed
this season at White Bear lake. This will be
the final of the original series. When these
regattas were arranged, it was agreed that the
events would be sailed in this wise: The
first would be sailed at White Bear, the
second at Minnetonka and the third season 8
event would be sailed decided by chance.
Chance gave it to White Bear lake.
The first year White Bear won the sloop
and lost the cat race. In the second summer
it just the reverse. Now the final trials
are to be sailed this summer, and the COM
mittees at a recent meeting tossed the coin
for location, with the result stated
The occasion was the meeting Of the sail
ing committees of the two clubs to act on
the sailing rules, agreed upon by the clubs
some time ago. These rules we're arranges so
that both clubs might sail under them and
as arranged were adopted by these committees,
the committees consisting Of William Peet
Jr.. Mr.. Long and Mr.. Hopkins, of the Min
netonka club, and Dr.. Welch, Mr.. Griggs
and Mr.. Drake. Of the White Bear club.
1t was decided also at that meeting that
this year, instead Of having only the 23-foot
sloop and cat races, there will be a special
no time allowance class, and thus the in
terest will be heightened.
