OFFICIALS ARE IN SUSPENSE
WASHINGTON WAITING FOR
THE NAVAL BOARDS FINDING
Until 1t Is Received No Policy of a
Decisive Character Will Be Decid-
ed UpOn-It Is Now Expected
That the Courts Report VIII
Reach the Public About the Middle
of Next Week.

WASHINGTON, March. 1S.-The re-
port that the Vesuvius had been sight
ed early in the day coming through
the Virginia capes headed for Wash
ingtOn gave rive to a rumor that she
was bringing the report of the naval
board of inquiry to Washington. This,
however, could not be confirmed from
any official source.
At the navy department 1T was ad-
mitted that the Vesuvius was bound
for Washington, but it was explained
that she was coming merely for re-
pairs to her armament. and 1T was
denied that she had on board any
member of the naval board or that she
was carrying the report of that body.
The Vesuvius did not reach Wash
ington tonight, but it was reported at
the navy yard that she anchored off
the government proving grounds at In
dian Head about 8 o'clock, where she
was met by the big navy yard tug
Triton, which returned to the yard
about 9 D. m. 1t was denied that the
Triton brought any one from the
Vesuvius to Washington.
Secretary Long went to bed at 9
o'clock with strict orders not to be dis
turbed, and Assistant Secretary Of
State Day spent the evening at the
theater, stopping for few minutes
only at the White house, where he had
a talk with the president in the pres
ence of the other members of the fam
lily.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-An air
Of suspense was noticeable in the navy
department today, due to the approach
Of the time for the delivery Of the re-
port Of the court Of inquiry. 1t is not
known Just when the document will
fo Wo oh
in view Of the reports Of the determina-
ton of outside parties to obtain pos
session Of 1T before the department re-
ceiyes the report, the officials, If they
know, will not say how the papers are
to be brought to Washington.
All that is known definitely is that
the president has suggested that the
report be made as soon as possible and
in consequence it is expected to reach
this CITY in the course Of two or three
days.
The cabinet today talked over the
matter and the time stated was the
general opinion of the members when
they had heard all that Secretary Long
had to report on the subject.
There is an impression that Lieu
tenant Commander Mark will bring the
document, though it is within Admiral
Sicard's power to choose any officer.
A cabinet officer expressed the belief
that the report will require careful
consideration on the part of the presi-
dent and his cabinet before being given
to the public, which would seem to
postpone publication to some time
about the middle of next week, al
though nothing is certain on that point.
The new naval policy, embodied in
the creation Of another squadron to
rendezvous at Hampton Roads, was
also discussed at the cabinet meeting at
length today and received unanimous
approval.
Nothing Of special Importance was
developed at the cabinet meeting. AS
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-03-19

CLEVELAND, O., March 1S-Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Gage delivered an
address this evening before the cham
Der of commerce on the financial ques-
ton. This was in acceptance Of an in
vitation given Secretary Gage several
weeks ago by the chamber.
The secretary was met by the officers
of the chamber upon his arrival in the
city and escorted to the Hollenden. At
6 o'clock they had dinner together and
then proceeded to the chamber, which
was densely crowded with the leading
business men of the city. No one but
members were admitted.
After the address, the secretary was
entertained at the Union club. Sec
retary Cages address was in part as
follows:
Cages Address.
Most of us had cherished the hope
that the financial issues which have so
long vexed the country had been set
tied by the political decree Of 1896. Most
of US had believed that the peoples
voice having once been decisively ut
tered, those who represented that voice
would be left free to peaceably adjust
the financial policies Of the government
in a manner consistent with the war
rant they had received. Events and
conditions easily recognizable now go
to show that such is not the fact. One
branch of the national legislature, COM
paratively unaffected in it's personnel
by the election Of 1896, is evidently not
sympathetic to that reasonable and log
ical result. Of various political faiths,
the majority Of members In that body
have the power to obStruct perhaps
unite to defeat the last expression of
the popular will.
More than this, the evidences are
strong that the minority will force a
motion to reconsider, in 1900, the peo-
pies verdict of 1896. We must be ready
to vote again upon the main issue. We
need not fear its results. 1t is the
nature of truth, as 1t is of light, to
spread its benefcent rays. And the
virtue of our people, having successful
ly resisted the seductive proposal of
cheap-money advocates, of fiat propa-
gandists and Of revolutionary orators,
will not be overcome by stale appeals
to enter the path of infamy and ruin.
Nevertheless, the. onset of the coali-
ton between revolutionizing Democ-
racy, silver Republicanism and fiat
| teaching Populism will be pushed with
both vigor and zeal. Already the lead
ers are bringing their skirmishers into
| line for the congressional contests of

ERWIN BLOWS HIS WHISTLE
TRIED 1T ON THE SECOND
WARDERS SUCCESSFULLY

1t Sounded Like the MayOralty to
ipaI Corruption, Rings and So
FOrth-Says Men Who Were
Thieves Twenty Years Ago Are
Now AIdermen-Critfcis Courts
Every person occupying an official
position under the city government OF
St. Paul is expected to be ready to go
to Jail the day after William w. Erwin
is inducted into the mayoralty.
For if the Tall Pine is elected he will
undoubtedly keep the promise which he
made to the voters Of the Second ward
last evening to clean out the corruption
which he says exists in every depart
ment OF the city, and let ST. Paul enter
upon a period of purity in which only
Erwinites will be allowed to smell po-
litical patronage.
According to Mr.. Erwin the only men
who are to be trusted in ST. Paul are
the men who signed the petition last
week for his nomination for mayor as
a Democrat. AS his audience was COM
posed exclusively of those who had
signed or were going to sign the petit
ton, hts sentiment was received with
marked manifestations of approval.
Mr. Erwin launched his little mayor
atty boom in Luckers hall on Forest
street. The hall was well filled with
faithful followers of P. D. Scannell.
y Mr.. Scannell presided.
There were a number of SpecialtieS
introduced in the early part of the
meeting. Frank Kelly sang a song in
which the virtues of Mr.. Erwin were
set forth in a popular manner, and at
the close Mr.. Scannell called upon Mr.
Erwin to speak.
Mr.. Erwin who occupied an incon-
SpicuouS seat at the rear of the hall,
was prevailed upon to respond, and as
he made his way to the front he was
enthusiastically applauded by two rows
of loyal clacquerS. The others took the
hint and joined in the demonstration.
Mr.. Erwin opened his speech with
some feeling, reference to the late Will
liam Penn. He considered Mr.. Penn
the first man who appreciated the abil-
ity of the people to govern themselves
and the principles enunciated by Penn
were the same for which their fore
fathers fought in the war for indepen-
dence. He then came down to modern
times Said he, after a short disserta-
tion on self-government:
We are approaching municipal election
-one of the most important ever held in
tory of rule or misrule The personnel of
the parties that have misruled ought to
be carefully considered by each man whom
God has placed in charge of wife or chill
dren. See if there is way out from the
present unhappy condition of affairs.
For twenty years this city has been in the
power of terrible
This announcement was greeted with
cheers. Mr.. Erwin seemed surprised.
This ring never did and it never will ap-
peal to the people, he continued. They never
did have primaries on the square. They
used public power to strike down the men
who did stand up for the people Every
man knows that the ring is controlled by
William Dawson and Robert Smith. They

mas been the case at every cabinet
meeting during the last month. almost
the entire session was consumed in the
discussion of the Cuban situation. and
it can be stated on good authority that
no plan of action will be definitely de-
cided upon pending the arrival of the
report of the Maine investigation.
Every phase of the several questions
lnvo.ved is icing carefully and thought
fully considered, and it is believed that
very soon after the report is received
the president, possibly in conjunction
with congress, will announce a definite
policy. Until then, nothing of a deci-
sive character will be done or decided
upon.

LAW IN WYOMING.
A Story of the Early Days in the Sare.
Brush Country,

From the Denver Times
j. b. Adams, more famliarly known as
Joe Adams, the wel-known mining
broker, with offices in the Bank Block,
once lived and laughed In the great state
OF Wyoming. This was In the early days,
when there were tenderfeet besides those
brought on by corns, and Joe was an
energetic fellow, considerably wilder and
wiser than his folks in the east had any
idea of. One day he came near melting a
riot in the little town In which he lived
by prompting a Swede named Ole Kick
louderson to shoot a dog that belonged to
a saloonkeeper who bore the western nom
dc plume of Gig Plunkett.
AS a matter of fact 1t was necessary
to shoot the dog to save it's life. Like all
mountain dogs, it was hungry, and few
days before the trouble occurred had at
tempted to bite Ole and had lacerated the
lower extremities of his clothing to some
extent. Ole had no love for the dog from
that moment, but to his surprise it came
Lack again in the afternoon in search OF
feed. All it could find was rawhide lariat
rope braided or plated from strips of hide
OF course 1t began on this, but soon found
that the rope would not come in chunks
but must be taken as a whole. Hunger
forced the brute to accept the proposition
and 1t began the task OF eating, walking
up on the rope and swallowing. After it
had devoured about sixteen feet Of the
stun it found it fast to a picket pin firmly
driven in the ground Here was the rub
Ole saw the dogs predicament, and as an
act of mercy shot it.
Then it was that Joe enticed Plunkett
to have the Swede arrested for killing the
dog. The arrest was made, and in justice
court Ole told the story as above related
how the dog had attacked him, why he
shot it, and SO forth
"Then you shot him in self-defense, didn't
you, Mr. Kicklouderson?" inquired the
court.
No. Master Yudge, aye skal not tank
So" was the reply, after some little de-
liberation.
You say he attacked you and bit you?'
Yas, aye can show yo mae pants for
das."
And you shot him?'
"Yo bot yore botes."
We'll, then, you shot him in self-de-
fense?'
"No, das lie, Master Yudge, aye did not
do das"
well. here now-he bit you and you
shot him, didn't you?'
'Yas das TO lie.'
That's enough, then: you shot him in
self-defense."
mo aye cannaw say das; aye shoot hem
en- short ribs and hae yump te fence. Das
way var"
Joe had succeeded in having all the fun
he desired out of the trial. and after the
justice had been promised drink, Ole was
discharged.
