Ante-COnventiOn Race,
MINNEAPOLIS, July 3O.-In the To-
cal political field the Democrats are
now monopolizing attention as far as
city oiiIeeS- are, concerned. T. C. Hol-
brooks friends are working quietly
ana Systematically for his selection as
the mayoralty candidate, althougn
they say they will not go to the eX-
tent of opening headquarters and cir =
culatlng printed slips. The kid ele-
ment of the Democracy is in it's ele-
ment. They have a candidate in the
person OF James Gray, and they are
booming him after the fashion of
kids" They are making enough noise
about their campaign to brighten per-
son with weak nerves, but the astute
politicians Of the party are going
ahead quietly with plans to nominate
HolbroOk. No new Democratic candi-
dates for comptroller or treasurer have
appeared during the past week, and it
seems likely that some new men will
be picked up on the day of the con-
Vention, Aug. g.
The three Republican mayoralty can
didates are working hard, but in an
undemOnstrativef fashion, and it is hard
to say just how they stand. E. z.
Webster would appear the strongest,
and it is probable that he is doing the
most active and effective work. Mayor
Pratt is not far behind in public esti-
nation, although he is allowing all the
hustlIng to be done by his friends. A.
l. Croc!ler is at his headquarters each
day and has many elements Of strength
back of him.
Although the field of candidates for
the office of comptroller has enlarged
considerably since the announcement
was made that Wallace Nye would not
be a candidate for another term, there
is little doubt but that c. F. E. Peter
son is in the lead by a good margin.
c. a. Nimmocks. the veteran newspa-
per man, is finding considerable
strength in quarters where he least eX-
pected. OF the many new candidates,
it is probable that the most promising
is Joshua Rogers, who for ten years
past has served as the chief assistant
in the office of the comptroller. w. r.
futile, Lindsay Webb and G. A. Petri
are the others mentioned for the place.
The Republican contest for treasurer
lies between c. S. Hubert, the present
incumbent, and Frank E. Holton. a
young Republican of the North side.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 80. = Re-
ceivership proceedings were instituted
against the Wisconsin, Central Rail-
road company, the solvent interest
thus far, of the Wisconsin Central
lines, in the United States court TODAY
The proceeding is the direct result
of the existing differences between the
trustees, Edwin H. Abbot and John
Stewart. There is no difference how
ever, as to the insolvency of the com
pany, the dispute being as to the
method to be pursued, Mr.. Abbot wish
ing to have it brought in under the
original proceeding against the Wis
consin Central company, and he pro-
tested strongly, but Judge Seaman
finally concluded to allow the bill to be
filed, and requiring the parties to show
cause before Judge Jenkins, in Sep
TENDER, why receivers should not be
appointed. d. -.
The bill presents the bond issue of
July l, 1871, under which, there is now
outstanding. $3,675 900 of the first Sc
ries and $5,134, 500 Of the second series.
The first securities draw interest at S
per cent the second bearing interest
at rate not exceeding per cent and
payable only out Of the net earnings.
after the interest of the first series has
been paid, and after the sum Of $780,
600 per annum has been set aside for
permanent repairs.
The interest on $1,469, 500 has been
paid regularly from time to time, but
default has existed upon first series
bonds, amounting to $2,2O5, 500 since
July /, 1896, and no interest has ever
been paid upon the second series. The
prayer bill asserts that Mr.. Abbot was
asked to join in the suit, but he re-
fused. The prayer asks for the ap-
pointment of Howard Morris and Hen
ry F. Whitcomb as receivers with the
usual powers.

off the Newfoundland Coast
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. JOHNS. N F., May 3.-Heavy firing is reported to have been heard in the bay south of Trepassey before daybreak Sunday. This was distinct from the cannonading heard off Cape Race Saturday night.
 The telegraph operator at Trepassey reports concerning the mysterious can nonading off that port Saturday night as follows: About 10 o'clock Saturday night heavy firing could be distinctly heard in the bay south of Trepassey, lasting about fifteen minutes. The shots came very quickly after each other some being very loud and heavy, sufficient to cause the houses here to tremble. Others were short and sharp, as if from lighter pieces
 Another cannonading was heard be- fore daybreak on Sunday. This lasted about twenty minutes Crowds of peo- pie, aroused by the first reports, fiocked to the waters edge. The first impression was that some steamer in distress in the bay was firing rockets, but the discharges were too heavy and too rapid for that Then it was agreed that perhaps there was naval battle in progress.
 About 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon a number of TrepasSey people saw a large steamer in the offiing. They be- lieve it was a warsfip. It was two- masted, with two tunnels and high in the middle It was about eight miles off shore. going dead slow and bound west. For nearly an hour it was in sight.
 In Saturday nights cannonading from fifty to sixty shots were fired.
 The telegraph operator at Cape Race, which is fifteen miles east of Trepassey, confirms the report of the Trepassey operator as to the firing of guns be- tween 10 and Il o'clock Saturday night. He asserts that the firing was heard by both himself and his brother. The weather was not foggy at the time, but only hay and there was consequently no reason for the firing because of dan ger on that score. The operator said the firing lasted about ten minutes, and that the shots were different from and too heavy for explosive rockets.
 No wreckage could have drifted ashore since then. because the wind has been off the island, and no steam CTS are due from Sydney or Halifax be- fore tomorrow night, which would be likely to sight either of the combatants, if the firing was a battle.
