RINGS WITH HARMONY
MEETING OF THE ST. PAUL RI
METALLIC UNION
Whole Tone of the Meeting sug-
gesfed a Union of Reform Forces
for the Coming City Campaign
Committee Appointed to- Try and
Get All Factions Together.

The bimetallic union discussed the
question of harmony and unity Of all
the reform forces for the coming cam
paign at it's meeting last evening.
The following resolution was intro
duced by ]. M. Hawthorne and adopted
without dissenting voice:
Resolved, by the Bimetalnc union, that
from each party, be appointed for the pur-
pose of using all honorable means to unite
all branches of the reform forces and there
by insure success at the coming municipal
election.
In support of his resolution Mr.. HaW-
thorne Said
L feel that the ambition of any man
or set OF men must take second place
to the success of the whole people. No
cause ever had any success which did
not recognize it's leader. 1 say and l
say 1t as a Republican that I feel
among those born of woman, greater
has not arisen for the eInanciation of
man than William Jennings Bryan.
I'm the coming campaign If for the
hope of pleasing 461 men we should
pull down the flag for which we fought
one year and a half ago, 1t would be a
mistake. Let us stand together and we
will win.
"As goes ST. Paul so goes the state.
and it is the duty Of every citizen in
stand together and if possible unite all
the factions
H. Paradis as Populist objected to
the gold Democrats being taken in the
conference. Some crooked work was
being done or had been done and the
Populists, while favoring an alliance,
wanted an honorable one
r. N Hare advised that a silver man
be nominated for mayor and then the
toto
Democrats could all unite and elect
him.
E. M. Card said: 1.-The Populists had
called convention for April 4, and no
sooner had this been done than the
Democrat-Ci Citizens announced one for
March 81. What was needed was to
harmonic and have only one ticket.
1.-THE silver Republicans were not
asking to fill up the ticket with men
for the offices, but that there be har-
mony and the reform forces win the
coming election"
T. D. O'Brien, who drifted into the
meeting from the Democratic associa-
ton meeting, said the idea to have a.
committee on harmony was an excel
lent one.
There is no legal Democratic COM
mittee," said he. "a rump convention
was held two years ago and an at
tempt made to appoint a city commit
tee. This organization had no legal
standing, and, In order to place candi-
dates legally before the people, the
Democratic Citizens party, which two
years ago cast 5000 votes for o. o.
Cullen, had called a meeting of its
committee.
1.-The chairman of the Democrat Cfti-
zens' party, Mr.. Michael had invited
the gold Democrats to attend the
meeting of the committee in order that
it might be perfectly legal. Mr.
Cutcheon, whose name had been men
toned, attended. acquiesced in the call
for the convention and had then said
he would not attend the convention.
"If in the coming election a candi-
date is nominated who will favor and
stand for the election of John Lind in
the fall and will give the city a good
administration, there is no reason why

Trouble in the College League.

1t is more than likely now that the West
ern Intercollegiate Base Ball league Will
never finish its first season, and may not
even begin 1t. The sudden reaction In the
compact, when everything seemed to be
plain sailing. came in the form OF an an
base ball with Wisconsin. because the Bad
gers had men ON their team who were not
simon-pure amateurs. In the list of Wis
consin candidates for the team, aver the
Ann Arbor people, eight men who have
received money at one time or another for
playing ball. Wisconsin knows Of the charge,
and the answer Is that only four Of the
men of whom complaint is made are in the
university, and that these four will have
little difficulty in clearing themselves when
the proper time comes.
Michigan will have to prove It's claim be-
fore 1t can expect to receive any support
from the other universities in the compact.
Should it do SO satisfactorily, Chicago and
Illinois will not hesitate to come out fiat
footed on her side. but otherwise they will
stand by Wisconsin and play the games
scheduled with It.

they will carry out this announcement,
which comes in the form Of a public guar
antee.
The announcement of the maintenance of
list prices will, without question, have great
influence on the spring trade, and will be
welcomed by the dealer and rider alike.
BY the dealer, because he will be relieved
of the fear of Generalization of the trade,
and can make his calculations on the basis
of balance on the right side of the ledger
at the end of the fiscal year.
By the cyclist, because he can purchase his
wheel in time for the early spring riding, the
most delightful of the year, serene In the
thought that he has nothing to gain by wait
ing until later in the season.
The weather has been unusually propitious
for an early cycling season. There has never
before been so much interest shown In the
wheel by riders and prospective riders, and
with the question of price cutting practically
eliminated 1898 bids fair to be banner year
in cycle history.

vows he will not play with the local

Manager Comiskey Is not worried

Ever on the alert for promising

Anita

HAVANA, March 14.-Consul General
Lee received the following telegram
this afternoon from Mr.. Walter b. Bar
ker, United States consul at Sagua la
Grande:
The wife of Senator Thurston died on
the Anita today. Shall give every atten-
lion and wire you from Boca.
Meagre advices say that Mrs. Thurs
ton died of apopleXy about o'clock this
morning, when the yacht was in sight
or port. The Anita left Matanzas last
night with all the congressional party
except Congressman Smith and Con-
gresham Cummings who went TO
Sagua by rail
The passage from Havana to MatanZ-
as was very rough and that to Sagua
even worse. 1t is thought that this
together with the rough passage down
the coast, may have fastened the end
but nothing definite is known here as
to the circumstances of Mrs. Thurston's
death or as to the time and place of the
funeral.
WASHINGTON, March IA Consul

partment Of the death today at Sagua
la Grande, Cuba, of the wife of Senator

OF Col. and Mrs. Luther Poland and a niece
of Luke P. Poland, of Vermont's greatest
statesmen Her maiden name was Martha L.
Poland.
She was born in Vermont a few wears less
than nifty years ago. and removed to this city
with her parents nearly thirty years ago. She
was married to Senator Thurston who was
then struggling lawyer, on Christmas day,
49, Mrs Thurston took great interest in
her husbands public welfare and assisted
him materially in his political preferment
During his campaign for the senatorship
she was present at seventy-four of the seven
ty-six appointments he made. She was his
counselor as lawyer, appearing In court
even with him as an assistant in several i'm
portant cases.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
and Mrs. Thurston were members of
congressional party which left March
for trip to Cuba on the yacht Anita.
The brief announcement of Mrs.

tory to her many acquaintance in this
city, and every effort was made to Sc
cure details as the demise was most
unexpected.

MAKING DYNAMITE GUNS,
Garvin Machine Company Executing
m Order for the Government.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Special telegram to
the Chronicle from New York: Thirty dyna-
mite field guns, the kind with which the
Cubans have been moving down the Span
iards, are being built by the Garvin Machine
company at Spring and Varrick streets for
use in the United States army in the event
of war with Spain. The order was placed yes
terday by the Simms-Dudey Defense com
pany, which secured the contract from the
government.
The Garvin gun is one of the most deadly
employed in modern warfare. 1t is of/smail
bore, light and easily handled and throws
shell charged with dynamite. The projectle
is discharged from the gun by means of gum
powder and the fuse is so timed that the
shell explodes in the ranks of the enemy
The attachments of Cuban Insurgents
armed with these pieces have seldom failed
to rout the Spaniards, and it is said that the
efficacy of the dynamite gun has favorably
impressed our war department Work on
the order will be FASTENED as rapidly as pos,
sible.

SENATOR MASON CHALLENGED
The Editor of a Spanish illustrated
Paper Wants to Fight Him
With Swords

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Mason today received the challenge
sent him by the editor of the Spanish
illustrated paper, Ell Cardo. The docu
ment Is printed, and is signed by the
editor, the Marquis de Alta Villa.
The challenge Is to q combat at
swords point, and is preceded by
short column Of personal abuse, in
which Mr.. Mason is described as IAN
ignoble Yankee senator, who scolds like
a woman, and who has not yet the
valor to fight like a man, and who
would take a slap in the face without
resenting it,
The American people are referred to
as "a people who deal in pigs, and
whose flag is the almighty dollar"
The senator accepts the challenge
in jocose spirit. He says he will
have to see the marquis before he de-
cides whether he will accept, but that
it scarcely accords with Spanish mod
esty for the challenging party to name
the weapons, as Is done in this In
stance.
