EXHIBIT BEGINS TODAY.
Architects Invited to Design Phoebe
Hearst College.

An attractive pamphlet was received
by the secretary of state yesterday,
consisting of a programme for the IN
ternational competition for the archi-
tectural designs for the Phoebe Hearst
college, to be erected near San Fran
CISCO The competition is open to the
world, for the grandest institution of
learning, ever built. The question of
cost will not enter into the plan, as
there is nearly $40, 100000 in sight from
endowments and the various appropri-
atoms from the state. 1t is to be the
university of California. The prizes
given in the competition for plans are
generous, and the pictures of the site
and the outline of the grouping of the
buildings have been sent to Srchitec-
tural societies in all parts of the world.
Mrs. Hearst, the widow of the million
aire Hearst, contributed $4,000, and
half a dozen or more California million
aires will also contribute largely, and
the buildings will be named after the
party making the endowment by which
thew were built.

After a stay in st. Paul of nearly

Per Programme.

He IS Appointed on the water Board
Per Programme.
AS announced in the G l b yester-
Gay. Mayor Doran presented Patrick
W. Hudner with his commission as
member Of the water board yesterday
morning. The new water commissioner
had a conference with the mayor, last
ing over an hour, and then proceeded to
the city clerks office and was sworn
in. Mr.. Hudner says that he would
not have been appointed had It not
been for the influence Of the plumbers
who have urged for years that q mem
Der Of the trade be appointed on the
board. AS to the changes of employees
to be made by the commissioners, Mr..
Hudner said:
81 have not given the matter a thought.
There is. l know, an impression that an
effort will be made to GUST Secretary Caul-
field So far as I am concerned, 1 have al
obliging and thorough official. In fact, l look
upon him as great part of the water board.
He has been with the water department Of
the city for more than twenty years. and
knows all the ms and outs the strong
places and the weak points Of the department.
1t is serious question whether another man
could be secured who would do the work in
as satisfactory manner as Mr.. Caulfeid.
So far l concerned, the subordinate
positions under the board shall be placed in
competent hands. OF course being only one
member out of five, 1 will have little to say
about the employing of clerks. but if there
are now any with the board who insom-
petent, or who for other reasons are not
titled to the positions they hold. 1 will cast
my vote for their removal. l don't know that
any of the employees incompetent

What I do desire to see accomplished is
tie cheapening of the cost of connections. l
believe this to b Elm the interest of the health
of the citizens, and that it will in the end
result in increased receipts by the board. In

ONLY FORTY HAVE PAID,
But at Last Accounts the Mayor was
Cool.

Ninety odd applications for saloon
licenses were to have been considered
by the aldermanic committee on
licenses yesterday. The corporation at
torney. however, had not approved the
bonds as required by law, and for this
reason action was postponed. In his
inaugural message, Mayor Doran made
q great cry about allowing saloonkeep-
ers to run a single day after their
license had expired without the pay
ment of another $1,000, and in Deem
Der. 1896, all saloonkeepers We're noti-
fled that they would have to be prompt
in paying the license fee. This year
there is to be an election, and it is
probably owing TO this fact that the
administration is not enforcing the law
as strictly as the mayor, in assuming
charge of the government, promised.
Up to last night $4,000 had been paid
into the city treasury for saloon
licenses.

CROSSED OFF TWO NAMES.
Comptroller McCardy SIashes the
Fire Pay Roll.

Comptroller McCardy used red ink on
the pay roll Of the fire department yesterday.
He at first decided to hold up the entire roll
but reconsidered and struck off the names
OF 5. W. Manning and Fred Hough who
were down as truckmen of hook and ladder
company No. 2, at salaries of $67 each. AS
matter of fact, Manning and Hough are
employed as operators in the fire alarm de-
engaged for several years. The board raised
the salaries of each of the operators to SGT
per month, and they drew this amount for
several months. Comptroller McCardy, how
ever, in looking over the charter one day, no
dced section which provided that the oper-
ators in the fire alarm department were lin
tied in number to three and were not to re-
ceive to exceed $50 per month. The fire COM
misSloners explained to the comptroller that
instead OF hiring three men, only two were
employed, and the salary of the third dfvd-
ed between the two. The comptroller would
not listen to this and the board placed
both Manning and HOugh OH the roll as
truckmen and fixed their salary at SGT per
month. The comptroller calls this action an
evasion OF the law, and struck their names
from the paw roll

The board Of aldermen considered the
tax estimate for 1898 last evening, and
made no changes from the figures for
the various Departments as agreed upon
at the meeting Of the council as a COM
mlttee OF the whole Monday night 1t
was noticeable, however, that Assem-
olyman hfrke got in his work and that
the $4,000 which the comptroller had
inserted in the general fund, "to come
and go on" was carefully eliminated
from the resolution which the aldermen
passed as fixing the amount necessary
TO be raised by taxation. The comp
troller. in the estimate he submitted to
the conference committee, made the to-
tai amount to be raised by taxation
$1,34S,827, and this sum was increased
$4,000 by the conference committee
The council. in committee of the whole,
added $4,000 to this sum, making the to-
tai amount to be raised by taxation
81, 1861 27, but the board of aldermen
last evening deducted $4,000 from this
sum, just the amount Assemblyman
Kirke has repeatedly claimed the comp
troller had inserted in the estimate
which was not necessary. The esti-
mate, as passed by the board of alder
men, places the sum to be raised by
taxation at $1,356,827, which is $42 497
less than the sum fixed by the council
to be raised by taxation in 1896. AS
semblyman Kirke, who was present at
the meeting Of the aldermen last even
ing, was greatly pleased over the ac-
ton taken and considered himself in
dorsed as to his contention about the
mistake Of the comptroller in making
up the estimate. Assistant Corpora
ton Attorney Phillips, who prepared
the resolution which was adopted, said
he knew nothing about the alleged mis-
take Of the comptroller in connection
with the figures for the general fund.
He had prepared the resolution by add
ing the various sums which the esti-
mate showed were to be raised by tax
alton and paid no attention to the
item headed general fund. The esti-
mate showed that $1,356,S2 was neces-
sary to be raised by taxation and he
had drawn the resolution accordingly
The resolution as adopted by
unanimous vote the eleven members
read as follows:
Resolved. by the common council of the
city of ST. Paul. That the amounts of money
necessary to be raised by the tax levy to

Katie Kepner quarreled with the young man
to whom she is engaged to be married yes
terday and tried to end her life with a dose
of carbolic acid. She thought life not worth
the living after her sweetheart eft her, and
was quite determined in her suicidal purpose

badly burned, but she did not swallow

the wedding must be postponed. The girl
took this declaration very much to heart and
after angry words with the young man
threatened to end her life if he did not ap-
pear at the appointed time. After the young
man left Katie spent several hours in the

March Before Passengers Can Get
Out of Seattle.

George w. VogeI, vice president and
resident manager of the Western Min
ing and Supply company, who is In
this CITY, received a lengthy telegram
from his company at Seattle yesterday
telling of the arrival Of forty Klon-
dikers with half a million in dust.
These men left Dawson City Nov. %,
and under all the circumstances made
a rapid trip. They came down from
Skaguay on the Pacific mail steamer
Corona, which left Seattle on the up
trip some two weeks ago, turning away
hundreds of eager passengers.
In the telegram is contained the view
that it will be toward the last part
of March before any of the $4,000 peo-
pie now in Seattle will be able to Sc
cure steamboat accommodations as far
as Dyea and Skaguay. Mr.. Vogel is
authority for the statement that ms
own company was unable to have $500
pounds of machinery sent up to Dyea
owing to the fact that the big COM
panies have bought up in advance an

lions to be had.

FARM BUYERS PAY UP.
Great Increase in Number Of Final
Payments G1ade.

State Auditor Dunn reports that he
issued more patents to state and school
lands during the three months ending
Dec 81, than any previous year. The
number issued during the last three
months of 1896, was sixty-one. while
for corresponding time of 1897, 121
were issued. Mr. Dunn thinks that this
ircrease in the final payments for land
made by settlers is occasioned by the
large crops harvested last fall, and the
good price the farmer received for his
product. State lands are held by set
tiers by a certificate until the final pay
ment is made when the state auditor
issues a patent to the payee.
