Owing to the great cost Of the mer,

problems was to devise the apparatus 80
as to get rid of any possibility of waste.
Hence, anything like a Niagara Falls
of mercury was out Of the question. The
top bowl is, in fact, not bowl at all,
but table, with sixtyfour small chan,
nels radiating from the center to the
outward edge. From the center the
quicksilver is thus distributed evenly
over the edge. and drops in silvery
streaks into the basin below, where,
curious to relate, two household fiat
irons float about as airily as II they
were ducks on the mill pond-a striking
object lesson, proving the wonderful
density of the liquid.
From the lower bowl there Is drain
pipe eighty feet long and one inch in
diameter, which conveys the mercury to
a tank at a slightly lower level, form
ing the supply to an elevator apparatus
for providing the necessary head OF
mercury The form of elevation adopted
consists of number of small, thickly
set steel buckets freely suspended at
intervals on an endless bicycle chain,
which Is conveyed through the storage
tank.
AS each bucket dips into the latter, a
fitting device insures it picking up all
the mercury which it will conveniently
hold. The buckets are then carried up
ward to a reservoir tank some fourteen
feet above, where each in turn, by
means Of similar fitting arrangement Is
emptied From this upper tank the
mercury is conducted by a pipe LOG feet
in length to the upper basin of the foun-
tain.

tive point is Shakopee. The affair is in
the nature of a double trip for the ex-
cursionists will be afforded an opportun-
ity to go by river and return by rail
The pretty town of Shakopee is we'll
worth visiting, while the scenery along
the river route is most picturesque and
attractive. There will be but d limited
number of tickets sold so no one need
fear overcrowding of boat or cars. AS
this will be the last chance to avail one
self Of the G excursions this sea-
son the attendance will likely be large
and 1t would be we'll to secure tickets
early. The steamer Pauline and barge
will make the outbound trip, and the
ticket holders will return by the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway.
Music will be furnished for dancing by
the Citizens orchestra and military band.
The commodtous barge which will accom-
pany the steamer Pauline will afford am

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-Gov, Lind
and the official party to greet the return
ing Minnesota troops, reported to have
started from st. Paul this morning. may
be too late to see the transport Sheridan
arrive, but they will probably be in time
to see the street parade. There are
about twenty Minnesota people here now,
but there is no organization amorg them
and there is no Disgusting the fact that
the feeling between the Minnesota people
is little strained No one here cares to
take the initiative, and the members Of
the delegation are scattered over the
city.
Gen. Reeve says that he is here simply
as private citizen to meet his old regi-
ment, and SO informed Gen. Shafter. He
has promised number of officers wives
that he will do everything possible to see
that they meet their husbands as soon as
the boat gets in. but he refuses to call
any meeting Of the delegation.
Tie people of San Francisco are a little
surprised that there is no official repre-
sentative of the state here and all that
Gen. Shafter can do Is simply to tell
every one from Minnesota that the
steamer Gen. Mcdowell is at their dis
posal 1t is probable that the CT liens
committee will furnish a band. Gov.
Lind might ask some one by telegraph
to act for Minnesota, but it looks bad
for the state when 1t is considered that
North Dakota sent It's entire congress
sional delegation. Meetings are Id ev-
cry day, lunches were prepared and CIV
en- to the soldiers, carriages were secured
and the party participated in the parade
and everything was nicely looked after.
Committees were appointed to carry out
all the details and In consequence the
North Dakota men are all proud of their
state. Every visitor was in touch with
the situation and informed as soon as
i the Grant reached port
But as 1t looks now it will be a heller
SHELTER affair with Minnesota, each one
looking out for himself, unless some Or
ganization is formed right away. Col.
Ames and Gen Reeve both called on
Gen. Shafter this morning and the gen.
eral said that he was willing to give the
Minnesota people everything at his dis
posal, as he was an officer in the First
Minnesota during the Civil war.

ment." said the official, and 1t is safe to
predict that the boys Of the Thirteenth
will not arrive In st. Paul In anything
like an intact condition. There will be
assertions at every possible point, and
the influence of the seductive smiles and
a chance to enjoy little unrestrained
liberty will prove stronger arguments
than any feeling that the regiment
should retain its full strength In order
to make a showing in st. Paul"
GOV. LIND STARTS WEST.
In accordance with his plans Gov. Lind,

The governors party is made up OF Hieih-

cities represented In the regiment and
physicians. The party has the handsome
sleeping car Ste. Hilaire.

Gov Lind intends to make a personal IN
vestigation Of the trouble between Col.
Ames and the other officers of the Thlr-
tenth It Is further reported that II the
governor should find that the colonel Is
not in the right, he will ask him to re-
sign. The colonel is understood to be con-
fldeut that a personal interview, with the
governor VII clear up any prejudice the
latter may have. The colonel Will not
take any further steps until he sees the
governor The San Francisco papers are
on the qui vive for a sensation when the
regiment arrives, and there is the dis
agreeable possibility of some bad feeling
being stirred up that may mar the JOY
of the occasion as well the return to

resign under fire, 1t is said, but wishes
to come home at the head of the reg1-

they dispense and after the American
troops have passed on rally again and
go to fighting. Owing to this and the
small forces of soldiers the same en-
trenchments frequently have TO be taken
twice or three times. The soldiers labor
under the disadvantage of not having ra-
lions or ammunition. it being impossible
for the bull teams to keep up with the
column. Gen. Lawton, who had COM
mand of the brigade of which the Thir-
teenth was a part, Barker says, is an
excellent soldier and a fighter, but had
not men enough to hold the towns after
taking them and was obliged to go for
weird or retreat after each engagement
and this gave the natives a chance to
rally and fight the same ground over
again. Fully 100000 troops, will be needed
to clear the island up and, settle the ma
tives. The other members gof the regi-

The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific Will bring home the Thirteenth reg
iruent from San Francisco A joint rate
was agreed upon and submitted to the
committee, consisting of Mayor kiefer
and James Gregory, acting for Mayor
Gray. of Minneapolis, at a meeting held
yesterday forenoon. Previously a meet
ms or the passenger agents of the inter-
ested roads was held in the office Of Gen
eral Passenger Agent Teasdale, Of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha,
at which the situation was discussed and
a decision to meet the required rate Of
$50 arrived at. The Omaha withdrew
from the business, for the reason that
their connections into San Francisco de-
manded too high a proportion of the rate
that they could not haul the traffic
The $50 rate is precisely what the COM
mittee desired end meets the require
ments. The volunteers will be brought
home in tourist sleeping cars, each man
having a double berth. Owing to the
withdrawal of the Omaha, the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern will equally
divide the business and trains will be
scheduled in such a manner that the ar
irving time in the cities will be the same.
All the men stand on an equal footing
So far as the provisions for their trans
portation are concerned. Officers will be
able to secure accommodations In Pull
man cars by the payment Of SIS addition
al.
The northern lines reach within between
$50 and $50 miles of San Francisco and
will pay 81 per man as their proportion
to their connections. The Omaha does
not run within 1887 miles Of San Fran
cisco, and in order to transport the regi-
ment would have to pay $3.50 per man
to their connecting line, the Southern Pa
cifc. In addition to this, IS additional
would be demanded for sleeping car ac-
commodations, making a total Of 500. 80.
This would leave only $3.50 to pay for
transportation over the remaining 1,40Q
miles.
The committee was notified of the ac-
ton Of the two northern roads and con-
tracts viii be drawn up and signed at
once Even in view of the fact that
transportation has been secured at q very
