Office, the following members were pres,
emit: First ward, L. Bishman Gus Tu-
barg; Second ward, Ed Schumacher;
Third ward, E l. P. Staede, n. Klein
schmidt; Fourth ward, B f. Schafer,
Harry Paddock Fifth ward, Paul Olson;
/ Sixth ward j n, Day, j. G.. Fowler.
A large number of other Republicans
were present the crowd being so great
| that all could not get into the room.
| Mr. Fowler was elected temporary
chairman in the absence of Chairman
In. c. Burgess, and S. B. Wilson was
secretary
1t was decided, on Mr. PaddoCk's
motion, to hold the caucuses on the
evening of March 21st from $50 to 500
o'clock and to call the convention to
meet in the band room on the third
floor of the city hall on March 23rd at
| 10 a. M. Messrs Fowler and Wilson
The question of representation was
taken up and it was agreed on Mr..
Staede's motion that it should be on the
basis of one delegate for each % votes
or major fraction thereof cast for Nc
| Kinley in 1896
1t was decided that the caucuses
shall be held at the usual polling places,
except in the Second ward, where the
caucus will be held at Ed Schumacher's
store 306 North Front street
Mr.. Fowler asked what was the next
thing in order
Mr. Staede remarked that he sup
posed that nominations were the next
at the expense of the candidates who
were present.
Chairman Fowler asked whether
there was any other business to come
up, and w. H. Anderson suggested that
the beet sugar question might be
brought up After few good natured
sallies back and forth, Mr.. Wilson said
that the new charter provides for an
alderman at large, and asked whether
some provision for this ought not to be
made in the call. Mr. Fowler and
others thought not, as the new charter
may not De adopted and if it was sue
cessful it would not go into effect until
thirty days after election
The question of the manner of nomi-
mating candidates for aldermen was
! talked over, and it was the general
opinion that the old.way of voting for
them at the caucuses and endorsing at
the convention was the best way.
There being no other business to come
before it, the committee adjourned
The representation under The call will
be as follows:
First ward, 8; Second ward, Z; Third
ward, 8; Fourth ward, IL; Fifth ward,
10; Sixth ward, 5; total, 50

would be built in Dukes addition if
there was an electric car line there.
j. B Richards said that North Man
kato is now getting many of our peo'
pie.
Mr.. Patterson suggested that the
street car line should run over there.
Mr.. Clark asked whether, if capital
was brought to the city from outside,
representative business men would per-
nit their names to be used in applying
i for a franchise to the council.
Mr. Pau sid that it would be an in.
vividual matter The field is large
enough and the present company
would not be hurt. Mankato would
welcome anyone from outside who
would invest money in the city. Our
people might not like to take stock un-
less they had a controlling interest, as
otherwise the outsiders might freeze
them out
Mr. Clark suggested that our people
could help the enterprise along just as
we'll by taking bonds instead of stock
and thus avoiding stockholders liabili-
ty and be assured an income.
Mr.. Patterson said that bondholders
have no voice in the management
Mr. Zimmerman said that he thought
that street car line alone would not
pay. 1t would require lighting plant
in addition. If outsiders come in there
would be so much opposition from the
friends of the local plant that it would
be hard for them to pull through.
Mr. Schumacher said that if the PEG
pie at large benefited as much by the
competition as they did by the coming
of the new phone line they should well
come the new company.
Mr. Patterson said that the new tele-
phone company is not doing as
well as he had thought it would.
Aid Fritz said that if half of the
businessmen would agree to take lights
from the new company instead of stock
the same end would be reached
Mr. Klein asked why not aid the
present company to put in a street car
line, reduce its lighting rates, and dou-
BILE its business. He would give our
home people the first chance.
After some further discussion the
meeting adjourned.

MAY RUN AGAIN.
Pressure Being Brought to Bear
on Aldermen.
Belief Expressed That Aids. Zimmerman
Petersen and Fowler Will Not
Decline denominations.

Aid. Petersen stated Friday that he
would not be candidate for mayor
next spring. When asked whether he
would be candidate for re-
election as alderman, he replied that
he did not know yet, but did not think
that he would. In speaking of NUM-
cipal affairs, he said: THE mayor
ought to give his entire time to the
city, which is not to be expected for
the mere pittance of salary which he
receives. If the'mayor was president of
the board of public works and had a
salary of 81, 200 from the combined Of
fees good man could afford to give
his entire time to the city. If every de-
partment of the city was looked after
carefully, thousands of dollars could no
doubt be saved. and it would pay the
city to give a good man such salary
that he would not be Obliged to devote
his time to some other business to earn
living

Auckland. New Zealand, April 12.--
Further advices from Apla, say that
on the arrival of the British cruiser
Tauranga at Apia, the British Ameri-
can consuls issued proclamation to
give Mataafa a last chance, and that
the French priests also used their in
fiuence, but all efforts failed, and the
rebels continued their depredations.
Property was destroyed and bridges
and roads were barricaded. On March
20 the enemy was sighted at Maguigi
and machine guns and a seven-pound-
er were used. The "friendlies" (the ma
tives in sympathy with Malietoa) also
attacked the enemy during the latter $
retreat, and several rebels were killed
or wounded. The "friendlies" carried
one head through Apia, which made
Capt. Stuart so furious that he went
to the king and threatened to shoot any
man found taking heads. The king then
issued a proclamation forbidding the
practice.
The German consul wrote to Admiral
Kautz, asking il two great Christian
nations approved of this inhuman and
barbarous practice against the laws Of
Christianity and the decree of the su-
preme court. The admiral replied,
agreeing with the consul as to the in
humanity of the practice and pointed

GERMANY GETS TIDINGs.
DiscIaims All Responsibility for Occurrence
and Expresses Regret.

Berlin, April 12.-An official dispatch
from Apla, dated April 9TH says: The
British have been bombarding a Sa-
moan village daily and the adherents
of both Tanu and Mataafa are plunder-
ing foreign property.
"On April 1, an Anglo-American
landing party of seventy men fell into
an ambuscade near Vaiiele. Three OH
GERS were killed and two light guns
were captured. The warships after
wards renewed the bon.Uardment."
The officials here point out that the
engagement appears to have occurred
at the same place that a landing party
from the German warships Olga, Eher
and Adler had an encounter Win the
natives in 1888.
