There was meeting Of the board Of
directors of the Minneapolis chamber of
commerce yesterday afternoon, and coin
cidentally a rumor began to circulate
that its purpose was to finally knock out
the deal with Thomas Lowry in connec-
ton with the new chamber building. The
subject of either the adoption or rejec-
ton of Mr.. Lowrys plans was not I'M
der consideration, the only business of
Importance consisting of a change in one
of the rules of the board
President c. NJ. Harrington, of the
chamber, is still absent in the East, and
his return Is not now looked for earlier
than a week or ten days from this date.
1t is said that doubtless before his ar
rival, and possibly within the next forty
eight hours, a statement will issue Off
C!ally from the chamber of commerce ad-
dressed to the members of the associa-
ton setting forth the exact status Of
the negotiations between the chamber
directory and Mr.. Lowry.
This statement, it is understood, is now
In course Of preparation and will deal
comprehensively with the entire history
of the transaction. 1t is not improbable
that the language Of the paper may ex-
cite some criticism on it's appearance,
and that a portion of its contents may
be of a nature calculated to inspire a re-
3oinder on the part Of Mr.. Lowry.

Judge Hilton lost fully $4500,000 in the
venture previous to the collapse. To keep
the store going he raised 81, 250, 900 by
mortgaging the Stewart building at
Broadway and Chambers street, which
had also passed into his possession, as
had the 100000 structure further up
town. Hetty Green loaned him the 81 200,-
600, charging him 6 per cent interest and
per cent for the accommodation.
Money at that time was very tight.
The enigma of the Stewart millions is
Judge Hilton eventually came into pos
session of nearly all of them-how, has
never been made clear.
Judge Hilton spent hundreds of thou
sands defending the suits brought against
him. The litigants made all kinds of
charges relative to the way in which he
gained control of the bulk of the Stewart
estate. In every instance Judge Hilton
won. His interests were defended by
Joseph H. Choate and Elihu Root. In
one case several of the claimants pooled
their interests and employed the late Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler as their chief coun -.
sci.
In the past dozen years Judge Hilton
suffered much by the conduct of some of
his sons, who diSSipated great sums of
money on actresses and in other ways.
Frederick died in Carlsbad suddenly in
1894. The eldest son, Henry G. Hilton,

GAR REEDS RULES.
They VIII Be Changed y then the
House Meets in December


WASHINGTON. Aug. 24-There was a
revival of the story that when the house e
is organized the Republicans will aban-
don the committee rules, of which the
speaker is a member, and in its place
have committee, consisting of seven
members of the majority party. Accord
ing to this plan, which is fostered by
Representative Hepburn, the speaker will
not be a member of the committee, and
the speaker will consequently lose some
OF his power, as he can only rule the
| house through the committee on rules.
When this plan was discussed some
time ago it was dismissed by the Re2ubli-
cans because it would be impossible to
have a partisan committee in a congress
! which is made up of members of all par
ties. But an important change in the
rules which relate to the recognition of
members claiming the floor will probably
be adopted
For number of years 1t has been en-
| tirely optional with the speaker to rec
ognize or refuse to recognize a member
seeking to take the floor This has en-
abled the speaker to ignore his enemies,
and has had the effect of keeping mem
berS in the background
During the Forty-sixth congress the
rules required the speaker to recognize
the member first claiming the floor, or In
case of two or more members claiming
the floor at the same time the speaker
could recognize any one making the de-
mand, and others to be recognized in
order after the one first recognized had
taken his seat 1t is now proposed to re-
turn to this rule, which will insure every
member hearing if he desires It,
The effect of this will be to enable q.
majority of the house to control the pro-
ceedings of the body without depending
upon the individual will of the speaker
and to give every member the right to
| be heard and to test the will of the ma
1ority as to any proposition.
1t is hoped by this means to prevent the
p1geon-holing of measures which have the
support OF majority, but which are op-
posed by the speaker. The purnosa is n

character
