ing done by the inmates of the institu-
tion The legislature at the recent ses-
sion appropriated $4,000 for each Of the
next two years for the construction of
the building, and this sum will, 1t is ex-
pected, nearly complete the building.
In the informal discussion regarding
the plans and building Gov. Lind sug-
gested that the board might consider the
question of providing the granite for the
approaches to the new capitol building.
Several of the members of the board
were doubtful of the proprfety of having
stone cut and dressed by convict labor
used in the new capitol building and were
of the opinion that the labor unions
would make a protest against this plan
The question. will be considered by the
board at future meeting.
The board approved the purchase of a
forty-acre tract from Gustaf johnson for
$EC0 but took no action as to The pur-
chase Of the balance of the 200 acres
which was to be secured for the institu-
ton. A portion of the 200 acres which
the board intended to purchase was
transferred by Supt. Houlton and other
members of his family to a third party
in February. last, and it has not been
decided as yet whether the tract will be
purchased or not.

There were few who cheered this ex-
plosion of pent-up feeling, but when
Sishop Quigiey, rising quickly to his
feet, said:
1T is unfair and 1ncalled for to reject

have taken place, and as I know none Of

called on Daniel J. Keefe, president of
the International 'Longshoremen's asso-
citation, and the Chicago man in response
gave some hard and sensible words of
advice to his hearers
Bishop Quigley was again called upon
to speak and responded briefly. He
said
II did not come here to advise or die

occurred at the recent conference, but
l must tell you that I am more than

A committee of three, consisting Of
Bishop Quigley, ex-Congressman r. B.

After a few minutes deliberation the

this purpose: Bishop Quigley. Father

CRUSADE ON CoRsETs.

CLEVELAND, o., May 10-The corset
was thoroughly discussed from all its
phases today, at the meeting of the In
ternational Woman's Health Protective
league, the convention of which is be-
ing held in this city this week.
Miss e. Marguerite Indy, Of New
York city, chairman of physical econo-
mics of the league, delivered an address
on physical economics. She devoted much
of her paper to an attack on the corset.
"Corsets," said she, ARE responsible for
many of the ills of womankind. We look
with horror and pity upon the Chinese
women, who allow their feet to be band
aged that they may be small, which re-
suit is accomplished only too we'll But
what cripples they make Of the womenl
It is not one whit more foolish than wear
ing corsets. I do not wear corsets, and
to that I believe 1 owe the good health
which have.
'I am heartily in sympathy with the
movement on foot in Germany which
prohibits school girls from wearing cor
sets. 1t is a step in the right direction.
1 have for years advocated doing away
with them. Nature never intended that
women, especially a growing girl, should
wear them"

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 10.-The trouble
between Contractor Connors and the
grain shovelers is nearer a settlement to-
night than at any time since the ship
ping season opened. The prospects are
now that before the end of the week tho
whole matter will be Strengthened out
the grain blockade will be raised and the
men will be at work
Between the time of the meeting of
the grain shovelers, at which Bishop
Quigley submitted his report Of the Mon
day night conference with the lake car
riers this afternoon and at 10 o'clock
tonight the aspect of the situation
changed completely. This afternoon the
grain shovelers and their leaders and
advisers apparently were firm in their
determination to accept no compromise.
Tonight the leaders were prepared to
make terms along the lines laid down in
the last proposition made by the lake
carriers, which provided for the appoint
ment of a general superintendent who
should have entire charge of the unload
ing Of grain at this port and who was
to be appointed by Bishop Quigley and
paid by the Lake Carriers association,
Mr.. Connors, the present contractor,
merely to draw his commission until the
end Of the year, when his contract ex-
pires.
This change of attitude was brought
about by a, conference held at Bishop
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-05-11

Quigley's residence tonight, at which the
bishop, Rev. Father O'Connor, President
Keefe, of the International Longshore-
mems union, and the representatives of
the local unions were present. The con-
ference began shortly before 9 o'clock,
Bishop Quigley presiding
COMPROMISE URGED.
President Keefe advised that the last
proposition made by the Lake Carriers
association be accepted. He pointed out
the fact that if the present offer of the
Lake Carriers association was spurned
all might be lost by the possible inabil-
ity of the leaders to hold the grain SHOW
elers together and prevent them from
accepting the terms individually.
The leaders of the grain shovelers ex-
pressed doubt as to their ability to in
duce the men to agree to any terms
other than those which they themselves
had proposed.
John M. Hennessy, a member Of the
committee, was delegated to wait on the
shovelers and ask them If they would
agree to the proposition made by the
lake carriers. He returned some time
afterward with the information that the
grain shovelers had again voted not to
return to work unless the contract is
abrogated.
, Inc conference lasted until 1O:3U o O'CIOCk.
Before adjournment it. became evident
that the leaders of the grain shovelers
were ready to advise the men to compro-
mise. After the conference Bishop
Quigley said:
"The indications are that a settlement
will be reached very soon. The leaders
are in a much better disposition and ap-
pear to- be prepared to accept reasonable
terms, Two propositions to be made to
the lake carriers at conference to be
held soon were discussed, but no final
decision was reached. The committee
will meet here again tomorrow night. l
think 1t likely that arrangements looking
to the settlement of the trouble will be
made then"
MASS MEETING HELD.
A mass meeting of grain shovelers was
held this afternoon, at which addresses
were delivered by. several local men. At
the conclusion of the speaking about
1,bO0 men left the building and Lined up
on both sides of the street in front of
the building in expectancy of Bishop
Quigley's arrival. A mighty cheer greet
ed the clergyman as he alighted from
his carriage, and then all hands rushed
after him into the building.
After order had been restored Bishop
Quigley read verbal copy Of what had
taken place at his residence last Monday
night between the representatives of both
parties, and when he had finished the
reading there was hearty and prolonged
cheers given In the reverend gentleman .

A Unique Diversion for the Visiting
Chiefs OF Police.


CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 10-The
members of the National Police Chiefs
association and the visitors to the con-
vention of the association were treated
to negro chase by bloodhounds to-
day
This afternoon all the visiting chiefs
and their ladies were taken ten miles up
the Tennessee river on the steamer Joe
Wheeler. from the decks of which they
watched the chase. Seven full-blooded
dogs were set after a negro in the woods
along the banks of the river, with Of
f1cers closely in pursuit on horseback.
The negro was given an hours start of
the dogs and improved his advantage.
The baying of the dogs made their posi-
ton easily distinguishable to those
on board.
When the negro appeared near the
waters edge several miles from where
he started, dusty, dirty and painting for
breath, great cheer went up. The ne
gro quickly climb tree, and he was
none too soon, for the dogs were close
after him. The officers were upon the
scene and called them off. A luncheon
was served and a dance given on board

1t Is Said to BE Not Only Rich, but
Easily Accessible.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1O--The Ex-
aminer prints a story regarding the new
gold discoveries at, Point Nome, in Alas
ka, which its advices declare to exceed
in richness those of the Klondike. The
strike is on the Snake river and Its trib
utaries about twenty miles back from
Cape Nome, and 120 miles from st.
Michael's-just outside the st. Michaefs
military reservation of the United States
government. The mines are all in Amer
lean territory. The reports from miners
on the ground say that it is only six feet
to bed rock, and the ground is alleged
to pay from the surface. A stampede
from Dawson and St. Michaels to the
new gold field is predicted. The officials
of the Alaska Commercial company point
ont the fact that these diggings seem to
be in well defined belt, which takes in
the Klondike country, the Forty Mile and,
Circle City mines, the Koyukuk strikes,
and passes on through the Snake river
into Siberia.
