alton of an indemnity fund by the in

either by the payment of the duties in

present or else by doubling the present
silver duties from 5 per cent to 10, per

lishment of minister of foreign affairs
in place of the old and cumbersome
system of the tsung Ii yamen. The de-
mand for the
Retirement Of the Empress DowaEor
is said to result from the co0clueao0
now generally accepted that the inn
perial government of China was re-
sponsible for the Boxer uprising. A.
the empress dowager was the ruling
authority Of the imperial government
during the uprising, this responsibility
ts brought home directly to her. There
is understood to he no purpose, how
ever, to visit upon her any personal
punishment or indignity, but merely to
so form the reconstructed government
as to exclude her from all participation
in it. It is deemed advisable for that
reason that she should remain per-
manently away from Picking and chat
her advisers also should be kept away
from the seat of government.
The plan Of doubling China's GUS
toms duties has arisen from the need
of finding source to pay war indemni-
ties which the various powers demand

dred Behind-Minne-
apOHs News.

The first returns from the Minneapolis
election were not received at headquarters
until about 1 o'clock, though there were
fragmentary ones received over the teIe-
phone These indicated that Mckinley
had carried the city by large vote, and
that Van SAINT and Lind were running a
very warm race
Dr. A. A Ames, Republican candidate
for mayor, showed up strong Gu the
very first returns, and w. j. Dean. the
Prohibition candidate was third in the
race. Gray's friends were disappointed.
Instead of looming up strong IN the resi-
dence wards, it was seen tbae in the
Eighth particularly Dean poI,ed a strong
vote, in some instances having a plurality
in the districts.
The Sixth, the Democratic stronghold,
unlike the Eighth, showed n falling off
in the registration, and the result of the
polling there showed that Ames had
many friends. Though Gray had carried
all the districts in this ward that had
reported up to midnight, it was plain to
be seen that the mayors plurality in this
ward would not offset the large Repub-
lican vote in the Fifth and Eighth.
From the scattering returns 1t would
appear as If the proposed charter were
beaten, for In many of the districts not
more than one-half of the voters paid any
attention to the matter. AS q failure to.
vote counts the same as vote against
the measure 1t is easy to see that unless
the voters IN the districts yet 10 report
have given the matter consideration the
document is beaten.

do this with the necessary expedition and
completeness IS of detail, nearly ninety oper-
ators were kept busily employed from
the hour Of the closing of the polls until
after o'clock this morning.
One operator secured through connec-
ton with New York, and received re-
turns from that city as soon as did the
telegraph companies Most of the intel
hgence from New York city related to
the vote in the city and state. The bulk
OF the national returns-weFe secured over
direct wires to Chicago, Cleveland. Gin

distance wires were handled by TWENTY
three young. men, who received messages
from points 1000 miles distant with as
much ease as if they were in Saltwater
reports from state points were also re-

HUGE CROWDS STAYED LATE.
Streets Near the Globe Bulletins
Were Almost impossible


st. Paul turned out en- masse last night,
and, while the fate of the nation lay
quiYering in the balance, went down to
get the first news of the election re-
turns and a sympathetis little spatter Of
rain came down too, in the first part of
the evening, sympathetic to the indoor
entertainments which reaped a royal
harvest.
1t was the most tremendous crowd that
ever stayed up election night in the
history of elections that made their head
quarters in the center of the city last
night
The corner and streets leading to
Newspaper Row were packed almost to
suffocatiOn from very early in the even
ing. In fact the crowd commenced to
gather at O'Clock and gained in size
until after midnight when the great
mass of humanity gradually lessened in
numbers but gained in enthusiasm. AS
the stereopticon threw the latest returns
from the G | o b e windows upon the
canvas the crowd yelled until they were
completely exhausted as the favorite can
didates appeared to be gaining and later
as they became certain winners

in a while, by way of protest, there
would come a little furry.
Anyone who may have been declaring
that this was a tame election must
have had his notions badly hurt if ne
remained anywhere within ten miles of
st. Paul last night
Sometimes the band would do its best
but it could not beat the crowd until a
lull Cf sheer exhaustion would sweep
over the mob for an instant.
Enormous numbers eongregated in the
theaters to listen to the reading of the
returns. Mckinley and Lind seemed to
be the prime favorites there and the
audience tried to 'holler'' themselves
hOarse in appreciation.
At the Auditorium the largest paid au-
