FRENCH ELECTIONS.
NatiOnaIists Have Gained Great
Local Victory.

PARIS, May H.-The second ballots in
the municipal election in Paris yesterday,
in the d stricts left without definite re-
suits on May g. have given the National
lists twenty out of thirty seats This re-
suit fully justifies them in claiming
great local victory, inasmuch as seven
teen out of twenty seats are direct gains
from the ministerial Socialists.
For the districts they carried on May
6, the Nationalists will now control
twenty-eight new members in the new
municipal council. This gives them
sweeping majority, for, with the Roy
alists, Conservatives and disgruntled Re-
publicans, they can count on fOrty-eight
votes in a body consisting of eighty.
Thus the Waldeck- Rousseau cabinet
has suffered a rebuff in Paris, and the
outcome is sure to be exceedingly in
teresting. Heretofore the Paris municipal
council has always been a truculent body,
but with the council pulling one way
and the government another, stirring
times are probably in store for Paris ans.
Throughout the day great animation
prevailed in the ACCOMPLISHMENTS where
the polling took place, and the returns
show that a record number of electors
went to the voting booths. An amusing
feature was the struggle between the
rival candidates to have every inch of
available wall space smothered with Their
own manifeStoes There was a continual
procession of ballot stickers, who cover
ed up the posters of their rivals, only to
have their own covered in turn.
One candidate had a thousand bills
printed bearing the words This is a lie -
These were plastered above the posters
containing the address of his opponent.
Intense excitement prevailed during the
evening on Boulevard Montmartre, where
a crowd of 1000 collected in front of the
bureau of the Nationalist and anti-Jewish
organ, La Libre Parole, to learn the re-
suits. These were shown on an illuminat-
ed transparency erected on a balcony of
the bureau. Between the announcement of
results portraits of Paul de Roulede and
of anti-Nationalists were thrown on the
screen.
The portrait of De Roulede was greet
ed with frantic cheering, but the others
brought forth loud hooting and kissing.
Finally the proceedings became. so up
roarious that strong detachments of po-
lice were summoned, and the space along
| the boulevards, in the neighborhood of
the offices of La Libre Parole, was clear
| ed and the adjacent streets were Gordon
| ed. This measure led to several conflicts
| between the crowds and the pol CO. but
| there was nothing of a serious nature At
| midnight bands of Nationalists were
parading the streets, crying '+Vive De
! Roulede!' ''Vive Parmee!' "a bas les
| Juifs!''

Causing Good Deal of Conjecture
Among South Dakota POpuIists.
SIOUX FALLS, s. D., May 13.-(spe-
cial.)-Since the adjournment of the Popu-
list national convention much speculation
has been indulged in as to the real reason
why Senators Butler and Pettigrew were
so earnest in agitating that the conven-
ton nominate a candidate for the vice
presidency, against the express wishes of
Senator Allen and other personal repre-
sentatives of William J. Bryan, whose
cause it may affect.
One theory advanced Is that the object
of Senators Pettigrew and Butler is to
use Mr.. Towhe simply for trading pur-
poses, undoubtedly without his being a
party to the alleged scheme. Both SEN
ators are candidates for reelection to
the United States senate and have bitter
nights before them. A good campaign
fund will be a necessity in their cam
palgns, and, according to the theory ad-
vanced, they will at the proper time ap-
proach the Democratic national commit
tee and urge that they be given good
sums out of the Democratic campaign
fund for their respective states, to be
used under their personal direction, and
that in consideration of this and probably
other concessions, such as offices in the
event that Mr.. Bryan is elected president,
they will arrange and accomplish the
withdrawal of Mr.. Towne in favor of the
vice presidential nominee of the Kansas
City convention. It is not believed they
have any hope of inducing the Kansas
City convention to indorse Mr.. ToWne for
vice president, although they may, in fur
therance of their alleged plan, press his
claims upon the Kansas City. convention.
AS Mr. Towne is warm personal friend
of William J. Bryan such a course, an
nounced as in the interest of harmony,
would not be considered strange, and
would put Mr.. Towne in line for some
thing good in case Mr.. Bryan is elected to
the presidency.

WANTS A NEW RECEIVER.
Complications of ST. Cloud Light and
Power COmpany.

Power Company.
ST. CLOUD, May 13.-(SpeciaI) AN ap-
plication has been made by the Minne-
apolis Trust company as trustees of the
second mortgage bond holders of the ST.
Cloud Water, Light and Power company,
to the district court in this city for a
new receiver for the company. An order
to show cause why q receiver should not
be appointed accompanied the applica-
ton. Judge Searle heard the arguments
of the opposing counsel in the case, but
deferred the appointment prayed for.
The condition of the water, light and
power company is a very complicated
one. When the financial crisis of the
company's career was reached a few
months ago, the first and second mort
cages having become due, c. S. Benson:
the erstwhile president of the company
was appointed receiver for the water
works company alone by the federal court
at Minneapolis But While MIR. Benson
is not receiver for the light and power in
terests of the company, which interests
are covered by the same bonds as those
which apply to the water works Inter
ests, all the property which receiver
could take charge of at this time is In
the hands of the present receiver. 1t 1s
upon this ground that D. T. Calhoun. the
company's attorney, opposes the appoint
ment of receiver. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Benson will soon be discharged as
receiver and Judge Searle indicated that
at such time he would consider the ap'
pointment of receiver for the separate
interests of the company.

BIG MINNEAPOLIS PLANT GOBBLED
BY THE NEW AMERICAN
BRIDGE COMPANY
DEATH OF CHAs. E. BRENNAN
Prominent Attorney Passed Away
Yesterday at His Home
in the Mill
City.
ELCEE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
- 20 WASHINGTON AK SOUTH.

Vice President Frank ]. LlewelIyn and
Superintendent Peter Lees, Of the Gill
lette-HerZog Manufacturing company,
confirming the story in regard to the
absorpt on of the Minneapolis plant by
the American Bridge company.
The deal was consummated at midnight
Saturday, and Mr.. Llewellyn has receiv-
ed instructions from the American Bridge
company as to how it wants the plant
run until a permanent board of directors
have been elected. Mr.. Llewelyn and
Mr.. Lees Say that in their opin on the
plant Will continue in Minneapolis, at
least for a year, and both see no rea-
son why it should not continue perman-
entity under the new management
Vice President Llewellyn was of the
opinion that the plant would continue
operating in Minneapolis: He said:
am giving my opinion and that is
all. Nobody knows anything definite yet
and if the temporary president were to
make statement of the affair he would
be simply saying what he thought and
what his business foresight prompted m
to say. l do not think the plant will be
moved. In the first place we have ma
terial on hand to last from nine to twelve
months, if we were rushed all the time.
We bought this when it was cheaper,
anticipating the raise that came Now if
the plant were removed all tn 6 material
would nave to be moved to some other
concern, and the cost would be such that
all profit on our foresight would be lost
and this concern is not in for losing any
thing when it can be helped
Il received instructions last night from
the American Bridge company relative to
the way in which the books of the factory
should be kept and in regard to the
men in our employ, and that is all 1 have
heard
I'VE have many orders ahead that will
take US a long time to fill, and we could
not close the factory without refusing to
take more orders, and to do this would be
to let our raw material on hand go to
waste or pay high freight on it. We
started in with a capitalization of about
$4,000, and the plant has had wonder
ful growth. It has spread out all over
the country, and l think that its connec-
tion with the American Bridge company
will not lessen its abilities, but rather in
crease them. For these and many other
reasons I think that the plant will con-
tinue running in Minneapolis for a year
at the least.
THE American Bridge company went
into operation a week ago Friday, and it
takes in twenty-five plants throughout the
country.

work, assisted by members of the ex-
pertinent station staff. Probably an av-
evage of five year have been held.
Ihere is state department of agricul-
ture and labor, but in the past it mas had
no direct relation with institute work;
but the last legislature appointed an as
slstant dairy commissioner who is di-
rector OF institute work, and appropriated
$1,000 for the expenses of the Institutes
Tor the biennial period. The law went
into effect July 1, 1889
The state legislature had authorized the
board of control Of the State Agricultural
College of South Dakota to provide for
holding farmers Institutes in 1891, but
appropriated no funds for the purpose
Accordingly, the trustees directed the
faculty of the college to provide pro-
grammes and arrange for a series. of
1lVe Institutes during December and jan
uary 1892. AS no funds We're appro-
priated, consequently all expenses had to
be met by the communities where insti-
tutes were desired. The college printed
roster of its officers who could take
part in the institute work, with the sub
ject which they wished to discuss. Com
munities that desired institutes applied
directly to the. college. All Institutes are
now under the auspices of the State
Agricultural college. There is a director
of the farmers Institutes, who is paid
by the state appropriation. The number
of institutes is not limited About thirty
are held each year. Any section in
which sufficient interest obtains can have
provided for 1T an institute by making
application to the director. The last leg
islature appropriated $1,000 for the insti-
tutes. This is for one year.
PENNSYLVANIA IN LINE.
The appropriation in Pennsylvania for
institute work was 81 600 in 1885, which
increased each year until it reached
$1,000 in 1892, with the addition of $15OO
for expenses of members Of the state
board Of agriculture in attending meet
ings. Each county agricultural society
elected a member of the state board, and
each member was responsible for the in
stitutes and expenditures of funds in his
district.
The institutes are now held under the
direction of the deputy secretary Of agri-
culture, who is, under the law, the di-
rector Of institutes. Last year 3O5 in
stitutes were held in this state the to-
tai attendance being over $4,000. The
meetings are distributed according to the
number of farms in each county; two
days institute to every county having
not over 1000 farms, three days instl-
tute to each county having more than
LOCO and not over 1,5G0; afterwards one
day for each 1,500 farms or fraction
thereof additional The legislature has
appropriated $125OO per year for insti-
tutes, all Of which is available for the
carrying on of the work. There is a
state department of agriculture, COM
posed of a secretary, deputy secretary,
who is director of Institutes, dairy and
food commissioner, forestry commission
er, veterinarian and economic zoOlogist.
The institute work is very thoroughly or
ganized j. S. Van Antwerp.
