FINANCIAL BILL AGREEMENT
REPUBLICAN CONFEREES ABOUT
 FINISH THEIR WORK.
Two Matters Only Unsettled-Thcy Arc tho Senate Ariiendment Relating to Bonded Indebtedness and the Inter. national BImeta1lic Clausc-OutIook on These Very Satisfactory.

on Ihese Very Satisfactory.
 I Washington, Feb. 22.-The republi-
 can conferees on the financial bill af-
 ter being together for seven hours to-
 day practically completed their work.
 full agreement having been reached on all the points at issue save the senate amendment relating to the refunding of the bonded indebtedness and the inter- national bimetallic clause and on these
 the outlook was that satisfactory ar-
 rangement would be reached to-nor- row. The concurrence was SO complete that the senate conferees proposed to
 call In the democratic members, but
 the republicans were not quite ready for this step.
 Already, however, most of the ina- portant questions have been disposed of and complete agreement reached
 on the language by which the gold
 standard is established proved less dif- ficult than was at first anticipated.
 While the provision in the house and senate bills were the same in principle they differed entirely in working and after some consideration the senate provision commended itself to the cons ferees of both houses
 The differences as to the maintenance of gold reserve was also satisfactor- fly adjusted. The senate provision calls for a reserve of definite amount, namely, s150,OOO,O0O, while the house. provision did not fix a definite sum, but made the reserve 25 per cent. of the outstanding notes. On this question, also, the senate provision met with most favor because of it's definiteness4 The house conferees insisted, however, that the senate section be so changed as to provide for a division of issue and redemption in the treasury as was originally provided in the house section relating to a gold reserve
 Agreement also has been reached on the provision for national banks with small capital, and also for the issue of bank-note circulation up to the par value of bonds deposited. The senate bill provided that no notes should be do away with the limitation of $10 and issued below $1O, but it was arranged to to provide that the small notes of $5 and under should be kept up to the volume of circulation, about s390,000,000. The IGluuulHS PIUVl5lOu OL llIc 5clldIS p4il proved more difficult to settle, and up to the close of the conference tonight no actual agreement had been made, al- though compromise was in sight.
 A new form of the provision was pres pared which retains the principle of re- funding. The house conferees declined to accept the senate provision as to an bimetallic conference, but the chances seem rather more favorable to it's retention than it's rejection.

 The British have occupied Barkly West. London, Feb. 23.-The Daily News has the following despatch from Modder River, dated Wednesday afternoon, February 21:
 "The Boer forces under General Cronje are estimated at 5000 men. At 12 o'clock he asked an armistice of twenty-four hours, which was refused. Later he sent a messenger to say that he would surrender. The British gen. eral sent reply telling him to come into camp. Cronje refused, saying there had been a misunderstanding and that he would fight to the death The bombardment was then reopened, and our lyddite shells set fire to the Boer wagons. We continued shelling the laager throughout the night, and in the morning we resumed with MaXims and rifles, principally from the north side.
 'On Sunday there was much waste of life in attacking, and the same result will be achieved without it. During Monday night seven Boers made an at tempt to break through our lines, but
 
 killed. Four were carrying letters. It is believed that there was one other who got through. Other prisoners say that General Cronje marched from Ma gersfontein here without outspanning, distance of thirty-three miles. Had he succeeded in escaping it would have been one of the finest performances in the annals of war The Canadians made a gallant charge at the laager, but were driven back with loss. General Mac- Donald and General Knox are slightly wounded.'
 The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: General Cron- je's request for an armistice was mere dodge to gain time to make trenches. Lord Kitchener refused, but gave him half an hour to consider whether he would surrender internationally or fight to finish. The Boers having said that their intention had been misunderstood and that they would fight to the end, the battle was resumed"
 The Times has the following from Paardeberg dated February 21: We have expelled 300 Boers from an isolat- ed kopje about a mile southeast of Gen. eral Cronje's laager."

A Financial Success.

The fair under the auspices of I'M

in blaze of glory. 1t is conceded to
have been the most successful parish

energetic assistants. The dining de-
partment proved a veritable bonanza,
the credit of which is entirely due to
Miss Crocker, Mrs. McGuinness and
the ladies' who attended the guests.
The cooking was superb and could not
have been improved by the chefs at
Delmonico or the West.
Entertainments were given every
evening of the week, and among the
distinguished visitors OH Friday night
were Mayor Gray and w. J. Dean,
both of whom were generous to the
candidates for prizes. The ladies in
charge of the booths did remarkably
well. The Foresters and Young La

Numbered out on Bridge Square, dur
ing the strike Of the street car men, de-
fiance against the opprcssors Of labor,
and gave the striking men great sue
cor and courage. His attitude ever
since has been just the same. In the
court rooms, as well as in the halls
Of legislation, his voice has always
been lifted in the interest Of labor,
and he has well deserved the sobri-
quet which is now freely accorded him,
"the laboring mems lawyer" John
w. Arctander is not only one Of the
leaders of the bar of Minneapolis, but
is generally conceded by the lawyers
of the state and surrounding states,
that he has no superior and few equals
as Il lawyer IN the whole Northwest
His record is most enviablc. During
his practice III this state for the last
% years he has tried nearly 5000
cases, and Of this number has lost less
than $50. During the last ten years
he has argued 43 cases in the Supreme
| Court, and lost only six of thcm,--a
record which we doubt can he cqua'lcd
or approached by any other attorney
in the state. More titan this, he has
accomplished the rare feat Of causing
| the Supreme Court of the state to rc-
verse it's own decision in not less than
| five cases.
He can beast of the proud record of
never having tried n case for a cor
poration against n worllingman.
He has conducted more than 800
damage suits for poor working men
and their families, and has collected
for them in such cases nearly one
quarter of n million dollars.
He believes fully in the motto Of
our great leader, William Jennings
Bryan: equal rights to all, special
privileges to none'
For number of years he held the
chair Of lecturer on Commercial Law
in the first Catholic University Of Min
nesota, to wit: the st. Johns Univer-
sity, located at Collegeville, few
miles west of st. Cloud; and he not
only gave to this great Catholic Uni
versity his valuable services rs law
lecturer ,gratuitously, but also secured
through his influence the services of
the Supreme Court Justice l.. w. Col
Inns, and District Court Judge d. i.
Searle as lecturers in the same univcr-
! sity on other branches of the law.
He was in the year 1885 created Doc
tor of Laws by the,St. Johns Universe
ty, where his well known brother,
Father George Arctander, who is now
the assistant pastor Of St. Charles
parish of this city, was student. We
do not doubt for n moment that every
Irish American citizen will deem it a
privilege to cast his vote on election
day for the Hon. John w. Arctandcr
for Judge Of the district court.

Democratic ticket are men unsurpassed
in every particular. Mayor Gray will
be reelected. His administration of
the city's affairs for the past two years
entities him to another term, there
fore the Irish Standard heartily en-
dorses his candidacy. John o. Davis,
for city comptroller will fill every re-
quirement if elected. He Is capable
and honest and just the man to seelct
as watch dog of the treasury" but
for the next two years the people will
have no cause to worry about the city
funds If Julius J. Heinrich is chosen
by the voters as city treasurer. Mr.
Heinrich's record as man of business
and as an honest and capable official
is already known to the voters. The
whole city ticket should be elected.
In the first ward Democracy is now
thoroughly united and working in har-
mony for John Ryan. the nominee of
the party for alderman. This insures
his triumphant election. Now that
this result is to be achieved let tha
voters of the first turn out solidly and
make it strong, from Bryan to Ryan.
Nothing less than 1000 plurality for
the whole ticket is what is expected
from the first ward. The second ward
will give Harris +. Stone a large vote.
He stands Il good chance Of election.
In the third ward Peter Mitchell will
be elected alderman by a large major
ity if the Democrats turn out next

Mitchell in the city council, and the
