'Hit Honor" wag seen today and asked if such wat the case. His reply wat that Le Las taken tha matter un der advisement and it not prepared at present to state what Le intends to do, and that as Le Lai five days for considering the resolution after it Las been presented to Lim Le will lake Lib time and investigate fully before approving or vetoing it. It having been tanned Ly different persons that the price aked for the ot is too high, and unadvisable at the price at present, a numberof citij-ns were to give their opinion upon the subject. u.

Stroud taid the price asked is outrageous about twice at much as the property it worth; that the terms proposed are not advantageous to the ity: ana that it be verv unwise for the city to close the bargain. jicnjamiu I'oii-iiiy was oi tne opin ion that the city ought to have the property. The price, he said, might be a little too high, but in his opinion it woui'l be aavi-aMe to Luv. K. Hutchinson expressed the belief that the bet and only thing the city can do is to buy the proiierty.

la his opinion there is no other locality in the ward equal to it and though the price might be a little too high be did not object to it. E. P. inch considered the price too high. In fact nearly twice as much as the land is worth.

A. E. Thompson said: ''If the city don't want that lot I shou'J like very much to have the opportunity of pur basing it for VWO- I havn't any thing to say one way or the other about the lot excepting that 1 would like to buy it for Y0OO. ill. 11.

13. Jackson was in clined to think that the city should have the property, and that as the op portunity is a good one it would be well to improve it. It. I Kussell was not slow to say that the price was too high and that he would want to look arouDd care fully for Another site before voting to tax the people tor the amount asked. He conld remember when the lots in front of the present school building and fronting on Algoma street were purchased at a cost of j.

J. J. Moore stated plainly that he believed the price aiked to be entirely too high. Ossian Cook thought hc purchase would be tbe best thing pos sible for the city. If be were an al derman, he claimed, he would wil lingly vote for buying the property.

leauuer Lhoate unl not Know but all things considered the price was a iittle too high, but taking all things into consideration he was in favor of tbe action of the school board and thought it would be a fine thing for tbe city to own the property. Joseph Porter, Judge Burnell and others of the First ward were asked to express an opinion, but on the ground of not having given any attention to the matter they refused to say anything about it. tuossE voi it EE 11.

14 The to tai amount bt beer manufactured in La Crosse county the past year was barrels against 6H.449 barrels for lSSt. a falling off of 6.9-.U barrels. There is a decrease of over 5,000 barrels. This is due the Republican states not to any decreased capacity. lor that has been increased, but to a decreased demand from the west.

The prohibition sentiment has become strong in many localities and trade has dropped. The outlook for the present vear is none of the best and it is oof unlikely that tbe brewing for 1S6 will fall short of 1Sj. La Crosse beer is finding new markets everv year and this may result in increasing the product for ltt. but while the output may reach 73,000 barrels the lowest estimate of a minimum ro il uel is w.uuu.

The trouble that led to this action was the vioption of what the cigar manuTac turers association consider to be a un iforro rate of prices and with which the employes of factories controlled by the association are dissatisfied.

Tkel'nion ordered Levy Bros. employes to strike as a test cast, becairso if one manufacturer yielded others will do likewise, providing the association so orders. To morrow forenoon a couferencu will be held between the committee of strikers and the manufacturers' association with a view of settling the matter.

It it dillicult to get the number killed, on account of the intense excitement which prevails, but is thought a dozen are entomed. At 7 last night the following bodies bad been dug out of one of the slopes: Mr. Jume9, aged leaves a wife and three children; Frank Eck, aged 30, leaves a wife and one child; Geo. L. Miller, sged 21, single.

The appearance of the dead bodies showed that the men had been suffocated. When found they were in an upright position, with tools in their hands. Large gangs of men have been put to work to rescue others entombed in the slope which is nearly 3t0 feet deep. The cause of the cave-in can. not be accounted for at the mine was odc of the best in this region.

They have not taken a fanatic course, nor do they propose to create any strife if it can be avoided.

II Tie ad journmcnt of the bouse fur several days past at one o'clo without transacting biAinest ami on a pretext of giving the committees time for work in rather transparent.

The real reason that no work being doue is the timidity of the anti silver men on the democratic aide over the reference of the president's message to the various committees. There are three committees to whom that part of the message referring to the suspension of coinage of silver may be refcrcd. The fate of the issue might depend on its reference to one or the other of these committees. If it should get to the committee on coinage, of which Mr. lilund is chairman, tiic silver men would scorn a great victory.

If it should go to the committee on banking and currency the matter would be greatly in doubt, Gov. Curtin having declined to act at chairman of that committee, it will Dot le organized for a week or ten days. Besides these two references a third it possible and some quiet work it being done to effect it. Mr. Morrison is greutly afraid of a of silver men on til side of the bouse, and is laboring to get control of silver legislation by having The silver clauses of the president's message referred to the ways and means committee.

On this oucs-tinn, strange at it may seem, the iian-dall umjx are helping Morrison. MARINO CHAIIOKS Senator Edmunds bolds that fell information received from departments in regard to suspension of federal officials for offensive partisanship may be made public. The only reservation to be made is that tho names of persons making charges and accusations against sus'ndcd of ficinls must not be made public. This will allow a good deal of interesting reading matter to be printed in the ourse of the next few day. WISCONSIN POST AST IKS.

W. Pailey, general land inspector for the district of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakota and Montana, has made a report on the condition of land interests in the Duluth land district which is of importance. Commit sioner Sparks in hit annual report recommended that the timber of Northern Minnesota be held in a res- fc ervation for i's climatic efficacy. Mr. Paisley urges that it be told at public sales and that the homestead and preemption laws be repealed in that district.

Jan. 14. Piatt presented a petition from commercial travelers praying for legislation to relieve them of the burden of taxation. Beck said there bad come to him (he did Dot know why) several peti tions to be presented to the Senate urging Congress to suspend silver coinage. He had declined to present such petitions and had returned them to the persons sending them.

He pursued that course because be believed sending such petitions had been influenced by a letter marked "confidential" sent out by a committee of the New York board of trade and transportation. Beck read a copy of the letter. It asks the recipient to write a personal letter to Speaker Carlisle urging him to refrain from placing extreme silver men on the coinage committee and personal letters to senators and representatives urging suspension of silver coinage.

14. On behalf of the claims committee, Springer called up a resolution directing that committee to enquire into the expediency of the passage of general laws for the ascertainment of factsln all private measures by judicial tribunal before action by Congress and also the propriety of prohibiting adjudication of private claims or relief measures by Congress. Springer stated the object of the resolution wag to have a way to some legislation which would relieve Congress from the great and unnecessary burden of private claims. Tucker (of Va.) said while he had no objection to the purport of itie resolution, he contended that it referred to a matter over which tho Judiciary committee had jurisdiction and he offered an amendment providing the inquiry shall by conducted by tho committee on Judiciary. The amendment was agreed to and the resolution as amended was adopt td.

On behalf of the committee on presidential luws Caldwell called up the Hoar presidential succession bill and tig them were but a few minutes of the morning hour remaining It wag agreed that the debate should continue during the afternoon, Caldwell reserving the right to call the previous question at any time. Caldwell stated the committee had not dealt with Indifference or disrespect with other propositions before it. There were many measures proposed that would more properly meet all the possible and imaginable exigencies than the one now reported, but all required a constitutional amendment before they could become laws, and a constitutional amendment involved a delay which would ill accord with tho reasonable anxiety which tho body of tho people felt. There were many exigencies which the pending measure did not cover, but the present exigency it completely covered. It was a temporary bridge thrown across the chasm in or der to meet the public demand, and would be followed In due timo by an enduring structure over which a long line of republican and democratic presidents might march in unbroken succession.

Hooper and othtr gentlemen of prominence, appear to believ that the plan will be carried out. They consider that at the eve of a general rise in the prir.t of building materials and the of labor is at hand, and it is therefore their opinion that if the erection the hotel is commenced at once building can be constructed at a cost which will be from to tld.UtJ less than the cost if the project tlmuM be delayed six months or a yeur.

If this road were built the Northwestern Co. would have ai most an air line from Chicago to Madison and be relieved of the neces sity of making the detour via Harvard Junction, Caledonia and Afton.

Beloit and all other stations from Harvard Junction to and including Magnolia, loca ted on the line via Caledonia, are dead set against the proposed exten sion, because if it is constructed they will then not be on the trunk line as now, between Chicago and St. Paul but on the other hand, will be side tracked as it were.
