THE XETV SECRETARY. Prof. Pjiei.i»s, the newly-elected secretary of the chamber of commerce, made a good impression on the business men of or.r city who assembled yesterday morning to listen to his Inaugural address, lie seemed i to have a clear conception of the duties of his place and a proper appreciation of what is to be expected of him in the discharge of those duties. The two subjects chiefly discussed by him relating to industrial educa! tion and the formation of a manufacturing syndicate are unquestionably the two foremost issues in the city's development. The professor's views in regard to the methods of imparting industrial education are somewhat novel, yet none the less worthy of consideration.

His idea is to commence in the primary schools, instead of connecting the manual school with the higher departments or making it separate from the common school system. Commence with the little children and educate the eye and the hand to keep pace with the progress of intellectual development. His own experience with this system of industrial teaching is worth a good deal, and his opinions will doubtless have proper weight with the educational authorities of the city. His views in regard to the organization of a manufacturing syndicate are eminently sound, and are in accord with the sentiment of our business men who have the development of the city at heart. As Mr.

Cociiras remarked in. chamber of commerce meeting yesterday, manufacturing is the one thing needful in St. Paul. The Globe has heretofore pointed out the necessity for building up manufactories in our midst to make complete our position as the leading city of the leading section of the American Union. The scheme which has been proposed to organize a syndicate for the purpose of aiding in the establishment of various manufacturing enterprises is the most practical method that could be devised to inaugurate the movement.

If Prof. Phelps will now devote his energies, of which he seems to have an ample supply, to bringing the scheme to a successful consummation, he will have realized the fullest expectation of his friends and will make for himself a name to be held in eternal remembrance by the people of St. Paul. THE LVDIAX BILL. Senator Dawks has introduced a bill into the senate which proposes to divide a portion of the reservation of the Sioux Indians in Dakota into separate reservations, and to secure the relinquishment of the Indian title to the remainder.

The bill proposes to set apart the following tract of land for a permanent reservation for the Indians receiving rations and annuities at the Pine Ridge agency, namely: Beginning at the intersection of the 103 meridian of longitude with the northern boundary of the state of Nebraska; thence north along said meridian to the south fork of Cheyenne river, and down said stream to the mouth of Rapid creek; thence in an easterly direction along the northern edge of the Bad lands to the mouth of Pass creek, on White river; thence up the Pass creek southerly to the source of its principal branch; thence due south to said north line of the state of Nebraska; thence west on said north line to the place of beginning. Also the following tract of land situate in the state of Nebraska, namely: Beginning at a point on the boundary line between the state of Nebraska and the territory of Dakota where the range line between ranges 44 and 45 west of the Cth principal meridian, in the territory of Dakota, intersects said boundary line; thence east along said boundary line five miles; thence due south rive miles; thence due west ten miles; thence duo north to said boundary line; thence due east along said boundary lino to the place of beginning. The following are given as the boundaries of the Rosebud agency reservation: Commencing in the middle channel of the Missouri river opposite the mouth of White river; thence down the middle channel of said Missouri river to the south line of Brule county; thence west on the south line of Brule county to the west line of said county, including, however, entirely within said reservation all islands, if any, in said river; thence due south to the 43d parallel of latitude; thence west along said parallel of latitude to a point due south from the source of the principal branch of Pass Creek; thence due north to the said source of Pass creek; thence down said creek to the White river; thence down White river to the place of beginning in the Missouri river. The Standing Rock reservation to be bounded by the following lines: Beginning at a point in the center of the mam channel of the Missouri river opposite the mouth of the Cannon Ball river; thence down said center of the main channel to a point teu miles north of the mouth of the Moreau river, including, also, within said reservation all islands, if any, in said river; thence due west to the 102ud degree of west longitude; thence north along said meridian to its intersection with the south branch of Cannon Ball river, known as Cedar creek; thence down said river to its intersection with the main Cannon Ball river, and down said river to the beginning. The Cheyenne river agency reservation is to have the following boundaries: Beginning at a point in the center of the main channel of the Missouri river ten miles north of the Moreau river at the southeasterly corner of Standing Rock reservation; thence down said center of the main channel of the Missouri river, including also entirely within said reservation all islands, if any, in said river, to a point opposite the mouth of the Cheyenne river; thence west to said Cheyenne river, and up the same to its intersection with the 102 meridian of longitude; thence north along said meridian to its intersection with a line due west from a point in the Missouri river ten miles north of the mouth of the Moreau river; thence due east to the place of beginning.

The Lower Brule reservation begins on the Missouri river at Old Fort George; thence running due west to the western boundary of Presho county: thence south to 44th degree of latitude; thence to western boundary of township 72; thence south on said township line to an intersecting line running due west from Fort Lookout; thence eastwardly on said line to center of Missouri river at Fort Lookout; thence north in center of main channel of to the beginning. The Crow Creek reservation embraces the whole of township 106, range 70; township 107, range 71; township 105, range 71; township 108, range 72; township 103, range 72, "and township 107, range 70, except sections 1, 2, 3. 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12, and such parts as lie on the east or left bank of the Missouri river of the following townships, to-wit: Township 106, range 71; township 107, range 72; township 108, range 73; township 108, range 74; township 108, range 75; township 108, range 76; township 109, range 73; township 109, range 74; township 109, range 75; township 109, range 76, and township 107, range 73; also the west half of township 106, range 69, and sections 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30. 31, 33 and 33 of township 107. range 69.

Allotments are to be made to members ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, TUESDAY" MOTtNIXG, DECEMBER 15, 1885. of the Sioux tribe ia Nebraska, nnd also to tho Flandreau band in Moody county in Dakota. The bill also provides that the president, whenever in his opinion it is advantageous to do so, to cause tho reservations to be surveyed or any part of them, and allot tho lands in said reservations in severalty to the Indians located thereon, giving to each head of a family one-quarter of a section, to single person over 18 years of age oneeighth of a section; to each orphan child under 18 years of use one-eighth of a section, and to any other person now living or who may be born prior to the date of the order of the president directing an allotment, one-sixteenth of an acre. The bill farther provides that the benefits of education secured to the Indians under the existing laws should be continued in force for twenty years.

The secretary of the interior is authorized to purchase from time to time, for tiie use of the Indians, lirstclass American breeding cows, not exceeding 25,000 in number, and bulls of like quality, not exceeding 1.000 in number. And a sum of money, not to exceed 51, 000,000, shall be appropriated and deposited in the treasury of the United States to the credit of the Sioux nation as a permanent fund, and the interest, at 5 per to be applied, one-half for the promotion of industrial education among the Indians, and the other half to be expended by the Interior department in such way as shall most contribute to the advancement of said Indians in civilization and self-support. The bill also provides that all the Indian land acquired by the provisions of the act, except American island, shall be disposed of by the United States to actual settlers only, under the provisions of the homestead laws of the United States, at the price of 50 cents per acre, to be paid in four equal annual installments. The right is reserved to congress and to the territory of Dakota to grant to railroad companies the right of way through said lands. American island is donated to the city of Chamberlain and Farm island is likewise donated to Pierre, to be used as public parks.

As the Dawes bill is the first definite outline of our future Indian policy its progress through congress will be watched with peculiar interest, and if it becomes a law, as it most likely will, it will embrace the policy which will be pursued toward all the Indian tribes. RIGHT KIND OF KXTERPIUSfi. When au iron manufacturing company went to Fargo and asked for 815,000, to aid iv starting a foundry at that place, the enterprising people of the prairie city planked it right down. The iteople of Fargo know how to build up their city. Manufactories are permanent elements of prosperity.

The dividends may not always be so great as in some other investments, but they give employment to a body of people who are large consumers. The money spent in the management of manufacturing establishments flows back into the community in a perpetual stream, benefiting all classes. The people of Fargo are wise in their day and generation, and their example of enterprise is commended to the people of our own city who are now projecting a similar enterprise on a larger scale. A fund of at this time for the purpose of aiding in the establishment of manfactories iv St. Paul would be wonh more to the city in the way of promoting its advancement and establishing its prosperity on an enduring basis than all the money that has heretofore been expended.

This may sound a little extravagant to those who have not given the subject careful consideration, but it is capable of demonstration. GATHERED TO TIIEIU FATHERS. The old landmarks are passing away. The men who were prominent in public life a quarter of a century ago are rapidly disappearing. The issues which made them famous are dead.

It is meet that the men who created the issues should pass away with them. Gratz Bkown, an original Southern abolitionist, is dead. Koijert Toombs, an original Southern secessionist, is dying. Slavery is dead. Secession Is dead.

The men who stood with Gratz Brown on the one side and with Bob Toombs on the other have mostly passed out of sight. They were not in sympathy with the reorganized political conditions of this day. Like old war horses long ago mustered out of service, they have been standing apart, uninterested spectators of the scenes around them, waiting for the shadows to grow a little larger that they may quietly pass out of view. As they drop one after another by the wayside, we tenderly lay them to rest, remembering the good they have done iv the generations gone by and willingly forgetting the evil that their mistaken views brought upon the country. THE PIEKHE EXTEXSIOX.

In yesterday's Globe was printed a diagram of the proposed extention of the Minneapolis St. Louis railway line from St. Paul to Pierre and beyond, together with a statement of the rich developments which would be made in the section of country penetrated by this line. In addition to these facts the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis have a direct interest in lending encouragement to the project.

While we have a connection with Pierre, we want one that shall be distinctly kuown as tha St. Paul line, and which by its directness will bring this city into communication with the fertile country lying in that direction, so that its trade may be di vetted from Chicago and brought to our own doors, where it legitimately belongs. It is important that the business men of St. Paul direct their attention to the proposition and give it their study. TIIK SOCIALISTIC PROBLEM.

article on Socialism in last Sunday's Globe has attracted the interest it was entitled to, coming as it did from a most profound student of all questions affecting the social status of the human race and one of the clearest thinkers of the day, it was natural to expect that the radical views advanced by would not only arouse public attention to the subject he discusses, but would likewise provoke criticism. The Globe publishes this morning a well-written reply to article from a correspondent who also wields a trenchant pen. The socialistic problem is one of the live issues of the day, and the readers of the Globe will I doubtless enjoy its dissection at the hands of such skilful disputants as the gentlemen who are now discussing it through oar i columns. will be beard from again. THE KEILEY MATTER.

The correspondence relating to the Keiley appointment, which was laid before the senate yesterday, will elevate Mr. Bayard in the estimation of the American people. His letter in reply to the note of the Austrian government is a dignified assertion of American rights and a clear exposition of our constitution and laws respecting the maintenance of religious freedom. When i the Austrian governmeut objected to Mr. Keilet on the ground that his wife was a Jewess it was a direct insult to American institutions, and the administration did right when it resented it as such.

As long as the senate's stationery bill was confined to tooth picks and curry combs the American people bore it patiently. But now that it is made up of castor oil and quinine pills, a cyclone of public discontent will be the result. The president has been listening to masses for the repose of the soul of King Auhonso. The public is already aware that president now in the. White housu is the first who has listened to the mattes for many long year.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. A 11101 M.V tlie Socialistic Problem. To the Editor of the Globe: There lire some controversies, most of them moral, lint not quite all, upon men find what we may call their Intellectual iuatiucts quite us sure a guide as their reason, and a much quicker one. Now, I surmise that It. 0." the author of the editorial in Sunday's Globe, dealing 1 with the Socialistic problem, has cleared his mind of that most misleading of prejudices, that the great new forces which he hopes for are not necessarily potent factors In solving 1 the question of socialism.

Now I have studied the subject of socialism in all its different colors and local aspects. One can scarcely live in the largo cities of the old world without so doing. K. C. defines socialism as "dissatisfaction with the existing social order." I shall take this definition as being a fair one, and utterly reject the oftrepeated idea of socialism as a desire to plunder the rich, or of class hatred, or of a passion for levelling, and try to show how utterly at variance with common sense is the present theory of the social reformer.

Enthusiasts or unbalanced minds may propose dangerous schemes, but those which a nation aocepts, it accepts on moral grounds, because its conscience has become sensitive may bo, unduly to the evils attending the existing system of relations between labor and capital. There is undoubtedly an awakening of the public conscience to the moral aspects of many sides of our Industrial rising doubts, less as to the efficiency of existing organizations for producing woalth, than as to their compatibility with the human requirements of improving civilization. K. C. points out the fact of the high "social position, attainments and wealth" with which the leaders of socialism are credited.

The foremost of tho leaders is Henry George. He has all the qualities which K. C. gives these philanthropists. Let us look at his scheme for relieving tho distress of the "wageworkers." The greatest fallacy of the Socialists is their belief that by drastic measures they can relieve the pecuniary distress the world over.

Many years ago there were a few misled financiers in who believed that by a proper application of compound interest a sum of money could be made to increse of itself until it extinguished the national department. Mr. Henry George is wasting his persuasiveness and unusual mental abilities on a scheme no less absurd. In order to relieve the pecuniary distress that troubles the working classes, Mr. George advises the confiscation of all lands by the legislature.

All lands, including forests and mines, to be taken without any compensation being given. Every squaro inch of land in the country to be taken, but the houses to remain in the hands of the owners. Why? Because anything a man creates is sacred property; and Mr. George admits that he creates his house. But if he creates his house does he not create his mines also? Are not the forests his sacred property? Has he not for centuries stimulated their growth, protected them, and, in some cases, created them? He found material tor his mines and created them.

Yet this champion of socialism draws a distinction. Mr. George would have all the profits produced by the soil confiscated by the government, and these profits devoted to extinguishing poverty by giving direct gifts of cash. Were Ito go into details it would only weary my readers, but I think that this much will show every sensible workiugman that such schemes as are proposed by this leader of socialism can only be considered by demagogues and idlers. I believe Mr.

George and his followers have the sympathy of the poor and intend to be their friends. But they are sadly misled, and the true friend of the poor is he who points out the hopeless impracticability of any such schemes. Mr. George's scheme would help the rich and harm the poor. His system would control the spending power of the wealthy and drive all capital from the land.

The mass of mankind were poor when the pyramids were built, and will be poor when they have rotted; and the true philanthropist is the man who so organizes the world that poverty shall not involve misery, not ho who strives for the impossibility that poverty shall cease to be. K. C. further says: "How to remove this growing antagonism of the laboring classes to the present order of things is, strictly speaking, 'The Socialistic The Socialist declares that the only satisfactory solution Is to give to the wageworker an equitable portion of the economic goods which he helps to produce. Since this claim is not likely to be granted as long as competition and free contract prevail, he would have the government placed in possession of all the agencies of production and distribution and reward equitably those who operate these agencies." Now, admitting that it is right deliberately to risk commercial and industrial advantage for the sake of reforming social abuses and receiving social benefits, and- see where it brings us.

The impulse is moral, though its effective operation would be smothered over by two little noticed causes, the decay, the extraordinary decay, of distrust in the government, and the increase, the very rapid increase, in the dangers caused by the jostling which accompanies our civilization. The majority, feeling that it rules the government, has ceased to dread the government, and though it criticises the government's agents, will trust the government to do anything it wants done, great or small, will make the government its teacher and its banker, as well as the mentor ami protector of its children. principle having a moral foundation, why not let the Socialists give it a trial? Because you would have as the first result the overworking of the government. You would find a sad want of impartiality in that government, which, when once raised to supreme social control, would ultimately represent the opinion and Interests of a single class- the wage workers. Tho enormous expense would have to be raised by taxes.

Enterprise would be withered, and government business would, for the sake of the taxpayer, become a monopoly. In fact, a discouraging and unparalleled line of failure would be certain to follow. Our national character would suffer grave injury by the extension of government interference. Every additional transfer of duties to tho government weakens the belief of the community in the value of natural liberty. If the protection of one class of individuals is entrusted to a public department, no sooner do difficulties arise before another class than similar protection is asked for and rightfully expected.

The convictions that self-reliance and the conflict of interests are elements of power and success is weakened at every turn, and public opinion discharges individual responsibility from its duties in one department after another of our social life and industrial pursuits. The reality of such dangers cannot be denied, and the risk is heightened by the obvious difficulty of retracing steps taken under such conditions. It is one thing to place a trade or class under government protection. It is a very different thing to withdraw it, especially if moral considerations have prompted the original act. Trade might long be paralyzed, capital expelled, wages lowered and the national interests jeopardized before it would be possible to repeal a system of government control, oven if condemned as a failure, in favor of tho restoration of natural These facts are but a few of the many which go to discredit almost every Socialist project.

Leaving argument aside, we come to the facts of what causes success in this life and will soonest result in "pecuniary relief." A man's success in this life can only be attained by his own efforts. It is his own conduct, and, in a less degree, that of the persons with whom he is brought in contact, which makes or loses his fortune. Bad laws, misgovornment and civil trouble have only a small effect on him. There is a certain class, and there always will be, of men who are always trying to get their fortunes from those who have honestly worked for them. This class of men would have the government support them in luxury, paying nothing for it.

To tell them that their failure in life was due to their own follies and errors would be but a waste of words. They clamor for a revision of the social laws, and claim that If the world was remade by man all would be wealthy. The world has lasted longer than most of us, and what has it taught us? That men's wants and luxuries can only be obtained in the development of their own habits of accumulation and labor. "He that will not work, neither shall he eat," is a moral Gospel that should bo learned by every Socialist. William Lee Howard.

The Bntterine Law. To the Editor of the Globe: There seems to be a misapprehension on the part of some people as to the effect of Judge Konn's decision relative to the fourth section of the bntterine law of our state, claiming that his opinion as expressed renders the law unconstitutional. The fact is there was no trial at all. It was an argument on a demurrer to an indictment. The state was debarred from introducing any evidence to show the unwholesome qualities of the article prohibited, and without such evidence Judge Koon followed the rulings of the New York court, which, under similar circumstances, had decided the same law unconstitutional in that state.

On December 5, Judge Simonton of the court of common pleas at Harrisburg, on an appeal from a lower court, decided the same law to be constitutional in Pennsylvania, thus offsetting the New York court decision. When we can send a case to the supreme court on its merits, I will thus have every reason to expect a decision sustaining the law. In the meantime every one. found sell- ing oleomargarine or butterine will have-his name recorded together with the proof of such solo and he will be indicted at the paring term of court. Judge Koon's decision affects Minneapolis only, and in case of a favorable decision from the supremo court, the result will simply bo a delay in prosecutions.

M. C. Howard, Assistant Dairy Commissioner. TALKING ABOUT THE WAR. First Keciuicut of Volunteers-- The Yomitfcht Drummer 12uy.

To the Editor of the (ilolte: Still water, Doc. 11, 1n the "Pea Pictures" in last Sunday's issue of the dr.oBK the reminiscence of C. F. Hausdorf appears, in which there are several glaring i mistakes. I would bo a poltroon, Indeed, to detract one lota from the well-earned honors or Comrade for no men stand higher in I their military record than the few who placed the cap shear upon the already famous record of the "Old First," by participating In that memorable charge at Gettysburg.

The inaccuracy probably occurs In friend Newson's connecting- the First Minnesota and the Minnesota battalion as one regiment, whereas they wero two distinct organizations. I never heard the claim before of being 1 the first In the three months' service. In fact I think I can name a score of regiments that anto-date US there: but wo do stand as the first regiment of volunteers' in the three years' service, and I think probably H. is entitled to the honor of being the first soldier enlisted. on the Union Bide for the three years' service.

Again, I the article leads one to believe that Comrade H. served nearly four and one-half years in the First, and was in command of the regiment for ten months. The facts are i that the regiment served its full term of three years only and was mustered out on the 29th day of April, Ido not think he was ever in command of the regiment for I even one day. The error arises in this way: The Minne- sota battalion was composed of the First, whose term of service did not expire on the 29tb day of April, 1864. To these were added new recruits, which made a total in all of something like 250 men.

These were officered by men from the old First, of which H. was one. With these corrections I believe the article is correct. Now as to your sixteen- year-old drummer boy St. Paul must stand aside for Stillwater.

Muller post has a little drummer boy (six feet one inch and still growing) who served his full term of three years and when mustered out was no older than Mr. Birchor when he first entered the service. Eben Foster's thirteenth birthday was on the Uth day of June, 1862, and on the 13th day of the following Septembei he, with his father, enlisted in the Ninetysecond Ohio regiment, skirmished back and forth through the Kanawa valley during: that fall and winter, finally bringing up at Ft. Donaldson, Murfreesborough, Chattanooga, and participated in an engagement at Hoover's Gap, Nashville, Chickainau- ga. Mission Ridge, Lookout Mountain and At- lanta, besides a number of other engage- i ments.

He was with Sherman on his march to- the pea, and back to Washington, and was one of the smallest drummer boys that beat i time for the grandest review probably ever seen. He was only four feet eleven inches i high when mustered out. He served his term of three years, never had a furlough, never was in the guard house, never received a wound and never lost but one day's duty by reason of sickness. He wears no blue ribbon i as champion drummer, and wo have no fears but that he would if he could be induced to compete for it. One of the "Oxesteks." Not the Man.

To the Editor of the Globe: lobserved in your paper of Sunday a statement from Col. King- that Col. Hausdorf was not the first man in the United States to enlist in the Union army, but that he (King) was. Of course I simply have the statement of Col. Hausdorf as to the facts in the case, and I believe he is honest in his claim, and yet I am glad that the question has been now raised, so that the real facts in the case may go into history correctly.

As Col. King and Col. Hausdorf now have the floor, I withdraw for the present, simply reuarking, that I am always glad to be set right and am always willing to render honor to whom honor is due. T. M.

The prosecutions of the latter on charges of lewd and lascivious conduct have been going on vigorously in the Mormon courts lately the defendants upon conviction in every case appealing to this district court. This morning the United States district attorney refused to prosecute these cases, saying that they had been brought through spite, the accused having been entrapped by Mormons, who hired prostitutes to inveigle susceptible Gentiles. He moved to dismiss the appeals and release the defendants. Chief Justice Zane granted the motion and read a lecture i to the Mormon officials and others who had "put up the job" on the Gentiles. He denounced the conspiracy in strong terms and declared that the prosecu- tion was not in the interest of morality.

The Mormons are much disgusted to-night, i though they say they will go on making ar- i rests. Fatal Quarrel Among Sports. Council, Bluffs, Dec. 14. An-! other case of probable mnrder occurred early this morning in the Chicago house in this city.

A man registered as J. I Hayes of New York yesterday, but had the air of a sporting character. Three other sports, "Major." John Roach and "Patsy." were stopping at the same house. The parties had not long met until the latter picked a quarrel with Hayes. The parties were ordered out.

but about 1 o'clock this morning came back and began to quarrel with Hayes in the office. Hayes was sitting on one side of the room and the others on the other side. Major arose with a 44 calibre revolver and commenced shooting at ayes, the first shot taking effect below the collar bone. The second shot coursed downward and is fatal. George Qerspeher, proprietor of the place, had two fingers shot off while attempting to separate the parties.

The guilty parties escaped while the bystanders were taking care of tho wounded man. The trouble arose out of an old gambling score in Lincoln, Neb.

COST OF Minneapolis Dlakes it More Cheaply 'Mian Pittsburgh A special committee from the St. Paul chamber of commerce which visited Minneapolis on a tour of inspection and investigation, went back thoroughly satisfied that glassware can be made in Minneapolis, and consequently in St. Paul, cheaper than in Pittsburg.

For some time past the Manufacturers' Aid syndicate has been considering the mutter of the profit in Northwestern classmaking, and yesterday afternoon the committee inspected the Minneapolis glass works and was put in possession of the data necessary to their calculations Messrs. C. 11. Lienau, Aid. Joseph Minea, Albert M.

Lawton, Mr. Quirnby and M. Tuttle composed the party. The investigation was thorough and the results were considered reliable. FUEL AND FREIGHTS.

The main point to be considered in local glassmaking is the matter of freights and in consideration therewith, the question breakage. The trade is here and to the west and the theory is that glass can be made here and laid down in local and Western markets to good profit at prices which Piitsburg and Wheeling cannot touch on account of freight rates. The matter of breakage, variously estimated at from 10 to 30 per cuts a conspicuous figure in the same calculations. To affect the freights, it has always been held that Pittsburg, in the advantage of cheap fuel, had an even thing, and it is only now, when it is known that St. Paul and Minneapolis can more than meet the difference in the cost of sand, that profitable glass-making was considered feasible.

Along the banks of the Mississippi is a mine of sand, practically inexhaustible, which contains over 90 per cent, of pure silica, and which can be laid down at any local factory at prices ranging from Si to 81.50 per ton. which scale could doubtless be greatly reduced. North Minneapolis and the banks near Minnehaha now furnish what is required, and its quality has beyond question been amply and thoroughly tested. The chimneys it makes are equal to good flint tableware, and the chimney test is a crucial one. BOXING AND STRAW figure very conspicuously in the difference between Minneapolis and Pittsburg.

The former is 30 per cent, cheaper here, and straw, which is bought here at brings 814 in Pittsburg. Second-hand barrels, i which are bought here for 10 cents, are worth 25 to 23 cents at Pittsburg. the difference for Minneapolis showing a tremendous reduction in the cost of glass-making. Another item is the disposal of cinder and other waste, which here amounts to nothing, but in Pittsburg costs from 25 to 40 cents a ton. Boxes cost here from 11 to 15 cents, which in Pittsburg would bring from IS to 25 cents, while sand, the large ingredient in-glass, costs not less than $4 a ton delivered at Pittsburg.

When better terms are made, during lake navigation, suitable coal can be laid down at Minneapolis at per ton, against $1.00 at Pittsburg. TUB BOTTLE WORKS. The committee called on Mr. J. T.

James of the Minneapolis bottle works, and after inspecting the samples of bottles, received from him a statement of expense, showing he can make bottles at 15 cents a gross cheaper than the same ware can be made at Pittsburg, with the freight charges to be considered as increasing the amount of difference. A carload contains 420 cases or 210 gross of bottles, and figuring 15 cents per gross and 880 per car for freight from Pittsburgh the difference on the car is in favor of Minneapolis. Mr. James pays Si. 10 per ton for sand at the factory and for Illinois coal, effecting a 25 per cent, reduction on the latter by reducing it to gas for melting his glass in tank.

Boxing costs 11 to 15 cents, by purchasing lumber and making boxes at the works, a saving of 3 cents each being effected. Mr. James is happy over his establishment and confident of the future of glass-making in the Northwest. THE CHIMNEY FACTORY in South Minneapolis was then visited and Supt. Krebs gave ail the desired information.

Sand for their use is obtained from Minnehaha at 51. 50 per ton, and coal from Ohio costs $4.50 by rail or 53. 50 by lake. The comparative cost of material at these works and at Pittsburg is shown in the following table: Minneapolis. Pittsbunj Sand, per $1 50 Si 50 Straw, per ton 4 00 li uu Coal, per ton i 00 150 Barrels," each 10 25 Boxes, each 14 25 Waste, oerton 15 Mr.

Haley, foreman, stated that the actual saving in freights, in supplying their trade at Pittsburg prices, more than paid for the fuel. The capacity of the works is about 1,200 boxes, or 7,200 dozen chimneys per week, that being now the exclusive product. The capital of the company is about 810,000. in his calculations, Mr. Krebs made no allowance for freights on soda ash from England, and pots or clay from St.

Louis, the difference between Pittsburg and Minneapolis being scarcely appreciable. All of those facts were absorbed by the committee without comment. The greatest interest was taken in the revelations made and in the manufacture of chimneys, seen for the first time by several of the committee. Mr. Lienau.

chairman of the committee, made voluminous notes of all he had seen and heard, and at 4 o'clock returned, with his charge, to St. Paul. SIB ID WAATIiB BLOOD. All Insane Woman Hunts For Harvey With a Knife. Mrs.

Martha Sonci is possessed of a dangerous mania. Some time ago, in Waterloo, her mind became imbued of tho idea that she was heaven's avenger, and that it was her religious duty to kill a policeman. She was arrested and placed in an insane asylum. After her release she came to Minneapolis with her son, and has since lived on Eighth avenue north, between Washington avenue and Third street. Some months ago her unfortunate malady suddenly developed again.

Officer Harvey was suddenly approached from behind, and ho was dumbfounded by a belligerent attack with a strap. lie stood and took his medicine for a moment speechless. He then i took the woman in custody. Upon her improvement she was given her liberty. Yesterday she went through the neighborhood and tried to borrow a revolver, but of course no one would trust a deadly weapon in her care.

She then armed herself with a hugo butcher knife, which she cunningly concealed in a paper sack. A search for Serg't. Harvey was prosecuted for some time in vain. Mrs. Souci.

evidently concluding that some other officer's blood would serve I her purpose, finally made an assault upon I Officer rattan on North Washington avenue. She slashed at him with her knife, cutting him on the hand, but Officer White came to his rescue, and the woman was again arrested. She will be taken before the probate court to be examined in the matter of her sanity. An Early Morning- Fire. Last night a fire broke out in the twostory frame store building corner of Washington avenue and Fourth avenue south, occupied by A.

Cohen, dealer in clothing; James Howard, confectionery, on Ilia ground floor, and occupied by J. J. Duncan, as a dwelling in the second story. It wad quickly extinguished, with losses as follows, all fully insured, except Duncan: A. Cohen, J.

The cause is that the I proprietors declined to pay a compositor for a change made in an advertisement by the foreman after the compositor had set it, according to orders. The foreman admitted that the fault was his and paid compositor for the work. The union dictated that the proprietors of the Tribune must pay the compositor and collect the amount from the foreman. The proprietors declined to submit to the dictation of the union, and the strike ensued. The Tribune will employ non-union printers..
