SLOCIM ALSO A WINNER. Singles to be Resnmed This Morning, Tlie OyenfnK Draw fop the Donblei. Games played the first day were: Jayne vs. Finch, 6-0, 6-2. Waidner vs.

Parker, 6-1, 6-2. Slocura vs. Barney, 6-3, 6-0. Kiting vs. Eddy, 6-2, 6-2.

Armstrong vs. MeCasky, 6-1, Day vs. Merrill, 6-0, ii-3. To Trafford N. Jayne, one of the pioneer members of the Minneapolis tennis club, as it originally existed, fell the distinction yesterday afternoon of opening the eleventh annual Northwestern tennis tournament on the Hotel Lafayette courts.

He made the first service in the first match- and won the first set 6-0. He played Will Finch, of St. Paul, and one of the two representatives which the other twin sent to the tournament, is thus out on the first round, with only a chance to distinguish himself in consolations. Armstrong, of St. Paul, who played later in the day, did better than that and won from his opponent.

It was a little past 3 by the round-faced clock in the hotel office when word was passed along the i line that the first matches were called. The tournament had begun under auspicious circumstances. There is every indication of a week of as good tennis as most people will see in a year, and that there will be growing interest each day was demonstrated by the crowd that assembled for the opening games. The advance delegation of tennis players arrived as early as Friday of last week, when W. L.

Meyers came from Chicago, to spend a few days in recreation before buckling down to work on the courts. Meyers is a familiar figure in the Northwestern tournaments, having participated several successive summers. He was the runnerup last year and starts in with a large following of supporters. An ideal summer day greeted the players. Better could not have been desired, with the heat of the July sun tempered by a cooling breeze that blew In from the lake and met the cross breeze of the back bay.

Half a dozen matches in the first round of singles were concluded, and a satisfactory beginning is made. No one expected much display of skill in the preliminary games, but the spectators who gathered on the edge of the courts saw enough to reward them. The matches, in all cases, were a home player versus an outsider. A few additional entries were received yesterday, among them I Ward Burton, of Harvard, who is sum- I mering with his family at Deephaven on the south shore. Two of the best known tennis cracks arrts'pii on the afternoon train in the of Victor Elting, from Chicago; Howard Elting, St.

Louis, both of whom have participated in previous tournaments With them came John C. Neeley, Chicago, who omitted coming last year, after he had been a regular for two or three seasons. The Minneapolis delegation showed up in pretty tfood shape, the majority of its strongest players to the front in the entry list. George Belden has finished his part in the West Superior invitation tournament, and will be on hand today. The fact that Belden did so well In Superior as to come out in second place will lend additional interest to his play In the Northwestern.

Two of the three courts which were made ready for the tournament were used and were in good enough condition to be pronounced fair. One court was soft, but a little wfttins? will help matters, and today it will be all right. The start in singles was made shortly after the arrival from town of the early afternoon train. The opening match was Jayne versus Finch. As the two men approached the courts, their arrival was watched with interest by the group of spectators.

They stood in the court to decide service. Pinch won the toss and chose the north court, nearest the "grandstand." Jayne had the first service, his ball went into thtenemy's territory, and the tournament was on. A. F. Pillsbury stood guard on the inner side line as umpire, while Charles Folds pulled out a vad of paper and made ready to snore.

Jayne was too much for the St. Paul boy, and. won the first set handily. He lost games In the next set, but won out at the end. His score at the end of the match stood 6-0, 6-2.

The next entries In the court were L. H. Waidner, of Chicago, and J. W. Parker, Minneapolis.

Waidner proved himself as agile and quick of spring as in the past. His left hand plays and hard smashes were familiarly displayed and it was not hard for him to v.in his two sets and match at 6-1, 6-2. While this game was in progress, W. P. Slocum, of Chicago, met and defeated Frank H.

Barney, Minneapolis. The Minneapolis was evidently out of practice, and has not been in the courts since last year. Nevertheless, he played a plucky game, and made his opponent work for his honors. Slocum won at 6-3, 6-0. Victor Elting and Albert Eddy, Chicago versus Minneapolis, next entered the courts, and while Elting won at 6-2, 6-2, it was not all easy work.

Leonard Robinson Day met Roy Merrill. Both were Minneapolis men, although Day has done most of his playing abroad, where he was in college. He played a hard stroke, that sent the balls flying through the air, and both sets fell his way with a winning score of 6-0, 6-3. The last match of the afternoon was played by Armstrong, St. Paul, versus McCasky, of the Northwestern University.

111. McCasky began In poor form, and it looked at the start as if Armstrong had an easy thing, but the THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1896. Evanston man picked up right along, and at the end he was playing good tennis. Armstrong's winning score was 6-1, 6-3. Preceding the afternoon tennis, there were some practice games in the morning that were the best sort of tennis.

Meyers, Waidner, Slocum and Carver were pitted against each other, both in singles and doubles, and there was some hot tennis, although it did not count. It indicated the sort of play that will be seen later In the week, when the scrubs have been weeded out and the strong men come to the front. The singles will be called this morning as early as 10 o'clock, and play will continue through the day. This will make a perceptible impression on the first round: Frost vs. Neeley; Hale vs.

Turner; Carver vs. Barnes; Burton vs. H. Belden; Cook vs. H.

Elting. A match between T. F. Wallace and W. L.

Meyers, to come off during the afternoon, will be a pretty exhibition of tennis. The doubles will also be called today. In the preliminary round are Frost and Barney vs. Finch and Armstrong; McCasky and partner vs. Gates and H.

Belden; Elting and Elting vs. Patterson and partner. FOR SILVER AND LIND. The Delegates Cho.sen by Minneapolis The Democratic primaries held last evening for the election of delegates to the county convention for the purpose of selecting delegates to the state convention, to nominate a candidate for governor and other state officers and select nine presidential electors, were carried by the silver men, and over half of the delegates are either instructed or have voluntarily declared for John Lind for governor. One or two delegates were instructed for Frank M.

Nye for attorney general, but there was no general sentiment developed upon this Issue or any other except those indicated. The caucuses were quietly conducted. The number of voters who turned out was about twice as great as that whch elected the previous Democratic delegates, although there was practically no contest and no occasion for a large vote. A few Populists and an occasional silver Republican was found in the Democratic ranks, but there was a marked absence of the large accessions to the Democratic r.anks which the silver advocates had promised. the notables who were chosen were Judge John P.

Rea from the First ward O. Merriman, J. H. Rolfe, Albert Christello from the Second ward, Joseph who heads the Fifth rrecinct, from the Third ward, C. M.

from the Fifth ward. A. T. Ankeny and W. E.

Gooding from the Eighth ward. The matter of a choice for chairman was taken up and generally discussed at an informal gathering of the delegates at the Hennepin League rooms last evening. Among the names mentioned were Matt Walsh, Judge Rea, A. T. Ankeny, C.

M. Foote and J. W. Lawrence. The general sentiment seemed to be in favor of the election of Mr.

Lawrence. If this is done, it will have much to do to heal the soreness between the Winston and Foote factions. Lawrence has always been a leader of the Foote wing, and it is currently reported that the two warring factions have deciaed to let by-gones be by-gones and get together in the interest of a united party. William Baldwin is suggested for secretary. There will probably be no contests, unless one is brought in the Second district of the Fifth ward, where Col.

opened his caucus at 7 and closed it at 8 o'clock. It was reported that there were a number of voters who tried to vote there but could not, and they may make a kick. On the matter of the fusion, the Hennepin delegation will be a unit. It is possible that a resolution may be adopted urging the state convention to nominal John Lind for governor and adjourn, leaving the rest of the state ticket to be fixed up by a committee, which will confer With the Populists and silver Republicans. TAXPAYERS REBEL.

They Are Tired of the Exorbltna A ok sine lit. The great body of Minneapolis taxpayers has rebelled against the exorbitant taxes levied against city property, and has publicly declared its disapproval of the alleged ex- I travaganoe in the use of city funds. Yesterday nearly 200 representative taxpayers of Minneapolis marched in a body to the city hall, appeared before the city board of equalization and protested in strong and I unmistakable terms against the burdensome assessment now in force on Minneapolis property. Never before has such a radical and decided action been taken by a body of unorganized men In this city. The action had the more weight because of the undeniable representative standing of the taxpayers present, and was the direct result of the morning meeting called at the board o.f trade rooms to consider the question of taxes.

F. N. Stacy, of the board of trade tax committee, had hosts of figures at his tongue's end, and his time limit of two minutes was gladly extended by the meeting, which wanted cold facts. Mr. Stacy showed that the lax rate of 21 mills in Minneapolis averaged from 25 to 40 per cent higher than in other cities of about equal size.

St. Paul had recently reduced her assessed valuation and had for several years past been cutting down on the expense in the city departments, while, on the other hand, the department expense in Minneapolis had increased. He thought that a committee sent from the meeting to see the state board of equalization would be courteously received and would meet with success. Judge Hicks stated briefly that the taxpayers had come to ask the board for relief. He said that there were present men who paid as high as $30,000 a year taxes, and many of them paid annually from $5,000 to $20,000 in taxes.

He mentioned these facts merely that the board might know that the body before them was a representative one. The members of the board of equalization got their heads together in a little whispered consultation, and in a few minutes Chairman Skoog arose, and, addressing the anxiously awaiting assemblage, said: "Gentlemen, the board is indeed pleased that you have done it the honor of calling this- morning, and in regard to the matter to which your spokesman has Just referred, we can only say that this very morning we had begun to take it under consideration and to investigate the situation. We are therefore unable to give you any report just at present, but we can assure you that your request will be most earnestly and carefully considered, and that you will receive a report from us- as soon as the investigation is completed." That was all. It was quick action all the way through. The whole matter had only occupied two hours, and the taxpayers, after applauding the remarks of Mr.

Skoog, filed out into the street and dispersed, to meet again at the board of trade rooms this morn- Ing to further consider the matter. PRIVATE AGREEMENT. N. Nelson Released From Liability as Indopser. Some years ago, Hardin Bros, made an assignment for the benefit of their creditors, and afterwards made a settlement with their creditors with an agreement to pay 33 1-3 per cent, agreeing to settle with notes certain balances.

They again assigned, and the Powers Dry Goods company brought an action to collect a note of $500 against the firm, and W. Nelson as indorser. Judge Belden has signed a decision in which he holds that there was a private agreement made between the Powers Company and Hardin Bros, whereby the former were to receive more percentage than the other creditors. It is also held that such an agreement was a fraud upon defendant Nelson, as the liability was Increased without hie knowledge, and while judgment is given against Hardin Nelson is released from liability. HEROIC MRS.

DREW. She Holds a Colored Man Imprisoned. Mrs. A. J.

Drew, whose husband is manager of a feed store at 311 Third avenue south, yesterday proved beyond peradventure the possession of heroic qualities. Armed with nothing but a large carving knife she held a burly colored offender imprisoned until the arrival of the police. Contray to the usual custom, she refused to faint, but quietly resumed her work. Her exhibition of pluck resulted from a disagreement and personal conflict between a colored ccuple named Minnie and William Seward. They live near Third avenue south Third street, and during the afternoon the domestic unpleasantness arose.

Just why he did so Is unknown, but Seward seized a beer bottle and hurled it at the head of Mrs. Drew, who was In front of the feed store. The missile went wide of the intended mark and was smashed to atoms on the pavement Mrs. Drew made for the fellow knife In hand, and the latter ran into an outhouse in the rear. He closed the door after him and Mrs.

Drew could not reach him. When he thrust his head through the transom she would strike at it with the knife. He dared not risk an exit and was confined until the arrival of Patrolman Rutledge. Seward and the woman Minnie were placed in the central station charged with disorderly conduct. COURT HOUSE AND CITY HALL.

Minneapolis and Hennepln Connty Own Them, Judge Smith has lifted the cloud from the court house and city hall, and again the building belongs to the county and elty. Some months ago the Burlington Manufacturing company secured a Hen against the building, in the shape of a mechanic's claim for wages and material furnished in the construction of the building. The Hen was placed the same as any other one would be, until the matter was settled the huge building was under the cloud, and apparently was liable to a sale at the hands of the sheriff of Hennepin county. However, the matter was given into the hands of Judge Daniel Fish, who at once demurred to the complaint and the case was heard before Judge Smith in chambers, with the result that the court sustained the demurrer, and unless the supreme court reverses the Judge, the court house and city hall is safe. COMING CROQUET TOURNEY.

It Will be Held In Minneapolis This Year. The Minneapolis branch of the Western Croquet association met last night at the commercial club to perfect its organization and arrange for a state tournament in this city, in which all the state clubs will contest. The members are D. M. Knox, B.

F. Allen H. G. Allen, William Butters, Capt. E.

A. Pratt, E. P. Gates, C. E.

Teale, E. T. Sykes, G. F. Branham, W.

L. Badger. This number is about all that can be accommo- dated on the grounds, though perhaps one or two more members may be accepted. Two model courts are being laid out on the tennis grounds at Park avenue and Eighteenth street. The state tournament will be held in these courts.

The tournament was held at St. Peter last year, and the Western Croquet association organized under the same rules governing the Eastern association. The game, when played scientifi- i cally, differs very much from that ordinarily I on lawns. It is becoming very popular in the East. The association adopted the title, Minneapolis Croquet club.

The following officers were elected: President, E. P. Gates; vice president, William Butters; secretary and treasurer, E. T. Sykes; executive committee, Dr.

B. T. Allen, T. F. Branham, C.

B. Teale. The tournament date was fixed for Sept. 22, to be held on the new grounds on Park avenue. It was decided to use the new composite balls colored red, white and blue, instead of the hard rubber ones.

EXCAVATION BEGUN. Work on the New Westminister Will be Pushed Rapidly. The work on the excavation for the new Westminster church commenced yesterday, with a crew of fifty men and the necessary teams at work. This part of the work is expected to take in the neighborhood of two weeks, after which the laying of the foundation will commence. A month's tiidfe will be consumed in completing the sub- I structure.

The carpenteits will be put to work as soon as the masons can make room for them, which it is expected can be done in a month. By that time in the neighborhood of 200 men will be engaged on the construction of the building. The work will be pushed vigorously from now on, so as to have the building inclosed before winter. The building will be completed some time next July. The stone used in the building will be entirely Minneapolis blue limestone, with the exception of the trimmings, for which Ohio limestone will bo used.

The interior wood finish will be cherry in the main audi- I torium and birch in the chapel. The frescoing will consist of tinting in plain color. The contract for the glass and heating has not yet been let. TEACHERS AT AVORK. University Summer School Sessions Open Anspicioualy.

The state university was a scene of life and activity yesterday, it being the opening day of the university summer school. The crowd began to arrive before 9 oclock, and up to noon there was a steady stream of school teachers, mostly young women, wendtng their way up to library building. Now and then a man could be seen, but they were not numerous enough to attract any attention. In front of the library building, and within, the scene was a lively one. The teachers, as they recognized some old friend of former sessions, made a pleasing sight.

Each prospective student, on arriving, received a registration slip- which was filled out, approved in the president's office, and then presented to the registrar. For three and a half hours the registrar kept at his task, the line never breaking until noon. Then again at 1:30 o'clock the stream began again and continued for the rest of the afternoon. Up to 4 o'clock about 500 had registered, and at that rate, by comparison, the attendance will more than equal that of last year, which was nearly 1,300. HELP THE CAUSE ALONG.

City Council Will be Asked to Aid the Pythians. The executive commmittee of the Knights of Pythias yesterday directed Secretary Wheaton to address a communication to the city council requesting an appropriation from the contingent fund for the benefit of the Pythian encampment. No amount was specified, but it is understood that the aldermen are willing to contribute $1,500 to help the good work along. A committee on comfort, consisting of W. G.

Nye, Robert Stratton and Dr. E. R. Aidrich, was appointed to look after visitors. This committee will establish a bureau of information, keep a register, and do all in its power to make the occasion memorable to the visiting knights and their thousands of friends.

The matter of providing a hospital tent and medical attendance at the camp was referred to Secretary Wheaton and Dr. Aldrich. Col. Wheaton stated that Gen. James H.

Barclay, commanding tfte Illinois brigade; Gen. Roper, of lowa, and Gen. Barrie, of Wisconsin, who were unable to be present at the recent conference of brigade and department commanders, had signified their intention of visiting Minneapolis for the purpose of looking over the ground Monday, Aug. 3.

He stated ho spent the night In the place with a companion.

On awakening the following morning, the latter bad disappeared, as had his money. POLISH REVOLUTION. Numerous Arrests Made to Head It Gff. BERLIN, July A dispatch to the Kolnlsche Zeltung from Warsaw says that several arrests have been made there of persons who were found to be connected with an Impending Polish revolutionary movement. The movement Is of a serious Shipyard Fire.

BELFAST, July The Harland Wolf, and Workman Clark Bhip building shops and their contents have been almost wiped out by fire. The conflagration started In the establishment of Harland dfc Wolf and spread to that of the Workman Clark company. The yards were damaged to the amount of $1,500,000. Rhodes Will 'Talk. LONDON.

July The Dally News says that Cecil Rhodes Intends at the earliest possible opportunity to attend the parliamentary committee which is to Investigate the Jameson raid, and to fully disclose everything he knows about the raid. BUMJWfIYO Hi PERIL OIVCB MORE MATABELES ARE MASSING AROUND THE ENGLISH SETTLEMENT. SITUATION AS BAD AS EVER. ENGLISH HAVE BEEN REPULSED AND THE NEWS OF DEFEATS SUPPRESSED. DEMAND FOR IMPERIAL.

TROOPS. For Political Reasons Chamberlain Very Loth to Grant the Urgent Reijaest. LONDON, July A dispatch from Cape Town reports that intelligence received from Buluwayo is that the Matabeles are again massing around that place. The situation seems no better than it was last April, when Buluwayo was practically besieged for weeks. Various operations, some of them reported as highly successful and In which Cecil Rhodes was an active figure, have been conducted against the insurgent natives, but they were apparently ineffectual in stamping out i the disaffection.

The news received yesterday of Capt. Nicholson's positive reverse in the Matoppo hills and the withdrawal or retreat of his forces, deepens dissatisfAtion with the state of affairs in Rhodesia. Today's reports from Buluwayo are that Capt. Nicholson is remaining there in orderto guard the laager and that the pickets around the town have had to be largely increased owing to the massing of hostile natives in the neighborhood. A telegram from Gwelo, reported in a dispatch from Cape Town, says that Maj.

Hurrell left there Jtily 12 to join the force at Fort Victoria He had a sharp engagement with the enemy at Belingwe, which lasted for four hours. Three of his troopers were killed and Maj. Hurrell after joined the forces at Fort Victoria and proceeded from I there towards Noemas Karaal. Heavy firing has since been heard, but the resuit of the engagement was not known at Gwelo when the telegram was dispatched. The unfavorable news from Rhodesia renews the suggestion for the dispatch of additional imperial forces to assist against the Matabeles.

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has shown himself loath to agree to this step, I it is believed on political grounds, ing to the jealous fears certain to be aroused in the Transvaal. These would not be lessened if the imperial reinforcements were to be sent at this time, by the fact that Cecil Rhodes is on the ground and with practically a free hand. The Chronicle publishes a letter from Buluwayo this morning, giving a characteristic description of Burnham, the American scout, who has done i snob, excellent service again at the Matabeles, notably his shooting ot Milmo, the Matabele God, in a cave in the Matoppo hills, while he was in the very act of performing some of the religious mummeries by which he maintained his hold on the supersti- I tious natives. The Chronicle's correspondent says: "Among the workmanilke and picturesque figures here scarcely one catches and charms the eye more than the spry and alert form of Burnham. Years ago, Selous (the famous elephant hunter said to be the original of Rider Haggard's "Allen captivated me with vrondrous hunters eye, now Burnham does the same.

One of the chartered South Africa company's subsidiary committees yesterday voted 5,000 pounds to assist the Chartered South Africa company in suppressing the Matabele revolt This subsidiary committee also resolved to ask the other companies to join in raising 150,000 pounds for that purpoae" The press correspondents at Buluwayo, in their dispatches this morning complain that the authorities are hushing up the details of the recent fights which are said to be not so favorable to the British forces as the reports allowed to be sent indicate. These correspondents assert that persons arriving at Buluwayo from the front report that the Matabele rebels manifest extreme confidence and display great arrogance, jeering at the whites and calling them cowards. CHAMBERLAIN'S PLAN. Selfishness Stands In the Way of It. LONDON, July Times this morning comments upon a dispatch from its Melbourne correspondent, which was cabled to the Associated Press, reporting that Hon.

G. H. Reid prem er of New South Wales, thinks that a. zollverein between England and her colonies would be impossible, because the clashing of the selfish trade interests would tend to destroy the present loyalty, and the zollverein might unite the rest of the world in a hostile combination with the new and substantial motive of revenge. "Only Canada among the colonies says the Times, "is really desirous of a zollverein and, as the conditions of trade with Canada are altogether artificial, it behooves us to diagnose more fully the nature and extent of the cause which produced the suggestion of a zollverein before consenting to a change in the whole fiscal system of the empire It will be strange If the Laurler government pledged as it is, to the tradition of free trade' does not place greater reliance upon the relief obtainable by improved steamship and cable services, than by creating obstacles to the erection of new tariff walls between Great Britain and her neighbors.
