JOSHING THE NEW ONESA Mild Form of HaziiiH' Adminis-
tered to Policeman.
A patrolman walking his beat out onCedar avenue for the first time last night,had a mix-up with Young America thatthreatened to make a private citizen ofhim before morning, so great was hischagrin. The irrepressible small boy hadcongregated at a neighboring corner of hisbeat and silently lay in wait for thestrong arm of the law. Then, acting onthe theory that in union was strength.Young America made an attack as though
one man. The officer experienced at leasta few moments of warmth, freezing as hewas In clothing ill-fitted to protect himfrom exposure.
"Well, Jimmy, he is a copper and nomistake. Would you look at his star?"began one courageous young impudent.
"Say, has you'se got a Ames button onyour vest? Naw, he's got a star! Well,what do you'se think of that?"
With such little pleasantries did theycheapen the dignity of the office of thenewly appointed policeman. To remon-strate with them was out of the question.The officer was outnumbered thirty to
one. All that he could do was to bow hishead to the whole gamut of street gamin"roasting" and escape as soon as possible.
WANT THEIR MONEYThree Discharged Policemen Apply
to the Relief Association.
The Police Relief association met lastnight, and it was indeed a melancholygathering. Six of the ten officers of theassociation are no longer members of theforce. The unfortunates are TreasurerBuerfenning and Directors Kaehn, Mc-Xulty, Glng, Lackey, Leonard and Ken-nedy.
Three members of the association put inrequests last night for the $1,000 insur-ance money which goes with retirementfrcm the force. They are William Dunn,William Daily and James Monitor, all ofwhom were discharged by Mayor Ames. Itis necessary to prove total disability inorder to draw on the association for the51,000 insurance.

H. F. STEVENS IS PRESTState Bar Association Is Revivified
and Prepares for ,Baiilness.Minnesota's bar association, -which has
been slumbering for many years, was" re-vived yesterday. i A number of j the lead-ing attorneys of the state met In the sen-ate chamber of the capitol yesterday andelected officers as. follows: President,Hiram F. Stevens, St. Paul; vice-presi-dent, M. B. Webber, Winona; secretary,Stiles W. Burr, St. Paul; treasurer, F. V.Brown, Minneapolis; board of governors,T.

CROWDED TO THE DOORSHennepin Aye. M. E. Church Filled
at ('rossley-Hunter Meetings.
The Crossley-Hunter revival meetinglast night at the Hennepin Avenue M. E.church was not only attended by an audi-ence which filled every nook and corner ofthe large auditorium, but was perhaps themost interesting and spiritual of any ofthe meetings held thus far. Not less thanthirty-four seekers crowded to the frontat the end of the meeting. This is by farthe largest number that has come forwardat any one meeting in this series and theminsters in charge of the movement arefeeling very much encouraged at the pros-pects of a revival such as has perhaps nev-er been seen in Minneapolis.
The meetings will be held in the Hen-nepin Avenue M. E. church to-night andto-morrow night, after which time theywill probably be transferred to Wesleychurch.

DODGING THE FROSTThe Annual Exodus to California
Is Now in Progress.
TRAVEL HEAVIER THAN USUAL
All the Hon. l- Running Special
. Through Car* Which AreWell Pilled.
All the roads handling California busi-ness report a heavy exodus or tourists tothe land "where ceaseless summersmiles," and every traveler is asked to puta little money In an oil well. The travelto Los Angeles and common points hasbeen quite good this season owing to thefavorable railroad rates and the superioraccommodations furnished by the variouslines. The winter tourist business hasgrown wonderfully in the last few years,and it is now quite the correct thing tospend a portion of iae winter in anequable climate where the sun shinesevery day when it isn't raining, and wherenearly everybody has money. The fact isthat generally speaking they could not getto California unless they had bank bal-ances and remain there any length of time.But there is no denying the pleasures ofCalifornia especially to a Minnesota manwho has never forgotten the old-timeblizzards. His observations concerningthose awful manifestations of the ele-ments still darken his mind, and renderhim unable to grasp the fact that Minne-sota is getting a good deal like Missouriduring the winter months. But he doesn'tknow that, but sees in every snow fall re-minders of the blizzard of his boyhood,the blizzard of the bare prairies when aman couldn't cross the street of a Min-nesota.or Dakota town without gettinglost, and when snow drifts hid the tops
of the telegraph poles, as was the caseat Bird Island a few years ago. But allthis has passed and the general salubrious-ness of the Minnesota climate is admitted.However, the snappy weather whichchases the mercury below the freezingpoint is not considered good for old folksand people who hate all kinds of winterweather, so for them the California tour-ist rates of the railroads are a source ofdelight.
The tourists are taken through .to LosAngeles in special cars, each road run-ning one or more cars a week. The M. &St. L. had a full carload of tourists out lastTuesday en route for Los Angeles viaKansas City and the Santa Fe. This trip-consumes three days and a half, and a carmakes the trip every Tuesday. Anothercar of the St. Louis leaves Minneapolisevery Thursday going via Omaha, Denverand Salt Lake.
The Milwaukee and the Omaha, run finecars weekly and have met with excellentsuccess thus far. Their bookings for thisweek, as well as those of the St. Louis,show splendid results. The Great West-ern, too, has cars out three days in theweek, and reports good business.
The tourists comprise people from allparts of the state and the Dakotas. whocome to the twin cities to avail themselvesof the favorable rates.
CAUGHT IN TRANSITCaptain M. L. McCormick arrived in St.
Paul a few days ago from Seattle. Mr. Mc-Cormick was ior years a resident of NorthDakota. Later he went to British Columbiaand when the Nome country was opened hemigrated there. He came down in one of thelast boats arriving at Seattle in November.
"'I consider the country one of thftrichest in the world," said the captain, "andonly a small portion of the prospects have asyet been scratched. I will return there earlyin the spring. I saw a statement in thepapers a few days ago to the effect thatthe whole country is in litigation. That isdrawing it rather broadly. There is somelitigation there, to be sure, and litigationthat is litigation, but it don't involve th<»whole country, nor all of the prospects, notat all.
"Judge Noyes' advent along with a codeof laws and courts for the country was wel-comed. Noyes was placed in a difficult posi-tion, but he has acquitted himself well. Ihave known him personally for years. Idiffer with him in politics, but I consider thathe has done his duty and done it well and thepeople «f Nome generally are of that mind.
'Governor Brady, I see, is afraid of blood-shed. The governor is a little too fearful. Ihave been through the northwest pretty wellin days when it was new, and been in agreat many new mining camps, and I neversaw a more peaceful camp than Nome. Thereis no more danger of bloodshed in Nomethan there is any town in the states."
J. C. Berthwick of Duluth is here. He isone of the candidates for surveyor general inthe Duluth district. His best word 1s thatit would be a good thing for the delegation toget together.
G. S. Newberry of Carrington, N. D., Is atthe Vendome. Mr. Newherry is cashier inthe Belaeker-Davidson bank at Carrington.He states that although the crop may havebeen short in some sections of the state, yetthe fact that her farmers were not callingloudly for loans in those sections was proofthat they were able to stand a short croponce in a while.
H. J. Hellekson, Andrew Peterson and Ro-land Tisdel of Wheaton, are in Minneapolis.They came down to look on at the senatorialflght.
J. P. Mullen of Litchfteld is here buyinga new stock of goods. He believes that Litch-field and the neighboring towns are due fora good trade this year. He is at the Nicollet.
Joseph Meyer, state oil Inspector for SouthDakota, is at the Xicollet. Mr. Meyer Is apopulist, and. as the republican administra-tion has taken the reins in. South Dakota, heexpects his official cares to cease soon. Dur-ing the campaign, when the republicans wereclaiming that they would carry the state andoffering to take bets on it. Mr. Meyer mailed$25 to a friend to place for him on the re-sult. He forgot to stamp the letter, and Intime it found Ha way to Washington to beopened at the department. His money wasreturned to him a few days ago, and Mr.Meyer thinks it is worth something to belucky. Had the stamp been affixed, someboastful republican politician would havehad the funds for his own the day afterelection.
Walker Smith, president, and S. S. Tilus,cashier, of the First National Bank of GrandForks, K. D., and George B. Clifford of thesame place, are in the city attending a meet-ing of the board of directors of the Creamof Wheat company. Mr. Clifford is one ofthe people whose early faith in Grand Forksand North Dakota was of a substantial na-ture, and he believes that the next ten yearswill see wonders accomplished in the devel-opment of his state.
W. N. Parkhurst or Kindred, N. D., is atthe Nlcollet. Mr. Parkhurst is extensivelyengaged in farming and states that the farm-ers of his section are making preparations toincrease the flax acreage this year.
Attorney J. J. Youngblood of Feesenden,N. D., is in the city. He states that muchof the territory west of the Soo line hasbeen taken by actual settlers, with manymore newcomers expected this spring.
Mayor McPbail of Uangdon, N. D., is here,accompanied by his family. The Barry mur-der has the board-s up that way and thelegislature is almost forgotten. Mr. Mc-Puail says that this will be a big year inthe development of the northern part of thestate.

LIND AS A PUGILISTHis Affair With Editor Black Causes
Much Talk.
BUT TWO BLOWS DELIVERED
The Former Governor Wanted a Re-traction for Being Called
v Traitor.
The Llnd-Black affray is the one topicof conversation in hotel and capitol cor-ridors in St. Paul to-day. The senatorialcontest is a minor consideration for oneday, at least. While some sympathy isexpressed for Black, the general sentimentseejms to be for Lind. There is somethingabout a man who wipes out an affront withhis fists that appeals to Americans everytime.
The incident probably would not haveleaked out for days had not Lind told areporter. As far as the Dispatch was con-cerned, absolute secrecy was kept. Theex-governor was not at all reticent aboutthe matter this morning. He makes thefollowing statement of the affair:
Last summer the Dispatch, at a time whenthere were no political questions at stake,called me a traitor, and I will whip any d—dman who calls me a traitor. When one be-comes so effeminate that he will not fightwnen called a traitor, it is time him tosell up and get out.
I sent word to Mr. Black by Mr, Bell, oneof his reporters, requesting him to withdrawthe charge. I told him 1 did not care aboutthe political abuse he might heap upon me,but that I resented the charge of treason.Well, no action was taken in the matter, al-though Mr. Bell told me he delivered themessage as I had given it to him.
After I got through at the capitol to-dayI went down and called Black's attention tothe incident and asked why he didn't makeamends. Black told me he did not under-stand that the demand for a retraction camefrom me, but that he was under the impres-sion it came from Mr. Rosiug. I said I be-lieved Mr. Bell a truthful man. He had toldme he delivered my message as I gave it tohim, and that I preferred to take Bell'sword.
Black made some insulting remaks, and Islapped him a couple of times. I asked himif he wanted any more, and he said he hadhad enough. I was about to retire when someone came up behind me and caught me bytne arm. I cried that it was unfair. I can-not say whether i struggled loose or if thesecond man released his hold voluntarily.At all events, I stepped out and left thebuilding.
Mr. Lind is very emphatic in denyingthat there was a ring upon his fingerwhen he struck Black, or that he struckhim on the nose. He said:
I never wore a. ring, and I was carefulwhere I struck him. 1 had no wish to dis-figure him, and a blow on the nose, adminis-tered with the arm with which I do all mywork might not result nicely. I imagineBlack cut his nose when he fell behind t*helittle bookcase. At all events, I did not strikehim on the nose. Indeed, I only slapped himand he fell over.
Black's Side of It.Black's story differs slightly in some
particulars. He says:Lind came in here and demanded a retrac-
tion. I told him that he had uo retractioncoming. He then said that he was a pri-vate citizen, and I said, "yes, thank God,"and then he struck me.
I did not want to get into a row with himfor two reasons. In the first place, he hasbut one arm, and in the second place he saidhe would kill me, and I was a little afraidhe might do it.
There was only one witness to the af-fair, Alex Caldwell, a Dispatch reporter,who was attracted to the scene by thenoise of the knock down, but did not ar-rive in time to see either blow. The twoprincipals are the only ones who (.an tes-tifyof the conversation that led up to thefight. It is evident, though, that Lindwas rather warm in his demand for a re-traction, and that Black retorted verycurtly, and received the reproof valiant inhis eye.
COL HIGGINSON/TOrMORROWWill Speak at the .Lyceum on "Ora-

THE MTSTSTEAPOLIS JOURNAL 1.
There Ahead of the Mayor.
NONE NEED APPLYMayor Ames Shuts Down on the
Delegation Business. ,
HUNDREDS STILL AFTER PLACES
They Think the Patronage of theMayor la Unlimited and Act
Accordingly.
Mayor Ames thinned the crowd about thecity hall this morning by announcing at theeleventh hour that he would receive nomore delegations in the interests of mendischarged from the police foree —at leastat present. The mayor is swamped withpeople crowding upon him in apparentlynever-ending processions. Most of themwant jobs, either the ones they lost ornew ones which his honor has not to give.Therefore he will not be bothered by thehordes of people who only want to explainto him what a mistake he made in dis-charging this or that officer. As things arerunning now he has barely time to look atan official document, much less learn any-thing of its contents; such is the crush ofpeople at his doors.
When the mayor arrived this morninghe had to force a passage through the nar-row hall leading to his private office. Thecrowd was so great that when the doorwas opened a portion of the throng wasshoved into the room and had to be shovedout again. There were a few poor womenin the crowd and they looked as thoughthey would faint, but they held theirplaces.
To.several over-anxious individuals Sec-retary Brown explained in the politestmanner possible that the mayor could notsee them to-day in regard to their de-posed friends, the policemen. The mayorwas very busy and had imoprtant matterspertaining to his official duties to attendto. But this explanation had little effecton the delegations.
Each representative vowed that he "onlywanted five minutes to set the mayorright." Mr. Secretary informed them thatthe mayor believed he was right when hemade his appointments, and that he hadnot yet found any mistakes; they could notsee the mayor. Sorrowfully, ruefully anddejectedly they filed out bowed down witha weight of woe unpleasant to witness.
But the crowds kept coming and as fastas one lot of disappointed men was usheredout there were others to take their places.They were nearly all hungry for jobs ofsome kind, either for themselves or others.
An Almost Tragic Feature.An almost tragic feature of the new ad-
ministration is the hope that has been in-spired among many that the new mayorcan give them work. This is a great mis-take; but hundreds of men in Minneapolisdo not know that. They think becausethey voted for Dr. Ames that Mayor Amescan give them a job. The mayor o£ Min-neapolis can do nothing of the kind. Hehas alomst no jobs to give out except thoseon the police force and those are now filled.The police department is now pretty nearto the appropriation and there will be veryfew changes in the personnel of the forcefor many months to come.
All Sorts of Places Asked.
But the requests for places come prin-cipally from men who have no thoughtof being a policeman. They ask to beappointed watchmen, clerks, special offi-cers, stenographers
t copyists, collectors.They want jobs in the waterworks de-partment, the city engineer's department,the city clerk's office, and in othermunicipal departments, and they are pro-ceeding on the assumption that the mayorhas all of these places at his disposal.It will be a great thing for these mis-guided persons if they can be made to un-derstand that Mayor Ames has absolutelyno jobs for them; that he could not getthem a place in any of the departmentsmentioned if he wanted to never so bad-ly, and that it is worse than useless forthem to ask him to do so. The mayorhas almost nothing to do with employinghelp outside of his own office and in thepolice department, and there is no moreroom for t policemen.
Misguided Pla«eseekers.Many poor laboring men have an Idea
that the mayor can put them on citywork. All euch work is done by the cityengineer's department and the men hiredare mostly recommended by the alder-men of the various wards.
Secretary Brown said to-day that themayor had received hundreds of appli-cations from poor men who were mis-taken in regard to the mayor's powers.The mayor will treat them all courteous-ly and do his best to explain matters tothem, and he is willingto help them inany possible way to find work, but he hasnot a single position to fill.
G. A. Powers Explains.
G. A. Powers, who was yesterday re-ported to have resigned from the policeforce after a few short hours of servicein the cold, says the report is a mistake;that he never went on duty, but tenderedhis resignation immediately upon beingnotified of his appointment.
LOST ONLYJWO GAMESWonderful Work of H. 3T. Plllsbury,
the Chess Phenomenon.Charles E. Thayer and F. S. Lewie wer«
the only players who bested H. N. Pills-bury at the Flour City Chess and CheckerClub yesterday afternoon. As differentplayers withdrew onlookers took theirplaces, raising the total of the simul-taneous games played by Mr. Pillsbury totwenty.
The lecture-room of the Y. M. C. A.last evening was crowded. Mr. Pillaburyplayed sixteen boards of chess withoutlooking at a single one of them. Thetables were placed in two rows and Mr.Pillsbury sat at the end with his back tothe contestants, calmly puffing the smokefrom the cigar, and calling first the table
| number and then his move. Occasionallyhe would suggest to a player a point or twothat might have escaped notice. He wonall of the games, except one with B. G.Thompson, champion of Minnesota, whichwas a draw. When it is considered thatthere were at least two friends of theplayer at each board and that Mr. Pills-bury was playing about forty-eight men,his performance appears the more won-derful.
"POLITICSJWD MIKE"The 'I" Dally Has a Word About
the "Great Fire."
In an editorial on "Politics and 'Mike,' "the Minnesota Daily, the university pa-per, says:
The beauty of the spoils system, carriedto its logical extreme, has been exemplifiedby Mayor Ames in dropping one-hair the oldpolice force of Minneapolis and putting greenmen—politicians and ward heelers—in theplace of the old men, many of whom hadbeen in the service for year*. ''Mike" Ryan,who has been on the force since 1878, andhas had the beat in this section of the city,was one those to feel the headsman's ax.It is said that "Mike's" only offense was tosalute a man thought to be a democrat onemorning during the campaign.

A PLAN TO SAVE MONEYWHAT J. J. HILL CALLS HIS DEAL
An Agreement Between Xorthwes't-ern Roads for Purposes of
Economy Is His Object.
New York, Jan. 10.—James J. Hill'severy movement is being carefullywatched by the men on the street eversince his arrival in town a few days ago. |Mr. Hill has met a number of prominentrailroad men and ship builders. In aninterview regarding his recent operationsin St. Paul stock, Mr. Hill said his planshad been greatly exaggerated. Much hadbeen printed that was absolutely untrue."I did not come to New" York to see Mr.Morgan," said Mr. Hill. One of the main Iobjects of my trip is to consult with thecontractors who are building two 'steam-ships at New London for my line. We \need a large fleet for our lake traffic, as it;is growing very rapidly, and we are having itwo splendid vessels constructed, I amtrying to arrange an agreement between inorthwestern roads and prevent frictionand make the -management of the roadsmore economical. In other words, a planby which they may save money. The lessfriction there is between northwesternroads the better it will be for all of us. Iam a believer in railroad consolidation,as it is advantageous. It is the inevita-ble policy of the roads sooner or later."

.New York, Jan. 10.—The Mail and Ex- !
press says: William K. Vanderbilt's planfor the welding together of the UnionPacific and Chicago &'North-Western rail- iroads, which* he conceived more than ayear ago, is now about to be carried out.When it is completed it will be foundthat the Vanderbilts have a through trans-continental line of their own from the At-lantic to the Pacific ocean. Tim originalscheme was to lease the Union Pacific tothe North-Western, but it is not yet cer-tain whether this will be done or not.The control of the former is to be ac-
'quired through the .purchase of a majorityof Union Pacific stock, and this is beingdone in the open market, which accountsfor the. big Jump in price during the lasttwo days.
It was reported in .Wall street to-day
that the new Union Pacific alliance wouldbe still further enlarged by the additionof other railroads in the* central west, in-cluding tne Alton and Rock Island.

THROUGH KATES IX
Coast Line Reductions Owing: to
Three-Cent Fare*.
The application of the 3-cent fare toMontana and Idaho by the Northern Pa-cific and the Great Northern a few daysago has been followed by the announce-ment of the through rates based on thereductions. These rates were promulgat-ed at a meeting of passenger officials ofthe coast lines yesterday afternoon, andare as follows: \u25a0
The north coast rate on thirty-daytransportation, cut from $60 to $50; be-tween eastern terminals and Spokane itwas reduced from $50 to $42.50; first-classrate from the twin cities to Helena andButte was cut from $40 to $32.50. This, ofcourse, means that the previous . limitedfirst-class rates of $50 to the coast, of $45to Spokane and $35 'to Helena will bedropped. The only change in west or eastbound second-class business between thetwin cities, Helena and Butte was a re-duction of the $30 rate to $37-50.

MAY ASK CIVILIAN PAYThirteenth Vets Interested In Move-
ment for Larger Remuneration. \u25a0 \u25a0 .The members of the Thirteenth Minns-
sota are interested in a movement, in-augurated by the First Washington volun-teers ' for additional compensation forservice in the Philippines, the last ~session at congress a bill was introduced i -porviding that all volunteers who servedin the Philippines after- the : treaty ofParis was signed should be entitled to.pay as civilians from the date thereof;until their final muster out, and travelpay from the Philippines to San Francisco.
The item. of. travel pay would amountfrom $500 to $750, and at the very reason-able compensation of from $1 to $1.50 per >.;day, the additional pay would be a verycomfortable sum. The Washington volun- . >teers \u25a0: have interested • the.. congressional 'delegation .in . the .movement, and the -'\u25a0.volunteers from other states who served 'in the Philippines have been requested todo the same. The members of the Thir-teenth : will probably hold a meeting lin ;the, near future to discuss the , matter."Our < enlistment was for the war ; withSpain," said one of them to-day,'"and weare entitled -to . compensation . for service, \u25a0
from the signing of the treaty until mus- ':'tered out." Some of the members of theThirteenth favor a big mass meeting todiscuss and take concerted action In \u25a0 the '
matter.
