A BOOM IN building;

Probabilities That More Money

Will Re Invested This Season

Than in Any Previous One— A

I.on-; List of line Structures..Al-ready planned.

The outlook for building operations inSt. Paul this year is decidedly good, andpresent indications are that the amount ofwork done willfar exceed that of last year.

A visit to the offices of a number ofarchi-tects yesterday developed the fact that they

are all rushed with work now on hind andhave in prospect much more fromthe class of builders who invariably

hold back until alter the season is well ad-vanced. Experience has shown that fullyas many buildings are started in July andAugust as in any two months of the year,although it is natural to suppose that largebuildin'-s would be started earlier in theseason than that. As a • matter of fact,also, it is noticeable that many large build-in--- are started as late as September andOctober, and the foundations/at least, com-pleted the same year. From every indica-tion at the present time there is no doubtbut that the amount of building this yearWill bo enormous. When asked yesterdayabout the prospects for the season, Archi- .tect Wilcox, of the firm of Wilcox & John-son, said that they had more work on handthan last year, and then they had all theycould do.:'.'..•; WHAT ARCHITECTS SAY. .

Architect C. A. Wallingford said: "Thebuilding- is to be scattered over more ureathan ever before. The casual observermight not see any more than usual, but thisis owing to the fact that such a bigterritory

has to be gone over to see it. There is agradual tendency to build a better, class ofhouses and a good many are kept from build- \u25a0

ing because they are investing all theirmoney in real estate. There is _ big demandby- purchasers Tor medium-priced houses,which is illustrated by the fact that lamdrawing plans for many ofthese houses, cost-from $1,200 to $5,000. and they are ail for oc-cupancy by their owners, not one being forsale. The bouses that are for sale are mostly

of the very best or the very poorest class.Building can still be done in St. Paul sur-prisingly cheap, which is probably owins: tothe number of new firms starting, tbe mem-bers of which have hitherto worked as me- .chanics. and also the number of new mencomma- to the city." 'T-'i :

Architect E. P. Bassford— lt looks 'as ifthere would be a good deal of building thisyear, but we must always allow* a certain per-centage for wind, just as for profit and lossin a business transaction. 1 think the build-ing this year will be mostly residences, asthere is more demand for dwellings than forbig business blocks. Several school housesare to bo built this year. But we can nevertell what is going to be done until about June,so many hang off, and then order plans oneday and want the cellar pians the next day.

Architect Steen, of Hodgson & Steen.said the outlook was extremely good formuch more building than last year. Hejudged by the business his firm was doing,aud unless there was a strike it would bethe biggest season St. Paul had ever seen.He thought that the movement was strong-est in business blocks.

TO EVENT DISASTER.

A Device Intended to Prevent Seri-ous Consequences When KailruauTrains are Derailed.At the Ryan hotel was exhibited yester-

day for the first time in the . Northwest amodel of a patent device for railway trains,which is intended to prevent accident afterderailment. The appliance is exhibited byits inventor, A. A. Brooks. Mr. Brooksspent sixteen years . railroading and hasthought out this device, knowing that alarge majority of accidents occur oh accountof a broken rail -or ; misplaced switch.The contrivance is ; an ', extra pair ofwheels, placed on the same axle—on a cat-inside the others and on an engine outsidethe others, by which the train is compelledto follow the rails after dropping off them.'the extra wheels fallingbeside the rails andserving as a guide to keep the train on the i

ties. An engine axle being usually twofeet shorter than a car axle, this simply ibrings it out to the same width. Ifa train Ihaving this appliance strikes an open switchit is claimed that it willbe guided along bythe rails and extra wheels, the engine being |guided by one rail and the cars by another.Ifpulled back, in this instance, the trainwill take its proper place on the lails. Theactual cost of affixing the contrivance toany car. not counting patterns or royalty,is about 505; to an engine about one-thirdmore. in the case of an engine it is onlynecessary to make the axle two feet longer,and of the car to have the increased diame-ter extended inward far enough to turn asecond shoulder. The device will be onexhibition at the Merchants to-day.

THEY WANT NINE HOURS.

Journeymen f'lastcrers Decide loAsk For Reduction in Length ol'Day After May 1.There was a large and enthusiastic meet-

ing of St. Paul Plasterers' Union No. 20at Lauer's hall last night. After the trans-action ofthe routine business a motion wasmade that on May 1 the union should makea demand of contractors for nine hourswork at the same pay they now receive.This brought forth along discussion. Somemembers were in favor of making the de-mand sooner, but the more conservative ofthose present thought the date named soonenough. The motion was finallycarried.

KING Oil A DAY.

Will Ansel 1, the Governor's Exec-utive Clerk, Holds the Reins ofstate Government.When Gov. McGill, Lieut. Gov. Rice

and the governor's private secretary, Mr.Moore, are out of the city, Will Angeli, thegovernor's executive clerk, is governor protern of Minnesota. Yesterday was one ofthese days. The chief executive had goneto lie Sueur to attend a meeting of farm-ers, and the duties of the state were rest-ing rather heavily on Angell's shoulders.But, like old man Atlas that the fablesspeak of, he carried the affairs of that partof the universe within the corporate limitsof the state without bending any to speak of.

A beautifully informal way Gov. McGillhas of turning over to Mr. Angeli the man-agement of affairs. He puts on little style.Here is his proclamation, issued yesterdaymorning. It was found blowing across thefloor, having been sifted out of the wastebasket by the strong March wind, whichblows through the ventilating windows putin the building by Mr. Buflington. The or-der reads:

My Dear Angeli: Am going to Le Sueurfora day. J. K. goes with me. Hold thingseven. 'V; MCGiLii.

When this was picked up by a -reporterthe janitor's attention was called to thedocument, and he placed it batik oil the ex-ecutive desk that itmight be preserved, ifthought advisable, among the other archivesof the state. The legislative bills had allbeen signed or rejected by Mr. McGill, twojudges had also been appointed and severalcommissions had been signed, so there waslittle for Mr. Angeli to do, except keep theshop and do his regular work, for St. Pauland Minneapolis are such large twins,Mr. Angeli said, that he would not take theliberty of appointing judges for these dis-tricts, and all visitors who wanted a hear-ing on these points were told to wait untilhis excellency was back at his desk again.

A SHOUT-SIGHTED POLICY.

What Architect Bell Han to Say ot' the New Government Building in

\u25a0 St.Paul. ..• . ...^...w^Ui^^T^Special to the C'.obe.

Washington, March 11.— --The short-sightedness ofa policy ofbuying ft build-ing site only for present needs was never,better illustrated," said Siirpeivisiiig Archi-tect Bell to-day, "than in the case of St.Paul, where we are going to enlarge andimprove the public building. It has been.-Found absolutely essential, in order to ac-complish this result, to buy a strip of land50x150 feet on Fifth, between Wabashaand St. Peter streets. This property is-owned by Joseph Hall, and the governmentwill pay $65,006 for it. An agent of thedepartment was sent out to St. Haul in con-nection with this matter, and he thought afair valuation of the . land was about §30, -000. The people of St! Paul, however,thought differently, -and the government, inorder to- obtain the necessary- tract, wasforced to double its offer. By s the hewacquisition we will be enabled to increasethe facilities for transacting the public busi-ness at St. Paul, but the government shouldnot have been hampered so long on a smallsite. . The old building will be enlargedand otherwise improved, congress havingmade proper provision for this, and therewill be no further complaint for manyyears. I trust, regarding a lack ofaccom-modations.*'

IRELAND'S DAY.

They Will Wear the Harp and theGreen Kibbon anil Celebrate St.Patrick's Day.The various Irish societies are making

elaborate preparations for the celebration ofSt. Patrick's day next Thursday. Therewill be a grand parade in the morning underthe auspices of the A. O. fit., and Rev.Father Shanley will say mass and deliver anaddress at the cathedral. In the eveningan entertainment at Standard hall, cornerof Eighth and Jackson, "conducted by theyoung men of St. Mary's church, will in-clude orations and singing, and will endwith the presentation of the sparkling Irishdrama "Barney the Baron." The Cru-saders' society has arranged for a productionofthe play "Robert Emmet at the operahouse. AtPfeifei's hall the members ofSt. Joseph's church and other devotees ofthe cause will listen to an address by Hon.Ignatius Donnelly. Other speakers willfollow, and John F. Geehan and JohnDonohue will sing.

Special to the Globe.Washington, March 11.—The special

agent sent to investigate the complaintmade by merchants ami other business menconcerning delayed mails between Minne-apolis and St. Paul, Minn., has submittedbis report to General Superintendent Nash,of the railway mail service, iii his com-munication to the department the agentstates that there are now live dally mailseach way between the two cities, and thatthere seems to be a disposition oh the partof the communities interested to accept thiscondition of affairs as a solution of the mailproblem. Certain changes have been madeas suggested in the time of the closing anddeparture oflocal mails, and there seems tobe an end of any further trouble as far asthe postal authorities are concerned.

matinee Concert.Mr. Seibert has changed the hour for his

concerts, and will try the experiment ofgiving them at 3 p. in., Sunday afternoon,at Market hall. The reasons for makingthe change are that the Grand opera househas begun giving Sunday evening enter-inents.' and this requires a part of the or-chestra, which cannot be spared if Mr. Sei-bert is to keep his concerts up to the highstandard he aims at. The hour named hasbeen requested very often in the past , bymany patrons. Mr. Seibert proposes to testthe matter during the next two concerts ofthe subscription series, and from the re-sults govern himself next season. The pro-gramme for the concert to-morrow after-noon is a line one. It will " include theGrand Tannhauser march by Wagner, theoverture to "Traviata." by Verdi, finaleact 1. "Lohengrin," Wagner, and the wellknown "Rakoczy" overture by Keler Bela.

Dr. Jones Has the Cull.The numerous applicants for the health

coinmissioneisliip are doomed to disap-pointment. Mayor Smith is anxious tohave Dr. Talbot Jones, the present healthofficer, accept a re-appointment, which hasbeen tendered him. The reason for thedelay in issuing the commission is that Dr.'Jones has asked time to consider the mat-ter and is -withholding his acceptance. Thetender of a re-appointment is considered ahindorsement of Dr. Jones' administrationof the office during the two years of his in-cumbency, and it is generally believed .hewill consent to continue the charge. 7

Salvationists Are Free.The case of the Salvation army, charged

.with disorderly conduct in parading thestreets, came up in the police court beforeJudge Ford yesterday morning for a secondtrial. After hearing evidence and argu-ments of attorneys for six hours the juryletired and deliberated for over two hours,when they returned a verdict of not guilty.

THE STATE OF TRADE.'; .]';!The Customary Keviewof Hu_ine_-.. Doilies for the Present Week.

New- York, March 11.—li. G. Dun &Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:The past week has been one ofgreat excite-ment among railway and grain operators.

There has been what may be called a liar'smarket, fluctuating widely with tlie In-contradictory statements sent | out .everyday. Cotton has also been active, advanc-ing a quarter with sales of 610,500 bales,and coffee, with sales of• 425,600 bags,closes as it began, as does oil; with 12,---000,000 barrels. Provisions and cattle arestronger, while wool is weak, combing aswell as fine ' wool yielding to reduced de-mand. In all the markets forsecurities thegreat bargain .for control of the Baltimore&. Ohio absorbs attention. From the con-flicting reports there: emerges astrong suspicion that -.the .tran-saction pending is in the nature ofa contract for • running arrangements andnot for actual sale; having for its chiefpurpose evasion of the interstate commerceact. A completed bargain of the kind re-ported would lift prices and create a de-mand for some important stocks. Wheatseemed to be --cornered" at Chicago earlyin the week. The immense combination,which was said to hold over 30,000,000bushels, seemed to be selling out on Thurs-day. War . rumors were employed, asusual, but with little effect. .. Exports, forthe previous week had been equal to 3,487,---156 bushels of wheat from chief Atlanticports, but purchases for export— a verydifferent matter— have beeh. small sinceprices advanced. 7 With more than 90,000,---000 bushels in the country in excess of allhome needs for the crop year, the chancesof a successful •. corner are not flattering.Sales reached 65,000,000 bushels, and theprice rose about 2 cents for the week.These towering speculations,' with the pre-vailing real estate fever, come at a badtime. Congress . appropriated 518.000,000less for the next fiscal year thanfor the present year, while the revenues gomuch beyond Secretary Manning's estimate,which means that withdrawals of currencyfrom use must be large. Industries areprogressing well, with the -gradual disap-pearance oflabor troubles. The iron markethas a weaker look. The weakness iii wooland woolens continues, but cotton and cot-ton goods remain strong. Some failures ofconsequence in the clothing, boot and shoeand carpet trades indicate unsatisfactoryconditions, but the demand for boots andshoes and for leather at Boston is reportedimproving. Dry goods buyers show moredisposition than usual to limit purchases toimmediate wants, but the demands forApril are likely to be largely anticipatedthis month on account of the interstate bill.The business failures during the last sevendays number: For the United States. 230;for Canada, 52; total, 252. compared with

.230 last week,- and 239 the- correspondingweek of last year. The increase is mainlyattributable to Canada and the Britishprovinces. A considerable increase is alsoapparent in the Pacific states and in theSouth. . \u25a0:\u25a0•\u25a0.- 7 \u25a0:-,.. -\u25a0
