I asked this ques
tion of a rather rough
looking Minneapolis
citizen who sat oppo
cite me in the sleeper
on my way from Chi
cago to Minneapolis.
"Take care of the
convention!" was the
reply. ""Well. I

"But how can you feed and sleep such a
crowd?" I asked.
"There is no trouble about that," was
the Minneapolis man's reply. "We have
plenty of potatoes and turnips, and we can
haul in enough straw for bedding. We can
take care of them." And with that the
citizen burst into a horse laugh and re
peated, "Let 'em come. By Gingernati,
we can take care of 'em!"
2o Trouble About Accommodations.
This, of course, is facetious. It em
bodies, however, the idea that some people
of the effete East
have of the wild and
woolly West an idea
which will be changed
after they come to the
convention. Minne

into her preparations, and I predict that the

that is making it do all it can to make the
delegates comfortable. Minneapolis has
some ot the finest residences of the United
States, and a number of its rich men, I am
told, intend to move their families ont to
the hotels on Lake Minnetonka and to give
up their houses to some of the delegates.
The people are throwing open their homes
to the convention as though it was a relig
ious synod or conference, and increased hotel
and rooming accommodations have been
provided. The crowd will be a large one,
and I can best give some idea of it by re
peating a chat I had vesterday with Colonel
McCrory, the Secretary of the Committee on
Arrangements for the Convention.
A Convention Crowd of 75,000 People.
Said Colonel McCrory! "We expeot to
have at least 75,000 strangers here at the
convention. You
,,:f"2 -v have no idea how
Ps''. our applications for
Jnf ouarters are comincr
in. Some of our
people expect the
number will reach
150,000. but it will
undoubtedly be one
of the biggest con
ventions ever held.
The States of Ohio
and Iowa will empty
themselves out here
in June, and we will
have delegations
TT. B. Steele, Chairman from 6g0 Republican
Accommodation Com- clubs Jn ohio aone
mxtUe- Suppose 10 come
from each club. This will make 6,800, and
we will have a bigger delegation from Iowa.
The Iowa men have been here to look up
accommodations, and they are organizing to
come in crowds. "We have had delegations
here from all of the "Western States, and
Illinois is organizing to bring a big crowd
here. There will be a single club of 400
from Philadelphia, and the States of Oregon
and Washington will be largely repre
sented." ., 3 .,,.,
"What are the railroads going to do?" I
asked.
"They will make one fare for the round
trip and some of the roads will do much
better. For instance, a rate will be made
which will bring people here from Port
land, Me., and take them back at about half
a cent a mile, or ?13 SO lor the trip of
nearly 3,000 miles.
What Low Railroad Rates Mean.
"These reductions will bring enormous
crowds and the rush to the Northwest will
take advantage of the low rates, and the
number of summer visitors, which we al
ways have, will add to the list There are
now thousands 01 peo
ple who come here to
spend the summer on
account of the climate
and our lakes, and the
tide of emigration has
turned here since the
big crops. We expect
thousands of farmers
and men who want to
invest in If orthwestern
lands. These are com
inz now. and vou would
be surprised at the Mrs. Mayor TTiniton,
change that has taken Ircsident oftheWom
plac em' Cleaning Club.
"Lands in the Dxkotas and this State
have nearly doubled since those big crops,
and the prospect is that these crops will
continue. The outlook for this year is far
better than it was lor 1891, and we are going
to have a boom. I got an order from a man
in Russia last week to.buy him 100,000 acres
of land, and I bought him 75,000 acres at
prices ranging from 58 to ?20 per acre. At
this time last year I could have bought the
same land at from ?5 to $12 per acre. These
would-be investors will increase our crowd,
and, all told, I shall not be surprised if we
have more than 75,000."
"Well, suppose you have that many;
can you take car: of them?"
now They Figure on Sleeping Rooms.
"Yes, without doubt," was the replv.

the big hotels at Lake Minnetonka In 20
minutes, and these, together with St Paul,
which is no further off and is reached at a
10-cent fare bv electric and steam cars, can
accommodate'25,000 more. We have al
ready gotten accommodations for something
like 15,000 who have applied, and our abil
ity to leed the crowd is beyond question.
We make, lor instance, 35,000 barrels of
flour a day at our mills here, and this would
make enough bread to feed New York and
Brooklyn and leave some thousands of bar
rels over for cakes and pies. We have big
meat packing establishments here, and you
can get anything to eat in Minneapolis that
yon can get at any place in the United
States."
There will be a great many newspaper
correspondents at the convention, and all
the big papers of the United States have ar
ranged for quarters. The accommodations
in this respect will be better than at any
previous convention, and more than 250 of
working journalists have already applied for
quarters. The Chairman of the Press Commit
tee is ex-Senator GiL Pearce.who is now ed
itor of the Minneapolis Tribune, and the
Secretary is J. Newton Nind, one of the
well-known newspaper men of the North
west Where the Newspaper Men Will Be.
He tells me that there will be no trouble
about accommodations, and that the New
York Life Insurance building will accom
modate 200. This building is to be given up
entirely to the press, with the exception of
three rooms which havebeenreserveafor the

the convention with his family. The build
ing is within ten minutes' walk of the con
vention hall, and it is easily accessible by
street cars. It is one of the many fine
buildings of Minneapolis, and it would be a
credit to any city in the country. It is'an
11-story structure of granite and pressed
brick, and it covers nearly one-half an acre
of ground. Its roof is higher than the spire
of the average country church, and it cost
about $1,000,000. In its porticoes are the
largest blocks of stone used in any building
in America, and the 200 odd rooms which
are to be given up to the correspondents
are finished in cherry and are reached by
lour passenger elevators. Each of these
rooms will be supplied with beds and tables
and all conveniences tor writing, and in no
room will there be more than two beds or
four men. Some of the newspaper men will
have rooms to themselves, and the prices
have been fixed according to the number in
a room. The price of a room with one bed
for one person will be $4; less, if two
occupv a room with one bed in it, and still
less if there are four in a room with two
beds. There will be a restaurant in the
building and telegraphic arrangements.
Itrports May Be Dictated.
The Press Committee is trying to provide
a corps of tested stenographers and type
writers for the correspondents. Many of
the best newspaper men of to-day do not
s&i
r ' '
write at all. They dictate their reports to
shorthand men or directly to the type
writer. The Press Committee is now test
ing the pretty typewriter girls of St Paul
and here, and tney are also experimenting
with the various shorthand men, so that
such correspondents as want such assistance
can be supplied with efficient help at once
on application to the committee.
In company with the Hon. R. G. Evans,
of the National Republican Committee, and
Colonel McCrory, I took a look this after
noon at the hall where the convention is to
be held. It is not lar from the hotels, and
5
1-I.t CHS ?&CTTCIU
Interior View of HalU
is reached by the electric cars and is within
a few minutes' walk from the. railway sta
tions. The building itself is worth notice.
It covers nearly three acres of ground, and
has within half' an acre a base area equal to
that of the Capitol at Washington. It is
built of brick and stone, and its walls are
from two to four leet thick. You must im
agine hundreds of flags floating from its
roof and from its towers. Yon mnst drape
bunting over the doors and along the win
dows and on the wooden stairways leading
up to the second story on every side, and
you get an idea of the hall as it will be
within two weeks.
Room for Twelve Thousand People.
The interior arrangements are now about
completed. The hall proper is on the sec
ond floor, and it consists of a full acre of
spaoe built up inide the building and en
tered by about two-score entrances. This
hall is in the form of a square with seats
rising from a central space of about half an
acre, backward on the four sides until they
reach the wall. Above these seats there is
a wide gallery which also slopes upward
with its seats in tiers, so that the view of
every man in the hall cannot be obstructed
by the people in front ot him., The hall will
seat about 12,000 people.
The seats are wooden chairs arranged in
sections and numbered. These chairs are
nailed to boards, and there is about three
feet of space allowed to each spectator. The
acre of space in the center is for the dele
gates, and this is seated with opera chairs,
and in the orchestra circle, back of these,
are seats for the alternates. Around the
space reserved for the delegates is a little
wooden fence three feet high, and directly
in front ot the delegates there is a rostrum
of the same height extending out in the
middle perhaps six feet into the delegates'
space. Upon this arm of the rostrum the
nominating speeches will be made, and di
rectly back of it will be the seat of the
President of the convention. At the right
and left are the quarters for the working
newspaper men. There are enough of seats
to accommodate about 300. The newspaper
men will write on poplar tables, and each
man will have plenty of room.
Wonderful Acoustic Properties.
There will be pneumatic tubes connecting
with these tables by which the dispatches
can be shot down into the telegraph offices
and the telegraph arrangements are already
in. The acoustic properties of this hall are
perfect It was here that the great Chris
tian Endeavor Convention of a year or so
ago was held, and a large number of tne
speakers at this convention were girls who
read their reports in an ordinary tone of
voice and were heard in every part of the
hall. At my request Mr. Evans, the Na
tional committeeman, spoke standing from
the rostrum in an ordinary conversational
HBB
tone.and hJfcvoice. could be heard in the gal
leries up against the wall.
The hall is perfectly ventilated and thor
oughly lighted. There is a glass roof of
about an acre directly over the delegates, and
this can be raised here and there. The
lighting is an important matter, for it will
be remembered at the conventtonthat nomi
nated Hayes some trouble arose with the gas,
which prevented the convention from meet
ing at night, and thereby brought about
Hayes' nomination. The situation was such
that Blaine would have surely been nomi
nated, and Secretary Charles Foster told
me not long as-o that it was the failure of
the gas that made Haves President of the
United States. It is not generally known,
but this failure was not accidental, but in
tentional, and the man who was in charge of
the hall made a misstatement in regard to
the situation.
It's Lighted by Electricity.
There is no chance "of such a things hap
pening at Minneapolis. This hall is lighted
by electricity, ana there are more than 1,200
incandescent lights and 150 arclights in the
convention building. In addition to this
the hall and building are equipped with gas,
so that if one thing fails the other can be
turned on, and there can be no fraud about
the lights. The building is thoroughly fire
proof, and the exits are suoh that it could
be emptied in six minutes if a fire should
break out. There are 28 staircases leading
to the galleries, and about the only wood
work in the building is that which has been
put up to make it available for the conven
tion. The construction of this building will
give you some idea of how they manage
things in the Northwest It cost 325,000,
and it is one of the largest and most per
manent exposition buildings in Ihe world.
It is thoroughly solid and a large part of
tne interior and the floor beams are of iron.
The floors are three inches thick and there
are three sets of floors. There are alto
gether about seven acres of floor space in
the building, and it is, all told, a structure
which in Washington or New York would
consume from six months to two years in
building.
It Rose In Eighty-Four Days.
It was built here in 84 days. Minneapolis
took a notion in January, 1886, that it
would have an Exposition, and on the fol
lowing May the corner stone was laid and a
number of advance agents were sent out by
the town to Europe to gather up art works
Senator Washbume's Residence.
and other exhibits. Before August was
well under way the building was Hone, and
by the last of the month the exhibits were
in and a very fine art collection had been
brought here from Europe. The Exposi
tion will be held this year, beginning on
August 31 and closing September 24. And
I am told that it will have an average daily
attendance of at least 12,000 people.
There are some curious things abont this
convention that will be interesting to the
visitor. The band, for instance, will be
seated on a platform right above the dele
gates. This platform is hung by iron rods
between the great posts which support the
convention roof, and the music will be fur
nished without attracting attention or tak

ing up space which could otherwise be used
for seating spectators. The convention hall
will have a finished appearance. Minne
apolis has gotten an army of decorators at
work and even the posts whioh heretofore
have been painted a dirty blue, and which
looked rather unsightly have been covered
with bronze.
The Pillars Will Be in Its Way.
These posts are twice as big around as a
telegraph pole and the chief objection to
them is that there are so many of them in
the hall. They cannot, however, obstruot
the view for any great length of time as the
speaking will be all over the hall and they
can come in the way of only a few of the
spectators. There will be a restaurant In
the convention building, but this will prob
ably be only for the delegates, the employes
ana tne newspaper men.
The queerest restaurant is one just out
side the convention ground. This is to be
called the Logging Camp and it is to con
sist of a big loz cabin or a number of cabins
built after the Style of the logging camps of
Michigan and the Northwest, and here a
regular lumberman's dinner will be served.
There will be coffee and corn bread and
baoon, and this dinner promises to be both
popular and curious. Minneapolis is a great
lumber town, and bv this it calls attention
to its immense lumber interests. It is, in
fact, the greatest lumber producing point in
the world at least Minneapolis people say
so. By the last census it had 16,500,000
worth of lumber a year, and this is 50 per
cent more than that ot any other city in the
country.
Sawing Up the Logs.
One of the sights to the convention vis
itors will be these immense booms of logs
on the Mississippi, and the sawmills work
ing at them. These sawmills work day and
night, and they use electricity to light the
mills at night They take up the largest of
pine logs, run them "into the mill, and with
one sawing turn them into boards bv great
gang saws which will cut a number of
boards at a time. Minneapolis, in fact, cuts
about 350,000,000 feet of lumber every year
with these mills, and she turns out enough
boards to make a boardwalk a foot wide
twice around the world, taking in sea and
land, every year.
The convention visitors will be aston
ished at how these people do business in
the Northwest. Minneapolis has as fine
buildings as you will find in any of the big
citiesof the East, and it has a half dozen
bnildings which would be a credit to New
York. The most striking thing, however,
to a stranger about Minneapolis is its im
mense elevators. These rise in every direc
tion, and they are, as It were, monuments
for this great grain center. One of these
elevators hold 2,500,000 bushels of grain
and the 21 elevators which are now in oper
tion here, hold more than 16,000,000 bushels.
The most of the grain stored in them is
wheat, and the immense crops of last fall
have packed them to bursting.
The Streets and the Street Cars.
I am surprised at the electric street rail
ways of Minneapolis. There are herein
this city and in St Paul 284 miles of street
railways under oue management and tbey
run these cars by electricity. The over
head wire is used and the cars go as fast as
12 miles an hour. There is an electric line
between here and St Paul and there are
lines rnnning out to the suburbs and you
can go to St Paul lor a dime and to any
place throughout the city for a nickel.
Speaking of board walks, Minneapolis has
as well paved streets as you will find in
any city of the country. There are 40 miles
of such streets here. And the most of these
are made of granite and cedar blocks. The
cedar blocks are the most popular except
where heavy hauling is required in which
case granite is used. The city extends over
a large territory and like many Western
towns, its corporation limits reach out into
the country. It is ten mile3 long and six
miles wide and as its area is, all told, about
54 miles, it has plenty of room to grow. It
has many residences as fine as that of Sen
ator Washburn, which is here shown.

Cruise in the Stormiest Seas of the World.
CHAPTER XIL
AMONG THE KANAKAS.
For several days after the death of our
third mate we were busy cleaning the ship.
We usually scrubbed the decks at daylight
and finished all necessary work before the
sun was high. For several hours in the
middle of the day we performed no labor,
on account of the intense heat, and we im
proved the time to lay in a supply of lime
juice for use in other latitudes. Limes are
to be had in abundance, and each man filled
every available receptacle with lime juice,
which is a certain protection from scurvy,
besides being pleasant to drink with water
as a beverage.
One day a number of the natives were in
the steerage. I had given my "flem" an
old cap, which delighted him beyond meas
ure, although a more useless present could
not have been made, as they use no head
covering on the hottest days. As we
were seated around the steerage on chests
and inverted buckets, while natives sat
cross-legged on the floor. I performed a
simple sleight-of-hand trick, thinking to
amuse andmvstifr them.
The mystfficatlon was complete, but in
stead of deriving any amusement therefrom
they rushed on deck "to a man, shouting:
"Covey-coveyl Too much devil I"
It required all my powers of persuasion
to induce them to come near me until at
last I was forced to explain my trick to
them, and even then they looked upon me
with distrust for a long time.
On the first day I had liberty ashore my
"flem," whose name I found was Manassa,
met me on the beach and escorted me to his
hut. where he entertained me in a most hos
pitable manner. He placed before me
chicken, eggs and the choicest fruits the
island afforded, and tried in every way to
testify his delight at my visit and his de
sire to place his earthly possessions at my
disposal.
It was on this occasion I first saw a Kan
aka ascend a cocoanut tree. I expressed a
desire for a green cocoanut, which in their
language is called "neo," and my host de
liberately Walked to the foot of a tall tree
without a limb for at least 30 feet, and
placing his hands and the soles of his feet
on either side of the tree walked, rather
than climbed, to the top without any ap
parent distress. I tried it I will only say
that I failed signally, to the enjoyment of
the natives present
The green nuts are not harder than a
pumpkin, and it is only necessary to pierce
the outer fiber with any sharp substance and
a most delicions drink is readily obtained.
There are no springs on this island and all
the fresh water is obtained during rains,
when it is saved in huge hollow logs. The

cocoanut tree furnishes an unfailing supplT
of drink, meat, clothes, and in fact almost
everything the natives use. In spite of the
good which the missionaries are supposed,
to have done in these islands, I am still of
the opinion that they would have been far
better off in every way had the white man
never found them, for their readiness to
embrace our religion is much more than
counterbalanced by the facility with which
they adapt themselves to our vices. And
only those who have actually been among
the islands in the South Pacific can fully
realize the truth in this apparently heath
enish statement
My friend saw me admiring a tortolsa
shell comb and he immediately forced it
upon me, at the same time telling ma ths
name "hals." He also gave me a mat mads
of cocoanut fibers, which is "fala" In their
language. I felt ashamed to accept what
must have taken days to plait, even in their
rude way, and I gave him mv Jackknife. I
believe he would have risked his life to
possess suoh an article and he went through
the most extraordinary pantomime to ex
press his gratitude.
The orange trees are scattered all overths
island, and we had rare sport in using the
fruit as baseballs, and astonishing the na
tives by our skill in catching them at a
great distance.
Food, generally speaking, is called
"ki-ki," which also means "hungry." Any
thing good is "la-la." "Covey-covey" sig
nifies ''bad."
They greet each other with the fame sal
utation always. It is "Ofa," and this
answers for all hours of the day and night
The men are slow to anger, bnt brave when
aroused. Their huts are models of neatness,
and, were it not for the universal habit of
anointing the whole body with cocoannt oil,
the same could be said of the occupants.
The meat of a cocoanut is placed in a bottle,
laid in the sun, which speedily draws ths
oil out It has a pleasant odor when fresh,
but soon becomes rancid and very offensive;
to a European.
Nature has given them long, straight,
black hair, but even here "fashion" steps in
and decrees it more stylish to change ths
natural hue of their tresses to something
lighter. Accordingly they literally plaster
their heads with a white clay, which is
strongly impregnated with lime, and
bleaches the hair to a dirty red, which is
considered "the thing" in hair. When any
especial gathering is to occur the head is
thus "done up" lor a day or two previous,
and on the eventful day tha clay is
thoroughly removed. The hair is then
daubed with oil and combed, standing out
in all directions in an immense shock,
which throws the face into insignificance,
as a peacock's tail does its proud owner.
