Barlow’s Best the Flour that Makes Bemidji Famous LEGISLATURE IS FINALLY. ENDED. LIVELY. TIME IN THE HOUSE BE- FORE THE LAST ADJOURN- MENT IS TAKEN. 8t. Paul, April-19.—The Forty-fourth session of the Minnesota legislature has passed into history. Both senate and house -adjourned sine die at noon Tuesday. The senate, with its usual conserva- tiveness, finished the half day with lttle of an exciting nature. The house, however, clashed over the question of gratuities, and the majority by means of the time-honor- ed custom of turning back tke clock, prevailed to the extent that a number of persous were accommodated with gifts. v The house did not convene until 10:30 a, m. At 11, the enrolling clerk, stagger- ing under an enrolled copy of the re: vised code, entered the chamber. Speaker Clague signed the bulky document and the event was greeted with cheers. A number of jocular moticns, asking for the reading of the bill, followed. On motion of O. E. Hogue, the pen with which the code was signed was Dresented to H. E. Craig of Sherburne county, the oldest member of the house. A. L. Cole, R. L. Mork and J. R. Hickey_were named to inform the gov- S S S TR SR A R | ornor that the house was ready to ad- AVOID NAVAL BATTLE BELIEVED ADMIRAL TOGO WIiLL INDULGE IN WORRYING TAG- TICS ON RUSSIANS. ROJESTVENSKY ANXIOUS TO FIGHT NIGHT TORPEDO ATTACKS TO BE ONE OF METHODS USED BY THE JAPANESE. St. Petershurg, April 2 The keen- est interest is manifested in the dis- patches referring to the Russian squadron commanded by Admiral Ro- Jestvensky, but the admiralty claims to be as much in the dark as the pub- lic regarding the plans of the admiral. The report that part of the squadron was sighted off Hongkong is not cred- fted here, however, as Hongkong is for off his ronte. ‘'he main question | the naval officials is | now agitating whether Rojestvensky will elect to proceed northward through thestraits of Formosa or hear off into the Pa- cific through Bashi channel, south of the island of Formosa, or Baling Tang lfi!*)!i 23233333333333333333, g m L) n " n £ Fifty Foot Lots at $50 Each $5 Down—$%$5 a month & acre tract in city sy terms, New cottage and 40 ft. lot, 4 blocks from City Hall, $325.

This is what the admiralty officials hope for, as it | sincerely believes Rojestvensky would have more than an evén chance if the two squadrons lined up in open fight. They believe that Togo's tactics will be night torpedo boat attacks in at- tempts to scatter the Russian ships, putting some of them out of action and then picking off the damaged ves- sels in the morning, as it is recog- nized that if one of the Russian ships is injured it might be too dangerous for the whole squadron to stand by her and thus offer a big target for the Japanese torpedoes. Such a run- ning fight, accompanied by nightly torpedo attacks, therefore is what is most dreaded. IN STRAITS -~ FORMOSA. Officials Prepare to Pre- serve Neutrality. Provincial Amoy, Straits of Formosa, April 20, —The provincial officials held a con- ference during the day with the ob- Ject of determining on the course to be adopted in case of the Russlan squadron appearing here. The offi- cials are prepared to insist on the neutrality of this port being respected. It was suggested to the consular body that Chinese soldiers be permitted to land at the island of Kulungsu, the foreigu settlement of Amoy, to pre- serve order if the Russian squadron comes, but the consuls replied that this would not be necessary. The Japanese ships which have been plying between Amoy and the island of Formosa are not making their usual trips. The Japanese have a building here filled with steres, supposed to be med- ical supplies. Three Bank Officials Sentenced. Elyria, O., April 20.—E. F. Kaneen, former cashier of the closed Citizens Savings bank of Lorain, during the day pleaded guilty to embezzlement of the funds of the bank and was sen- tenced to serve seven years in the penitentiary. H. B. Walker and Dana Walker, teller and bookkeeper, re- spectively, of the bank, also pleaded guiity and were each sentenced to two years and six months in the pen- | itentiary.

ALL DIFFICULTIES WILL BE SOLVED ANY MISUNDERSTANDING WITH GERMANY TO BE CLEARED UP IMMEDIATELY. Paris, April 20.—Replying in the chamber of deputies during the day to criticisms of French policy in Mo- rocco Foreign Minister Delcasse said he had always been ready to enter- tain propositions for the solution of difficulties in connection with the for- eign policy of France. In reference to Morocco he had informed the Ger- man ambassador here and the French ambassador in Berlin that France was prepared to discuss and clear up any misunderstanding that might arise. M. Delcasse added: “The principle of freedom of trade with Morocco is assured for. all na- tions.” Premier Rouvier said if France had notified Germany of the Anglo-French convention it would have been nec- essary to inform all the powers. France desired to maintain friendly relations with Germany so France took the initiative in the negotiations and was awaiting Germany’s reply. The government desired nothing but a peaceful settlement of the difficul- ties, WEAKNESS ON STOCK MARKET. Break of Four Points in Northern Se- curities. New York, April 20.—A four-point break in the price of Northern Se- curities in the curb market caused a downward plunge again during the morning in prices on the Exchange. After some show of opening strength St. Paul was forced down 1%, Union Pacific 1% and New York Central nearly 2 points. Stocks were freely unloaded in- all directions and there was considerable disorder in the trad- ing. No news was forthcoming to ex- plain the weakness. Great Northern preferred was quoted at 290 bid and 320 asked and Northern Pacific was offered at 180._ The decline in Northern Securities was arrestéd in the curb market at 167 and the price set out upon a re- covery. The tone on the Stock Ex- change changed in sympathy and there were rallies in the transconti- nental railroad group which reached full recoveries before noon. RICH MEN ARE BARRED, Carnegie’s Niece Weds a Young Rid- ing Master. New York, April 20.—It became known during the day that Andrew Carnegie’s niece, Nancy, was secretly married a year ago to a riding master named Heaver whom she met at New- port. The story was confirmed by Mr. Carnegie. = “My niece was married to Mr. Heaver in New York about a year | ago,” he said. “Mr. Heaver was a rid- ing teacher in the family. The fam- ily has no objections to the match. Mr. Heaver is an honest, upright young man. I would rather Nancy had married a poor, honest man than a worthless duke. We want no rich men in the family.” Mr. Carnegie said that Mr, and Mrs. Heaver went to Rurope immediately after their marriage. They returned a few days ago and are now on a visit to New England. ROSEN FOR WASHINGTON. May Succeed Cassini. joupmy: They returned with the-infor- mation that the governor had no com- munication to make, except to extend his thanks for courtesies rendered. P. A. Gandrud, F. A, Carlson and A. K. Ware were named a committee to inform the senate that the house was on the eve of adjournment. Ware's Resolution Tabled. A. K. Ware raise a breeze when he offered a resolution calling for a gen- eral investization of the books and accounts of the board of control. He said he was moved by criticisms from over the state, regarding the secrecy attending-the placing of contracts and the purchase of supplies. The resolu- tion went to the table on a motion to suspend the rules. The giving of gratuities engrossed the finish of the session. It opened with a resolution giving two telephone girls §150 each. The roll call followed, and the first resolution prevailed by a vote of 101 ayes to 6 nays. 5 Next came a resolution calling for $100 each for twenty-three employes. It was lost by a vote of 52 to 30. — On the proposition of $150 each for five reporters, connected with the Du- luth News-Tribune, - §t. Paul Globe, News, Pioneer Press and Minneapolis Times, a_ filibustering movement was started, for the purpose of carrying its. consideration oyer the noon hour, when it would be lost. This was prevented by Sherman Smith, a Minueapolis member, turn- Ing the clock back fully an hour. His action was both protested and ap- planded. It was dome while W. P. Roberts was in the midst of a tirade against the resolution, and with the hands pointing within a few minutes of noon. On a vote the gratnity pre- vailed, G0 aves to 22 nays. The house then adjourned sine die. In the face of apparent defeat, George MacKenzie of Sibley county plucked from the bone heap the bill pensioning citizen soldiers of the In- dian war of 1862. It carries $10,700. Mr. MacKenzie secured the passage of the bill, and it was then taken to the senate, where it was passed. SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTS. Submits Its Findings on State Audi- tor’s Office. = The senate committee on public ac- counts, which had the reports of Pub- lic Examiner S. T. Johnson under con- sideration, came in with its report Tuesday. The document does not fol- low the lines of the house committee’s report, although it is also something of a “whitewash.” The significant point of difference hetween the senate and the house reports is found in the following paragraph: “Undoubtedly the result of the ex- amination made by the public ex- aminer has been highly beneficial to the state, having brought about the adoption of better methogs and more careful rules in the auditor's ofiice re- lating to the management of its great public lands and mineral ifiterests.” The remainder of the report is giv- en over to an exoneration of the for- mer and present auditor from charges of dishonesty. The report of the committee was adopted without comment. Lieutenant Governor Jones affixed his signature to the revised code and it was then ‘sent to Governor Johnson for signature. The senate defeated the resolution to pay the newspaper representatives the proposed gratuity. The committees to inform the gov- ernor and the house that the senate was ready to adjourn performed their duties; resolutions eulogizing Lieu- tenant Governor Jones and thanking employes were adopted, and the sen- ate then adjourned sine die. W. A. Nolan’s “reciprocal demur- rage” bill was killed by the senate. Governor Johnson has signed the re- vised code. HUGE. SHIELD OF PRIMROSES.
