| | WORK OF CONGRESS Condensea Proceedings of the Na. tional Law Mill. Washington, Jan. 15.—Atter a ver dull day devoted to passing bills PY miner importance the house plunged int warm controversy over a bill to make oleomargarine and other imita- tions of dairy products subject to the laws of the state into which they are transported. The house got into a parliamentary struggle over the meas- ure on account of the determination of Mr. Cannon of Illinois to secure move time for its consideration, and ad- jJourned leaving it unfinished. The open session of the senate was tauch curtailed by an executive session lasting two hours. After this the bal- ance of the day was given to Mr. Ba: con of Georgia in a speech upholdiag the power of congress to recognize new governments. An agreement was reached for a vote on the free ho.e- stead Dill to-morrow. - Washington, Jan. 16. — The senate passed the measure known as the free i bill, which has been under tion since the holiday recess. The effect of the pill is to open to set- tlement all public lands acquired from Indians, free of any payment to the government beyond the minor office fees, and to release from payment those who have heretofore setiled on these lands. Following the disposition of this bill, which had held the ad- vantageous position of the unfinished business of the senate, Mr. Morgan sought to have the Nicaragua canal Dill made the unfinished business. On Mr. Morgan’s motion to take the bill up the vote was 33 to 6, or less than a quorum, so the motion did not prevail. Mr. Morgan secured the adoption of a consid resolution for an inquiry by the judiciary committee as to whether the proj 2s of the Union and Cen- tral Pacific Railroad companies now belonged to the United States by reason of alleged defaults in the pay- ment of bonds. Other resolutions adopted were by Mr. Chandler, in- structing the interstate commerce commission to inquire into the reported combination of lake vessel interests to maintain rates; and by Mr. Cullom calling on the civil service commission to explain del: i ing annual re- nate adjourned over to The house spent almost the entire day debating the Grout bill, which was under consideration for a time yester- day, to subject oleomargarine and oth- er imitation dairy products to the laws of the into which they are trans- ported. The advocates of the measure took the view that the states should be allowed to regulate the sale of a prod- uce sailing under false colors, and the opponents’ view was that the bill would establish a dangerous precedent and invade the power of congress to regulate interstate commerce. Washington, Jan. 17.—The proceed- ings in the house. to- were vely tame.

Washington, Jan. 19.—Most of the day in the house was devoted to trib- utes to the late Speaker Charles F. ., Crisp of Georgia. The speeches were ‘listened to by nearly all of the Demo- erats and a ‘ge contingent of Repub- licans, while many Southern people filled the galleries. All of the members from Georgia and several of the lead- ers from both sides of the house de- livered eulogies which were unusually im ive and were listened to with more than the usual attention. A pill authorizing the Columbia & Red Mountain Railroad company to build a bridge across the Columbia | river in Stevens county, Wash., called up by Mr. Doolittle, was passed. Delegate Catron attempted to secure the passage of a bill to give the de- serted Fort Marcy military reservation at Santa Fe, N. M to the American Invalid Aid Society of Boston for the establishment of a sanitarium for pul- monary diseases, but it failed on ob- jection. Washington, Jan. 19. — The senate voted to take up the Nicaragua canal bill. This ¢ the measure the parlia- mentary advantage of being unfin-_ ished business of the senate. Senator Morgan of Alabama said he desired action before the senate took up the new Anglo-American treaty of arbitra- tion. This covered certain “differ- enc and Mr. Morgan said it should Fbe determined whether American con- trol of the Nicaragua canal or the up- holding of the Monroe doctrine was to be included among the differences to be submitted to arbitration. During the day Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire introduced the Republican caucus bill for an international mone- tary conference and stated taat it | would be called up to-morrow. Among the resolutions offered was one from Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota calling on the secretary of state for a state- ment of the status of the Venezuelan question and for the agreement made between the United States and Great Britain. The house passed three bills of pub- lic importance and devoted the remain- der of the day to the District of Co- lumbia business. One prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors to the In- dians; one amended the existing patent laws in conformity with the recom- mendations of the American Bar asso- ciation..and another provided for the use of \he government of patents se- cured by naval officers at a compensa- tion to be fixed by a board of three of- ficers. Washington, Jan. 20.—The session of the senate was without incident. Sen- ator Turpie spoke against the Nicar- aguan canal bill, and the reading of pthe legislative appropriation bill was completed with the exception of the sections making provision for the con- gressional library, which were passed _ over temporarily, in the absence of senators interested in the subject. The old soldiers had a field day in the*house. Under a special order adopted yesterday the whole day was devoted to the consideration of private pension bills. Of the 900 on'the cal- endar 52 were disposed of during the session. Among those favorably acted upon were bills to grant pensions to Maj. Gen. Julius B. Stanel at the rate of $100 per month; the widow of Maj. Gen. Erastus B. Tyler at $75; Hannah BE. Rodgers, daughter of a revolution- ary soldier, at $12 and the widow of the late Gen. Matthew M. Trumbull of Iowa, at $100 per month. THE MARKETS. Latest Quotations From ‘Grain and Live Stock Centres.

' The Grind of the Minnesota Law Mil St. Paul, Jan. 15. — There were but three or four absentees when the roll of the senate was called yesterday morning. Senators Wyman, Collester, Fuller, Masterman, Hodge, Hanson and Knatvo!d introduced resolutions for the election of clerks for the vari- ous committees. The resolutions were referred to the committee on legis- lative expenses. Senator Potter of Hennepin ‘fathered a bill for the separation into distinct institutions of the three schools now combined under the one head: “Insti- tute for the Defectives,” which is lo- cated at Faribault. Senator Wyman introduced a Dill to amend the Laws of 1895 relative to the treatment of inebriates by counties. Speaker Jones was able to take the chair yesterday and he had his com- mittees with him, the announcement of the assignments being the first busi- ness in the house. The house then plunged into the presentation of bills, seventeen being proposed and referred. Most of them possesses some degree of importance. Mr. Littleton introduced a bill pro- viding for the introduction of civil ser- vice methods into’the grain inspection, weighing and regulating department. The following are among the im- portant bills introduced: By Mr. Shell—To amend section 15, chapter 2, General Laws of 1876, as amended, relating to liens for labor on logs and timber. By Mr. Schmidt—To amend section 310 of chapter 66, General Statutes of 1878, relating to exemption from t:xa- tion. By Mr. Douglas. pardons and pr wz its duties. By Mr. Ferris—TYo prevent fraud in the sale of garden seed. By Mr. Snyder—To amend chapter 110, General Laws 1893, relating to taxation for educational purposes. ‘ating a board of St. Paul, Jan. 16—By unanimous yote, 107 members being recorded, the house yesterday determined upon a further investigation of the alleged re- linquishment by the state, under Auditor Braden’s administration of the state land department, of the property now occupied by the Mountain Iron Mining company, valued, as stated in debate yesterday, at $20,000,000. The action was reached on a resolution of Mr. Donnelly providing for a joint committee of fifteen representatives and seven senators to examine into the transaction. There was no disagree- ment in the house except as to the point of whether the house was not already sufficiently advised in the premises to warrant it in directing the atterney general to bring suit to estab- lish the claim of the state. It was de- cided, however, to investigate further, and the resolution was only changed with respect to the size of the commit- tee. As adopted it calls for seven rep- resentatives and four senators. Mr. Donnelly opened the debate. Re- ferring to the magnitude of the interest involved, he said he had been advised that it was the opinion of Leonidas Merritt, an expert in iron properties, that the land in question was valued at $20,000,000. It is said that there is only $5,000,000 worth of ore in sight, and it is further reported that the man who engineered the recent lease of the property from Rockefeller to Carnegie got a $1,000,000 fec. “This is a question of immense mag- nitude,” continued Mr. Donnelly. “The value here is double that of the whole school fund, the slow accumulation of all the years since the founding of the state. It is proper that it should be fully investigated and every right of the state tested in our supreme court or in the United States courts. We are battling not for the present, but for the illimitable future.” Mr. Schmidt, of the Duluth delega- tion, seconded Mr. Donnelly’s motion for the adoption of the resolution. In the Senate. Yesterday's session of the senate was productive of many embryonic meas- ures of more than ordinary interest to the people. In all thirteen bills were introduced, and one of them, by Sena- tor Jones, fixing a uniform time for holding general terms of the district court in the Sixteenth judicial district, was passed and went to the house. A dozen or more resolutions were intro- duced, including one by Senator Ring- dal of Polk county, which provides for an investigation of L. G. Powers, state labor commissioner. St. Paul, Jan. 17.—The first hour of yesterday’s session of the state senate was devoted to debate on Senator Ringdal’s resolution calling for an in- vestigation of the state labor bureau. ‘The resolution was finally adopted by a vote of 35 to 12. The resolution called for the appointment of a com- mittee to conduct the investigation, and as such committee President Gibbs appointed Senators Sheehan, Young, Larson, Peterson and Ringdal. Senator Ringdal, in recalling his res- @olution, introduced at Thursday's ses- sion of the senate, calling for an in- vestigation of the state bureau of la- bor, said: “It is a well known fact that depart- ments of this kind, unless restrained and checked from time to time by the legislature, are liable ‘to drift away from the practical work that they have | to do and are frequently found con- | ducting affairs of their office on mere theory. Now, I wish it understood that I have no charges to make at this time against the head of the state bureau of labor, but it seems to me, in view of certain charges that have been made by various labor organiza- tions of the state and by various indi- viduals, that this is a matter into which we ought to look.”; -xo JO ox} ay} Joy opfaoid oF, duced were: ‘ laws.
