Brigham of Ohio, assistant secretary of agriculture; Perry S. Heath of In- diana, first assistant postmaster gen- eral. The nominations were all re- ferred to the proper committees. ‘The session of the senate was brief and uneventful. A large number of bills were introduced and the first re- port of the session was received. smile went around the chamber Mr. Stewart, a resident of Car- son City, Nev.. where the pugilistic contest occurred, offered a bill for the relief of one Corbett. 2 private pension bill. One of the measures introduced by Mr. Gallinger proposed an amendment to the consti- tution prohibiting legislation in behalf of any religious denomination. Mr. ‘Turpie of Indiana gave notice of a speech next Tuesday on the election of It proved to be s urs by popular vote, and intro- duced a_ resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution for that purpose. The first report of the se: nm was pr nted by Mr. Gear of Iowa, from cominittee on Pacific railroads , and was favorable to the bill an ad- nient of the Pacific railroad debts conimission con ting of the sec- y of the treasury, secretary of the or and attorne gene! Mr. Morgan of Alabama gave notice that he would later submit a minority re- port on the bill for a commission. A resolution by Mr. Lodge of Massa- chusetts was agreed to instructing the committee on foreign relations to in- quire whether the Islands of St. Croix, St. Johns and St. Thomas, of the West Indian group, could be purchased by the United States, ans as to the prob- ability of their sale to other powers. At 1 o'clock the senate went into ex- ecr ive session and at 2 o'clock ad- jou.rned. The house was in ‘session for only fifteen minutes and that time was consumed inthe veading of the jour- nal. The galleries were filled in an- ticipation of the opening of the tariff debate, but Mr. Henderson of lowa announced that the ways and means committee would not be ready to re- port until to-morrow, and accordingly, on his motion, the house adjourned. Washington, March 20.—This was 2 stormy day ia the house of represen tive ‘The Republican leaders before ge sournme nt had secured the adoption of special order fixing the limits of the riff debate, and two of the regu- lar appropriation bills, which failed to become laws at the last session, had been passed and sent to the senate. The other two will be passed at the next sitting so that, a Mr. Cannon re- marked, all the drift wood of the last congre will be swept away before the struggle over the tariff Dill be- The galleries were thronged and yacant seat on the At times partisan feeling ran znd the hall echoed the cheers of y of the opposition as their pokesmen made effective points. Bailey (Tex.), who made his debut as the leader of the minority was favorably received by his side, and announced it to be the policy of the minority not to delay the passage of the tariff bill. Mr. Dingley, the floor leader of the majority, recalled the fact that a dire prophecy of the result of the McKinley bill had been made by Secretary rlisle, then the leader of the minority on the occasion of the passage of the McKinley law. A spe- cial order was adopted limiting the tar- iff debate according the the plan h tofore outlined. T! The rule was carr! by a strict party vote—179 to 132 opposition, save Mr, Howard (| Ala.) voting against it. The senate open session lasted fifty minutes and was given almost entire- ly to the introduction of bills. Mr. Burrows of Michigan presented a_peti- tion from J. Edward Addicks of Dela- rare, claiming the seat now occupied Mr. Kenny. Gov. Lord of Oregon also forwarded a memorial on the Ore- gon senatorial situation, showing that the lh iture had not organized and that ise had the right to appoint. Most of the day spent in executive ses- sion. Washington, 3—The first day of the tariff debate in the house was rather tame from both a spectacular and an ors standpoint. The gal- leries were well filled all day and the members on the floor listened conscien- tiously, but there was an absence both of that sharp er firing which keeps the nerves on edge and that brilliant eloque nee which inspires and holds the imaginatio: The opening of the debate delayed over two hours by the full reading of the bill of 162 pages, and this, to begin with, had a somewhat depressing influence. The Republican leaders insisted con this to avoid the possible charge in the future should the consideration of the bill not be completed under the five-minute rule, that the bill was never read in full in the house, a thing which hap- pened in the cases of both the McKin- ley and Wilson _ bills. Only four speeches were made at the day session. Mr. Dingley, the chairman of the ways and means, opened i nan hour’s speech for the majority, and Mr. Wheeler of Alabama fired the broadside for the opposition, The Democratic plans had miscar- ried. Mr. Bailey, leader of the oppo- sition, had decided to close the de- bate, and Mr. MeMillin of Tennessee he been selected to reply to Mr. Dingley, but at the last moment it was learned that Mr. McMillin had been unable to prepare himself owing to the illness of his wife. The task, \therefore, devolved on Mr. Wheeler. The latter was_uy but, took the floor for an hour. Mr. Bell of Col- orado blazed the for the Popu- lists. The only speaker at the day session was Mr. cope lli- nois, a member of the and means committee. At the it ses- sion, to-morrow, it is probable that some of the orators will be heard. The senate agreed to a resolution re- questing the president for informa- tion relative to the imprisonment and death of Dr. Ruiz in Cuba. Beyond this, the brief session, lasting but forty minutes, was devoted to the presentation of bills and _ reports. Among the reports was that on the Lodge bill restricting immigration by an educational qualification. Mr. Pet- tigrew of South Dakota reported the bill for free homes on the public lands and gave notice that he would endeay- or to secure action at the earliest pos- sible moment. Several other bills re- lating to Indian affairs and public lands were reported and placed on the calendar. Among the bills introduced were those by Mr, Hanna of Ohio, for a public building at Cleveland, and by Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, for the exclusion of alien anarchists. The house resolution was agreed to contin- uing the joint committee investigating the use of alcohol in the arts, ete. At 12:40, on motion of Mr. Frye of Maine, the senate went into executive session and at 5:35 adjourned. THE MARKETS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers.

St. Paul, March 17.—Senator Miller called up his resolution, offered on March 9, calling for an investigation of the condition of the state hospitals for the insane by a special senate com- mittee of seven in regard to whether additional room can be made in the hospitals now in existence so as to ascertain whether it will be necessary to build a fourth hospital for the in- sane. A long debate ensued, after ar the resolution was adopted—23 to 21, The report of the committee to in- vestigate the state printing depart- ment was adopted. The committee found the affairs in a satisfactory con- dition. The following bills were passed: To designate the place for taxation of grain elevators; to provide for the dedication of the monument erected by the State of Minnesota upon the bat- tlefield of Gettysburg; to provide for a second examination of alr persons com- mitted to the Minnesota State hospital for the insane, by the probate courts or court commissioners; to provide for the preservation of forests of this state and for the prevention and suppression of forest and prairie ftres; relating to primary elections; to prohibit certain city and county officers from holding any other office; to provide against the manufacture, adulteration or sale of spices and condiments, to prevent fraud and preserve public health; re- lating to the state board of health; to provide for attaching territory to in- dependent or special school districts.

The House. The house passed upon five of the most important bills upon its list of general orders. Four of them were recommended to pass, and one was placed on the calendar practically without recommendation. On four of the measures there were protracted contests, so that the amount of worq done was really remarkable. The bills acted upon in order were the tray- eling library bill, the forestry bill, a bill making telegraph companies liable for “sentimental” damages, the com- pulsory free text book bill and the bill making the term of county auditors four years. The following bills were passed: Appropriating $3,000 for the forestry association; to allow bonds of receivers and assignees to be reduced as the property is disposed of; defining and punishing vagrancy.

The measure was be- fore the senate in the shape of H. F. 625, which has been substituted for the senate bill. Senator Stevens moved, when the bill was reached on general orders, that when the comnnit- tee arose it recommend the bill. for passage. After a long debate the mo- tion was voted down and a motion to report progress was carried. A number of bills were acted on in committee of the whole. The following bills were introduced: To empower the Winona park board to issue bonds; to tax sleeping car companies on the basis of gross earn- ings; to provide for a gross earnings tax on all insurance companies; to provide for the nayment of interest on Teform school bonds; to amend the laws relating to highways within vil- lages; to prohibit the use of tobaeco by minors under eighteen and to stu- dents in schools, universities and other educational institutions; to provide for the publication of a second edition of “Minnesota in the Civil and Indian Wars;” to provide for the retirement of teachers in cities; to enforce pay- ment of taxes which become delin- quent on the first Monday in January. The House. ‘The house put in a busy day yester- day. More than twenty-five bills were considered in committee of the whole, and almost without exception they were recommended to pass. A night session was held which was de- voted to consideration of bills in com- mittee of the whole. The morning session was given over to reports of committees, a great grist of bills being reported. The free text book bill was passed by a vote of 65 to 29.

St. Paul, March 19.—The senate ad- vanced the state university appropria- tion bill to the calendar yesterday in the face of considerable opposition on the part of members from the country districts. The state capitol appropria- tion bill was-also on general orders, and it likewise met with some opposi- tion from the country members. The supporters of the measure, however, did not force action on the bill, and, in deference to the wishes of the senators who entered objections, it was left on’ general erders for further considera- tion. The following bills were passed: ‘To amend the Probate Code relating to the appointment of guardians; relat- ing to the service of summons upon minors in certain cases; to amend the laws relating to the spread of noxious weeds from empty freight cars; to contmue in e¢Xisishce Te board of audit created by chapter 221, General Laws of 1893. The following bills were introduced: To amend. the. laws~relatingto the ownership of real estate by aliens and corporations; to legalize marriages where they are made in good faith, al- though legal objection may exist. The House. The house devoted the entire after- noon on the Reeves bill for the taxa- tion of mines and mineral lands, and although the session was protracted until 7:30 o’clock comparatively little progress was made with the bill. A very decisive and definite vote was had, however, on the question of re- taining in part the tonnage tax system. Mr. Laybourn had moved to have the section providing for this tax stricken from the bill and the house* voted—76 to 27— to retain the section. The morning session was taken up with the reports of the committees, a large number of which were presented, and with the introduction of a few bills. The following senate bills on the cal- endar were passed: Providing that corporations doing an insurance and trust company business shall be taxed one-half in each capac- ity; allowing real property of insolvent estates to be distributed among the creditors when it cannot be sow to ad- vantage.

St. Paul, March 20.—The house bill to organize by legislative act the coun- ties of Beltrami and Cass was taken up in the senate on general orders, and after a long debate was recommended to pass.

In the House. The Reeves mining tax Dill is not dead but sleeping. The measure went te a vote yesterday afternoon and failed of passage, not because the ma- jority was against it, but because it lacked two votes of enough to pass it. ‘The official vote shows a shortage of three votes, but this includes Mr. Staples, who changed his vote from the aflirmative to the negative in order to move a reconsideration. The friends of the measure are yet hopeful of suc- cess. The defeat was a surprise to those who have watched closely the pregress of its consideration inside and outside of the house chamber. Yester- day forenoon a vote was taken on the question of reducing the proposed ton- nage tax from 8 cents to 5. It carried by a vote of 63 to 43. ‘he entire day was spent in debate on the bill. The final vote was 55 ayes, 51 nays. St. Paul, March 22. — There were seventeen bills on the senate calendar for consideration, and when it was reached a call of the senate was or- dered so as to prepare for any trouble that might occur in securing the pass- age of bills requiring a two-thirds ma- jority. The following bills were passed: Relating to the letting of the adver- tising of the delinquent tax list; relat- ing to village assessment districts; to grant additional powers to the state board of equalization; legalizing deeds and mortgages and all other instru- ments conveying any interest in or cre- ating apy iien upon real estate in this state, ete.: to legalize levies and sales «n execution and the foreclosure of mortgages, etc.; to validate and con- firm deeds and mortgages made by any married woman by her kes where her husband has not joined in the power of attorney, etc.; to author- ize boards of supervisors of towns to licence, regulate snd control the use of billiard and pool tables within such towns; {9 amend the General Statutes so as to give additional time for cer- tain persons to make application to be entitled to registration as pharacists within the full meaning of the law;; to provide for the organization of township graded schools; to require annuity safe deposity cr trust com- anies to pay a. fee for deposit of se-- ciifities wii The state auditor; to amend section 644, General Statutes of 1894, relating to claims against coun- ties and appeals therein; to legalize certain deeds heretofore made by cor- porations and officers thereof for and on behalf of corporations; to cure mortgage foreclosures by advertise- ment wherein the notice of sale is de- fective; to legalize the incorporation of villages; to legalize the act of county commissioners im certain cases; to amend the laws relating to the disso- lution of independent school districts; to amend the laws providing for taxa- tion for educational purposes.

In the House. The Reeves bill was revived by the prccess of reconsideration of the vote by which it was lost, and the further consideration of the matter was post- poned until to-morrow afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The friends of the meas- ure said that they had no desire to furthcr debate the measure, but the voting had shown that a majority of the house was in favor of the bill, and they wer2 cntitled to a vote when the full membership was present. The op- position conceded the postponement on the ground that the the more consid- eration the bill recetved the fewer votes it would command, and when the vote was taken on the question Mr. Cunningham of Hennepin was the only member to oppose it. Several bills were disposed of in committee of the whole. The following bills were introduced: Relating to the business of foreign building associations: providing for the issuance of municipal bonds by popular subscription; providing for the assessment and collection of taxes; re- lating to taxation; to make eight hours a legal day’s work for the state; fixing the hours for opening and clos- ing the polls at township elections at 9 a. m. and 4 p. m.; relating to the foreclosure and sale of personal prop- erty under pledge; to prohibit the ex- hibition by means of kinetoscope or any kindred device of any picture of any prize fight; relating to property ex- empt from taxation; for the preserva- tion, protection and propagation of game and fish; authorizing actions to be brought against county auditors for receiving illegal fees; to amend the law relative to school meetings in com- mon school districts, fixing such meet- ings for the second Saturday in June. St, Paul, March 2$.—By a very com- fortable majority the house in commit- tee of the whole yesterday afternoon recommended to pass Mr. Dunn’s H. ¥. 472, making the agreement of five- sixths of a jury, after not less than six hour's deliberation, a sufficient verdict in civil actions. This action was not reacked without considerable discus- sion, in whic!: a umber of the leaders of the house arrayed themselves in op- position to the measure. Several oth- er bills were acted on in committee of the whole. Bills introduced: Relating to the railroad and ware- house commission, to regulate the sal- aries of the commission and the secre- tary; to enable county commissioners to issue certificates of indebtedness in certain cases; relating to the railroad end warehouse commission and defin- ing the duties thereof; to revise and codify the insurance laws; to authorize boards of county commissioners of counties of more than 75,000 inhabi- tants to issue temporary loan notes.

THE ARBITRATION TREAT All the Amendments Have Been Agreed to by the Senate. Washington, March 23.—The Anglo- American arbitration treaty was ad- vanced considerably toward final rati- fication by the senate, and before the long executive session closed all the amendments recommended by the committe? on foreign relations were agreed to without division. These amerdments are: (1) To provide that all agreements for arbitration entered into by the executive branch of this gcvernment with the British govern- ment shall be subject to the ratifica- tion of the senate; (2) striking out the provision constituting members of the supreme court permanent members of the proposed tribunal of arbitration, and (8) eliminating the provision for an umpire, and, therefore, striking out the provision agreeing upon King Os- ear of Sweden and Norway for this office.
