“Ig “a oo ~~ THE LEGISLATURE. The Grind of the Minnesota Law ™M The senate disposed of three special orders yesterday. One was the Wing bill to provide for the payment of $115,000 in state training school loan ccrtificates. Another was the Shee- han bill to amend the Sheehan home rule constitutional ameadment adopted last fall, and the third was the Shee- han enabling act to provide for the applicatizn of the home rule law, both of which were passed after a pro- longed discussion. The senate also took up and went a big distance with the Theden anti-department store bill, which was a special order for yester- day, final action on the matter being postponed until to-day, when it will be taken up again. The senate also passed a dozen or more Fills, and, tak- en altogether, the upper house put in an exceedingly busy day. fhe following bills were passed: fo autho: citiee to frame their 1 charters; to authorize cities to me their own charters—an enabling net; to fix the time for holding terms of district court in the Twelfth judicial district; to amend the laws relating to arks of discount and deposit; to amend the laws relating to actions to test tax titles; appropriating money for the improvement, protection and pres- ervation of the grounds of the state comprising the former site of Fort Ridgely and the monument on said grounds; to create a military reserve; to provide certain state and other of- ficers with the Minnesota digest of » court reports. in’s bill to authorize any ve summons in justice T T ov to s person court was killed. A. bill to provide for the incorp tion of the Indeperdent Order of B’ 3rith was introduced and referred to the committe on cerporations. i ‘The house emphatically asserted its right to regulate the reapportionment of the representatives in the new deal, at the'same time conceding to the sen- ate ame authe y over the mat- the senate is concerned. The reapportionment bill was passed by a vote of 75 to 32, after seven rep- resentatives carried by the bill as it left the senate, had been eliminated. These changes mean a loss of one rep- resentative éach for Fillmore, Fari- bault, Washington, Wr Crow Wing and Wabasha 4d , and leaves the bill with sixty-three sena- tor nd 110 representatives. or three senators more and one representative less than when introduced. The three additional senators come from the sep- aration of the Dodge and Steele, Nicol- let and Sibley and Scott and Carver districts into six senatorial districts, while the representative disappears by the same proc Scott and Carver were original, given three repre- sentat’ When separated they took a representative apiece in considera- tion for the extra senator. The foilowing bills were passed: ‘To amend the laws relating to pay of county commissione to provide for holding terms of court in Cass and Beltrami county; to fix the time for holding terms of court in Murray and Pipestone counties; authorizing the public examiner to assess the stock of insolvent banks for the purposes of re- organization; to allow cities to accept gifts for library purposes; to amend the probate code so that executors who are sole or residuary legatees need no file final accounts; allowing chil- dren to be empl ten days before Christmas longer hours than fixed by the child labor law; pro- viding for the sale of municipal bonds by pepular subscription; providing that shippers of ircn ore may furnish their own cars when the railroad com- panies are unable to furnish them; bringin gviolations of the dairy and focd law under the jurisdiction of jus- tices of the peace; amending the rail- road law; prohibiting the soliciting of the placing of the name of any per- son on the jury list; allowing persons to volvntarily submit themselves for treatment in insane hospitals; provid- ing for county boards of visitors for -correctional and charitable institu- tions. St. Paul, April 10.—The anti-depart- ment store bill, championed by Senator Theden of Hennepin county, was in- definitely postponed after a long debate which lastet until 5 o'clock in the af- ternoon. ‘The bill was taken up as a special order continued over from the day before. ‘Che discussion was very freely participated in by most of the senator: The motion to postpone the bill was made by Senator W. E. John- -son of Henrepin, and resulted as fol- lows: yes, 28: nays, 23. The nate then went into commit- tee of the whole to consider the fish and ganie committee’s bill, which is 2 codification of the existing laws. Af- ter a short debate the bill was contin- ued over The fcllowing bills were passed un- der suspension of the rules: To provide for the incorporation of B'Nai Brith lodges; fixing a time for the election of clerks of the district court; to fix the time for holding terms of the district court in Pipestone and Murray counties; to prevent minor per- sons from visiting immoral places. The select senate committee to con- fer with the house reapportionment committee reported that they had de- cided to cencur in most of the house amendinents, but that they decided to non-corcur in the house rearrange- ment of some of the St.Paul districts. ‘The bill was recommitted to be report- ed back to-day. The lendar was taken up and the following b:lls passed: To transfer to the road and bridge fund of Stearns county certain unused appropriations made for road and bridge purposes in that county; to pro- vide for the issue of 1,000-mile books by railroads at 2 cents per mile; pro- posing 2 “home rule” amendment to the constitution; relating to the pref- erence right of employes of insolvent corporations; prohibiting the use of to- bacco by minors under the age of eighteer; further securing to citizens equal rights at hotels, restaurants and other public places, without regard to color; to appropriate $300 for the main- tenance of the monument and grounds at Camp Release; to define and regu- jate employment agencies; providing for a duplicate return of election re- turns by judges of election; to remove the minimum penalty for the crime of assault in the second degree; allowing counties in which railroad lands are situa to assess other lands enough to raise the néeessary amount of reve- nue; to increase the power of the state board of equalization. : The House. The house spent a considerable por- tion of the day on the calendar and dis- posed of the house bills and two of the senate bills which were ready for final action. There was a hot cantest over sevral of the bills and some of them went to defeat. Mr. Dann’s bill, HF. 768, was passed with an amend- ment. This is the bill allowing cities to. provide fcr the appointment of com- missioners to draw charters and pro- viding for their payment. f The senate bill proposing to make uniform the ending of the terms of clerks of court throughout the state Was reczived in the house yesterday and placed at once on general orders. Mr. Donnelly’s bill providing for the immediate employment of the liability of stockholders in insolvent corpora- tions came back amended by the sen- ate. The amendment was concurred in by the house on Mr. Dontelly’s mo- tion, and the bill repassed. The same action was taken on Mr. West’s motion on H. F. 640, appropriating for the care and maintenance of the grounds and monument at Fort Ridgley Mr. Lloyd's bill, fixing the rates to be charged for rental and use of tele- phones, was recommended for indefi- nite postponement by the general legis- lative committee, but was allowed to go on general orders. ‘The San Jose seale bill turned up with a favorable report from the agricultural committee and went up to the committee on ap- propriaticrs. Judge Hicks had his bill changing the form of a newspaper affidavit of publication recalled from the judiciary committee and sent to the committee of the whole. The evering session was spent in cominittee of the whole with Repre- sentative SnyGer in the chair. A large number of bills were disposed of. St. Paul, April 12.—The house yes- terday, by a yote of 72 to 14,,passed the Wyman bill proposing an amend- ment to the election law so that the voters assembling at the primaries shall ct their own officers, and that county conventions to elect delegates to a state or disteict convertion shall be held on the same day. * Senator Dunham’s bill, to authorize cities of less than 15,000 inhabitants to issue bonds to pay existing indebt- edness, was defeated. Senator Pottgieser’s bill to prohibit county and ¢ officials from accept- ing any etler office during the period for which they were elected was lost just before adjournment by the lack of cne vote, reeciving 57 to 14 in opposi- tion. The following bills were passed: To divert an appropriation hereto- fore made for roads and bridges in Chippewa county to another point in the same county; to appropriate $0645.60 to E. S. Hall for election con- test expenses; to appropriate $966.93 to Joseph H. Coates for election con- test expenses; to appropriate $2,000 for memorial tablets in Redwood county; relating to assessments for special im- provements; amending the election law providing that county conventions shall be held on the same day; to allow the county commissioners of Fari- bault county to expend the appropria- tion for that county carried by the omnibus road and bridge bill; to au- thorize the employment of prisoners in county or municipal jails upon the highways; to establish state weighing and inspection at Winona and Fergus Fails; to exempt from execution the li- braries and philosophical and chemical apparatus of educational institutions; regulating the division of township and village funds when separated; re- lating to township indebtedness. Mr. Donnelly introduced a concur- rent resolution requesting Minnesota’s congressional delegation to support a bill for the ownership and control of telegraph lines by the government. It went to the table under notice of de- bate given by Mr. Grondahl. he Senate. The senate sandwiched in considera- ble routine busmess during its consid- eration of the game and fish bill as a special order. Some of the routine was of more than ordinary interest. All day, too, the reapportionment con- ference committee was meeting in the senate railroad committee room, and just as the evening shadows were lengthening an agreement was reached that met with the approval of the sen- ators and the reapportionment bill was also passed. So. it will be seen that ae senate spent a busy and profitable ay. ‘The Knatvold bill, to amend the 1895 local option law, was passed but it had not a vote to spare, receiving only the constituticnal 28, The game and fish bill was consid- ered at length in committee of the whole and had not been disposed or when the committee rose. Senator Stebbins introduced a Dill preposing a new _ reapportionment scheme. It provides for a senatorial representation of fifty and a house of one hundred. ‘The following bills were passed: To allow judges of the district court to hold terms of court outside the county seat for the purpose of issuing naturalization papers; to change the location of a bridge spanning the Red River of the North in Polk county; to make foundling hospitals the guard- ians of children intrusted to its care; to amend the laws relating to high- ways and bridges within villages; to amend the laws regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors. St. Paul, April 18.—The senate ad- vanced the game and fish bill to the calendar, and in so doing tacked on several amendments, the most impor- tant being the one that absolutely pro- hibits the shooting during the spring months of duck, brant, geese or any kind of wild acquatic fowl. The following bills were passed: To ratify, confirm and legalize the acts and proceedings of county boards of equalization; to amend the laws re- lating to the soldiers’ home, abolishing the standing appropriation of $20,000 for two years; to encourage the culti- vation of sugar beets*- and prescribe rates of freight to be charged by rail- roads for transporting same; making invalid all provisions or conditions de- claring a forfeiture of the rights of any vendee or purchaser or his assigns in or to any contract for deed, ete.; pro- viding for the creation and organiza- tion of new counties and the govern- ment of the same; to legalize and reg- ulate cremation; to provide for the publication of the proceedings of the city council of incorporated cities; to prohibit the use of tobacco by minor persons under eighteen years and by all minor pupils‘in publie schools; pro- viding for the safekeeping of tle funds of counties having a population of 100,- 000 or more; relating to dams: used for the purpose of, or aiding in, driving logs; relating to abetting at suicide and making any public advocacy of suicide a felony; providing for the extension of time within which the surviving spouse may renounce. and’ refuse to ac- cept the provisions of a will in certain cases; to legalize policies of imsurance issued by township manual insurance companies in certain cases; an act to prohibit and prevent the sale or manu- facture of unhealthy or adulterated dairy products; to legalize and vali- date the defective execution of deeds, mortgages and other instruments and the record thereof; to abolish all spe- cial departments for the treatment of inebriates at the Rochester state hospi- tal for the insane; to give effect as evi- dence to sheriffs’ certificates of sale; relating to the deposit of public funds; relating to the capital steck of manu- facturing corporations, relating to the jurisdiction of the peace in forcible entry and unlawful retainers; relating to place of holding court and office of justices of the peace; authorizing county commissioners of certain coun- ties to audit and allow the claims of mechanics aad laborers for deficiencies due them from insolvent contractors for work on public buildings. - The House. The house made a record in commit- tee of the whole yesterday. Mr. Foss was in the chair in the forenoon and Mr. Staples aitended to the busin in the atiernoon. Mr. Kendall w the gavel in the evening. Bills were ariven through almost under whip and spur and the result was an almost featureles ion, the story requiring litle for its telling, other ‘than the routine list of bill acted upon with the disposition made of them. During the morning and afternoon definite action was. taken on sixty-five bills, and in the evening twenty more were added to the list, making a total of eighty- five bills, which is probably the record for this kind of legislative work. The Sweuingsen Dill, reducing the bounty for the arrest of horse thieves from $200 to $100, w mended by a further reduction to $ and recom- mended to pass. The house has al- ready gone on record as opposed to the bounty altogether, and passed a bill re- pealing it, but the senate was unwil- ling to go so fast. Senator Wyman’s bill allowing coun- ties of more than 50,000 inhabitants to undertake the treatment of inebriates was recommended to pass with an amendment limiting the number of in- ebriates who may be treated in any one year to one for every 10,000 in- habitants of the county. St. Paul, April 14.—The omnibus ap- propriation bill was reported to both houses yesterday, by Senator Wyman in the senate and by M house, these gentlemen bein espect- ively the chairmen of the of the com- mittee on appropriations of. the two bodies. The bill carries 932,359, which is about the same as the total for the two preceding sessions, that of 1893 having been $2,927,320, and that of 1895, $1,904,465, but if the legisla- ture continues in its line of economy the total appropriations of this ses- sion will be considerably Igss than for these sessions. The total appropvia- tions for the legislature of 1893, in- cluding the general _ appropriations, amounted to $2,413,238. while the appropriations for the session of 1895, including the general appropriation bill, amounted to $2,784,773.29; but, as $250,000 of that amount was to pay state bonds, it should be deducted, which would leave the total appropria- tion for the conduct of the affairs cf the state for the session of 1895, $2,- 534,773.29, or about $125,000 more than the session of 1893. Comparing these two sessions with 1897, the present bill carries an appr: priation of $1,932,359, to which must be added the appropriations of the leg- islature up to the present date, $150,- 000, of which $140,000 was for leg‘ lative expenses. Smaller appropria- tions aggregated $10,000 more, making a sum total of appropriations up to date, including the general appropria- tion bill, of $2,082,359. This leaves it still behind the appropriations of the last session about $500,000, as there are but few bilis now before either house carrying an appropriation. In all probability, therefore, the suin total referred to will not be very much in- creased, A very considerable portion of the day in the house was spent in passing bills on the calendar. The activity of the house in committee of the whole on Monday had resulted in a calendar of forty-six house files and thirty-five senate files ready for final action. About forty of them were disposed of during the day and contrary to the usual rule with the house, there was very little discussion. Among the more important bills passed were the following: To allow cities or counties to try the experiment of machine voting; appro- priating $5,000 for the relief of suf- ferers by flood at Moorhead; to pro- vide for the immediate enforcement of the liability of stockholders in insol- vent corporations; providing for de- tention hospitals for the alleged insane in cities of more than 50,000 inhabi- tants; to prohibit city and county of- ficers from holding any other Inera- tive office during the period for which elected; to prohibit the use of explosive bullets and noiseless powder in the pursuit of game; to amend the law rel- ative to the issue of bonds by cities so os to require a two-thirds vote of all electors voting at the election: to allow the property rights of riparian owners to land uncovered by the recession of a lake or stream to be determined by a joint action; to make the removal of a notice of contagious disease prima facie evidence that it was removed by the occupant of the premises; requir- ing register of deeds to record quit claim deeds, certified to by county at- torneys, without the payment of taxes in certain cases; allowing cities to li- cense companies or individuals in- stalling or repairing electric wires; to allow state or territorial roads running through the platted portions of in- corporated villages to be vacated «s they are now vacated in cities; grant- ing to county boards of equalization power to raise individual assessments; to authorize and regulate cremation; to prevent any person controlling a pharmaceutical school, or who is not regularly engaged as a pharmacist, from serving on the state pharmacy board; defining who are subcontract- ers on publie werk and requiring no- tice of an action to enforce a lien to be served on the sureties on the contract- ers’ bond within’ninety ‘days after the ti a sel ee completion of the work; providing tliat: narrow gruge railroads shall not ceed three feet in width; to proliibit the taking of fish in certain seasons in: lakes and streams within the: limits: of cities; giving county commissioners power to strike from the delinquet tax lists taxes in amounts less than $1, which are thought to be uncolleetable; providing that in the event of two po- litical parties uniting upon candidates each shall be deemed to liave cast one~ half of the total vote cast for’such cane didate. Mr. Dunn proposed @ constitutional amendment which grows out of the anti-department store agitation of the past winter. The question of the con- stitutionality of such legislation as has been propesed having been questioned Mr. Dunn offers a remedy which will prevent the constitutional question from troubling the next legislature, if the amendment as proposed is adopted. The Sencte. St. Paul, April 14—The senate voted to meet at 9 o'clock in the morning in- stead of 10 o’clock for the remainder of the session. The need of a longer day was demonstrated yesterday, it being almost 6:30 when adjournment was taken. The day was spent in hard work. In the forenoon, along with a dozen other bills, the senate passed also the Sperry printing bill, a recodification of all the laws relating to state printing. The Dill is consid- ered a most excellent measure, and un- der its provisions State Expert Printer Whitney expects to be able to relieve the state from its printing deficit and keep the printing fund above water in the future. ‘Fhe senate passed the Douglas house bill, appropriating $5,- 000 for the relief of sufferers by th flood in the Red river valley. The bill was intreduced in the house yesterday and came to the senate in the after- noon, being passed under suspension of the rules. In the afternoon the Cole freight rate bill was taken up and by a vote of 26 to 20 the measure was recommended for indefinite postpone- ment. A motion by Senator Stebbins to place his bill, limiting the represen- tation in the législature to fifty sen- ators and one hundred representatives, on the calendar for final passage was defeated by a vote of 27 to 15. The following bills were passed: To appropriate $5,000 for the relief of sufferers from the flood in the Red river valley; to compel express com- panies to report their earnings to the state railroad and warehouse com- mission; to reimburse the boards of education of school districts for man- eys expended in providing normal i struction, ete.; to repeal an act entitled an act to permit certain parties to ain the water in certain lakes for mill- ing purposes; to amend the laws re- lating to the appointment of guardians of insane or incompetent persons; re- lating to corporations; to amend sec- m 8, chapter 23, General Laws 1867, being an act entitled “An act to pro- vide for the incorporation of savings associations,” approved March 8, 1867, and the several acts amendatory of such section; amending the law ing to homestead exemptions.

Exit From Prison of South Dakota’s Ex-Treasurer. Aberdeen, S. D., April 14. —_W. W. Taylor, ex-treasurer of South Dakota, will begin life anew to-day, April 14, after having completed the full term of his imprisonment, less the usual de- duction for exemplary conduct.
