NO THE LEGISLATURE | Business Transacted by Minnesota Solons. St. Paul, April 4. — The senate got | dowr to business yesterday, and, al- though an afternoon session only was held, more teal hard work was done and more was accomplished than dur- ing any two days of last week. Rou- tine work was cut off with the reports of committees and the senate resolved itself into committee of the whole for the consideration of bills on general orders. Fifty-nine. bills were recom- mended for passage, nearly lalf this number being house bills, while four were killed, making a total of sixty- three on which definite action was taken. Several others»were partly discussed and laid over for further consideration. The House, The legislation that is desired for the St. Paul-Stillwater interurban line eccupied a considerable portion of the time of the house yesterday. The two bills giving the county commissioners of Washington county, or any other county for that matter, the right to allow street railway lines to be built en the public highways, and legalizing whatever has been done in that re- gard already, was advancedeto the cal- endar last week and both of them passed yesterday. The house spent considerable time in committee of the whole. The El- well “good roads” bill oecupied much of the time and was referred back to the committee on reads and bridges. St. Paul, April 5.—The careful work of xsenate committees in the considera- tion of bills submitted to them was never more appreciated than during the past two d while the senate | las been working in committee of the whole on bills on generat orders.

Mr. O'Neill sueceeded in haying his bill proposing a modification of the Torrens system of land transfers made a special order for to-morrow morn- ing at 10 o'clock. Mr. Foss had the Myran hard roads bil’, which was lost on the calendar on Wednesday, reconsidered and re- ferred to the committee of the whole. The only bill on the house calendar was the game and fish bill, perfected in committee of the whole on Wednes- day. It was passed with but one negative vote. In committee of the whole Mr. Lay- bourn in the chair, the house cleaned up a conciderable number of bills. Many of them were senate Dills. The Senate. The senate stuck to the calendar nearly all day yesterday, and, as a re- sult, passed forty-three bill, eighteen of which were house measures, and are, therefore, lacking only the governor's signature to become laws. The following were among the more important bills passed: Relating to the pay of county com- missioners for super the con- , struction of county drains. — To regu- late the practice of dentistry in the State of Minnesota. — To prevent the desecration, mutilation and improper use of the flag of fhe United States or of this state. — Providing that veterans of the Spanish-American war may be admitted to the soldiers’ home the same as veterans of the Civil War. — To require railread companies to fur- sh free transportation to shippers for ch car of stock and providing a rem- edy in case of failure or refusal on the part of the railroad company to com- ply with the provisions of this act. — To prevent relatives of adopted chil- dren from inheriting property of their foster parents. — To provide that all baking powders containing alum be so plainly labeled in type the size of great primer. — Giving preference in ap- pointment and employment in polit office to honorabiy discharged Union ilors; makes it manda- tory on heads of departments to ap- point old soldiers when they apply for positions. — To appropriate money for the salary of the secand assistant at- torney general, and to repeal conflict- lation. — To protect the public health by regulating the use of’ dis- ying and unwholesome ani- mal matter. ‘0 punish witnesses for failure to obey subpoenas issued out of courts of record. St. Paul, April 8.—Gov. Lind notified the house that he was unable to agree with the conclusions of the legislature with respect to the future policy of | the state in the care of the insane, and ; returned without his approval the Staples bill providing for the construc- tion of a district state’ hospital for the insane at Anoka and the pur se of e at Hastings for another district te hospital. Immediately when the reading of the message was concluded Mr. Satples moved that the bill and veto m xe lie upon the table and the hou wert on with its routine business. e governor, in his message, says that what is required is accommoda- tions for the chronic insane. This the present bill does not provide. He re- iterates the arguments contained in his inaugural message advocating the retention of the acute and chronic in sane in separate institutions. He says: f the bill had been so drawn that it would be possible for the board of hospital trustees to establish asylums for the care of the chronic insane un- der its provisions if it became a law, then I should have signed it, notwith- standing my convictions as expressed in my message, but it is in such form that the board will be compelled to build and maintain hospitals—one at Anoka, to be erected forthwith, and, later, an additional one at Hastings.” The following bills were passed: To require superintendents to visit schools in certain counties, and pro- viding for salary for the same. — Re- lating to the dairy and food depart- ment, — Authorizing township super- visors to issue bonds for the con- struction of hard roads in certain eases.

The Senate. The senate yesterday spent most of its time in consideration of the several game and fish bills that had been made a special order for the afternoon, and in advancing bills from general orders to the calendar. Sixteen more Dills were advanced to the calendar, three game and fish bills and one affecting Hennepin county, were passed, along with a couple of other measures. The general game and fish bill is the game warden conference bill, agreed on as the style of laws to be enacted in the Northwestern states, where the game and fish are of the same kind and the reasons ane about the same. The sen- ate stuck to the original text of the ll, prohibiting spring shooting, and t will be sent back to the house for concurrence, that body having amena- ed the bill so as to provide for spring shooting. The Dwinnell house bill to prevent the catching of fish in lakes Within incorporated cities, was passed by » vote of 40 to 6. H. F. No. 556 was passed by a yote of 36 to 0. This bill provides that none but male domesti- cated deer may be killed and sold as H. F. No. 507, to regulate. the use of pound nets in international waters. so as to raise the license fee from $10 to $25, was passed by a vote , of $2 to 1.

WINNIPEGOSIS LETTER. . from Dennis Twohcy Who Went From Austin, Mion., March, 1898. Winnipegosis, Man., Jan, 23, 1859. Benjamin Davies, Esq., Canadian Government Agent, St. Paul, Minn., Dear Sir:—I have great pleasure in writing you these few lines to let you know how I like my new location and how I have been getting along since I left Southern Minnesota. I like this country well, the climate agrees with me and my family at all seasons, and taken all around it is away ahead of Minnesota. I may say that we have not had one storm yet this winter. As regards the productives of the soil, I consider it beats Southern Minnesota. I am a practical farmer, but have never seen such vegetables in my life as I have seen raised here. As regards grain of all kinds, I have seen splen- did yields, in fact any man who can- not get along here and make a good living cannot do it anywhere. We have abundance of wood for fuel, timber for building, and lots of hay. I have got good water on my place about 24 feet. I have a good class of neighbors around me, and have been well used by everybody. I have been able to get lots of work for myseif and team at fair wages, whenever I wanted it, and I think any one else can do the same. I would not care to return to Minnesota. I am, sir, yours very truly, (Signed) DENNIS TWOHEY. The government has agents in sey- eral of the states, any of whom will be pleased to give you information, as to free homestead lands to those desiring it. : List of Patents Issued Last Weeek to Northwestern Inventors.

What “Kalsomines” Are. “Kalsomines” are cheap temporary preparations manufactured from chalks, clays, whiting, etc., and are stuck on the wall with decaying ani- mal glue. They bear no comparison with Alabastine, which is a cement that goes through a process of setting, and hardens with age. Consumers, in buying Alabastine, should see that the goods are in packages and properly labeled. Nothing else is “just as good” as Alabastine. The claims of new imitaffons are absurd on their face. They cannot offer the test of time for durability. The Indian population of the United States is 325,464, a decrease in fifty 's of only 62,765. Dewey. Let Us Have the Fibre. When Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish Navy in Manila Harbor there were lying in the harbor six big ships Jaden with Manila fiber for the Deering Harvester Co. of Chicago. By a spe- cial order from the Navy Department Dewey was permitted to release these ships.

Havana, April 8. — The Cuban mili- tary assembly being dead, Gen. Gomez will take up his programme of solidi- { fying the Cuban people into a party that shall, without ceasing, urge the | United States to withdraw from the island. His purpose is to make the people seem to have but one emotion, one desire—the thought of independ- ence and of absolute separation from the United States. Gen. Gomez con- siders the dissolution of the assembly as his personal achievement, aided by the military administration here and countenanced at Washington. He be- lieves that he emerges from the con- troversy with the assembly stronger than ever with the better class His theory is that the Cubans, who, be- fore, thought him merely aug adroit guerilla ¢hief, are now prepared to re- gard him as a political leader, and that a few days more will probably see him in name general-in-chief of the army. Yesterday Gen. Pedro Diaz, who commands in the province of Pinar del Rio, invited several generals and brig- ade commanders who are friendly to Gomez to a conference regarding the latter's future course. As many who were invited were some distance away . from Havana and could not arrive here in time for the meeting, there were only a few present, but the possibility of reinstating Gomez as commander- in-chief was formally discussed, with the result that little or no opposition to the proposal developed. In order to get a more general expression of opinion it was decided to defer the formal meeting until to-day. No other candidate is possible, and if any such action is attempted it will undoubted- ly be carried through. Gen. Gomez, if reinstated, would be of greater service to the United States in the disbursement of the $3,000,000, but his political programme means the keeping up of agitation and disturb- ance in the minds of the people and the | weakening of American authority by | producing the impression that every- thing done by the Americ is tem- porary and may sooner or later be overturned. American observes con- sider any such agitation as extremely harmful to the industrial revival and the restoration of Cuban credit. GEN. GOMEZ’S ONE 'THOUG Was the Absolute Independence fo Cuba. Washington, April 8. — The cruiser Detroit, which is now lying off La Guayara, Venez., has been ordered post haste to Bluefields, Nic., for the protection of American interests in that quarter. On the way she will touch at Port Limon, Costa Rica, where her commander will put himself in. communication with the United States consul at that port, and where he also may receive further instruc- tions. She is also likely to make a very brief stop at Greytown. Her dispatch under hurry orders is at the urgent request of the state depart- ment, to which “American residents, both at Bluefields and Costa Mica, have appealed for protection of Ameri- ean interests. The arbitrary and ex- tortionate policy adopied by Gen. Torres at Bluefields, who, on more than one occasion, has mage himself persona non grata to this government, and whose restoration to power has been followed by acts which American residents resent and protest against, is the main cause for the vessels’s di patch. Tke state department at time has cabled instructions United States diplomatic representa- tive at Bluefields to lodge an ener- getic protest with the Nicaraguan government against the action of Gen. Yorres, and a disregard of this pro- test will be followed up by a mo positive step on the part of this gov- ernment. In Costa Rica the American and British residents are in trouble on ac- count of an insurrectionary move. It is alleged that the insurgents are levy- ing forced loans on them, besides col- lecting exhorbitant and double duties on imports. the same NATION’S DEAD HEROES.
