They Regurd the Latest News From Samoa as Serious. 3erlin, April 14. — There was much agitation in the foreign office during the afternoon owing to the latest news from Samoa ‘The ambushing of the American and English detachment by Mataafa warriors is taken here in the most serious light. ‘The dispatch which reached minister of state from Consul Rose is taken as clearly exonerating Germans from any hand in the matter, 4s was first feared might possibly be the the FLA and Italians Fraternize i in Sardinia, Cagiiari, Island of Sardinia, April 14. —he officers of the French and Ital- fan fleets attended the theater yester- day evening.

Philadelphia, April 12. — Ex-United States Senator Matthew S. Quay and his son, Richard R. Quay, were called to the bar of the court of quarter ses- sious yesterday, and after many months of vexatious delay the trial of the two defendants was begun. Spe- cial cards of admission, permitting only those directly interested in the case, witnesses, jurors and newspaper men j had been issued. Even members of the bar who were not in the case were withheld admission. As a result the court room was but little more than half-filled, and the greater portion of those present were witnesses. Judge Craig Biddle, one of the oldest and most respected members of the bench, was the trial judge. Distri¢t Attorney Rothermille, after two hours had been spent in selecting a jury, elected to try the ex-senator first on that one of the five indictments (that in which he and his son are variously named) which charges Mr. Quay and the late ex- State Treasurer Benjamin J. Haywood with conspiracy in using the state funds for their personal profit and in a manner unauthorized by law. ~This action practically leaves the ex-sen- ater alone on trial. Beyond the se lection of a jury and the examintaion of one witness, Thomas W. Barlow, receiver of the People’s bank, nothing Was done.

C., April 12.—Eleven alleged Lake City lynchers were placed on trial in the United States circuit court here yesterday. The case against J. P. Newham and Earl P. Lee, the men who turned state’s evi- dence, was dropped by the request of the district attorney, and this accounts 'for the fact that eleven instead of thirteen men are now on trial. The hearing occupied seven hours, much of which was taken up with reading and re-reading the indictment and in arguing the technical questions raised by the defease. After a technical ob- jection to the jury panel had been dis- posed of the jury was sworn. It is composed of white men of means and standing in the different centers here- abouts. The afternoon session was taken up with another reading of the indictment together with a statement ' made by district Attorney Lathrop.

St. Paul, April 12. — Whatever evi- dence may be adduced either in vindi- eation of condemnation of the officers of the Fifteenth Minnesota volunteers for their conduct during the mutiny on the morning of Feb. 5 will be kept secret by the board of inquiry, which is now in session in th earmy build- ing in St. Paul. The decision to hold these sessions in secret was reached yesterday after the organization of the board was accomplished. It was voted that newspaper representatives should not be admitted and the witnesses were cautioned against telling of the proceedings. BOLIVIAN REVOLUTION. ‘The Government of President Alon- zo Sorely Pressed by Insurgents, Lima, Peru, April 12. — Advices re- ceived here in regard to the revolution in Bolivia say that the situation at Oruro, where President Alonzo has es- tablished his base of operations, is des- perate.

St. Paul, April 10.—Goy. Lind sent in three messages to the legislature on Saturday. In one message the govern- or recommends a larger plant for the binding twine industry at the state prison. He catis attention to the fact that orders from farmers for binding twine are returned every day as the entire product has already been dis- posed of to the farmers. He recom- mends extending the plant so as to in- crease its capacity 50 per cent. The second refers to interest on state de- posits and the third refers to the col- lection of delinquent personal taxes. The house worked through its entire order of business, leaving a general orders of only thirty-five bills and a calendar even shorter with which to begin the last week of the session. The O'Neill bill, providing for a modifica- tion of the Torrens system of Jand transfers, was a special order for 10:30. The Dill is a formidable document of some thirty printed pages, and the forenoon session was given up to read- ing it by sections for amendment. A dozen changes of a purely verbal char- acter were adopted. In the afternoon, instead of asking for a vote, Mr. O'Neill said that inasmuch as the printed bill had only been before the house twenty- four hours hé would not ask immediate action. He moved that the bill go to the calendar, which was ordered. The Wilson parole bill had been set as a special order also, but» was postponed until this afternoon. The Daugherty peddler license bill-was revived in the afternoon long enough to be killed a second time. The Senate. The senate spent most of the day in debate on the Peterson bill to reduce the rate of interest and extend the time for payment of the unpaid principle on all state lands hercicfore or to be here- aftex sold by the state land commis- sioner. The lands in question are the school lands of the state. The interest rate is now 5 per cent per annum, and the principal must be paid in forty years from the time of purchase. The proposed new law will reduce the inter- est to 4 per cent and extend the period of payment to fifty years. After being discussed at length, the friends of the bill, fearing the loss of the measure on account of the small attendance of senators, had it advanced from general orders to the calendar without making an effort to secure its passage, and it will be taken up for final action at 2:30 o'clock * Tuesday afternoon, the friends of the measure securing the adoption of a motion to that effect on a rising vote of’ 23 to 21. St. Paul, April 11- he Wilson pa- role bill, better known as the Young- er brothers bill, was killed beyond rest urrection in the house yesterday after- noon. ‘The bill received but 81 votes, while 68, or more than a majority of the whole house, voted against it. And then to make it certain that it would not appear in the house again at this session a motion to reconsider was yored down, thus, from a parliamen- tary point of view, “cinching” the de- feat. The debate was prolonged threughout the entire afternoon, the bill being considered as a special order, and the vote was not taken until after 6 o'clock. By no means all the gentle- men who desired to address the house on this subject had had their oppor- tunity when the discussion was sud- denly brought to a close by the previ- ous question, forced by the enemies of the bill after they had monopolized most of the time given to the debate. The following bills were passed: Authorizing the governor to assign reserve forces of the national guard to active duty during the absénce of a corresponding number of the regular organizations. — Authorizing counties, cities and villages to use automatic ballot machines. — Relating to the ap- propriation of money by counties, cities or villages. for the support of societies in prevention of cruelt Establishing a naval reserve. In- creasing the penalty for violation of the law to prevent the spread of noxious weeds from open freight cars. — Prohibiting the licensing of saloons in villages in buildings erected here- after within 400 feet of school houses. — Requiring railroad companies to furnish cabooses with toilet rooms. — Relating to drainage. The Senate. The senate yesterday passed by 2 vote of 36 to 5 the judiciary committee bill to subject the salary of all officers and employes of counties, cities, towns and villages, except school teachers to process of garnishment. attachment and execution. The enactment of this bill into a law will affect every fire- man and policeman in the state, to say nothing of the other officials, such as clerks, heads, of departments, ete., all of whom are now exempt from garnishment proceedings for the col- lection of debt. The senate spent nearly all of yes- terday on the calendar, passing forty- three bills, of which number twenty- four are house bills, and will, there- fore, become laws as soon as they are signed by the governor. The Jepson medical bill. which has been before the senate nearly all the session, in one form or another, was _ indefinitely postponed, by consent of the commit- tee. Senator J. H. Smith had his Becker county drainage bill killed on account of legal objections to such a measure, The Wilson bill to amend the laws so as ‘to make a married wo- man equally liable with her husband for debts and allowing her the same right to deed her property, was killed on the calendar by a vote of 25 to 13. eens St. Paul, April 12. — The two bills recommended by the capitol commis- sion amending the existing law gov- erning the construction of the new capitol were passed by the house yes- terday. One of the bills relieves the commission of the necessity of retain- ing 10 per cent of the amount of any contract to insure its faithful per- formance. The other bill is the one which insures the prompt completion of the capitol. It extends the .2 of a mill tax levy which was provided in the original act, and which was lim- ited in its operations to ten years, to such a time as it shall have produced the $2,000,000, to which the cost of the puilding was limited. It then allows the commission to issue certificates of indebtedness to the amount of the balance remaining unpaid of this $2,- 000,000. “ Mr. O'Neill secured the indorsement of the house for his modification of the Torrens system of land transfers. Mr. Staples had the Barker dupli- cate of his . Anoka-Hastings insane asylum bill taken from the table. He offered. several amendments to make it conform more nearly to the ideas sage. The bill was then made a spe- cial order for 10:30 to-day. The omnibus appropriation bill as it was reported yesterday by the appro- priations committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate, carries $1,883,265.28, as against $1,955,- 359.15 carried by the bill reported two years ago, a difference of some $72,000 in favor of thé present measure. It may be slightly amended in either iiouse to-day, for its consideration is set as a special order for the after- noon sessions of both houses. The Senate. The senate yesterday took up the Peterson house bill to reduce the inter- est on state school lands from 5 to 4 per cent per annum and killed the measure. by a vote of 30 to 26. The senate was under call for ab- sentees yesterday afternoon in con- siceration of the Jacobson bill to in- crease the gross earnings tax on rail- roads, from 2:15 until 5:20 o'clock, and during that time no business whatever was transacted. The particular ab- sentee that the senate wished to have present was J. T” McGowan (Dem.) of Minneapolis, At the latter hour, a dil- igent search of St. Paul and Minne- apolis by the sergeant-at-arms, his as- sistant and a half-dozen hurriedly im- pressed deputies, having failed to re- the whereabouts of Senator Mc. Gowan, his colleagues decided to abandon the effort to place him on record as to his position on the gross earnings tax bill, and a motion to take the measure from the table and reconsider the ‘vote whereby it was killed more than a week ago was de- feated by a vote of 27 to 34. During the time that the senate was not searching for Senator McGowan it tnrned its hand to the consideration of bills on the calendar and that order of business was cleared up, twenty- two bills being passed, of which num- ber all but two were house bills and will go direct from the nate to the office of the governor for his appro None of the bills passed were of gen- eral interest and there was scarcely any opposition to any of them, If the resolution introduced by Sen- ater Horton this morning gets through the house as it did through the sen- ate, by a unanimous vote, one of the two niches now reserved for Minne- sota in the national gallery at V ington will be occupied by a statue of Henry M. Rice. St. Paul, April 13.—The senate terday adopted the report of its com- mittee on taxes and tax laws on the Dyer bill to increase the gross earn- ings tax on the business of express companies from 3 to 6 per cent. The amendment ofthe taxes committee re- dused the tax to 41-2 per cent, and as amended the bill was passed. The senate adopted the first nine sections of the omnibus appropriation — bill, which was taken up as a special order at 2:30 o’cldck in the afternoon. A to- tal of $11,000 was added to the bill, making the z it now stands in the senate $1,894 28. The Hous ‘The Duluth normal school proposi- tion was saved in the house by the votes of those who intended to vote it. The question was on striking out the section providing for $37.500 for 1900 and 500 for 1901 for building this school, and the roll was called.- The vote ood 50 to strike out, 51 against striking out. It is said that several members voted un- der misapprehension, thinking the question was on the merits of the proposition, which of course would have reversed the vote. The bill was under discussion the greater part of the afternoon and was finally passed by a vote of 73 to 22 ‘The house devoted a greater portion of the forenoon session to the Barker insane asylum bill, and finally passed it in amended form by a vote of 6S to 37. St. Paul. April 14.—The senate yes- terday substituted the house omni- bus appropriation bill for the senate measure, added a total of $66,850 to the house bill and passed the measure by a vote of 38 to 22. The total amount carried by the house bill was $1,821 28." As the bill ‘will be re- ported back to the house with senate amendments the total is $1,888,365.28. In this increase the house will be asked to coneur. The bill was taken up at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and from that time until after 7 o’clock in the evening no other business was transacted. Twwo- thirds cf the time devoted to consid- eration of the bill was spent in de- bate on the proposition to appropriate money for continuous sessions in state normal schools. The House. For the first time in several days the house got into committee of the whole yesterday afternoon, Mr. Roberts in the chair. The house calendar, containin gonly_ two bills, Examiner — Pope’s bills amending the law of 1867 and the law of 1879, relating to savings banks. There seemed to be no one who was sufficiently advised or sufficiently in- terested to give the detailed explana- tion of the bills which was demanded, and the first one consequently received but 27 votes to 60 in opposition. Be- ing banking acts they require two- thirds or 80 yotes to pass. The second bill was thereupon laid over. St. Paul, April — The senate yes- terday concurred in the house amend- ments to the Barker bill to locate asyl- ums at Anoka and Hastings and re- passed the bill. There is little doubt that the governor will sign the amend- ed bill. A joint memorial to ‘congress pray- ing for a full and fair investigation of the charges made against officers of the Fifteenth Minnesota volunteers rel- ative to a mutiny, by Gen. Young, was passed under suspension of the rules, The following bills were passed: To provide that county superintend- ents visit schools at certain intervals. —To provide for detention wards in city hospitals for the alleged insane, to be located in ‘cities of 50,000 or niore inhabitants.—To encourage a bet- ter condition of the public schools and to, appropriate money therefor. be The House. It took the house considerably Tong- er to pass the bill reducing the fees for oil inspection than it did to get it through the committee of the whole. Mr. Grondahl kept up his fight on the Ineasure after an amendment making it take effect Jan. 1, 1901, was rejected. The bill was finally passed by a vote of 79 to 16. Messrs. Umland, Staples and West, the special committee to which was re- ferred the Umland bill making it a misdemeanor for an officer of a state institution to incur an indebtedness in excess of an appropriation made, re- ported it back with some amendments. The amended bill was passed unani- mously. The so-called Underleak , anti-trust bill was a special order in the house for 10:30, but when it was taken up Mr. Dwinnell, who has the matter in charge, presented an entirely new bill by way of amendment. The bill was made a special order for to-day at 10:30. The following bills were passed: Reducing the fees for oil inspection. — Appropriating $20,000 for Itasca state park. — Relating to the transfer of liquor licenses. — To prevent sales of merchandise in fraud of creditors.— Requiring baking powders te be marked with list of ingredients. — To prevent the adulteration of white lead and mixed paints.—Providing that two or more railroad companies may be joined in an action to recover damages incurred by a shipper of live stock. — To regulate the expenditure of appro- priations by state institutions, making it a misdemeanor for any state officer or member of a board to exceed their appropriation.

Priladelph April 16. — Persistent, keen and brilliant argument between District Attorney Rothermel on the one side and Messrs. Watson, Shapley and Shields on the other, upon the ad- mission of testimony which may go a long way to establish the alleged guilt of ex: ited States Senator Quay was the feature of yesterday’s trial of that distinguished defendant, and it cul- minated in a decided victory for the prosecution. The “red book” found in’ Casnier Hopkins’ desk after his sui- cide, and upon the admission of which the commonwealth so largely rests its case, was the shaft the district attor- ney aimed at the defense. To pave the way for the final effort to introduce the book itself, he succeeded, after fre- quent clashes with opposing counsel, sometimes bitter and personal, in pre- i senting expert testimony to prove that i the book was necessarily a book of the bank, as accounts in the bank’s books, as admitted under the court’s ruling, would be made intelligible by the red ‘book.
