DEERING AT PARIS IN 1900, The Famous Chicago Harvester Com- pany Recelved More and Greater Honers than Were Ever Before Accorded an American Exhibitor in the History of Expositions. America may well feel proud of the interest which her citizens took in the Paris Exposition and the elaborate ex- hibits which were prepared with con- summate skill and displayed in a man- ner not excelled by any other country. Those of Harvesting Machinery in par- ticular were most complete and inter- esting. The Deering Harvester Com- pany, of Chicago, America’s foremost manufacturer of this line of goods, was accorded the position of honor, having contributed more to the advancement of the art of harvesting than any other manufacturer, living or dead, and with a greater array of important inven- tions to its credit than any other com- pany in the world. : Visitors to the Exposition wers prompt to accord the Decring exhibits supreme honors, and it only remained for official mandate to ratify the popu- lar verdict, which was done in a man- ner as substantial as it was well-merit- ed. Each one of the seven Deering ex- | hibits secured the highest award in | its class. In addition to four high decora- tions, the Deering Harvester Company | received twenty-five awards, or twen- ty-nine in all, as follows: Decoration of Officer of the Legion of Honor, Dec- oration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Two Decorations of Officer ot Merite Agricole, a Special Certificate | of Honor, The Grand Prize, Six Gold Medals, Six Silver Medals and Eleven ing Deering Col- ion of the Legion of ituted by Napoleon irst Consul in 1802 conferred in recognition Honor v Bonapar and of guished military or civil | achiev: s. It is the highest dis- | tinction in the gift of the French Re public. | The Decoration of the Merite Agri- | cole is an honor of but slightly less im- | portance, which is conferred upon | those who bave contributed greatly io | the advancement of agriculture.

The Deering Twine Exhibit and Corn ster Exhibit, both of which re- ceived the highest awards, have by request of the French Government been presented to the National Agri- cultural College of France. There was no field trial, either ofi- cial or otherwise, in connection with the Paris Exposition, but the most im- portant foreign contest the past season was held under the auspices of the Russian Expert Commission at the Governmental Farm of Tomsk, Siberia, August 14th to 18th. All the leading American and European machines par- ticipated and were subjected to the st difficult tests by the Government uitur The Expert Commi: ied the Deering Harvester Com- y the Grand Silver Medal of the ter of Agriculture and Domain, hich was the highest award. The Deering Harvester Works are the largest of ir kind in the world, covering eighty-five acres and emplo} ing 9,000 people. They are equipped with modern automatic machines, many of which perform the labor of from five to een hands, This Company is also the largest | manufacturer of Binder Twine in the world, having been first to produce single-strand binder twine, such as is in general use teday, making over a third of the product of the entire world. The output of its factory for | a single day would tie a band around | the earth at the equator, with several thousand miles to spare. The annual production would fill a freight train twenty miles long. Made into a mat two feet wide, it would reach across the American continent from ocean to ocean. Deering machines are known as LIGHT DRAFT IDEALS, consisting of Binders, Mowers, Reapers, Corn Har- vesters, Shredders and Rakes. This company exhibited at the Paris fxposition an Automobile Mower, which attracted much attention, and exhibitions were given with one of these machines in the vicinity of Paris throughout the season.

St. Paul, April 3.—Vifctories for the Dunn direct primary election law marked every stage of its progress through a fierce all-day fight in the senate yesterda Its important sec- tions have been passed on, and the up- per house will pass the bill to-day, amended only in unimportant features. The scope of the law is unchanged. The amendments attached yesterday are of no special importtance, with one exception. Elective park, library and school board officers in cities of 50,000 or less are excepted from the operation of the act by an amendment from Sen- ator Barker. An amendment from Sen- ator Schaller provides that candidates for offices affording no compensation shall not be required to pay nomina- tion fees. In the House.

St. Paul, April 4.—After the hardest fight the senate has witnessed during the session the Dunn direct primary law was put upon its final passage at 12:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon and passed by an overwhelming majorit, xty-three vot in the upper house were cast for it, and only twelve against it. Three of the six senators absent or not voting had declared for the bill and would have recorded their votes had they been present. This was the result of four days of the hardest kind of par- liamentary warfare, that continued in and out of wor ation. A few additioral changes we: made in the bill yesterday, but none of them will stir up opposition in the house. The action of the lower branch will make it a law and Gov. Van Sant has indicated that he will sign it as soon as presented. The bill gees back to the house with few changes of im- nortanee. The Ives amendment elim- ates the de ration of previous po- al affiliation upon oath, but pro- des, as did the original bill, that the osrimary voter must signify the party. he wishes to vote for and can receiv but one ballot.

It now needs only the signature of Gov. Van Sant to become law, opera- tive after Sept. 1, 1901. The last skirmish of the long battle over the bill was short and decisive. The con- ference committee reported yesterday morning to both bodies that an agree- ment had been reached, which on the part of the senate involved recession from the Ives amendment which struck out the challenging clause. In the senate the opposition mustered only ten votes and in the house the oppos tion showed a total strength of twen- ty-seven votes. Senator Halvorson’s “blind pig” bill ran the gauntlet of another extended debate on special orders in the senate, and after it had been liberally amend- ed was passed unanimously.

The Deming bill, drawn to secure the parole of the Younger brothers, was yesterday, by a unanimous vote of the house, recalled from the governor for the purpose, as stated by the author in his motion for the recall, of mak- ing corrections. The corrections in question involve the adoption of an amendment eliminating the connection of the chief justice of the supreme court with the aperations of the pro- posed law. The attorney general holds that the legislature has no authority to delegate to the chief justice the power of paroling prisoners, and that by so-doing the bill is invalidated. D. S. Peterson's bill providing for a gross earnings tax of 10 per cent on telegraph companies operating in Min- nesota yesterday met defeat. In the House. St. Paul, April 8. — Resolutions of censure aimed at Representatives Waskburn and Jacobson, who pre- ferred charges of bribery in connection with the gross earnings bill, were in- troduced by Representative Laybourn of St. Louis Saturday, but went over Without action of the house under | notice of debate by Representative Allen. Mr. Laybourn will, unless the pressure brought to bear upon him pre is, force his resolutions t) a vote to-day. The report of the investiga tion committee, which found that the charges could not be sustained, laid over from Friday night, came up be- fore noon Saturday, and although a fight had been expected, was adopted without a dissenting vote. The Younger brothers’ hopes of lib- erty after imprisonment for twenty- four years, raised almost to the point of realization by the passage of the Deming bill, providing for the parole of life prisoners, was suddenly dashed to earth by the a n of the house in indefinitely postponing the bill recalied from the governor for the purpose of correction. entative Whitford’s memorial ng for the establish- nal park in Northern innesota to include the Leech Lake, Winnibigoshish and Chip- pewa Indian reservations, was recom- mended to pass by the house.

An amendment was attached to the Umland divorce bill in the senate yes- terday making the remarriage of any divorced person at a point outside of the state within the six months’ limit provided an act in contempt of court. The offense is punishable, however, only when the remarried party takes up his or her residence in the state again and within the same time limit.
