part of the school book ring, instigated by the
Superintendent and emanating from cities not
under the operation of the law, and for the pur-
pose of breaking down the excellent law of last
winter.
Senator Nelson moved to refer the bill to a
special committee of three.
Senator Lienau hoped the motion would not
prevail, and read from a letter asserting the
presence OF agents of the ring in Carver county,
working on the sly to secure signatures to pc
tltlons to repeal the school book law, re-
sorting to the use of beer and other appliances
to secure signers
Senator J. B. Gilfllan said after the state
ments made OF the means being used to get up
petltions to be presented here for the repeal of
ene scnool law, he hoped the reference to a
SPECIAL committee would be had. so that thor
ougn investigation could be had and the fact
ascertalned, If a fact, that the Legislature was

lsts hired by dishonest ring.
With this idea Senator Donnelly withdrew
his motion, and Senator Nelson's motion for
special committee was put and carried.

RESUMPTION REPEAL.
At ten o'clock the Senate resolved itself into
committee of the whole, and took up the spe-
clal order, the resolution of Senator Doran, de-
clar1ng for the repeal of the specie resumption
| act, and Senator Henry moved that when
the committee rise, resolution be recommend
ed Tor passage. Mr. Henry favored the adop-
| eioAA VI ulC 1CSO1uGlOll. he also hoped to
the dual standard of our fathers soon made the
law OF the land. but he feared that even with
this measure a law, that specie resumption
would result in widespread rnin.
Senator Rice offered an amendment recon
mendlng the amendment of the present law
extending the time for resumption to January
| 1885.
| Senator Donnelly objected to the amend
ment, because it arbitrarily names time whe,
resumption shall be had. 1t appeared to hin
that the true way to resume was to resume ius
when, and no sooner, than the country wa:
ready for it.
Senator Hall favored the amendment, believ
ing IT the law was repealed some date should
be fixed.
Senator Armstrong, while he did not propos
to say but little, had no hesitation in declaring
| himself In favor of the repeal of the resump
non act; 1t had been asserted, apparently truth
fully, that if the act were allowed to remain
M MaH street ct could clean out the specie in tn
National Treasury in eight days. The remone
| tlzatlon of silver could not now be instrumen
| tai IN swelling the volume OF specie to al
amount sufficient to avert this threatened evil
ne moved to amend the amendment by namin
l9OO as the date for resumption.
Senators Hall and Henry opposed this mo
ton, the latter holding that with silver remon
| etlzed resumption could be reached before tina
date without any injury.
:, Senator Armstrong was a good deal of tn
| the same opinion of Horace Greeley that whe1
the country was ready to resume let it resume
and he was not in favor of fixing any arbitrar
GATE; but II any date was to be declared il
iaVor OF by this Legislature, he wanted it a
Tar away as possible. Finally he moved to re
Ter the original resolutions and amendments t
the committee Federal relations, which me
tlon prevailed.
PARIS EXPOSITION
Ihe bill appropriating 1000 for Minnesc
Ia representation at the Paris exposition wa
taken up, and Senator Lienau said he moved i
the matter at the suggestion of leading citizen
OF the State, who thought the exposition woul
a11ord an opportunity to remedy the mistake
made IN the matter of the Philadelphia expos
ton. Since the bill had been introduced.
nad become evident that the sentiment of tn
ntate was opposed to such representation. H
therefore moved the indefinite postponemen
OF the bill. which motion prevailed without
dissenting voice.

| SECOND STATE PRISON.
In committee of the whole. the matter q
the location of a second State prison was cor
sldered at some length, during which the state
ment was made by Senator Horton of til
prison committee that the bill for the appoint
ment OF commission to select location tina
OF Senator Macdonald met with the approva
OF the committee.
Senator Donnelly objected to the provisio
CT the bill allowing the Governor to name tn
COMMISSION, claiming that the matter ought t
be left entirely with the Legislature, He ais
argued that the location ought to be in tn
western part of the State, now without an
State institution, and stated that he doubte

ought to be considered
Senator j. B. Gilfllan held that the best II
terests of the State should take preference E
location in the selection. Senator Henry an
others took the same view. Finally it bein
evident that the present bill did not meet til
views of Senators, it was referred back to tn
committee and made the special order f,
