On the St. Paul & Sioux City railroad west
of Crystal lake, yesterday morning, the weather
was warm and rainy until about the middle OF
the forenoon, when the rain turned to snow.
The wind of Friday continued and the situa-
ton at nightfan was not all encouraging. The
road may be opened tomorrow, but that de-

certainly uncertain.
The Iowa & Minnesota division of the Mil
waukee Il st. Paul railway was supposed to
be clear yesterday, the train due from that
road Friday evening having been worked
through about fourteen hours late. But
there.was troublesome wind and some light
snow on the line, and where yesterdays train
rested last night was not made known.
The st. Paul & Duluth, which was DISTRICT
ed Friday, was clear yesterday and a thawing
temperature with no wind was reported ali
along the line.
The St. Paul & Manitoba train of Friday
night for Fargo, having been suspended on
account of snow drifts, the train sent out
last evening for Fergus Falls, will go through
to Moorhead and Fargo. The road. on hofh
main lines, was last evening considerably OBJ
structed but no passenger trains were sus.
pended.
The Northern Pacific train which left St.
Paul Friday night, reached Fargo at 315 p.
M. yesterday, seven hours and a quarter behind

GOING FOR MARSHALL.
Prescribing the duties of railroad commits
sioner.
Senator D. Buck said he did not want to
place so much power in the hands of one man.
Under the provisions of the bill railroad
commissioner might fix any rates he pleased,
and thus impose oppressive rates upon the
public.
Senator Crooks said the bill was pernicious
one. We are endeavoring to build railroads
on the frontier, and such legislation would
destroy the credit of railroad companies nego-
tiating loans in the East to continue the con-
struction of their lines.
Senator Kinds declared there was a neces-
sity for such bill. Complaints come to the
legislature that determinations are made by
railroad corporations. The railroad commits
sioner had no duties of public character to
perform. There is no law requiring him to
fix rates. When the office was created he had
duties to perform, and the purpose Of the bill
was to give him something to do, and then if
he did not suit the people could put some one
in his place who would do his duty.
Senator Crooks characterized the office as a
sinecure which ought to be abolished. 1t was
of no possible benefit to the people of the

WE publish on the seventh page this
morning vigorous criticism upon the So
called sawdust legislation, or more prop
erly the lack of such legislation. There
is no shadow of doubt that the Mime
apoIs vomit of sawdust into the river
has damaged the State to the extent Of
millions Of dollars by impeding the free
navigation of the river, and it passes
comprehension that any intelligent man
can be bamboozled with the idea that
this outrageous violation Of public rights
should not be restrained by law

THIRTEEN members of the St. Paul
chamber of commerce voted to issue
$4,000 in bonds to buy three hundred
and SIXTY feet of sidewalk on Third
street. The object of the purchase is to
enable the public to discharge its bad
breath into the river, there to mingle
with the Minneapolis sawdust. Our del
egation in the legislature, with the good
judgment Characteristic of tn EN-, propose
to submit the matter to the people.
Thirty-six thousand dollars in bonds is
a good many for thirteen men to handle

SENATE.

The Senate performed a considerable
amount of important work yesterday and
left some undone. Senator Rice didn't
consider it advisable to put his bill fixing
freight rates on railroads on it's final pas
sage. 1t didn't appear to be good day
to restrict railroads, nor to pass laws for
the disposal of money received from the
sale of swamp lands. Neither was it a
good day to reimburse V. P. Kennedy for
moneys expended, etc., for his bill was
set down upon and he will have to have
the vote reconsidered and wait until the
"boys" are good natured before he gets
his little $500 It wasn't good day to
prescribe the duties of the railroad COM
missioner either, but the way that over
worked individual was banged around,
when Mr.. Kinds bill prescribing other
labor than drawing his salary came up
for third reading, would make cat
laugh. 1t appeared to be the opinion of
the Senate that he hadn't any thing to do,
and wouldn't do it if he had, 50 the bill
was defeated. There was an executive
session lasting two hours for the confir-
nation of appointments of the governor
The only interesting thing which oc-
CURED whilst the doors were closed was
pending the confirmation of Thomas
Simpson, of Winona. 1t so happened
that the greatest opposition came from
the Democratic side of the House. Sen
ator Miller accused the Democrats of
making party fight, whereupon the two
Bucks, one in front and the other in the
rear, turned upon him and hunted him
thoroughly, the particulars of which will
appear in the "Cartoon."
The legislative apportionment bill had
a brief hearing in committee of the whole
and amendments were offered and reject
ed. Senator Powers protested vigorous
ly against the injustice of the apportion-
ment IN Fillmore county, which is allow
ed but one Senator, thus apportioning
him out of the chance of an election in
the future. Senator Macdonald pointed
ly objected to the way the representative
districts of his county were gerrymander-
ed for political purposes, one district
having population of 1000 and the
other only 1900, and both districts badly
shaped geographically. If there had been
the slightest intention to deal with the
minority justly, his objections would
have been needed. The bill was recon-
mended to pass without any changes.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
The House then went into committee of The
whole, Mr. Amundson in the chair, on the
bills on the clerks desk. Some fifty bills of
local and special character, to which there
was no opposition, were recommended for pas
sage.
The two bills relating to the printing and
distribution of the supreme court reports were
considered together-one known as the Gala
han (Chicago) bill, and the other as the West
(St. PauI bill Messrs. Hicks, Collins, Dunn,
and Thompson favored the former, and Messrs.
Smith, Sanborn, Baxter, Comstock, Gearey,
and Norrish the latter. The debate opened in
lively style, and was kept up without inter-
mission from 9 o'clock till quarter past IL,
half dozen members being frequently ON the
floor at the same time seeking for hearing.
For time the House was a perfect bedlam.
The chair used the gavel vigorously but was
unable to restrain the confusion. The contest
finally narrowed down into question of
whether the industry of publishing the reports
should be maintained in Minnesota, or
whether it should be sent to Chicago, as both
propositions were substantially the same The
committee finally recommended the Callahan
bill for indefinite postponement and the West
bill for passage. The committee then rose.
Mr.. Hicks excepted from the report the rec
ommendaton on the Callahan BILL and moved
that il be laid On the table. The motion was
lost by vote of 26 yeas to 80 nays.
Mr.. Smith moved that the report Of the
committee rs to the bill be adopted, which
was carried, Mr.. Hicks voting in the affirna-
tive with an intention of moving to reconsider
the vote.
