THE SENATE.

The senate convened at the usual hour,
all but five of the senators being in their
seats. A rather uninteresting session was
the result, the senator's minds being much
occupied with contemplating the storm
that was brewing on the senatorial queS-
ton. Although they appeared to try to
concentrate themselves upon the business
before them, it was evident that they could
not do so, and many lodged off into the
committee and cloak rooms to discuss the
all-absorbing theme. The Windomers tried
to appear calm and confident, but did not
wholly succeed. A little spirit was gotten
up in committee of the whole on the bill
relating to the partition of property, pen
ding which a recess was taken to meet the
the house of representatives to vote for
United States senator, and when that duty
had been performed, an immediate ad-
iournment took place.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The following is tn

Narrow Escape for the Clarendon Hotel
The Clarendon hotel last evening, was
the scene of genuine scare caused by an
explosion of gas meter, and for short
time it seemed as though st. Paul was to
add its quota to the list of recent hote
calamities.
The affair occurred about 6 o'clock
when the inmates of the hotel were startled
by loud explosion, followed by the ap-
pearance of cloud of smoke which filled
the bar and billiard room, and from thence
spread all over the house.
During the excitement some one turned
in still alarm of fire which brought the
hook and ladder trucks to the hotel, but in
the meantime, guest named Weaver and
Mr.. Tucker, clerk at the Clarendon, had
succeeded in putting out the fire at the ex-
pense of personal injuries
The fire was owing to the explosion of a
gas meter under the floor of the billiard
room. Mr.. Tucker, at the time, being en-
gagged in putting alcohol into the,
meter to thaw out the pipes,
as the gas would not burn,
In extinguishing the blaze Mr.. Tucker
badly burned mis- left hand, the flesh mere
ly hanging to the bones by shreds. Mr..
Weaver also burned his right hand, but
aside from this the material damage was
slight.

WINDOWS Donkeys.

A story with pointed application was
being repeated among house members just
before the meeting of the joint convention.
The story represented Window seated ct
the breakfast table at the Metropolitan de-
scribing to vis-a-vis a
recent trip to Colorado, in which he attend
ed to the changes in the mode and comfort
of travel as he proceeded West. He COM
menced the trip, he said, in palace car.
Then in time he had to transfer to the
ordinary railway coach, the stage coach,
the mud wagon, saddle horse, and last of
all to little, why Mexican donkey, which
was utilized principally by hanging on to
his tail when climbing some steep ascent.
At the end of the description, friend sit
ting at the same table, asked Window
what he thought of that donkey. why"
he answered, she was worth more than any
ten have now"

THE HOUSE.

The members of the house were late
IL getting together yesterday morning,
the senatorial matter apparently occupy
ing the attention of many of the members
to the exclusion of legislative business.
The farce of publishing the governors
message was set down upon heavy by vot-
ing down resolu tomb more than two
thirds vote, offered by Ole Peterson, to
print 1000 copies each in the German,
Norwegian, Swede and French, and 500 in
the Bohemian languages.
J.W. Arctander, of WIllmar, associate
district attorney for the Twelfth judicial
district, will probably serve out the term
of two years for which ne was elected at
the last election, Notwithstanding Mr.. An
derson's bill introduced Wednesday to
abolish the Office. Mr.. Arctander,
was about the legislature when the bill was
introduced. Whether this fact had any
effect, certain it is that when the commit
tee reported it back yesterday, it was with
an amendment concurred in by the house
continuing the Office until 1884, which cov-
ers the time for which Mr.. Alexander was
elected. The Office was created for Mr..
Arctander, it being unknown in any other
district.
Mr.. Bobleter's bill for the reorganiza-
ton of the National Guard of the state,
had narrow escape from defeat. When it
was reached there was small attendance of
members, a ma ority voting against the
10 bo
friends brought in q number of absentees
who got their votes recorded. In doing
this errors we're made in the tally, and the
speaker ordered the roll to be recalled
Then Mr.. Hicks made an
earnest plea for the bill, calling attention
to the fact that the efficiency of the North
ern army in the late war was largely due
to the militia organizations existing in the
different states, by which general knowl-
edge of details of drill, company move
ments and organization had been incul-
Gated, and fitting the members to be in
structors of the great masses of patriotic
though uninstructed masses who hocked to
the defense of the imperiledi Union. Al
the, conclusion of Mr.. Hicks remarks
the roll was again called and the
bill passed by large majority
ar example the senate will follow if it
acts wisely.
