present. 1t was in honor of the legislature.
Gov. and Mrs. Hubbard received in the

ing the room through the private Office. The
receiving group stood in a semi-circle, with
Gov. and Mrs. Hubbard on the left, fronting
the main executive roon-Senator and Mrs.
D. NJ. Sabin, Gen. II. Fl. Sibley and Mrs.
Huntington (nee Hubbard) of Chicago, and
Mr.. and Mrs. H K Johnson of watonna

was used as drawing room, while the lat
ter canvassed throughout, was the ball
room, a platform being erected around the
speakers and clerks desk in the latter. on

room, and all the rooms and galleries were
thrown open and ablaze with electric lights
or gas jets.

party came up stairs to the senate chamber,
and the orchestra took their places piepara-
tory to the opening waltz. The walters were
Ubiquitous, courteous and excellent, and all
who wished to dance found ample room and
opportunity.
The scene was one of extraordinary bril-
lance, and has never been equalled in Min
nesota's capitol, nor elsewhere in the north
west. The exquisite toilettes of the ladies
with the somber neatness of The civilian
gentlemen acting as foil, the flash of many
uniforms-Gen. Alfred 81. Terry towering
conspicuous and the beau ideal of distin-
guished soldier-Jhe sweet strains from
horn and pipe. the radiance of the electric
light as it cleaned under the finish of the
diverse woods of gallery and wainscoting,
the merry hum of happy voices, and the
bright expression of every facial secured
an ensemble which might we'll fill with
pride the heart of Mrs. Hubbard, who has
personally snperintended the arrangements.
Nearly all the members of both branches
of the legislature, many of them accompa-
MED by their wives, and other lady friends,
were in attendance, aud the leading cities
throughout the states were generously rep

Senate, Saturday, Feb "a.

Gov. Hubbard voted the bill reducing the
rate of interests on sales of public lands
from to 5 per cent, his objections, as set
forth in the veto message, being that the re-
troactive arrangement making the reduction
apply on interest on moneys now due, at
tached in the house and agreed to by the
senate, is unconstitutional. Attorney Cen
eral Hahn has spent much time upon the
matter and his letter to the governor, from
which the points of the me ssge are made
is exceedingly full and comprehensive.
The question was then upon the passage
of the bill despite the veto, and thistle
usua-motion was lost by the vote of IL to
%. senator Clarke Immediately introduced
bill rescuing the interest as did the other,
but without the retroactive amendment.
A bill was introduced authorizing the

reducing the rate of interest on land sales
rom to per cent. The house amend

Against the protest of the Ramsey county
delegation, a bill was passed yesterday ap
propriating $4,000 to pay the city of st. Paul
for the use of the Market house. By COM
mon consent the sum was reduced from
$4,000 as contained in the original bill to
the amount appropriated.
During the present session large num-
Der of bills incorporating towns and VIII
lagos have been referred to the judiciary
committee, because of the amendment to the
constitution passed in 1881 prohibiting spec
ial legislation. Numerous ibills amending
the acts Incorporating towns and villages
have also been passed. The question has
arisen whether the legislation have power
to pass such acts, and, ii so, if such action
be not special legislation and therefore lille
gal.
The decision of the attorney general.
which was received and read, is to the eff
feet that the amendment of 1881 does pro-
hibit the passage ofbills incorporating towns
and villages, but acts passed previous to that
amendment can legally be amended. This
amendment does not, however, prohibit the
incorporating power of the legislature as re-.
