Legislators NO More.
At almost the last hour of the session
the stencil and smell engendered by the
Duluth 81 Winnipeg was removed from
the house. A majority of the public
lands committee reported in favor of

'-Heidemann, j. n. Johnson and Holm
strom-reported for the passage of the
pill. The bill as presented did not con-
tain Saturdays amendment to forfeit
the Brainerd SS Northwestern grant.
A motion was made to adopt the
minority report, and place the bill upon
the calendar.
Mr.. Searle-It is only matter of justice
that the bill should now go to the calendar.
Mr.. Morgan-We are now invited to com
pietely change front Oh this question. This
is matter for the courts-not for us-to de-
eide, and l sincerely hope the bill will be
indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Crosstield-The house has once directly
postponed such bill as this
Mr.. Morgan-Does any one imagine that il
this bill passes the lands will go anywhere
but to the Brainerd & Northwestern, i. e.,
the Manitoba railroad? The state OF Minne-
sofa will never get an acre of this land. ?
Mr.. Searle-Why has the public lands COM
mittee changed front? 1t is well known that
on Saturday they made all amendment to
this bill which does not appear now.
+. G. Stevens-In the opinion of the public
lands committee, if we pass this bill we SIM
ply grant 3, 200, GOO acres more of land to the
Brainerd Il Northwestern, or rather the Man
itoba railroad. We ascertaincd that we could
not repeal the grant of 1885 to the Brainerd
d Northwestern. That road has eight years,
or until 1893, to earn these lands, and the
amendment proposed would simply have
stultifed the entire bill 1t was clearly IN
constitutional.
Mr.. Smith-We ought to have the privilege
of voting upon this bill The public lands
committee didn't meet ON this bill until they
were driven to meet -
Mr.. Crossfield-If there is any blame to be
attached to the public lands committee, it is
to be attached to me. The friends of this
bill stole it frc m my desk, and for the pur-
pose of prejudic1ng the cause of the opposi-

MURDERED AND BURNED.
Terrible Tragedy in Mason Coun.
ty, North Carolina.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April cav. P.
Wood, of Mason county, is an industri-
GUS and sturdy farmer. who, by bard
and regular work, has been able to sup
port his wife and five children, and save
a few hundred dollars besides. This
money Wood always kept in his house,
as there were no banks convenient, and
this fact was generally known in his
nelghborhood. Monday last he was
called away, and returned Friday to
find his dwelling in ashes. Without
thinking it was probable that his
family was burned with his house, he
went among his nearest neighbors to in
quire of their whereabouts. No one
could give him any tidings. And as he
lived five miles from any neighbor the
fact was not known among them that
his house was burned. Sympathizing
friends then joined him in his search
for his family. AS last resort they
turned towards the spot where the dwell
ing had stood. Woods family consisted
OF his wife, three sons and two daugh-
tiers. Wood declares it was not possible

play than to have had what promises TO
be such ridiculously absurd attempt az
a national celebration as will be wit
messed in New York next Tuesday. The
Philadelphia centennial was a grand
success, because it was arranged accord
ing to American ideas. The New York
affair will be base copy of English
social customs. From first to last it has
only been a row among gilded aristo-
Gratis for precedence. The management
has been in the hands of elderly dudes,
who know how to cook terrapln and are
fashion connoisseurs, but who haven't
the slightest idea of the principles that
underlie popular government.

A proposition was made that the spe-

rising of the legislature and make their
report to the governor.

DURHAM RETIRES.
The Resignation of First Comp,
~troller Takes Effect.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-First Comp
troller Durham severed his connection
with the treasury department. to-day.
He rendered his resignation on the
change of administration, and it was
accepted by Secretary Window TODAY
to take effect at once There are several
explanations for this action. The one
generally accepted by those supposed to
be .acquainted with the inside facts, is
that the first comptroller has taken
position in several official matters en-
tlrely at variance with the views of the
present administration. The immediate
cause OF the change is due to personal
misunderstanding between Attorney
General Miller and First Comptroller
Durham IN regard to the accounts
of John L. Davenport, as super
visor of elections in New York,

The Senate Precipitateiy Adj
Journs Amid Loud Applause.
The senate held three sessions yester-
day. From to 1890 o'clock, to 6
O'Clock, and to IL o'clock. Legislators
were disposed to give vent to their bois-
ferrous feelings, and several INDUCED in
the frolicsome pastime of throwing
articles at one another. They were like
lot of schOolboys, unable to contain
their eXuberance at the thought of re-
turning to their homes!l The evening
session was very turbulent, and with a
crowded lobby and well-iilled gallery
business was transacted with great diff
Guilty. At 1:45 Mr.. Durant suggested
a recess for fifteen minutes, but the
proposition was voted down, and imme-
diately NJ. johnson moved THAT the
senate do now adjourn" Loud cries
were raised against this, and personal
appeals were made for the withdrawal
OF the motion, but the gentlman from
Kandiyohi county would not yield. His
motion was seconded by senators from
all quarters of the chamber, and the roll
was called:
iYeas-Brown, Buchanan, Burkhardt Clark,
Clough, Dodge, Finseth, Hall, Hixson John
son, NJ, johnson, H. Keller, Nachbar, Mel
son, Oswald, Pope, Sampson, Shields, Wall
mark, Whiteman, Wood-2l.
.Nays-Anderson, Bowen, Compton, Gran
dali, Day, Durant, Eaton. Goodrich, Halvor-
sen, Hoard Holmes Ives, Lende, Scheffer,
Smith, Swenson, Thacker-11.
Loud cheers greeted the result, but
Mr.. Durant entered a protest against
the adjournment. requesting it to be en-
tered in the journal. Messrs. G.. S.
Ives, D. f. Goodrich, F. A. Day, Albert
Scheffer also signed the protest. There
were about fifty house files and several
senate files returned with amendments
ENACTED upon, but none were of special
Importance. Half an hour more work,
+ however, would have cleared the secre-
tary,s desk of all bills. The senate will
meet at 10 O'CLOCK this morning to re-
ceived resolutions and communications
from the governor. The final adjourn
ment will be at II o'clock.

WANT 1T WET.

The staid old Puritan fathers of the
Bay state will continue to take sugar in
theirn, just as their pilgrim ancestors
did. They are willing for everybody
else to have prohibition, but they want
none of it at home, as was forcibly
demonstrated by the vote on the consti-
tutional amendment in that state yes
terday. Now that prohibition is a
signal failure in New England. it is
about time that the Prohibitionists
should hang their harps on the willows
and amuse themselves with some new
issue.

Z The session of the senate was entirely
devoted to the passing of bills. Law
making opened at o'clock, and from
thence to midnight, with short intervals
for dinner and supper, the secretary's
tongue was at work--reading bills and
calling the roll. Senators sat listleSsly
in their seats. and the buzz of converse
ton in the lobby made it very difficult
to intelIigently follow the trend of bust
ness. President Rice vigorously called
for order, but his efforts were not suffi-
GENTLY backed up by the legislators
themselves, in fact two senators so far
forgot their senatorial dignity as to in
dulge in the exhilarating pastime of
throwing papers at each other. 1t was
under such circumstances that over one
hundred laws were recommended to be
placed On the statutes of the state.

The State VIII Test the AUSTRALIAN

The Scheffer election bill having been
killed in the house, the Ramsey senator
at once set to work to resuScitate the
Keyes election bill in the senate. This
bill provides for the establishment of
the Australian election law in cities of
10000 inhabitants and upwards. The
measure was quickly adopted under a
suspension of rules. Mr.. Scheffer's
magnanimous conduct is in striking
contrast to that of Mr. Keyes. who did
all he could to kill the Scheffer measure
in the house. But for Nlr. Scheffer the
state would have groaned for two more
years under the cumbersome Whiteman
law.

SECRETARY NOBLE has requested the
suspension of legal proceedings insti-

THREE New England states will, in

A CASE decided by The court at
Omaha, Oh Friday, illustrates some
thing of the reason why the majesty of
the law does not inspire such popular
respect as is desirable. A young man
was convicted of murder year and a
half or so ago, and sentenced to jail for
twenty years. Faulty instructions by
the judge caused the supreme court to
remand the case for trial. The wit
nesseS were dispersed and new court
officials on duty. so that no case was
made out, and the defendant was
promptly acquitted, although there was
no question as to his guilt. The case

matters of family detail. lie finds that
