GOVERNOR LEE's POSITION.
Governor Lee maintained today during
the conference that he has simply executed
the law az he interpreted 1t. and said That
he considered II his duty 10 take the action
which had been taken. Lewis had leased

This would include Lewis as well az all
others. If this is done Governor Jackson
will recall his recent proclamation, and

THE PROHIBITION GHOST.

Republican politicians of this state
are inclined to the ostrich mode of nom
observance of the swelling clamor of
the Prohibitionists for constitutional
amendment. They fear that action that
means anything will hurt the party.
The question is troubling them more or
less i'll most of the legislatures they con-
troll. In one branch of the Illinois
legislature it was the special order yes
teruay, and bill for submission is eX-
pected to come up in the Nebraska leg
isIature to-day. 1t has passed the sen
ate, and the Prohibitionists are conf
dent of getting the necessary three
fourths in the house. The situation in
that state is very similar to that in Min
nesota. High license has been the Re
publican policy. but it has not been able
to more than temporarily smother the
fires of prohibition. They are now
bursting out so furiously as to capture a
legislature almost unanimously Repub-
lican. 1t will be the same in Minnesota.
The question may be STAYED Off two
years, but the pounding will go on. 1t
will puzzle the manipulators to keep
the water and whisky mixed just right
to insure Republican dominance.

was voted down. A motion was then
made to strike out the fourth clause en-
tirely. This clause was considered the
most important in the hill. 1t was
stricken out by heavy majority, most
OF the Democratic senators present vot-
ing in the affirmative. An amendment
was then offered striking out Of the first
clause the word "manslaughter." This
was agreed to by closer vote, the
division not being on strictly party
lines. These amendments were dis
cussed at some length before they were
adopted and, following their adop-
ton, there was some discussion
OF the treaty as amended. AS the
hour was growing late, an attempt was
made to bring the question Of agreeing
to the treaty to vote. The customary
resolution, declaring that two
thirds of the senators present favored
the agreement to the amended treaty,
was offered from the committee on for
eigD relations. Under the rules of the
senate it had to 60 to the calendar I'M
less unanimous consent was given for
its immediate consideration. Objection
was raised, and therefore it went over
under the rule until the next executive
session. When it is next taken up the
treaty will likely be agreed to, but it is
not at all probable that England will be
willing to accept it in its present form.
As amended it applies only to those
guilty of rape, robbery or embezzle-
ment. 1t would be good thing for the
United States to haveit agreed to in its
present form, but it is thought it will
hardly prove acceptable to England.
