TIE house had another round on tenn
peralce shortly after assembling in the
morning. The subject of dispute was a
motion by Mr.. Morgan to reconsider the
voh by which Mr.. Temples bill increas-
inp liquor licenses in the state was in
definitely postponed. The bill increases
the licenses in cities from 81 900 to 81
200, and in the country from $500 to
500. The motion was finally carried.

fiient that the bill will pass and have
petty good reasons to substantiate their
Calm.

Sbne and Traverse. The bill was in

SENATE.
Senator Marcus johnson introduced a
bill that provides for the repeal of chap
tes 246 of the special laws approved
March 9, 1878, entitled an act to transfer
tn, lands granted to the Duluth and
Irn Range for other purposes. The pre-
ample declares that the Duluth and
Winnipeg road has not complied with
the act of March 8, 1878, authorizing the
transfer, and further that the act of
March 10, 1885, transferring the lands
gr,nted the Duluth and Winnipeg to
thu Brainerd and Northwestern line, is
in direct conflict with the constitution.

ems of the Duluth and Winnipeg.
