A BENNEPIN BRIDGE.

The senate chamber was the scene of
a lively polygonal fight yesterday aft
ternoou. The Inhabitants of Scott, Da-
kota and Hennepin counties want the
Minnesota river bridged, and the Hen
nepin delegation held meeting to give
them chance to air their views. They
aired their views in great shape, and it
seemed that there were as many opin-
ions as men. The way it looked to an
outsider was that every man owned a
lot facing the river and wanted the
bridge built On his lot. Men said that
other men said what they knew
was not true, and the meeting was
anything but harmonious. A little
amusement filtered through the turbid
and sulphurous atmosphere when Free
Lane wanted to know if Mr.. Hicks was
the rooster Of the alleged paper, in
South Minneapolis This was Hhe
most interesting episode of the after
noon. and the Hennepin delegation
visibly bored held a brief informal
meeting. at which City Attorney Russell
had a number of bills referred to him,
and the members took a solemn cath
that next time the Hennepin delegation
held a session while the house was
sitting they would all attend the meet
ing Of the house.

Thanks to the ignorance Of the mem
bers Of the house as to the nature OF the
bill and To the hurly-burly fashion in
which il was rushed through, the meas
ure adding $1,000 a year 10 the salary
and contingent budget of the bureau of
labor statistics. went through with
a whoop. This was done in the
face Of the objection of MIR.
Morgan, that he did not believe
that the funds in the treasury would
warrant such an appropriation; in the
face OF the protest of Mr.. Benson that
the bill had not been fully considered
by the house, and the assertion OF Mr..
Fathers that the sum was excess
i've. On the very start the buncombe
CRY was raised that the bill was to
ameliOrate every known evil from which
labor now suffers, while at the same
time the references to the apprOpria
lions it contained were very delicate.
The effect was 10 scare up vision Of
IN outraged labor vote if the bill was
defeated, and the members went for it
ike sheep after bell-wether. The bill
creates three new Offices and raises the
annual salary expense account of the
labor bureau 3, 900. The one feature of
the bill commanding appreciation from
the members who voted against it was
that which provides for factory inspec-
ton. The vote upon the passage of the
hill was.

REAPPORTlONMENT.

The reapportienmeHt committees Of
the house and senate are in the throes
Of a mighty struggle. Their BILL as
published in the GLOBE. has been
drafted. but the redistricting lines are
causing any amount of trouble. and nav
eventually defeat the passage of any
bill. Hennepia and Ramsey have
agreed upon their district, but a ire
mendous howl has arisen from the old
FoTty-Sixth. or St. Louis district. The
presence of Hon. d. j. Knox, of Aitkfn.
in the house yesterday may explain
why this howl has arisen. AS reds
tricted. st. Louis, Lake, Cook, Aitkin,
Carlton, Hubbard. Cass, itasea and
Wadena are made one senatorial
district, with division line running
through Duluth, which gives practically
TO that city the two senators and three
of the four representatives, leaving to
the remainder of the district one repre-
sentative. Mr.. Knox, in the language
Of Artemus Ward, regards this as clear
case of American hog" and he so in
formed the committees yesterday. His
desire is that Aitkin. Cass, Hubbard.
Itasea, Wadena and Carlton be made
one district with senator and repre-
sentative. and that Lake, Cook and St.
LoElS be made 4 seperate district, with

DONNELLYISM.
Mr. VoIlmer Introduces a Crush
ing Railroad Rate Bill.

Representative Vollmer has suddenly
developed a fit of DonnellYism, which
took form yesterday in the reduction of
grain freight rate bill. very similar
TO the Utopian measures introduced
two years ago. This bill provides an
iron-clad classification that will make
every railroad manager in the state
wish Mr.. Vollmer in the same pot of
soup III which Mr.. Donnelly now rests.
The provisions OF the bill are:
No rate or charge in excess of the
rates and charges hereby fixed shall be
charged or collected for the transporta-
ton of grain and its products in car

products not exceeding IT'S miles, :
cents per 100; more than rs miles. and
not more than 200, cents per 100; more
than 200 miles, and not more than $50.
Il cents per 100; more than 250 and not
over 800, Is cents per 100; more than 500
and not over $50, Is cents per 100: more
than $50 and not more than 400, 16l%
cents per 100; exceeding 400 miles, for
each 50 miles. or major fraction thereof
of such excess, cent per 100 pounds:
provided, for any overload nc penalty or
CiidISS III SACSoS VI ID I1tT -C01i HUH
tional to the rate fixed shall be charged.
and then only upon the amount over
loaded, or upon the excess. For the
purposes of this act all connecting rail-
roads in this state shall be deemed as
one railroad line, and any shipper may
ship grain or products in Car load lots at
the rate prescribed from any railroad
station in this state on connecting lines.
For the first violation of this act by
railroad or its agents fine of not less
than $1,000 nor more than $1,000 is pro-
vided: second violation, fine of SlO.-
0o0 shall be imposed. Any railroad re-
fusing to comply with the act shall con-
stitute a separate and distinct offense.

franchise may be forfeited and the road
be wound up. If it be foreign com
pany, ii may be restrained from doing
business in the state. County attorneys
are required TO watch the railroads and
report by the 1st of November each
year to the attorney general all viola
lions. Any violations of the provisions
of this act shall constitute a INSIDE
meanor and be indietable.''

vision of the statutes was laid over by
the senate until to-day.
When the bin authorizing the build
ing OF bridge across the Mississippi
river, from La Crosse to La Crescent,
came up, Senator Durant opposed it,
saying that a similar bill had been al
ready passed, and two bridges were not
needed.
Senator Tosten Johnson move that
the bill be referred to Senator Durant.
Senator Durant-I move as an amend
ment that Senator Tosten johnson be
added TO the committee.
Senator ToSten Johnson accept the
amendment.
The bill was so referred.

COMPELLED TO RESIGN.
Henry Bergh Too Small to Fill
His URcle's Place.

New YORK, March 15.-IIen1y Bergh
has been forced to resign the presidency
Of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, which was founded
by his uncle tweDty-three years ago.
His successor in the Office is James M.
Brown, the weIl-known banker. The
change was made al an executive ses-
sion of the board Of managers, thirteen
members being present. Mr.. Bergh's
resignation was accepted unanimously.
Mr. Brown was elected without a dis
senting vote. Trouble was brewing for
several months. The youthful presi-
dent, weak in himself, but strong under
the constitution and bylaws, seldom
did the members Of the board the honor
to consult them about the management
of affairs, and this seeming neglect,
which began by breeding dissatisfaction
and discomfort, ended by giving offense.
This young man is too domineering.'
agreed the board. "He must be taken
down peg or two; his power must be
lessened. We shall change the bylaws
so that they will give Us some control.
We should like to be consulted. We
were willing TO be ruled by the founder
of the society, but as for being run over

Special to the Globe.


Special TO the Globe
COLUMBUS, O., March 13.-The joint
convention Of miners and mine operat-
ors resumed proceedings here this
morning, with Alexander Dempster. of
Philadelphia, presiding. The greatest
obstacle that confronted the convention
was the the condition of affairs in lndi-
ana. Here the operators firmly demand
a reduction over last years prices of 20
cents on the ton. This the miners were
indispoSed to listen to, and assumed
firm opposition to any such proposition.
The joint scale committee reported that
it was unable to come to any agreement
upon prices at its meeting held short
time previous, although the following
scale bases were proposed Ior the mine
operators and rejected by the miners:
Operators of Ohio, so cents per ton:
Pennsylvania. 90 cents; Indiana, for
bituminons coal. 50 cents per ton, and
for block coal, Go cents per ton. The
miners maintain for last years prices.
which are as follows; In Ohio, IS and
20 cents per ton; in Pennsylvania, "A
and 79 cents per ton; in Indiana, for
bituminous- 65 cents, and block coal, so
cents per ton. The report of the com
lnlttee was laid upon the table for the
time being. Ia a communication. the
Indiana people stated that they desired
to withdraw from the convention. and
would not be bound by any action taken
by it. This action was in view. of the
lmPesSlblllty to come ID any satisfactory
terms. The operators of Indiana seem
to be in positive position, while the
miners of that state are no less reSo-
lutte in their determination to hold up
the prices to last years standard.
