Attorney General Clapp Holds
That the Legislature
Can Draw Pay.
Mayor Smith to Go on to the
Court House Commits
sion.
Dunn and Eastman Save the
Day Libel Bill From
Death.
Senator'S Look at Their Work
and Then Adjourn in
Haste.

AS the GLOBE stated yesterday,
Attorney General Clapp has held that
the legislature may draw pay until
April %, but he leaves the question I'M
touched as to whether or not the legis-
lative session expired Sunday night or
not. In his letter to Treasurer Bobleter
Mr.. Clapp says:
April 9, 1SS9.-You ask for an opinion
us to whether, under the law, the sew
eral senators and representatives. men,
berS of the present Legislature, will be
entitled to per diem on and after April
S. The per diem of the members of
the legislature is fixed by sections Is
and 16, chapter 8, General Statutes
1873. Section Is limits the number of
days for which members shall receive
pay to sixty days. Section 16 fixes the
SO per day for the president of the sen
ate and speaker of the house of repre-
Sentatives, and at S. per day for the
senators and representatives"
He then notes that section Is is
amended by the Flynn law of this year,
which was approved Jan. 25, 1889. This
regulates the computation of the COM
pensation of the members.
without giving at length my rea-
sons, therefore, it is sufficient to say
that in my opinion the legislature
had authority to pass this amendment
i'll question, and that its application to
the present session is not in conflict
with said constitutional provision, and
that the effect of such amendment is to
entitle the members of the present leg
lslature to a per diem for each and
every day of the session.
The noint c n tbn do ta of aynira finp
of the session becomes involved in OBJ
security the more it is looked into 1t is
doubtful if the house attempts to

UNIVERSITY FUNDS.
Drastic Measure Recommended
by Senators.

by Senators.
Senator Hixson was in jubilant
mood yesterday. Some weeks ago he
introduced bill separating the agri-
cultural college from the state uni
versity, and the measure had been
made a special order for yesterday.
Mr.. HiXson moved its adoption. He
argued that two-thirds of the university
funds came from the sale of lands
originally granted for the founding of
an agricultural college. This money
was not being appropriated to the use
it was intended, and this bill proposed
to separate the agricultural college
from the university, create new board
of managers who would see that the
money was expended solely for an in
stitution to educate the sons of agricult-
wrists.
The debate which followed on the
bill was not of high order.
Senator Clough made the most vigor-
Gus opposition to the bill, and at the
same time delivered the first speech he
has delivered this session. He said the
farmers were perfectly satisfied with
the agricultural college attached to the
university, and Insinuated that the
senator from Grant had tried to create
a belief of there being something wrong
in the management of the university
funds. The university was managed
by men well capable of running such
an Institution. There was no necessity
for the passage of this bill; the people
were satisfied with the present agricul-
tural college, and he moved the indefi-
bite poStponement of the measure.
Senator Durant doubted whether the
agricultural college was receiving the
full benefits of the endowments made
by the United States government.
Senator Pope remarked that in. sep
araIing the agricultural college from
the university great improvement
would be gained. Better facility for
agricultural training would be afforded
the sons of farmers.
Senator HlXson-Two young men
have graduated from the college in fif-
teen years. The thing is grown up
with weeds. have not much hope in
getting this bill passed, but [ advocate
it because it Fright.
Senator Eaton-It is a very bad step
for us to begin now and tear up the
chief educational institutions of the
state.
Senator HiXson-Do you call that
agricultural college chief educational
institution?
Senator Eaton--I call the university
and the agricultural college the chief
institutions of the state. 1t is wrong to
destroy such institutions of learning,
which have already cost the state many
thousand dollars, and you will be sorry
afterwards if this bill Is passed.
Senator Brown-Ninety-nine out of
hundred farmers would vote for sep
aration of this agricultural college from
the university.
Senator Eaton-The agricultural col
lege is well organized to-day. No one
will dispute that.
Senator Hixson-1 dispute that.
Senator Eaton-That is because you
do not know anything about it.
Senator Hoard protested against the
separation of the college from the uni
versity. 1t would injure both institu-
tions, and leave the university i'll very
embarrassing condition.
For the indefinite postponement of the
bill-yeaS Is, nays 20. For the recon-
mendation of the passage of the bill:

DIRECT FROM DULUTH.

Boat Club Officers Elected-The
Water Company's Wail-Min-
eral Discovery.
Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, April 9.-The Duluth
Boat club tonight elected the following
officers: President, A. 81. Viele; senior
vice president, Frank Burke Jr.; junior
vice president, T.. n. Wood: secretary,
Ii. S. Mahon; treasurer, D. A. Burke !;
captain, W. B. SilveF; lieutenant, B. F.

imously to send big crew to Mime
tonka this year.
A number of East end property hold
erS met in Judge Stearns' Office to-day
and appointed committee to urge the
council to at once make East Superior
street a 100-foot thoroughfare. They
also passed a resolution asking the park
commissioners to secure the tract of
land between the Iron Range road and
the lake, extending from Chester creek
east, for public park.
President r. l.. Belknap, of the gas
and water company, has arrived from
New York and to-day talked with the
COuiiHOl COuLCil. liz WAS accom- DdIlGQ
by Vice President Cary and Secretary
Squires, of st. Paul. He showed that
it was due to the action of the
council in securing temporary injunc-
tiOn to restrain the company from fur
nishing water to Superior that the COM
pany was unable to float its bonds, with
the proceeds from which it was the
intention to build a 100000 gas
works and a new high service
reservoir. He stated that the
company by this act of the council had
lost $4,000 on the sale of its bonds since
the Injunction was granted. The COM
pany has a pumping capacity of 5.000,-
600 gallons per day, while the city only
uses 100000. He, therefore, asked the
council to allow the company to COM
plete its contract with Superior, in Or
der that its revenue might be increased
and its bonds be easily sold and the new
improvements effected. The council
will probably grant this request.
Charles W. Cushman, of Oneota, is
the latest candidate for the collector
ship. He was the first secretary of the
Duluth chamber of commerce.
James III. James and w. G. McCOmber
have discovered and gotten possession
of a new mine of hematite ore in 1868
II, east of Ely. They claim that it will
rival the famous Chandler and Pioneer
mines, the ore resembling that of both
those properties.

ALDERMANIC ALBUM.

Joe Ingenhutt. of the First ward, is a
typical German city father. He is a
little bit on the order of "wide epen''
legislators, but would favor nothing
dangerous to the peace and prosperity
of the metropolis. One of his hobbies
is good wages for good work, and he be-
lieyes in making known his beliefs.
Joe is one of the charmed three who
compose the Democratic governor on
the present Republican council engine,
and finds in that fact cause for a good
amount of justifiable pride. He still
has very painful times with the English
language, and people hearing him for
the first time are apt to notice and COM
ment on his pronunciation and rhetoric
more than the sound sense of his argu-
ments. The council always goes off in
roar when Joe begins speech, but
they listen to what he says, just the
same.

PLAYERS NOW ARRIVING.
Three More Minneapolis Athletes Ready
for Uniforms.
BASE BALL ON MANY FIELDS
Van Heest Whips Hanley in Eight
R0unds-..The Chicago Dog
Show.

Three more of the Minneapolis base
ball team arrived in Minneapolis yes
terday and will begin practicing with
the others to-day. They are Tom
Turner, the centerfield. Mike Morrison,
pitcher, and Jantzen, a catcher.
Turner, is big fellow, and is said to
be one of the best batters i'll the team.
Capt. Hengle thinks that Morrison will
make one of the strongest pitchers in
the club, and expects great work of
him. Jantzen has good record, and
last year took about dozen medals by
leading in the Chicago Garden City
league.
A letter has been received by a
pitcher named Stone, of Cedar Rapids,
who has the highest kind of recon-
mendations, and he will probably be
given trial. He is recommended by
Jack Bennett, who nearly everybody in
Minneapolis knows, and Pitcher Hutch
inson. In his practice game with the
team he has shown himself to be good
man, and it is possible that he may be
retained for the season. Manager Nor
ton and Henry Hook will return from
Chicago this morning.

A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Little Girl Fed Through Tub,

A Little GIri F'e0 through a TUBE
Inserted in the Abdomen.
A remarkable case has been brought
before the medical profession of Louis
vile, KY. The patient kate Kendall,
eight years of age) has not swallowed a
mouthful of food for over eight months,
yet she is alive and doing well. Early
last August the child swallowed large
dose of concentrated lye, and in a few
days she was unable to retain anything
in her stomach, her throat grew smaller
and she found it very hard work to
breathe. Her physicians gave her
the customary antidotes for lye,
but they failed of effect. and
the child grew worse. She was
now unable to swallow even water or
milk, and the indications were that she
would starve to death through an ina
bility to force sufficient nOurishment
into her stomach. The entrance to that
organ was completely closed, and when
IN November the physicians in the case
endeavored to open the passage, they
were unable to force even their most
delcately pointed instruments through.
For weeks every breath the child drew
was expected to be her last, and she
grew so thin that she was literally
nothing but skin and bones.
At last it was decided to attempt, as
a dernier resort, one of the most deli
cate operations known, and possibly
the only one which could even prolong,
if not save, the chiId's life.
ChlorOforming the child, the phySi-
clans made all incision through the alb
dominal wall. to the left of and above
the navel, until the flap could be thrown
back, leaving the stomach proper to
view. They then drew that organ as
far to the exterior of its cavity as posi-
BILE, and small incision by the means
of silken cords was made, after which
the stomach was returned to it's resting
place. When it had about healed from
the incision made through it, small bit
of rubber tubing twenty-four inches in
length and one-eighth of an inch In
diameter was inserted. and all of the
incision, save just enough to admit of
the passage of the tubing, closed by
delicate stitches. The child was then
allowed to recover from the effect of the
anesthetic. and in few hours some
tepid milk was forced through
the tubing into the stomach. Al
most Immediately the physicians
observed change for the better, and
the child was permitted to take all the
rich milk she desired. She would take
mouthful, and, placing the tube in
her mouth. would force the milk into
her stomach. Bread and meat were cut
upp, for her, soaked in milk, placed in a
piece of cheese-cioth, and she would
suck this until she had a mouthful,
when it would be forced into her stom-
ach as was the milk.
In this way, since the operation, she
has nourished herself so that she has
not only increased in weight from
twenty-one pounds to forty-three,
but she goes to the Madison street
school daily, and to all appearances is
as healthy as the average child. Her
gullet is still closed, but the little one
wears her rubber tube constantly, one
end around her neck and the other
through the hole in her abdomen into
the stomach, and for one in her condi
ton is happy.

Who Buy Musical instruments

New York Star.
Ore of the curious things about those
who buy musical instruments was told
me lately by dealer in those articles.
The people of wealth and family are
not the purchasers of fiddles, guitars,
horns, zitherns, harps or other similar
Instruments; they pay to hear the
music, and, outside of the professionals,
the principal buyers are people of
moderate means, or even the poor.
Nearly every family in our big tene-
ment districts has some sort of a musi-
cal instrument in its home. You
can almost tell the nationality of the
family by the species of instrument
played in their rooms. A German will
have Zithern or a band piece; the
Irish boy will have fiddle or a fife :;
the negro will have harmonica or a
banjo, and the average American will
play an accordion. Of course, the
piano trade is somewhat different, yet
it is equally true that they are pur-
chiefly by people of moderate means,
and during these late years, more fire.
quently than otherwise, on the INSTALL
ment plan. Most of those who bny
pianos are Americans, and the sales are
increasing every year. Indeed, the
piano is driving nearly every other
instrument out of the American home.

SMITH AHEAD.
Democrats Are to Control the
Court House Commission.

Court House Commission.
The bill passed the house Which
makes Mayor Smith member of the
Ramsey county court house and city
hall commission. The commission has
heretofore consisted of six members
three Democrats and three Republicans.
1t will now stand three Republicans
and four Democrats, and it is under
stood that the result will be the selec-
ton of Pat Egan as custodian of the
court house. That a bill of such a
nature should pass the Republican del
egation of the house created comment.
E. E. Macdonald, of the Republican
club of the city. rushed up to Senator
Smith yesterday morning and said that
he desired the bill to be recommitted.
You let me alone" said Mr. Smith
sharply, and intimated to the young
politician that he knew his own bust
ness. and proposed to attend to it. The
bill came up in the house, and II. f.
Stevens rose and said in loud tone of
voice that it was against the wish of his
constituents that the bill should pass.
Mr.. Lane-DOes a majority of the
delegation favor it?
Mr.. Ives-A majority does.
The bill passed, with the two Stevens
and Mr.. Elmquist voting against it.
