A Monster Manatee.

John Richards, of Charlotte Harbor,
Aie, tells of a huge manatee that was
found up the Miakka River in 1854.
The fish, or animal. had gone up into
creek which emptied into the river
to feed on the luxuriant moss that COW
cred its banks, but the tide falling rap
idly left the manatee stranded on the
bar, where he perished. Many of the
people of the vicinity visited the spot
to see the curiosity. 1t was estimated
to weigh between 1000 and 1000
pounds. We can form some idea of
its size when we know that it measur-
ed six feet across the breast. John
Richards, who discovered it, afterward
saved the skeleton. He also says that
about one year age he saw another
manatee at the end of Knights wharf,
and is under the impression that they
arc at present frequently in the bay,
but being unusually timid animals,

LEGISLATION MAD.
Senators Indulge in a Little
PteaSantry

Senator Keller will take the chair"
When Senator Keller heard this re-
quest of Chairman Pope he dropped
into his seat and perspired freely. A
motion was moved, and the committee
decided that Senator Keller should take
the chair. Senator Keller rose and
walked deliberately into the cloakrooln
Senators rolled in their seats with
laughter. Keller Immediately issued
from the room and took the chair. Pan
demonium then reigned. Senators wed
with each other to entrap the chairman,
but IN each case he ruled them out of
order. Senator Bowen attempted to
speak, standing near the door.
Senator Bowen will please take his
seat" was Chairman keller'S order, and
the senate roared itself hoarSe.

as to give this bill its third reading and

Senator Brown.

selves will adjourn the senate" blurted
Chairman Keller, and once more sena-
tors were conyulsed with laughter.

AN EVENING SESSION.
An Entirely New Constitution De-
mauded.

A Saturday evening session is not
looked upon with friendly eyes by the
members of the senate, and that held
yesterday was sparsely attended. There
was merely quorum present-twenty-
four senators: and there was not the
slightest exhibition of life manifested
by those in attendance. The entire ses-
sion was spent with the senate in the
committee of the whole, Senator Pope
in the chair. Progress was reported
On Senator Scheffer's bill, relating to
calling convention to revise the con-
stitution.
What is that bill?' asked Senator
Durant.
'tIt 49, replied Senator Scheffer. ga

Petitions have been pouring into the
senate favoring two bills before the
legislature-Senate File No. 1872 and
House File No. 52S. The bills are one
in purpose, and introduced at the in
stance. of the railroad employees asso-
citation. 1t is urged by the petitioners
that the intention of either bill is 'sto
secure such regulations of fares and
freight for railroad companies as will
permit them to earn enough to keep
their plants in safe condition for bust
ness, pay fair wages TO their employees
ana make some return upon their prop
erty.
Members of the Mankato board of
trade have had meeting to consider
the proposed law, which was attended
by Senator Pope. aud lucidly explained
the bill. He argued that if passed tie
law would tie the hands of the railroad
commissioners and prevent them from
making any adjustment of inequalities,
II the result was to reduce the revenue.
That is, railroads could carry wheat or
hour from st. Paul to Chicago at Z cents
per hundred, and charge 10 cents per
hundred from Mankato to St. Paul, and
yet any attempt to equa ize these rates
by lowering the tariff from
MahkdLo TO ST. Paul would tend
TO diminish the revenue and
come within the prohibitory clause of
the law. There was not intention on
his part, nor of the senate or the rail-
road commission to do anything to pre-
vent railroads from earning a fair and
reasonable return upon their invest
ments. The whole purpose of state
legislation was to secure equality of
rates. Such measures as to reduce pas
senger tariffs to 2 cents per mile would
receive no favor, nor would the attempt
be more successful to lower rates on
portions OF route, and compel excess
i've charge where settlements were
sparse and travel light.
A number of members present, who
had signed petitions favoring such a
law: expressed they had done so under
a misrepresentation of the provisions of
the bill, and vote was passed request
ing members OF the legislature from
that district to oppose the measure.

Eric SeYatson.
The third bill on the house calendar
yesterday morning was the SevatSon
bill to reduce the rate OF interest from
10 per cent to per cent, and to prevent
usury. The bill was fought with as
much yigor as two years ago, when
Speaker Merriam came down from his
throne to manufacture few votes for
himself by demagogue's speech. The
chief point of objection in the Sevatson
bill was the uSury clause. which killed
the present system of commissions.
Representative II. F. Stevens had pre-
pared a substitute for the usury clause,
which provided that the commission
should not exceed per cent per an
nun. and that where it did it should
constitute felony punishable by fine
Of not less than $500 nor more than
$1,000, and Imprisonment for not less
than three months nor more than three
years-one-half of the fine to go to the
person securing the conviction.
Representative Lane-Does not the
substitute of the gentleman from Ram
sey leave the rate of interest at what it
is now? If we are in earnest about this
matter why not pass the bill of the gen
tIeman from Jackson. which absolutely
Fixes the rate of interest at per cent
and provides that no more shall be COL
ieeted.
Mr.. Sevatson opposed the substitute
the original bill or none at all was his
demand. and he appealed to the house
for support.
Mr.. Stevens moved that his substitute
be adopted and that the ayes and noes
be cahed.
Representative Sevatson-I ask for a
call of the house.
a call of the house was had.
Representative Estes-I move that
the whole subject be recOmmitted to
the committee of the whole.
Lost by vote OF SO to 10.
Representative Haven sent up an
amendment which was ruled out of
order.
Representative Dunn-These amend
ments are only for the purpose of kill
ing the bill.
Representative Estes-I have been
charged upon the floor of this house
with being unduly converted against
this bill. but cannot support it in form
that proposes TO punish the innocent
and LET the Wrong-doer 90 free.
Representative StevenS-The gentle
man from Mile Laos speaks with de-
termination. but he is unQualifiedly mis-
taken when he says that | am opposed
TO the reduction of interest. This
amendment of Mr.. Ravens provides
that 10 more than per cent per annum
nor more than 2 per cent of the whole
amnODt shall hp charged as commission
The speaker decided that the Haven
amendment might be read if no one OBJ
jected, on which Mr.. Stevens said that
he was done and had no more to say on
the question.
MIR. Fleming with irony)-I am very
glad to know that the gentleman is
done. He certainly has said enough,
and il is about time that he realized it,
