At the meeting of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals yester-
day afternoon, it was decided to issue
new membership cards dated JAM. 1,
and committee was appointed to
solicit subscriptions. The report of the
committee on legislation was adopted,
which recommends statutory amend
ments changing the name to
the Minnesota Humane society,
and giving power to organize
branches throughout the state, or APP
point agents to act upon the permission
of the probate judge of the county. The
penal code is amended so that cruelty
or neglect of animals or children is
punishable by 500 fine or imprisOn-
ment for three months in Jail. At pres
ent such offenses are misdemeanors,
punishable by fine of $500 or one year
in the penitentiary, which takes the
prosecution of the cases out of the juriS-
diction of municipal courts. 1t has
been necessary, therefore, to bring COM
plants before grand iuries and secure
indictments before prosecutions can be
made. AS a result there has been
great deal of delay, that has in a man.
ner prevented the society from accom-
nliShing much.

SETTING UP THE PINS.
The Republicans Formulating More
Legislation for Poor Minneapolis.
THE LIQUOR LICENSES
Not to Be Transferred---The Health
Department State Institu-
ti0n.

Aldermen Downs, Bradish, Durham
and Blichfeldt. composing the special
council committee on legislation, met
yesterday morning to hear from the
various city officers and others the
special points on which they consider
legislation desirable. License In
spector Ray presented the matter
of giving the municipal court
jurisdiction in liquor cases, as
the delay consequent upon taking
them before the grand jury does much
toward thwarting the ends of justice.
He also wished something done to settle
the disputed point as to whether liquor
licenses are transferable or not. Aid.
Downs and Bradish favored bill pre-
venting the transfer of licenses, while
Blichfeldt and Durham thought it right
that such transfers should be made.
The employment offices also got cold
roast from Inspector Ray, and the COM
mittee will probably submit bill pro-
hibiting the collection of fees from the
would-be employee, and compelling the
agents to deal squarely with their pat
rons. A bill will be prepared providing
for the election of an assessor for two
instead of three years, and making his
tCIlu Vi OlllCC CApllC Will GAoo Va UuO
council that elects him.
The matter of the per cent bonds,
which Blake Bros, of Boston, refused to
accept after bidding them in, because
the charter doesn't allow them to be
sold at less than par, was also discussed.
City Attorney Russell said he had
drawn bill which would legalize the
sale of the bonds already issued and an
other providing for the sale of bonds in
future at what they would bring in the
market. Aid. Downs opposed that, as
it might open the way for unforeseen
''mOnkey wOrk' in the future, and he
didn't think it advisable to legalize this
sale of bonds at less than the equivalent
of ~ per cents at par.
There was some discussion of the re-
organization of the health and water de-
partments, but nothing will be done in
the premises and no bills drafted until
the proper committees have met In joint
session and advised together on the
points in question.
The city attorney startled the COM
mittee by the announcement that the
health officer is state officer appointed
under the statute, and entitled to spend
all the money he sees fit, and account
able to no body for SO doing. This was
a sumner, but when the committee
called to mind the fact that. although
enjoying this unlimited power, DIR.
Kilvington had never asserted it. and
had even economical by dropping off
as soon as possible the barnacles fast
ened upon him by the old council, their
alarm grew less.
A bill regulating the conduct of the
street commissioners and one making
the health department portion of the
city government will also be drawn.

put.
The Northwestern Miller in its issue
of to-day Will say The movement of
wheat in the Northwest is small, either
from farmers hands or arrivals at ter
minal stations. There are still some
100000 bushels in country elevators
an d an unknown quantity in farmers
hands. Taking the government esti-
mate as a basis, and deducting what
has already been marketed, 1t would
show about &c, 900, 600 bushels yet owned
by farmers. Ten million of that will be
wanted for seed, and say 100000 more
for bread, which would leave some
100000 bushels yet in the hands
of farmers to market in Mime
sofa and Dakota. Stocks of
wheat in the Northwest are some 17.OOO,-
600 bushels smaller than year ago, not
reckoning that in farmers hands in
either'year, and last year good milling
wheat became scarce before the new
harvest. Besides. it is undeniable that
farm stocks are unusually small. The
Minneapolis flour output received an
other boost last week, being about TO-
600 barrels heavier than the week be-
fore. There were fifteen mills which
made -four, but the greater number of
them got out an amount much under
their ordinary capacity. The aggregate
production for the week lending Jan. 12)
was $751; $50 barrels-averaging 1863 bar
refs daily-against 1850 barrels the pre-
yious week, and los, 400 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1888. Nine mills
were in motion to-day, representing H.

POLITICAL INFLUENCE

Actions of the New Aldermen.
The able and energetic Republican
aldermen are still amusing themselves
by running onto innumerable legal
snags in their committee work. The
committee on the examination of build
ing inspector gathered itself together
yesterday to have fun with the Candle
dates for that important office, and
found to their chagrin after the meeIe
ing had been called to order and every
thing was ready for business that the
examination would not be held until IL
had been advertised three times IN the

noon for the purpose of ballOtlng 1or
bridge watchmen at the various bridges.
There was some amusing discussion on
the point before the vote to go into
star chamber session was taken. ana
one of the most pleasingly childish
things was Aid. Durnham'S remark IN
urging the candidacy of Louis Freder-
ickson, when he said: 'Why, l am in
debted to that man for 400 Republican
votes in my ward" Another learned
city father replied that he realized that
this position-which paved $40 a month
was political appointment. but
thought certain aged and infirm favor
lite of his should get the place.
The committee finally succeeded IN
making the following recommendations
for Watchmen: Twentieth avenue,

MOUTH avenue north, George Loye; sus-
pension and steel arch bridges. Patrick
Erwin; Tenth avenue south; P. Carney;

AND NO WONDER.
A Man Cannot Be Examined for
an Office That Does Not Exist.


Many, people manifested surprise
when the committee appointed to eX-
aminine the candidates for meat in
spector adjourned without taking any
other action than to throw the
whole matter back upon the council,
but it now transpjres that it
did so with good reason as in looking
over the ordinance under which it was
presumably to act it was found that
there is really no such Office as that of
meat inspector. There is such an Office
as that of inspector of meats and pro-
visions, however, and his duties
are to inspect meats, fish. oys-
tiers, birds. game. vegetables, fruit,
milk and other provisions brought
into or prepared in the city. and in
tended for human food. 1t is good
illustration of the ignorance and awk-
wardness of the" new crop of city
fathers that they first elected their
inspector and then appointed a COM
mittee to examine him and candidates
for assistant inspector as well.

Oh in the district court before Judge

tired of it. The summing up was be-

not be concluded until tomorrow or the
