BISMARCK, OAK, Feb. l8.-Gen.
Hughes introduced i'll the council to-
day a joint resolution providing for
recess from Feb. % TO March 8. Under
suspension Of the rules ir went to sec.
ond reading, and was referred. Motion
to place it upon its third reading and
final passage was lost. A strong in
tluence will push this measure and its
passage is not improbable, though
when considered in the Republican cau-
Gus after adjournment the vote upon its
approval was a tie. Much depends
upon the work done by the caucns-ap
pointed sitting committee the duty of
which is to select what meas
ureS shall pass, and condemn
all Others If satisfactory progress
is made in this direction the resolution
will pass, otherwise its fate is doubtful.
After sharp fight the bill locating the
agricultural college at Valley City was
passed, and one locating similar inSti-
tute at Fargo was Indefinitely post
poned. The bill establishing a normal
school at Ashton was passed. The bill
providing for the conversion OF unex--
pended appropriations into the general
funds of Various institutions WENT SAIL
Ing through over the executives veto.

nitely postponed. The governor APP
proved several .unimportant measures.
The committee on elections introduced
bill making all terms of gubernatOrial
appOinteeS expire within ten days after
the governor appointing them goes out

ors qualities. Campbell wants an in
dustriai school at Aberdeen. Woman

report from the house judiciary COM
mittee, in its present mild form apply
ing to taxpayers only, accompanied,
however, with a minority report claim
ing it to be unconstitutional. A mes
sage was received from the governor
ing OF bonds to build county buildings.
The newspaper bill has jumped over the
third veto. and is now law. The bill
allowing the attorney general to appoint
an assistant was passed, and 1t is
thought will not be vetoed. Morris in
troduced an entirely new bill regulating
common carriers by the election of rail-
road commissioners. The measure
authorizing the governor to appoint
women as notaries public was re-
ferred to the attorney general for
his opinion upon its cOnstitutiOnality.
The tie vote in the Republican caucus
this afternoon on the recess proposition
is perhaps the reason why the three
Democratic members of the council
spent an hour together this evening. 1t
IS authoritativeiy stated that Gov.
Church is in favor of the legislature
adjourning as soon as possible, and as
he and these three Democrats are In
perfect harmony, it is thought that they
have decided to support the measures.
This being true, its passage in the couli-
Gil is assured. The governor is re-
ported as saying that if the session is
not interrupted in some way, the Re-
publican farmer legislators will bank
rupt the territory. 1t is learned that
the committee appointed to investigate
the affairs of the jamestown asylum
has completed it's report, which will ex-
onerate Supt. Archibald ami roast the
trustees for extravaganza. The report
Will probably he made tomorrow.
