BISMARCK, N. D., March 1s.-The
last day of the session of North Da-
kota's first legislative assembly has
been fitting climax to the session.
The senate to-day considered in open
session the appointments sent in by
Gov. Miller yesterday. There was no
secrecy, and after all OratOrical bonn
bardment Of the governors position,
and scathing rebuke for his failure to
consult the senate on appointments, the
entire list of appointments was
rejected. Senator Worst said
that the governor had taken
119 days to decide upon men to hold the
positions of trust throughout the state.
and now expected the senate to do the
same work in day. Senators Swans
ton, Diesem and others also spoke and
said that although they were not ac-
quainted with the appointees, and were
given no time to make inquiry, they dis
covered in the list the name of one man
who had been indicted for bribery
at the polls, and from what
they knew they did not feel that they
could do Justice to themselves or the
state by indorsing the action of the
governor. As this unanimous rebuke
is made by a Republican senate to a
Republican governor, it is not difficult to
realize the bitterness of the political
fight which must follow from now until
the assembling of the next state
convention, which must come
within a few mouths. Again when
the question was upon the acceptance
of the resignation of the seed wheat
commission Senator Swanson scored
the governor and members of the legiS-
lature, who had rejected the PROPOSE
ton to furnish 250,000 bushels OF wheat
to the farmers because they could not
approve of it on moral grounds, and
spoke of those who were the lOudest
moraliStS as men whose personal char

and again made reference to one who
had been indicted for bribery at the
polls. 1t is expected that the governor
will reappOint the men whose names
have been rejected by the senate. and
that the war now started will continue
until the closing of the polls next fall:
A number of bills were passed
in both houses. At 5 o'clock
this evening it was discovered
that the railroad gross earnings bill was
not to be found in the house, and Chair
man Stevens Immediately started for
his room to find it. Up to the time of
recess Stevens had not returned with
the bill. and it is said he cannot find it.
This bill provides system of railroad
taxation on gross earnings. Stevens did
not appears with the gross earnings bill
this evening, and certified copy was
passed instead. The bill establishing
school for deaf muteS at Devils Lake
was passed in the house tonight over
the governors veto, and there is great
rejoicing among the Ramsey county
members, with the exception Of Meteor
mick, who has made the remarkable
record of opposing the bill tor which
his entire county clamOred. Lieut..
Creel is among the jollitiers. He was
given the privilege of the floor for the
purpose of speaking on the bill. Both
houses adjourned sine die at II O'Clock.
The grain inspection bill. which is
copy of the Minnesota law, passed both
houses. The Milsted railroad bill. pro-
viding for the assessment and taxation
of railroad property the same as all
other property, passed. and it now re-
mains whether this or the gross earn
ings law, or both. shall be law.
