BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 25.-ln the
senate to-day Swanston introduced bills
embodying the Iowa railroad laws, de-
fining the powers of the railroad conf
Llissioners. and establishing a schedule
of maximum rates. The bill reducing
the salaries of the state officers was up
for consideration i'm the senate. The bill
reduces the governors salary from
$1,000 to $4,000; the railroad, commits
slOnerS from $4,000 to $1,000, and all
other state offices in like proportion.
To-day au amendment giving the rail-
road commissioners $1,000 instead of
$1,000 was defeated by decis-
i've vote, and the test votes all
showed that the legislature will insist
on the reduction. Senator Winship rose
to question OF privilege, and quoted
the headlines of the Fargo Argus. in
which these words are used: 'Whited
Sepulchre Winship. who plays poker all
day Sunday. and works the reform
racket all week days" WinShip said:
''This is the second time that the editor
of this paper has attempted to blacken
my character. and denounce the man
VINO wrote this as willful and mali
clDuS liaI." This created a sensation,
which was increased when Senator
SwanstOn followed with statement
that he, too, had been blackened by
newspaper articles, and that a number
of the senators had cause for ae-
ton against malicious newspaper ).
The house killed the blu providing pun
ishment for misunderstanding. Ii passed
tile bill providing for the erection of
dams for irrigation purposes. and the
one licensing express companies.

Mr.. Rogers. of Arkansas, objected. The

the director of the mint to make changes
in the designs on current coins Of the
United States. Mr.. Bartine said that
the only alteration which he knew of

New Rule for DiscipIining Recall
Citrant French IDENTITIES.


PARIS, Feb. 25.-The chamber of dep
uties to-day made new rule for the
government of its proceedings, with
particular reference to recaIcitrant dep
uties who, being called to order, direct
ed to take their seats or otherwise re-
ferred to, insolently defy the command
of the speaker. SO that the authority of
the house SIS represented by the speaker
is seldom respected unless actual force
IS appealed to, as was recently the case
when a military guard had to be called
in to remove members from the floor of
the house. There is no parliamentary
body in the world where this defiance Of
the authority of the speaker goes so far
as in the French chamber, and the
reluctance of the successive presidents
OF the chamber to appeal to force has so
cultivated the evil until many members
regard the words of the speaker in re-
gard to the maintenance of order as
mere idle fOrmality. This trouble
reached its climax in the recent revolt
OF the BOulangiSts. who practically
made riot in the house. 1t became
evident then that their view of the re-
iatlOn of members to the chamber, if in
dulged in by others, would make parlia-
mentary proceedings impossible. Hence
the new rule in the house has been
made. This affixes penalty to every
refusal on the part of member to obey
the order of the president. The penalty
is that the member shall be suspended
from his functions aud excluded from
the chamber of deputies during thirty
six sessions of the chamber. This new
rule was voted by 277 to 236. M. Paul
Deroulde protested that to make such
rule was childish and odious abuse Of
the power of the majority.

A Silver Bill Embodying Win
dom's Ideas Presented to
the House.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 25.-The
Chicago people are not resting upon
their victory in the house yesterday, but
are making every effort to expedite leg
lslative action upon the worlds fair bill.
The fair bills have been recommitted to
the select committee in order to secure
the speedy insertion in the proper bill
of the name of the site. and for the per-
fectiOn of details which were necessa-
rily left open until the successful city
was known. The Chicago representa-
tives desire some changes in the general
bill reported, and say that it was the
understanding all along when the site
had been named, its Representatives
should be allowed to shape the mea-
sure, within reasonable limits, to suit
their necessities. There was for time
an expectation that either by increasing
the membership of the special commit
tee or by the replacement of six of its
present members, its control should be
absolutely vested in the Representatives
OF the winning city: but the ChicagOans
have abandoned this idea, confident
that they can rely upon the loyal sup
port of the committee as at present con-
stituted. As already stated,
CHANGES IN THE BILL
are desired, but just what changes the
Chicago men have not themselves
counted upon. Many of them object to
what is known as the Carlisle amend
ment, which provides for United States
charter, and was inserted as concession
to the constitutional objections of some
Southern members. The provision of
the Adams bill for incorporation of the
board under the Illinois laws, is pre-
ferred by some of the Chicago people for
the reason thatit would make the in
cOrporators amenable to the provisions
of the state law. This point is not.
however. regarded as material. An
other amendment that is desired is one
authorizing the mayor of Chicago to ap-
point one-half and the governor of Illi-
nOis the other half of 100 iucorporators.
An appropriation of money is also de-
sired to meet the expenses Of the gov
ernment exhibit. and erect buildings
for its display. The special committee
is to meet tomorrow, and Will probably
hear leading Chicago men as to the
further procedure. Undoubtedly the
committee will be requested to go itself
or send subcommittee to Chicago to
look over the site for the fair. LII this
request cannot be granted, then an
etforrwill be made to bring before the
committee here number of ChicagO'S
prominent citizens. and particularly
those who have interested themselves
actively in Chicago's efforts to secure the
fair. There is no expressed fear of any
further opposition in the house or sem
ate to the perfection of the Chicago bill.
Mr.. Springer says that the New York
representatives have assured him that
they accept the situation in good faith
and will use their influence in the SEN
ate to help along the Chicago bill, and
do all in their power to make the fair a
success.

rim Case.
Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND. Wis. Feb. 25.-Sensational
developments have long been promised
in the Perrin case, and they came to-
day. The forenoon was taken up by
the examination of witnesses, who cor
robOrated the testimony of Witness
Butts. Late this afternoon one Ed
GOUdland was put on the stand. He
testified that he had known Perrin FIVE
or six years. He met him at Eagle
River, Wis, and had not seen him since
until he met him at Hurley in the fall
of 1883, when he (GOOdland) went TO
lrOnwoOd, Mich. to reside. He had
seen him in lronwood about two weeks,
when Perrin asked him if he wanted to
make some money. He replied that he
did, and inquired how it could he done.
Witness testified that Perrin told him
that the Iron Exchange hank at Hurley
frequently received S40.0 900 or $4,000 for
the mines, and that they could get if he
(Goodland) would consent. Witness
refused, but asked how it could be done.
GOodland testified that Perrin tolG him
that he would leave the combination
open on the vault, and GOodland could
20 and carry off the Doodle. He per
bank open so Goodland could get into
the bank. Perrin, the witness said,
made this proposition two or three
times. Witness then went to Gagen,re-
manning there for some time, finally
going back to Hurley for short time.
Then he went to Stevens Point, and
was there six months as bartender.
After he left the point he went to Hur-
ley, this being after the robuery. He
said he met Perrin the day of his arrival
in Hurley and told him he was broke.
Perrin gave him 81, and the next day
gave him $50 more. Witness came to
Ashland and had spree, returned
broke and got $40 more. Perrin finally
started witness in the gambling busi-
ness. GOOdland then went to Waters
meet to work tending bar. He wrote
Perrin. stating that he was broke. but
Perrin refused to give him any more
money. He had not seen Perrin since
tilllately, and got no more money from
him. On crOss-eXaminatiOn the witness
testified that while at Stevens Point he
had been in house of ill-fame as night
watchman. He had been arrested for
being drunk and disorderly, and de-
manded the money received from Per-
rim. Witness was on the stand till 8
o'clock, when court adjourned.
