LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

- Tka 0Aaaa0m

he 37th Legislature Of dinnesots Closes
Its Session.
| ST.. PAUL, April 20.-The twenty-sev-
enth legislature of Minnesota is a thing
| of the past. As one of the members re-
marked the record is made and by it
the members must stand. Saturday
tie 18th was day remarkable for the
amount of work done and the length of
the session. When the members came
into the chamber it was noticeable that
they had the night before carefully
laid away the fighting clothes they had
worn for forty-eight hours and APP
peared arrayed in suits of brotherly
love and were strongly imbued with a
determined sense to get right down to
work by shutting off all verbiage and
frown down frivolity.
The session began promptly at a. m.
and with the exception of two short
recesses for dinner and supper, lasted
until 6:15 a. m. on Sunday. The session
had been open but an hour when the
general appropriation bill as passed by
the Senate was taken up and considered
by sections. Everything went along
all right until the clause appropriating
1876, 900 for the establishment of a beet
sugar factory was reached, and then
the Alliance members made fight
which resulted in expunging the para
graph.
The concluding section was reached
about S p. m. All of the Senate amend
ments had been fought bitterly but
with little avail. Speaker Champlin
taking the floor called Mr.. Stockwen to
the chair, and pointed out that the diff
ference between the original House
appropriation bill and the bill returned
from the Senate was $685., 1000. OF this
amount $4,000 was additional to the
Soldiers Home, $4,000 for a new bind
ing Irvine machine and $3.50, 600 for a
revolving fund, making total of $685.
600 against which appropriations the
House had passed and no objection had
been raised. Then the Rochester asy-
lum appropriation had been increased
$4,000, against which no objection
could be raised nor had been, making
1926, 1000 of the difference. The Senate
bill had been amended by striking out
the $4,000 appropriation for beet
sugar factory bounty, leaving the diff
ference between the original House
bill and the Senate bill only $4,000.
The following sums of money are ap-
propriated out of any moneys in the
state treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated belonging to the general revenue
fund, for the payment OF certain gen.
eral expenses of the state government,

1898:

Cuban RociDrOcftv

MADRID, April 20.-The reciprocity
convention between Spain and the
United States, as drafted by Premier
Canovs Del Castillo, representing Spain
and General j. w. Foster, representing
the United States, is based, as far as
the United States is concerned, on the
third, or reciprocity section of the new
American tariff law. In return for the
privilege Of free entry into the United
States of Antilles sugars, molasses, cof-
fee and hides, and reduction of the
duty on tea, America will obtain ex.
emption from duties on most of her raw
and manufactured products and re-
duction of the tariff on cereals and
-four
The negotiations were protracted up
on the question of entire abolition of
the tariff on cereals, fours and oils, in
Guiding petroleum and lard. The same
question in regard to tobacco was also
raised, but not coming within the scope
OF the third section of the American
tariff law, was put aside.
Santander merchants declare that
taking into consideration the cost of
the transportation of Castil grain of
which the bulk goes to the Antilles,
American flour will crush out the Span
ish products in the Spanish provinces in
the West Indies. Cuba now consumes
100000 barrels of -four yearly-chiefly
Spanish, which enters free of duty
and pays for it $1s per barrel. Trade in
American -four, burdened with an ex-
ira duty of 20 per cent since 1929, has
been completely wiped out to the ad-
vantage of the Spanish product. Under
the new convention the entry of Ameri-
can flour practically free of duty will
lower the price to about IS per barrel
and will extinguish the importation of
Spanish -four while increasing the
Cuban consumption to million barrels
yearly, all of which will be American
product.
