Tled SanatOr LeaVitt moved to make the
appropriation for the soldiers home

amend by making the amount $50. 600.
lie made speech declaring that it was
necessary. lie was followed by Sena-
tors Davis and Day on one side and
senators DOnnelly and Crate on the
other, the latter declaring that the ac-
cusauon that he was against the sol
diers was false.
My people,. he said. want to care for
The old soldiers. but they want TO provide for
lnem as economically as possible. We feel
mat we can Go 50 much more cheaply than
II Is now being done.
Senator D0nnelly declared that while
ne and the senator from Otter Tail had
not been the best Of friends. ne could
not allow any one to impugn the sen
aJors motives. He had taken the un-
popular side because he evidently be-
HeYed 1t TO be right. The amendment
OF zen. Sanborn was amended by Sen
aJ0r Davis. making the amounts Sl05.-
200. and on this the roll call was COM
menced. The first man TO explain his
vote was Senator Brown. who said:
I have several times attempted to raise nv
voice IN defense OF the people OF Minnesota

people mas Deeu voted away like dirt. l
know many Old soldiers and dOnOU believe
they are asking this great appropriation.

THE MORNING SESSION.
Resolutions ana Routine Occupy
the Time.

Resolutions ana Routine Occupy
the Time.
Nearly the entire morning session of
the senate was taxed up in discussing
and voting upon resolutions. Some of
the senators desired to change the rules
and others wanted to pay the committee
clerks for the time they served prior TO
the adoption OF the resolution appoint
ing them. Many OF these resolutions
were lost, and then the regular order
was taken up. Senator March. who has
q farm in the Red river valley, requested
leave OF absence Tor the remainder OF
the session to give him time to supeTin-
tend his seeding. This was granted by
a unanimous vote. The general orders
were made the special order for II
o'clock. but when that time arrived the
majority voted to put it OF until 3
o'clock.
Committee reports came next. among
which was one OF great importance to
the state. This was presented by
Chairman March. OF the special commit
tee on waterways. This report faYOrS
the Duluth-CrOOkstOn canal system of
navigation and opposes the Minnesota
valley scheme. In this report are the
results of the numerous surveys that
nave been made, and whether acted
upon IavOrably in the near future or
not. it cannot fail to excite considerable
interest In the subject throughout the
state. Five thousand copies OF the
report were ordered printed for dis
ribuUiOn.
Senator Keller next called up the
Searle bill fixing the number of coil
victS 10 be employed in cutting stone for
sale at the st. Cloud refOrmatOTy at
80 per cent OF the number in the insti-
tuition. and moved its passage. This
was vigorously opposed by Senators
Brown. LeaYItt and PTObSUheld. and at
first lost. but was afterwards reconsid-
cred and passed by vote of 81 ayes TO
- nays. This result was due solely TO
the vigorous canvass made by Senator
Keller. VINO pushed the bill through at
the request OF his constituents. and not
because he himself was very strongly
IN favor OF 1t.
