The Last Wisconsin Legisla-
tive Apportionment Prae-
tically Invalid.
All Previous Acts Also De-
claPed as Being Uneon-
Stitutional.
Another Special Session OF
the Legislature Must Be
Held.
The Con gressional Apportion-
ment Not Involved in the
Suit.

MADISON, Wis.,. Sept. 27.-The su-
preme court this morning rendered a
decision declaring the apportionment
made by the extra session of the legis-
lature invalid. Justice Winslow dis
sentS. Another session will doubtless
be called. and the legislature will make
another attempt to conform to the rul-
ings of the court.
The court holds that the order grant
ing leave to the relator to bring this ac-
ton on behalf of the state was properly
made. Hence the motion on behalf of
defendant to vacate the same and dis
miss the action must be denied. The
court further holds that the complaint
states facts sufficient to entitle
the state to the relief demanded
therein. Hence the motion on
behalf of the state to strike out the de-
murrer to the complaint is frivolous
and for Judgment must be granted.
Such determination of these motions in
effect oyerruled the demurrer of the
complaint. An opinion will be pre-
pared and fled at an early date. If the
defendant desires leave to interpose an
answer to the complaint the court will
hear motion for such leave on the
next motion day.
The general view of the situation is
that the court practically decides that
the legislature has no discretion in
making apportionments. so far as popu-
latlon is concerned, and that the law is
practically
Declared Invalid.
Senator Villas refused to talk upon
the matter, stating that until the opin-
ion of the court could be had it would
be useless to speculate as to its effect
on the merits of the case. He could not
say whether an answer to the complaint
would be made as intimated in the Or
der. The general impression that the
court is disposed to set aside and
further argument would be
loss of time. Another special
session appears inevitable, as all the
previous acts are practically declared
unconstitutional, and in case the present
act is set aside, there would be no act to
fall back upon under which legisla-
ture could be elected.
The court is composed of three Dem
ocrats and two Republicans. and hence
two Democrats agreed with two Repub-
llcan judges. The decision is a com
plete victory for the reiator. The suit
did not involve congressional apportion-
ment. Under the law just set aside the
Democrats could easily control both
branches of the legislature and thus
elect Democrat United States senator
next winter.

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 27.-Hon. H.
H. Hawkins, Democratic candidate for

day, and when seen by the GLOBE rep
resentative denied the statements which
appeared in st. Pau paper of Satur-

best of feeling exists between him self
and the committee. As he has made his

Sibly be any misunderstanding of The

he wears no mans collar, and could not
be hot under it. On the day on which
he is alleged to have made the state

arranged his future appointments for
the entire campaign at the state COM

A GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE.
To Straighten the Columbia and
Irrigate 2,5OO,OOO Acres.


Irrigate 2,5OO,OOO Acres.
SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 27.-A gigan-
tic enterprise to irrigate the entire Big
Bend country, to shorten the Columbia
river 100 miles and to cut off eighteen
rapids of that river has been started.
Capital has been subscribed and fran
chise applied for. d. A. Scott, West
ern capitalist, DR.. Eltmey and L. w.
GOddin are the projectors. The scheme
is to divert the waters from the
Columbia river at township %, range 13,
to Grand coulee. entering the Columbia
river just below Priest rapids. This
will make a ship canal of sixty miles.
and will cost s250.0OO. The natural
formation of Grand coulee, which is
known to have once been the Columbia
river bed, makes the project feasible.
This scheme will make possible the irri
CATION of 2.500.000 acres of land. The
immense impetus to traffic, rendering
easy the navigation clear up the Colum-
bia river, will be prodigious saving to
the government in the matter of appro-
priations for overcoming the rapids.

CLEVELAND. Sept. 27.-Gov. McKin-
