TempesGuOUs Career OF the LOcO-
motive Engineers BILL

IIOklN dill.
After very tempestuous career the
bill that has packed the legislature with
lobbyists-the bill that provides that no
ne can he employed as a locomotive ell
gineer who shall not have served as a
fireman for three years, was laid on
the table. Senator Donnelly offered an
amendment widening the scope, so
that 1t include locomotive machinists
who have served at their trade five
years and one year as firemen. Senator
Tawnev amended so as to provide
qualification requirement.; that is, a
machininiSt who can pass the require
nents is eligible. Senator Tawney
made a speech to show that the length
of service is no test Of qualification. He
raised the question of conStitutionality,
and suggested that the law may
interfere with personal rights,
and insisted upon clause providing for
an examination. The senator reviewed
the incidents that attended the attempt
to pass the same bill the last day of the
last previous session. The bill failed,
and the senators who voted against the
measure were branded as enemies of
organized labor, and the state was del
uged with circulars so prOEOuncing. 1t
was made campaign issue.
Senator DOnnelly regretted that per-
sonal consideration had been engrafted
into the discussion.

than was the record of the senator from
Winona," said he, land | think ] have

of majority report from the committee
on privileges and elections in favor of
their right to sit-the minority report
against that right to De presented to-

made by Mr.. Call (Dem.) of Florida. of
newspaper paragraph stating that he
had been crticising President Cleve-
land in the corridors and elevators of

Thai y. ID. Elevator.

Senator Hompe explained that North
Dakota has appropriated 100000 to
build an elevator at Duluth or West Su-
perior, and in the committee Of the
whole he called up the bill to cede to
the State OF North Dakota site at Du-
luth, not exceeding five acres. Senator
Craven did not relish the idea of ceding
part of Minnesota 10 another state. and
moved to refer the bill to the judiciary
committee.
In reply to a question asked by Sena-
tor Dean, Senator Hompe explained that
it did not propose relinQulShlng tax
rights by the state. Senator Canestorp
cOmOatted the motion, and it was voted
down. Then the bill was recommended
TO pass.

Senator Z. r. Smith moved, in the
committee of the whole, the passage of
Senate File 1S3. which increases the
number of the board of inspectors of
steam vessels from five to seven, one to
reside in each congressional district.
The bill does not increase the expense,
as fees only are collected. and the in
spectors get no other compensation.
Senator Allen opposed the bill upon
the ground that there is barely enough
money in the business to support the
five inspectors, and he cited an instance
wherein an old soldier is obliged to
depend partially upon his pension to
live. 1t was recommended to pass,

Wolf Hunters Must Produce
Wolf Hunters Must Produce
Their Wolves to Secure

A dozen senate bills and one house
bill were passed yesterday in the lower
branch of the legislature. Senator John
Day Smiths bill TO prevent docking OF
horses tails was advanced to the calen-
dar Friday evening with little OppOsi-
ton. Yesterday it was singled out for
slaughter, and was beaten to stand
still. Consequently, hereafter. as here
tofore, the nagS that pull fashionable
turnoutS will be seen with head erect
and tail up, like steer in corn field,
and majority of the house members
will look upon the sight with as swell
ing a sense of pride as might be evinced
by the heftieSt prize bull at a county
fair.
Probably the most important measure
sent through was Mr.. Boggs' bill defn-
ing method by which counties may
vote aid for the construction of rail
roads.
Show UP Your Wolf.
Wolf hunters hereafter desiring to
secure the state bounty must produce
the bodies of the wolves to the sight of
the county commissioners, but, having
done this, they will receive a generous
bounty, as noted in the routine report.
By the passage of s. +. 496, nOn-reSl-
dents of the state will be prevented
hereafter from securing license to sell

Che senate in a QuandarT Over the
Judicial ReappOFtIOnment.
In committee of the whole with Sena-
tor Little in the chair, the reappOrtiOn-
ment of the judicial districts was
brought up by Senator Sanborn. Sena-
tor Lienau offered an amendment TO the
bill, cutting Washington, CbiSage, Ken
abee and Pine coun ties from Ramsey,
and making these four counties sep
arate district. Senator O'Brien objected
and argued that the First district should
not be disturbed. Senator Lienau re-
piled that the amendment was SatiSfac
tory To the senators who had objected
to the First district boundaries, but Sen
atOr SanbOrn had an amendment ready
that tore the bill into shredS. 1t was
to strike ont sections /. and 3. defining
the boundaries of the First. Second and
Third districts. Senator DOnnelly said
he was ready to support the bill with
this amendment, but Senator Allen
asked that the committee report prog
reSS. for the reason that the senator
whose district is to be wiped out by the
bill was bot in his seat.
Senator Stevens, upon the adoption
of Senator SanbOrn'S motion. furthered
Senator Aliens suggestion with the pro-
vision that public hearing be given.
Senator McIIale related that the COM
mittee had devoted great deal of
thought to the work. The counties had
been marked out in series, and not like
a checkerboard, and Senator Sanborn
suggested the drafting of another bill.
and he described the system he would
pursue. He would begin at the south
eastern counties and mark out the First
district. and then proceed to the west
ern boundary of the state.
Hue straight to the liue," said he,
''and let the chips fall where they will.
We would all be affected by such a
measure. and probably most of US would
be hurt, out l think it the most just and
equitable method of proceeding. L
hope the bill will be recommitted."
Progress was reported by the com
mittee.

The attorney general, in yOluminous
opinion, advised the senate that it has
the power TO reappOrtion senatorial dis
tricts of the state. Consequently, the
probabilities point TO a bill in the near
future dealing with the problem. 1t is
held by some that the law is mandatory.
and that the redistricting must be done
al this session.
Four years ago Attorney General
Clapp gave the opinion that ninety-day
session meant ninety working days, but
the present attorney general disagrees
with this opinion. Last Saturday was
the SiNty-second day of the session ac-
cording to the records, but the attorney
general has decided that it was the last
day for the introduction of bills, or
twenty days before the close OF the
session by limitation. Gov. Nelson ac-
cords that this is the correct position,
and the bills introduced yesterday will
have to come in again, and at the re-
quest of the governor. Two of the bills
are important measures, and there is
thought to be no doubt about securing

The senate was in business humOr,
although drastic at times. The discus
sion of the engineers bill, that finally
went to the table, was cauStic, as was
that on the Davis two-regimeht meas
ure. The Greer emergency bill passed
with an amendment. 1t provides for a
$4,000 appropriation to further the
prosecution of the coal combine. and at
the suggestion Of Senator SanbOrn the
scope of the bill was expanded so that
he governor may use the money for
the prosecution of any combine or
trust, and to appear at the bar of the
other states affected by such trusts.
This is intended to reach Wisconsin,

The committee on license from the
assembly held meeting last evening
and passed on a number of matters re-
ferred to them. A delegation of citi-
zens from the Tenth election district of
the Sixth ward was on hand to protest
against the granting of a license to John
Bruggeman to conduct saloon at 391
Cherokee avenue. The committee. after
listening to the talks made, decided 10
The same action was taken in regard to
the application of William Emmert, the
brewer, for license at 1852 Rice street.
The following resolution was intro
duced and adopted, and will be pre-
'sented to the assembly at the Enext
meeting:
Whereas. 1t has come to the notice of the
assembly committee on license that the
loon at present managed by one j. c. Cox at
1e6 East Fifth street is in some respects dis
turbing the peace of this community; there
fore it is by this committee
Resolved, That the chief of police be and

to this committee the manner in which the
said saloon is conducted and the propriety of
revoking the license issued to one A. Nielsen

In speaking W lHe TeSOluIIOU, MT.
DAILY said the sooner the city was rid of
this class of saloons the better it would
be for the public in general. 1t was in
connection with this place, he said, that
the entertainment was given which
nearly resulted in the murder of negro
woman.
The question of approving the bond
for the license issued to ''Uncle Bill"
who runs a saloon near the East Seventh
street power house, was brought up by
Mr.. Daily, who said he would not sign
or approve the bond. AS far as he
CO., d understand. the place was resort
for lewd women, and, although it was
perhaps not pit worse than other
saloons in the center of the city, he was
opposed to granting any license to re-
sorts of this character when their pres
enI license expired.
The matter of the amount of license
to be paid by the several theaters was
not acted on, owing to there not being
full attendance of the members of the
committee. The city attorney was di-
reeted to notify the chief of police to
have the ordinance requiring the night
lunch wagons to be removed from the
streets during the day time enforced.
