unless something were done pretty soon
the electric cars would all be vestibuled
before this or any other bill of the kind
had been passed. He had been in
formed that the ST. Paul and MinneapO-
lis cars were even now being enclosed.
Mr.. Ives thought this was mistake,
and also differed with Mr.. Boggs. lie
had been Informed by Mr.. Lowry that
his company only had $50 ears in opera
ton, and he saw no reason why these
could not be enclosed, or even new cars
built to take their places, if necessary,
before Dec. l, 1898. 1t would be 10
more than common humanity, he said,
to compel the street railway companies
to protect their employees.
Mr.. Kelly, of Ramsey, said he hoped
that no unfair demands would be made
upon the railway company. lie knew
from his own sad experience that
ing any dividends, ana thought
the state should be seaSOnable.
An amendment by Mr.. Horton to have
the bill apply only to such ears as might
he built in future was promptly voted
down, and so was his motion TO indeh-
nitely postpone. a motion by MIR. Walsh
to recommend the bill for passage was
then adopted. The committee then
arose. adopted the report and adjourned,
Notwithstanding that many OF the coun-
try members wanted to continue work
until time for the evening trains.

introduced a resolution providing for
three sessions each day, but notice of
debate was given, and it went over.
A joint resolution was presented,
. which had been passed 10y the senate,
and which provided that. whereas it
had been stated that there were large
deposits of coal in the northern part OF
the state, the state auditor was there
fore instructed not To contract any
leases of state lands until such time as
the legislature shall have enacted law
to protect these lands. This looked
very innocent to the members at first,
but very soon Mr.. Cotton discovered
that, in case no law on this subject were
passed at the present session, the state
leases of all lands would be tied I'D in
definitely. Mr.. Cotton and Mr.. BoggS

ton. 1t was finally laid over under no.
tice of debate.
