Raise the Money For Its Erection.
ST. PAUL, May 24.-lhe grain and
warehouse commissioners have re-
turned from Duluth where they were
receiving proposals and examining sites
for the state elevator which the last
legislature provided should be erected
there. In all nine bids We're received,
varying in amounts from $4,000 to S6s,-
800. While there are many things to
be taken into consideration. it is be.
lieved that one or two of the sites
would be very satisfactory. The con-
tract for the site will not be closed un.
til some time next week, as it will not
be possible to hold a meeting of the
commission for several day. as some of
its members will be out of the
city. As soon as the site
is selected plans and specifications
for the building will be prepared. and
then bids for the construction of the
building will be advertised for. There
is money in the treasury sufficient to
purchase a site, and the commissioners
ing money to build the elevator, in
spite of the fact that the attorney gen.
cral has decided that they cannot at
present draw OH the funds of the state
to pay for its construction. 1t is thought
that deal may be made with some
trust company to advance the money.
The commissioners expect to erect an
elevator of IL capacity of 75U, 900 bushels.

Briggs from time to timo took notes. %
quietly as il, instead OF being the cen-
trail figure, he was at most counsel Of

Before the reading of the report began
Mr.. McDougall OF Cincinnati moved
that the case before the assembly take
precedence of all other business, and
this was speedily carried. The majority
report favoring an immediate trial was
then road and adopted. At this point
Professor Briggs rosa as if to address
the assembly. Immediately buzz of
comment swept over the house, while
he and the moderator engaged i'll
MI animated colloquy upon his right
to be heard at this time. Professor
Briggs yielded to Dr. Craig and
Resumed His Seat.
The moderator said that Professor
Briggs had asked him the privilege OF
speaking, but that he had insisted that
tho professor had no right to speak at
that time. DR.. Craig said, however,
that there would bo u time when his
brother, Professor Briggs, should speak.
The moderator then announced that in
accordance with the book of govern
ment the assembly would be turned
into judicial court Of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and, following the rules of pro.
cedure, called for reading of the judg-
ment, notice Of appeal, the appeals and

it on the ground that no federal ques-
