suranee.

"A sensation was produced III the
house yesterday morning by the intro
duction of 4 resolution of inquiry by
Representative Dunn, of Mile Laos.
Mr.. Dunn is imbued with the idea that
the state has been fleeced in the sale of
some sturpage in his county, and he
offered resolution asking a full eX-
PLANTATION from the state auditor. The
stumpage in question is OH section So,
town ~, range 20, Mile Laos county.
Mr.. Dunn said that there were about
100000 feet on the section, and he
understood that it had been sold to G. A.
Smith < Co., of Minneapolis, for 50 a
thousand, while good judges, who have
been over the land and made estimates,
said they would have given s.. This
meant loss to the state of s. thou
sand. or a total of $4,000. The land
was about the best in Mile Laos county,
he SAID, and he wanted to find out the
facts about the sale. The resolution
was adopted.
" hat the Firm Says.
c. A. Smith, of the Minneapolis lum-
Der firm, is out OF the city and could not
be communicated with in regard to the
matter. a. Il. Rogers, at the Office of
the firm. stated that the timber was pur-
chased as stumpage, and that scarcely
any of it had been cut. 10 the best of
his recollection the acquisition of the
property was through auction sale, but
he could not recall the price paid. The
contracts and deeds were not in his
keeping.
FIe AUDITORS Views.
State Auditor Bierman was averse to
talking about the Dunn resolution yes
terday. He did say, however, that the
statement asked for by the Princeton
senator would be promptly furnished.
''lf Mr.. Goss or any one else waSWilllng
- pay a a thousand feet, then | am
sorry the state did not get it; but the
timber was appraised at s1.75 per thou
sand by the proper authorities, and it
was supposed the state made good
trade at the 81 figure.''
MIR. Goss is the lumberman who. it is
said, wanted 10 buy the stumpage at 81
per thousand. He is lumberman at
Princeton.

LEGAL PHASES.
The Work of the Senate Judici-
airy Committee Yesterday.

The Work of the Senate Judici-
airy Committee Yesterday.
The senate Judiciary committee had a
lengthy and productive session yester-
day afternoon. The most important
action was the determination to recon-
mend the indefinite postpOnement of
the bill fixing the salaries of officers in
counties of 10000 inhabitants. This
relates to Hennepin county alone.
Senator Sanborn was of the opinion that
Ramsey might wish to come in under
the provision, and it was at his request
that the action indicated was taken.
The committee also decided TO recon-
mend the indefinite postponement of
Senator Little's bill, relating to appeals
from Justice courts in criminal cases.
But Senator Sanborn's bill fixing the
legal interest on installment notes past
maturity at per cent, was faVorably
passed upon. The bill providing court
reports for judges of probate and clerks
of district courts was indefinitely post
poned. Senator j. d. Smiths bill relat-
ing to costs in trials was recommended
to pass, as was Senate File 155, fixing the
fees of clerks of courts. Senator
Tawney's bill, giving the reporter of the
supreme court the same salary emf Dyed
by district judges, was indefinitely
postponed.

TWO VERY HOT FIGHTS

the Senate.
Killing OF the Bill Annulling

tain Relatives.
The Same Fate 0vertakes
Cd the Total Loss InSup-
ance Bill.
Donnelly's Idea Of Having an
officer to Kill Noxious
Weeds.

The grave senators spent another day
in bard, deliberatiye work. The dry
routine was only disturbed upon two
occasions. The John Day Smith bill
relating to marriages was one, and it
failed after an exceedingly exciting and
interesting struggle. The other meas
ure that disturbed the equanimity of
the seigniors was Senator Davis meas
ure changing the form of insurance
policies, and this measure led to no
little acrimony. Senator Davis is very
much in earnest in his endeavor to Sc
cure the passage of measure that he
holds will better protect the insured
against the cupidity of insurance cor
porations, and his battle with Senator
j. d. Smith on the measure will be re-
corded as one of the most thrilling cpl
sOdes OF the present session of the SEN
ate. The body accomplished great
deal OF routine work, and then took an
adjournment until Monday afternoon at
3 o'clock.

bill, providing that women shall have
the right to hold city and village Of
fees and to vote at municipal elections,
has been favorably reported by the
Judiciary committee to the senate. and
that report has been adopted, there is
grave doubt about the friends of the
measure being able to secure its final
passage.
The senate sanitary committee yes
terday recommended for passage the
board of health bill, fixing the terms of
office and defining duties and bowers,
and the same was adopted yesterday.
The senate finance committee will re-
port an omnibus appropriations bill in
lieu of the measures now pending.
The senate committee on public build
ings Yesterday recommended for passage
the bill apprOpriating S150,000 for build
inc for the state historical society, and
the measure will go upon the calendar
for Monday.
There is pretty strong opposition in
the senate to the Morse bill creating the
Office of elevator inspector. 1t is con-
sidered a useless measure, save to the
lucky man who gets the sinecure. st.
Paul and Minneapolis already have ele-
vator inspectors in connection with the
building inspectors office. The bill had
reached the calendar, but owing to the
strong opposition that it met yesterday
it was recommitted to the committee Of
the whole.

FOLLOWING IRELAND.
An Effort to Put the Hoboken
Parochial Schools Under the
FaPibault Plan.
Controversy Among the Catholic
Hierarchy Transferred to
Rome.

NEW YORK, Feb. PA movement is
on foot in Hoboken to put the Catholic
parochial schools of that city under
the Faribault system of Archbishop
Ireland. Father Corrigan, of the
Church Of Our Lady of Grace,
Hoboken, who recently had dispute
with Bishop Wigger, is at the bottom of
it. He has made a proposition to the
school trustees Of Ho5oken to turn over
his parochial school to them. on the
condition that after school hours he be
allowed to give religious instruction to
the Catholic pupils. Father Corrigan
has suggested the Faribault system,
pure and simple, as a solution of the
question which is now exciting Cath
oIics all over New Jersey. as to how the
Church of Rome shall get its share OF
the taxes which the state apprOpriates
to support free schools.
Several Catholic clergymen who hold
liberal views on the public school aueS-
tion have prepared bill which is to be
introduced before the New Jersey legis-
lature closes its session. The bill pro-
videS that the state shall annually APP,
prOpriate a certain amount from the
state school fund for the support and
maintenance of the parochial schools.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-The controversy
begun among the Catholic hierarchy of
this country by the accusation of Arch
bishop Corrigau's friends that Cardinal
Gibbons had held back the correspond
ence of the conference of American
archbishops in relation to the appoint
ment of permanent apostolic delegate
has been transferred to Rome. The
Information of this latter move
was made known in st. Louis
today by a private tele-
gram from New York announcing that
the author of the story published in
Chicago some time since regarding the
enmity Of Archbishop Corrigan towards
Mgr. SatOlli was the editor of the
Church Progress, of st. Louis. Condo
Pallen, who opposed the sending to this
country of the apostolic delegate, was
seen, and said: The st. Paul crowd
are responsible for that report. But
they won't find out who wrote the tele
gram or gave away Cardinal Gibbons
letter."
The Catholic priests of this city are
again agitated, and a supplemental pc
tition concerning the administration of
diocesan affairs will he forwarded to
Rome tomorrow. The paper is,now be-
ing circulated among the priests, and it
is claimed that it has secured over half
the signatures Of the priests of the city.
The petition asks for speedy settle
ment Of the chaotic state of affairs
which prevails in the st. Louis arch
diocese.
