gradually approached the graves and
tombstones. The mounds began to
level and the marble slabs to topple.
In short while the grassy surface had
disappeared. Many OF the tombstcnes

For the New State Capitol
Bill by It's Friends in
the House.
A Very Pretty Onset Of Ora
tors PrecedeS Action on
the First Section.
The Hennepin Delegation and
Country Members Stand
by Ramsey.
Some Really Fine Speeches
by Jealous Friends Of
the Measure.

Advocates of new capitol building
for the state Of Minnesota have won the
first fall in what promises to be the
prettieSt fight to be waged during the
present session of the legislature.
The first secLion of the bill providing
for the erection of a new building was
acted on favora5ly yesterday by the
house. But this result was achieved
only after hard and desperately con-
tested parliamentary struggle. While
the brunt OF the battle against the bill
will naturally have to be borne by the
Ramsey county members. they will be
ably seconded by Hennepin, with one
exception. Mr.. Wyman especially is
doing magnificent work in its favor.
His voice is never raised in the house
without being listened to, because all
men recognize his earnestness and are
willing to bet on his sound business
judgment and good common sense. MIR.
Fletcher. for seemingly trivial reasons,
is opposing the measure to the extent of
his ability.
Of all the interesting debates so far
witnessed during this session, that OF
yesterday was far and away the top
notch talking match. The floor was not
occupied five minutes Of the time by
Ramsey county members. Friends OF
the bill from other sections struck
sturdy blows for it, and stood to the
work without grumbling. And it may
be said without the least shadow of un-
fairness, that they had all the best of
the argument. They were logical, fair
and completely covered the ground,
while their opponents argued on pOssi-
bilties and unforeseen contingencies
that might crop out in the future.

Amendments Ready and Sent Up
to Re Tackled On.
Mr.. Hopkins wanted the location
fixed definitely, and hoped section 10
would be amended at once to fix the
site beyond any shadow of question.
Mr.. Cole, of Otter Tail, offered an
amendment to section s to strike out the
tive-acre provision and insert pro-
vision to locate the new building on the
present site.
Mr. Turrell offered a substitute for
Mr.. Coles amendment to strike out sec
tion 10 almost entirely, and insert a
provision that the capital commission
be empowered to receive sealed pro-
DosalS for the granting or sale to the
state of necessary grounds next to or
adjoining the present site.
Mr.. Bjorge offered an amendment to
Mr.. TurreIl'S substitute, to strike out
the three-quarter-mile limit and virtu-
ally leave it optional with the commits
sion to select site anywhere in the
state.
Chairman Wacek ruled that the sub
stitutc could only be amended if adopt
ed by the house.
Mr.. Walsh hoped the substitute would
be adopted. and, in doing so, paid a neat
tribute to the gentleman from Winona
for his eloquent plea for the new cap
itol. He asserted earnestly that there
could be no good reason advanced why
action should be deferred any longer.
A somewhat extended argument here
occurred on the order in which amend
ments should be voled on, the result be-
ing that it was decided to consider the
bill section 10y section.
Mr.. Wyman said the first section in
vOlved the question whether or not the
state would authorize the building of a
new capitol at the present time. He
held that the amount to be expended
waS very modest considering the great
ness Of the state ard its financial sta
bility. Expressions from the business
men and taxpayers of his own county
had convinced him that the bill was an
honest, conservative and sensible one.
He would not be in favor of attempting
to locate the capitol between the cities
for the purpose of booming real estate,
or in any other city of the state. st.
Paul he held to be an ideal location,
comprising every advantage that could
possibly be found anywhere in the state.

come. With two great waterways to
the ocean, we can transport the prod
ucts of the field and the farm, OF the
shop and the mill, to all parts of the
w0rld-from Duluth by the great chain
of lakes and the st. Lawrence, and from
st. Paul by the Mississippi river and the
Gulf of Mexico. Last, but not least,
her climate is unsurpassed, and next to
pure air Is pure water, and this is abun-
dant, and is furnished by more than
seven thousand lakes, together with in-
Vulnerable rivers, brooks and springs.
This is the great state that asks for q
new capitol. With such brilliant past
and such bright future, can 1T be de-
MED? l trust not. Let Us build 1t wide
and high and massive. A capitol that
will not only be an honor to the great
empire state of the Northwest, but also
monument to the wisdom OF this leg
islature. One that will meet the wants
of this commonwealth for century at
least. Where shall we build it? st.
Paul should be in the future, as in the
past, the Capital City. Its advantages
are too many TO be passed by-its COM
ihunicatiOnS by river and rail are un-
equaled; for like Rome of old, all roads
lead TO ST. Paul. In fact, with its
splendid systems of communication by
rail and river, distances, so far as the
state is concerned. are practically ami
hilated, for in few hours the citizen
living in the most remote part OF the
state can visit his capital city, transact
his business and return to his home. L
hope, Mr.. Chairman, this measure will
be passed as it stands.

fishes but one side of a question. Fol-
lowing the line of argument that had
marked the opposition of the bill
throughout its career in the senate.
Senator Smith went at length into the
operations OF the gross earnings system,
and he recited the amounts of money
that have been paid year by year into
the state treasury, aud he would not
vote for the bill that attacks the stabil-
ity of that system of taxation. Sem
ator DOnnelly had asserted that
should the gross earnings system
be abolished the railways would pay
S6.000,000 a year instead of Sl,000,OOO,
but Senator Smith asserted that this is a
proposition that cannot be demon
strated, else he would gladly support
the bill. He offered an amendment 10
the bill, providing that if the supreme
court of the state shall decide that the
Markham bill interferes in any way
with the gross earnings system then
the act shall be null and void. The
motion to arise and ask that the bill be
made a special order for this morning
was lost on a tie vote of Is to Is, and
Senator Dean moved to fix the special
order at II Thursday. Senator Stevens
had some amendments to offer, and
therefore he opposed Senator Days
proposition to send the bill to the calen-
dar without recommendation, and Sen
ator DODneliY urged that the bill be
considered yesterday afternoon, that
debates be confined TO the amendments,
and that no senator be allowed to speak
longer than ten minutes nor more than
once. The committee finally arose ana
recommended that the bill be made the
special order for 2:30, and this was
adopted and a recess taken until 2:30.

Mr.. Young opposed the bill, for the
reason, as he said, that the agricultural
classes are not able to be taxed any
heavier than at present. While he felt
somewhat embarrassed in his position
as an opponent of the bill, he still could
not bring himself to vote for new
capitol at this time.
MIR. Sails offered an amendment that
the proposed commission be increased
to seven, one to be appointed from each
congressional district.
Mr. Fletcher offered a substitute for
Mr. Sails Omendment to increase the
number to fifteen, to be named by the
legislature.
Both gentlemen supported their
amendments OH the ground that the
whole state should be represented on
board.
Mr.. Horton, although suffering from
a severe cold which detracted from his
power of speech, made strong
argument against the proposed amend-
ments. MIR. Fletcher's alleged substi-
tute was especially deprecated, and he
hoped both would be voted down. If
capitol is to be erected, the work should
be begun on business principles, and
not made political scheme.
Messrs. Ives and p. ii. Kelly were
not. they said, opposed to the amend
ment OF Mr.. Sails, but both expressed
the opinion that the Fletcher amend
ment was not offered in good faith.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Fletcher's
Offering, and it was voted down en-
phatically.
Messrs. HOlmberg, jacobson aud Wy
man spoke earnestly i'll favor of limit
ing the commission to five and let
the best available men in the state be
appointed. They would even favor
limiting il to three men.

Special TO the Globe
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The papers
of the first applicant for the Office now
held by Marcus Johnson, collector of
internal revenue for Minnesota, were
placed on file today. The candidate is
Paul Theegarten, of st. Paul. Although
this officer is not commissioned for four
years. the custom has been TO allow the
four-year rule to work as in other offices,
and while Collector johnson may not be
allowed to hold down the Office for the
full four years, the change will hardly
be made until the president has disposed
of more important matters. Ex-senator
johnson was appointed on Jan. 81, 1899,
but did not take charge of the office till
March 9. Mr.. Theegarten's application,
it will be seen, is in good season, and
will probably keep until the president
reaches that Office.
Attorney L. B. Forrest, of Minne-
apolis, who has been in the city since
the Inauguration, today placed on file
an application for appointment as
special agent of the treasury depart
ment. The salary of the position is SS
per day. Editor Alvan Eastman, of the
st. Cloud Journal-Press, held position
of this kind during the greater part of
the last administration. being stationed
at Louisville and Chicago.
The South Dakota hackers of Gen.
Maris Taylor, in his contest for the
commissionership of the general land
office, today decided to force Judge
Bartlett Trip to define his position in
regard to the matter. to the end that he
come out and make an open figh1,
or else withdraw in favor of Gen.
Taylor. Accordingly Judge Trip
was wired in regard to the matter.
His answer came this evening" but is far
from satisfactory to the receivers. In
1t Judge TrIpp stated that he did no5
understand the situation in regard to
the commissionershIp. but would wire
President Cleveland for full particulars.
From this Gen. Taylor's friends gathe-
the impression that the YanktOn man is
in the fight to stay. From anothe-
source comes the information that SEN
atOr Villas, of Wisconsin, who is a warm
friend of Judge Tripp, recommended
him to the president for the position.
and that the judge really cares very liz
tie for the position. In case the friends
of Gen. Taylor succeed in preventing
the appointment of Judge Trip, the
probabilities are that the post will be
offered to Col. John d. Benton, of North
Dakota.

Senator McIIale argued that the
proposed tax would not affect one
half the towns of the state, and he
followed up his argument Sequentially.
Senator March moved to rise, but with
drew 1t at the request of others, and
Senator Donnelly thought it cruel to
prolong the discussion, bnt he had few
citations to make, and he quoted the
celebrated Illinois case to show that the
tendency of the supreme court is towards
a broader view OF the sovereign rights
of the people. and Senator Day moved
TO amend Senator DeaVitt'S motion and
it was lost and then the other motion
prevailed, 2S to -. and the committee
arose.
Senator Stevens and Senator Day both
moved to amend the report of the COM
mttee so that the bill be recommended
TO PISS and a call of the house was had.
Senator Stevens renewed his amend
ment to section ,, and Senator Craven
raised the point of order that the amend
ment could not lie before the report OF
the committee is rejected, but Senators
Stevens, DOnnelly, Morse and Others
took issue with this, and Senator San
born got tired and attempted to adjourn,
and the chair ruled the point of order
badly taken. Then Senator Smith
offered his amendment again, and the
roll was called and twas lost, ayes "a

adopted 80 to 81, as follows:
