.IHE HOUSE OBJECTS.
Senate Memorial to Congress to
Seize Anthracite Coal Lands
Voted Down.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 2S.-The house as a
body does not favor the idea of having
the federal government go into the coal
bushes, and take possession Of the an.
thracite coal fields as eminent domain.
They voted down the senate memorial
to congress on that subject with ma.
jority that was large and enthusiastic.
The vote was non-partisan one. A
the resolution and some of the Republi-
cans voted for it.
There was little else of Importance
done in the lower branch of the legisla.
ture save the introduction Of bills, and
there were but few of these compared
to yesterday. Two free text book bills
were among the number, heralding the
early approach Of food of these meas
ures. Mr.. Tyler would like to see a
normal school established at Waseca,
and is more modest in his demands than
Mr.. Boggs, of Duluth, possibly because
Waseca is more modest city. At any
rate he asks but $4,000 for the build
ing. Mr.. Towards free text book bill
provides that the trustees of each
school district shall purchase books for
all schools below the high school, but
shall not enter into contracts with any
firm or corporation. They may also
supply the high schools with free text
books if they see fit. AS in the other
bills, it is provided that the state super.
intendent shall keep list of prices OF
all books used in the schools for the
guidance of the trustees.
Election Contest.
The Bidderman-Hinri election con-
test, which had been made special
order for II o'clock, was taken up at
that hour. Mr.. Bidderman did not put
in an appearance before the house and
the committees report seating Mr.. Hin
richs was adopted by a unanimous vote.
Mr.. Dunn then offered the following
resolutions on the death of James G.,
Blaine, which were adopted:
Whereas, The death of the great commoner,

TO REFUND TDE MONEY
The State Senate Passes the
Worlds Fair Appropria-
ton Bill.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1.-The senate was
not in mood for talk on converting and
went ahead with the monotonous rou-
tine without a word of unnecessary
comment. Senator Stockton offered
resolution, which met with no opposi-
ton, authorizing the appointment of a
committee of five on dairy and food
products. There was an unusually
large number of bills owing to the long
recess, and after the committee reports
the calendar was reached. Senator
Kiester's bill providing that religious
corporations should dispose of their
property after the rules of their denom-
nations, aroused little opposition, but
was carried by vote of 81 to II. Then
came Senator E. R. Smiths bill, amend
ing the probate code, which received Al
favorable votes The bill cutting the
transcript fee for stenographic reports
from 10 to 10 cents, was also favorably
disposed of and then the worlds fair
appropriation was reached. An amend
ment providing that the commissioners
be paid no compensation was adopted
and the bill was then passed by vote
of SO to %. ~
The senate then resolved itself into
committee OF the whole, with Senator
Keller in the chair. Senator Sanborn's
bill raising the disbursements in civil
actions was the first considered. After
short discussion of the measure the
committee rose without action and the
senate adjourned to 3p m.
! Bills Introduced.
Among the bills introduced are sew
eral of rather more than usual interest.
Senator March introduced the bill pro-
viding for the government of municipal
corporations which is already before
the house, having been introduced by
Representative Winston. The same
senator also introduced bill making
the agreement of ten jurors in civil
case verdict, provided they have de-
liberated over the case at least six
hours. Senator E. R. Smith offered a
bill to reconstruct the board of
boiler inspectors to correspond to the
new congressional districts. The pres
ent law provides for five inspectors and
the bill would allow two more. Senator
Lineau has made "fad" of the culture
of sugar beets and would have the state
appropriate $4,000 for factory at the
state experimental station for the man
ufacture of sugar and the instruction of
students in the culture of the saccha-
rine root A number Of measures of
purely local Importance were also intro
duced
Afternoon Session.
The senate reconvened at 3 o'clock p.
M and went into committee Of the
whole with Senator Craven in the
chair. General Sanborn's bill was
again considered. The bill was recon-
mended to pass. The same action was
taken on several other bills and the SEN
ate adjourned for the day.

IN THE SENATE.
The Upper Branch Discusses the
Worlds Fair Appropriation.

The Upper Branch Discusses the
Worlds Fair Appropriation.
Senator j. w. Peterson opened the
session of the senate with a petition
asking state aid in building armories
for companies of the national guard.
After the introduction of bills, the sen.
ate went into committee of the whole,
with Senator Mcmillan in the chair.
The first bill taken up was that Of
Senator Wood, reducing court reporters
fees for transcription from 10 to 10
cents. The bill was recommended to
pass.
The committee arose long enough to
receive and concur in the house resolu-
tions with reference to the death of Mr..
Blaine, and then settled back into the
harness again. On motion of Senator
La Due, the worlds fair appr opriation
bill was taken up. The bill calls for an
appropriation of 100000 for the uses OF
the board, designed to be used in repay
ment of the money raised by the board
by private subscription. Senators La
Due, Kellar and Stevens spoke in favor
Of the measure and Senators Donnelly,
Brown, Leavitt and others opposed it.
Before disposing of the matter the COM
mittee arose and the senate adjourne
to 3 p. m.
New Measures.
Among the bills introduced the most
important was one by Senator La Due
proposing radical change in the pres
ent system of assessment and taxation.
The bill gives to the assessors OF to
members Of town or county boards of
equalization the right to call any tax
payer whom such assessor or member of
board of equalization thinks has not
correctly tested personal property as re-
quired by law, before the district court
or court commissioner to be examined
as to his property. If any property not
listed is discovered, it is not only as
sessed the reguler tax, but, as pen
atty, % per cent. is. assessed against
such property.
In the Afternoon.
Both houses met pursuant to adjourn
ment. Nothing of importance was
transacted outside of routine matters
and adjournment was taken to p m.

TRAINS DELAYED.

The cold wave had it's effect on the
an extent as might reasonably have
been expected, showing the improved
condition under which they are oper-
ated as compared with few years
ago. AS usual, the Chicago & North
western had the most difficulties to
content with. This mornings train
from the west was five or six hours
late, having been delayed at Sleepy
Eye. No l was held at St. Peter for
six hours, while No. 5, which usually
goes through to New Ulm, was turned
around at Kasota and started east On
time.
Conductor SchOoley's stub train
running to the Junction became
stalled in snow bank near Mr..
Fletcher's farm at midnight and was
unable to get out until nine o'clock
this morning, by which time it was
shoyeled out. Some of the passengers
walked in from the train, through
the storm, several even without COM
Portable wraps.
The freight trains are all suspended
today.
The Omaha road had some difficulty
with the wind and cold, though little
delayed by the snow. The train from
ST. Paul last night was p hours late
and the one from Sioux City this
morning was 81 hours behind time.
The Minneapolis & ST. Louis road
has had no difficulty in getting its
passenger trains through on time, but
it's freight trains were suspended last
| night.
The Milwaukee road has had no
difficulty between this city and Wells.
The morning train from the east On
the main line was an hour and ten
minutes late. The train this evening
from the west is expected to be on
time. The freights trains have run
| light, but all have started out on
| time.
