THE LEGISLATURE.
TwENTY-EIGHTH SESSION.
Tuesday, Feb. II.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1.-THE senate routine only
occupied q few moments, and at lO:2O that body
resolved itself into committee of the whole.
Bill requiring railroads to give notfcs at all
stations by blackboard when trains are late
was recommended to pass. Bill requiring
railroad companies to build platforms at sta
tions for unloading machinery slightly
amended and recommended to pass.
Senator Deans anti-pool selling bill was then
taken up, The sentiment appeared to be al
most unanimous in favor of the bill, Senators
O'Brien and Mayo alone speaking in opposi-
ton, while dozen of the senate orators
recorded themselves as in favor of the
measure. The debate was chiefly on an amend
ment offered by Senator Tawney and which
was not strongly opposed by Senator Dean,
allowing pool selling within the actual en-
closures of race tracks not more than twenty
four hours before a race and limited to thirty
days in year The amendment was attached
by vote of "a to l6 and the bill was recon-
mended to pass by a practically unanimous
vote. The senate then adjourned.
The house spent the morning in the intro
duction of bills, resolutions and reports. The
total number of bills crept up past the 500
mark, and the aggregate of bridge appropria-
t1ons asked now exceeds any possibilities of the
internal improvement funds for years, by
many thousands of dollars.
The Introduction of bills was resumed after
recess, and another batch of appropriation bills
were handed in. The house then went into
the chair The Union Pacific joint resolution
was indefinitely postponed, and the worlds
fair bill and Mr.. Bleecker's bill regulating the
salaries of officers of building and loan associa-
tions were rec 'mmended to pass. The house
then adjourned.
Morris tribune., 1893-02-22
Wednesday. Feb. TX.

ST. PAUL, Feb. Ex-senator Sanborn's reso-
luton was indorsed in the senate by vote of
q to TO- The resolution, as adopted, provides
for free coinage of silver without details as to
the ratio.
Senator Woods bill making the threshing
bill first lien on grain threshed; Senator
Craven's bill relating to the law of cartways
and Senator Keller's adulterated coffee bill
passed.
In committee of the whole Senator Canes
torp's bill providing for the election of railroad
commissioners was recommended to pass as
was Senator Sanborn's bill proposing a consti-
tutlonal amendment exempting parsonages
from taxation.
The house was busy with appropriation bills,
it being the last day upon which they could be
introduced. The bills introduced provide for
the outlay of more than 100000 in counties in
all parts of the state, for the building of roads
and bridges and for making similar improve
ments.
The only bills of Importance passed were the
worlds fair appropriation and Mr.. Bleecker's
bill relating to building and loan associations.
Morris tribune., 1893-02-22
Friday. Feb. II.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1.-THE Minnesota legisla-
ture set apart Friday for its biennial visit to
the state prison at Saltwater. The legislators
and their families and friends to the number
of about three hundred assembled at the
Union depot at 10 o'clock, and were disposed of
in six extra coaches attached to the regular
train on the Duluth road. Upon arriving at
Saltwater the train was stopped opposite the
prison, and the party entered through the
warden's Office, where they were met by
Warden Henry Wolfer and the members of
the board of prison inspectors The entire
morning was spent in tour of the buildings,
and at noon the party was so disposed about
the place as to have view of the arrival of
the convcts for dinner the disposition of that
meal and the return to work. After the con-
victs were back in their places, the visitors
were seated to splendid dinner served in the
apartments adjoining the warden's office. In
the afternoon the manufacturing departments
were visited, including the new binding twine
building. The party returned to st. Paul on
the o'clock train.

ANNEXATION MESSAGE.
A Communication from the President
on the Hawaiian Question.

ON the Hawaiian Question.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE treaty Of
annexation concluded between Secre-
tary of State Foster and the commits
sioners of the provisional government
of Hawaii was transmitted to the senate
Wednesday, but not made public. The
message of the president was brief, 1t
states that itwas deemed more desirable
to fully annex the islands than to estab-
hsh protectorate. The president says
the overthrow of the monarchy was not
in any way promoted by this govern
ment; that the restoration of Liliouka-
lani is undesirable, if not impossible,
and that unless actively supported by
panied by serious disaster and the dis
organization of all business in the
islands. He says:
1t is essential that none OF the other
great powers shall secure these islands.
Such possession would not be consistent
with our safety and with the peace of the
world. Prompt action upon this treaty is
very desirable. If it meets the approval of
the senate, peace and good order will be
secured to the islands under existing laws
until such time as congress can provide by
legislation a permanent form of govern
ment for the islands. This legislation
should be, and do not doubt will be, not
only just to the native and all other resi-
dents and citizens of the island, but should
be characterized by great hberality and
high regard to the rights of all the people
and of all the foreigners domiciled there.
In letter to the president laying the
treaty before him, Secretary of State
Foster recapitulates the history of re-
cent events in the islands leading up to
the revolution; the establishment of the
provisional government; the appear
ance of the commissioners in Washing
ton; the negotiations that have taken
place, resulting in the preparation of
the treaty, and the establishment of the
protectorate by Minister Stevens.
Secretary Foster confirms the presi-
dents statement that the revolution
was entirely unexpected as far as this
was concerned,
Morris tribune., 1893-02-22
Thursday, Feb, 16,

ST. PAUL, Feb. 16.-In the senate Glader's
bill requiring railroads to provide suitable ap-
pliances for loading heavy machindry was
passed almost unanimously. Senator Gran
dall's bill requiring railroad companies to post
blackboard notice of late trains also met
unanimous approval.
Senator Deans anti-pool room bill was taken
up and passed, 81 to 5.
Senator Eaton's measure proposing an
amendment limiting regular sessions of the
legislature to biennials of sixty days was dis
cussed in committee of the whole, but no
action was taken.
The business of the house opened with q
bushel of petitions against a new capitol build
ing, against religious legislation and for a law
prohibing betting on horse races.
Mr.. Greer's bill to provide for furnishing
Minnesota reports to judges was passed, as
was Mr.. Koerner's bill relating to liquor
licenses.
Mr.. Ives bill enabling water power COM
panies to organize as electric light and power
companies was passed with an amendment
offered by DR.. Williams, of st. Paul, inserting
the words franchise" instead of privileges"
and clause requiring city councils in issuing
franchises to comply strictly with the terms of
the charter.
Mr.. Greer's bill regulating the receipt, ship
ment and storage of grain occupied nearly all
the afternoon, and no action was taken on the
measure before adjournment.

POPE LEO'S JUBILEE.
Fiftieth Anniversary of His COnsecra-
ton as Bishop Celebrated.

Fiftieth Anniversary OF His COnSecra-
ton as Bishop Celebrated.
ROME. Feb. 2O.-At daybreak the
pealing of church bells announced the
celebration Of the pope's episcopal jubi-
lee. By O'Clock thousands of pilgrims,
priests and citizens were crowded be-
fore the doors of st. Peters. At 5
o'clock two battalions Of infantry in
full uniform were drawn up before the
cathedral steps to be ready to help the
200 or more gend'armes in preserving
order. The crowd swelled steadily, but
remained quiet despite the tremendous
pressure caused by some 5000 ticket
holders to get nearer the doors.
At & o'clock the cathedral doors were
opened and the foremost of the crowd
swept in. Within half an hour the
great building was packed to the steps.
Thirty Thousand Pilgrims
and %, 900 or $4,000 Catholics from this
city gained admission. Not fewer than
Al, 900 persons, many OF them ticket
holders, were turned away by the mill
tary, who cleared the space around the
building so as to prevent disorder when
the service closed. The pope entered
the cathedral at 9:45, pale but smiling,
and apparently in somewhat better
health than usual. The cathedral rang
with tumultuous cheering as the pope
was borne toward the alter. His holi-
ness officiated at the special jubilee
mass, intoning the opening words of the
TIE Deum and giving his blessing in a
clear, penetrating voice. The mass
lasted until 1915, but apparently did
not fatigue his holiness. He remained
in the cathedral forty-fve minutes af-
ter the celebration and then proceeded
to his apartments. The crowd dis
persed slowly. At noon most of them
had gone and quarter of an hour later
the military withdrew.
