LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
A Novel Bill Introduced by Senator
DOnneiiy.

A Novel Bill Introduced by Senator
DOnneiiy.
Senator Donnelly introduced a novel
bill yesterday, and it was accompanied
by the governors request. 1t provides
for the publication Of stenographic re-
ports OF the legislature. 1t directs the
secretary of state to advertise for pro-
posas prior to the sitting of the leg
islature for doing the work. But
it is not made obligatory. 1t vests
the power in the next legislature to act
or not, as it sees fit, but the secretary of
state is to advertise for bids-then the
legislature can do as it pleases with the
same.
Senator Donnelly made an address
upon the bill. explaining the object and
claiming that it will result in great
good in keeping the public Informed of
all legislation. He cited as an illustra-
ton the discussion on the Markham
bill, but qualified that it would not be
expected that all wrangleS be pub
Iished. Senator Donnelly moved to
place the bill at the head of general
orders, and this prevailed.
In One Paper Only.
Senate File SAT was introduced by Sem
ator Leavitt. 1t provides that the re-
ports of the state treasurer shall be
printed in one paper only at the state
capital. The-present law permits the
state treasurer to publish the same in
just as many papers as he may please.
Senator Leayitt made strong speech
upon economic grounds in support of
his measure. He then secured tue pas

SENATORIAL AMENITIES.
Unexcused Absentees Sent for by
the Sergeant-at-ArIns


81 hope that motion will not PREVAIL"
said Senator LeavItt when motion was
made by Senator Tawney to suspend
further proceedings under call of the
senate. 81 think senators should be in
their seats and attending to the business
Of the state,or else resign and go home"
"HOw many are abSent"' asked Sen
ator Tawney.
Ten" answered Senator Day, who
was in the chair. 1.-TWO have been eX-
cuSed."
Then eight are absent without being
excused. I'll withdraw my notion"
There is rule compelling senators
to take their seats upon call of the
senate" persisted Senator Leavitt, land
/ hope this will be enforced"
"I'he sergeant-at-arms will report
absent senators in their seats" said the
chair.
81 would like to be excused so that
can attend a committee meeting" said
Senator Stevens, stepping out of the
judiciary committee room.
Il object interpOSed Senator Taw-
ney.
The senator will take his seat" was
the command of the chair. Then the
sergeant-at-arms was ordered, by a mo-
ton made by Senator Ledvitt, to hunt
up all absent senators and report them
in their seats. All this occurred when
the calendar was reached yesterday
afternoon.

sage of the act under suspension OF
The University Bill.

Senator Mcmillan moved to suspend
the rules, and that House File So be
taken from general orders and placed
on its final passage. II is the bill That
provides for a special tax for the main
tenance Of the state university. -Sena-
tor Tawney felt that it was mistake to
take up house bills out of their regular
order. He urged that it is incumbent
upon the senate to first care for its own
bills and get them into the house.
Senator Daugherty said that there are
some 800 bills now upon general orders
in the house. and Senator Bell had a
few good words for the measure. He
urged that it is the duty of the
state to care for it's university.
The previous question was ordered.
Senator Day, when his name was called
upon this question and III explaining his
vote. suggested that it is bad policy to
pass such bills under a suspension OF
the rules. He advised the Ramsey dele
cation to hold the bill in allegiance until
the capitol bill shall have been passed.
Senator Donnelly felt some alarm at the
tendency that seems so persistent to in
crease taxes. He pronounced III favor
Of caring for the university. and said he
was proud of the institution. The mo-
ton was lost.

THE LEAVITT TAN BILL.
It Is Amended. and Then Passed
by ti.e Senate.

by ti.e Senate
The Leavitt constitutional amen d.
ment bill to tax mines, sleeping cars,
express companies, telegraph and other
companies upon their gross earnings
never fails to entangle the senate i'll
\ caustic debate. The bill, standing near
the head Of the calendar, was reached
yesterday afternoon, and Senator Taw-
ney was the first to secure the floor. He
recited the history of the present min
ing tax. and then proceeded 10 combat
the bill. lie cautioned his coadjutorS
against haSty action. The bill proposes
a constitutional amendment, and there
by places it beyond the reach of future
legislatures. He feared that the tax
might be too heavy for the mining in
duStry to stand.
"a tax of 5 per cent upon the new
companies" said he, 'tne companies
that are merely prospecting, with view
Of learning the location of the mineral
wealth of the state, would force them TO
suspend operations. Ii it is too high it
. Will cripple one of the greatest indus
tries in the entire country"
Moreover, he felt that there was dan
ger of reducing the revenues to the state
graph and express companies, for the
reason that a direct tax, ad valOrem.
will, he believed, amount to more than
the proposed per cent on the gross
earnings.
When Senator Tawney took his scat
Senator Leayitt felt constrained 10
apologize TO the senators for ordering
call of the senate. He said he had not
done it to bring them to their seats TO
listen to speech from the senator from
Winona. Senator Leavitt then answered
the points brought up by Senator Taw-
ney in his welLknown, clear and posi-
tive manner.
He Wished He Were an Orator.
Senator Allen regretted his inability
to express his belief as some Of the 9TH
erS had, but lie would do his utmost to
defeat the passage Of the measure. He
contended that the tax will bear very
heavily upon the counties that cannot
very we'll meet the eXigency. He fol-
lowed out the arguments outlined by
Senator Tawney. While he felt that the
revenue to the state from telegraph,
sleeping car and other companies will
be materially reduced, he confessed
very frankly that this feature was not
his principal interest in the bill. 1t was
the mining feature that lie objected to.
He felt it his duty TO protect the mining
industry from species of legislation
that threatens its existence.
Senator Mcmillan moved the previous
question, but in Difference to Senator
Daugherty, who wished to speak on the
bill. the motion was withdrawn. Sep
atOr Daugherty asserted that the tax on
iron ore is four times greater than a
tax ever levied in any state in the Union.
1t would, he urged, cripple the indus
try until it cannot compete with Wis
cOnsIn and other iron-prodncing states.
Again, he declared, the five cents ton
on the output is four times the tax that
is paid by any other industry in tn
state or by any other property. The
bill only received 26 affirmative votes.
and Senator Stevens changed to no for
the purpose of recOnsidering. Fhe vote

LEAWTT'S TAX BILL.
After Many Amendments by
the Senate, 1t Is
Passed.
1t Provides for a Tax OF Two
and 0ne-Half Cents
Per Ton.
The Bill to Be Submitted to
the People for Ratifi-
cation.
A Second Bill introduced to
Cover the Case in the
Meantime.

The most important measure that
was considered by the senate yesterday
was the Leavtt taxation bill, and it
passed although it was greatly modified.
That is to say, the rates were materially
reduced. The whole afternood was de-
voted to the measure. Originally, the
bill contemplated tax of cents upon
every ton of iron ore mined. Naturally,
this met with the uneQulvocal opposi-
ton of Senators Daugherty and Allen.
They claim that the mining interests
would be greatly initiated thereby.
Finally the rate was fixed at 215 cents a
ton, and the bill was passed. This was
the constitutional amendment bill, and
to tie submitted to the people; and
to cover the interim another bill was
passed providing for the same rate of
taxation until the proposition can be
submitted 10 the electors.
Senator DOnnelly presented very
unique bill. 1t provides for the election
by the legislature of a state official
paper to print all the proceedings of the
sessions, and directs the secretary of
state to advertise for bids for the job.
1t was placed at the head of general Or
ders. and will be considered in few
days.
1t was busy day, and great deal of
business was encompasSed. The mu-
nicipal corporations committee sub
mitted Its report. 1t is the bill that has
excited so much contention, and the
measure that some claim is political
affair. In other terms, it is the bill that
is to govern the cities of the state.
There is no little amount of kicking be-
cause of the immutable patrol limit pro-
vision in Minneapolis, but it looks much
as though there is no probability of re-
moving the embargo.

CITY CHARTERS.

morning. 1t was bill to give charters
aud prescribe laws for the organization
and government of the cities of the
state. 1t is a printed bill containing
ninety-eight pages, but it has been
numerOusly amended. and Senator Nc
MILAN moved that the bill be printed as
amended. and this was adopted, and the
report of the committee was adopted as
amended, and the bill was given its
second reading.
The bill was made special order for

A resolution to give the committee on
roads and bridges clerk was adopted.
Senator Day called up his resolution
of yesterday in regard to the pay OF en-
rolling and engrossing clerks.
Senator Crate offered as substitute
a resolution designed to cut off all
committees.
Thereupon Senator Day stated that
the substitute was going out of its way
to make a stab at two very worthy
clerks. 1t seems that the clerks of the
enrolling and engrossing committees
have been working evenings in expecta-
tion of getting the rate established by
law for the work. The substitute

To Special Committee.
Upon motion of Senator Stevens the
vote was recOnSldered, and he then
moved to place the bill at the head of
genera! orders, but Senator Sanborn
moved, as an amendment, to refer 1t to
Especial committee, consisting OF Sen
ators Leavitt. Daugherty and Stevens.
to strike out the provision TO tax iron
ore. Senator Mcllalen objected to the
Instructions. He insisted that the tax
has been levied in an unconstitutional
way, and he wanted the matter de-
termined at the present session. Sell
ator Daugherty was willing to have the
ore taxed if at a reasonable amount 81
Senator j. ID. Smith, as q substitute,
moved to amend the bill so as 10 reduce
the tax OH ore to three cents ton on
the output-or to instruct the special
committee to so amend.
Then enSued parliamentary wrangle
which was only ended by Senator San
born Withdrawing his motion. the same
being Incorporated In the Smith resolu-
ton. Senator Tawney had further
instruction. He moved that the special
committee strike out the provision to
divide the revenue between the county
and the state. Senator Daugherty said
he was willing to concedr this change,
but he insisted that the rate should be
two cents ton, with the provision that
tbs legislature may increase the rate at
any session to five cents. Senator AL
len moved further amendment, reduc-
ing the minimum TO two cents. and
Senator Mcmillan raised the point OF
order that the senate was under the
previous question.
Senator Leavitt, in heated terms,
scored Senator Daugherty for changing
front. lie had said he would accept the
three-cent rate, and then he had de-
ciared that he would not accept more
than two cents.>
81 do not know that there is any use

This is not the first time that the house

The previous question was then voted
off, and Senator Dean moved to adjourn,
but this was voted down. Then Senator
Sanb0rn asked to. substitute Senator
Aliens amendment, which was admit
ted. LII fixed the minimum rate at 2115,
but Senator Leavitt was not willing 10
accept this amendment to his bill. He
charged that there had been combina-
ton organized with view to decreasing
the output so as to control the prices.
He argued that the mines in state lands
would be undeveloped for tine reason
that % cents per ton is collected on ore
mined under state leases. and the mines
owned in fee would be worked.
The amendment prevailed as follows:

Pertaining Dresses.

Strange to say, there are very few women
who understand the difficult art Of using
perfumes, 1t is great mistake to change
in this respect, according to the dictates of
fashion, and a thoroughly refined and ele-
CANT woman never commits this error. She
adopts one particular scent and uses it to
the seclusion of all others, rendering it thus
peculiarly her own, a proceeding which
stamps her at once with "cachet" of
daintiness and exclusiveness 1t need not
be added that heavy scents are vulgar and
disagreeable, besides being positively dis
tressing to persons whose olfactory nerves
are delicate and sensitive Something
slight and subtle, such as a mixture of peau
dEspagne and Russian violet, or gray am
