SENATE AT WORK.
Quiet but Profitable Day in tho Upper
House.

Quiet but Profitable Day in the Upper
House.
The first bill on the senate calendar
was s. F. $50, Senator Hanna's bill pro-
viding for the election of railroad and
warehouse commissioners by the peo-
pie. 1t was apparent that a determined
effort was to be made to prevent the
bill passing Immediately. Senator
Stevens moved that it be referred to the
judiciary committee for further con-
sideration. He stated that it did not
mean more than 4S hours delay, but
the motion to refer was opposed by the
friends Of the bill. Its author point d
out the danger of delay. Several other
senators spoke on the motion and it
was finally carried by vote Of % to 10.
A report of the railroad committee
caused little debate in the senate.
Senator Theden's bill repeating the
anti-scalper law was reported without
recommendation and made a special Or
der for next Tuesday. The bill provid-
ing for commission to examine into
the cost of railways in Minnesota did
not fare SO we'll and it was indefinitely
postponed by a vote Of ~ to 20.
Governor Clough informed the senate
that he had appointed DIR. c. L. Welles
of Hennepin county member Of the
board of managers Of the hospitals for
the insane, to succeed DIR. w. A. Jones.
The nomination was confirmed without
opposition.
The railroad commission sent in a
lengthy report defining its powers, as
requested by Senator Cronkhite. Sem
ator Day decided that this would not
be reported until the session next morn
ing.
The following bills were passed:
To provide for the election of state
dairy and food commissioner and to define
his duties.
For the equitable distribution of the
gross earnings tax collected from railroad
companies.

BILL AGAINST POOLING PASSED.
Bill for Election of Railroad
Commissioners by the
People Passed.

ST. PAUL. April 4.-The house COM
mittee ON tax and tax laws, E. E.
Smith of Hennepin chairman, recon-
mended an important bill Wednesday
morning for passage. The bill pro-
vides for the repeal Of chap. 81 Of the
general laws Of 1881, extra session, re-
lating to the taxation of mineral ores,
and was introduced by Mr.. Reeves, Of
Pope. In the law Of 1881 the legisla'
ture decided to levy specific tax OF !
cent ton on the iron ore output Of the
state, and according to the last biennial
message of the governor, the revenue
derived from this source last year was
$4,000. The friends of the Reeves
bill think that the amount Of money re.
ceived from the specific tax does not
harmonlze with the claims OF St. Louis
county that the greater part Of the
natural wealth Of the state lies within
her borders. In other words, there ex.
lists something of a suspicion that the
g, 900 tax is not proportionate to the
amount of capital invested in the bust
ness. Beyond all of which is this ad.
ditional point, that the law passed in
1881 is clearly unconstitutional in that
it provides specific instead of an ad
valorem tax. The tax committee in
dorses the bill unanimously and offers
the following words to sec. by way of
amendment:
provided, that the property speci-
fed in said chap 81 shall be hereafter
assessed and taxed as other property is
now assessed and taxed as provided by
law"
The bill will doubtless go through the
house. If it fails in the senate it will
be because of the lateness of the ses.
sion.
Against Pools.
Mellicke's bill to prohibit all pools
and combinations of firms or persons
dealing in any form Of food prod ucts
caused lively fight. The bill is a
direct stab at the Minneapolis chamber
of commerce, and was negatived by
every member of the Hennepin delega-
ton. Mr.. Mellicke started the discus
sion and shaped the argument by quot
ing the plank of the Republican plat
form which pledged that party to the
opposition of all pools and trusts.
Mr.. Jacobson followed this lead, and
made one of his Enthusiastically vigor.
GUS fights for the bill. J. N. Jones also
made some telling hits. Mr.. Robbins
led the opposition, but the roll call
showed almost solid farmer vote and
considerable st. Paul help for the bill
and it was passed by q vote of 70 to 81.
Among other bills passed were the
following:
10 provide for the appointment of a
state mineral land agent and to appropri-
ate for the salary and expenses of the

Cash Purchase.

One Of the most hopeful outgrowths
Of the hard times is an organization
called the cash Purchase association,
which has been formed in Kansas. Its
members are divided into circles of from
to 20 families, who pledge themselves
individually and collectively not to go in
debt dollar, but to pay cash for every
article bought. Since dealers must put
up the prices Of their wares high enough
to cover their losses on bad debts, they
thus make honest people pay for their
own goods and those of dishonest peo-
pie, too, which is unjust, not to say sim
full. In the case of the Cash Purchase
association the members have this added
amount taken off their purchases, get
ting a discount on the goods they buy.
They buy somewhat on the cooperative
plan. It is claimed that from $50 to $50
year is saved thus to each family be-
longing to the association.
An initiation fee of 81 is charged to
the applicant for membership. This goes
into fund for the help Of any men,
ber's family that is in need. In such
case money for the support Of the needy
family is allowed for q month and in
extreme emergency two months The
money is loan, to be repaid without
interest when the family becomes self
sustaining again.
There ought to be circles Of the Cash
Purchase association all over this coun-
lry It was running into debt that
brought on the hard times.

LIVINGSTON, Mon, Nov 14-The fire
in the Bozeman tunnel, which has been
raging furiously for the past nine
weeks, battling all efforts to subdue it,
has at last burned itself out Of fuel, hav-

The Northern Pacific, it is stated, has
decided to line and arch the entire
tunnel with solid brick masonry, and
the probabilities are that this long and
expensive task will be undertaken early
next spring. Its progress, however,
will not interfere with the use Of the

TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 14.-The spe.

rived here during the night. The party
consisted of Judge Hanford, President
Rolston Of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, and Counsel H. B. Turner of

Of Wisconsin, George r. Peck Of Mil
waukee, counsel of the Adams party;
Silas W. Petit, counsel for the Brayton
Ives board of directors; w. A. Under
wood of New York, counsel for Re-
ceiver Burleigh; w. D. Tyler, president
of the Washington and Columbia River
railroad. Receiver Burleigh left the
party here, going to Seattle, and the
special, after half hours stop, started
east, it being the intention to run
through to St. Paul in Al hours
Burleigh Will Likely BE One.
Judge Hanford will leave the train at
Pasco, going to Walla Walla. 1t was
learned from an authoritative source
that Receiver Burleigh is certain of
being one of the probable two receivers,
and that it is also probable that Judges
Gilbert and Hanford's court here will
be the court of primary jurisdiction.
Judge Hanford would not discuss these
details, but said: 1.-The details of what
was done at Portland cannot for many
reasons be made public. However, l
can say this: These people, namely,
the representatives Of the Adams com.
company and the Northern Pacific
Railroad company have come out from
the East with their desires formulated
in a request which they intend to pre-
sent to all the federal courts having
jurisdiction over the Northern Pacific
property. 1t is their intention to start
here and present this request to the
courts from here to the East
Will Not He Made Public Yet.
1.-The nature Of the request will not
be made public until it is finally pre-
sented to the court at New York These
gentlemen had consultation with
Judge Gilbert and myself at Portland,
and presented the request. They are
now on their way east to present it to
the other judges"
While crossing the Columbia river on
the transfer boat, ex-United States SEN
ator Spooner fell from car step, his
abdomen striking a projecting rod. He
suffered great pain, and some feared he
was injured internally. A surgeon was
in waiting here and on the arrival of
the train he examined the injured man.
The injury is not necessarily serious,
but Senator Spooner will be compelled
to remain quiet for several days.

Armenians Refuse to Give Up
Turkish Prisoners Captured
at ZeitOun.

CoNsrANT1NoPLE, Nov. ii. - The
Turkish minister for foreign affairs,
Tewfik Pasha, has replied to the notes
of the diplomatic representatives OF
Great Britain, Russia and France, as
suring them, as he had previously as.
sured the ambassadors of Germany,
Austria and Italy, that the Turkish
governments statement as to what
measures it intends to take for the sup
preston of the disorders in Asia Minor,
will be presented to the ambassadors
"without delay
The New Ministry Tottering.
Another complication seems likely to
arise, which may give the sultan further
excuse for inaction. The Hall Rifat
ministry is said to be tottering and an.
other cabinet change is likely to occur
at any time.
The rumors concerning the possible
abdication of Abdul Hamed are still
current, but the statement that the i'm
perial yacht is lying off the palace, with
steam up, intimating that the sultan Is
preparing to seek safety in flight, Is a
weak fabrication. The imperial yacht
is sadly out of repair, and is laid up for
the winter.
Armenians Captured . Few Turks.
The most serious state of affairs still
prevails at Zeitoun. where the Arme-
mans recently captured battalion OF
Turkish troops, with their arms, am
munition and supplies, and afterwards
occupied the barracks and all the
strategic positions in and about that
city. The government is striving very
hard to prevail upon the Armenians
there to lay down their arms, promis-
ing that they shall not be in any way
mo.ested if they return to their homes
and surrender the Turkish soldiers they
hold prisoners, with their arms, etc.
The Have Had Promises Before,
But the Armenians have SO frequently
been the victims Of similar promises
that it is not considered likely that they
will give up their prisoners or the posi-
tions they hold. In this case some des-
perate fighting may shortly take place.
as a large force of Turkish regulars and
reserves are moving rapidly upon
Zeitoun.
The captured soldiers, it is known,
have been well treated by the Ar
menians, much to the surprise of the
authorities here, who expected that they
would be killed
Will Probably Wait = Few Days.
1t is believed that the powers will not
take definite action against the porte
until all the naval squadrons have as.
sembled in Turkish waters, which will
be about the time that the British am.
bassador to Turkey, Sir Philip Currie,
returns here after consulting with his
government as 70 the future action OF
GreatBritain.
In the meanwhile, the state of sus
pense is decidedly wearying, and the
ambassadors themselves will be greatly
relieved when the hour for action upon
the part of Europe arrives. Nobody
doubts that this time is coming, it now
seems to be only question of days.
