were so harsh that he was called to
order by Mr.. Robbins, who objected
to the words false and untrue" as
used by Mr.. Underwood in speaking
of the charges made by Mr.. Robbins.
Mr.. Feig also repealed what he consid-
cred an imputation upon his position,
and when Mr.. Robbins disclaimed
any intention to offend, Mr.. Feig
apologized for having demanded an
apology.
After things had been thus smoothed
over, a motion to recommit to the pub
lie lands committee was carried, after
number of amendatory motions had
been voted down.
Then followed a lengthy discussion
of various measures of more or less
consequence, and about twenty bills
were advanced to the calendar.
Mr.. Dingman's elections bill was
amended in it's provisions relating to
the pay of judges and clerks, and as
amended was recommended to pass.
VAN HAS A BILL.
One of the few bills introduced by
Speaker Van SAINT was also recon-
Rating $1,000 for the relief of Marietta
Crawford, to whose father the state
was indebted in the sum named, and
the appropriation asked is the simple
payment, without interest, of that
amount due twenty years ago. The
papers showing the business of the
claim were found among the other
documents of the dead man. The
house recommended the passage of
the bill without scrutinizing the papers.
H. F. 634, being the bill to amend
the constitution and provide certain
regulations for the handling of the
public school funds, was, on motion of
Mr.. Jacobson, made a special order
for 10 o'clock this morning, to be con-
sidered in connection with a senate
bill on the same subject.
Senator Hanson's bill for the relief
of the cyclone sufferers in Meeker
county was recommended for indefinite
postponement, and DR.. Tiers patent
| medicine bill was pushed along under
report of progress.
In this connection DR.. Zier objects
to the statement that this is his third
attempt at the passage of the patent
medicine bill, stating that the present
bill is an exast duplicate of the last
one, with the exception that the pro-
posed bill is not to become operative
| until Jan. l, 1896
There was a pretty warm discussion
| over Senator Jones Russian thistle
bill, Mr.. Damp proposing an amend
ment to include quack grass among
| the noXiouS weeds to be reached under
| the operation of the bill The friends
! of the measure admitted that the mat
| ter was an experiment, but Mr.. Jacob
| son thought the experiment could bet
| ter be made by the state than by
| private individual. Messrs Johns and
| Warner made sharp point on Mr.
i Jacobson by declaring themselves as
| friendly to the BILL claiming that it
| was directly in line with the argument
presented on the smelling bill, which
Mr.. Jacobson had denounced as an ex-
pertinent at the expense of the state.
| The Ramsey county leaders had Mr.
Jacobson in a hole for once, and he
| admitted it by smiling grimly, taking
| his medicine and saying nothing. The
amendment to include quack grass was
| voted down, and the bill was recon-
| mended to pass.
| Senator Greer's bill providing for an
| appeal from the county superintend-
| ent of schools in cases where that
| official. refused to issue certificates to
| teach was favorably reported upon, an
amendment being adopted providing
that the appeal may be heard before
the high school board instead of by
the state superintendent, as provided
in the original bill.
Senator Fuller's logs and lumber
| bill was recommended to pass as it
| came from the senate, and Senator Mil
| ler's township organization bill, pro-
viding for the election of part of the
| board of township supervisors each
year, was indefinitely postponed. a
similar bill having been defeated early
| In the session.
| Mr.. Wright's bill providing some new
| regulations for the vote@on removal of
county seats was warmly debated, and
| had narrow escape from indefinite
postponement. but was recommended
for passage by a vote insufficient to
enact it. The house did not adjourn
| until o'clock.
The house judiciary committee met
last night and failed to arrive at an
agreement in the matter of the Ives
Impeachment, adjourning to meet
again at 5 o'clock this afternoon. AL
though nothing definite or official has
| been given out, it has been stated by
| individual members of the committee
| that the committee will not report in
| favor of Impeachment
