There was considerable contention
over the iirst bill. Representative JONAS
freman's bill. the author expressing
great concern 10 have it off his hands
by a recommendation 10 pass,
MT. jacobson wanted 10 tack on an
amendment. which Dir. Johns promptly
agreed 10 accept, aud then came pro-
posed amendment from Mr. Kelly. y.
b. But AIr. JOhus demurred 10 this and
succeeded in defeating Il. j. ID. Jones
could 1t understand why city members
should be So much interested in bill
providing for the fire departments Of
country towns, and iG WAS largely on
this ground that the recOmmitment was
secured.
Mr.. Johns looked his silent disgust,
aud with shake of the head went
about the task of satisfying the differ
fight.
There was also a pretty warm dis
cusson over Representative Baston'S
pest house bill.
The principal difficulty seemed to be
that under the law the pest houses
could not be maintained i'll the city,
while it was an offense to have them lo-
Gated anywhere else. Some curative
amendments were tackled on, however,
and the bill was recommended fer pas
sage. The other bills were of minor inn
pOrtance.
The calendar was reached for the first
time. and three unimpOrtant bills were
passed. They were as follow:
H. +. No. IA bill for all act TO re-
peal chapter 412, Special Laws Of Min
neSota. 1889. relating to election OF
county commissioners for the county of
A!tkln.-Gunu.

ing chapter III, Laws OF 1898. Gum.
II. +. No. 1S.-A bill for an act to
prohibit the aiming Of frearms.-Un
derleak.
Adjourned to this morning.
The impression generally prevails
that Representative Staples is chairman
Of the committee Oh Legislative eX-
sentative jacobson having that honor
Representative Jacobson. however, is
one OF the busiest men in the house.
aud leaves to his colleague the duties of
the committee, which involve the pur-
chase OF supplies and the supervision
OF the pages.
AIien-Furiong Contest.
The house committee Oh elections mad
another session last night, and. it is
understood. arrived at conclusion in
the Allen-Furlong contest. The ses-
sion was strictly executive, and the
members declined 10 give any clue TO
their findings, but the impression pre-
walls that MIR. Furlong will retain his
seat. In addition to the fact that Fur
long had the certincate OF election and
the majority Of the votes. he. has the
same points in his favor which settled
the contest in The Probstfield-Smit
contest in the senate.
Mr.. Allen, it seems, neglected to COM
ply with the requirements of law with
reference to filing his notice of contest,
