State Treasurer Nichols reported q large
number of school districts in default in in
terest on their bonds, among them school
district No: 80, Barnes county, which it is
said intends to repudiate 1899: Grand
Forks, $1,000; Devils LaAo, $775. The total
account OF interest in default is SIS, 067. so.
THE COAL BILL LIVES.
The Speaker ruled that the adoption of a
committee report recommending that a bill
be indefinitely postponed, did not indef.
nitely postpone the bill. Mr.. Edwards
claimed that this ruling would revive his
coal Dill, and this was held TO be the case.
So the Edwards convict coal bill still lives.
THE AILROA BILL.
Mr.. SMITH moved that the action on
Friday, which postponed action on the rail.
road bill until after the return of the inter
state committee from st. Paul, be recon
sidcred.

would visit st. Paul during the coming
week, and would be prepared to report i'm
mediately on their return. 70 reconsider
the action OF yesterday or to take up the
Dill while they were gone would be equiv
alrnt to dispensing with the committee.
Mr.. LlNDSTROM said he was absent
SICK yesterday, and thought an unfair ad.
vantage had been taken OF him.
The motion of MI. Smith was adopted.
Mr.. WlNEMAN desired to lave the bill
made a special order and be carried over
until after the return of the committee. 1t
would not do to act on this bill blindly. If
an attempt is made to rush it through
without due consideration it will react
against the author, against the measure
and against the best interests of the state.
Mr. LlNDSTROM SAID no such delay as
proposed for this bill had beeu proposed in
relation to any other, and to put off action
Tor ten days while the committee was visit
ing ST. Paul would result in still further
delay in the tlnal defeat of the bill. as the
senate would not have time to consider 1t.
Mr.. WINEMAN said we had invited
Minnesota to raise a committee for confer
ence. They had notified the governor of
the appointment OF such committee. It
would be discourteOus to them to act upon
this bill before that conference could be
had. This house ought to nave the report

they will be able to give.
Mr.. LlNDSTROM moved to make it a
special order for the 18th.
Mr.. TWlCHELL said the principal oh
Ject OF the interstate committee was to
secure lower wheat and coal rates. Pass
this bill before they 60 and you take the
wine out of their sails. You had better
recall the committee if you propose to do
that. They will have no lever to work
with; nothing to work on. They would be
able to report by Friday.
Mr.. HODGSON moved to make it a special
order for Friday.
Mr.. LINDSTROM said he would favor
delaying the vote on the bill till the COM
mlttee returned, but he wanted it consid-
cred in general order.
Mr.. WlNEMAN called attention to the
fact that Friday is the 22d, many will be
away Saturday. Sunday and Monday, and
tuesday, the 26th, all would be here, and
Tor that reason he urged the 26th. 1t the
PHI is acted on while they were absent it
left them in a bad position.
Mr.. SVENSRUD asked why the COM
mittee had not gone before.
MI. SIMPSON said the notice of the ap-
pointment of the Minnesota committee
only came yesterday.
main in general orders until the return of
the committee.
HORSE PLAY.
Mr.. TWICHELL desired to have an I'm.
Outstanding as to who is on that committee
ana who is going to st. Paul. A commit
tee of five had been appointed, three from
the house and two from the senate. Since
then another had been added. but there
was no authority for it, and he desired to
know by what authority the speaker added
one TO the committee. He regarded it an
insult to the committee, an inlimationlthat
they were unworthy. 1t was also an
imposition upon the interstate committee
with which they have to act. For his part
ne wanted an understanding or he did not
want to 20.
The chair said the committee first ap-
pointed was Messrs. Wineman, Twlchell
and Prosser. and by consent of the house
ne ilad added Mr.. Simpson, understanding
that the senate had agreed to an enlarged
committee. Later, he said it was under
stood that Mr.. Simpson was going down
any way and so he was added to the COM
mlttee: IL was done in open house and
with the conc urrence of the house.
MI. SIMPSON did not desire to 90 to St.
Paul unless the distinguished gentleman
from CaSS should he a member of the
committee. He hoped he would not
think of DESERVING. 1t would be like a
general deserving his army. Besides, the
gentleman had, himself, said that he was

represented anything.
MIR. TWlCHELL insisted that the senate
had not concurred in the appointment of
another member from the house, and the
lieutenant governor had assured him they
would not.
Mr.. SIMPSON said the information that
they had was from the same source, and
they were in the same condition when they
received the information.
MIR. TWICHELL said he did not know
until last evening that the gentleman from
Stark had been selected to chaperone the
party: He desired to know what they
would do with the extra members when
they come to meet with 7 to their S.
MIR. SARGENT said the house had con-

Mr.. SIMPSON said Senators Burke. Lit

concur.
Mr.. TWlCHELL-Governor Worst told
me last night.
Mr.. SIMPSON-What time last night?
Mi: TWlCHELL wanted a committee
appointed to see whether he or Mr.. Simp.

Mr.. SIMPSON moved that the gentleman
from Cass be a committee of one to mako
