tacks of the Japanese. The same
report also states that the forts on
Liu Kung Tiao island are still in

Motive Power for To-day.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. 13-The as
sembiy was flooded with petitions of
all kinds today. The committee on
federal relations reported against con-
curing in Senator Mills memorial to
congress asking that the Altamonte
bill to dam ST. Louis river be killed.
and considerable debate ensued. The
matter was finally made the special
order for tomorrow morning. The COM
mittee on state affairs reported the two
A. r. L. bills for indefinite postpone
ment A motion to suspend the rules
and put the Chickamauga battlefield
monument bill CT its passage was lost,
and the bill was referred to the COM
mittee on militia.
In the senate the judiciary commit
tee reported for passage the bill pro-
viding for the adoption of children
without the consent of parents by
proper court proceedings. The bill pro
viding that actions TO recover damages
for trespass on public lands, where the
amount in controversy exceeds 500,
may be brought in any county at the
option of the attorney general, was
passed.

and of the amount of S16.170,770
should they run thirty years. As it
is not believed by the committee
that the issue of bonds specifically
payable.in gold will impose any addi-
tionaI burden Of liability upon the
government than if they are made
payable in coin under its pledge and
policy to preserve the parity of the
coins in the two metals, the saving
of this large amount becomes a mat
ter of substantial moment and ad-
vantage to the government, and as
the parties to take the bonds are
under contract to furnish gold coin
for them. it seems no hardship on
the government to contract to pay
them back in the same coin that they
furnish to it
The contract was made a part OF
the report 1t is as follows:
This agreement. entered into this 6th
day Of February, 1895. between the sec
retary of the treasury of the United
States OF the first part and Messrs-
August Belmont & Co.. of New York.

Co. of New York on behalf Of J. S.

(secton 37N0) that the secretary of the
treasury may purchase coin with any
of the bonds or notes of the United
States authorized by law, at such rates
and upon such terms as he may deem
most advantageous TO the public inter
ests: and the secretary OF the treasury
now deems that an emergency exists
IN which the public interests require,
as hereinafter provided. coin shall be
purchased with the bonds of the Unit

mentioned. authorized to be issued
under the act entitled: An act to pro

to the parties of the second part, or
either of them. except in payment for
coin from time to time received here
under. whereupon the secretary of the
treasury of the United States shall. and
will. deliver the bonds as herein pro-
vided at such places as shall be desig-

Fifth-In consideration of the pur-
chase of such coin, the parties of the
second part and their associates here

far as lies in their power will exert all
financial influence and will make all
legitimate efforts to protect the treas

HELENA, Mont. Feb 1S.-The en-
rolling committee of the house finished
the code of civil procedure today. and
it was signed by the president of both
houses and sent TO the governor. Work
on the other code bills is progressing
rapidly. The Herald today says the

PIERRE, S. D, Feb. 1S.-The big
gest fight of the session occurred
today over the woman's suffrage
resolution. All other work was laid
aside. and for nearly three hours the
debate was warm, and at times
acrimonious. Most of the addresses
were made in favor OF the resolution,
and the case was presented with
great strength and eIoquence. The
leading speeches were made by
Messrs. DowdelI. CindaH, DOnahue,
MiItfmore, Parker, CawoOd, Holm
quist, Gold and Henry. On the other
hand Speaker Howard made an able
and forcible speech of great power,
severely criticising Mrs. Craumer
and Mrs. Simmons and the other
ladies who have been pushing the
bill. and pleading for its rejection OF
general and party principles. Other
strong speeches were made by
messrs. Burke. Gunnerson. Russell
and Nelson. The vote to adopt the
adverse report of the committee
stood 45 to G6. The bill was then re-
jected by a vote of 42 to SO. Gold
moved a reconsideration of the ques-
ton. and it will come up again to-
morrow, but will probably then be
killed.
The vote rejecting Aplin's consti-
tutionaI amendment for all town
ships to bond to 10 per cent for irri-
cation purposes was reconsidered
and made a special order for Friday.
The bill granting a bounty on wolves
was also reconsidered. but the fight
against it was led by Calvin, and it
was beaten.
In the senate q bill was introduced
by .Aplin submitting constitutional
amendment changing the capital
from Pierre to Huron on the 18th Of
December, 1896. The bill was not
read during the pressure of business.
When it comes up tomorrow a mo-
ton will be made to Indefinitely post
pOne it, and the friends of Pierre
are confident that the motion viii
carry by a two-thirds majority.
The Taylor investigating commit
tee had Examiner Myers on the
stand all the morning. Mr.. Myers
went very fully into his conduct of
the office and his examination of
Taylor's accounts, and claimed that
he used all diligence to ascertain the
facts. 1t was developed that Mr.
Myers was at the time of the de-
fault and is still a debtor to Mr.. Tay-
lor to the amount of $40O. The Ruth
investigating committee has made a
thorough examination of the COM
missioner's books and accounts. and
tomorrow viii begin examining wit
nesses. Chief Clerk Bowman will be
the first man on the stand.
