LAW MAKING. What Was Done by the Eighteenth Yesterday. Several Bills Under Way
 in the House. A Local Option Law is More
 Than Half Possibility. The Piece de Resistance Today Is the Councils Consideration of the Governors Nominations.

Although no bill in either branch of the legislature yesterday reached final vote, proceedings in the house were of an interesting character. Committee reports on several bills whose introduc- ton and progress have attracted great deal of attention were generally favora- bie. Among them was the local option bill. There is. though, less significance in this stage of measure under the ex- isting rules, since the most dangerous whirlpool which incipient legislation may encounter is in the comm mittee of the whole.
 An interesting incident in the council was the struggle over the contract for printing the minutes of the legislature growing out of council joint resolution awarding the contract to TIE DAILY REPUBLICAN and the Daily Gagette. In the house a suggestion by Chairman Brown of the committee on enrolled and engrossed bills that chairmen of con- mittees revise bills for orthographical and syntactical eccentricities, was cal culated to free so much of the revised statutes as accumulates hereafter from those features which annoy courts and pain gentlemen of critical tastes.
 The main feature of today's work in the council is the matter of the confr- nation of the governors nominations.

WAYSTO MEET IT That PerpIexing Demo-

 the House at Sea.
The Silver Men Straight Against
 the Administration
Mir. Reed Offers a Plan of Relief Until the Revenues Can be Made
 to Meet the Expenditures.
By the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The debate on the administration bill to authorize an issue of $l00, 1000, 900 gold bonds for the purpose of retiring legal tender notes and treasury notes, began in the house today and continued for six hours. It developed widely divergent views at the outset. The silver Democrats and Pop ulists opposed it outright. Some of the administration Democrats, like Hall of Missouri, favored substitute on lines of the Carlisle bill. while MT Reed, after speech charging the present trouble to def -ciency in the revenue introduced bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury to sell per cent coin bonds to keep up the gold reserve and certificates of in- debtedness redeemable at the pleasure of the government, to pay current ex- penses until the revenues shall equal the expenditures. An issue of gold bonds, he said, would discriminate against the coin bonds of the past.
 MT. Patterson (Democrat) of Tennes- see favored an issue of gold bonds. A debate under the fve-minute rule when the rule is open for amendment, begins omorrOw.

including the Daily Herald. MT. Edwards expressed his difference of opinion, saying that if the council in- cluded the Daily Herald it should with equal reason take in the Saturday Review and the Populist, MT. Aspin- wall suggesting the War Cry. MT. Edwards believed that precedent and reason called for but one daily paper of each political faith, as at the last ses- sion when the legislature was strongly Democratic and still recognized one Republican paper. MT. Doran's mo- tion was lost by the following vote :: Ayes, Aspinwall, Davis. Dunlap. Jones, Kemp and Doran; nays, Babbltt, Ed wards. Lake, Nugent, Packard and Scott.
 Upon motion of Mir. Edwards that portion of the resolution authorizing the territorial auditor to draw his war rant was stricken out and the objection of Mir. Doran thereby met. MT. Ed wards further moved to amend by striking out 40 cents per inch and in serting instead $750 each.
 MT. Doran moved as an amendment to the amendment that $500 each be suDSlltuIeO TUT YIoU. MI. Asplu " all did not object to giving the Democratic paper $500 If he must, although if he had his own way he would not give any of the papers a penny, but did ob- ject to the Democrats dictating as to which of tne Republican papers should have the pie, and said that if any money was to be paid the Herald might have at least $500. Mir. Doran's amendment that THE REPUBLICAN and Gazette should have $500 was then adopted by the following vote: Ayes. Aspinwall, Rabbit. Davis, Dunlap, Jones, Kemp, Lake. Nugent, Scott and Doran Messrs. Edwards and Packard expressing by their nay votes their belief in the s750 figure.
 The resolution was then ordered en- grossed and to have third reading by the following vote: Ayes, Babbitt, Davis, Edwards, Jones, Lake, Nugent, Packard, Scott and Doran nays, Aspin- wall, Dunlap and Kemp.
 A message from the house was re- ceived that it had indefinitely postponed council joint resolution No. 4, relating to the appointment of day watchman. The council then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.

HAYWARD'S CRIME.
His Tool Lays Bare the Bloody
 Plan.
A Surprise Sprung on the Defense in the Great Minneapolis
 Murder Trial.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-In the trial of Harry Hayward for the murder of Catherine Cling, the state today sprung a surprise by placing Claud A. Blixt, the self confessed tool of Hayward, on the stand. BliXt described how he witnessed note for $7OOO given by Miss Cling to Hayward. The note was offered Tn evidence and was found to be dated November 24th, nine days before the murder.
 That night in the basement Harry said to him, II am going to kill her. I did not let her have $7,000. It was only $2,G00. l am going to take her to 8 restaurant and have her show the money and tell her how careless she has been.
 "Afterward," said Blixt, ''he told me he took her around to restaurant and had her show the money and she placed it in tumbler while she ate, and someone else told her she would be killed for her money"
 Blixt said Hayward told him he was going to have Miss 'Ging's life insured and then kill her.
 The witness related the different 1 plans made by Hayward to murder the woman and how finally he forced the witness to commit the deed by threaten ing his life if he refused. The witness described fully the drive on which he shot Miss Cling, as he says, in accord ance with Hayward's commands.
