The house was RECALLED with mild sensa-
ton Immediately after being called to order
in the morning. Senator Wyman had had a
hasty conference with Speaker Jones, and
he was given the privilege of the floor to
unburden his mind upon what, for the mo-
ment, a serious matter.
Senator Wyman stated that the Hastings
insane hospital bill had been stolen from his
desk In the senate. After the bill had PASSED
the house and been transferred to the senate
it went to the finance committee, of which
he Is chairman. Instead Of carrying the bill
around with him in his pocket he said he had
put 1t into his desk in the senate chamber,
and during the recess his drawer had been
rummaged, and the bill was gone when he
looked for 1t this morning.
speaker Jones announced that the law COW
cred just such an emergency, and that the
enrolled copy of the bill would be substituted
for the original.

Staples reported that the bill had turned up

ARE GETTING IN EARLY,
Demands for Space ut the Mime
apOIis Cycle Show

The demand for space at the headquarters
OF the Minneapolis Cyc-e show, which opens
In the Flour City on April 10, was livelier
yesterday than at any time since the space
was put for sale, four days ago. The Office
in The Metropolitan block was thropged all
day with dealers and others making inquiries
as TO the cost OF space for exhibits, ETC, and
fully half of the available space for exhibits
has already been disposed OF. The big build
ing on the east SIDE OF the river is rapidly
being put into shape to receive the many
foreign exhibits that will begin arriving here
during the first week in April and altogether
the outlook is promising for the greatest
wheeling exposition ever attempted west of
Chicago. .~r.se
contract has been forwarded 4 to Carl
Zemwitz, the flying man, Of San Francisco
who is to appear in Minneapolis during the
show week with the most successful flying
apparatus ever exhibited in any country
Zemwitz has startled the inhabitants OF San
Francisco during the last six months with
repeated experiments on his aerocycle, as
he prefers to call it. The professor has been
an enthusiastic wheelman ever since the old
high wheel ordinary was the popular thing.
and it was through his devotion TO the wheel
that he conceived the idea of utilizing the
chain and pedal gear to work set of alumni
mum wings a flying machine. The aero
cycle that will be exhibited here by Zemwitz
is an affair with light wings of aluminium
the wings being propelled by means of pedals
worked in the ordinary bicycle. With this
machine ZemwitZ claims to be able to do
anything that a bird can do He says: Il
the dawn; | can like a lark; dip and
dive like a bat at shutdown, or poise myself
in midair, like a chickenhawk. In short my
machine is the only perfect aerial navigator
yet invented"
Interest is increasing every day in the good
roads exhibit, which will be one of the most
complete and practical Illustrations of the
science of bodybuilding ever seen in the
Northwest. The management has secured
some Of the best known authorities ON road
construction in the country to superintend
the work in this department, and deliver lee
lures on the best methods to be followed in
different surfaces, with illustrations of real
road building with actual material. No bet
ter plan for showing practical road building
methods could be devised than this one.
OF course the large assortment of horseless
carriages to be sent here by all the biggest
manufacturers in the country is going to add
interest to the show. The project for a race
between the different types of horseless We
hicles to be exhibited has at last assumed
definite form, and the event promises to be
one Of the hottest ever brought off over a
Minnesota road. Each carriage is to be
manned by a full complement of passengers,
and the suggestion has been made that each
of the Twin City newspapers should fly a
banner from one of the vehicles entered. For
all information in connection with the show
inquiries should be addressed to J. A. Wir-
tensohn, Metropolitan block, Minneapolis.

''Commy" insists that the decision Of the
Western league board in the matter is final
and that Vanderbeck has no hope Of satisfac-

The Comanche is well satisfied with the

here late enough to avoid the spring rains.

tee of the whole the Greer travelling library
bill, introduced in the house by Representa-
tive Staples as house bill which was re-
Gently killed, will be taken UP under motion
to take from the table made yesterday by
Mr.. Staples. The senate measure, which is
S. F. 50, was indefinitely postponed, but the
vote later was considered. and the matter
lad upon the table. Mr.. Staples explained
that he was willing to have any amendments
made to it. in fact, that he would permit the
bill to be put before the house In It's original
form.
Mr.. Coe submitted several amendments to
his labor bill introduced some days ago to
guard workinmen against the provisions Of
the Johns antitrust BILL and asked that they
be added to and printed with the bill, but
the speaker ruled that even under suspension
of the rules, no bill which was not before the
house could be amended, so Mr.. Coe will
have to have his bill taken up by the house.
He explained that the amendments were un-
important but necessary.
Frank Hoskins, the Populist editor and pol
itition who was sent to the Fergus Falls in
sane asylum, and fought his way out by
habeas corpus proceedings. presented a petit
tion asking for the expunging of all Illegal
and damaging records at the asylum and
elsewhere against him, and the payment Of
costs and expenses and losses incurred by
his Imprisonment and So, 900 for damages to
his business good name and reputation.
A large number Of petitions against the
Douglas and similar anti-railroad bills, were
read, coming from Otter Tail, Faribault,
Stearns. Rice. Wabasha and other counties.

rules. H. F. 700 introduced by Mr.. Ander-
son. to repeal special law Of 1891, which

sideratfOn Last NIGHT

stderatfOn Last Night.
In burst Of energy the house decided to
mold an evening session and tackle the very
lengthy general orders.
Tne hrst measure which oceasioned anv
extended discussion was Representative
Sehmidt's bill (H F. 70S). which is to re-
qu1re the county auditor of St. Louis county
to furnish persons with certificates of deHn-
quent taxes. The author, when the discus
sion developed some opposition pathetieally
urged that the st. Louis county people be
aided in getting out Of the position In which
they were, namely, unable to secure certif-
Gates from their county auditor who after
being indicted by the grand Jury for retain
ing the money thus received refuses to issue
statements of delinquent taxation.
1t appears that the county auditor Odin
Halden, who was present, stands on an
opinion of the attorney general that he is
not obliged to furnish the certificates re-
ferFed to, and that If he does 1t is a matter
between the auditor personally and those who
seek such information.
There was the usual opposition on the part
Of members who know the activity of tax
title sharks who always wished the certif-
Gates under the seal in place of a simple
statement. 1t was plain that no headway
could be made. and upon the motion Of the
st. Louis member the bill was referred to a.
special committee consisting of Messrs
Schmidt, Staples and Hicks.
The following measures were recommended
for passage:
II. F. At CIieks)-To promote forestry.
Il. F. Is MISUNDERSTANDING to taxes and
reclamation.
H. F. 47S (Schmidt-Relating to cogni-
zances.
$. F. les (Pottgieser)-ReIating to munich
pal courts.

surance.
S. F. lot (Stevens)-Relating to corpora
lions.

suranee companies
S. F. 1853 (Sperry)-Relating to uses and
trusts.

Special Laws 1891. To pass.
H F. $50 Douglas)-Proposing an amend
ment to the constitution.

HOUSE PASSES SNYDER's BILL TO
INCREASE THE UNIVERSITY
LEVY.
OPPOSED By Mr., DoNNELLY,
DISLIKED THE IDEA OF HELPING
ANY INSTITUTION by SPECIAL
TAXATION.
CAPITOL BILL GOES THROUGH
The Provision for the $50 Limit ON
the Certificates the Only Point
Questioned.

The Snyder bill to increase the tax
levy for the support Of the university
from .15 Of a mill to .23 of a mill passed
the house yesterday. The bill had been
fought as long as the opposition had
full breath or leg to stand on in
committee of the whole, but there was
every evidence that the sentiment was
growing stronger as the debate pro-
crossed. So when the bill came up on
the calendar only one voice was raised
in opposition. That was the voice of
Mr.. Donnelly. He said he did not ex-
pect to defeat the measure, nor did he
wish to be understood as opposing the
university; he was proud of It's success,
and he had the highest regard for the
president of the univel sity but he did
not like the idea of supplying revenue
for any institution by special taxation
The university should stand upon the
same basis as any other Of the state
institutions. This was the only speech
in opposition, and the bill passed by a
vote of IS to 36.

proposition not made manifest on the
face of a BILL Mr.. Hartshorn wished
to act as one of the pallbearefs and
said the bill was bad one, in that it
provided for three constables and three
marshals or more than the constitution
allowed. Other changes were more
radical than the people were prepared
for.
Mr.. Donneffy repeated his objection.
that the new law was both bad and
unnecessary, for the reason that good
men could be reelected for three years
or more, while one year was enough
for officers who were not efficient. II
the friends Of the bill were encouraged
by its reaching the calendar, their
hopes were dashed. for the bill got
but Is votes, against Sc votes in the
negative.
Fl. F. 254, by Mr.. Freslee. an tnno-
cent looking measure providing that
counties might, by action of their COM
missioners, set aside land for public
parks, bobbed UP and for a brief mo-
ment occupied the attention of the
house. Mr.. Dunn by agreement with
the author amended the bill by max
ing the bill apply to counties of less
than 10000. Whereupon Mr.. Donnelly
lit upon the last paragraph providing
that nothing in the bill should be con-
strued as giving the commissioners
power to move the county seat. The
sage characterized this as meaningless,
and of kind. if left in, to reflect stupi-
dity on the house. The last clause
might quite as we'll, he thought, be
said not to allow the removal Of the
state capitol. Mr.. Basford thought
the bill should be indefinitely postponed
and the house concurred, as the vote
shows-ayes %, nays IS.
Representative Fred Lloyd and his
horseshoers' bill were let down to an
easy death yesterday without any un-
necessary amount of obsequieS. The
measure Oh. F. 6D came up on the
calendar having successfully run the
gauntlet of the committees on general
legislation and labor, and labor legis-
lation and the committee of the whole.
There was no discussion. The author
did not even rise to explain his bill.
Judge Hicks offered an unimportant
amendment which was adopted AS
If by taeit understanding, the house
was ready to apply the torch, and the
roll showed a majority of negatives,
which led the author to ask for call
of the absentees. This even was in
effective, as the speaker announced the
bill was lost, there being yeas A. nays
81. Mr.. Lloyd changed his vote to no
for purposes Of reconsideration.

raj orders, and that the bill as so amended

eral orders, and that the bill as so amended
do pass
Mr. Lovejoy moved the adoption Of
the majority report and Mr. Larson
moved to amend by substituting the
minority report. Mr.. Jacobson moved
as substitute, that the two reports
be printed and the bill go on general
| orders for discussion. There followed
a debate, not upon the merits of the
bill, but simply upon the proposition to
put off the debate until the measure
could come up in the regular way. The
motion to place the bill upon general
orders prevailed by narrow margin
SIS to SO.
Mr.. Staples spoke in favor Of fuller
discussion. He said he would like to
hear the bill fully explained before he
is called to vote.
MIR. Littleton said the bill had been
before two committees, had been dis
cussed for hours in the house, and he
was ready to vote it up or down At
first he was favorable to the bill, but
now he should oppose It,
Mr. Fetg said he wanted to submit
some amendments, and for that reason
he wanted 1t to so on general orders.
Mr.. Belden said the country people
believed that the railroads were charg-
ing exorbitant rates; he did not know
how correct this belief might be, he had
heard one side and he wanted to hear
a full discussion, so he urged the far
mers to vote to put the bill on general
| orders.
Mr.. Douglas also spoke In favor Of
a fuller hearing on the bill which

in the course of many years
treated a very large number of
patients suffering with the disease,

there was no call for the bill Senator
Iltis said if the bill had been passed
twenty years ago. it would have saved
the state millions of dollars. 1t was a
good field. Honest men had to pay the
cost of all the incendiarY fires. The
$4,000 expense attached was a bagatelle
beside the saving in insurance that
would be effected. The bill was finally
! referred to the author and Senators
Roverud and Sperry.
Senator Wyman offered an amend
ment to the Gettysburg monument
junket bill so as to take only those
soldiers who had enlisted for three
years before the battle, thus leaving
out the three months men who did not
re-enlist in the summer of 1861. An
other amendment provided that the
adjutant general should have charge
of the disbursement Of the appropria-
ton
Senator Stevens wanted the bill fixed
so as to include every soldier of the
First regiment who participated in the
battle. The amendments were added
by unanimous consent.
The capitol bill was favorably report
ed by the financial committee.
The Judiciary committee recommend
ed favOrably Senator Potter's bill re-
imbursing the merchants salvage corps
of Minneapolis.
The finance committee spent the noon
hour discussing Senator Greer's Sap
Jose scale bill. The appropriation was
cut from $500 to $500 and the bill was
then sent back without reeommenda-
ton.
The public hearing Of the Judiciary
committee In relation to the Whitney
bill was postponed until Monday. The
bill provides that the supreme court
shall give decisions to the legislature
when required to construe existing
laws,
A bill to amend section 2806 Of the
statutes Of 1894, introduced by Senator
Potter. provides that the amount of
capital stock shall be fixed by the
stockholders and divided into shares of
not less than $40 and not more than $100
and that the capital stock and number
of shares may be increased at any
special meeting held for that purpose.
