n The senate finance committee has
Topped off So, 200 from the bill presented
for the expenses of the Day-Dunn con-
test. The saving is chiefly on the at
torneys' fees, each side being allowed
$500 for attorneys instead of 81, 500. As
pruned the bill is 81, 346.25. -.
A large portion of the day in the
house yesterday was devoted to con-
sidering the new banking bill It en-
tirely revises the present law relative
to state banks, and is designed to sur
round them with more safeguards in
the interest of the public. The changes
are very radical. Late in the after
noon the bill was passed by SO toa.

revive the bill extending the terms of
county auditors to four years. A bill
was introduced making the salaries of
county auditors and treasurers based
in the various counties.

st. Paul, March 26.-As was ex.
pected the senate, yesterday, passed
the bill appropriating $4,000 to buy
the site at Hastings for fourth insane
asylum. Senators Durham, Culkin
and Howard filed formal protest to
be spread on the journal, but the bill
received 3s yeas to Is nays. A strong
effort was made to increase the attor-
neys' fees in the Day-D Dunn election
contest. The finance committee had
agreed to make it $500 for each side.
An effort was made to increase it to
81, 600 and that failing to make it $780,
This also failed and the amount as re-
ported stood.
The triune city charter bill, gotten
up especially for Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Duluth was introduced in both
houses, and Judging from the objec-
tons made to gong to the expense of
printing it, it has but few friends. AS
no one seems to want it, it seems to be
a wonder that it was ever born.
The senate, by ~ yeas to 20 nays, de-
feated the bill for the organization of
Cass and Beltrami counties. The bill
levying a special tax on department
stores was discussed at great length in
the senate yesterday afternoon and
every available foot of space was occu-
pied, a large number of ladies being
present. At the end of long debate
the bill was referred back to the spe-
cial committee to be amended. The
amendments proposed materially
change the bill.
p The most important contention in
the house was the bill allowing FIVE
sixths of a iury-1O mcn-to render a
verdict in civil cases. Messrs. Don
nelly and Douglas led the debate for
the bill and Messrs Abbott and Jacob
son were leaders of the opposition.
The bill passed by &c to SO.
The house passed bill yesterday,
under suspension of the rules, ordering
the American flag to be displayed at
election booths on election day.
st. Paul, March 27.-The end is not
yet. Anoka has been holding a card
up her sieve for emergencies. Yester-
day it was played when Gov. Clough
sent a message to the house vetoing
the bill appropriating SIS, 900 to buy a
site at Hastings for the fourth insane
asylum. The coming Of the message
had been we'll preserved secret, >and
its reading created great surprise in
the house and an excitement which
spread throughout the capitol. The
governor based his objections on two
points: First. considerations of public
policy; and, second, his ''desire to main
tain unimpaired and unimpeached the
honor and the reputation for good faith
and fair dealing of our state" From
these premises he argued that the com
mission to select the site was duly au-
thorized by law, and its acts were

had purchased the Anoka site and the
citizens of Anoka had voluntarily con-
tributed $4,000 to aid in that pur-
chase. The action of the commission
was approved by the district court of
Ramsey county and this decision was
affirmed by the supreme court. The
Legislature investigated and found
nothing improper or illegal had been
done by the commission. The bill
purchasing the Hastings site would
annul the work of the commission and
besides, as Anoka has already received
