Washington, Jan. 29.-The open SEES
sion of the senate was comparatively

ture Of statement of. the attitude Of

the bill. Mr.. Stewart, although criti-
cising the commission as futile, stated
that he would not oppose the measure.
The Nicaragua canal bill and the bank.

house asking the state treasurer how
much money there is in the state treas
ury, and where 1t is, and to report not
later than Monday. When the Ward
Richards contest came up on special
order in the house Guinan, Dem, made
q minority report favoring Ward and
bitterly condemning Burleigh county
officials. In conclusion the minority
report says regarding the election in
the Second and Fourth wards of the
city Of Bismarck: 1--WE further report
and find that the whole election prop
er and matters pertaining to the same
in these precincts were impregnated
with frauds of the grOssest kind, even
to the extent of criminality, and we
believe that the evidence can and does
force but one conclusion, viz: That the
ballot boxes in said precincts were
deliberately robbed Of the ballots cast
by the electors therein and others sub
stituted in their places, and we regret
the necessity Of saying the evidence
strongly tends to implicate certain Of
ficers of Burleigh county as parties to
such wrong. The evidence showed a
number of other gross Irregularities,
such as the acting of disqualified per-
sons as Judges of election, under pro-
test; the refusal to allow q secret bal
lot and failure to count for contestant
ballots that were cast for him, but suf-
.ficient has been shown herein to prove
that w. o. Ward was elected" A hot
debate occurred on the motion to sub
stitute the minority for the majority
report, participated in by Cryan, Cole,
Hawk and Guinan. Mcpherson, Pop,
said there was no question of rotten
ness in Bismarck, and was in favor Of
having the evidence presented to the
house. The majority report was
adopted and Richards retains his seat.
A committee was appointed in the
house to investigate what employees
were doing to earn their salaries and
the number employed.
House bills introduced: Hawk, to
make playing foot ball misdemeanor;
Baker, providing for increasing the
number of county commissioners in
certain counties; Francis, providing for
defendants peremptory challenges in
criminal cases; Francis, taxing insur-
ance companies 9 IL per cent on gross
premiums. -
Nothing but routine work in the SEN
ate. Bills introduced: Mc(iiiiivray, ap-
propriating $4,000 to Stark county for
expenses in prosecuting criminal cases
arising in unorganized counties; Han
ma, providing for the investment of
school funds; Little. amending game
laws. Senate bills passed: Providing
for appointment Of county assessors;
apprOpriatinE $500 for expenses state
board of health.
