st. Paul, JAM 30.-The ghost of Frank
Days vote on the Anderson bill still
walks. The result is that bill was
introduced in the senate yesterday,
identical with the Anderson bill. This
is done for fear that the supreme court
will decide that if the vacation OF
Frank Days seat dated Jan. 81, 1895,
and the Anderson bill was passed by
his vote at q later date, the act is not
legal. The seating of Dunn seems to
have opened q Pandora box of evils
Senator Keller had two innings yes
terday. He introduced bill compell-
ing saloons to display red light and
put out the sign '..Dangerous' as con-
spicuously as the sign ''saloon." After
whole lot of fun, the rules were sus-
pended to act upon the bill, and it was
defeated. Keller's second inning was
over the appointment of Bundy, of o.
ter Tail county, as member of the state
board of equalization. Senator Cole
called up the appointment for confirm
alton, but Keller succeeded in having
the matter put over until next week.
Later in the day Gov. Clough with
drew the name entirely.
The bill reducing fees for naturaliza-
ton papers from two dollars to one
dollar was passed by, the senate. The
original effort was to reduce the fee to
fifty cents, but the reduction to one.
dollar was a compromise measure
which the clerks of the courts assented
to. In view of the thousands who will
be disfranchised, unless they take out
their second papers. owing to the new
constitutional amendment, the clerks
will do thriving business even at the
reduced rate. The house bill exempt
ing one typewriter and one sewing ma
chine from execution was passed, and
now only awaits the governors sigma
ture to become law. ->f1@~.@ ,..--.s
In the house, Mr.. Underleak, got in a
drive at Mr.. Donnelly in the shape Of a;
resolution forbidding the introduction
of any subject in the form of resolu-
ton which could be covered by bill.
He said TOO much time had been wasted
discussing resolutions for mere bun
combe, referring of course to the de-
bate on the arbitration treaty resolu-
tion which occupied the entire day
Thursday.
The bill making a governor or gov
ernor-elect ineligible for election to the
U. s. senate during the time for which
he was chosen governor, received it's
quietus in the house Yesterday. Repre-
sentatives Jacobson and Donnelly unit
ing with sufficient force to kill it very
dead. A large mum beroof bills were
introduced but they were chiefly for
bridges and Of a local character. Mr..
Donnelly offered one pertinent to the
hard times. It requires every bank,
during business hours, to keep posted
in its public counting room, a state
ment of the condition of the bank
the previous day and also provides
that notes over six months old shall
not be regarded as assets. Such a
measure would wipe out great many
assets in this state.
The senate took another recess until
Tuesday but the house was more in
dustrious and will be in session today.
St. Paul, Feb. 1.-The mutterings of
the coming storm relative to the loca-
ton of the fourth insane asylum at
Anoka were heard in the house on Sat-
urday. The governor sent in the ma
jority and minority reports of the COM
mission appointed to select the site.
The reports were ordered printed for
future consideration, but not until
there had been good deal of debate,
during which Mr.. Donnelly, of Hast
ings, and Mr.. Staples, also of Dakota
county, had condemned the action of
the commission in changing the loca-
tion from Hastings after having once
given that point the preference. There
is evidently row in prospect.
The resolution calling upon the bank
ing committee to Investigate the bank
examiner, and expressing the opinion
that his Office should be abolished. was
overwhelmingly defeated, and, in the
stead, Mr.. Feig offered one raising q
special committee of five to investigate
the causes which have led up to the
recent failures Of state banks and re-
port what legislation is needed to pre-
vent future failures.
Another evidence that the constitu-
tional amendment forbidding special
legislation is nugatory was furnished
