The warships claimed the attention
of the crowd before the arrival of the

Every year we hear Of farmers plow-

Anybody who pretends to tell any

farmers will SOW spring wheat. The
damage reported is largely on late
sown wheat. This is an extra acreage

SENATE.
St. Paul, March 15.-AS the legisla-
tive session draws near its close, there
is the usual accumulation Of business
and considerable anxiety among the
members and some Of their constitu-
ents as to whether certain measures
will get through.
The Senate is fairly welEup with its
business. With the exception OF. the
Thursday adjournment. to visit Still
water the body has held I'll day SEES.
sions up to Saturday noon. Each day
the calendar has been disposed of, and
often the list Of general orders.
The disposition already mentioned
to postpone the consideration of i'm
portant bills still continues, but some
measures have been passed the last
week. The OZmun civil service bill
has passed the senate, and IL the
house does likewise this law should
have considerable influence over the
character Of city employees for the
| next two years, because civil service
will never be dropped after it once has
been tried. T"yn . 20
The Wyman primary. election bill
also passed last week. It amends the
manner Of selecting officers at eau
cuses and provides that all county
| conventions shall be held on the same
day for the selection of delegates to
| the state convention. Those who have
| paid attention to such matters claim
| that these amendments to the law are
great Improvement, especially so far
as the cities are concerned.
Senator Stebbins' bill to create a
state fire marshall met with consider
| BILE opposition, and, while it is now in
the hands of committee, does not
seem to have any great prospect of
passage.
| THE HOUSE.
The Douglass rate bill is on general
orders, and will be debated in the
house some day this week. 1t was car
ried on general orders in spite of the
| recommendation for indefinite post
| ponement by the railroad committee.
The bill has no chance of becoming a
law however, at this session. This is
conceded by its friends, and yet there
may be such material notifications
in the measure that it might be
passed in the house. only to be killed
in the senate.
During the week the house passed
the bill to increase the tax levy for
the support Of the Univer sity, SO that
the annual taxes, aside from the many
other sources of revenue, will be ap.
