GOV. CLOUGH Is HOLDING OFF ON
THE ORE TONNAGE TAX
REPEAG.
STATUS OF THE BILL QUEER.
SOME INCLINE TO THE BELIEF
THAT 1T is NOW A
LAW.
ANYWAY TODAY WILL CLEAR UP
The Doubt I'm u Way Beyond Dispute
Senator Wyman Says 1t VIII
Be Signed.

Where is the Wynlan bill to repeal
the mining tonnage tax, which was
railroaded through both senate and
Thursday.
Gov. Clough has not signed it, and
there seems to be some doubt as to
whether it is now a law or whether
the governor still has today in which
to sign it.
The bill was supposed to have gone
to the governor for signature Thurs
day night, in which event it is now a
law, but it is avowed at the office of
the chief executive that the bill did
not reach that department until Fri
day morning, in which case the veto
may yet be written today.
Senator Wyman, the author of the
bill, stated yesterday that it was his
opinion that yesterday was the last
Gay the governor had in which to veto
1T, but he manifested little anxiety as
to that, stating that he had no expec-
tation that the governor would forbid
it.
The law provides that the governor
shall have three days, exclusive of
Sundays, in which to return a bill with
the veto, and if it is not so returned
then it becomes a law forthwith. The
law also provides, however, that this
rule shall be of no force, if the body in
which the bill originates, by an ad-
jCUrnment, prevents the return of the
bill. Executive Clerk Angel contends
that the adjournment of the senate
over Saturday preventing its return
that day, gives the governor an addi-
tional day in which to consider the
bill. and that it will not become a law,
should the governor withhold his sigma
ture, until tomorrow night. The posi-
ton is one which is not shared, as
nearly as could be ascertained yester-
day, in any other corner OF the capitol,
and there seems to be no doubt that if
the bill is not vetoed by tonight, it will
be of full force and effect.

Representative Martin Takes Shot
at the Dispatch.

Representative Tom Martin the
Democratic member Of the house from
Ramsey, varied the n3nctony yester-
Gay Immediately upon the opening of
the afternoon session, by rising to
question Of personal privilege and send
ing to the speakers desk an editorial
clipped from an evening paper, which
he wished to have read to the mem
berS
The editorial is a vigorous lampoon-
ing of Jackson, Feig, Foss and others
of the Republican members. who are
pictured as usurping the Populist pre-
negative Of turning their lances on
the corporations. Tom took the mat
ter seriously and gravelyi informed his
fellow members that. the Democrats
and Populists did not subscribe to the
sentiments expressed against their
friends of the majority.
The diatribe was, he said written by
dishonest pen, and he simply wished
to go on record as protesting against
the thing. The members referred to
in the article, appeared in no way per-
tGrbed, and Representative Dahl, Of
Hennepin, replied to Mr.. Martin that he
saw nothing wrong or dishonest in the
story and felt that no great damage
had been done. Mr.. DOnnelly sarcas-
tically suggested that the filings in the
St Paul press about the legislature
was no doubt FOR the purpose of
Strengthening her claim to some legis-
lation which will be asked for later
The incident closed without accident
and the editorial was laid I-pon the

BUILDING TRADES STRIKE.
Status of Affairs in Chicago StiIl in
Doubt

CHICAGO, March San hour before the
time for beginning work this morning there
had been a serious break in the ranks Of
the Employing Plasterers association and
two hours later the disaffection had become
so pronounced that the men who were sup
posed to be locked out were not only certain
their troubles would be soon over, but the
ohcers OF their organizations were confident
ly predicting the disruption of the bosses
organization. The cause of the break was
on account of several employers having
signed an agreement presented by the strik-
ing plasterers and the hod carriers. Tonight
after joint conference between the officers
OF the Plasterers' association and the Hold
Carriers and Building Laborers' unions it
was said that there were not more than
SIX hundred men altogether who were affect
cd by the order of the employers associa-
ton which reduced wages and it was
expected that by tomorrow night the reports
would be even more favorable.
1t was admitted, however that IL those
contractors who did not communicate with
the union held out considerable number
OF men might be involved through being
drawn into sympathetic strikes. Business
Agent Riley, of the Plasterers' union, had
conference with several contractors mem
beTs Of the employing association, and was
told that, while they were going to hold
out for the present they hoped the associa-
ton would rescind it's former action; that as
soon as it was necessary for them to re-
sumo work they would employ a full force
of union men.

SPAIN LOSING.
WeyIer's Paper Currency Policy Is
Very Unpopular.


WASHINGTON, March. S.-5ena1or
Quesada. secretary of the Cuban Legal
ton, in an interview today asserts that
the revolutionists are gaining and the
Spanish retrOgressing. The latter lie
says, are becoming discouraged, and
adds that the paper currency policy
adopted by Gen. Weyler is causing
even the classes which for selfish mo-
tives pretended to sympathize with
Spain, to complain. He asserted that
SPANS finances were in a deplorable
condition, saying: 1.-THE Spanish Off
cial gazette contains a decree of thu
minister of the colonies ordering the
sale of bonds of a total value Of $780,
900 francs. These are the last of the
colonial bonds remaining at Spain's
disposal. The bonds probably will
bring in round numbers about 1000 900
francs. On the same date that they
are to be sold Spain has to pay 5000
francs interest on the loan to which
these bonds belong.
Furthermore, on the 18th of April,
May, June and July, respectively, these
are due, and Spain must take up the
promissory notes which she issued last
year on similar dates, amounting in
the aggregate to $4,000, 900 francs. On
the 1st of June she also has to pay
another 15,000,000 francs quarterly in
terest on colonial bonds. In round
numbers. Spain within the next five
months will be compelled to pay nearly
90,000,000 francs, and, besides this,
she has to keep up her army, her navy
and meet the expenses of the budget
which will undoubtedly require another
$50, 100000 francs. Counting all her re-
sources at her own figures, Spain will
have a deficit of 150000,000 francs
which will be added to a deficit already
Of 100000 francs and her 457, 00)
francs of floating debt"

The fact that the arms and surf boats were

divert the attention of the officials from some

Mgr. Del Val.

statement that an apostolic delegate was
being sent to Canada by Rome in the per-
SON Of Mgr. Rafaele Merry del Val is con
frmed by private cablegram received here
today. Mgr. Merry del VAL who Will be the
first direct representative Of the vatican in
Canada, is about IS years Of age. He is the
Oldest son of Don del Val, once Spanish am
bassador at the vatican, and is one of the
four prelates who are constantly in attend
ance on the pope. He was brought up in Eng
land, having been born while his father was
Spanish ambassador at the court of st. James.
His education was also obtained in England
where he spent nine years in univer-
sity.
Mgr. Merry del Val at present holds the
position of secretary Of the commission for
the union Of dissentient churches, of which
commission Cardinal Vaughan is a member.
He is not a bishop, and in order to give him
authority over the Canadian clergy it will
be necessary to make him both bishop and
archbishop. as was done in the case of Mgr.
Martinelh the papal delegate to the United
States.
Mgr. Merry del Val speaks English with
great fuency, which Is probably one of the
reasons for his appointment.
