SpERRY BILL GOES
Continued From Fifth Page.

nepin delegation was divided. He denounced
the dill a plan to legaliZe real estate
scheme to aid the Twin City Rapid Transit
company. If it was defeated it would save
interest, and Furthermore the reservoir was
not demanded by the people. Judge Hicks said
he also was against the bond issue, but 1t
was now only question of making the bonds
free from doubt as to their validity. Person
ally he had no doubt the bonds were valid
Mr.. Johns said the bill was simply curative
act. Mr. Snyder went over the history of
the bonds This was simply measure to
correct a cloud raised by Boston bond eX-
pert's bubble.
Mr. Cray thought the house should go
slow. He wants to give the people time to be
heard. Mr. Cole said he had voted against
the reservoir bonds, but there was also $500, 600
of school bonds which were involved. He,
therefore would vote for this bill.
Mr.. Stockwell again took the floor and
claimed that only two men in the house
were for this bill and both were financially
interested in the Columbia Heights Land
company. He denounced the reservoir as
sink hole and opposed to the interest OF the
taxpayers.
Representative Smith said the opposition to
the bill was ridiculous. All its defeat meant
was to force the city of Minneapolis to bring
a friendly suit to test the validity Of the
bonds which would cost money; the house
could save the people of Minneapolis this
money.
Mr.. Staples Strengthened out the question in
a speech Of inquiry and the house passed it
by a vote of 69 to 10.

JUDGES SALARY BILL.
Expected to Cause Rumpus When
1t Appears Today.

Beneath the apparently modest request on
the part Of Chairman Henry Johns of the
ramsey delegation, for permission to intro
duce a report, and beneath the equally quite
dignihed refusal the part of the sneaker
for the reason that the house was under a
call, there is a little bit of comedy which
Will doubtless come out today when he is
allowed to make the report.
The PottgieSer measure IS. F. 95) to reduce
the salaries of the Ramsey county Judges
from $1,000 to s., 500 per annum. was re-
ferred to the delegation some time back and
had the effect of ripping the delegation from
stem to stern, so that when it was I'D for
reference the speaker had to state publicly
that If the Ramsey members would signify
their wishes in the matter he would bow TO
them. Some members said there was a con-
Sttuuonal question involved and wanted II
TO go to the judiciary. Others wanted 1t to
go TO the delegation, but the others said il
would die there. 1t was finally sent To the
delegation, and yesterday afternoon was CON
Sldered by the members. After a somewhat
interesting session it was agreed on the part
of all save one of the members to report il
for indefinite postponement. This one was
DR.. baltimore, who was simply keeping faith
with the author, to have it go to general
orders, If possible. baltimore made a hard
night to keep his word. but was outnumbered
So when the chairman asked permission TO
make report, the only objection came from
DR.. baltimore, and the BILL with the renort
for indefinite postponement is now in the
possession of the chief clerk who will no
doubt, submit 1t to the house today. All
Ramsey county is more or less interested in
the bill one way or another.

OMNIBUS AUTHORIZATION
Passes the House with 81 Few
Amendments.


Amendments.
The house passed the omnibus appropriation
in the morning without word of ill-feel1ng.
There were several minor amendments adopt
ed with the consent and Endorsement or the
members Of the committee on appropriations
of the house, but none else. The bill was
increased by IS 900, which had been omitted
Internationally, being the items for the main
tenance of the state experiment farms at
Crookston and Grand Rapids, $1,000 each per
year, and the bill received the full vote of
all the members present, SO to 0.
The bill had been made the special order
for the morning, and 1t was known that Du-
1uth would make a fight to increase its APP
preparation for the normal school from $500
to $4,000. A hard fight and some bad blood
was anticipated but not realized. Mr.. Lay
bourn of the St. Louis delegation, made a
dignifed and vigorous presentation of the
claims of Duluth. and largely on account Of
the high personal regard in which the Duluth
delegation has been held, the motion to
amend the bill by increasing the appropriation
for the normal school to $4,000 from So
received 30 votes as against A in opposition
to it,
The bill passed in substantially the form
in which it was published in the o b e.
The Sc, 900 item for stationery in the miscel-
laneous appropriations for 1898 and 600 for
the same purpose in 1899 were stricken out,
and the $4,000 thus saved was added to the
printing deficiency appropriation.
This was done upon the motion of Mr..
Dare, who explained that the aggregate
amount thus appropriated, $61 000 would al
most wipe out the printing deficiency, which
has been a nuisance and a scandal for several
years. The total deficiency is reported to
be about $40 600. The bill was considered in
the senate in the afternoon.
1t came in from there at precisely 6:15, and
was forthwith considered. There were but
three amendments, to wit: Section 10 of the
second subdivision so amended that in
stead OF granting the Rochester hospital for
furnishing and seating the chapel, furnish
Ing new boilers ETC., IS, 600 in 1898 and 81 600
IN 1899 the total of $4,000 is given to be
available during 1898. The second amendment
added the sum of $4,000 for heating the new
ward building at the Fergus Falls hospital
for which an appropriation of $50, 900 had al
ready been made. The change was made nee
eSsary by an inadvertance of the committee
Inc third and final change simply provides
that the board of control may join with the
state auditor in authority to transfer money
from one fund to another. The house con-

GROSS EARNINGS TAI BILL.
House ScantiIy Approves of Increas-
ing 1t One Per Cent.

The house passed the bill for a constitu-
uonal amendment providing for the increase
OF the gross earnings tax from three to four
per cent. There was little or no debate upon
the bill, Mr.. Jacobson, the author, not
even going to the point Of explaining it. He
assumed that every one understood it, and
the vote began as though it had been one
of the most inconsequential measures. Mr..
Meyers in explaining his vote, said he be-
heved the state would lose more than it gained
as there was no question the state could
not secure revenue from interstate business.
Mr.. Stockwell said he was opposed to all
forms of crooked taxation, but in view of the
1act that this was exemplification of the
the bill.
The bill passed by a narrow margin-yeas.
