Where there is smoke, there is al

ceedings are not always those which
are marked by the greatest noise. The
Minnesota senate yesterday repealed
the struck jury law, practically, III
less than a minute, and then spent
nearly an hour discussing whether or
not bicycle races should be prohibited
on Memorial day.

faVorably on Senator Reishus' bill to
repeal the 1895 law for struck juries,
ana adversely on the Potter bill, which
merely proposed to amend the law.
The reports We're adopted in committee
Of the whole in both cases almost
unanimously, and there seems little
doubt that the Reishus bill will pass
the senate, if the vote of yesterday is
any criterion.

CHECK FOR BARRIos.

telegraphs that a. revolution has broken
out in Guatemala.
The dispatch seems to indicate that
President Barrios, of Guatemala, has
received a check from which his ambi-
ton may suffer. At the time Of the
formation Of the Greater Republic Of
Central America, President Barrios
was credited with opposing the scheme
as a distinct menace to the stability
of his administration, and as q strong
impeachment to the realization Of his de-
sire to be the forInost leader in Cen
trail American politics. 1t may be that
the worst fear of Barrios have proved
well grounded, and he Is now suffering
from the Vaccinations of designing
neighbors.

COULD NOT AGREE.
Senate and House to- Try ReappOr-
ticnment Separately

The eappOrtionment fight between
the two branches Of the Legislature
has evidently gone beyond an AMIGA
bic settlement, at least until each house
has tried its steel with the practical
and mathematical problem.
The conference committee, appointed
to consider the representation each
house should have on the final reap
pOrtiOnment committee, held three
meetings yesterday, each following the
first warmer than it's predecessor, and
the upshot of it all was that the forces
despaired of an agreement, and each
branch of 1t will so report to it's mas
ter today.
The senate members were firm in
their position that the senate should
have equal representation with the
house. The house members were equal
~ obdurate, and pointed to every leg
islative session, except that of 1852,
which could not be found, and that
was away back in territorial days, to
show that the senate had never been
given equal representation with the
house Of representatives on such a
committee, and the proportion had US
ually been two to one in favor Of the
larger house. Once, in 1876, it ap-
preached as closely as seven to ten.
but never nearer to an equality than
that.
The senate committee on normal
schools will go to Winona Monday to

gion Of Minnesota, who has already

bills touching on the matter Of liens

The first proposes an amendment to

RELEASED THE WIFE.
Judge Otis Decision in the Warning
Seeger Salt.

SeeSer Salt.
Judge Otis filed findings yesterday in
the case Of Louise Warning against Dor
othy Seeger ordering judgment for the
defendant. The facts as found by the
court are as follows:
That a certain note and mortgage
amounting to $3.50 were assigned in
January, 1894, to the plaintiff. The
mortgage, which was executed by Mel
vile B. Henderson and wife to the
Nickel Savings bank, covered lots 13,
IA, % and "a in block 1 of Sterile, Nc
Conville and Seeger's addition to st.
Paul.
The court further finds that in April,
1892, said Melville B. Henderson and
to James Starkey, the latter
assuming the payment of the
mortgage. Subsequently and dur
ing the same year, 1894, the said James
f. Starkey and wife executed a war
ranty deed conveying the mortgaged
premises. The deed was made by
Starkey at the instance Of Robert
Seeger, who requested that the name
of his wife Dorothy Seeger, be written
in the deed as grantee. The deed con-
tanned a clause reciting that the
grantee assumed the payment of the
note and mortgage.
The court further finds that the deed
was delivered by the grantors to Rob-
ert Seeger, but was never delivered by
him to the defendant. his wife, that
the deed was made without her knowl-
edge or consent, and that she never
knew anything whatever about the
transaction until the plaintiff brought
suit against her and that she never
ratified the action OF Robert Seeger in
taking said deed, nor has she ever seen
the deed or had it in her possession.
As conclusions of law the court finds
that the plaintiff is not entitled to re-
cover and that the defendant is en-
titled to judgment, dismissing the ac-
ton upon the merits.

QUARTERS TOO SMALL.
Array Engineers VIII Shortly Move
I'D Town.


The army building, on Robert street, is
altogether too small for the many depart
ments quartered therein. This fact has been
recognized by the war department for SOME
time and now word has been received from
Washington Of an order Greeting Capt. F.
V. Abbot, chief of engineers, to find other
quarters for the engineering department and
appropriating a fund to pay the necessary
rent.
The engineering department is at present
quartered on the fourth floor of the build
ing, occupying a suite of four small rooms,
and these accommodations have been so
cramped that the work could not be carried
on to advantage. Then, by the first OF the
year, as soon as work is fairy commenced
on the Meeker island dam improvement, it
will be necessary to add materially to the
engineering force, and more room is impera-
tive.
It Is understood that several locations for
the office are under consideration, among
them, apartments in the Endicott block and
in the First National Bank building.

The taxable valuation in 1896 fell
$77,0OO,000 from that of 1895, or more
than II per cent. Here is. a combined
falling off of valuation and tax rare.
The collections for the revenue fund
from taxes during the fiscal year Of
1896 amounted to 81, 233, 1858, and dur
ing the fiscal year 1897, $S40, 4S4.GO, a
falling off Of nearly 100000. In the
same years the railroad taxes fell off
more than $65, 600.
We find on the other hand that the
amount necessary for the support of
state institutions is nearly $4,000 more
in the year 1896 than it was in the year
1904 steady increase. We find that
$3.50, 900 of the funding bonds have been
redeemed; that $4,000 Of the reform
school loan has been paid; that $4,000
of the revenue loan has been paid;
that the amount for the new capitol
not added to the rate of the tax levy,
but taken out Of the revenue fund, at
q rate on the taxable valuation fixed
by law-takes about $125,000 a year
There should also be included $4,000
transferred from the revenue to gen.
eral university fund, for deficiencies in
the support Of the state university.
To follow the revenue fund from Aug.
1, 1894 81 ,098, 461.19, to Aug. 1, 1897, $514,-
1885, we find an almost gradual
diminution. On Dec. 1 of last year
the fund had but S16S,797 therein-a
movement, so to speak, of 100000 from
the balance on the first day of August
next preceding. This year, to Dec. l,
it has moved but $568,000 from the bal
ance at the years beginning. Since
the June settlement, the additions to
the revenue fund from taxes have been
insignificant. The November settle
ment, current, never amounts to much.
The railroads and insurance companies
will not begin to pay their taxes till
after the first of January is passed. In
fact, at this time in every year the rev.
enue fund is lowest. 1t is $220,000 less
than it was last year, but our balance
to start with was $45000O less. In a
word, the valuation of taxable prop
erty and the rate applied to it have
been going down, the expenses of state
government and amount necessary for
the maintenance Of state institutions
have, naturally, increased, and the ex-
traordinary disbursements, referred to
above, added to all, answers the ques-
ticn, What has so depleted the rev.
enue fund?
