both HOUSES REPEAL THE ONE
CENT TONNAGE TAX ON
ORE.
SPENCER FOUGHT 1T HARD
BUT THE SENATE PASSED 1T OVER
HIS BEST OPPOSE
TION.
HOUSE LET 1T SLIP THROUGH.
without Any Comment, Almost, and
by Vote That Was Conclusive
New Tax Proposed.

After ShreWdly maneuvering for sew
eraI days, the senators who wanted to
repeal the mining tonnage tax, as sug-
gested by State Auditor Dunn in his
annual report, got it through yester-
day, in a somewhat summary manner,
it is true. but none the less of legality
and forcefulness.
Senator Spencer. of Duluth, who had
evidently been entirely unprepared for
the onslaught, was caught between the
wind and the water and thrown high
and dry on the beach.
In vain he pleaded, piteously, almost
tearfully for senatorial courtesy; anon
he denounced his opponents for lin
decency" and "discourtesy," and the
like epithets; but it was in vain.
He was beaten ere he started. and
he knew it,
The bill, which was introduced only
yesterday morning by Senator Wyman,
is very short. 1t may be said to consist
OF but a single sentence repeating a
law expressly referred to, although it
is prefaced by pair Of whereases re-
ferring to the constitutional provision
that taxes shall be equitably dis
tributed, and to the attorney generals
opinion that the old law was uncon-
stitutional.
When the bill had been read the first
time, the fight was on.
Senator Wyman asked for call of
the senate and then moved that the
rules be suspended and his bill placed
on its final passage. He read the figures
showing what had been paid in since
the law Of 1881 was passed, and also
read the opinion of the attorney gen
eTal to the effect that the law was un-
constitutional He also said that the
state auditor and treasurer had refused
to accept tax payments offered there
under, insisting that the mine owners
should pay a valuation tax the same
as other property.
Senator Spencer thought that 1t was
discourteOus and undermined in the
senator from Hennepin to endeavor
to secure the passage of so important
bill in such a snapshot manner. He
objected to the suspension
Senator Thompson said it was not
snapshot. 1t had been before the peo-
pie for six months; it had been before
the senate ever since the report of the
auditor had been received The law
was not only clearly unfair taxation
compared with what other property
was paying, but it had been declared
unconstitutional and should be wiped
off the statute books.
Senator Greer said that it was I'M
usual to take such hasty action on this
bill, as had characterized the pass
age Of the constitutional amendments
in the closing hours Of the last session.
He wanted the bill to go to the Judi
ciary committee to determine it's legal
standing. The amounts paid by these
mines, he said, could be shown to be
just as great in proportion as the ta,,
on the lumber elevator and milling
companies in Minneapolis. The senate

REEDS LAST WORDS.
His Gratitude Expressed to the
Members of All Parties


WASHINGTON, March 4.-The house was
1t adjourned without day The closing hours
were uneventful. The statesmen had worked
all night to get the sundry civil Indian and
agricultural bills to the president only to
nave them pocket vetoed, while the general
deficiency failed of passage because the house
refused to subscribe to the haif-million of
Bowman claims which the senate inEisted
upon. The only feature of the closing throb
OF life was the enthusiastic reception ac-
corded Speaker Reed and the unanimous
standing vote of thanks rendered him.
The confusion on the floor and in the gall
leries was so great toward the Closing hours
that the speaker was with difficulty able 10
MAINTAIN order. There were many express
Sions of regret at parting.
With hardly dissenting voice. the house
stood by the appropriations committee on
the deficiency bill. Thus the last hope of
this bill was gone The turbulence ceased
and the expiring moments of the house were
calm and serene.
As Speaker Reed mounted the rostrum the
members rose and cheered valiantly. He &C
knowledged the warm reception and then
delivered his parting address, as follows:
Gentlemen of the House of Representa-
tfves: Two years ago you were summoned
to your share Of a legislative work which
could not be otherwise than disagreeable
disappointing and unsatisfactory, for it in
yolved dismal struggle to adapt a narrow
ing income to the growing wants of great
nation growing to be still greater. You were
most of you untried in your vocation
How others have performed their share of the
task 1t is not for US to say. But it is proper
for me to say that your share Of the divided
duty has been performed with so much readi-
ness and good sense that even among the
aspirations of a heated campaign there was
no room for any attack upon the house of
representatives.
81 am sincerely grateful for the kind ex-
preston of your confidence and esteem; but
l am still more grateful for the daily kind
ness and good will on the part of every
OF you then gentlemen of both parties
offer the sincere expression of the highest
personal regard
With whack of the gavel at 1855 he then
declared the house adjourned without day.
and the members hurried over to the senate
to participate in the ceremonies there.

MAGGIE'S HEAD

Train Was Saved.

A locomotive engineer should be one
of the most truthful of men. That's
why this little story of a Southern ell
gineer should be believed implicitly,
says the Washington Star.

TWO SESSIONS MERGED.
Senate Day n Mixture of the New and
the Old.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The senate Of the
f1fty-ffth congress met today in extra session,
with Vice President Hobart presiding in pur-
suance to a call of the retiring president.
The closing of the Old as well as the open
ing Of the new were merged into the brill
liant spectacle marking the advent Of the
Inauguration ceremony so that formal pro-
ceedings were confined largely to the vale
dictory of the retiring vice president. Mr..
Stevenson, the opening address of the new
vice president, Mr.. Hobart. and the swearing
into Office of the new senator's.
The early hours of the day were given to
examining appropriation bills. One the gen
eral deficiency, failed in conference, and
three, the agricultural sundry civil and In
dian failed of executive approval
Promptly at IL o'clock Mr.. Stevenson de-
clared the senate of the fifty-fourth congress
adjourned without delay and the work Of the
new senate was at once taken up. The sena-
tors then withdrew to the east front of the
capitol to participate in the inaugural cere-
mony. On returning to the chamber a reso-
luton was adopted for daily sessions at IL
o'clock beginning tomorrow, and the senate
then adjourned.

BISMARCK. N. D., March 4-The
most exciting session Of the two houses
in the entire session was held today,
the contention being over the passage
of the bill to amend the penalty clause
OF the prohibition law by changing
from fine and Imprisonment to fine
or imprisonment" The bill was de-
feated yesterday by close vote, and
the speaker refused to grant a roll
call. An appeal was taken and he was
sustained. Today the vote to sustain
was reconsidered, the appeal carried
and on roll call the bill was passed
by a vote of SO to 49, three members
changing their votes. The bill could
not be sent to. the senate, under the
mouse rules, but the rule was abro-
gated and the matter went to the SEN
ate, where a hot fight was had on par
l1amentary grounds, the matter being
first refused and afterward received
read first and second times, referred
and reported ON. 1t will pass tomor-
row. The action is distinct triumph
for the Observation-Disclosures Debates
on the matter were many and acri-
moniOus, and, when Mr.. Mcpherson,
Populist member from Barnes county,
changed his vote, Colby, Of Cass, chal-
lenged his vote, saying that McPher-
son had told him the day before that
he had been offered $500 to vote for the
bill and had refused and, when Nc
Pherson came in the next day and
voted for the bill, It was fair to pre-
sumo he had Personal interest in
the bill. A. c. Rankin Prohibition ad-
vocate, was called ofs1the floor of thu
