special to the Commercial Advertiser
says: The war tariff bill, upon which
the Republican members of the Ways
and Means committee have been work.
ing, probably will be ready to report
TO the House on Saturday. 1t is prac-
tically complete now. The design of
the bill is to raise additional revenue to
the amount of at least $l00,000,000 a
year to meet the increased expenses
that will result from the war with
Spain. The bill will also authorize the
secretary Of the treasury to borrow
$500, ,000, 900, or as much thereof as may
be necessary for war purposes. He is
authorized to sell, at not less than par,
coupon or registered bonds of the United
States in such form as he may pre-
scribe and in denominations of $50 or
some multiple of that sum, redeemable
in coin at the pleasure of the United
states after five years from the date
of their issue and payable twenty years
from such date, and bearing interest
at per cent. These bonds will be eX-
empt from taxes exactly the same as
bonds already issued. 1t is provided
that the bonds shall be first offered as
a popular loan under such regulations,
to be prescribed by the secretary of the
treasury, as will give opportunity to the
citizens of the United States to partici-
pate in the subscription to the loan.
Another section authorizes the secre-
tary OF the treasury to borrow from
time to time, at the market rate of in
terest, not exceeding 3 per cent, such
sums as in his judgment may he neces-
sary to meet public expenditures, and
10 issue therefor certificates of in
debtedness in such form as he may
prescribe, and in denominations of $50
or some multiple of that sum. Each
certificate 50 issued is to I've payable
with accrued interest at such time not
exceeding one year from the date of
its ISSUE as the secretary of the treas
ury may prescribe. The issue of these
certificates is limited 50 that they shall
at no time exceed 800, 100000.

STATE WAR APPROPRIATION.
Minnesota Legislature Would Have
to BE Convened to Provide 1t.

In number of the states where state legis-
latures are now in session large appropria-
lions have been made to defray the expense
of carrying war, should 1t become neces-
sary to call upon the state militia.
The threatening cloud and the rumors of
war has led the legislative bodies of several
states to take this step.
Inquiry shows there Is no fund which would
be available for this purpose in Minnesota,
and probably none in any of the other states
where the legislatures meet during the even
numbered years. 1t was said at the capitol
yesterday that the only recourse for Gov.
Clough would be to call an extra session of
the legislature, as the constitution of the
state and the legislative enactments expressly
provide that no moneys shall be put aside
for any purposes whatever, except by the
state legislature.
An extract from section of article of
the constitution Of the state defines the duties
of the governor, and his power to act in times
of emergency.
The paragraph is as follows:
The governor shall communicate by mes
sage to each session of the legislature such
ton of the country as he may deem expedi-
ent. He shall be commander-in- chief of the
military and naval forces, and may call out
such forces to execute laws suppress insur-
rection and repel invasion.
The constitution goes no further than to
give the governor power to order the move
ments of the state militia, making no provf-
sions for exigencies which might arise during
the trying times Of war.
Another paragraph in the section of the
state constitution says in further defining the
powers Of the governor:
HE may on extraordinary occasions con-
vene both houses of the legislature"

WASHINGTON, April 2. = Secretary
Bliss today decided the celebrated lake
front land case, involving lands in
fractional section 10. The decision is
In forty-seVen pages, and was pre-
Jared by Judge Vandeventer, assistant
, 4 torney general of the interior depart
ment.
1t reviews the history of this land
s5om 1921 to the present time, through
'tbe various contests which have been
lad respecting it in the land depart
lent, and in the courts, including the
united States upreme court.
4 In brief. the decision holds that the
Owater line of lake Michigan constitut-
Ned the eastern boundary line of the
4section; that, by the patent to Kin
|tzie, the land to the water line was con-
Vveyed by the United States, and that,
by the conveyance of that patent, the
Il United States ceased to be riparian
proprietor, and has no right to the sub
n sequent accretions which formed the
greater portion of the lands now in
Il controversy.
M In conclusion, it is held that the
[ land in question is not public land, and
gthat it cannot be acquired by the use
Fof scrip or otherwise, under the public
Aland laws.
III The decision briefly states the pro-
lceedings had by Commissioner Lamo-
Mreaux in this case, and calls attention
Tito the fact that scrip applicants had

Clearly stated. the Northern Pacific
