PAROLE BILL FAILED
Scheme to Free the YOungerS
Lacked Four Votes on FIJI
nal Passage.
COUNTY OPTION is DEFEATED
Jacobson's Fight for His Tenn
peranCe Measure Proves
Unavailing.

ST. PAUL. March 23.-Much to Sena-
tor Wilson's disappointment the senate
practically reversed itself on the
Younger question when the parole bill
came ND on the calendar. The bill was
recommended for passage when on gen.
eral orders. but since then Senator
Stockton of Rice county has continued
his active opposition to it, and the bill
was defeated by a vote of 20 for and 50
against. But Senator Wilson voted no
so as to be able to make motion for
the reconsideration of the vote. When
this action is taken it will be to strike
out the clause allowing the parole Inn
its to extend beyond the boundary or
the state, and he hopes in this way to
get the votes of Senators Thompson,
Snyder and others.
Hospital Fight Continued.
The attendance at the afternoon ses-
sion of the senate was very slim and an
attempt was made to adjourn. The
motion was beaten and the insane hos
pital bills taken up. Senator Thomp-
son opened the debate in favor OF the
county system. He was followed by
Senator johnson of Nicollet and Sena-
tor Mccarthy of Itasca, the latter for
and the former against the Anoka bill.
Senator Schaller of Dakota then took
the floor and bitterly arraigned the
county plan. He was still speaking at
o'clock, when Senator McGill, stating
that he desired to hear the continuation
of the argument, asked that the special
order be adjourned for the day. This
was agreed to and the senate adjourned.
Bills Passed in the Senate.
Legalizing village bonds and village
orders issued for the purpose of erecting
armories for national guards and pur-
chasing lands on which to erect the
same.
Amending the laws authorizing the
organization of mutual retail hardware

Pennsylvania Sand Mines,

There are all kinds of mines in Penn
sylvania. The greatest are of course the
iron and coal mines. but few people
would guess that the next extensive
mining industry is the sand mines in
western Pennsylvania These mines are
rarely underground, however. and many
of them are viewed with wonder by
passengers on the Pennsylvania, ap-
preaching Pittsburg. Whole mountains
are being dug away, and the granular
rocks forming them are being reduced
to sand for the manufacture of glass in
and about Pittsburg. Philadelphia

Subsidies Not Desirable.

There is every probability that the
shipbuilding industry in this country
will soon experience a revival without
the aid of any such enormous subsidies
as are proposed in the Hanna-Payne bill
The country is likely to be startled by a
big deficit next year anyway. and the

Mr.. jacobson Fought Hard for Hi
County Option Bill.

Mr.. jacobson Fought Hard for His
County Option Bill.
After spirited discussion the house
refused, by vote of 46 to So, to place
the Jacobson county option bill on gen.
eral orders. This was in line with the
temperance committees report.
jacobson was criticized by Mallory Of
st. Louis county for inconsistency in
demanding that a practically unani-
NOUS report be reversed. Mr.. Jacob
son, from whom preceded the substi-
tute motion to advance to general Or
orders, claimed for county option as
much popular support as any bill before
the legislature. Under the present law
that relief which would be available
under county option could not be Sc
cured. The farming communities of
the state were ready to test the prin-
ciple.
Free Text Book Bill Dead.

education, II. F. ga, authorizing the
state high school board to publish and
print, at the expense of the state, free
text books and charts and appropriate

IN the house.
Mr.. Guttersen of Blue Earth and Mr..
Umland of Ramsey, spoke in opposition
10 the bill, Mr.. Gutterson claiming the
appropriation was not large enough and
Mr.. finland contending that it forced
the parochial schools to pay further
tax. The vote was 46 for and 81 against.
The bill creating commission to set
tie and adjust claims and demands of
the state was also defeated. The object
of the bill was to allow the state to ac-
cept the assets of two defunct banks in
Minneapolis in lieu of the 900 due
the state.
Recommended to Pass.
Relating to taxation of freight line
and equipment companies.

House Defeats Dwinnelrs Board of Equal
ization Bill.

House Defeats DwinnelPs Board of Equal
ization Bill.
III. F. 1877, by Dwinnell of Hennepin,
caused prolonged debate in the house
at the morning session. The bill pro-
vided that the state board of equaliza-
ton consist of three members from the
seven congressional districts, or 81 in
all, instead of one from each judicial
district as now. AS Hennepin, Ramsey
and ST. Louis counties each constitute a
congressional district in themselves, it
would have given these three counties a
representation of nine on the board.
Mr.. Dwinnell said that Minneapolis
and st. Paul, which pay two-ffths of
the taxes of the state, now have only
two members on the board out of 81.
There was sharp tilt over the measure
between the representatives from the
larger counties, led by Mr.. Dwinnell
and Mr.. Roberts on one side, and Mr..
O'Neill on the other side. On a vote the
bill was indefinitely postponed-54 to 80.
Other measures acted on were:
S. F. 117-Granting rewards for kill
ing wolves. To pass.
III. F. 23S-Relating to the preserva-
ton of forests, forest boards and forest
reserves. To pass.
Brewers Bills Bunched.
The four senate bills by Senator
Brewer, relating to the state reforma-
tory, were placed on the calendar in the
house. One repeats the law requiring
the superintendent of the reformatory
to notify the judges of the district court
monthly as to the number of inmates.
Another allows the board of managers
to discharge a prisoner at any time after
he has served the minimum time pro-
vided in the law for the offense commit
ted, in case the law had been changed
after the sentence. The third repeats
the law which requires the managers
to make semi-snnual report to the Sec
rotary of state, and the fourth bill
makes it misdemeanor for any person,
without the consent of the superintend-
ent of the institution, to have any COM
munication with convict.

VAUNTED FRENCH TITLES.
Some of Them Are Not Worth the
Price OF the Cards they Are
Printed On.

The Revue des Revues has been late
ly occupied in showing that the titles
promenaded by the members of the
Jockey club of the Pommes de Terre.
of the Union and Of the Rue Royale are
not worth the cards on which they are
printed; that in France to-day there
does not exist single solitary prince,
duke or marquis possessed of an au-
thentic title. The allegation is inter
esting, particularly SO in view of the
fact that if untrue the collectible dam
ages would be heavy. The Faubourg
Saint German, the mythical home Of
this mythical aristocracy, has not, how
ever, demeaned itself with anything so
uncivil as civil proceedings. But the
Gaulois, its accredited organ, has re-
piled that the allegation is unpatriotic,
and that for the delightful reason that
it is calculated to throw scare into
the hearts of American girls, who, be-
ing heavy consumers, have largely in
creased the national wealth.
The argument has not appealed to
