DAY SPENT ON GENERAL ORDERS
Favorable Recommendation in
the House for Roberts
Election Bill.

ST. PAUL, March 3.-The house was
slight during the day, the attendance
being limited to between 60 and ~
members. Committees on state train
ING school and normal schools went on
iunkets to these institutions and this
accounted for the absentees. About the
only business done was in disposing OF
general orders. There were SO bills on
orders, and by working until 9 o'clock
33 bills were disposed of. Fifteen were
recommended to pass, one indefinitely
postponed and progress reported on the
other seventeen. Among the more i'm
portant bills recommended for passage
was HI. F. Al, by Mr.. Roberts OF Henne-
pin. This makes several
Changes in the Present Election Law.
The ballots are to be printed in blocks
of % instead of 80. Space is to be left
on the back of each ballot for the in
itials of two, instead of one, judges.
Whenever a constitutional amendment
is to be voted for the proposition is to
be at the top of the ticket instead OF at
the bottom.
In every case except that of presiden-
tial electors the names of the candidates
for Office are to be printed alternately
on the blocks of % ballots, so that the
name of each candidate is in the lead
ing first, second, third or other place on
the ticket. The first block of ballots is
to contain the names as nominated, and
on the other blocks of ballots the names
of the second, third or other candidates
are to be showed to the top of the divi-
sion of the office to be voted for.
Wants More Colored congressman.
Mr.. Wheaton introduced a resolution
requesting the house, the senate con-
curing, to pass a memorial asking the
national congress to see that sec. OF
the Fourteenth amendment to the ma
tional constitution is enforced. This
section relates to the apportionment Of
representatives to congress in the sew
eral states. Mr.. Wheaton believes the
colored people are not being treated
fairly. Mr.. Hennessy called attention
to the fact that the house recently
adopted policy of non-interference in
the doings of congress, and gave notice
of debate.
H. F. 410, by McCollom, relating to
cattle running at large in the counties
of Marshall and Kittson, was passed

AFTER A LONG FIGHT
Somerville Bill Taxing Foreign
Corporations Manages to
Pass the House.
BUSY DAY IN TIE SENATE
Calendar Taken UP and Over a
Score of Measures Favor
ably Acted On.

ST. PAUL, March 2.-The Somerville
bill, s. F. 60, passed the house by a vote
of &c to AS, after four hours had been
devoted to offering amendments and
discussion as TO its provisions. The
lawyers in the house insisted that the
measure was badly drawn, other mem
bers that it would effect the discount
ing and rediscounting of paper at the
banks, and that its provisions were
such that corporations with unlimited
capital could come into the state and do
business without paying cent of fees.
In spite of these objections, however,
the friends of the bill rallied to its sup
port and
Managed to Push 1t Through.
To elinch the matter motion to recon-
slider was made and laid on the table
and all that now remains for the meas
ure to become law is the signature of
the governor. The provisions of the
bill are:
ITO require every foreign corporation
doing business in this state to have a
public Office in this state at which to
transact its business, and to appoint an
agent duly authorized to accept service
OF process, and requiring such corpora
ton to file its certificate of incorpora-
ton with the secretary of state, pay
fees OF incorporation and providing pen
alties for the violation of the act"
Spat Over Insane Hospital Bills.
There was slight spat over the in
sane hospital bill at the morning session.
The committee on insane hospitals re-
ported H. F. 269, by Mr.. Staples, which
provides for the location of an insane
hospital at Hastings and Anoka, with
the recommendation that it pass. Mr..
Grondahl was ON his feet in an instant
and informed the house that it was the
understanding that his bill, II. F. $50,
providing for the care of the chronic in
sane in the county hospitals, should be
reported at the same time. After an
explanation by Mr.. Mallette, chairman
the committee, and further talk by
Mr.. Grondahl, both bills were made
special order for Tuesday next.
