House Members Indulge in Several Pas
sages at Arms.
The monotony of the house session of
five hours, devoted largely to special
orders, was broken by some sharp dis
cussions between the members. The
first was over an amendment offered by
Wheaton of Hennepin to a bill under
discussion in which the colored mem Der
crossed swords with Mr.. Dwinnell, also
of Hennepin. The second episode was
between Messrs. jacobson and Foss.
The latter asked that a certain bill of his
be made a special order, but Jacobson
objected. On vote Foss lost rs to II, a
two-thirds majority being necessary.
The house in the committee of the
whole recommended for passage Ell. f.
16, by Mr.. jacobson. The measure pre-
vents railroad companies from raising
the rates of transportation on freight
between points in Minnesota without
the consent of the railroad and ware
house committee. The particular COM
modities on which rates cannot be
raised without the consent of the COM
mission are grain, flax, coal, live stock
and lumber
The bill of Mr.. Jackson authorizing
municipal courts to accept cash bail in
misdemeanors and excepting such bail
from garnishment, attachment and ex-
ecution, was also recommended for pas
sage.
The Mcneil bill regulating the
charges of stock yard companies was
killed.

KILLED THE DIVORCE BILL.
Senate Sustains the Recommendation O
the judiciary Committee.

Senate Sustains the Recommendation of
the judiciary Committee.
One of the first committee reports in
the senate session killed the Fosnes di-
vorce bill, which came in from the
house as substitute for the Wilson
bill. The Fosnes bill makes two years
desertion the requirement for an action
in divorce, where the Wilson bill made
it three years. Senator Somerville, for
the judiciary committee, recommended
that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Senator Wilson objected to the adoption
of the report. He thought that out of
consideration for the house, which has
acted favorably on the bill, and as a
matter of courtesy to those senators who
had supported his bill, the Fosnes bill
should go upon general orders, and he
made motion to that effect After
further discussion the committee report
was adopted.
Cash for Good Roads.
A breezy debate occurred during the
discussion upon the bill introduced by
the committee on roads and bridges,
which levies an annual tax of one
twentieth of l mill on all property for
state road and bridge fund, making
effective the constitutional amendment
recently adopted. One senator said it
had been urged that cities were dis
eliminated against. but while they
would not draw deeply on the fund pro-
posed they were drawing heavily ON
state funds for the capitol, the univer-
sity and other state institutions. 1t was
finally recommended for passage.
The nominations sent in by Governor
Lind last week, John G. Brady for sur
veyor general at Duluth, and Pierre
Hilbert of Stearns on the state board of
medical examiners, were both confirmed
by the senate.

BRYAN IN THE HOUSE
Democratic Leader Addresses
Minnesota Legislators by
Invitation.
ELEVEN BILLS WE'RE PASSED
Lower Branch Finally DiSpOSes
of Many Measures on the
Calendar.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 15.-William Jennings
Bryan, by invitation, addressed the
house of representatives during the
morning session. Mr.. Bryan introduced
no political doctrines into his speech,
but dwelt upon such subjects as men OF
all parties found themselves able to
agree mutually upoL-the wisdom OF
legislating for the general good, the
equality of all men before the law and
in the courts of justice and the need OF
restraining legislation particularly IN
the case of those artificial persons Gre
ated by law and termed corporations.
On the conclusion of his address, Mr..
BRYAN remained for brief 10 minutes
in the legislative chamber for the pur-
pose of shaking hands with those who
cared to meet him. The opportunity
was generally taken advantage OF and
Republicans as well as Democrats
pressed forward to exchange a word
with the magnetic Nebraskan.
-Four bills introduced by Messrs. Hill
larry and Neubauer of Washington
county provided for the proposed street
railway extension between st. Paul and
Saltwater. Two of the bills authorized
boards of county commissioners and
common councils to grant permission to
street railway companies to use high
ways and streets for terms OF not to ex-
coed 25 years. The other two bills le-
gallzed such actions taken by the county
commissioners or common councils
since Jan. l, 1899. The measures went
to the committees on towns and coun-
ties and municipal legislation.

Mower County Transcript:
We see a statement that in Germany
the notice of intended marriage must
be published certain length of time
preceding the event to give anyone an
opportunity to file reasons why the two
persons may not be lawfully united
Thus it will be seen that hasty mar
riages will be prevented marriages
without parents consent will be almost
impossible; romantic sentimentality
will be entirely done away with and
thus many fatal mistakes avoided. The
advantages of two weeks notification
in the papers are obvious.

at Harthshorne, Wilburton, Alberson
and other points ON the Choctaw, Okla

are out and that not pound of coal is
being taken out of those mines. It is
from mines at these places that large

John Proctor Clarke to Accept.
THE Sun Is Mt liberty TO announce this
morning that by direction OF Gov. Roosevelt
the place OF Surrogate to succeed John II. VI.
Arnold was profrered last night to the Hon.
Joseph +. DAILY, for twenty-elRht years a Jus
tice OF the Supreme Court in the First Judi
cial district. Mr.. DAILY told the representa-
tlves of:the Governor that while he appreciated
the honor and confidence shown him he never
theless could not accept the place. He de-
clined IL ON the ground that he wished TO dem.
~onstrate that he was not actuated last fall in
his attitude By a desire for public place. but
that he took his stand for q high principle and
with no hope or thought Of reward Mr.. DAILY
was informed that tho place OF Surrogate was
offered to him for the sole reason that Gov.
Roosevelt and his friends believed that he
would Ill the bill and make needed reforms In
the office. Mr.. DAILY replied that he under
stood all that. but that while thanking Gov.
Roosevelt and his friends he nevertheless felt
1t to be. his duty to decline the Governors Of
fer.
All talked with'last night after Mr.. Days dec
llnation declared that John Proctor Clarke
should take the place of Surrogate. Mr.. Clarke.
II was made known, h~esitates from'a feeling OF
delicacy for the reason that he was counsel
for the Fallows Assembly ommitte which
brought Mr.. Arnold to book. 1t was the testia
mony of eminent Republicans last night that
Assemblyman Fallows had performed a great
service In presenting such a strong case
against Mr.. Arnold as to compel Mr.. Arnold to
resign his place under fire."
"Fallows il a comparative younRster in poll
tics" they said. but he didn't do any talking.
He went to work. Day after day he investi-
gated patiently and carefully Mr.. Arnold's ad-
ministration OF his utt shown by the rec
ords. Fallows started right In after election
day. when he was elected Republican As
semblyman from the Twenty-tirst district.
He didn't trot around town with u brass band
and two-foot thick cymbals.' He quietly got up
the record against Arnold. 1t has boon the
neatest thing done in many years"
Well. II Mr.. Clarke doesn't find It convenient
TO accept the place OF Surrogate there are still

HALE r1eH110a HIS OWN srArE.
Ertsndv Of the Maine ssnaSor Urging Him
to Vote for the Treaty.

ApousTA, MO, Feb. 6.-StrSnuous efforts arc
being put forth by leading Maine Republicans
to induce Senator Hale to vote for the ~ratiiica-
ton OF the peace treaty. When. more than a
fortnight ago. resolutions were unanimously
passed by both branches OF the Legislature
heartily and uneQuiyocally indorsing the Pres
ident's course throughout the war and since
and urging the adoption OF tho peace treaty, 1t
was thought that Mr.. Hale would swerve from
his purpose OF opposing ratification. But the
resolutions did not result In the accomplish
ment Of the object sought. Mr.. Hale is still
classed among the anti-treaty Senators.
Since Saturday morning letters and tele-
grams have been sent Senator Hale from all
quarters OF the State and by all classes Of Re-
publican leaders. Gov. Powers. one Of the
strongest as well as one OF the oldest personal
and political friends the Senator has in the
State. has written and tclegraphed Mr.. Hale
to refrain from voting against the ratification
OF the treaty. urging him. il he cannot find his
way clear to vote for it. to abstain from voting
on either side, The Hon. Joseph II. Man
ley, who has been as closely identified
with Mr.. Hale in his political career
as any man In the country, has like
wise requested Senator Hale orthe sake Of tho
party to como into line before the vate Is taken
tomorrow. The Hon. John y. Hill al this city.

sion OF his visit to Augusta at the time OF his
