however, the house will hardly get the

HE ATTORNEY GENERAL and the rail-
road commissioners came to conclusion
this evening on the questions submit
ted them by the governor anent the
new Katy consolidation bill. With re-
gard to the railroad commissioners 1t
is easy enough to figure out what their
answer Is, as Mr.. Mayfeld is absent
from the city and Messrs. Reagan and
Storey found nothing sufficiently obiec-
tionable, from their standpoint, In the
original bill that was vetoed to warrant
them In condemning It. AS to the at
torney general, no one save himself, his
assistants and the governor are sup
posed to know just yet how he has sized
up the new bill, yet several people have
come out Of his office looking wise to-
day and there Is we'll defined impress
sion abroad tonight that he has formed
the opinion that all of the States rights
are amply protected therein. However
this may be, he has written the governor
a lengthy communication on the subject
more lengthy than the one he wrote
concerning tho vetoed bill-giving his
reason for the position he has taken;
but it is certain that there is nothing
therein indicating that the discovery has
been made that the Stayton decision in
the East Line case has been reversed.
Yet this would not preclude Mr.. Smith
from deciding that the new bill is all
right nor place the governor in an In
consistent attitude II he should sign 1t,
for it contains declaration to the effect
that nothing therein shall be considered
conclusive of any question of law and
fact affecting the status of the Sherman,
Shreveport and Southern or the Katy,
either, for that matter, This being the
case, the State may, should 1t choose
to do so, Join Issues with the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas in the courts under
the provisions Of the new bill as to
whether or not the Sherman, Shreveport
and Southern and the Katy are parallel
and competing lines within the meaning
of the constitution and enjoln the pro-
posed consolidation until that question
Is determined
AT ALL EVENTS, it is a safe guess
that the above is a pretty close forecast
of what the future will bring forth In
this case as the governor has several
times in a semi-public manner indi-
Gated that this would be the course
pursued should he let this bill pass him,
all the time insisting, however, that
there was no chance for 1t 30 escape his
veto unless it contained just such
provision as the one called attention to
above. OF course all this is based on
the supposltion that the governor Will
sign the bill, OF which there is no POSI-
tive assurance at this writing, II Is
we'll known that he is not at all satisfied
with the status of the Katy and th'
Sherman, Shreveport and Southern anf
has serious doubts as TO the effect tn
bill in question may have thereon
doubts which may eventually rescly'
themselves into objections sufficiently
strong to call forth another veto.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 6.-The mayors OF
the five cities represented by the COM
panies Of the Thirteenth regiment and
the various committees met at the Com.
mercial club to further consider plans
for the return Of the regiment and its
reception.
1t was practically decided that tho
soldiers should be given a breakfast at
St. Paul and then should be taken to
Minneapolis for a review and dinner.
After a thorough discussion OF the
situation with regard to the Thirteenth,
The visitors. together with local com-
mittees from the Twin Cities. repaired
to Governor Lind's Office at the capitol
building to take up the matter Of trans.
portation.
On Saturday last Governor Lind re-
quested the railroads entering St. Paul
from the West to submit proposals for
the transportation OF the officers and
men of the Thirteenth Minnesota from
San Francisco to st. Paul. In accord
ance with this request the repre-
sentatives of four railroads submitted
proposals. The Great Northern. North
ern Pacific. Omaha and Milwaukee
each made the same otfer-$oS.75 for
the men, agreeing to provide them with
tourist sleepers at the rate of sig per
section, four men to a section. For Of
iicers their proposed rate was $4S.75
sleeping car fare to be additional.
These figures were considered too
heavy for the funds and after nearly
two hours of discussion and considera-
ton the committees decided to reject
the proposals.
A committee was then appointed con-
sisting of Mayor Kiefer of st. Paul and
Mayor Gray Of Minneapolis. directing
them to accept the first offer received
of $50 for the men, including tourist
sleepers for the latter, not more than
three men to occupy a single section.
