81. PAUL, March 0.--Tho GrondahI
bill providiag for the county system for
the care Of the insane wss defeated in
the house BY IN overwhelming vote. It
had been anticipated that tho measure
would be defeated, but the vote-15
ayes to 81 nsys-was surprise. Messrs.
Beach, Brusletten, Cumming. Desly,
Donohue, Foss, Calf, Grondahl, Heimer-

g., Schain, Sloan and West voted in
the affirmative.
Mr.. jacobson, after tho vote was de-
clared, moved that the further discus
sion bs made Especial order Of business
for Wednesday next, at 1890 o'clock.
He said the house had now declared
strongly against the county asylum plan,
leaving the Staples bill still before mem
bers. The jacobson motion carried.
Judging from present indications it
begins to look as if the house would not
agree to the Staples bill, which seeks to
locate district hospitals at Anoka and
Hastings. There are many members
who insist that they will not lend their
votes to the establishment of two addi-
sionsl hospitals.
