SUBSTITUTE FAVORED.
Little Fight in Senate Over the Nc
GOwan Bill Natter.

GOwam Bill Matter.
ST. PAUL. Feb Ex-senator Daugherty
had a fight on his hands in the senate
this morning. when as chairman Of the
labor committee he reported back for the
majority of the committee a substitute
for the MCGOWAN bill, making eight
hours constitute d days work. The sub
stitute provides that the provisilns of the
bill shall apply to employees of the state
O. municipal corporations or employees of
contractors for those corporations.
The minority of the committee made a
report asking that the bill be definitely
postponed. Senator Sheehan (Ramsey),
advocated the minority report. He con-
tended that state supreme court decisions
in several states had held that the prn-
ciple ivolved here was unconstitutional
unless applied to all classes Of laborers.
Senator Daugherty asked if the senat-
or's contention before the committee was
not that the original bill was unconstitu-
tional because IT excepted farm laborers.
The senator from Ramsey admitted that
thmat was true.
Senator Daugherty demanded 4 roll call
on the substitute motion that the report
of the minority be adopted. Protests
came from all over the senate. but Mr..
Daugherty insisted on 4 roll call. Then
followed a. technical discussion as to the
effect of the adoption Of the motion,
which Senator Daugherty insisted would
indefinitely postpone the bill He finally
won an admission from the president that
his contention was correct. The minority
report was rejected on the roll call and
the majority report in favor of the bill
was subsequently adopted.
An Establishing law that hits,
strikes as we'll was introduced by Senator
Hawkins. The bill declares II unlawful
for any persons or corporations to COM
bine or conspire to prevent or Interfere

porations by threats. promises, the cir

STOPPING THE RUM.
Ingenious Way of Saving the Credit Of
Spanish Banks.


A man who recently left Lisbon tells
an interesting story Of the manner In
which the Bank of Spain checked the
run upon that institution several weeks
ago. The circulating medium OF Spain
consists of the notes of that bank and
the silver which is held to redeem them
to rs per cent, | believe, Of their par
value. AS the public were losing con-
fdence in the financial stability of the
government, crowds of people took
their paper notes to the bank for re-
demption. Under ordinary circum.
stances, they will exchange silver for a
paper note without any delay, but when
the run commenced the managers
found it necessary to adopt some meas
ures to restore confidence and to save
the specie in their own vaults. 1t would
not do, of course, for them to show the
white feather or refuse to redeem their
own notes, SO they adopted an ingeni-
Gus plan which ultimately tired out the
people and stopped the demand for
coin. Thousands of people surrounded
the bank-many Of them were IN bad
temper-and stood in lines several
blocks long awaiting their turn at the
cashiers counter. When one of them
finally reached him and laid down the
note he wished to exchange for silver
coin, he was held for five or ten min
utes and subjected to a cross-eXamina-
tion such as might have been given
him by a census enumerator. In the
meantime, a clerk wrote his answers
down upon a blank form-his age, oc-
cupation, residence birthplace, the
names Of his parents, etc. Then he
was required to sign formal applica-
tion for the exchange Of twenty pesetas
for example, in paper, for their equiva-
lent in silver. Then he was sent away
and told to return in three days.
On the third day the man would re-
turn and, after standing in line again
all day and all night, perhaps, would
reach the cashiers counter. He would
be required to bring somebody to iden-
tfy him and to certify that he was the
person described in the paper present
ed. This took couple of days more,
perhaps, and finally he was given
certificate or draft upon another cash
fer, who, he was told, would pay him
the money. This made it necessary for
him to stand in another line for day
or two, and when he finally reached
the proper place he would be required
to sign a receipt and make an oath OF
allegiance to the government and an
Endorsement Of the financial soundncss
of the bank. Thus by this Circum.
locution arrangement man had to
waste seven or eight days to get pa
per dollar changed into silver, and the
transaction was so tedious and COmpli-
Gated that each consumed fifteen or
twenty minutes. AS there was only
one cashier not more than forty or fifty
persons at the utmost could be served
in day, and the clamor finally sub
sided from exhaustion.

BEAUTIFUL DEADLY ORCHIDS
A Forest of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.

A Forest of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.
NJ Serge Belaguine, a Russian ex-
plorer Of Brazil, states in an interview
recently published In The Gaulois that
a few degrees below the equator he dis
covered q forest Of flowers that pre-
vented him from approaching them.
With every Difference to Mr.. Belaguine,
that forest seems to have been discov-
cred before, says Golfers Weekly. Two
years ago there appeared in San
Francisco paper an account provided
by bulb hunter returning from tho
same region, who declared that after
noticing in forest an odor, vague and
sweet at first, but which increased as
he advanced, ultimately he reached a
clearing, and there, straight ahead.
was a wilderness of orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with them, they trailcd on
the ground, mounted in beckoning con-
tortions, dangled from branches, fen IN
sheets, and elongated and expanded as
far as the eye could reach. A breeze
passed and they swayed with 1t. NOV
ing with life Of their own, dancing In
the glare Of the equatorial sun, and as
they danced exhaling an odor that pro-
tected them more sheerly than a wall.
In vain did that hunter endeavor to ap-
proach. There was veil of perfumed
chloroform through which he could see,
but through which, try as he might. he
could not pass. 1t held him back more
effectually than bayonets, and it was
torture to him to see those fowers and
to feel that before he could reach them
he must die. suffocated by the very
splendors OF which he was in search,
poisoned by floral jewels such as no
one perhaps had seen before. At the
time the place was known as the vii
lage of demon flowers.
