Night Session Is Held.

q
Not a few of the senator's are ,becom-
ing not a little exercised over the pros
pect Of the senate business, as there is
a remarkable proba bility' Of a number of
meriterious bills being smothered
through the usual falling at this session
of lack of time to consider them
With the Underleak antitrust bill as a
special order for today, in the senate, it
is highly improbable that the calendar
will be reached before late in the
afternoon, at the latest, and it is
probable that a night. session may
be had, although the committee on
taxes and tax laws has already an
nounced for the senate chamber a public
hearing on the insurance gross premiums
tax and the Torson bill for the taxation
of sleeping car companies on their gross

There are siXtysix bills on the senate
calendar for this morning, which would
represent good days work, even were
there no debate upon any of the meas
ures. Fortunately. most of them are of
such a character that the debate will
probably not be seriously prolonged.

SENATE REsENTs 1T.
ImputatiOn of LaclSs3Of Confidence
Made by the House.


In the last two days the senate has
placed on the calendar over half a hun
dred house bills, and some, of the senators
are chafing little under the evidently
well-agreed-upon purpose of the house to
defer action on senate bills; until all house
bills have been disposed Of. 1t was not till
late yesterday afternoon that the house
condescended to consider a senate bill at
ALL and that was after every house bill
that could be reached In any way had
been disposed of. .o,s,e
Some of the displeased senators say the
house was unnecessarily ehasty in assum-
ing that the senate was discourteous or
malicious in it's slow action on house
bills. AS a matter of fact these senators
insist, there is real reason for urging
bills in the senate and house bills in the
house, for the reason that then they will
be given chance to get to the governor.
which many might not, II valuable time
at this stage of the session was consumed
In the discussion of Objectionable bills
that might have passed the other house
by a close vote, while really desired bills
which had come In late, were blocked for
want of an opportunity to get at them.

The house passed sixteen house bills
and then when senate bills were reached
on the calendar went into the committee

VAS raced through and four of the forty
slN bills recommended for passage These
four Were house flies, and as the end was
reached before o'clock, the senate bills
were taken up and four recommended for
passage.
The two bills relating to the granting
OF franchises to street railway companies
by city councils were passed.
Mr.. Dwinnell said he had evidently been
misunderstood in his position taken on
the street railway franchise oils Monday
afternoon. He did not intend, however.
to waver from what he considered his
duty. The bills were in the interests of
syndicate of nonresident capitalists and
had been advocated by lobbyists on the
floor of the house. He had learned that
the bills, If passed. would not enlarge
the powers of the city council of Mime
apolis and would not allow the building
OF a rival line. The state of Minnesota
had in territorial days sold rights for
g mess of pottage and members should
take care that this was not repeated
The present street railway in Mime
apolis was well conducted and the coun-
Ct! had the right to compel the company
tc extend Its lines, reduce the fare to 3
cents, and require the company to paw
25 per cent of its receipts into the city
treasury. Whenever this could not be
done ne was in favor of municipal owner

which he lived or represented, and he
would not oppose them.

passed in an acceptable form after recon

SURETY COMPANIES CUT DOWN.
The surety companies bill, to allow
them to be accepted as sureties on the
bonds of county and city officials, stirred
up some debate.

to limit the sureties in the aggregate to

LEGISLATIVE NUBs.

An effort was made to reconsider the
vote by which H. F. 645, providing for
the appointment of commission to re-
wise and annotate the statutes, was lost
Mr.. Riley tRep), of Jackson, said the
demand for revision of the statutes
was from all parts of the state. and he
had petition from $50 lawers who IA
vored 1t. The appropriation under the
bill was but $4,000, and it would be money
well spent.
Mr. jacobson Rep.), of Lac oui Parle.
Mr.. Staples (Rep), of Dakota; Mr.. Nal.
lette (Rep.), of Mile Laos, and Mr. Foss
Rep), of Grant, opposed the reconsider
alton.
Mr.. Dwinnell said the revision would
save the state about $4,000 in legislative
expenses, as it would not be necessary
for the legislature to sit more than sixty
days after such revision had been COM
pleted. o-
Mr.. Jacobson took the ground that it
would cost nearer $780, 900 to do the work.

MADRID, May 14.-Senor Don Francis
co Silvela, the Spanish Premier, in an in
terview to-day regarding the attack by
the Fiipinos upon the Spanish garrison
at Zamboanga, island of Mndanao, in
which two Spanish officers and three men
were wounded and one man killed, said:
1T is very painful to us to have sus-
tanned these losses in a territory which
does not belong to us. We left these
troops in the Philippines in the hope that
they might aid in securing the release of
the Spanish prisoners in the hands of the

treat with US, and Frenchman on. Du-
marais) who had offered on our behalf
TO treat with the enemy, was killed by

America has not yet succeeded, as she
has no more authority than we had. We
cannot leave troops any longer in a ter
ritory that we are obliged to defend, and
/ have telegraphed General Rios to use
three steamers for the immediate trans
portation Of our troops from Zamboanga
and Holo and to acquaint Major General
Otis with those instructions, so that the

The Filipino committee has issued q

Rumors Do Not Alarm
Brooke.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HAVANA. May 14.-General Gomez has
sent a message to Governor General
Brooke that he will call at headquarters
tomorrow for a further conference re-
garding the payment of the cuban troops
The appointment for the interview is the
result of a direct inquiry as to what Gen-
eral Gomez intended to do in view OF
the resignation and non-appearance or
all the Cuban officers nominated by him
to represent the several corps In the dis
tribUtion of the 50 900.
General Brooke, it is said, has deter
mined to disregard for the present the
reports that reach him from various
sources as to the alleged intention of
Gomez to withdraw his cooperation and
thus throw into confusion the carefully
matureG plans for distributing the fund
1t is believed that the personal interview
tomorrow ought to adjust the matter
and to point the way out of the tenn
porary perplexity. He is unwilling TO
consider Gomez as insincere or as acting
ever, still retains the discretion reposed in
him by President Mckinley to abandon
the effort to disband the late insurgents
with the gratuity and to send back the
entire amount to the United States.
The Cuban General Rafael Rodriguez
speaking for General Gomez to-day. SAID
the reports of a difference with General
Brooke were absolutely untrue. The at
titude of Gomez, he declared, had under
gone no change, and the principal gen
erals of the Cuban army, as well as the
mez as they always had. He explained
that all the talk about a revolt IN the
army against the surrendering of the
arms was the work of members of the
former military assembly, "a group OF
malcontents behind Manuel Sanguilly
who can give considerable trouble"
A report is in circulation this evening
that the Cuban Colonel Agurdina, who
has been employed in the preparation Of
the Cuban army lists, has been detected
padding the rolls so as to defraud the
distributors. The military authorities
however, deny the report.

a PRAYER and singing. Rev. DR.. Doug
lass delivered the sermon. In his
charge, Dr. Douglass spoke slowly and
impressively. At the conclusion OF the
sermon of ordination, Rev. DR.. osborne
read the litany.
Then the most impressive moment
arrived. The sponsors went forward
and presented the candidates to the
bishop The candidates stood together
with their SPONSORS before the bishop.
After the postulents had been presented
to the bishop. and after those present
ing them had given the usual assurance
that they had been examined and found
worthy, the bishop rose from his chair
and pro laimed a general invitation to
any person knowing any impedlment
or notable crime in the candidates" to
come forward.
Then followed a profound silence.
People turned about as If expecting
some one to rise up and make a protest.
No one rose. There was no protest
handed to the bishop and the crucial
moment was over. Then the regular
formula of ordination was gone through
with more deliberation. Then followed
the laying on of hands by the bishop
and the presbvters and the participa-
tion in the communion. During the en-
tire communion service, the candidates
remained kneeling in front Of the holy
table before the bishop. The presenta-
tion of the bible was gone through with
Many of the congregation participated
in the communion. During this, Rev
DR.. Briggs took a seat in the Chancel
choir and sat for the first time facing
the congregation, who surveyed him
with interest The reading of the
Nicene creed, an Offertory and the re-
cessional concluded the ceremonies.
Rev. DR.. Briggs was seen after the
ceremony. He said he had nothing to
say concernino the criticism raised by
his ordination. He said he was going
to take a rest A close friend of DR..
Briggs said that he would go TO Europe
and in the fall would labor in the pro-
cathedral church. Rev. DR.. Paddock
said that it seemed strange that a man
of DR.. Briggs learning should take 50
much pleasure in laboring among the
poor of the East Side, but this was his
wish He said that Rev. DR.. Briggs
would not give up his position as pro-
fessor in the Union Theological Semi
narv but would labor in connection
with his teachings.
