NEW ONES TO BE CHOSEN

FIRST MEETING TO BE HELD FEB. 18Th
And Now Gov. Russell Let US Take a Peep at

Refused 10 Let US See Last
Summer

Yesterday-in the House-was like
unto the day before, and to-day will
probably be the same--deadly dull and
stagnantly uninteresting.
The grip or the weather or the empty
galleries or something else seems to have
taken all the spirit out Of the Solons.
They sit quietly in their seats,
listening to the reading Of the bills and
voting aye or no as the committee report
may dictate.
Mind you I'm not complaining at this.
It's virtue rather than a vice on the
part of the House. A great big virtue
that ought to be patted on the back
and encouraged.
Work is always more or less dull, but
still it's work that counts. Fine oratory,
keen satire and rich humor may be
more interesting, but it is far less
profitable. A legislative body is n
place where talk is not cheap.
And that is why ! congratulate the
State on the fact that these are dull
days in its General Assembly. The
talker has either worn out or been fro
zen ont and we've come down to the
hard pan of four-hours-a day solid
work.
Yesterday saw the enactment into
law of % bills-so far as the House
can enact lawto say nothing of the
twelve petitions presented and int
thirty-two new bills and resolutions in
PRODUCED. Three other bills were passed
on their second reading; seven were
tabled, and four were taken from the
calendar and sent to committees.
And SO you see it was literally a
s'busy day. in the House.

miles northeast of here, of Mrs. John Gill

pounded out of human semblance. On
another bed lay the bodies of the two it,

OLD CONDUCTORS BOUNCED
WHOLESALE DISMISSAL OF NUM-
BER OF PASSENGER MEN.
Speculation IL One of the Alleged
Causes for the Turn
Over.

Wild rumors were floating about town
yesterday to the effect that the st. Paul
& Duluth and the Eastern Minnesota
roads had summarily dismissed all the
It was alleged that Irregularities caused
the wholesale dismissal In part the ru-
mors were true. About 40 old conductors
employed in the passenger service OF the
st. Paul & Duluth, the Great" Northern
and the Northern Pacific have been sus'
pended pending an investigation. The
charges preferred are said to be gambling
and speculation. A number of the con-
ductors have been putting money in cop
per, wheat and stocks. All conductors in
the passenger service are required to give
bonds and when the trust companies that
had gone OF these bonds as sureties heard
OF the speculative mania of the conduct
crs they withdrew the bonds. This Is the
story given out by a man high up In rail.
road circles, last evening.
Every conductor on the main line of The
St. Paul & Duluth has been suspended.
Today new men will run the trains be-
tween the twin cities and the head of the
lakes. Three Of the men suspended have
been running on the road IS and 20 years.
Fred Horey, the Oldest conductor running
into Duluth, is among those laid off. His
friends say that he will not attempt to
re. enter the service but will take up farm
ing on his farm near St. Paul.
Eastern Minnesota officials do not con-
firm the report that number Of their
men will be laid Off in the next few days.
However, from source that carries
weight it is announced that IA conductors
of the Great Northern are to be suspend
ed for specializing and other causes and
that some of these will be Eastern Min

SIGHTS OF NEW YORK.
Plenty OF Time for News Tribune
Excursionists to See Them;

Plenty of Time for News Tribune
Excursionists to See Them.
People who travel great deal and are
familiar with the cities Of many nations,
say that New York lacks in many things
of beauty, such as parks. many monu-
ments, or. classic archways. The city has
sights without number nut they are not
things Of rare beauty. The streets do not
run together and form little parks, as in
Washington; neither will an unexpected
turn bring one face to face with some
magnificent bronze. as in Montreal. New
York Is city of power. 1t is a city of
buildings and business. The people have
been too intent upon the making Of mon
ey or the pursuit Of pleasure. They have
not cared for the sentimental as much
as the substantial and the general feel
great piles Of stone and brick that form
the stores, office buildings, marvellous ho-
tells, and Fifth avenue mansions And
that is why. today. but comparatively
few monuments raise their heads to the
glory Of hero. patriot, poet or statesman
and the enduring fame of the artist.
The Washington arch IS an exception
and when the tomb of Grant in Riverside
park was given to the world, new era
opened to New York New York does
started upon a different career, the. next
few years will be rich In gifts and the
immense colony Of sculprors and artists
will not send the greater number of their
works to other cities. One Of the most
notable ornaments in New York Is the
statue of Nathan Hale. the young hero.
80 loyal. so brave. so proud that his hav
ing been, has alone power to this day
to throw wealth of tenderness and most
noble sentiment about the war of free
dom. This statue stands In. city hall
square and is worth no small journey.
It is the work of Frederick MacMonies,
the young sculptor who almost sprung
into fame with the Worlds fair.
The art lover who delights in beauty
and the accomplishments of American ar
lists will have ample opportunity to be
thrice proud many times, If he takes in
the News Tribunes excursion. For the
best work of MacMonnies as well as sew
eral other American artists, is to be
found in Boston and washington. To be
sure the treasure-hives OF both places are
the public libraries, still each city boasts
of many beautifiers in the shape of
monuments.
The Soldiers monument on Boston
Common Is the work Of Martin Milmore,
whose short life was rich in its own
work and will always live as the inspi-
ration Of the wondrous creation, French's
"Angel Of Death Staying the Hand Of the
Sculptor" This marble is at Forest Hill
cemetery Just out Of Boston, and marks
the sleeping place of Milmore.

Mayor Opposed To 1t.

A bill said to be now before the state
legislature has aroused the lion in Mayor
Truelsen and has caused his honor to
don the war paint that it was his wont 10
wear few years ago. An octopus in a
new form has confronted the city. the
mayor believes, but, to win, this serpent
will have to overcome the mayor. In an
endeavor to do which other creatures of a
kindred nature have bitten the dust.
The bill in question, it is reported, pro-
vides for taking away from city councils
control over street railway companies.
putting the control of these corporations
in the hands Of the state railroad COM
mission.
It Is said that there are also similar
bills regarding the control over telephone
and electric light companies.
Said Mayor Truelsen on the bill regard
ing street railways:
"This Is one Of the boldest strokes l
have ever known corp orations to take.
The idea Of taking away the control IN
such matters from the city council Is out

rageous. It would be like getting man in
another state for governor Of Minnesota.
What would the state railroad commission
know about the needs Of the various
municipalities whose street railways the
commission would control? According to
the law governing the commission, it
would take the commission years to cause
any change to be made. Besides this,
the tax on these corporations would go to
the state instead Of to the city.
II understand that there Is a powerful
pressure brought to bear on the legisla-
ture to pass the bill.
II have wired Representative Laybourn,
opposing the bill and asking him to do his
best against it. The council will probably

Labor investigation.

The officials of the state Labor Bur-
eau since the first of the month have
been compiling the reports of the fac
tory inspectors for the year 1898 and
have completed their work. The re.
suit of the compilation sets forth the
number of establishments in each line
of industry, separately for St. Paul.
minneapolis and Duluth and for the
state at large, and the number of men.
women, boys and girls employed in
each. It must be understood the in
spection is not a full census of the
state. 1t is chiefly directed to places
where dangerous machinery is most
likely to be and where there are child
rem under sixteen years of age. The
table of figures indicate that the in
spections made were as follows:
| In St. Paul-586 establishments, 49,
975 men, los boys, 1917 women, 80
girls; total, 14,4o5.
In Minneapolis-567 establishments,

Is girls, total, 1851.
Total-2,e6O establishments, 4s,141
men, Al boys, s,4s7 women, 1853 girls;
total, 1922.
The largest number of shops in any
line are the printeries and binderies,
300 in the state, employing 1910 peo-
pie: There are 225 cigar and tobacco
factories, 1874 foundries and engine
works, 104 -four mills, 122 laundries,
and 1865 bakeries.
Labor Commissioner McHale pro-
poses to make a more thorough and
exhaustive inspection in future tnan
has been made in the past and SO in
structed his assistants in this regard
when they started out on their duties
this week. In addition to the usual
inspections it is the purpose of tae
bureau to ascertain how many of the
employees engaged in various indus
trial pursuits have received a teen
meal education and how many of
them are owners of their own homes.
These. are new features:to be taken up
by the labor bureau this year. Mr..
McHale has determined on a course
which will undoubtedly yield a full
and correct knowledge of the condi-
ton of the laboring classes in this
state.
