paper baskets, etc, went flying in the
mir and many members joined the pages
in wild yells, This preciptate action
on the part Of the house brought grief
to great many. ss#.
The house had absolutely. completed
all the business that was before t,'and
no new business was ready unless it.
was ordered from the table, but the
senate was in session with good many
senate bills under consideration SO If
the house had taken recess for half
an hour instead Of adjourning, there
would have been considerable business
sent over from the senate. The ad-
journment killed., at one fell swoop,
every senate bill pending in that body.
While this was going on the senate
had decided to call the roll and as each
senator's name was called allow him to
take up one bill and, endeavor TO pass
it. After the house had adjourned
there, was no use Of calling Up anything
but pending house Bills, and the sem
ate. indignant at the action of the
house, did not seem to care whether.
any house measures were passed or not.
The roll of the senate had been about
half called when the house adjourned,
and from that time bedlam reiEned ssu-
premes When asenator's name, was
called and he arose to name His bill ,ssihe
was bombarded with wads of paper,
books, waste paper baskets, and even
cuspidors, so that sometimes it was Ave
minutes before he could name his bill.
The roll call that followed Vas amid
noise end confusion, the,air. being liter
ally h11ed with flying sheets and print
ed bills and other missiles, Several ef-
forts WERE made to adjourh before the
names IS. Of q, all the senators had been
called, bit they WERE y II voted down. Sen
ator Young's name was reached at five
minutes to l2, actual time. bit he had
no bill to offer, and then the senate i'm:
mediately adjourned. Taken as
whole, it was the most boisterous night
ever seen in Minnesota legislature.
The meeting of the legislature yes
terday was, as usual, only a perfume
tory affair All bills must be enrolled
and signed by the officers of both
houses before the legislature adjourns,
and consequently time was simply
killed by speeches and offering of reso-
lutions, to enable the enrolling clerks
to finish their work. In the senate an
effort was made to pass the park me-
mortal to congress, asking for a nation
al park in the Cass lake region, but the
Duluth senators were too strong and
killed it.
In the house the exciting episode was
an effort to expunge from the records
the resolution censuring Representa-
tives jacobson and Washburn for &C
cusing members of corruption in con-
nection with the gross earnings bill.
This was opposed by Representative
Laybourn of Duluth, who had offered
the resolution, and he won, so that the
resolution stands on the journal. The
speaker was thanked by resolution, and
the newspapers also, and at 1890 an
adjournment sine die was taken.

His proclamation is as follows:
The legislature, with the object of
subscribing the best interests of the
people. have wisely authorized and di-
rected the designation each year of a
day for the planting of forest trees and
the identifying of private and public
grounds. Pursuant thereto, I, S. r.
Van SAINT, as,governor of said state, do
hereby fix and appoint Friday, the Goth
of April, 1901, as Arbor and Bird Day,

pecially desirable that suitable exer-
cises be had at all public and private
schools, colleges and other educational
institutions, that the youth may be
taught to appreciate the beauty and
utility of trees and shrubs. and the i'm
portance of preserving the harmless
birds that make Minnesota their home.
I therefore earnestly recommend that
all our people devote at least portion
of said day to the planting of forest
trees and shrubs, to the end that our
home and public grounds may be made
more pleasant and attractive. Let the
object and spirit of the day be met
through hearty cooperation. in the
pleasant duties which the law invokes. :"
