INVESTIGATION IS OFF
ROADS WILL NOT BE
LOOKED INTO
MILLER RESOLUTION BEATEN
RumoIts of the Combination of Iron
Ore Carrying Reads Too In
definite to warrant
Inquiry.

Senator Nillers resolution authorizing
the state to officially investigate the re
ported consolidation OF the MesSaba
and the Duluth & Iron Range railroads
Occasionad a stormy debate in the house
yesterday and was finally defeated. The
resolution was based upon the vague in
formation that reports from the East
stated that these roads were about to
merge into a great steel trust, the for
nation Of which is now in process. The
resolution held the roads to be compet-
ing lines.
Mr.. Laybourn, of Duluth, at once gave
notice of debate, and Speaker Bowling
held that the resolution thereby went
over one day. Mr.. Jacobson took excep-
ton to this ruling, saying that con-
current resolution could not be so disposed
Of. He then essayed to champion the
resolution, and a bitter, if brief, con
flict of words ensued, with Mr.. jacob
son on the side of the resolution, and
Messrs. Laybourn and Mallory, of DID,
luth, against it. Mr. jacobson said his
opponents were true to their calling
in defending the corporations to the
last. He contended that the two roa7s
were competing, despite the declarations
Of his opponents to the contrary.
Mr.. Laybourne said, in the most en-
phatic terms, that the resolution was a
mere piece of 'buncombe" and should
not be tolerated. But to be fair, Mr..
Laybourn said he had served notice of
debate, so that the resolution could take
its regular course.
The resolution was severely condemn
ed by Mr.. Mallory. who called attention
to the fact that it was based upon a
'rumor" that had come from the E st.
lie ridiculed the idea of a legislature Or
dering so important an investigation"
when there was nothing but an unWar-
ranted report as a basis. In the fir t
place he said, if such an investigation
was needed the state had officers en-
ployed for that work. Proceeding, Mr..
Mallory declared that the legislators be-
hind this movement are endeavoring to
manufacture political prestige. Some
fellows want to come before the peop g
two years from now and say We did
it, That, Mr.. Mallory said, was the
actuating motive.
Messrs. Jacobson and Mallory engaged
in a heated cross-fre by ordering each
other to "shut up and sit down while
I've got the floor"
A motion by Mr.. Roberts to suspend
the rules and act Oh the resolution with
cut delay, had the effect Of pouring oil
On the turbulent sea and put the matter
to direct vote, when it was beaten.

ing cities between 10000 and $4,000 inhabi-
tants the right to own and operate their

prevents divorced parties from marrying
within six months after their divorce
ment
Considerable pressure is said to have
been brought by the electric companies
to have the governor veto the bill which
accords the right OF municipal ownership
of plants of that character.
According to the provisions of a bill
passed by the senate and house yester-
day st. Paul and other cities of a class
to which it belongs can accept a gift for
the erection Of public library, SO if Mr..
Carnegie decides to endow the SANITY
City with any of his coin there viii be
scruples in the way of taking him on.
After much difficulty Mr. Bosworth's
bill, to allow county treasurers in coun-
ties Of $4,000 to $4,000 a certain amount of
money for clerk hire, passed the house
as amended by the senate.

MANY Bills DISPOSED OF
Beet Sugar Bounty Sill Sent to the
BOneERrd Along With Con-
siderable Other Leg
isIattOn.

In orderly manner and WITH no mani
festation Of undignited haste the senate
spent the day yesterday in dispoSing 0t
q large grist Of bills. There was nothing
specially exciting in the proceedings.
Senator Young suggested a clever little
move which carried 1t was to allow each
senator upon roll call to call UP a bill FROM
general orders and move suspension Of the
rules and its passage. There was a warm
debate over the Hillary log lien bill, WITH
Senators BucNman and Ilospes support
ing the measure and Senators Mccarthy
and Baldwin fighting it. The bill was
finally amended by Senator Baldwin to
take effect on Sept. l. The lumboTmen,
he stated, are just now receiving their
wages and the law, if it should take
effect at once, would work hardship upon
them.
The Sikorski bill to legalize the catch
ing of fish in the Mississippi river below
St. Anthony Falls was killed. There were
fifteen affirmative votes and twenty mine
recorded against the measure, and this
after Mr.. Sikorslli had been allowed the
privilege Of tie floor and made a special
plea for the passage of his bill. His plea
was supplemented by one from Senator
Ives. Senator J. D. Jones opposed the
bill and stated that the game and fish
would pass from Minnesota even as the
1nQlan naQ passed, II the use OIL SCENES
were permitted and other licenses given
for the wholesale slaughter of game.
The HaugIand bill reducing the rate of
interest upon school loans from 10 per
cent to per cent passed. The much
amended contagious diseases bill was
called up by Senator Barker and passed
finally in practically the shape in which
Senator SchaEer introduced his first bill
The Armstrong labor bill was passed
after long debate The Potter medical
bill met death early in the morning, as
did the Mallory bill regulating fraternal
beneficiary societies, and the Alley bill
to authorize the state superintendent to
revoke teachers certificates in certain
cases. The Potter bill was tartly argued,
Senator Jepscn assailing It with more
than his usual vigOr. The Mallory hill
was also given emphatic discussion.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYED.
Central Of New Jersey Wage SEIZED
ule. Under DISC ass ion.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE conference
between the employees and officials OF the
Central railway OF the New Jersey, at
Jersey City, this Afternoon On the
wage dispute that exists between them
did not lead to definite results and will
be resumed tomorrow. Both sides seem
to be acting in a spirit of fairness, there
is an absence of bitterness in their dis
cussiOns and the prospects for a COM
plete adjustment of their differences are
very bright. The meeting this afternoon
which was secret one, convened shortly
after one O'Clock, and lasted until even
ing. Supt. Olhausen headed the COM
pany officials, and Chairman Waite Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Engineers, was
at the head of the delegation of workers.
His fellow committeeman with him and
many of the employees not heretofore
attached to any of the committees, also
attended and took part in the discussion.
Most of the talk in the Afternoon was on
the wage schedule of the engineers and
fremen, and the last proposition sub
m1tted to the railway before the inter
vention Of the Brotherhood chiefs, was
largely the basis of discussion. 1t was
discussed in detail, and a variety of call
culations made in regard to it's appliance
The conductors did not participate in
the conference as the question of their
wages has been disposed of to their salts
faction. The trainmen were largely re-
presented, and their affairs will be taken
up tomorrow.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, April n.-Every
man in the car shops OF the Central
railroad of New Jersey, at Ashley, struck
at noon today, because Supt. Thomas re-
fused to reinstate thirty employees who
had been laid off a few days ago. The
employees claimed that the men were dis
charged because they were prominent
in the labor union, while Supt Thomas
said it was because of slack work. The
| employees held a meeting last night and
decided to strike at noon today unless
the men were taken back
A commtte waited on Supt. Thomas to-
day. He told the members that he could
not take the men back at this time. but
if business improved he would probably
find places for them. This answer was
not satisfactory to the men, and strike
order was issued.
When the whistle blew at one o'clock
not men in the car department went
to work
