No EVIDENCE O BRIBERY
MEETING OF COMMITTEE OF IN
VESTIGATION WAS BARREN
OF RESULTS
HOUSE NOT YET SATISFIED
Members Who Made the Charges Can
Hardly Hope to Escape
Without Gem
sure.

Chairman Mallory, of the bribery in
Vestigation committee, is expected to
make his report in the house this morn
Ing. meeting of the committee was
held yesterday at which, it is said all
the evidence which the committee has
been able to obtain was adduced. 1hls
evidence is understood to be of such a
character that will deter any man In
the house from baSing charge Of bri-
berry upon it.
From the time the committee was ap-
pointed until the present it has been
practically impossible to get from Mr..
Mallory, or any of his associates on the
committee, any information as to what
was being done. Perhaps the reason for
this was that nothing was being done.
At any rate 1t was said yesterday that
the meeting held during the day was
the only formal one that had been held.
At this meeting it is understood mir.
Jacobson appeared and delivered to the
committee the affidavit which he pro-
claimed was in his possession at the time
he made his fatal charge, and which he
tntimated would be all that was neces-
sary to convict certain members In the
house of bribery. The contents of this
affidavit is the conversation which took
place on the street between Representa-
tive Washburn and Representative
Hogan, in which, it is said the latter
told his colleague from Minneapolis that
he heard that there was $500 in it, for
any one who would vote against the bill
When the committee started out on
its work the house was given to under
stand that it would be able to gather
wadS of evidence of the most incriminat-
ing character, but now it appears that
signal failure in this respect has been
experienced and the Washburn-Hogan
conversation, which stops a long ways
short of the convicting line, is all that
has been landed by the six men appoint-
ed to make the investigation The re-
sponsibility of not increasing the su- pl !
does not rest with the committee, how
ever, is the geReral belief.
What action the house will take re-
garding the men who made the charges,
providing their accusations fall to the
ground, is not definitely known. OF
course, hut there is a determination to
not allow the matter to rest here. A
reporter for he G o b e was assured
yesterday by prominent member OF the
house that unless Messrs jacobson and
Washburn were fully sustained In their
ringing charges of bribery by the report
OF the committee they would have to
face the other side of the proposition.
which will perhaps be no more pleasant
to them than the odium of their charges
have been to the house.
Whether proceedings of Impeachment
will be begun the gentleman would not
state, but he declared that the repre-
sentatives would not escape without
some sort of severe censure. The
charges were of a very serious character
and, If they are not sustained the opin-
ion is that the house should administer
correction commensurate with the
gravity Of the accusations y

Old Churchyards.

Notes and Queries
1t would appear that certainly so early
as about A. ID. $50 spaces Of ground ad-
joining churches were incloSed and con-
secrated for burial, and by a canon of
the ninth century every grave was to be
esteemed sacred, to be adorned with the
sign Of the cross. and places appropriated
to religious assemblies, to be preserved
from trespass and violation by dogs and
cattle. Many churchyards have his
terry far older than the church which
stands in them, being originally places
appropriated to religious assemblies di-
vine service being performed there, until
at length the church was added for
greater honor and convenience. 1t has
been noted as a curious fact that in a
large majority of cases the churchyards
are on the north side of the church and
or the north side of the road leading to
them. There is a superstition among
many old-fashioned folk that the north
side of the churcnyard is less sacred than
the rest of the consecrated ground. 10
be buried there" wrote Duradus, the
great fourteenth century ecclesiastic, lis,
in the language of the Eastern countries,
to be buried out of sanctuary" Hence
the position was largely appropriated to
the graves of suicides, unbaptized per-
sons and eXcommunicateS.

Letters which have reached here say the
Beers who arrived at Lisbon on board
transports, Friday, from Delagoa bay,
were accorded a splendid reception, con-
trasting with the coolness of the pop
ular reception Of the ministers, headed
by Earl Darlington, sent to Lisbon to
formally notify King Charles of the
death of Queen Victoria, and the Access
5ion of King Edward VII to the throne
o. Great Britain and Ireland. The hour
selected for the landing of the Beers
was kept secret but nevertheless a large
crowd was present and acclaimed the
travellers, a majority of whom were
European volunteers. The party, num-
bering 700 persons, was escorted to their
quarters by Portuguese infantry in the
vicinity of the forts near Lisbon The
Boer officers are allowed 400 reis, and
the rank and file are allowed SO reis

The leading Boer general, Peinaar,
wept on leaving his men. He was much
hurt because his comrades gave him the
cold shoulder during the voyage on ac-
count of his refusing to destroy the
Komatipoort bridge when they crossed
the frontier, notwithstanding that he
acted on the instructions of President
Kruger
Four Beers died during the voyage,
and forty-tive sick men were taken to

REPORT ON CONVICT LABOR.
Committee Recommends That Twine
Factory lie Retained

The commission appointed by Gov
Lind during his administration to inves-
tigate the question of convict labor in
the prisons of the East, made it's report
to the legislature yesterday in the shape
OF bill introduced by Senator Baldwin.
Members of the commission were Sena-
tors Baldwin and Somerville and Dr. w.
w. FolWell of the state university.
The bill provides for the continuance
of the twine manufacturing Industry at
the state prison, and the employment
thereat of all able-bodiea life prisoners
and those who are serving a second or
subsequent term who are disinclined to-
reformation. To the board of control Is
delegated the authority, and it is direct
ed to cause to be manufactured by pris-
oners at the state prison and reforma-
tory, as fast as possible all articles used
in the prisons and other state institu-
tions, such articles to be sold state insti-
tutions at regular market price and to
be given the preference Capable teach
ers shall-be employed in the prison to
teach the convicts the manufacturing
art. Reformatory prisoners shall spend
a part of their time in learning some
useful trade, for which capable teachers
shall be provided by the state. To carry
out the provisions of the act $25,O01 is
appropriated for use in the prison and
like sum is to be expended at the re-
fCrmatOrV.

sultan,s Bagpipes.

It would appear that the sultan of
Morocco has become deeply fascinated
with Highland music. His love for the
bagpipes. for Scottish music, and for the
tartan is simply unique for one who is
not native of Scotland. Ten years ago
a piper became one of the institutions
at his court, and very recently he com
missioned a well-known Glasgow pipe
maker TO furnish him with a set of bag
pipes for his own use, Possibly this set
of pipes how furnished is the most or
nate and costly that has ever been made
in Scotland They are mounted with IS
carat gold, and cost $500. The credit of
introducing both the bagpipes and the
Highland dress to the notice of the sui
tan is, no doubt, largely to the influence
of Kaid Maclean, one of the chief officers
of the court of his majesty.

SENATORS OBJECT TO IT
Majority of Teachers Said to Look
Measure With Disfavor--Hal-
vorson Introduces Another
Anti-Cigarette Measure.

Although yesterday was the last day
for the Introduction Of bills, only twenty,
five were presented in the senate A
motion to pass over the calendar failed
of passage but the difficulty in keeping
members enough in their seats to pass
bill resulted in the Iassage of only two
measures one OF them. the McKusick
bill to amend the general laws of 1885
relating to the tax levy rate for state
and county, and the other the Shell bill
to reimburse a Mobiles county village for
expenses incurred in stamping out an
infectious disease. The latter bill carried
with 1t an appropriation of 5000.
The McGill bill to establish and main
tain retirement fund for teachers in
cities and school districts, by taxing
the educators per cent of their monthly
salaries, was killed. 1t will, however
be reconsidered. Senator Stockwell, OF
Hennepin, declared that there was little
demand Tor it OH the part of teachers
but that principals who would be most
likely to be its benifcaries, had practical
ly established an unwritten law that
teachers must favor the scheme. He
said the bill was absurd, and questioned
the right of any school board to tacitly
say to teacher that in order to get a
position. she must contribute 1 per cent
OF her salary to fund for the retirement
of the few teachers who would be bene-
fitted by it. Were the majority of the
teachers for the measure, he was still
against it on behalf of the minority
lie stated that there was nc demand for
the measure in Duluth, for instance
and asked the country members to pro-
test by voting against it.
Senator Snyder favored the bill and
Senator Wilson called the attention OF
the Hennepin man that Duluth had It's
own able representative upon the tioor
of the senate He appealed to Senator
Baldwin, who said he had never heard
the measure discussed by the teachers
of Duluth, nor had any word come from
them with regard to it. He was opposed
to the bill, in its present form. and said
he would support it if amended so as 10
exempt those who did not care to be
taxed. The bill mustered 26 "ayes," and
was lost.
Senator Schaller introduced by request
bill to appropriate SSCo for a bronze
bust of the late Ignatius Donnelly, to be
placed in the library of the state histor-
ical society.
Undaunted BY the death of his former
cigarette bill, Senator Halvorson intro
duced another and a like measure yes
terday. The new bill simply makes the
selling or giving away of cigarettes or
cigarette paper misdemeanor.

and the island of Mindanao the Philip
pine commission has about decided to or

sayaS
Uniform general provincial law is i'm
possible of application in the extreme
southern islands on account of the neces-
sary debarring of the Moros from self
government. except in cases where they
have foresworn allegiance to the datos
and the sultan and become subjects Of
the United States. and for the further
reason of the multiplicity of races and
tribes of Mindanao and the diversity of
interests. The commission will appoint
a department governor having authority
to negotiate with the sultan and datoS.
and to act as direct representatives OF
the commission.
The commission will sail tonight for

Keen Your chiIdren BUSY

Keep your children busy If you would
have them happy. When the occupation
is some daily labor which has been wisely
allotted, see that it IS accomplished as
well as it is possible for the child to ac-
compllsh it under existing circumstances.
But whether it be in work or play, let
him understand that no matter how well
he may have done today--and do not be
chary of your praise-he has within him
self that which Will make it possible for
him to do still better tomorrow This
treatment, instead of discoura ging, will
encourage, by melting the child toward
ever better work, and will early implant
that spirit of divine discomfort which
allows of no absolute satisfaction in that
which has been accomplished until the
achievement reaches perfection This Is
the discomfort which Emerson breaches
and which is holy if doubt is not allowed
to creep in to mar the aspiration.-Ger-
