simple reason that the balance of trade,
right here in Columbia, is overwhelm-

The Reform Party represents four

STAR CHAMBER SESSION
SUBCOMMITTEE ON REAPPORTION-
MENT "TALKS OVER FEW PRE-
LIMINARY MATTERS"
EXCLUDE FIRST DISTRICT MEN
State Likely to Be Sliced Up With
out Assistance From Residents
of Congressman Taw-
ney,s BaiIivIck.

The subcommittee on reapportionment
which, by the way, is a misnomer, since
the actual work of the committee de-
wolves upon this body, met yesterday
afternoon. For reasons that were not
disclosed the committee held a star
chamber session. This was done at the
Eehest of Second and Third district men,
bers, who propose to control, If possible,
the redistrictng of the state.
]. F. jacobson is a member of the
committee from the second and it was
he who cried loudest for the secret ses-
sion. AS soon as the meeting had been
called to order by Chairman Daugherty,
of the Sixth district Jacobson discover
ed that there were several representa-
tiveS of the press there and moved that
the session be executive, so that these
gentlemen might be excluded. There was
no opposition to the motion, which was
premeditated and the seven men COM
posing the committee, Senators Daugher-
ty, Jepson and J. D. Jones, and Repre-
sentatives Ferris Whitford, Benson and
Jacobson, were the only ones who wit
messed the proceedings.
The only information that could be
wrung from the committee after the
meeting was: 1--WE did nothing but talk
over few preliminary matters" No
plan for redistricting it was said was
presented or discussed
From the personnel of the committee.
it will be observed that it was made
up without any representative from the
First congressional district This of
caurse suggests that the state can he
sliced by the Republicans without the
aid of their friends from Congressman
Tawney's territory, for from the divers
plans submitted there is certainly every
reason to believe that it will be SLICED.
The First district people have already
expressed their views upon this subject,
but one gentleman who halls from that
section of the state took occasion yester-
day to add word to What might al
ready have been said He said:
This thing has come to a pretty pass,
when the First district members cannot
only not have q place on the committee.
but are even excluded from the meet
ings Of the committee. l was quite
anxious to attend this meeting, and I
think the motion of Jacobson was a
usurpation of power and very unfair
course to adopt. 1 do not believe that
the press are the only persons whom
this arbitrary action was designed to
affect 1t was taken, believe, with the
specific intention of shutting out any
First district member who might wish
to attend Oh, yes, 1 might have push

Senator Brewer received yesterday a
communication from his personal friend.
Senator e. c. Mills, of Superior. Wis,
which will prove of interest to, the dele
cation from the head Of the lakes.
1t advises the senator that the Wlscon-
sin legislature has passed aSlaw provid-
ing for the appointment OF ii legislative
commission of one senator and two as
semblymen to confer with a like com
mission from the state of Minnesota to
see whether the legislatures of the two
states cannot agree upon uniform rate
of taxation for vessels upon interstate
waters faf@
The Wisconsin senate has passed a bill
to license vessels at l cent per ton. in
stead of. the 3 cent rate in force-atz the
present time in Minnesota. Senator
Brewer is asked by Senator Mills to take
the matter up with the Duluth delega-
tion and try tC secure the appointment
of the commission suggested. Action. if
taken, must necessarily he hurried. and
if a. commission be appointed, the Wis
consin commission viii probably come to
ST. Paul. to confer with Minnesota on
Thursday afternoon.
1T is understood that Gov La Toilette.
of Wisconsin, is about to solicit the
good offices of Gov. Van SAINT in the mat
ter. ,..,,s- ,...
AS a vessel is credited to the port from
which she halls, and as She halls from
the port at which she is registered, it
can be easily seen that the passage
through the Wisconsin, house of the
measure which has already passed the
senate there, making tia law, will seri-
Ously affect the port of Duluth, as own
ers of vessels will surely take advantage
OF the one-third taxation when the ports
are so near to each other 49,
1t is probable that bill will be intro
duced today providing for the commission
for conference.

Barring the debate upon the Jepson
wine room bill and its subsequent death
at the hands Of the senate after it had
been mortally wounded, in committee of
the whole yesterday, the session was SO
dull as to be almost stupid
The senate took up general orders, with
Senator Baldwin In the chair, and all
went smoothly until the Jepson bill came
up Then the debate began
Senator Collier argued against the bill
on the ground that it would work hard
ship to country saloons which have res
taurant attachments, and on the ground
that it is in the power of cities to dis
pose Of the question by municipal en-
actment
Senator Ives wanted the privilege of
touching a button and having a drink
served to him in private. He dilated upon
the fact that Minneapolis might need
such a law as the Jepson measure, but
in St. Paul the wine room was no public
nuisance and, generally speaking, a good
thing
Senator Potter thought cities could care
for the matter according to their re-
spcctive lights He said he did not favor
wine rooms-far from it-but since Min
neapolis is amply protected, the supreme
court having held it's municipal ordinance
valid, he voted for postponement.
Senator Jepson manifested little con-
Germ over the fate of his bill, and said
that the supreme court ruling In the
Minneapolis ordinance would cover the
matter, and permit cities and towns to
take action upon the question. The bill
was indefinitely postponed by vote of
rs to II.
