the question is submitted to the people
for q vote. 1t came up on the order
for engrossment and third reading, and
Mr.. Collins, a Democratic member, NOV
ed to postpone action until next Tuesday,
and make it a special order for that
day. The motion was only defeated by
close vote of Sc to 81. Alfred Cook, the
Democratic member from Marathon coun-
ty, whose seat Gilbert E. VandereOok
is contes ting, lodged the antf-pass issue
in manner which is likely to count
against him when the assembly votes on
the contest next Wednesday. He was
not in his seat when the question came
up, but came in during the roll call. Mr..
Rossman asked that Cooks vote be Re
corded. but the latter asked to be excused
on the ground that he did not know what
was going or. Speaker Ray explained the
situation, bat Mr.. Cook still asked to be
excused from voting, and he did not vote.
The incident caused considerable unfav-
orahle comment among Cooks friends, as

The railroad lobbyists have other things
besides the taxation and 2-cent-fare bills
to keep them busy. One is the bill intro
duced by Assemblyman McCabe, of Mil
waukee, which provides that an en-
ploye who is accidentally injured shall
not be debarred from recovering dam
ages because the accident was caused by
contributory negligence on his part. I'm
der the present law contributory negli-
gence is practically a bar to recovery
Mr.. McCabe's bill would give the injured
party half of the damages he would
have been entitled to if he had not con-
tributed to the negligence. The bill, of
course, affects manufacturers, lumber
men and other large employees of labor,
as well as the railroad companies, ana
there Is likely to be a strong fight
against it.
The effort to reduce railroad fares will
have a much better chance of success in
this than In past legislatures. Four bills
reducing passenger rates are now before
the assembly railroad committee. One
makes straight 2-cent fare on all roads
in the state, two call for a 2-cent fare
on roads which earn over $500 a mile,
and a fourth compels railway companies
to sell 1,000-mile books for $50. 1t Is be-

be favorably reported by the committee,

W - semitic 10 AAS 1AC-
tion in Kings Case.
The refusal of the senate to confirm
the reappOintment of John Z. King, of
Mobiles, as a member of the staff board
of equalization, does not seem to have
given the same satisfaction to some of
the more prominent state Republicans,
as snat derived by Senator Dan Shell and
a few others, who were bending all their
accepted by the senate. There are these
who appear to believe that if Senator
Shell did have personal antlpathy for
Mr.. King, the latter'S valuable services
to the state, as a member of the board,
should have taken precedence, and kept
him at his place for another term at
least.
State Auditor Dunn is one who evident
" sees in the services of Mr.. King more
of good than the mere act of satisfying
the personal enmity Of one man. Mr..

MINE SCALE CONFERENCE.
Committee in Session at COIumbu,
Makes No Frogress.

Makes No Progress.
COLUMBUS O., Feb. fat the end of
the third days session of the scale COM
mittee of the Joint interstate coal con
ference it can be said the miners and
operators are no nearer an agreement
than when the conference met. The IL
inois operators have again broken over
the traces and voted with miners and
are now in line with them on the de-
mands for run of mine scale and uni
form day wage in the mines of Jackson
county, Ohio. The committee went into
session at the Chittenden MOTEL at 2
o'clock this afternoon, and resumed the
discussion of uniform day wage Tor all
outside employees. On the vote the min
erS We're for and the operators against
the demand. 1t was the same with the
demands for a 30-per-cent advance for all
underground employees, for e gnt hours 10
constitute days work, the time en-
ployed going into and coming out of the
mine to be included for the check-off
by the operators of all dues and that mar
row work be paid for the same as entry
work.
The ninth proposition, that the same
day wage scale prevail in Jackson coun-
ty, Ohio, as in other states, provoked
long discussion. Operator Harry GaylJr
led the fight for the miners, and there
were several heated arguments between
him and Fl. l.. Chapman, one of the
jackson operators. The inside day labor
in Jackson county is paid on a slf1iHg
scale, predIcated on the price paid tor
mining, and under present conditions is
$1.65. This agreement was made between
operators and miners in 1886. The opera
tors insist that the question is a local
one in that district, and that the joint
conference has nothing to do with it.
On the vote the Illinois operators SIDED
with the miners the other stVEes stand
ing with the Jackson county operators.
The committee adjourned at $50 O'Clock
Both miners and operators say that
some agreement will be reached on the
eight-hour demands, of which there are
three. Just what this will be they say
has not yet been decided. This part of
the scale will be reported to the confer
ence on Wednesday, if present plans are
carried out: Indiana operators oppose
most bitterly the proposition That, as a
compromise Indiana be allowed to con-
tinue with Ohio and Pennsylvania. They
say that they will not agree to such a
compromise. The delegates, both miners
and operators, We're entertained this
evening with a banquet and smoker by
the Hooking valley operators and the
Jeffrey Manufacturing company. Speech
es were made by the leading miners and
operators, and the best of good feeling
seemed to prevail.

Anti-Canteen Provision of New
Army Layv Placed in Effect.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The first gen
eral order issued by the war department
in execution of the provisions of the
army reorganization act directs the dis
continuance of the sale of beer, wine ard
Intoxicating liquors on all military res
ervations and army transports. The order
was issued today, and is very terse and
concise III its terms.
After reciting the anti-canteen provision
of the law, the order proceeds:
'.Commanding officers will Immediately
carry the provisions of this law into full
force and effect, and will be held strictly
responsible that no exceptions or eva
sions are permitted within their respective
Jurisdictions
Although the order makes no special
reference to the military reservations at
Fort Monroe, Virginia and West Point,
n. Y, it is stated at the war department
that under the terms of the law it will
be necessary to discontinuee the sale of
all intoxicating liquors on those reserva-
items, and that the bars in the hotels at
Fort Monroe and in the hotel at West
Point will have to be closed at once.

KAIsER's CANAL BILL.
Small Chance of Its Passage in tbs.
Present Diet.

Present Diet.
BERLIN. Feb. An the lower house
Of the diet today the discussion of the
canal bill was opered. The minister Of
public works, Herr Thielen, in intro
dU1ing the measure. said the object was
te bring about a reapproehement between
the east and west, promote the sale Of
their products both at home and abroad
and to increase the defensive power of
the country.
IF the canal is built said the min
lister, "tlle country will enjoy both land
and water communication such as no
other state around us possesses"
During today's first reading of the
canal bill in the diet it was interesting to
note that in spite of the speeches favor
ing the canal delivered by DIR. MIGUEL
minister of finance and Herr Tielen, who
showed the unFeasonableness of the
counter arguments, speakers representing
the majority parties, namely both Of the
Conservative group, the Center and the
National Liberals pronounced them
selves strongly against the canal in the
present shape of the bill, even after DR..
Miguel had plainly limited that III case OF
another repetition of the measure the diet
would be dissolved.
Count Won Limburg- Stierum, the Con-
servative who led the opposition, ironi-
eaily said that if 1t were true the canal
would cheaper the transportation of
troops, provisions and supplies in case of
war, then the empire ought to literally
contribute towards its construction.

it will receive the necessary two-thirds

day, and one man says he can get two
more votes for it if all its other friends
combined will get the remaining four.
The fact that the senate was not ready
on Friday to consider in it's regular order
the bill to reduce the exemptions, but
put the matter over until Wednesday, in
d1cates that the measure will meet OPP
position. The persons who are urging it
are representatives of the Retail Mer-

they advance is that it will increase their
personal credit with jobbers and manu-
facturers.

KIDNAPPING BILL PASSES
REPRESENTATIVE SWEETS MEAS
URE APPROVED BY THE
HOUSE
LAW MATERIALLY AMENDED
Penalty OF Twenty Years Provided
for the Abduction of Amy Child
Less Than Sixteen Years
of Age.

The house, in its twenty minute session
last night, passed the Sweet kidnapping,
bill, which was introduced during the
drSt week OF the term. The measure, it
Is supposed. will have no trouble getting
through the upper house as it seems to
have met with general favor thus far
from all quarters.
The bill amends the present statutes
IN two essential features. It provides
the penalty of twenty years imprison-
ment instead of half that time, imposed
by the old law, for the abduction of any
child less than sixteen years of age,
whereas the statute now in force pre-
scTibes that kidnapping shall apply to
children less than the age of twelve.
The new law viii have been the i'm
mediate outgrowth of the interest
aroused by The recent Cudahy kidnapirg
at Omaha. It is a conviction that seems
to be quite general that ten years in the
states prison is far too light a sentence
to impose for a crime so grave.
Cities of $4,000 population and over.
will, under a bill introduced by Mr.
Dunn, Of Ramsey, have the power to
purchase land tracts of not less than
ten acres for parks or parkways, if the
measure succe eds in making its way
through the two houses, the bill con-
tains prov ision that during no year
shall the expenditures for the park or
parkway burden the tax levy more than
$780,
The purport of the bill is obviously to
benefit only st. Paul. Minneapolis and
Duluth.
