congrrss,nen nn, wisconsin and North
Dakota Quo Each.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-By a vote Of
1865 to lo2 the house has accepted the re.
apportionment plan proposed by the
Burleigh bill, which increases the
membership Of the house during the
decade from Soi. the present member
ship ;.ud the membership proposed by
the committee in the Hopkins bill, to
SS6. The result was brought about
by the influence of certain senators
from several larger Northern states,
who threw the weight of their influ.
ence in the scale in favor of the larger
membership. When it became appar.
ent that those factors were at work
against his bill Mr.. Hopkins attempted
to compromise by giving an additional
representative each to North Dakota,
Colorado and Florida, but his adverse.
rles refused to compromise after com.
plete victory was assured. The Crum-
packer proposition to recommit the bill
for the purpose Of ascertaining what
states abridged the right to vote to an
extent that would entail the reduced
representation was defeated by lS0 to
ITO. There was no roll call on this
vote, but q number of
Republicans Voted With the Democrats.
By the bill as passed no state loses a
represen tative and the following make
gains: Illinois, New York and Texas,
three each; Minnesota, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. two each, and Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts,,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Washington. West Vir.
ginia and Wisconsin, one each. The
bill provides that whenever o new
state is admitted the representation
assigned to it shall be in addition to
the number provided in the bill. It
also adds a provision never hitherto in.
corporated i'll roapportionment bill to
the effect that congressional districts,
in addition to being ''contiguous," :"
shall also be. Compact" States which
are allowed additional representatives
by the bill shall by its terms elect them
at large until the legislature shall re-
district the state.

that he had a right to take the 50
and apply it to an old account
against Mrs. Edwards, which she
had disputed.
Last Wednesday afternoon Mr..
Barnes appeared in the local police
court and sWore out a warrant for
the arrest of Mrs. Edwards for vio-
lating section 68l3 OF the Minnesota
statutes, which protects liverymen
against renters of rigs who refuse
to pay, making the same misde-
meanor. This warrant Mr. Barnes
was anxious to serve, he being a
deputy sheriff. Sheriff Small de-
Sclined to grant the request, saying
that if the warrant was served it
would besdone BY himself, or an
other deputy than Mr.. Barnes. r.
s. Pickett, the jailor, was finally
agreed upon and Messrs. Pickett
and Barnes left for Renville the
same night, arriving there about
midnight, compelling Mrs. Edwards
to get up and dress and come back
to Redwood Falls with them The
trip from Renvi1le to Redwood was
anything but a rain bow affair, judg-
ing from Mr.. Pickett's statements.
Arriving here Mrs. Edwards was

opposed wheat farming on the
ground that the farmer was selling
