Sword of Frederick the Great. +:
The sword presented by Frederick the
Great to George Washington had been
taken from the state library and placed

ever be guarded as the gife Of one great
general to another.
The prince was escorted to the senate
chamber, where the galleries were
thronged. SE
Prince Henry entered with Senator
Horace White, nephew of Ambassador
White, American representative in the
German empire. Arriving in front of the
senate desk Prince Henry and his escort
remained standing while Lieut. enant Gov.
ernor Woodruff descended from his ros-
trum and greeted his royal highness. He
then escorted the prince to his desk and
thus welcomed him:
1t is a high official privilege and very
great personal pleasure to present the senate

can republic to his royal highness, Prince
Henry of Prussia, whose diplomacy and
cordial good fellowship have accomplished a
peaceful conquest of the United States equal
to any of the historic victories won by the
sword Of the house of Hohenzollern in! the
lands beyond the seas.
Prince Henry was given warm ovation
and expressed thanks for his reception.

empire state to extend to you most cordial
and kindly greeting. Your visit affords us an
especial pleasure and 1t indicates to us in a
most generous manner the feeling of good

your nation towards OURS. That the same
feeling of friendship exists upon part you
can have no better evidence than is Indicated
to you daily by the grand ovations you are
receiving. We also extend through you our
especial greeting to your imperial brother,
the emperor of the great German nation, and
trust you may convey to him report of in
teresting and enjoyable experiences here
| beg to present to you the members Of the

! ovations which I have received during my
stay in the United States am perfectly
aware of the fact that your nation means well
with ours and all can do is to report tn his
| majesty, the emperor, the kind manner in
which I have been received, not only here,
but during my stay in the United States. l
am deeply grateful for it and am not likely
| to forget it.
| The princes words were received with
/ applause and the visiting party was es-
corted from the chamber, and driven to
1 the station. All along the route the prince
was loudly cheered. The visitors left at

A Possibility That the Legis-
lature Will Start the
Movement.
The Smith Bill to That End
Has Passed the
House.
It Now Appears That the
Session Will End
Tuesday.

The legislature will conclude It's laDOrs
Tuesday morning if the senate agrees
with the house. A resolution by MT.
Allen passed the latter body this morn
ing without opposition fixing the date for
adjournment. This means that the ac-
tua,l work will be concluded Monday even
ing, and both houses will meet Tuesday
morning to approve the journal, box up
their stationery and say goodbye.
There is 4 bare possibility that this
legislature will after all start move
for constitutional convention. Sher-
man Smiths bill passed the house this
morning. 90 to II. 1t will get more votes
in the senate than the proposition re-
ceivcd last winter, but it must receive
AZ out of tie 60. It's friends claim to have
40 already and hope to secure the other
two.
The constitutional amendments are in
. the hands Of a conference committee. Re-
gardless of the house, the senate yester-
day evening passed the bill drawn by its
own judiciary committee and request ed
the house to agree to a conference. Sena-
tors Thompson, Wilson, Somerville, Young
and Schnller represent the senate. The
house agreed to the proposition this
morning. Speaker bowling had selected
commit tee and left the list on his desk.
G. w. Armstrong of Hennepin, who was
in the chair, named the committee in &C
cordance with the speakers memorandum.

of both committees, but in order to get a

The bills are very different. Each is
drawn as a single section to take the
place Of the first three sections of Arti
Gle 9. The house bill leaves the wides
latitude to the legislatu re, and its onl.
restriction is that taxes must be equa
on each class of property. The senate
bill practically re-enacts all that is in thu
present constitution, and adds to it two
sections. One permits the alternative o
franchise tax or a gross earnings tax OF
public service corporations The othe
provides an income tax on credits not tt
exceed 10 per cent. which are otherwise
to be exempt from taxation, and on in
comes over and above 81 900 per annun
at rate not to exceed 4 per cent. Boil
these sections are permissive and no
mandatory. The exemption section, how
ever, requires personal property ex
emption not to exceed $500 to one membe
of each family. The section is very lon
but will appear on the ballot as follows:
