MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.
The House VIII Probably Vote OF
the Tax Bill To-day.

The House VIII Probably Vote ON
the Tax Bill To-day.
st. Paul, Feb. 25.-The great battle II
the house on the tax code will probably
come off to-day. 1t would have come
yesterday afternoon had not the tax
law advocates filibustered until ad-
journment to delay vote. They talked
In relays. The situation was peculiar.
The house has 11S members, but only
about 100 were present yesterday; the
rest had not returned from the holiday
aud Sunday recess. The passage of the
tax bill needs sixty votes. a majority OF
the whole membership. The tax advo-
Gates had not the sixty votes. so their
game was to delay vote until To-Day
ip the hope that among the absentees
there would be enough to give them the
requisite number.
The third reading of the tax code
Was begun soon after 2 2'o'clock. and
was concluded in less than an hour A
conference of the tax code leaders had
been held in the meantime, and as 1T
was certain they could not secure the
necessary sixty votes during the after
noon, the order was to talk away the
remainder of the day.
Representative Pennington secured
thn adoption Of an amendment provld-
ing that not more than two members
OF the ak commission shall be OF the
same political party.
Representative Jacobson pleaded
that more time should be allowed for
debate. a
The motion for the previous ques-
tion was lost by vote Of 81 to Sc.
Many of the opponents Of the bill
Were not in the hall when the vote was
taken, and Sherman Smith demanded
call of the house. A motion to ad-
journ intervened, which was carried by
a vote Of 67 to IS.

PERMITTED TO PARTI-
CIPATE.
WnICE CAUSES A SHARP DEBATE
WELLINGTON AND M'COMAs he
COME INVOLVED IN A HEATED
CONTROVERSY.

Washington, Feb. 25. - After eight
he urs Of tumultuous debate yesterday
tn. serate passed the Philippine tariff
bill by a vote of 46 to 26, a strictly
party vote. Mr. Tillnan and Mr.. Nc
Laurin, the two senator's from South
Carolina, who on Saturday last We're
declared by the senate to be in con-
tempt because Of their fight in the
chamber, were not permitted by voice
or vote to participate in the proceed
ings. The question as to their right
to vote precipitated a sharp debate
lasting nearly two hours. Mr.. Turner
(Dem. Wash.) contended vigorously
for the right of the two senators to
cast their votes, and he was sustained
by Mr.. Patterson of Colorado, Mr..
Bailey of Texas and other Democrats.
They held that even though the two
senators were actually under arrest
and in the custody of the sergeant-at-
arms, they could demand that they be
allowed to vote, as the senate had not
passed on their case.
Mr.. Foraker Mr.. Aldrich and other
Republicans held that the senators
clearly could not participate in any of
the proceedings of the senate until they
had purged themselves Of contempt
and the senate had removed the ban
placed on them.
The president pro tenn, Mr.. Frye,
held that the two senators could not
vote and he was sustained by ma
jority Of the senate. 4
During the debate on the Philippine
bill Mr.. McComas and Mr.. Wellington
Of Maryland became involved in a con-
troversy during the course Of which
the latter declared that If Mr.. Nc
Comas should make his statements
lsoutside5 the senate chamber lie r4suld
brand them as a malicious falsehood.
He was called to order promptly and
resumed his seat amid considerable ex-
element.
Many amendments We're offered to
the Philippine bill, but EXCEPT those Of
fered by the committee only one, an
amendment restricting the operation Of
the sedition laws enacted by the Taft
commission. was passed.
In the House.
The house yesterday passed bill to
divide Texas into four judicial districts
and also the Tawney resolution calling
on the secretary of war for information
concerning the transfer Of sugar LANDS
IN COOa since the AUlcIACnA OSSApeA-
ton. 1t then transacted some business
pertaining to the District of Columbia
and later took UP the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill. The bill
carries an appropriation of $1,931 ,67S
an increase Of sS2,95O over last year. 1t
was made the vehicle for speeches on
trusts, coinage and other irrelevant
matters. The galleries were packed all
day in anticipation Of Prince Henry's
visit. = fI
when Prince Henry entered the gal
lery of the house he was loudly ap-
plauded, some yenturing to give vent
to cheers. Prince Henry gracefully
bowed and was then showed to his seat
by Mr.. Hit Of Illinois. He remaSied
for fifteen minutes, during which TIM
he evinced the greatest interest In the
proceedings. He was loudly applauded
as he left the chamber.
Without disposing Of the pending bill,
the house at 4:2O adjourned.

Incenaed Because Prince Henry Din
ner Invitation Is withdrawn.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Tillman
of South Carolina, who was not present
at the dinner given at. the White
House in honor of Prince Henry of Prus-
sia, believes that the presidents with
drawal Of the invitation is an insult, and
indicated tfiat re might resort 1T aftct
the manner that is employed in Prince
Henry's country, by challenge to mortal
combat. 1t is confidently expected lthat
Mr.. Tillman will ask to settle his dtf-
ferences with Senator McLaurin en- the
field Of honor, and 1t may be that he will
include President Roosevelt in the list
! of those who are to be slain for honor's s
sake. ST..
Mr.. Tillman,s recent alteration with
Senator McLaurin on the floor of the SEN

both to the senate and to Prince Henry.
to allow Mr.. Tillman to be among the
guests on this occasion.
The president sent for Senator Cock
rell this afternoon and asked him as a
friend and Democratic colleague of Sen
ator T;llman to urge upon the latter the
propriety of withdrawing his acceptance
of the dinner invitation. Senator Till
man raved at the suggestion, and fatty
declined to cancel the engagement. This
fact was communicated to the president
by Senator Cockrell.
President Roosevelt, on receiving this
message, at once directed a note to Mr.
Tillman, in which he stated briefly that
he regretted that he was compelled to
withdraw his invitation.
Lux Hints at a Duel.
senatort Tillman, discussing the with
drawal Of the invitation said: ''As I am
not conscious Of having done anything
personal or official which gives the presi-
dent the right to insult me, am sur
sprised at his action, Prince Henry, the
presidents guest, comes from q country
where custom makes it obligatory upon

man to promptly resent an insult and
the method is by challenge to a duel.

me guilty of conduct unbecoming gem

would have done Just as did under the

REMARKABLE RECORD.

Postmaster Who Has Served Contin-
uounly for Forty-Fiyc Years.
Dubuque, Iowa, Feb. 26.-The postof-
flee at Campton, Delaware county.
Iowa, is to be discontinued. 1t has a
unique record. On Sept. 1. 1857, A. V.
Brown was appointed postmaster, and
has held the office ever since. His COM
mission has never been revoked; the
men who signed his bonds are still
alive and on his bond. His wife has
been his deputy through all these
years, and the Office is still in the
building where it was first located IN
1857. He is believed to be the Oldest
postmaster in Iowa. Owing to rural
mail delivery the office will be dropped
from the list.
