BRUCE WILL WAIT AWHILE.
Emmert Will Hold Contest
ed Seat.

ed Seat.
Des Moines. Feb. 2S.-A decided
change of sentiment regarding the
-Emmert contest for seat in
the senate was developed at the ses.
sion of that body yesterday. Senator
Emmert had gone home, satisfied that
he was to be unseated. The three
republicans OH the contest committee
had agreed on report adverse to him
and seating Bruce. The democrats
in the senate, Disguised and not at
all resigned, had about given up the
fight. They asked only that the demo
Gratis on the contest committee be at
least permitted to file an explanation
of their position and have it in the
journal. Because this privilege was
opposed by the majority of the COM
mittee the whole case has been re.
opened, sent back to the committee,
Senator Emmert telegraphed for to
come back to his seat and the entire
affair seems about as far from settle.
ment as ever.
The question came up on the SEN
ate floor yesterday morning when the
contest committee reported. The ma
jority, composed of Crossley, Smith
and Molsberry, republicans, favored
seating Bruce. republican. The min
GRITTY. Ball and Lyons, dissented and
presented dissenting report declar-
ing thai Pleasant township, Cass
county. should have been thrown out
and Emmert should have been seat
ed. In support of this the minority,
in carefully prepared statement writ
ten by Senator Ball, discussed the
question. When the reports were filed
the minority asked that it's statement
be printed in the journal.
The majority of the committee OPP
posed this on the ground that the
minority report was not plain state
ment of dissent, but an argument and
presentation of some of the pur-
ported evidence. Against this there
was a vigorous argument by Healy,
Trewin, Porter, Garst, Dowell, Blanch-
ard and others. 1t became evident that
the disposition of the body was to give
the majority a fair showing. Points
of order and questions Of precedence
and even constitutionality were raised
in rapid succession. The debate took
wide range and when it was evil
dent that action would be almost i'm
possible Porter moved that the whole
matter be sent back to the commit
tee. This carried viva voce and the
question will not come before the
senate again till next week.

CONFEREES HAVE AGREED
REPORT ON PHILIPPINE TARIFF
BILL ARRANGED.
House Accepts All But One of Mater.
ial Amendments Made by Senate.


ial Amendments Made by Senate.
Washington, March 3.-The con-
ferees of the two houses of congress
on the Philippine tariff bill reached an
agreement after one sitting, the rep
resentatives of the house accepting all
but one of the material amendments
made by the senate.
The amendment which was not ac-
cepted is that imposing the tonnage
taxes of the United States upon for
eign vessels engaged in interisland
traffic in the Philippines.
The house conferees also refused to
accept the proviso connected with the
senate amendment limiting the opera
ton of the sedition laws of the Phil
ippines, leaving that provision to de-
clare simply that no person in the
Philippine island shall under the au-
thority of the United States be con-
victed of treason by any tribunal, civil
or military, unless on the testimony of
two witnesses to the same overt act,
or on confessions in open court"
The part stricken out exempted
members of a family from punishment
for failing to give information con,
corning the reasonable acts of one
another.
The senate reduction of 25 per cent
on the rate of duty is retained.

WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Has Already Passed Large Number
of Measures,

Des Moines, March 3.-The legis-
lature has now been in session about
seven weeks, and only twenty-eight
bills have passed both houses. This
is not fair index of the amount of
work done, however, as the greater
part of the time has been devoted to
committee work, and the calendars of
both houses are we'll filled with bills.
and great many more will be report
ed out by the different committees in
the next week or two. Besides the
twenty eight bills that have been pass
ed by both houses, the senate has
passed thirty bills and the house
forty-seven. Altogether the senate
has passed fifty-eight bills, besides
two joint resolutions for woman suf-
frage and biennial elections. The
house has passed seventy-five bills.
The houses are both ready for bust
ness now, and great many measures
will be disposed of during the next
few weeks.
No bills of any great Importance
have been passed by both houses.
Perhaps the most important are the
cherokee appropriation bill, the bills
changing the date of assessing rail-
roads and express companies, the bill
by Wilson, of Buena Vista, removing
the $4,000 limit on the filing fees of
articles of incorporation, and the bill
appropriating $1,000 to replace prop.
erty to be destroyed at Tama Indian
reservation on account of small pox
Thus far $50 bills have been intro
duced in the house and 2S9 in the SEN
ate. A great many have been dispos-
ed of by the committees and great
many more will be. Bills introduced
from this time on unless of paramount
Importance, stand very little show of
ever getting out of the committees to
which they will be referred, and if they
do will only get on the calendar in
time to be swept off by the sitting
committee 1t is conceded by all that
the legislature must work from this
time on in order to get through by the
middle of April.

improved Educational
System.

Among the plans which Bishop Res
tarick has for the advancement of his
diocese is one of making st. Andrews
Priory. and also the Episcopal school
for boys. institutions which will tend to
give the pupils educational advantages
here equal to those to be obtained in
similar schools on the mainland. At
present the bishops plan is to have the
Priory open on September 8. The teach
ers viii include Miss Evelyn Vile, a
graduate of the State Normal School Of
California; Miss Hortense Leffingwell,
a graduate of St. Mary's, Knoxville,
Ill. and Miss Beatrice Young Of Homo
lulu. Mrs Louise f. Folsom, who has
had large experience, win be the
| house mother, and viii also be in full
charge of the girls who board at the
Priory while attending the normal
school: Miss Charlotte Teggart will be
the registrar, and any letters in regard
| to the Priory may be addressed to her
| In speaking of the future of the Pri-
| cry, Bishop Restarick said yesterday
| that the intention is to carry on the
school at present on the same lines as
before Considerable money. however,
will be expended in the Improvement
of the buildings, and the new faculty
hopes to retain all the old pupils and
gain a large number of new ones. Sis
| tiers Beatrice and Albertina will reside
| in a cottage on the school grounds, and
will try by their influence and advice
to help on the institution.
The boys school, conducted by the
Rev. Frank Titz, will continue as be-
fore. The bishop, however has IN mind
plans for an extension of the school,
both as to buildings and advanced
studies, but as yet has not had time to
take the matter under consideration.
Rev Arthur Evans. rector of the
Church of the Ascension of Los An
geles, will leave in the CIaudine next
Tuesday for Hilo at the bishops re-
quest, look over the situation, and re-
port as to the advisability of starting
work in that city. AS soon as practic-
able the bishop will make an extended
visit to Hawaii, and take steps to fill
vacancies there.
Bishop Restarick will have for his
residence a comfortable house, No. 1856
Reretania avenue, between Piikoi and
Keeaumoku streets. He will preach
tomorrow morning in st. Peters chapel

Glaciers Passing Away.

According to Professor Forel, who
has made a special study of the Alpine
glaciers during the past twenty-five
years, the day of the glacier is gone.
They are deteriorating slowly, but with
steady persistence, and diminution be-
comes more marked from year to year
There is only one exception to this
rule-that of Bowler, in the valley of
Entremont, which since 1892 has
shown continuous growth. The fam
GUS glaciers of the Rhone have shrunk
T65 meters since 1874, or an average of
twenty-nine meters a year. Many
