AN OFF DAY
FOR SOLONS
Their Time Spent on Dog
Bill and Bobleter
Relief.
Sparks Will Fly in the House
Tomorrow Over ia
cobson's Bill.

This was day of small things in both
senate the Bobleter release bill was
passed and in the house most Of the morn-
ing was taken up with the dog bill. Tax
bills had an off day.
The opposing forces will clash in the
house tomorrow harder than ever. The
Jacobson bill is a special order for 1890
and promises two days battle. It is
understood to be the administration plan
for immediate tax reform.
The active opponents of this bill will be
the same men who fought the tax commits
sion bill. The St. Louis county delega-
ton will oppose the tonnage tax on iron
ore though many Of their constituents de-
sire the change. On the basis of Last
years output, this tax would raise $3.50, 900.
far more than was ever received from
these properties. State Auditor Dunn
opposes the tonnage tax and threatens
to assess the properties this year at
$50, 100000. He is only one member, how
ever, of the state board Of equalization,
which is the final authority.
The principal fight will be over the
franchise tax, which is lifted bodily from
the late tax code and embodies all its
provisions for collecting. It will be
fought by the same interests who opposed
the tax BILL They declare that tax on
the full value of stocks and bonds of the
public service corporations would amount
to confscatiOn.
The democratic members opposed the
tax bill, but their program included in
Mr.. Pennington's bill, provides for tax
on franchises and they are expected to
support the Jacobson bill. Mr.. Jacobson
and his allies are hopeful OF passing the
bill.
Action on the constitutional amend
ments still lags The bill prepared by the
house judiciary committee has not been
read the second time and, therefore, could
not be considered to-day The Jacobson
bill has the right of way and the house
cannot get at the amendments before
Monday. The senate subcommittee is
laboring to frame bill, and may get it
before that body ahead Of the action OF
the house. The senate will probably be-
gin consideration OF the question involved
in the proposed constitutional amend
ments on Monday morning. The sub
committee to which these amendments
have been referred met late this after
noon, and if they agree upon program
the amendments will be reported to the
full Judiciary committee Tomorrow. That
will make 1t possible for them to come
Saturday, if a session is held on that
day.

GUESSING ON HILL
James j., Mellen and Morgan Getting
'r Together.

New York, Feb. 27.-The almost sinful
taneous arrival in this city of President
Hill of the Great Northern road and
President Mellen of the Northern Pacific,
as we'll as the reported postponement Of
H. Harriman's trip to Mexico, gave rise
to considerable conjecture to-day. MT
Hill was not accessible at his office, but
representative of the company said that
there was no new feature to the Northern
Securities situation. Mr. Mellen was one
of Mr. Morgans early visitors, as was
also Vice President Lamont of the North
ern Pacific.
Mr.. Morgan, up to late hour, had not
seen Mr.. Hill. A representative Of Mr..
Hartman denied the truth of the report
that Mr.. Hartman would delay his trip
to Mexico. 1t is probable that Mr.. Har-
riman will cave not later than to-mor-

The week has been quiet one from
q social standpoint. The fact that 1t
was Holy Week made 1t quiet in many
circles and there were other attrac-
sions for those who did not observe
the week religiously, A popular show
has been on all the week at Fishers
Opera House and the theater goers
have attended this. There have also
been deaths and funerals. Then 1t has
been great political week. All in all,
it has been a had week for society
events.
But lull in social circles Is always
followed by activity and the next few
weeks win doubtless record many
things OF importance. Winter is break
ing and spring Is already in sight, and
the sunshine of day and balmy clear
evenings call out the ladies, and they
VIII flnd many things to break the
monotony. And in doing this the men
will, as usual. take hand. While
the club furnishes place of pleasant
resort to the men, vet night or two
every week in the social circles is a
much appreciated change.
Several things are on foot for the
future and will be announced in reg
ular order, but Sae that is looked
forward to with the greatest interest
by many is the entertainment to be
given by the Library Association. The
spinsters. drama given by the manage
ment two years ago was such q sue
cess that it was decided to repeat an
other installment Of the same kind Of
entertainment, and this time the sequel
will be given TO the former play. This
time II win be the Spinsters' Return
from Oklahoma, and the management
say, it will be better than the former
installment. The players are rehea1s-
ing right along and are said to have
their parts down to perfection.

SEAL ARBITRATION.
Details of The Hagne Decision In Favor
ot United States

ot United states
Washington. Dec. 1.-Reports from
United States Minister Newell at The
Hague of the details of the arbitration
of the Russian seal cases announced
last week have reached here. They
make it appear that on all substantial
points the arbitrator sustained the con-
tention of the United States. Two i'm
portant principles of international law
were established. In the case of the
Cape Horn Pigeon, a vessel captured
by a small Russian schooner, the Vlad-
livestock, the arbitrator laid down the
principle that no arresting officer can
oblige foreign sailors to undertake to
navigate the arrested vessel to port,
as sailors on the Cape Horn Pigeon
were forced to do and awarded $3.50 to
each of the men so impressed. The
other important rule was that in cal
culating the damages it was proper to
regard the prospective catch a vessel
might make had she nto been seized.
