all of the members have amendments CT
some kind that they will offer. but the
country members are practically unan-
1mous in their opposition to the proposed
redemption reduction and it is safe to
predict that whatever other changes are
made by the new code, the exemption will
remain at 800.
The house reorganization will be
formal. After calling the house to order
this morning, Speaker Bowling Will re-
ceive a resolution offered by Capt Allen,
of Spring Valley, chairman of the com
mttee on Judiciary, reinstating the old
officers, with the exception of the changes
made necessary through designations.
The speaker will declare all Of the COM
mittees appointed at the regular session
intact. A resolution for an adjournment
of one day in respect to the memory of
Representative J. W. TORY, of Man
annah, who committed suicide last spring.
will be offered and adopted. This adj
journment will give the members of the
Duluth delegation an opportunity to go
home to vote at the municipal election
held there today.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE
ON RULES TO-DAY.
At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the
house and senate will re-convene and the
war of legislation will quickly be on.
The first business expected in the house
tomorrow morning is the reception Of the
report of the committee on rules, head
ed by w. w. Dunn, st. Paul. Its report
will fix the number of employees and their
salaries. Aside from the rules governing
employees the committee Is expected to
recommend that the rules of the regular
session be adopted.

plete and the work this morning will in
clude only the roll call and a motion to
adjourn. AT the last day of the regular
session the senate provided for It's re-
organization by resolution directing all
of it's officers to report back for duty
upon the date set in the governors call
for the special session.
None of the senate officials has given
notice of resignation or received other po-
litical position. Most Of them reported
yesterday and it is expected all will be
at their respective posts this morning.
The official roster of the senate is Lieut..
Gov. Lyndon A Smith, Montevideo; Sec
rotary, Samuel A. Langum, Preston; first
assistant secretary, A. D. Countryman,
Appleton; second assistant secretary, W.
d. Smith, Winnebago City; engrossing
clerk, A. G. Myran, Ada; engrossing
clerk, George D. Montgomery, ST. Paul;
sergeant-at-arm Thomas Downs, Min
neapolis; chaplain Rev. H. A. Chouniard,
st. Peter. The number of employees was
determined by the same resolution which
cut out all but the dcorkeepers. cloak
room keepers and few general clerks.
HOUSE OFFICERS
TO BE E-ELECTED.
The house organization will entail more
red tape. An attempt to adopt a resolu-
ton similar to the one adopted by the
senate was defeated at the close OF the
regular session, and technically the house
Will be reorganized, although there will
probably be only one or two changes in
its official roster. Speaker Bowling will
call the house to order. Then, while It
is the consensus of opinion among the
representatives that the officers of the
house are elected for two years, to In
sure against possible legal difficulties
later, the old officers will be formally
elected severally. Ward r. Gray, the
assistant sergeant-at-arms, has been an
pointed to berth under the railroad
and warehouse commission At caucus
of the house leaders yesterday the Hen
nepfn delegation which was charged
with Gray's appointment was allowed to
substitute Sven Johnson, of Minneapolis
The other officers Of the house are
Speaker M. ]. Bowling, Renville; Chief
Clerk julius A. Seminal, Redwood FAILS:

st. Paul; Sergeant Edward Fan
ming, Stewartville; Postmaster 8. w,
Melendy Minneapolis; Assistant Post
master Mrs. F. w. Lee, Rush City, and
Rev. H. w. Knowles, chaplain, Duluth.
w. w. Wall, Of Lanesboro, engrossing
clerk at the last session, has become Sec
rotary to the state dairy and food COM
mission, but he says he Is ready to re-
sumo his legislative duties, and he may
be reelected. The number of doorkeep-
ers and cloakroom keepers will not be
materially changed, but there will prob
ably be deep cut in the roster Of COM
mittee and general clerks. Neither of the
clerks to the judiciary committee will
return. Simon Michelet has received an
appointment to the Indian service, and
Edward Parrish Is fighting for the reten-
ton Of his bailiff's berth in the ST. Paul
municipal court. John Jones, of Mime
apolis, reading clerk at the regular ses-
sion, whose mission Is gone at the special
session, is mentioned as a candidate for
Michelet's place, as is Capt. John Fine
bout, assistant city prosecutor, st. Paul.
The committee on taxes and tax laws
will probably receive q clerk and possibly
