for obstructing it's immediate indorse-
ment by the house.
Mr.. Cole had about made up his
mind to withdraw his motion for sus-
pension Of the rules, when some one
sicked him on and he insisted on his
motion. A viva voce vote was taken
and the speaker declared the rules sus-
pended, entirely satisfied that the two
third rule had been complied with.
The bill was passed without a dissent
ing vote.
The next row materialized when Col
Hugo wanted the rules suspended for
the passage Of bill fixing the dates
for sessions Of the district court in
Lake and Cook counties. Burns swung
around to his original position and
said
If there is any reason why one MEM
Der should have preference over an
other in the consideration of his bills
and their passage, I want to know it.
Every member should be willing to let
his bills take the regular course. no.
tice good many of these requests
come from the city members and I
can't see why they cannot let their
measures take the regular course, the
same as the country members do
Hugo was there with the retort cour-
teous. He thought he was getting the
short end Of the deal and his ire rose
correspondingly. He Ieaped to his feet
and cried:
If the gentleman had kept his ears
open he would have noticed that the
bill is not a city measure. 1t relates to
Lake and Cook counties and neither
has any cities"
L don't care what it relates to-
snapped Burns, and the house evident
ly conceded with Burns lack of inter-
est. 1t refused to suspend the rules.

BARRIERS IN
JOHNS0N'S WAY
The American League May
Not Enter New
York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-American
league followers here are getting to be
a trif1e nervous. They are beginning to
believe that Ban Johnson is stuck be-
tween the horns of dilemma and is
afraid to let go. From a source consid-
cred official the American grounds
question is deemed to be like this:
The American league has two sites on
Manhattan island and two in tho
Bronx. So far as the grounds in Nam
haitian are concerned it may be said
that both are on the line of the new
subway, while in the Bronx one site is
on the tunnel line and the other is con-
tiguous to the Third avenue elevated
road.
THE delay in announcing the exact
location of the grounds has been due
to several reasons. On Manhattan ISL
and the two sites selected have streets
cut through them, which must be clos
ed by means of legislative action, either
by the board of aldermen or the legis-
lature at Albany. In order to accom-
plish this the American league people
have been compelled to buck up against
political influence exercised by friends
of a National league man,who processes
to be able to move the whole earth if
necessary.
THE American league has 100000 to
spend here for grounds, has signed
great ball team at a salary outlay of
$4,000, and the men behind the/new
club stand ready to show that they will
draw 500, 900 persons to their park when
it is completed. 1t is said that the Ma
tionaI league men have been assured
that Johnson & Co. cannot get street
closed, and, furthermore, if the Ameri-
can league should secure a. plot through
which no street has been opened the
highway would be cut through it i'm
mediately.
THE American league men, who also
have some strong political friends here,
are anxious to know why it will not be
just as easy to have streets cut through
Manhattan field and the Polo grounds,
if such war of determination becomes
a reality"

sufficiently to employ all of the men
would necessitate an appropriation of
$l,600, 000, besides something like $780,

season. That argument settled the
Irvine question.

SHY AT BUCKET SHOP BILL.
Senator's Fear Measure Would LegaIize
Operations Of Board Of Trade.

A fight is promised when Senator
Gjertsen's bill to prohibit bucket shops
In the state reaches the floor of the
senate. The bill was considered by the
senate Judiciary committee yesterday
afternoon, and after a somewhat heat
ed debate it was decided to send the
bill out of the committee without rec
ommendation.
The reason for this action is that
number of the judiciary committeeman
believe that sauce for the goose should
be sauce for the gander In announc-
ing the action Of the committee several
senators explained that they had not
had time fully to consider the measure,
which is of considerable length, and for
this reason reported the bill back with
out recommendation in order to have
it printed and placed on general orders
for a full discussion
Other committee members declared
that the bill was denied recommends
ton because the senators believed that
law against bucket shops alone
would be round about way of Iegalfz-
ing stock speculation, which to them
looked as serious on the floor of rec
ognized exchange as it did in a bucket
shop.

FEAR SURETY BOND SCHEME.
Johnson Discovers Woodchuck in DR.
Budd's Bill.

The discovery of what many mem
berS considered Sam Johnson wood
chuck" in DIR. Budd's bill providing for
surety bonds for town, village and
school treasurerS resulted yesterday in
taking the measure off the calendar
and sending it back to general orders.
The measure was designed to pro-
vide for the payment of surety bond
premiums of treasurers of villages or
school boards by the towns or districts.
The compensation of many of these
officers does not exceed the amount of
the premiums charged for their bonds,
and the arguments in favor Of the
bill were reasonable enough.
Mr.. l.. HI. Johnson, of Hennepin,
however. discovered that the bill per
nitted premiums Of the half per cent

rate should be with comptition. Mr..
