TO GET THE SCHOOL BONDS.
There Are 100000 Of School Bonds In
the State.

! the State.
Land Commissioner Bach Is making
a special effort to secure school bonds
for the state school fund. Estimates
have been furnished him from the diff.
terent counties showing that there are
over 100000 of such securities out.
standing in the state which bear an
average interest rate of 6 IA per cent.
and If it is funded into the state
school fund the rate can be reduced to
. per cent, making large annual saw
ing on interest charges.
To get these securities would mean
the practical wiping out of the present
surplus in the permanent fund which
lies In the state treasury, and largely
Increase the revenues Of the school
funds of the state.
The commissioner is in communica-
ton with the auditors and county
commissioners Of the various counties
of the state, asking their cooperation
in the work of securing the refunding
OF such school securities into the
state fund and will in his campaign
attempt to reach as many Of the Off
GERS of the various school townships
and districts as possible. II he sue
ceeds in this effort it will mean that
when the school treasurers pay the
interest on their Indebtedness II will
be at the Office of the county treasurer
and there will be no expense CT a
draft for forwarding. The county and
district officers over the state can do
a great deal toward helping out the
state school fund and at the same
time bring revenues to their schools,
if they care to take a small interest in
the matter.
The department has issued twenty
one more patents to final purchasers
Of state lands, nine of which went tO
Brookings county, four to Codington,
two each to Minnehaha and Kings
bury, and one each to Grant, Turner,

Resume of the Weeks
Proceedings.
In the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 17--There was no
debate on the statehood bill in the
senate yesterday. The Indian appro,
priation bill and the Philippine cur.
rency bill both were passed. Mr.. Vest,
while the Indian bill was up. called at.
tention to a point of order which had
been taken against one of its provis-
ions on the ground that it was new
legislation. The senate, he said. had
passed the government bill as a rider
to the army appropriation bill and yet
ruled other provisions out. All rules
he said were violated when a majority
was in favor Of any measure.
In the House.
The house disposed of a number of
bills yesterday under suspension of
the rules, defeating two. The most i'm
portant measure passed was the SEN
ate bill to amend the railroad safety
appliance law.

Washington. Feb. %. The day in
the house was devoted to debate upon
the Fowler currency bill Mr.. Fowler,
the author of the measure, spoke for
over two hours. The other speakers
were Messrs. Thayer (Mass.), Lover.
ing (Mass), Lewis (Ga.) Prince GllD
The general conviction that the bin
has no chance to become a law, and
the fact that there are divergent views
on both sides of the house detracted
from the interest in the debate.

In the Senate.

There was lively debate in the SEN
ate yesterday over Senator Quay's res
olution declaring it to be the sense of
the senate that there should be a vote
on the statehood bill before the ad-
journment of congress. To this propo-
sition Senator McComas reoffered
Senator PIatts cloture resolution in
troduced two years ago, and a motion
was made to refer the whole PROPOSE
ton to the committee on rules. This
was pending when the senate went
into executive session.
