MISS MINERS EFFORTS
FINALLY REWARDED
Admission of Two Chinese Students Is
Permitted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. H.
Kung Hsian and Fei Chi Ho, the Chi
neSe students whose exclusion by the
treasury department has excited the
interest of the missionary Worl /, have
finally been admitted to this country.
The authorities at Buffalo have been
notified by Commissioner of Immigra-
ton Sargent to allow the young men
To enter that port, and they are now
on their way to Oberlin college, Ober-
lin, Ohio, Wither they were bound
more than year ago, when they
landed at San Francisco, and found
themselves barred by the immigration
officials.
Kung and Fei were brought to this
country by Miss Luella Miner, the
missionary. During the seige Of the
legation at Pekin, it is said they rem
dered valuable service to the foreign
ers. in recognition of this work, Miss
Miner made arrangements for their
recentjCn at Oberlin. When they land
ed at San Francisco, however, 1T was
discovered that they had no regular
rarers. They carried passports from
Lii Hung Chang, written III Chinese,
which were rejected as irregu a" by
the immigration officials. The only
concession the authorities would make
was to take bonds for the custody of
the young Chinament in San Francis

The papers did not come and Miss
Miner spirited her wards out of the
city to North Dakota. They were re-
arrested and sent back to San Fran
cisco. Again the determined mission
airy left the city with them and next
appeared in the neighborhood of To-
ronto. The president of Oberlin col
lege went to Washington to argue
with the secretary of the treasury for
the admission of the Celestials. Under
the law, however, they could not be
admitted with the papers they then
held, but as soon as the proper docu-
ments were received they were re-
leased,

INCREASE TERM LENGTH.
Minnette Thinks Fewer Elections and
Shorter Sessions Road to Wealth.


A law to save the state money by
cutting down each alternate session
of the legislature to thirty days and
the expense of one legislative election
by making the term of house mem
pers four years is the object Of a bill
drawn by Representative Frank Min
nette, of Sank Rapids
Mr.. M1nnette's proposition for a new
legislative law is actuated, he says,
solely by a desire to put some of the
theoretical economy, prated about by
officeseekers, into actual practice.
His bill provides for biennial ses-
s1ons of the legislature in the odd
years, but instead of the ninety-day
session now permitted, Minnette would
provide for thirty-da sessions alter
mating with the ninety day sittings.
This would shorten every other ses-
sion by sixty days, and result in a
saving of approximately 100000 in
legislative expenses every four years.
10 work a further economy, Mr.,
M1nnette would lengthen the house
members term of Office from two to
tour years and thereby cut down leg
1slative election expenses to counties.
state and individuals. The bill con-
templates the proposed law going into
effect as soon as passed, which would
result in keeping the present house
membership as it is until the session
OF 1907, and obviate the necessity of an
election of house members in 1904. It
is claimed that the extension may be
made without violation of the consti-
tuition, and that a precedent was es-
tablished by the senate when it chang
ed the senatorial terms from two To
four years.

LODGING HOUSE Is
WRECKED BY FIRE
Many Lives Are Endangered by Flames
in Minnesota House.

Fire made a total wreck of the Min
nesota lodging house on Rosabel street,
between Sixth and Seventh streets.
early yesterday morning.
About twenty persons were sleeping
in the building at the time, and many
of them were so overcome by smoke
that it required the utmost efforts of
Police Surgeon Cook to revive them.
The cause of the blaze was a small
gasoline stove that had been placed
near water pipe to prevent it freez-
ing and which, during the night, OK
ploded.
The building was the property of the
J. H. Schurmeier Wagon company. and
the loss is estimated at $4,000, wei
covered by insurance.

GO THROUGH FORMS
OF ANTITRUST
LEGISLATION
Senate Subcommittee APP
pointed to Consider Bills
Senators Make Surpris-
ing Announcement That
There Will Be No Legisla-
ton in a Hurry.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-Fol-
lowing the conference at the White
house last night, attended by Senator
Aldrich and Speaker Henderson, there
has been a great deal of discussion to-
day among the Republicans of the SEN
ate as to the prospects of antitrust
legislation during this session of con-
gresS. The conclusion reached is that
some measure will be passed.
There will be no radical legislation .
said one prominent Republican senator,
"but a measure embodying some fea-
lures of the Knox bill may be passed.
The Republicans are not going to ac-
cept any or everything that is offered,
nor will they abdicate to the minority
to dictate what shall be done 1t will
be some time, however, before the trust
bills are taken up, and senators will
have time to inform themselves on all
phases of the subject before a bill is
brought before the senate
Nelson on Subcommittee.
Another prominent senator said he
thought there would be legislation this
session not alone for the bill introduced
by Senator Hoar, but more in the ma
ture of the suggestions made by Attor-
ney General Knox. One feature of the
Knox bill that was favorably consid-
cred was that which provided for the
VI the D6ISOn VI COT
ton which received rebates as we'll as
the carrier or corporation that gave
them.
In the senate committee on judiciary
the question of trust legislation was
taken up, and Senators Hoar, Fair
banks and Nelson, Republicans, and
Pettus and Turner, Democrats, ap-
pointed a subcommittee to consider the
subject in detail. Senator Hoar said
the house of representatives should act
at an early day and his subcommittee
would wait but if it became apparent
there was to be delay in the house he
would call the committee together to
act Independently of the house. So far
as opinions were expressed by members
they were favorable to action.
An antitrust bill will be reported to
the house judiciary committee at it's
meeting Friday by the subcommittee,
of which Representative Littlefield is
chairman. This statement was made
today.
Bills in the House.
The subcommittee will meet tomor-
row, when the bills drawn by Attorney
General Knox, and introduced by the
chairman of the judiciary committee,
but which the subcommittee has been
advised were intended to be in the ma
ture of supplemental suggestions, will
be compared with the bill already
drafted by the subcommittee.
An effort will be made to have the
bill reported to the judiciary commit
tee Friday and reported out of that
committee at the earliest possible date
in order that it may be taken up for
action by the house without delay, thus
giving the senate time to act.
Members of Mr.. Littlefeld's subcom-
mittee, it is stated, expect their bill,
as it will go to the full committee, to lie
acceptable to the administration and to
have the support of the leaders of the
house. There is reason to believe that
Attorney General Knox will be con-
ferred with before the subcommittee
adopts a bill

Two nobiemen In the reign of Maxi

the other a Spaniard, who had each
rendered a great service TO the EN-
peror. asked the hand OF his daughter
in marriage. Macmillan said that as
he esteemed them both alike it was i'm
possible TO choose between them, and
therefore their own prowess must de-
eide it; bat. being unwilling TO risk the
loss of either by sen-a ging them in
deadly combat. he ordered large sack
10 be brought and declared that he who
should put his rival into it should have
his fair Helena. And this whimsical
combat was actually performed in the
presence of the imperial court and
lasted an hour The unhappy Spanish
noblem2n was first overcome, and the
German succeeded in enveIoping him
in the sac. took him upon his back
and laid him at the emperor's feet.
This comiczl combat Il said to be the
origin OF the phrase '+give him the
sack" so common in the literature Of
