far as to murder in cold blood to get
bodies for the purpose of collecting

three substitute bodies were passed off
on the Hancock Insurance company

indicted these will be eXhumed. The

RULES OF THE SENATE

An enduring position in the hearts of his country
men awaits the United States who will propose
TO carry into effect rule whereby the can shut

senate; that is that make motion to limit

til vote is taken the of statehood for the ter

to block important national rather than that his
feelings should be hurt
Such action is lmbeciic to degree. Congressman

matters of national Importance and determine by vote

St Paul takes on another attribute of metropolitan

that it is losing money running night But the
report of the companys annual meeting, held recently
in New York. showed enormous profits for the year.
There are sent the lines during the daytime
which perhaps hardly pay operating expenses but the
fact to be kept in mind is that the system pays its
immense annual profit and that return therefor

Now that is safe for the people of Minneapolis to

SOMEWHAT WARLIKE
FEELING IN ITALY
Minister Of Marine DepIores Reduc-
ton in Naval Expenditure.

ROME, Feb. 1S.-The chamber of
deputies debated today the military
estimates. In the discussion reference
was made to the defeat of the Italian
fleet by the Austrian fleet, at LISA, in
1866, and Vic Admiral NORM, minister
Of marine, said: I'VE have worked
thirty-six years preparing for the day
of trial"
This remark caused a sensation, the
members of the Left shouting: do
you want warp
Yes, we want war;" retorted the
deputies of the Center.
Minister NORM continued that while
Italy did not want war, she was pre-
pared. He opposed a reduction in the
navy owing to Italys geographical po-
sition. A large number of emigrants
were leaving the shores of Italy, he
said, and they must be protected. The
minister pointed out that Great Brit
ain, France, the United States and
other powers had almost doubled the
expenses of their nayies, while Italy
had cut down her naval expediture by
$4,000, 900.
