Labor Troubles.

Yesterday the Painters Union of
this city declared a small war on Ed.
Walsh, the popular merchandise. It
appears that two travelling painters
came along, asked for a job Of letter
ing the window, secured the job and
went to work. A few minutes after
they started work. member Of the
local union interviewed Mr.. Walsh
and asked that the men be discharged,
as the work could be done by home
men, who belonged to the local union.
Mr.. Walsh declined to discharge the
men, and they will finish the work.
The Union will hold q meeting this
evening to talk, over the course that
wal be followed.
In talking Of the, trouble, Ed. said:
when l first moved into the store,
asked a local painter to- place a
sign on the glass and he never would
talk of the amount that it would come
to. even purchased the geld leaf for
the. Job, but the local man failed to
come to time. ~. ,,s,.ssss.-s,,,s.s...,..
'sAfter that l asked the other sign

agreed. but as that was three months

benefit. The window has been cleaned

Late Convict News.

The sheriff's Office received the fol-
lowing telegram last evening, which
confirms the story of c. P. Ferrel,
who returned from Woodfords Thurs
day:
FOLSOM, Cal, Aug, 14-Four
escaped convicts seen at Phillips sta
ton near Lake Tahoe at s O'Clock
this morning They are headed toward
Nevada
THOMAS WILKINSON,
Warden.
Phillips station is near the summit
leading towards Meyers station. The
convicts have evidently crossed from
the Hope Valley country toward the
lake. and from the direction taken
are headed into the valley that sur
rounds the lake. tr ri
From the tenor of the telegram re-
celved by the sheriff, it is evidently
the belief of the California sheriff
that a possee will be formed in this
State to head off the men. This pro-
cedure is hardly likely, as the men
are still in California and several
miles from the Nevada line. The fact
that only four of the men we're seen
points to the theory that one of the
convicts has left the band and MAY
be headed toward Carson Valley or
the country south of here.

Some Queer Specimens Picked % In
q 80 Mono County.


Mr.. Lindsay, the marble cutter. Of
this city Who IL also considerable Of
q mineealogist, has lately returned
from Mono County, California, where
he went out to hunt diamonds, as he
believed that the formatisu about the
extinct craters give Indications Of
their formation. He spent several
days exploring the old volcanoes and
his experiences il intersstias to~say
the least. The fact thkt diamonds are
noy found IN TIE dad volcaloes Of
Africa prompted Mr.. Lindsay, to make
. personal investigation OF the old
fues in the vicinity Of Mono Lake.
While he did not find the real arti-
Gle, he found a number OF specimens
that are of unusual interest: In. the
obsldium that has been thrown out by
the volcanic action. ne picked up
number of pieces that show the. empty
coffns that sometime held some sort
of 9 crystal. The. empty shells show
all the marks Of some sort of cry
stall that has been formed inside. One
specimen that he has is sound. The
shell is perfect and has not yet been
broken to see what is on the inside.
This specimen is to be taken to Cali

that they are formed in. The fact that
all experts agree that the crystalized

he is on the track of the real article.
Some other very interesting speci-
mems were brought in from the volca-

PRESENT FIFTH PLAN.
Shearer and johnson Add One to List
of Gross Earnings Bills.

If a multiplicity of bills and meth
DDS has any efficiency, the Thirty-third
legislature should be enabled easily to
work out system for increasing the
railroads gross earnings tax from 3
to per cent and have the necess 1ry
constitutional amendment ratified by
the people.
The fifth gross earnings tax ameni-
ment bill appeared in the house yes
terday. 1t is, according to its caption.
the joint work of Representatives
Shearer and Johnson, of Hennepin. Mr..
Shearer believes that the bill meets all
the objections raised against it's pred
ecessors and that it gives the state all
necessary safeguards TO prevent finan-
cial loss should it be ratified and after
ward fail to stand the test of the
courts.
The definition of gross earnings Civ
en- by the Shearer- johnson bill is iden-
tical with that of the existing law. The
bright particular feature in which it's
authors claim that 1t is superior 20 all
others is section 5, which provides that
as a condition precedent to action in
appeal from the proposed law, railroad
companies must pay into the state
treasury the full amount of taxes due
and payable under the existing law.
This section, they claim, is so divorced
from the other essentials Of the bill
that it could be knocked out without
destroying any other section and vice

Dr.. Budd Scores House for Defeat Of
Nolan Pension Bill.

The Nolan bill prohibiting the reten-

agement of the soldiers home was yes
terday defeated in the house by a vote
of SO to SO.
The defeat of the bill which has be-
come a regular feature of Minnesota
legislatures was not accomplished
without the usual amount of more or
less pertinent oratory and the usual
liberal amount of i'll feeling.
Representative w. /. Nolan, author
of the bill, opened the debate with a
strong, logical speech. II was his
maiden effort, and made a fine impress
sion, but the odds were against him,
with several of the G. A r. members
of the house in open opposition. 1t Is
that feature of the opposition which
most angers DR.. Budd, a veteran and
a member of the G.. A. r., who sup

House Holds an All-Night
Session and the Senate
Comes Pretty Near It
Appropriation Bills Being
Acted Upon, With a Like
lihood That All Will Pass.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-3 a. M
The Fifty seventh congress has nearly
reached its close. The house is at this
hour in session. The senate took a re-
cess after midnight until II o'clock.
The appropriation bills are in good
shape, and all Will probably be acted
upon before the present congress ex-
pires.
The corridors of the capitol were
thronged last night with people at
tracted by the night sessions which
marked the closing of congress. Long
before o'clock the galleries of the
senate were packed and the same was
true on the house side. The filibus-
tering that has characterized the pro-
ceedings of the two houses for the
past few days gave especial interest
to the spectators in the sessions to-
night Long lines stood In wait
ing at the gallery doors, each hoping to
gain admission. Members were be-
sieged for admission cards to the prl-
Yate galleries.
Those who could not gain admission
on either side strolled through the
building viewing the objects of interest

the greater number. The women great
ly outnumbered. the men tonight. 1t
was not until near the midnight hour
that there was any perceptible thinning
of the crowd.

LEGAL|zE SPECIAL LAWS
JOLTS ITS SUBCOMMITTEE
Senator Collester Would
Make Present Makeshift
Method Of Securing Special
Legislation Unnecessary
by Returning to Old Con-
stitutional Provisions.

A bill which practically does away
with the present constitutional
amendment prohibiting special legisla-
tion was introduced in the senate yes
terday morning by Senator ColIester.
Under the present law special legis-
lation is prohibited, but much of the
legislation enacted since the adoption
of the amendment is nothing other than
special legislation in general form.
Special Laws in Fact
This round about method of avoid
Ing the law merely burdens the gen.
eral laws with special laws without
number, and in view of this situation
the senator from Waseca believes that
special laWs shTu-d be known as such
in name and form IS well as in fact
The adoption of the Collester
amendment will bring the legislature
hack to where II was when the amend
ment prohibiting special legislation was
passed. The senator from Waseca has
provided for all this in nis bill, which
emimerates the special legislation to
be permitted.
Tile measure also provides that the
legi stature may repeal sny existing
special law.

WOULD ABOLISH
MILEAGE CRAFT
Free Transportation for Off
cials Under State Super
vision.

Abolition of the mileage system and
free transportation for state officials,
under state supervision. are the OBJ
jects sought by the introduction yes
terday of a bill by Representative En-
met Mark.
The bill is designed to work the
state a large saving along lines now
considered perfectly legitimate ave-
nues to the public purse, but also to
put the bars against state officers who
ride on passes and collect mileage at
liberal rate from the state.
1t provides that the railroad COM
panies shall furnish free transporta"
ton for legislators, judges, state off,
GERS and employees, except employees
and appointees of the legislature. Not
later than Dec. % of each year the
several companies shall furnish the
executive officers of the state with an
nual passes. Ten days later the state
auditor is required to furnish the COM
panies with lists of all other officers
and employees entitled to tranSporta-
ton.
The transportation is to be made out
in the name of the persons entitled
thereto, and issued to them by the
state auditor. The passes are to be-
come void upon the vacation of the Of
flee or position emitting the holder
thereto, and use of the pass after va
cation of office or permitting its use
by another person is made punishable
by fine or imprisonment.
The kernel of the nut is contained in
next to the last section, which pro-
vides that any person holding such
transportation and charging mileage to
the state, either directly or indirectly,
shall be deemed guilty of a felony and
subject to Imprisonment for "a term of
not less than three or more than five
years.
Former State Auditor Dunn, who IS
heartily in favor of the bill, and who
is largely responsible for it's introduc-
ton, estimates the saving TO the state
at not less than $4,000 per legislative
biennial period.
While the legislative mileage ex-
pense account is very large, that par
ticular item is not so much sought as
abuses which are graft" pure and
simple. 1t is openly charged that ad-
ministrative officers are IN the habit
of charging the state mileage for trips
which they make on passes. Mr.. Dunn
yesterday said:
THE state official who charges mile
age up to the state and travels on a
pass is no better than thief"
That this practice is illegal. no one
attempts to deny, but it has, it is
claimed in some quarters, received the
sanction of custom, which custom will
speedily be relegated if the Mark bill
is enacted AS to the matter of passes,
the bill simply legalizes a common
practice, and may, under state regu-
lation afford the railroads some meas
ure of relief from present abuses.

DEATH RELIEVES THE
SUFFERINGS OF
W. A. SCOTT
General Manager Of the Oma-

After Long and Painful
Illness, Dies Early This
Morning.

Walter A. Scott, general manager Of
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &

ST. Paul Union depot company, is
dead.
The end came peacefully at st.
Luke's hospital this morning at 1870
o'clock. Mrs. Scott and Harry c.
Hope, superintendent of telegraph of
the Omaha railroad, were present at
the time.
In the death Of Mr.. Scott the North
west has lost one of it's most promi-

For the past eighteen years he had
been connected with the Northwes tern
system in various executive positions,
and for the past seven years was gen
eral manager of the Omaha road.

cLAeUE MAKES AMENDS.
Apologies for Mentioning Colleagues
Name in Stone Bill Debate.

Representative Clague, Redwood,
yesterday apologized to the house for
using the name of Representative Klein
in his argument for the Stone rate
regulation bill last week.
Mr.. Clague broke all legislative pre-
cedents to everlasting smash by say
ing in the course of a heated debate
that Mr.. Klein was the beneficiary of
discriminating railroad rates and at
the same time gave the source of his
information, another awful breach Of
legislative etiquette.
Later Mr.. Clague apOlogiZed to Mr..
Klein, and yesterday, at the request Of
the offended legislator, repeated the
apology to the house. He said that he
meant to impute nothing irregular to
Mr.. Klein, but that a special rate on
charred wood to Chaska had been
granted and that the brickmakers,
among them Mr. Klein, benefited there
by.
The apology was only about half sat
isfactory to Mr.. Klein, who naturally
enough feels himself deeply aggrieved
and is inclined to think that he las
unjustly been exposed to criticism. He
was angry and made no attempt to
conceal it, but Mr.. Clague declined to
go any farther than insist that he
meant no personal affront and there
the matter was dropped if not forgot
ten.
