WILL PRESENT JOHNSON.
Governor the Democratic Choice fer
United States Senator.

The Minneapolis Tribune says that
Governor johnson will undoubtedly be
presented to the legislature as the demo-
cratic candidate for United States sena-
tor. This will not be done with the
idea of striving for his election, but the
vote will be offered to him as a COM
plimentary vote by his democratic COM
patriots. The custom of nominating a
candidate of the minor party is well es-
tablished, and the most enthusiastic OF
the governors friends do not labor un-
der the delusion that he is a candidate
for the senatorship.

GETS FULL AMOUNT.
Vernon Center Merchant Wins Case
With Insurance Company.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The jury in the case of F. Forcum-
bach VS.. the Minnesota Mutual Fire In
surance company returned a sealed ver-
dict this morning, awarding $6SO.4O to
the plaintiff which is the whole amount
sued for, with interest at six per cent
from the time that an alleged settle
ment was made. The plaintiffs stock
was burned at the time of the disas-
ferrous fire at Vernon Center last winter,
and settlement was effected with the
insurance company, so he claimed. He
said that the company then refused to
pay anything and he brought suit. The
company got an idea that Forcumbach
had removed his stock before the fire
and had no loss. The jury though other
wise and gave the plaintiff the amount
alleged to have been agreed to in the
settlement.
The suit of Joseph Boeisad VS.. the
Chicago Great Western road is on trial
and will not be completed today. The
plaintiff claims to have been injured in
stepping off of passenger train at st.
Paul or South st. Paul, owing to the
fault of the road, and asks for damages.
The plaintiff and some of his witnesses
are Syrians and require an interpreter,
and progress is therefore slow. The jury
was not completed in the case until
this morning, as it was necessary to IS
sue a special venire for six talesmen
to complete the venire.

Senator Scott Delivers Speech,

Washington, March 7.-Senator
Scott of West Virginia made a formal
speech in the senate today in opposi,
ton to giving the commerce commits
sion power to fix contested rates with
out a provision for a broad and general
court review. He took the position
that governmental regulation was a
form of government ownership. He
declared the government could not
make rates which would meet the needs
of expanding trade and industry. He
argued for fair treatment for all ship
pers and communities and against the
railroads owning coal lands.
