LEGISLATURE
Doings of our Representative,
at the Capitol City for
Past Week.

St. Paul, March 21.-A new phase or
the railroad question has sprung up in
the legislature. L. L. Brown, and
Pierce Butler, the attorneys who are
leading the campaign of the railroads,
have requested a conference with the
joint committee of the house and SEN
ate which has in charge the rear
rangement of the bill to the satisfac-
ton of both houses. Though both
houses have passed the two-cent fare
bill, it must be remembered the house
bill as passed by the senate, was
amended to take on exactly the form
of the senate measure. The bill can
not go to the governor for signature
until the same amendments are rati-
fed by each body. 1t is understood
the railroads will ask for some COM
promise, two and a half cent rate if
possible, and offer in return further
general reduction in commodity rates
throughout the state.

OU. Z dull, MdICu ll-1uo UO5U VOU0
on the county agricultural school bill
was recorded in the house this after
noon, 65 votes being cast in favor OF
the bill, AZ against. The vote was on
a motion to send the measure to the
committee on agriculture, and DEM
onstrates the relative proposition of
house members for, and against the
measure. A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota,
and N. J. Holnberg of Renville, were
the leaders in the fight against the
bill. The charge was made that the
bill Us drawn, is to provide ''pork'' for
the towns of the special friends Of the
measure. Speaker L. H. Johnson
called w. A. Nolan of Grand Meadow
to the chair, and for nearly an hour
spoke in favor of the bill. Tomorrow
the bill will probably be called up for
passage. It provides appropriations
of $4,000 each for agricultural indus
trial schools at the following places;
Madison, Marshall, Slayton, Morris,
Willmar, Breckenridge, Austin and
Wadena.
The agricultural school bill fight
made the only news of interest in the
house today. The morning and after
noon were occupied in greater part
in advancing bills along routine chan
nels. Something over an hour was
given in the afternoon to listening to
an address on tax laws and taxation
by Nels P. Haugen, one of the tax
commissioners of Wisconsin. Most
of the senate joined with the house
members in their chamber to hear
the address.
The bill to permit the board of con-
troll to sell prison Irvine outide the
state, and to permit retail dealers a
profit margin of cent on cash sales
and ~ cents on credit sales, came
up for lively discussion in the senate
today.
"This bill is the only one that will
protect this state from the clutches
Of the harvester and Irvine trust"
said Senator George Sullivan of Still
water. Senator Ole O. Sageng of
Otter Tail opposed the measure be-
cause it raised the price of Irvine
about half a cent a pound. Frank
Clague of Redwood called attention
that the bill as worded might permit
the trust to buy up the states supply
of Irvine through dealers, and sugges-
ted the measure lie over for investi-
cation along this line. The motion
prevailed. The w. A. Nolan recipro-
cal demurrage bill was presented to
the senate today by the railroad
committee with a recommendation to
pass. On motion of Senator Clague,
it was made a special order for con-
sideration at II a. m. next Wednes-
day. There is every probability the
bill will be passed by the senate. It
has already gone through the house.
A number of new bills put in an ap-
pearance today, but none of great
Importance. The bill subjects are
already covered and bills now coming
in are of minor Importance, a large
number of them being for appropria-
lions. for aid in road and bridge con-
struction.

FEAR TERRORIST ACTIVITY
No General Outbreak Likely to Occur
in Russia.

St. Petersburg, June 19.-The return
of the guard regiments to their sum-
mcr camp at Krasnoye-Selo indicates
that the authorities have definitely
ceased to reckon on an outbreak of
disorder at the capital following the
coup d'etat This view is confirmed
by the action of the revolutionary par
ties in declaring against armed out
breaks at the present time, when the
troops are loyal to the government. A
high police official, however, says that
a speedy resumption Of the terrorist
campaign, including attempts on the
lives of the ministers and other high
officials, may be expected, this, as In
the days Of NJ. Sipiaguine and NJ.
Plehve, being the only means avail
able for striking fear INTO the hearts
of government officials" He also pre-
dicted an extensive outbreak OF
agrarian disorders in several districts
within two or three weeks. The alb
sence of a general strike, however,
leaves the administrations hands free
to deal with the riotous peasantry.
The province of Vologada, where an
agitation has already begun, was pro-
claimed to be place Of minor martial
law. The guards at the railroad sta
tions are retained.

Ditehsd and Destroyed by
Fire Near PaImsro.

Seventeen people were injured in
the wrecko the Great Northern train,
number two, The Oriental Limited,
four miles west Of Palmero, Saturday
but none were killed. Nine cars plum.
ged down the twenty foot embankment
and all but the mail Car were burned.
Engineer James Longevan went
down the embankment with the en-
CINE but miraculously escaped iDjury.
Fireman Hugh A. Nolan sustained an
injury to his right foot by jumping
from the engine before it went down
the embankment.
The wreck was caused by broken
erail, which Engineer Longevan says he
saw before tile engine left the track.
Wrecking trains were hurried to the
scene in Minot and Williston, and the
injured cared for in the hospital at
Minot.
The spot where the cars plunged
over the embankment is indeed a
scene of confusion. The roadbed is
elevated 20 feet above the surround
ing prairie and thefe is slight curve.
The track for distance of 600 feet
was destroyed and the south side for
this distance is lined with twisted
steel, overturned trucks and the
smoldering remains of the cars. The
big heavy engine Of the "Fourteen
Hundred the latest tpye put oD the
road is buried six feet In the earth.
To the south only the cab and the
drive wheels and the bottom of the
boiler, being in sight. Next to the
engine are the tender and mail car
which were hurled against tele-
graph pole. The baggage car, smoker
and coaches are about 100 feet further
west. Only the trucks and the twist
ed rods and gas tanks of these cars
are visible. Farther back on the
track are the ruins Of the sleeper and
the observation car. One can detect
the rear railing of the observation
car and that is about all. When one
views the remains Of the wreck one
wonders how it is that none were
killed. Il. I.
