Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 19.-(Delayed
in transmission) )-The disadvantages
of having the capitol located so far
from the residence portion of the
city was doubly apparent today when
the blizzard which was raging over
this portion of the state put the street
car line out of commission and made
it next to impossible to reach the
building. Early in the day the street
car was compelled to suspend because
OF the drifting snow, and carriages
and bobsleds were called into reuuisi-
ton, the round trip in the former
being modest tax of 81 as against
10 cents on the capitol street car line
though the building of the street
railway has been charged as a politi-
cal job A majority of the house was
present when Speaker Twichells
gavel fell exactly on the stroke of 2
o'clock, and while it was understood
that because of the absence of SO
many of the members, nothing of i'm
portance should be considered, the
leaders who had shifted the smell of
powder in the battle of the day before
were there hoping that some action
on the part of the majority leader
would give them the opportunity of
charging the entertainments. But they
were disappointed. The resolution in
troduced by Representative Buttz en-
dorsing the pending amendments to
the free alcohol law in congress and
urging the adoption of the same in the
interests OF the farmers OF NORTH Da.
kota as against the whiskey trust
which is seeking to secure control of
the monopoly, was favorably reported
from the committee on state affairs
to which it had been referred.
Mr.. Sorley (Grand Forks arose to
a question of personal privilege in
the reference to the statement of GER
tain of the newspaper correspondents
that in his speech on the floor of the
house when discussing the resolution
offered by him on the day previous,
and which was a bitter arraignment
house of representatives, and other
republicans concerning their position
on the bill which had been favorably
reported to the house by the commit
tee and commonly known as the ship
subsidy bill, he had attacked these re-
publicans. He denied doing so, and
in this he was supported by others
who had aprticipated in the debate.
Major Buttz called attention to the
fact that the arraignment Of which he
complained was part of the resolu-
ton which he had offered and which
had been printed in the journal, and
that the article was in fact the Ian
guage of the author until it was adopt
ed by the house and that then it would
become the language of the house. He
did not see why the language of the
article should not be considered
part of his own. The trouble so far
as the reporters were concerned was
merely a confusing of the language
of the article upon which the resolu-
tion was based and the language of
the author in supporting the resolu-
ton.
A few matters Of routine, such as
the assignment of committee rooms
and things of like nature, were dis
posed of and then the house ad-
journed.
Senate SkidOOed,
Over i'll the senate wing twenty
three senators were present. The
president was absent and the senate
was called to order by the secretary,
and Senator Taylor was made presi-
dent pro TEN. The roll call disclosed
a skidoo and thereupon Senator
Hanna moved an adjournment
