Speaker Johnson, knowingly or IN
Willingly, made good with the inter
ests. 1t is not my purpose in this
article to point out just what legisla
ton was defeated or distorted by
some of the packed committees. That
extensive subject will be discussed in
detail in latter letter. | shall then
attempt to show exactly what bills
were introduced which concerned the
railroads, the saloon interests, the
sleeping car companies, etc. and ex-
actly how these different measures
were handled in their respective COM
mittees. Regarding the makeup of
the standing committees will say no
more at this time than to call your at
tention to the fact that the arrange
ment made it comparatively easy to
protect the interests of the railroads
and other corporations generally and
also made possible, as will be explain
ed, the operation of House cOmbin-
alton that sent several reformers
home without much external of their
legislative labors. The organization
of the House should be guaged by re-
suits and results will tell the story
tersely and well.
The appointment of special COM
mittees, as occasions require, is also
mighty power in the hands of the
Speaker. At this session there were
repeated opportunities for the exer-
else of discretion and discrimination
in the sele elton of members to carry
on the various Investigations Two
illustrations will suffice. In the great
tonnage tax fight committee was
deemed necessary to look into the
ACCESSIBILITY of such a system of taxa
ton for the iron ore properties and
enlighten the House on the question.
Five safe men were appointed in the
persons of Zelch, Wright, G. B. Miller,
Wells and Webster. Their report was
particularly pleasing to the great steel
trust.

sonal gain.

Speaker Johnson was lifted to that
powerful position by the special inter-
ests. As the organizing and presiding
officer, he paid the price of prefer
ment. Either thru ignorance or in
territorial disloyalty to the people, he
gave the corporations every possible
assistance and advantage turnout the
session. The House membership was
SO manipulated in the committee as
signments as to make possible a
"combination'' worse even than the
old Senate combine of previous
sessions. What this combination ac-
complished will be another story.

stand. But before Mr.. Spring could
arrange to open the little business,
Sherman S. Smith moved in with a
show case and stock of cigars. The
Speaker had bestowed the privilege
upon him. Spring was plainly en-
titled to the place and threatened to
make trouble, but the controversy
was settled PROBABLY by the other
Mr., Smith over in the Senate. Sherm
held the fort.
Another appointment by Speaker
Johnson was highly significant. He
made FL. E. Samuelson ''press gallery
sergeant" at salary of five dollars
day. Now Samuelson was the regu-
lar political reporter of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press and was paid by that
paper. The position to which he was
appointed did not exist-except on
the pay roll. Mr.. Samuelson per-
formed no labor for the legislature,
yet he drew his five day until the
close OF the session. he was simply
handed about $500 of the peoples
money in fifty dollar installments
every ten days. Probably Samuelson
earned the gratuity. 1t was not the
6rst time that corporation paper re-
pofters we're given "favors" by those
in command of the legislature, but I
do not think that many of them were
aver ''press gallery sergeants."
The weightiest work of the Speaker
of course, lies in the selection of the
standing committees 1t must be
remembered that the character Of
these committees very largely deter
mines the character of the laws en-
ete d. In appointing his committees;

POLITICAL MEETING.
RUSSIAN SOCIAL REVOLUTIONARY
 TO HOLD CONVENTION.
London Chosen as Place of Assembly Probably 1900 Delegates to Consider Three Important
 Political Questions.

London Aug 6.-Another Russian political convention will assemble in London during the month of August. The Russian Social Revolutionary Par ty Is the name which its supporters give 1t, but advices from Russia con- tend that the party is composed of Anarchists and Nihilists.
 Meetings are Ihe1d all over Russia to choose ten delegates from each of the eighty-six provinces of European Russia and Siberia will send enough more to bring the number up to 1900. The English papers say that no one will be eligible for election unless he has been twice convicted of political offences. Geneva has heretofore been the headquarters of the party, but the people there have come to consider its members as undesirable and finally re- fused to permit their gatherings. The matters to be considered by the con- ference are these:
 First-The establishment of foreign headquarters of the party in London instead of in Geneva where practical ly the work Is rendered impossible owing to recent legislation.
 Second-The preparations for the forthcoming congress.
 Third-A union with the London group of Russian Polish Anarchists and Communists for the purpose of erecting together a building, acquiring a, printing plant and machinery for the publication of pamphlets, procla- nations and books and the issue of a NihiIist paper in Russian and Yid- dish

Small Pox Reports from Linden Great
 Iy Exaggerated.
 Linden. Aug. 6.-(Special. )-Dr. w.. L. Kimbrough, Health Officer of Ma rengo County. has issued the follow ing statement:
 Tn order to correct a report which seems to be current. and which has given rise to considerable uneasiness on account of the considerably exag- gerated statements contained therein. I beg to submit. for the information of those interested, and the general public. the following statement con- corning the appearance of smallpox in Linden:
 While 1t is true that there have been three cases of the disease in town, the type of same was in each case quite mild. All necessary precau- tionary measures were promptly taken, the patients were completely isolated. and all are now convalescent-in fact, out of bed The cases mentioned were children, and the effect of the disease was slight. I do not apprehend any trouble whatever in controlling any tendency of the disease to spread and none has so far been noticed. There exists at present no cause whatver for alarm, and none has been feared by me from the outset.
 Yours respectfully,
 "W L. Kimbrough, M. D..
 County Health Officer"

STRIKE IS STILL ON
MOBILE EXPORT BUSINESS IS DAM
 AGED.
TImbermen Hold out for Their De- mands and Vessels are Sent Else
 weher for their Carg0es.

Mobile, August e.-(Special. )-The situation in the timbermens strike re- mains unchanged today. AS there was only one steamship loading timber in the port when the strike was declared the British steamship Calyx-and as the shippers who chartered her have had her shifted to the Mobile,~ Jackson and Kansas City railroad landings to take on lumber for the rest of her car go, the lumber shippers of this port are not immediately affected.
 However, the calling of the strike has already resulted in the Missis- sippi Transportation Company's order ing three vessels, which were to take on partial cargoes here, to Gulfport to load. Other shippers declare that they will charter no more vessels to load timber in this port until the strike is settled, and if their determination Is carried out it will mean that Mobiles exports of timber for the next month or so or as long as the trouble lasts, will be damaged.
 The situation in brief is this. The Timbermen's Association served notice on the stevedores and shippers that they would after August work only eight hours a day claiming that the skill repired for this kind of work and the danger attached to it Justified them in asking for a shorter working day. Their employers answered that they would grant the eight hour day on these conditions: that two men less be worked with each gang, that the timbermen agree to work overtime at regular wages when there was press ing need for haste. and that when rain interfered with the days work that the timbermen put in as much of the day as possible.
 The shippers claim that the gang of seventeen men demanded by the timbermen when loading sawed timber and twenty-one when working With hewn timber, including in both cases the foreman. Is too many by at least four. and they ask that two Of these be left off. This the timbermen were unwilling to do, insisting on seventeen men. They also decline to agree to put in additional time on regular wages when called on by the shippers.
 As it takes generally about ten or twelve days to load a cargo of timber on a vessel, the knocking off of an hour each day would. 1t is stated. supposing the vessel to be delayed three days, cost the shipper about $240 which ex- peditious loading would bring him, cost the owner an equal amount and the stevedores enough. in additional wages, to bring the total loss up to $500, the timbermen in the mean time getting no more than before in actual money.
 The timbermen stand pat on their de- mands. and the ship brokers and steve dores stand just as pat. so the situa- ton offers little hope of an immediate solution.
