that variety of fish.
In addition to the pike there
are two fine muskallonges which
will weigh about II pounds each.
1t is said that Dick Collins caught
these fish while trolling early this

ALL"
Two years ago there an unusual
number of new members and it took
them some time to get used to the
run of business. Then the investi-
eating committees which were ap-
pointed to investigate everything,
from the Great Northern ore deals
to the shippers and receivers associ.
alton, took a great deal of the time
of the house. A majority of the
house is composed of experienced
members this time, so it is not
likely that they will devote their
energies to things which take much
time and produce few results.
There are some who think a short
session would be in bad grace, now
that their salaries have been raised,
but others think that the saving in
the salaries of the employees would
make up for this.

George, w. Neubeauer of Fargo,
N. D., had one foot crushed last
evening while stepping on the
coupler between two freight cars in
the local yards. The train had not
quite stopped and his foot was
pinched between the two coup]ers.
Mr.. Neabeauer was taken to the St.
Anthony's hospital where his injury
was dressed.

session for the 1909 legislature is
the prediction of many of the men,
bers, a number of whom we're in ST..
Paul yesterday.
In previous years the members
have been paid by the day. They
we're allowed to be in session ninety
days, and if they adjourned sooner
they would get paid for less time.
The law was construed so that the
ninety days provided in the constitu-
ton was made to mean working
days. Then they drew pay for the
Sundays and holidays in between: so
they actually got paid for about 106
days.
But after this they will have a
regular salary, $500 for each of the
two years, whether they have one
session of ten days or the regular
session of ninety days plus special
session of sixty days.
In former sessions it has been
very customary for the legislators
to take it easy at the beginning
of the session, meet Tuesday
morning, adjourn Thursday until
Monday evening, then meet without
a quorum and adjourn till Tuesday
afternoon. Little was accomplished
until the last thirty days of the
session.
But this year the members will
be minus their passes and they
will not be as anxious to go home
every week. A majority will spend

FEDERAL POWERS
ARE GREAT ENOUGH
Secretary Taft
Congress Has Not Yet Used
Them All, He Tells

State Department Can Make
Promises, But Can't
Fulfill Them.

NEW YORK. Feb. 29.-Secretary of
War Taft was the guest of honor and
principal speaker tonight at a dinner
of the Brooklyn Bar Association at the
Union League Club. So great was the
crowd Of diners that the meal had 10
be served in two sections, one party be-
accommodated in the main dining room,
and the other upstairs. All the speech
making took place on the lower floor.
Secretary Taft was introduced by
President Gilbert C. AIcDonaIdf of the
Bar Association.
Secretary Tafts speech was on 1.-THE
Constitution of the United States" At
the outset he declared that he was
neither in favor OF charging the powers
of the Federal Government so far as
they related 10 the States, Tor of curb
ing them below their present extent.
Power Under Constitution.
Congress, he said, had never. exceed

limit TO which. under the Constitution.
it would be justified TO increase the
judicial powers Of the United States
courts
Referring TO CALIFORNIA; refusal 10
Federal Government in the controversy
growing out Of the japanese riots, Taft
said:
1T puts our country in the most pusil-
luminous position Of promising that sub
jects of another country shall be prop
erly treated, and then Of having no
means Of carrying out the promise OF
OF furnishing those who violate 1t. Fancy
Of
who is obliged to say to a foreign
country:
1T is true, we agreed to protect your
citizens as subjects if they came over
here and conducted themselves peace
ably. but under cur government and
laws, while we made that promise and
had right 10 make it, We have nc
means of complying with it,
Can't Protect Foreigners.
I'VE are in "a situation now to say to
our foreign friends whose citizens may

of the treaty obligations; We can soOth
your feelings by paying out of the Gov
eminent Treasury the value of those
lives, but we can not save them. We
can not punish anybody for taking
them
Continuing Mr.. Taft said:
Il am not unmindful Of the temptation
10 extend by construction the Federal
power TO furnish adequate remedies for
abuses and evils which the State gov
ernmcnts have the power to suppress.
but in respect to which they show in
suHiciency of administration and OF
the enforcement Of law. 1 agree that in
10
tribunal OF last resort may lean toward
an expansion of tie Federal power and
that this Is a reason why the States
should always observe the utmost care
70 exercise the powers they have in the
interest OF law and order and morai-

Old mother earth was cutting up
some pretty lively pranks, espec-
tally in the neighborhood of George
town Tuesday. The residents Of
that section report that they felt five
distinctive earthquake shocks en-
that day between the hours of noon
and six in the evening. Still anoth-
er shock was felt after dark, which
in some localities was the most
violent of all of them.
Several people in Montpelier felt
one or two of the shocks but they
were slight, and not as distinct as
at Georgetown
The shocks felt at Georgetown,
were evidently not creatures of any
ones Imagination as every one com

shock. The heaviest shocks were
