Significant Historical Fact.

To the historian it cannot but ap-
pear as a significant thing that all
other previous great cruises in his
tory, with the exception of those un.
dertaken by English-speaking sailors,
have only resulted in disaster and
shame. There was the great cruise
of the Spanish armada, for instance,
launched against England by Philip IL
of Spain, which ended in such uttei
rout and disaster. j:
Then there were those ambitious
naval projects of the great Napoleon
resulting in the famous French cruises

st. Paul, Minn., Feb. 16.-Today
was probably the most uneventful in
the legislature of any day since the
session opened. But few new bills
were introduced in either upper or
lower house, and the sessions were
short and sweet"
In the house, DR.. ]. A. Gates intro.
duced bill which is of special in
terest in view of the investigation
pending against the operations of the
alleged school book trust. The Gates
bill creates state school book COM
mission, consisting of the president of

public instruction, state auditor, Sec
rotary of state, and state treasurer.
This commission is authorized to
every five years adopt a set of text

A. X. Ware of Mortified introduced

ent price in different parts of the state
for the same product or commodity.
Elmer E. Adams introduced a bill
which deprives county commissioners

side of the limits of municipalities.
The Duluth delegation introduced a
bill for fourth district judge in the
St. Louis county district, to hold terms
Of court the fourth Tuesday of Jan.

ended in the total loss of Spanish sea
power at Santiago de Cuba
When President Roosevelt gave his
first order that the Atlantic fleet
should start for its practice cruise
to the Pacific from Hampton roads, all
the European naval experts on the
continent permitted themselves to
doubt whether our ships could ever be
got ready in time, and whether the
long cruise could ever be accom-
plished without serious disasters. But

knew in his heart that the great feet
would be all ready and would start

There were also races between

state university to enter into an agree
ment with the federal government ut
Washington, accepting the proposition
to establish timber testing plant and
laboratory at the Minnesota state uni
versity. The resolution to this effect
In the senate was introduced by Sem
ator J. T. Elwell of Minneapolis, and
in the house G. H. Mattson Of Ro.
seau moved it's adoption. There was
no debate on the resolution, and no
opposition.
The establishment of the timber
! testing plant will be a great advance
in forestry work for Minnesota. The
new department will not only test tim.
Der, but experiment with various wood
preservatives, the use of different
woods and other materials for the
manufacture of paper pulp, and in
wood distillation for the production of
turpentine, wood alcohol etc. The
government will install a corps of IA
men with an annual payroll of $4,000.
These men may be used in general in
structfon work, and thus add greatly
to the strength of the faculty in for.
estry subjects. The government will
also equip laboratory and office at
an expenditure of 100000, which
shall be open to advanced students.
The state is only asked to furnish
floor space, light, heat, power and
trackage.
The tri.county delegation (St. Louis,
Hennepin and Ramsey today reported
a bill to the house to exempt social
clubs from having to pay a liquor H.
cense where they sold liquors exclu.
sively to members and not for profit.
Messrs. Brady, White and Opsahl
wanted the bill referred to the temper
ance committee. Messrs. J. H. John
son and Kneeland favored advancing
the measure to general orders, which
action was ultimately taken. The bill
provides that permit be issued to
clubs by the mayor or president of the
village council, after an investigation
by the mayor the city, and county at
torneys.
| Oscar F. Christianson of St. Paul
came to the front in the house with a
number of term extension" bills. They
call for constitutional amendments to
make four-year terms for all state Of
ficers, including lieutenant governor,
governor and representatives. R. j.
Wells introduced bill to compel all
corporations soliciting funds for polit.

tons to the secretary of state. Doyle
introduced two telephone and tele-
graph company bills. One declares
these corporations to be common car

road commission. The other prohibits
telephone companies from making a
toll charge for telephone service be-
tween adjoining cities, having special

earlier than the constitutional limit,
and that the last bills be introduced

week. 1t is doubtful If it passes, as
the legislature has an immense
amount of legislation pending.
In the senate today S. A. Nelson of
Fillmore introduced Auditor S. G. Ier-
sons bill to create new department

1t provides for one man to have charge
