UNDECIDED ON RECIPROCITY
Senator Clapp May Be 1nsurgent Re-
publican. e'-

United States Senator Clapp in a
letter on the Canadian reciprocity
treaty refrains from stating directly
whether he will support the measure
in its course through the senate Or
be fatfooted in opposition. He says
he is for reciprocity as a principle
but his advocacy is not for recipro-
city in the concrete as embodied in
the Mccall bill. .
The letter is sent to the public af-
fairs committee of the St. Paul COM
mercial club, in reply to a telegraph
query from the committee.
The Minneapolis commercial club
recently. sent letters to Senator Clapp
and Nelson urging them to support
the proposed pact. 1t has received
no reply from either.
The committee at a meeting yes
terday considered the advisability
of sending kilograms to the tardy SEN
ators. The Washington correspond
ent in dispatch today classes Senator
.Clapp with Senators La Toilette and
Cummings as among the insurgent
republicans who 4are antagonizing
the Canadian agreement at every
point.

received from the vicinity of Brain
erd to the effect that long smolder-
ing fires had broken out. He be-
lieves this is warning to the state
and recommends that the forest
ranger service begin at once. In the
meantime, the legislature is still
bordering over the proposition of
how the forests can be best guarded.
Efforts at a new reapportionment
bill are already pretty we'll frazzled.
The southern senators, who made
such brave start at drawing a new
measure, have already encountered
serious complications and the farther
they go the more discouraged they
become.
Exhaustive Investigations of the
natural resources of Minnesota by a
committee of two members of the
house of representatives and one SEN
ator is provided for in a. bill put in
by the house committee on public
lands. In part the bill says:
Whereas, the state owns about
100000 acres of state school and
other lands of which about 2,0OO,-
900 acres are established to be forest
lands and to require expert forestry
supervision, while the mineral wealth
of said lands is evidenced by the
fact that around 1 5000, 600 ton of
iron ore is known to be contained
in SO forties and, whereas, approx
imately SPA, 100000 have hitherto
been realized and invested in per-

HAS "a HOURS TO APOLOGIZE
II This Is Not Done the Representa-
tive Will Be Expelled From the
Legislature.

st. Paul, March 22.-eDaily Pho
neer Special Wire Service. RE
marks taken as an insult to Speaker
Dunn and to the House of Represent
tatives were made by Representative
klemers of Rice county this morning
and participated the widest and most
sensational scene at a session of the
Minnesota legislature for years.
AS result, Representative Klemer
was given twenty-four hours in
which to apologize and if he does not
do this, will be expelled as a mem
Der Of the House. ...- z
Representative klemer's charges
were to the effect that Speaker Dunn
had ''packed'' the committees for the
benefit of the special interests and
his own personal ambitions.
b Representative R. c. DUNN of
Princeton jumped to his feet and de-
clared that such an insult to the
speaker and to the House demanded a
prompt apology from Representa-
Klemer. Klemer replied:
Il have no apology to offer and
think that all will agree with me
that simply say what has generally
been understood and that is that
these committees have been appoint
ed fssrSa definite purpose. . -
The House was in an uproar, the
members striving to be recognized
for the purpose of upholding the
speaker as one of the best and fair
est presiding officers the state leg
iglature has ever had.
Representative R. c. Dunn moved
that committee Of three be ap-
pointed to wait upon Representative
Klemer and report back within TWEEN
ty-four hours. 1885,.
At this afternoon session Speaker
Dunn announced that this committee
would be made up of R. c. Dunn,
Louis c. Spooner of Nor
ris and Representative Pfaender of
New Ulm
After many members had endorsed
Speaker Dunn in fervent language,
the speaker addressed the house as
"Gentlemen of the House:-If Il
had been merely a member seated on
the floor this insult would have been
resented with vigor and promptness
and l assure you that it would have
Ut0H SOmetuluS VI SENSATION. 4
However, as I am the presiding Off
Ger I must control my feelings and
do nothing to interfere with the de-
corum Of this body, but I tell you
now, that I am not the man to re-
ceive an insult and not resent it and
l tell the gentleman from Rice that
his insult, shall be resented, perhaps
not at the present session, but when
it is over, for no man can insult me
while / have the mental and physi-
cal vigor to resent it.
Representative Klemer is one of
the mildest and meekest of members
and has little to say in the doings of
the house. It is understood this
afternoon that he will apologize but
that there is something behind his
statement and that in a way it eff
fects Lynn Haines.

LOCAL LADS WILL JOURNEY 70
JEFFERSON COUNTY SEAT SAT,
uRDAY--A HOT MIX.

The elimination OF one team from
the race for the championship OF
southeastern Iowa will in al prob
ability take place Saturday afternoon
at Fairfield when the OttumwA grid
iron warriors mix on the field OF honor
with the pigskin team OF JEFFERSON
county, The present dope on the sit
Iuation looks as II a tie game would
alone avert this catastrophe. For s4v.
eral years past the rivalry between
Ottumwa and Fairfield In tho football
pastime has been near the breaking
point and upon one or two occasions
the mix has boiled over with the result
that the games have been little more
than friendly football contest. But
the cause Is pardonable for the reason
that the Ottumwa- Fairfield game
means the spelling CT one or the 9TH
cr's chances for the championship.
The strength of the two aggrega-
tions has always been dangerously
equal and both are looking forward to
the hardest game OF the season. Fair.
field has q stronger team this season
than last, lighter perhaps, but faster.
OttumWa has demonstrated its
proves on the gridircn in the two
games already played this fall Coach
Harry has produced a wonderful i'm
proyement in the line this week as
well as the backfield and the Jefferson
county gents find themselves UP
against an awful game. Realizing the
bitterness Of this coming Saturday
mix the local warriors have been go
ing through a most rigid and strict
training. A game Is scheduled at the
Myrtle street park for this afternoon
when number Of cid players Of last
year, Epps, Stutsman, Vinson, and
others will oppose the first team with
the aid of the some twenty-one men
of the second squad. It will be tho
red and white warriors duty to heat
these thirty or more men with squad
of eleven. 1t may be said that the To-
calls are going into Saturdays game
with determinatioNt win and thus
practically clinch It's title to the cham
pionship Of southeastern Iowa
A great crowd of Ottumwa rooters
will journey to Fairfield with the team
to cheer the warriors to victory. Forty
students signified their intention OF
going last Monday and forty more will
be on deck when the train pulls out.
