ANOTHER TOP NoTCHER.
May Wheat at the S1.66l2 Mark on
Chicago Board of Trade

CHICAGO. Feb. 5.-Wheat advanced
swiftly today to new high record
war price. 1t took only a brief time
for the May option to reach $lG6la,
a jump of 23s cents compared with
last night. The previous top notch
quotation was on Feb. >, $166.
Something like selling stampede en-
sued after the market had climbed to
81 81 for May delivery. Seaboard offers
to resell wheat in Chicago surprised the
bulls and there was also an element oil
depression in the fact that corn which, to
large extent may be substituted for
wheat, was not keeping pace upward with
the higher priced cereal The result was
a sudden drop of more than three cents
from the top figures attained by wheat.

Veto Of immigration Measure Sustain
cd by Margin Of rive Votes.

WASHINGTON, Feb 5. = President
Wilson 5 veto Of the Burnett immiFra,
tIen bill, sent 10 the house q week ago,
will stand. The house yesterday afternoon,
by vote of 26l to 1876, refused TO
pass the bin over the veto by the con
stitutional two-thirds vote. It was,
however, a close caH for Mr.. Wilson
A change of four votes would have
given the friends Of the bill victory
over the president.
1t was the third time. the house had
undertaken to pass an immigration bill
containing the =4itefaey test over a
President 5 veto. Two years ago an
attempt TO get the necessary two
thirds TO override The veto of President
Taft failed. President Cleveland also
vetoed q like measure. Yesterday was
notable as the anniversary of the pas
sage Of the B,lTRettl}ill by the house
1t was foregone conclusion that il
the bill passed the honse ii would pass
4 the senate, the last vote there being
30 to Z. ..,
OF the d2;t members Of the house
800 were present The entire day wa.
given over to debate under the five
minute rule. At times the discussion
arose to unusual heights OF oratory. Or
one side the appeal was made for tn,
oppressed and down trodden Of othe
lands, and on the other the argumen
for fair play to tire American workman
was urged.
Mr.. Moore of Pennsylvania. VIII
closed the debate for the Republican
in opposition to the measure, began hi
remarks by reading from an ancien
document adopted once upon u time j
his district in tile city of Philadelphi;
which declared that all men were hor
free and equal, and among other thing
complained that the King of Englan
in that day was preventing Immigrant
from coming TO this country.

TRAIL THINKS BILL
Will OPEN Way
TO SALARY GRAB "
The Matter of Bill in Which the Judges May Collect
Money for Transportation Looked Upon With
Disfavor.

Bismarck, N. D. Jan. 22-Represen.
tatives in the house today refused to
take the judgment of the senate on
the matter of providing a way to Sc
cure to the district judges of the state
q way whereby they may collect
money paid out for Transports Ion
when going to hold court j. other Ian
their home county. Senator Wartner
introduced such bill in the senate
and it was passed by that body. 1t
was recommended for passage in the
house but opposition developed when
it came to a vote.
Burnett of Trail was against the
bill and he stated that in his opinion
it was going to "open the way to a
salary grab" and that as this legisla-
.ture had started out with the idea of
making a record for economy this was
one of the times to get in their work.
Those in favor of the bill showed
where it was working an injustice to
the judges in the western part of the
state, in that they were compelled to
travel long distances and expend
much money while the men presiding
in the district courts in the eastern
part of the state were out compare
lively little for that expense.
T. Twichell was in favor of the bill
and called attention to the fact that
when the present compensation was
set all the judges had railroad passes
and did not pay money for transporta-
ton but that now that the legislature
had cut out the passes it was up to
them to "go into our pockets and pay
for all these reform measures"
The final vote on the bill was Al
for it, 81 against and nine absent and
not voting, Ployhar moved the clin-
cher and it was carried. Just about
the same time that Ployhar moved the
Clincher Thompson Of Ward, who had
changed his vote from aye to nay
made an effort to get recognition from
the chair for a motion to reconsider
but the man from Barnes was given
the floor and made his clincher mo-
tiOn.
Martin Resolution Adopted.
The senate resolution calling for an
invactip pa tion into the affairs Of the
tax commission with an idea of ascer-
tanning whether or not it has been a
profitable investment for the state was
adopted by the house and Speaker
Hanson appointed Baldwin, Kellogg
and Burgett as the house members OF
the committee of six to act upon it.
