are must await adjustment of off
ferenees between the house and
senate which is expected within a
week or ten days.
Three: Repuhlicasas--Berah,. La
Toilette and Norris-joined With
the. solid Democratic minority IN

Under the terms Of the bill a
commission Of five members, heed
ed by the secretary of the treas
ury, would have authority, subject
to the. approval Of the president,
J. to refund OF convert, and 20 extend
the time. of the payment sof the
principal or interest. or both, OF
the foreign debt.
The date of the maturity of the
obligations accepted by the COM
mission could not extend beyond
June sLs, 1884, ana the interest
rate could not be less than. ii
per cent. Bonds OF one foreign
government could not be- accepted
I for those OF another, nor could
any part of the indebtedness be

Aside from the section propos-
ing that interest on the refunded

inittee, the only important, change
made. in the bill by the senate was
the elimination Of provision

fund any claims which the United

against any foreign government. y
Efforts to add a soldiers bonps
provisions to the measure; to limit
the authority Of the commission in
deferring interest payments and to
require congressional approval OF
: the bond agreements failed. The
senate did adopt, however. an
amendments by Senator Walsh
pemocrat) of Massac chusetts re-
quiring the commission after the
conclusion of each refunding ne
collation. to report the results to
the. senate. Senator Walsh eX-
planned that the object was to give

Another Search
Warrant Decision

Minot Independent: Frand Rose,
better known as "Dago Frank -
charged with having liquor in his
possession, won an important point in
federal court Wednesday morning
when Judge Miller granted the mo-
ton made by Roses attorney, G. W.
Twiford, that the evidence be sup
pressed, on the grounds that whatever,
evidence had been secured had been
ordered destroyed, and also on the
grounds that the Officers had searched
the Rose room in the Grams block
without a legal warrant. This Wit
ually means an acquittal for Rose.
There are numerous other cases
that will undoubtedly be dismissed
on the grounds that illegal search of
the premises was made, the judge ru!-
ing that officers have no right to en-
ter mans residence or his place of
business in search Of liquor, without
having a valid search warrant in his
possession.
