11 IK IN II HOUSE
BRIEF S&9SIONS ARE SCGGESTI
OF ABSENCE OP IMPORTANT
BUSINESS
THREE DAYS' RECESS TAKEN
Jocolison'ti Bill to Increase Gross
Earnings Tax on Railroads
Made Its- Lung Expected
Appearance.
The house established a precedent last
week in meeting on Monday morning.
This was the first such meeting during
the present session. It compensated for
this extra effort, however, by adjourning
Thursday noon to meet no more until
tonight at 8 p. m. The long recess was
taken, of course, in observance of Wash
ington's birthday.
The brief sessions of last week are no
exceptions to the rule this year. It has
become quite suggestive that the house
is confronted by little important business
this session. Having disposed of the tax
commission bill there is perhaps nothing
of .half this measure's importance to
come up now.
On Monday the house witnessed the
introduction by Mr. Jacobson of his
mueh-talked-of bill to increase the rail
roads' gross earnings taxation from 3
to 4 per cent. The bill was relegated to
the supervision of the railroad commit
tee. On the same day two normal school
measures were presented, one by Mr.
Mallory, of Duluth, and one by Mr. An
derson, of Winona. The former calls
for an appropriation of $204,000 to be
used for making Improvements to the
live schools of the state. The Anderson
bill provides $55,000 for the currelit ex
penses of the year ending June, 1902, ap
portioning this among the five Institu
tions. This is a much smaller amount
than was used during the last" year for
this purpose; at least the separate
amounts are much less.
Tuesday the house was as quiet and
inactive as it has been on almost any
day of the session. The only bill of in
terest was one hy Mr. Johnson, of Hen
nepin, to provide for the appointment of
a court of arbitration, consisting of three
members.
Speaker Dowling's bill, raising the sal
ary of county commissioners from $3 to
54 a day, passed the house on Wednes
day with several other measures. There
was a fight on the bill to the very last,
Mr. Sageng, for the minority, and Jacob
son, for the majority, taking the lead in
opposing- the measure. The speaker had
precluded the possibility of Mr. Plow
man, an avowed enemy of the bill, from
participating in the effort to accomplish
its defeat by calling him to occupy the
chair.
On Thursday, the last day of the
week's operations. Mr. Hickey's bill, reg
ulating the rate of Interest on contracts
arising from the sale of state lands, pass
ed. The passage of the bill was regard
ed as a victory for the people of the
state, since it will save to them a great
deal of money. Heretofore the interest
required by the state on school land pur
chases was 5 per cent, and the bill re
duces this to 4. The state cannot legally
collect more than 3 per cent on the
bonds when disposed of to other parties,
and, as the principal of the purchase can
not be remitted to the state by the pur
chaser of the land in less than fifteen
years, the payment of 2 per cent more
for this period than the state could re
ceive on the second transaction has
amounted to a heavy loss to the residents
of the state.
A bill of more than ordinary interest,
because of the political motives believed
to be back of It, was introduced by Mr.
Riley Thursday. It provides for the
abolition of the office of chief grain in
spector of the state, transferring the
work of that office to the state railroad
and warehouse commission.
S. D. Peterson on the same day pre
sented a memorial to congress, which
was passed under the suspension of the
rules, asking for the establishment of a
federal building In every town In the
state where second-class postoffice fa
cilities are enjoyed. New Ulm, the resi
dent town of Mr. Peterson, will be bene
fited if congress grants the petition.
During the week there have been an
unusually large number of applications
for local option received from the various
counties. Over fifty such applications
are now on the files of the house clerks
or in the hands of x the temperance com
mittee.
The total number of bills introduced
up to Thursday was 32.', and about forty
have been passed since the first of the
session.

addresses on various topics connected
with the work of the league, an anthem

SENT SPIRIT MESSAGES
CLOSING SESSIONS OF SPIRIT I A!,-
ISTS LARGELY ATTENDED.
The midwinter mass meeting of the
State Spiritualists' association, in session
the past three days at Odd Fellows' hall,
c.irne>: of Fifth and Wabasha streets,
closed last evening. The final meeting
was characterized by an attendance equal
in numbers to the other two meetings,
and in consequence an overflow meeting
h:id to he held in one of the small halls
adjoining.
In nil, during the day, three meetings
were held, one in the morning, another in
the afternoon and the closing meeting at
night. At all three spirit messages and
tests were given, this work "being ex
emplified by G. W. Kates and wife, the
missionaries of the state association.
At the morningl session Mrs. J. P.
"\Vhitwell, J. T. Raymond and G. W.
Kates gave twenty-minute addresses,
their remarks being along the line of
spiritualism and its application to every
day life. At the afternoon session H. L).
Barrett, of Boston, president of the na-
REV. ALEXANDER M'GREGOR,
St. Paul Congregational divine who says the foundation of lawlessness in the
republic is the saloon. ,
tional association, and editor of the as
sociation paper, gave a short address in
which he made a plea for soul culture
and mental deevlopment. Wealth, he
held, should be utilized in benetittins all
men and the principles of altruism ob
served in its respect to the ne_w golden
rule, which Is all lor each and each for
all. The trend of his remarks was that
man should give less attention to ma
te-rial things of life and more to the
spiritual welfare of the individual, lie
should study causes, not effect.
Short addresses were also given by
Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. A. B. N. Rich, Mrs.
G. Tyron and Mrs. Kates. As an addi
tional feature a children's lyceum was
held in the small hall, several of the
ladies being directed to inculcate in the
yu'jnfj idea, the tends of spiritualism.
At the closing session last evening,
spirit discrlptions and readings, many of
which were quite spiriled, were given by
Mrs. Z. B. Gates. Brief addresses were
made by Mrs. C. L. Stewart, Mrs. M. E
Root, Mrs. Pruden, Mrs. Edwards and
others. At this session refreshments
were served by the ladies of the St. Paui
association.
The meeting this year has been suc
cessful beyond expectations. The atten-
dance was large, followers from all over
the state bring present.
RETIREMENT OF HICKBORN.
PasxHKe From Public Life of an Al»le
Man.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The retire
ment «£ Rear Admiral Philip llichborn,
for eight years past chief constructor of
the American navy, marks the passage
from public life of one of the ablest men
in our history. From a shipwright ap
prentice at the Boston navy yards he
rose steadily through the various grades
of the construction branch of the service
until, in July 1893, he was appointed chief
of the bureau of construction and re
pair, the highest position in the construc
tion corps.
In ISSO, when congress determined to
reorganize the navy Admiral Hichborn,
then a naval constructor, was chosen to
serve as a member of the first naval ad
visory board, and four years later was
selected by Secretary Chandler to go
abroad in the capacity of a naval ex
pert to investigate naval progress in En
rope. He has been always a stanch ad
vocate of sheathed ships, and, in the
face (if strong opposition, succeeded in
having his type of vessels adopted into
the navy.
Admiral Hiehborn's designs of ships
and inventions of naval accoutrements
are in evidence throughout the service,
prominent among them being the bar
bette turrets, commonly known as "Hich
| born turrets," the i'ranKfin life buoy.
I which is in use in this and nearly every
! Kuroptan navy; submarine boats, water
-1 tube boilers, fireproof wood and a com
i plete set of ship boats, which have been
! adopted as the standard. The admiral
j also has been foremost in the design and
| construction of the battleships and cruis
i crs of the "new navy" now being con
: traded for by shipbuilders throughout
| the country. Admiral Hichborn retires
| by age limit March 4, but already has
! relinquished the active duties of his po
! sition.

WOMEN ENFORCING THE LAW
The Congregational Pastor Declares
It a DisgraeW Tnat "Rum Oli
garchy" Hum 'Sot Been
Suppressed.
Rev. Alexander McGregor, of the Park
Congregational chyich, delivered a force
ful sermon yesterday which, in view of
the wide swath being cut by Mrs. Na
tion, has peculiar/interest. The subject
was, "The Saloons." Jn part he said:
"The foundation of lawlessness in the
American republic is the saloon. The
open, flagrant and -continuous violation
of the law by the saloon Is apparent on
every hand. It is winked at, permitted
or sanctioned by our authorities. Now
these men have the audacity to tell us
that the sentiment of the communities
does, not demand the keeping of the laws
by this class of our citizens. The laws
which'they have sworn-to enforce in ac
cepting their licenses are constantly vio
lated. Is this because of ignorance or in
difference or complicity in the iniquitous
traffic? Is it because there is money in
it or because there are vote 3to be gain
ed? Whatever be the answer, the fact
itself is a disgrace to every self-respect
ing American citizen.
"How long will our great cities con
tinue under the pow^r of this rum oli
jrarchy? How long writ it be permitted to
debauch the political moral sense of the
people? Now, while some preachers and
editors decry the cyclonic movement in
Kansas and lift up their hands in right
eous indignation against this modern De
borah, may not the language given to us
by Jeptha be applied to these Kansas
magistrates?' 'Thou deliverest up mean
ly the authority which God hath given
thee into the hands of a woman; neither
do I .-egret it.' I for one am glad that
the woman has aroused the sleeping con
science of Kansas and the nation, und
while it is always dangerous to sanction
all the reformer's actions, there is no
question that thousands do sanction
them, and were she not executing the
law and enforcing it in the lines of law
long ago, she would have been convicted.
"In her zeal she' may make mistakes,
but it is fundamental in law that if the
officers chosen to execute it fail to do so,
it is then time for-the. people to take the
law into their own hands. The saloon is
outlawed In Kansas and has no property
rights. If the law; i^ not enforced, from
whence shall help> come? It will be to
our eternal disgrace and will make us a
by-word among the nations if women
must be made to enforce the laws.
"Do you know of the struggles between
the Spanish soldiers and the Dutch when
the latter were fighting for their liberty?
There was a time -whan many Spaniards
saved themselves tfrorri- the fire of their
enemies by placinfe tfomen in front of
them. It was cowardly, but the Span
iards did not hesitate:to do this. Shall
we be as cowardly? 1 hesitate not to say
that this cowardic£ of many good Ameri
can citizens is contemptible. Is it true
that politics have' become so important
to the liquor interests that they combine
to elect our lawmakers? Is It true that
the politician becomes greatly concerned
in this industry? Everybody knows that
the saloon is In politics.
"Should not patriotism and love of mu
nicipal order protect? Is not the purity
of the state and national politics endan
gered?"

Relative to the rumor abroad that the

of a board of control, Air. Lee refused

nols, Wisconsin and lowa, but only in
the two latter states Is there such a
commission as a board of control. In
these two ; states only the penal and
charitable institutions come under its
Jurisdiction, but In the measure advocat
ed by ex-Gov. Lind, Gov. Van Sant and
Auditor. Dunn, and which is now before,

Includes the educational institutions of
Minnesota. In Illinois, says Mr. Lee.
the institutions are managed by separate
commissions the same as In Minnesota
but there is much dissatisfaction; and
relief is promised in the shape of a bill
before the house of that state for a
board of control modeled on the Wiscon
sin plan. Michigan has no board of
control, nor is there any agitation for
such. An economical plan prevails, and
its seems to give satisfaction.
The system in Wisconsin and lowa he
says, does not effect any particular sav
ing in expenditures over the old sys
tem, but it is more accurate and the
accounts are more compact. There Is
no army of clerks as one would suppose
but on the other hand .there are less
in Dcs Moines, the home of the lowa
commission, not over a dozen clerks be
ing employed. The committee received
a better idea of the workings of a board
of control in lowa than In any of the
other states visited. The headquarters
are at Dcs Moines, and the commission
was created about three years ago by
legislative act. In lowa the same op
position as is now shown in Minnesota
to the scheme-reducing cost at expense
of efficiency-was pitted against the bill,
but the lowa officials say this objection
has been given a body blow. The allow
ance for support of the state institutions
is the same per capita as It was under
the old system, but by. reductions se
cured m buying in large quantities instead
of purchases by Individual boards better
goods are secured and. a saving effected
that enables the addition of many lux
uries. In the central office at Den Moines
the number of clerks has been gradual
ly reduced by the style of bookkeeping
adopted. It enables the board at any
moment to find out what supplies each
institution^ received and the amount
on hand. Each article Is accounted for
Once every month or so the chief ac
countant visits . the institutions and
checks up the supplies.
Mr. Lee says.the committee visited the
headquarters of the commission in each
state, and also the Institutions under
its control. Kvery phase of the situation
was investigated and Las been incor
porated in their report.
"I can only speak of the trip in gen
eral," said Mr. Lee, "any comment would
place the committee in the light of fa
voring or being oppose.! to the proposed i
commission, and for that reason I do
not care to talk of theorize until the
governor has made the report public.
It Is generally conceded that the report
will advocate the establishment of a
board of control. .The members of the
committee seem, enthusiastic over the
scheme, and, • though not committing
themselves in words, the inference given
is sufficient. C. A. Morey, of Winoaa,
will in all probability be a member of
the commission in case It Is created.
NOT LIKELY TO STRIKE
INDrSTRIAL EAST, HOWEVER, AF
PHEHE.YSIVE OF AI»RIL, 1.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 24.-The Com
mercial Gazette tomorrow will say:
While the Industrial East, with its rail
way and other interests' largely dove
tailed with the anthracite colleries, is
looking forward with dread anticipation
for the advent of April 1, as the day on
which another great miners' strike may
be called, the body of the United Mine
Workers of America is standing on a
conservative platform, which is reason
ably certain to obviate anything of the
kind. Even if the anthracite operators
refuse to meet the miners in joint wage
conference, it is barely possible that a
strike can be avoided. Consent, in any
form, if only tacit, to allow the present |
anthracite agreement to continue, thus j
opening the way for the miners to cor- j
rect various local conditions, promtee*]
to close the matter with all it
tions. In a conference the minfi o :.u.ve'
little to gain, save recognition for their
union. Miners of the nituminous fields
are naturally vastly interested in the out-
come of the proposed wage conference in
the anthracite iields. After discussing
the matter with a number of representa
tive miners in the Pittsburg district, the
| consensus of opinion would seem to bo
that since the bituminous fields have set
tled their wage scale at last year's rates,
barring local competition, the anthracite
wag? question might l>o settled on the
same basis. For the betterment of tho
condition of the anthracite miner, the
organization of the miners has already
taken steps to secure legislation in Penn
sylvania. They are asking state laws for
the payment by the ton Instead of by
the car, the establishment of uheck
weighmen and other desirable provisions.
For these laws all of the miners of Penu
sjHania and other districts wiil co-op
erate. The Indianapolis convention of
tho miners went on record as opposed to
a demand for a 10 per cent advance for
the anthracite districts, and every move
of that convention in relation to the an
thracite fields was for conservative ac
tion. The convention directed the offi
cers of the anthracite districts to block
a custom of operators to lay up largo
stocks of coal by ordering a curtailment
of work to meet the conditions of the
market. This Is now beins done, and in
it the miners are making their only ag
gressive move that may figure in the pro
posed settlement next month. A policy
for the proposed joint conference with
anthracite operators will be outlined at
a convention of the anthracite miners
and the national officials, called to take
place at Hazelton March 7.
W. D. Ryan, secretary-treasurer of the
Illinois miners, said recently in relation'
to the anthracite situation:
"With a satisfactory scale settled for
the bituminous fields a bitch in the an
thracite <ieids would hardly justify the
calling on strike of tho entire organiza
tion. Such an action would be a viola
tion of the Interstate joint, agreement
for the bituminous fields and the various
district agreements to which miners will
not consent."
This and next month are the periods
of district wage settlements for the min
ers.
In the Filtsburg district, a prompt re
afflrmation of the present scale will prob
ably be tied up for a time by a demand
of the miners for the check-off system.
This issue will be stubbornly fought by
the workers' <omm!ttee. and as obstinate
ly opposed by the. operators. It would
mean everything- to the organization here,
putting it in the way of trebling, in a
year, its present membership in good
standing of about 12.000.
Representatives of the miners are go
ing abroad in the unorganized lrwin and
Allegheny valley fields .They hope that
the organization may be in a position
to make a demand for the Irwin field,
with fair prospects of establishing it on
April 1, with the possibility of declaring
i strike and organizing marches.
