house passed fell down in tho council
<m account of the $100,000 put in for
the Onthrio library building. Another
cause of dissent ion was tho passage of
a hill to divide Woods county whieh was
opposed by the two councilors from
that county, and who balked on the
buildings bill until tho county bill was
defeated. The council hold intermit-
tent sessions and recess sessions, the
latter for negotiations. The bill as it

tions: For a penitentiary at K1 Keno,

A council joint resolution came up in
the house in the form of a memorial t«.
eongross for statehood, and opposed bo-
on use, as assorted, the people of Okla-
homa do not want statehood with its

feat the resolution was lost by I".' to 11.
t It was then amended t« include In-
clude Indian Territory, adopted and
sent back to the council.

tho W oods county division bill, voted
unanimously to name tho new county

a largo number of messages reporting
act ion on bills, and many of them were
aoteil on in committee of the whole
council.

amendments to the bill requiring sep-
arate schools: the bill authorizing

there was an exciting scene in the
council. After the journal was read
adjournment was moved. President
Hellamv called for tho ayes and quickly
declared the motion carried, paying no
attention to the call for a division.

were made, bitter and cutting, but v.s
' members refused to answer to their
names a call was not effective.
1 The house discussed the public build-
ing bill for four boat s and passed •
after amending it to include $100,000
for a library building at Guthrie.
There was an extended and exciting
struggle to get the bill considered
which divides Woods county. and
names a part of it Melvinley county.
The bill was tinally passed.
The council did but little business;
the members being concerned in the
struggle going on in the house.
The council returned the bill to tho
governor whieh had been recalled iri
the previous day.
The house passed the bills: for in-
spection of oils: creating a board of
agriculture; the free library bill, all
council bills.

its session in Honolulu on the ".'Otli of
last month and has been in session
ever since
On the third day of the session Sec-
rotary of tho Territory Cooper was
unceremoniously ordered out of the
house and escorted by the sorgoant-at-
arms. Acting under the section of the
territorial act which provides that he
shall "record and preserve the laws
and proceedings of the legislature,*'
Secretary Cooper took up a place on
the tloor of the house with a steno-
grapher to secure a record of the pro-
ceedings.
Represcntativc Hockley, independent,
offered a resolution requesting him to
leave. The resolution set forth that
his presence < n the lloor w as a viola-
tion of the rule that the three depart-
ments of government, executive,
judicial and legislative, must be kept
separate and it was urged in debate
that Governor Pole had put Cooper
where he was with a view to intimi-
date members by letting them see that
the executive officer was taking steno-
graphic report of the proceedings.
Cooper was declared by Republicans
to be present as a representative ot'
President McKinlev. as he had been
ordered to transmit a report to Wash-
ington, but even this plea did not
deter the independents After long
debate, they passed the Bei kley reso-
lution by a vote of .0 to the nine

to confer with the secretary of the in-

government has ceded the land to the
state for a public park', and the grant
was accepted with the understanding
that a clear title be given. This can-
not be done until the rights of the
squatters are determined. Mr. God-
dard thinks there will be no difficulty
in having them removed from the re-
servation.

TRIAL OF SALOON SMASHERS.
.Iud|;e I>hI« IImm Settled I ontlrllmu ob

Wichita, March 11.—The trial of
Mrs. Nation and her throe partners in
the hatchet brigade in the Sedgwick
county district eourt, tilled the court
room with speetators. The charge
was malicious destruction of property,
the penalty of which is six months in
jail and 3?." oo fine. \ jury was secured 1
with difficulty.
Judge Dale would not permit the use
by witnesses, of the words saloon or
saloon keeper.
The defense asked for one of the
saloon keepers to be called as a wit
ness to prove that I10 is in the saloon
business and that lie is an outlaw under
the eyes of tho law.
•lurlge Dale refused, saying. 'YouV
demand is foolish and we will not
listen to arguments." Mrs. Nation's
attorneys fought the case on the
theory that no person acting upon tho
advice of a lawyer as to the legality of
action can bo held responsible for an
offense committed against the law. r*
Since Mr. Nation's voluntary admission
that ho advised his wife that it was n«>
erime to wreck saloons there is sou
talk of proceeding against him as an
accessory before the fact, and he may
be arrested.
Senate in Kxtrn Session.
Washington, March 7.—Senator Piatt
(Conn.) offered an amendment to the
rules to limit debate. An immediate
discussion was not expected, but there
was a general desire to express con-
demnation by the members of the
minority, several of tin m speaking.
Senator Mason (Ills.) gave notice of an j
amendment as he thought Senator n
Piatt's measure did not go far enough.
His amendment was drawn with a view
A making it impossible for a minority
to control the majority. Senator
Mason said that the senate was the
only legal body in the world where a
majority is controlled by a minority.
