In the afternoon he was tendered a reception by the Clover club, composed of the leading Irish-Ameri-cans in the city, and addressed the organization, instituting a comparison between the English and American prison systems. Mr. Redmond says that when he returned to England he will bring the matter of the prison sytem of Great Britain before parliament and make an effort to have it improved and make it more humane. NORTHWEST SNOWFALL. Oldlnsliiotmd Storm VinitN the Dakotan, Miiiuenota and Wlncnnsin. Sr. Paul, Jan. 18. — Yesterday throughout the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin a regular oldfashioned snowstorm prevailed, and the mercury dropped slowly. A heavy snowfall has been very generally reported, and a gale has drifted it badly, demoralizing streetcar service in the cities and generally interfering with transportation facilities. The heavy fall of snow will bo good for the coining crops, and is, therefore, welcomed by farmers. The usual reports of big drifts have been received from various points. The storm was reported first over in Dakota and later put in its appearance in this state, a warm but heavy snowfall opening the siege, bnt now the temperature is much lower, and a keen wind adds to the discomfort of belated pedestrians.

In connection with the above a number of Governor Bushnell’s friends are openly requesting him to resign as governor and then let Lieutenant Governor Jones, who would be his successor, appoint him senator. Jones would in that event, it is urged, be the Republican candidate for governor next fall by the turn of affairs. To strengthen the above statement, if strength is needed, all newspaper men who have tried to interview Governor Bushnell about Hanna’s candidacy for the senate know that he lias always courteously declined to talk about it. In view of this fact, it is argued that if there was no abjection to Hanna, the governor would speak out. DiM<*iiH«©s the Mutter With No One.

Municipal Flection 111ihhIsIi©«1 ami Terror.

Akehuts, Ga., Jan. 18.-Th- village of Byron, iu Houston county, has been in a state of riot in which four men. C. C. Richardson, C. L. Bateman, C. C. Bateman and R. H. Huskies were shot and others held in terror. The trouble grew out of an election for municipal offices held two weeks ago which resulted in a tie, the town dividing into two bitter factions and charges of fraud being fully interchanged between tlie

leaders.

A second election was called for Saturday to decide the contest, in which every voter was brought up to the polls, not a change taking place m tlie imliti cul alignments, thus causing fear of a second tie, which was actually the result. The leaders of the factions were Charles L. Bateman and O. U. Richardson. Unfortunately they approached the ]hi11s at the same moment, when a personal collision took place, in which guns were produced. Their followers made a rush home for arms and in a few moments the village street presented a warlike scene. The telegraph operator, who was a lady, abandoned her key in terror, and thus for hours the outside world was cut off from communication. The arrival of the sheriff about dark restored comparative peace, but late at night the trouble was renewed, and at the ringing of tlie schoolboll the entire population was once more in the street. The sheriff succeeded in establishing his authority. bnt the feud, now started, especially since the election has to be held over again, is looked upon as one to result in further bloodshed.

Indianapolis, Jan. 18.—There is opportunity ami expectation that the general assembly will get down to business during the present week Nearly too bills have been introduced thus far, while only the most trivial have had consideration. Among this number there art* a great many which have in view the same ends. , It is really surprising to note the number of members who want to attach their names ton law against trusts or iu favor of compulsory education. An etpial number want to pose as the author of a new apportionment law, or an act against the sale and use of cigarettes, or a measure compelling the destruction of wild lettuce, thistles, etc. In fact, bills run to these subjects and there will have to be a weeding out before much can be accomplished. In the senate this process I has already begun, and the house will get after them soon. It seems almost certain that a mild compulsory education law will be passed, but that it will be so drawn as not to interfere with private or parochial schools. Cigarettes must go, it is claimed, as also must pernicious weeds. The election law will be amended so ;is to prevent fusion, but some of the other amendments offered arc likely to fail. One of the numerous legislative bills will become a law, but it is certain that the one adopted will be altered in some respects before meeting approval of a majority. A rearrangement of eongresslonal districts is uncertain, some doubt being expressed as to the advisability of a chang" at this time. The general educational bill, prepared and indorsed by the State Teachers' association will likely go through some time during the session. Committees are expected to get in shape; for many rojiorts during the next few days, when soincthidg tangible is expected to result from the labor performed in committee rooms.

Di ief Senate SenHion.

Indianapolis, Jan. 18.—The senate held a brief session Saturday, at which eiglit new bills were introduced, a number of measures read the second time and sent to an engrossment and half a dozen bills killed upon committee report. Among those that perished were Senator Holler's pure food bill, Senator Schueck’s bill providing for an examiner of public accounts and Senator Self's bill providing for a commission to codify and revise the laws relating to city, county and township government. MKIIIOD8 OK LEGISLATION. ContrastH of Flan of IIuimIIiiim Measure**

Indianapolis, Jan. 18.—A very noticeable difference in methods prevails iu the house and senate. In the latter body a bill having back of it some special champion has excellent prospects. while one which lias no member to make a special plea for it is likely to get a death blow in committee. In this branch there is great reliance placed in what the senator introducing a measure may say for it. Bills are printed, of course, and laid on the desks of members if reported favorably by the committee, but not one in 10 is read, with the result that the explanation of the committee chairman is accepted when

the measure is up.

In the house it is different. Every bill is read through on introduction, the commendable curiosity of members to know all about measures before voting on them being thus satisfied. This seems a waste of time, particularly when so many bills art* practical duplicates, but it gives greater enlightenment

to representatives.

Caucus measures and measures of large public import, with which all members are familiar, are always handled niui'h more promptly iu the house than iu the senate, and the house is always much more amenable to the pressure of public opinion than is the

senate.

He has not returned An anonymous letter from Green Buy reached Sheriff Starr Friday night, the writer saying he was satisfied a murder had been committed anti asking that an investigation be made. Sheriff Start and Coroner Sells went to the Hoorebeck home Saturday afternoon and met the Fritz woman, who admitted that on Thursday before Mrs. Van Hoorebeek’s death lit' knocked her tlown twice and in falling sin* struck the tioor on the back of her head, producing a large lump at the base of the brain. She was carried ui>stairs and died two days after. Telegrams were sent to Green Bay to have the man arrested on
