Of Senate Fill No. lOl. concerning for
eign insurance companies doing bust
ness in this STATE. Senate Bill No. los
was reported with numerous amend
ments, ana passage recommended.
The committee also reported on the
petition of john Cradlebaugh, finding
tina, the state j. under no legal ohliga-
ton to pay the petitioner any add.
;ional salary. but in consideration of
the value OF the services rendered
and the inadcquacy of the compeusa-
ton paid by the Federal Government,
and inasmuch A. the State paid the
Territorial Judges sums greatly in
cess of the amount asked for by the
petitioner. and paid large sums 20
other Territorial officers Of Ormsby
county, when the services rendered
were of no greater value. il SO much,
as the services of the petitioner, we
are Of the opinion that justice. equity
aud fair dealing demand some relief
AT our hands. We therefore
mend that n bill pass allowing the pc
titioncr the sun OF s., ZOO. \ bill here

Elko Ia Hamilton.
Moore moved Il make the bill the
special order for tomorrow evening
nj ; o'clock.
Cleveland said he could see no good
reason for the order. We understand
the effect OF the amendments in tie
Assembly, and there i probably no
member but who has made up his
mind how he will vote. | want to soc
the bill passed or killed-livc or die
to-day. III Il must die. die game right
| here. and no more ioolishneSS. Ii We
keep pD~tponing the bill dies a natural
| death. There are amendments which
don't suit me. but I can stand 70.
There j. a special order for tomorrow
night already, which may last to mid
night.

tor j. a very smart scnolar-but he
pre>umcs too much in saving every
one has made mp his mind how he vii!
vote. | ask 10 bc allowed to present
my objections To this bill; | am not
prepared now. | question his right to
say that every Senator has made NJ
his mind.
Cleveland said the Senator il very
duh 81 comprehension il he does not
Vet understand this hill. and i not YET
prepared 10 state his objections.
Bonnificld said the only question j.
on the concurrence OF the Assembly
amendments, and this j. the proper
time 10 take them up and act OF
them.
Hall said that the great point now
seems To- be TO gair time. lie did no
think the Senator from Elko dull q
comprehension. but this is the propel
time 10 consider the amendments. ON,
special order for night i
enough. 1 am sick and tired OF Thu
bill, aud want To- dispose of II n WAY
or the other. The other House has 80
bills now in committees, and cuisines,
j. crowding us.
Mccoy opposed the passage o
this hill in the beginning: l looked
upon il As not containing provisions
which il ought To contain. There wcr,
no restrictions on the company. /
was too Objectionable 10 have ptsse,
this body: II was 4 matter of surprise
il has been amended and passed tin
Assembly; / believe that the peopl,
desire the road. l would amend til,
bill in three points.
Hall interrupted. with the point o
order that the >enat is discussing tn.
merits of the bill, which is not nov
r before the Senate.
The Chair sustained the point.
Moore di>claimed any intention 4
r gain time unnecessarily.

was opposed TO such nonsense.
Amendment to Section 3.
Mills moved to concur.
Moore said the Senator from Whit
Pine Is mistaken. i plant myself o
| the proposition, o and always that
: legislative body has no right TO 20,
; away any money whatever for any oil
; jec: except for Governmental pun
poses. lie read from the state Const
: tuition a clause prohibiting aid to spe
: cial corporations. Is not this sectio
r to issue bonds in direct conflict wit
the Constitution?
Moore was ruled out Of order.
/, lie appealed from the decision {
the Chair.
The point raised was that Moore W;
: speaking TO the matter of the right
o the Legislature to issue any bonds
i all, while the question before the Sci
ate Is to the propricty of issuing Il
y amount named III the bill or not.
