bridge bill, which authorizes the Mil
waukee aud ST Paul company to
bridge the Mississippi near Lacrosse,
was vetoed, but the land grant bill
passed the scrutiny of His Excel n
cy, and was signed. Tue bridge bill
was passed in the Assembly over the
veto by barely a two-third majority.
In the Senate on Wednesday, when
The message was read to that body,
the excitement was intense. 1t

ton of little importance, but to the
people of Lacrosse, and to the friends

grew to one of vast magnitude, and
had its influence to arouse the svm>
pathies of almost everyone on one
side or the other. The vote in the
Assembly against sustaining the zee
to was 60 to %. When the question
reached the Senate, the interest was
almost indescribahle. The Chamber

speeches we're made on both sides OIL
