The reports. Then it secured an appropriation ,
Tor publishing worthless index, and if they
passed. TINS Dill, he would venture the assertion
mat next winter it would be before the Legis-
!ature with the plea that heavy loss had been
incurred IN the compilation and that the State
having endorsed the publication, it should now
step 1t and make their expenditure good.
Senators Donnelly and Henry favored the bill
On the ground that a compilation was needed,
and that if not done now as contemplated by
private enterprise the State would soon be
called upon to do the work itself at an expense
probably of $1,000.
Senator Houlton thought that the time for
the State to extend its endorsement was after
the compilation was made.
Senator Morton opposed the bill for several
reasons, one of which was that he did not think
it policy to cucumber the statutes with an en-
dorsement OF private enterprise.
Finally the motion recommending the bill be |
engrossed for third reading was defeated Is |
to Is.
The committee rising and the bill being re-
ported, Senator Donnelly moved that it be ex-
cepted from the report, which was done. He
then moved that it be recommended to pass, on
which the yeas and nays were as follows

Adjourned.
Yesterday was another gala day in the
in ho
of similar character to those of Wednesday.
The interest of the day, however, centered
on the Scott county county -seat fight and all
other matters were evidently looked upon as
of secondary consequence. Both sides were
fully equipped and ready for the fray, and
both anticipated bitter and rotracted fight
i'll which more or less hard feeling would be
displayed. Nothing of this kind, however,
resulted up to the time of Mr.. Bohan's re-
marks. This gentleman was addressing the
committee and saying that inasnuch
as reference had been made to another bill
now pending in the House, and as he (Bo-
! han) was a member of the committee that
had recommended that bill to be indefinitely
postponed he was not willing that members
should vote on the bill now before the com
recommended for indefinite postponement
but still pending in the House, offered the
people of Scott county any adequate means OF
submitting the county seat removal to vote
and that he would read from that bill
to show that it was impracticable and
not proper substitute for the bill
under consideration. At this point Mr.
West interposed and declared the mem
Der from Blue Earth out of order, and
here a scene was imminent. Several mem
bers called out that he (Wcst) was in tho
chair as the servant, not the master, of the
committee, and that it was time enough fol-
him to rule the members out of order whe1
some member made the point. But Mr. Purdit
stemmed the rising tide by moving that thu
committee rise, which was carried withou
opposition. After the recess had been take1
Mr.. Vests summary proceeding was yer,
freely criticized and condemned in unsparine
terms.
After recess, Mr.. West being again in th,
chair, the bill was taken up. Mr.
Kinds certainly did the square thing
! in disclaiming any intention to pre-
vent Mr.. Bohan being heard ant
insisting upon that gentleman's proceeding
in the line of remarks he was indulgins
when called to order during the morning
, session. Mr.. Bohan, after advertng to tn,
fact that he had been called to ORDER pro
ceeded to say he would now show that TIN
Kinds bill was not what would meet the re
; quirements of the people. Here he wa
again called to order. Mr.. Bohan appealed
and the Chair refused to entertain the an
peal. Here there was pretty good chanc
for rumpus, but this the chair stopped b
forthwith putting the question on the in
definite postponement. The result is note,
elsewhere, and being satisfactory to the pre-
: yailing sentiment Of the House was above,
to pass.
$ The ruling of the chairman was clearl,
wrong, but good results more than suf1icien
to counterbalance the wrong followed. MI
: West is in reality a good presiding officer
: and while in the chair a large amount O
{ business was transacted, but the experiment
he tried yesterday would scarcely justif
repetition. The following is the
: Routine Report
ST.. PAUL, Feb. 14-Mr Hicks called up Tn
resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Mead re
lating to furnishing three copies to the mem
bcrs of the report of the commissioner of sta
, tistics. Mr.. Hicks stated that the matter h,
been amicably arranged between the Stat
printer and the party who did the work, All
f that the State would only be called upon
pay for the work once and then to the Stat

the cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis, and fo
one he had no disposition to have the dirt
: linen of either party washed here in til

i olution was out of order, the members ben

sustained and the matter was dropped
