hopper raids. 1t will be found elsewhere in
full in this mornings GLOBE. The bill was
ordered printed and placed first on general
orders for this morning.
Mr.. Morse introduced a bill for the supar-
vision of Savings Banks and the more eff
cient protection of depositors, which APP
peared to be carefully guarded, and will no
doubt go far to remedy the evils now exist
ing in reference to these institutions. The
bill provides for the organization, manner of
investment of deposits, liabilities of officers
and stockholders, also detailed provisions as
to the mode and manner of doing business
and other restrictions thereof as tend to
more etfectually ensure the safety and sol
vency of such Institutions
The afternoon session was devoted princi-
pally to the consideration of bills in Com
mittee of the Whole. OF these the debate
on the divorce bill reported below was the
most interesting several good speeches hay-
ing been made both pro and con on the SUBJ
ject of so amending the law as to allow of
divorces for three years desertion, and also
for one year, if no issue of the marriage lie
living.
The question of lowering the waters of
Lake Oscar, In Douglas county, and also
swamp lake in Hennepin county, came up in
| the order named; but a far different fate was
| reserved for the two measures: The first
was lndetini tely postponed without much. if
| any. opposition, but when the latter was ia
ken up. contrary to the general impression,
the bill WIS recommended for passage. This
was owing, however, to the efforts of Messrs.
Morse, McDermott, Weinant and Ghostly,
of the Hennepin delegation, who made a
strong fight in behalf of the project, and
eventually carried it through.
| The Hastings and Dakota Extension Bill
with the several substitutes was placed sec
ond on the general orders for this morning.
On the Paris Exposition Bill no action
was taken. Mr.. Mills bill for the revision
and compilation of the statutes was taken up
and without opposition, recommended for
passage and will probably pass the House
this morning.
