THE APPoRToNMENT BILL.
Senator Miller moved call of the senate,
| with view, as he said, of securing the at
| tendance of absent senator's, that the house
apportionment bill might be taken up and
acted upon. The call showed only some
twenty-n nine members present, but after short
wait further proceedings under the call were
dispensed with, and the bill taken up and
read third time.
The reading concluded, Senator Rice, of
Kandiyohi, asked unanimous consent to refer
| the bill so that he might offer an amendment
| detaching Swift and Kandiyohi counties from
the Third district where they were placed in the
bill, and attaching the same to the Fifth
| district. He explained that he had no desire
| to delay the bill, but being abb
sent sick when the bill had before
| been up for consideration, he had had no op-
portunity to offer his proposed amendment,
and as the bill was particularly Objectionable
| to his constituents, he claimed that it was but

matter. Senator's Powers, Adams and j. B.
| Gilfillan spoke strongly against the bill, the
latter gentleman coupling with his opposition

would pass any apportlonment bill, Minneso-

| Senator Campbell spoke strongly in favor of
the passage of the bill, not that it was such a

| Finally the motion of Senator Rice to re-

Senator Powers moved the senate take re-
