This body convened for the evening
session promptly at o'clock, with fairly
full attendance, and Immediately resumed
the reading of senate bills on their pas
sage:
GAMBLING.
| At 11:30 Mr.. Hicks moved to suspend
the rules and take up two senate bills. one
relating to gambling and the other to lot
terles, and act upon them. Several members
objected demanding the regular order,
whereupon Hicks demanded the yeas and
nays upon his motion, the vote resulting
yeas 35, nays Al. Thereupon Mr.. j. E.
Child moved to suspend the rules and go
into committee of the whole upon the two
bills IN question and mortgage biIl,which
brought Mr.. Bobleter to his feet,
with the statement that he
was tired of dilatory motions, and he
| therefore moved to adjourn, but upon Mr.,
Child withdrawing his motion, he withdrew
ms motion to adjourn aud the regular order
was proceeded with.
TEMPERANCE AGAIN.
Late in the evening Mr.. Lydiard
moved to suspend the rules to allow the
temperance committee to report at this
time.
Mr.. Hill said this matter like Banquo's
ghost would not down. Placing reliance
upon what the gentslman from Rice (Mr.
Cole) said that the bill contained more OBJ
jectionable features than did his bill, he
objected.
Mr.. Rice said the gentleman from Vino
ma went little too far in his statement.
he said that it contained some objection
| able features, but as he had said before he
| believed If some temperance legislation
was not had at this time that two years
from now the prohibitionists would
come to this hall in much
stronger force than they had this winter.
Mr.. Hicks said this was the mildest
measure that had been presented and he
appealed to the magnanimity of the house
to give an opportunity for a square vote
upon the bill.
MIR. Bobleter said if temperance people
would only see to enforcing the present
laws there would be no demand for further
legislation.
Mr.. Grimshaw thought if something
after the style of ice water and reform was
passed and sent to the senate it would be
good thing.

lost, receiving but Sc votes.
VETO SUSTAINED.
On motion of Mr.. Jas. Smith, Jr.. tbs
bill revising and continuing the act grant
ing swamp lands in aid of the Princeton
d Anoka railroad, was read a third time
and put upon its passage, notwithstanding
| the veto of the governor. The vote was,
yeas 81, nays so, so the bill was lost.
LABOR TO REFRESHMENTS.
At u, midnight, a recess was taken to
sample huge lunch set up by Col Allen,
of the Merchants, at which pleasant duty
some fifteen minutes were spent Upon
being called to order again there was
strong feeling for adjournment, which was
voiced by Mr.. Hill in motion to that eff
feet stating that in the ap-hazard way
bills were being considered more harm
would be done to the state than
good had been done during the entire
session, but the motion to adjourn
was lost. At the time, hswever, but only
a bare quorum was in attendance, and
there was so much confusion that it was
with difficulty the clerk could ascertain
the wishes of member in voting. Ten
minutes later another effort was made to
adjourn, but again the motion was voted
down by small majority.
