home are dearer than politics" Much specula-
tion is rife as to the fate Of the bill In the
council.
HURON, Oak, Special TELEGRAM, Feb; l2..The
ing Beadle and Sphinx counties gives great salts
faction here. No fears are entertained that 'he
al will pass over the veto.
The council devoted the greater portion of
the afternoon to the consideration of Bill No.
73. creating terri torial board of railroad
commissioners and regulating transporta-
tion. The bill ia substitute for Col Smed-
ley's bill, Mr.. jones' bill and the Oliver bill
that passed the house some two weeks ago.
The friends of the Oliver bill, led by Mr.:
AUSTIN, were desirous that it should pass the
council without amendment, and made q
gallant fight for 1t to-day in committee of
the whole, but were unsuccessful They en-
aeavored to attach it as an amendment to
the substitute bill but were voted down by a
large majority. Walsh also attempted to do
the same with his bill on the same sub
iect, and met with the same de-
feat The bill was recommended
Tor passage by the committee upon
rising, and it will pass tomorrow when 1t
.omes up for final consideration. In the
.aouse it will probably meet with considera-
Die opposition. as Mr.. divers bill went
through with nearly a unanimous vote. Mr.
rwomey introduced q bill to-day appropu-
lting SO, III for the purchase of furniture
lsed in the capitol building. All the furni-
lure now in use was placed in the building
BY A r. Andrews & Co., Of Chicago, with the
understanding that they were to take their
chances on securing payment for the same.
THE CAPITAL REMovERs -
have stoutly insisted from the outset that
shey would never consent to the payment of
cent toward furnishing the building Hence
considerable music may be expected when
she bill comes up for consideration. The
Judiciary committee reported back some two
! lozen bills to-day, fully. two-thirds of them
Anfavorably. These measures consist mainly
\ IF attempts at tinkering with the laws by
amending them, and are of little importance
The work of the committee will doubtless be
endorsed. Bills introduced:
e BY Mr.. Pettigrew, relating to the salary of dis
srict attorneys; also, repeating the law requir-
ing clerks Of court to be elected bv the people,
