Mr.. Durant put in a joint resolution
declaring the administration of President
Cleveland a wise and patriotic recogni-
ton Of the interests of the people of the
republic. Two or three senator's gave
notice of debate, and Mr.. Compton had
something to say about supreme gall"
Mr.. Ward said he could not vote for any
such resolution. In his opinion all the
acts of President Cleveland had been
Numerically opposed to the best inter-
ests of the COUNTRY. The resolution went
over under the notice. Mr.. Day then
put in one declaring the sympathy of
the senate with the Democratic members
in their grief occasioned by the fall of
the Democratic party from power, and
proposing an adjournment as a mark of
sympathy. Mr.. Durant jumped up and
gave notice of debate. MI. Brown moved
a recess of thirty minutes in order that
senators might have an opportunity to
''rejoice with those who do rejoice, and
weep with those who weep" 1t was
found, however, that the senate had
completed all the work of the session,
and an adjournment instead of a recess
was taken.

SENATE.
The most entertaining incident in con
nection with the senate proceedings was
the introduction by Mr.. Day of a bill
proposing q constitutional amendment
which will restore the old system of sixty
days sessions for the legislature. It is
the opinion of the reform members of
the senate that the legislature can do up
all its work inside of a couple of months
if it is SO disposed.
Mr.. Stevens interest bill was reported
back by that gentleman with the recon-
mendation that it pass without amend
ment. Mr.. II. F. Stevens reported q
substitute allowing agents to charge q
per cent. commission in addition TO the
interest. Voted down. The question
original bill, and it was carried BY the
narrow majority of IS to 30.
Among the bills that passed was the
house bill, as amended, proposing an
amendment to the constitution declaring
that five-sixths of the members of a Jury
is a sufficient number to determine civil
suits. The much contested Canada this
tie bill was turned over to Senator Eaton.
A discussion on timber culture fol-
lowed. House file 155, relating to the
encouragement of higher education,
which provides for the appointment of a
secretary to the board of education, met
with opposition from Senators Bowen
and Pope, and was sent to the judiciary
committee. Senate file 270, relating to
banks and banking, requiring that all
private banks shall use the word "pri-
vate" on their signs, letter heads, checks,
etc.. to distinguish them from incorpor-
| ated banks, brought forth an animated
| discussion, in the midst of which the
senate adjourned.
BILLS PASSED.-TO propose an amend
ment to section 4, article 1, of the con-
! stitution, to provide that only five-sixths
of a jury will be required to determine
civil actions.
To authorize and declare the effect of
certified copies of deeds.
To legalize records in the offices of
registers of deeds.
TO validate and confirm assignment Of
judgments made by the state auditor.
To amend the law relating to the So
| ciety for the prevention of cruelty.
TO regulate the sale of lands by relig-
ious corporations.
Many other bills of purely local in
terest.
Just before adjournment, MI. H. F.
Stevens bill making a three fourths ver-
dict sufficient in civil cases, came back
from the senate with an amendment
substituting five-sixths for three-fourths.
Mr.. Stevens accepted the amendment
and the bill was again passed. Messrs.
Barr, Dunn, Fleming, Halgren, Hanson,
Husher, Lassow, Maland and Merz vot-
ing against it.
Mr.. Heidemann sent up a bundle of
81 petitions from various parts of the
state, demonstrating against the submis-
sion of constitutional prohibition. b.
sides these there were fifteen others with
2,S47 signatures, all claiming to be legal
voters of the state. This is a straw.
Mr.. Willrich secured the passage of a
resolution requiring any COMMITTEES
which determines to report back any
measure adversely, to inform the author
of the bill of their decision before making
the report.
