HOUSE.

L l.
| the effect that there was certain re-
| port of Secretary Hart on file in hlle
| hands of the board of corrections aad
| charities which for some reason was rot
printed in their annual report. The sa-
| port was alleged to contain certain facts
| as to extravaganza in the management
| of the school for detectives, and ought
to be given to the house. The pur ll~set
| of the resolution was to secure the re-
port and have it printed. Mr.. Young
| moved as substitute that committee
of three be appointed to examine the re-
port and find out what it contained, and
| if it was deemed important enough the
| house could order it printed after they
should report. This motion was carried
by small vote, and Messrs. Young,
| Fleming and Hudson Wilson were ap-.
pointed as such committee.
| Some time ago resolution was pass
| asking the judiciary committee to coa-
| strue the law in regard to the time wf1ef>
| the legislative session shall end The
| matter was referred to Mr.. Hay and he
| has sent in his report. The conclusion
he reaches is that the ninety legislative
| days in the law mean ninety days On
| which the legislature could sit, which
carries the session to April %, which in
cludes ninety legislative days, fifteen
| Sundays and one holiday. The twenty
| day limitation on the introduction of
| bills is taken to mean twenty days OF the
| ninety days, and, if the legislature
should by joint resolution adjourn before
| the expiration of that time, only that
much of the twenty days as had at that
time expired would be meant. This con-
struction, undoubtedly the correct one,
| makes it impossible to introduce bills
| save on the recommendation of the gov
ernor after March 80, the next day being
Sunday. The report will be printed in
| the journal.

| SENATE.
| The senate had very brief session,
with bare quorum at roll call and less
than a quorum at the adjournment.
Only two bills were introduced, of which
one is in precise terms and wording the
same as the house bill providing that the
oil inspector shall subsist on salary and
turn his fees into the state treasury. Mr..
Keller introduced resolution calling on
the state inspector of steam boilers to
furnish the senate with a statement of
the number of boilers he has inspected
and of the fees accruing therefrom. and
forms of licenses issued to engineers.
1t was adopted The house bill Qcclar-
ing the emission of dense smoke from
chimneys in St. Paul a nuisance was put
on it's passage. but not enough senators
voted in the affirmative to carry 1t and
it was therefore declared lost. 1t will
probably be brought up again, however,
on a motion to reconsider.
