ton, all holding once for tour years

that senators shall hold Office for six years,
one-thiTd of the senate going out every two
years.
The report of the judiciary committee
was not made in the constitutional conven-
ton to-day, as was expected. IL is under
stood, however, that it will recommend
three or five judges on the supreme bench
and eighteen district judges. Among the
propositions introduced was one that no
armed body of men shall be brought into
the state for any purpose whatever. This
is aimed at the detective police agencies.
A long discussion took place over resolu-
ton asking for information in regard to the
tide lani question, and IL was finally de-
feated, which indicates the feeling in favor
of selling the tide lands. The judiciary
committee reported in favor of submitting
at the same time separate propositions for
amendments the constitution. The com
mittee on legislation has almost completed
its report. IL decides adversely to the
minority representation scheme, and
recommends that the house be twice the
size of the senate, the latter to contain fifty
members.
