all went we'll until Senator Scheffer
rose. He said the bill had been before
them four weeks, had been thoroughly
discussed, inside and outside the senate.
Senator Durant-I rise to point of
order. The gentleman is not explain
ing his vote.
President Rice-He IS explaining it
about as much as you did. Laughter
Senator Durant-I congratulate the
gentleman then. More laughter.
Eventually the motion was lost by 25
until O'Clock. With the reassembling
Of the senate Senator Pope had adopted
an amendment requiring that the in
spectlon fee not to be greater than
necessary to defray the costs. Senator
Crandail had an amendment adopted
requiring that certificates issued by the
Inspector shall state the condition of
the animal, and providing fine of from
$40 to $50 for every animal falsely GER
titled.
Senator Hoard moved to strike out
section of the bill: Nothing in this
act shall be construed to apply to OF
prohibit the sale without inspection of
canned. smoked, cured OF salt meats"
1t seemed TO him that il the
legislature of Minnesota proposed to
iegislate for sanitary purposes and Sc
cure the inspection of the meat eaten in
the state, so that the health of the peo-
pie shall be preserved. it was especially
important that this inspection shall
cover canned and cured and smoked
and sailed meats, as well as fresh meats.
Numberless eases had come before him
where whole families were poisoned by
partaking of canned meats; and they
were leaving out the most important

the measure alone obligatory in the
cities. A desultory discussion ensued,
the amendment being opposed on the
ground that it would make the bill uu-
constitutional. Senator Scheffer read
a letter from Gordon E. Cole declaring
the constitutionality of the bill in its
original form. Senator Durant did not
believe in taking Gordon E. Cole as
wade mecum on constitutional law Of
this state.
At this point Senator Ward raised a
sensation. He had heard lobbyist
accuse a brother senator of having sold
his vote, and moved that the lobby be
cleared from the floor of the senate.
He did not propose to allow any man to
stand behind him and accuse brother

yeas Is. nays so.
Senator Truax secured the adoption
of an amendment providing that ami

disease could be Immediately destroyed,
and no liability for damages obtainable
