In explaining his vote against the
adoption of the resolutions, Mr.. Searle
said that he did not believe any of the
charges to be true, and that no evidence
OF their truth was submitted. Mr.. Un-
derwood voted NO" because he con-
sidered the resolutions to be offered by
certain members of the house in
spirit of personal spite against this
road. There was "a WOOdchuck" in
the resolutions, lie said. which brought
Diment to his feet with the assertion
that the gentleman was out of order.
"He will bring an elephant in here
yet"
The chair ruled that Mr.. Underwood
was in order. Mr.. Hoyt voted No."
because he was sure the resolutions
would accomplish no good. Mr.. Heide-
mann changed his vote from Yes to
mo-" because the "alleged" inserted
made the last paragraph of the resolu-
tlons read Whereas, IG is alleged that

The speaker appointed the special
committee as follows: Diment, Flynn,
Sumner, Crosstield, Morgan, Eastman.
Stebbins.
An audible smile ran around the
house on four legs when these names
were announced.
OTHER RAIDS.
The special committee of the house
on investigating the alleged "watering''
of stock by certain railroads in this
state, have summoned the officials of the
Sault Ste. Marie road to appear before
it at o'clock this afternoon to give evi.
dence on this subject. 1t is alleged
that that road has ''watered" its stock,
and the Investigation grows out of
conflict arising last summer between
the railroad commission and the road.
Other roads will doubtlessly be sum.
moned before the merry war is over.

floor, was beautifully garlanded with
fags and flowers. In the centre stood
a two-story Japanese pagoda. Thelower
part OF the structure was a grotto built
OF rocks and ferns. The first floor was
occupied by the Germania orchestra of
100 Philadelphia performers, who PLAYED
the dance music. Above them, on the
second floor. the Marine band was sta
Toned. Under the direction of Band

the promenaders. The unique structure
