WORK LIKE BEAVERS.
Remarkable Industry of the EIev-
enth Assembly.
Both Awaiting the Reports of Com
mittees.
A Full Report of the Business
Transacted Yesterday.
UNPRECEDENTED DISPATCH.

Both branches of the assembly are
transacting business with unprecedented
dispatch. When the house convened at
2 o'clock yesterday there was nothing
awaiting the action of the gentlemen. In
the council a thirty-miuutc session was
held in the afternoon, all the files being
cleared. Committees we're in session the
remainder of the day, and the reports
made this morning will furnish material
for legislative consideration.
The house is an~xiously awaiting the re-
turn OF the election and other bills long
since sent to the printer.
House of Representatives.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
During most of the morning session the
house was in committee of the whole,
Mr.. Mccormick in the chair. Here is a
synopsis of each bill considered. All
were recommended for passage:
Empowering trustees as wetl as benef-
Charles to release trust deed.
Exempting the first thirty firemen on
the rolls of every volunteer fire com
pany from Jury service. Secretaries of
organizations are required TO furnish lists
of the exempted men to the authorities
a specified time before court sessions.
To be deputy clerks of court only at
those places where court is held. This is
to avoid a dangerous confusion of records
now noticeable.
Amending the attachment laws SO that
non-residents and foreign corporations
are placed on the same basis with citizens.
These now have a considerable advantage
should they choose to avail themselves
of it.
All these bills were read a second time
and referred for eDgrossment, after which
they will come up for final reading.

Protection Needed.

Complaint has been made to Auditor
Grant, as territorial insurance commits
sioner, that several insurance companies
are doing business in Wyoming without
having taken out the license required by
law.
The insurance question was thoroughly
zone over by Auditor Grant in his report
to the governor and it seems incumbent
upon the coming legislature to pass
needed laws for the protection of policy
holders against unreliable companies.
Even should it be shown that a company
is at present doing business illegally in
Wyoming there are no funds to carry on
a prosecution.
