DEs MONIES, Ia, April 1o.-As stated
in tho report OF Wednesdays session,
tho action Of the House in tabling a
motion 10 reconsider the vote to adjourn
finally April Is, makes certain the
wind-up OF the present Legislature on
Tuesday next. Since the Senate has
already taken similar action, this
leaves but four more legislative days,
and, with the appropriation bills, the
temperance measures, and school-book
bills, and q namber Of other measures
OF general importance yet to be settled,
IL is apparent that the sum total
of legislation for the session Will
be small. Thus far there have been
5l2 bills introduced in the House and
426 in the Senate, and of that number
only thirty-two have passed both houses,
been signed by the Governor and de-
posted with the Secretary of State. The
temperance legislation will simply
amount to leaving the present prohib-
itory law alone, and it is quite possible
that the resolution for resubmission may
not be reached.
DEs MONIES, Ia, April 1o.-In the
Senate this morning Ii was decided to
hold evening sessions until adjourn
ment, with the exception of Monday
evening. The license bill was taken
I'D. The question was On the amendment
by Mr.. Finn, providing that if any
counties decided in favor OF license
suitable inebriate asylums must be pro-
vided before any saloon licenses could
be issued. IL was voted down. An
amendment was adopted, allowing
towns OF 1900 the privilege of choos-
ing license or not Senator Schmidt
closed the debate. and on final vote
the bill was defeated by vote of II
to g.
