Afternoon Session.


whole matter was put over until Thurs
day next at l0:30 a. m., and the senate
took recess until 3 O'Clock.
Afternoon Session.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Senator March offered resolution
making the noon recess from II until .
o'clock. This was amended by Mr..
Davis, who desired that the afternoon
session should commence at , 80 O. clock.
After some debate both amendment and
resolution were defeated, and Senator
Seyatson created little flutter by in
Producing the following resolution:
Resolved, That joint committee of nine
be appointed. consisting of three from the
senate and six from the house. TO confer
with the propretors OF the Minneapolis eX
position building. with view 10 securing
the same for Il permanent STATE capitol.
This went over under motion of de-
bate by Senator Lienau amid laughter
by the outside senators. Senator Ste
vens next called up the resolution pro-
testing against the bill now pending in
congress allowing certain privileges to
the Minnesota Boom company, ana cali
ing upon the senators and represent
| atives of Minnesota to do all in their
power against it, and moved its adOp-
ton.
Senator Tawney thought it was very
! poor policy for the legislature of this
| state to seek to prevent the passage of
| bill which had for its aim the benefit
| ing of this state. The claim that the
| passage of the bill would retard naviga-
| ton was absurd, and would take buSi-
| ness that supports ninety boats away
| for the purpose of removing trif1lng, if
| any obstacles, in the way of ten boats.
| The logging business on the Mississippi
| does not interfere with navigation: but,
| even if it did. the lumber that Is manu-
! factured in the city of Wlnona alone is
| about ten times more each year than
| the total value of all the products car
| ried by Mississippi boats.
| Senator Stevens read the bill intro
| duced in the national senate by Mr..
! Washburn, and argued in favor of the
passage of the resolution. Boats were
! delayed, and the state of Minnesota had
| too much at stake to allow the Missis-
| sippi to be closed. Senator O'Brien,
! who had previously favored the resolu-
ton. turned in and opposed it. claim
| ing that the only point in the bill was
! the provision Obliging outside companies
! to pay their share of the cost OF operat-
ing the boom.
After considerable discussion the joint
resolution was voted down by vote of
% nays to % ayes.
