was opposed to the bill clean through,
and would have voted against it Oh its
final passage had he not made prOpo-
Sition that If a certain amend
ment was added he would vote
for it. Not quarter of an hour
previously he had heard Gen. Sanborn
say that he should object TO any amend
ment. To the surprise and modification
of Smith the amendment he suggested
was pushed through by the Sage.
If there's any glory in this record
Smith should have it.
The house joint resolution providing
for an extra edition of 5000 copies of
the legislative manual was called up
and passed, and Senator SeVatSOn
wanted to adjourn sine die. No one sec
onded the jackson senator's motion
and it was not put. A number of local
bills were passed on favorable reports,
among which were two of especial i'm
portance to st. Panl. One of these, in
troduced by Senator Stevens, adds
twenty-three acres around Lake
was bill reimbursing Marcus Sweeny
to the extent of $1,000 on the Langford
Park contract. When it came up SEN
ator Stevens put in all amendment plO-
Viding that the money should not be
paid until the contract is carried out
and that no local assessment should be
made upon the property benefited. In
this condition the measure went
through. The balance of the forenoon
was taken up in laSsing bills, chosen at
random, from the general orders. The
chair sometimes had great difficulty in
preserving order, as large number of
the senators were clamoriDg for recog-
milton at the same time whenever there
was an opening.
At 12:30a recess was taken until three
o'clock.
Executive Appointments.
The afternoon session opened with
score of senators Oh their feet, asking
that they might be allowed to call up a
bill. Several measures were passed in
this way before any trouble began.
Finally those who failed began to
clamor for the regular order. Motions
to suspend the rules failed in few
cases, and then the objectors had their
way, the regular order, which was OH
the reports of committees, being re-
Sumed.
When this was decided upon, the
lieutenant governor announced that he
had received an executive cOmmunica-
tiOn. This was handed to the secretary,
and proved to be list of all the no.
tarieS public appointed during the last
two years. They were promptly con-
frmed on motion of Senator Allen, as
were the following more important
nominations:
Commissioner of Labor Statistics! Rev. L.
G. Powers, Of Minneapolis, in place of j. z.
McGaughey resigned.
Trustees of the Minnesota hospitals of the
insane, John Peterson, of Nicollet county,
vice William Schummel, resigned; John W.
Masonic Otter Tail county. vice NJ. j.
Daniels, resigned.
An attempt was made to call up the
prison inspectors that have been hang-
ing fire during the entire session and
confirm them. but Senator Donnelly en-
tered a vigorous objection, and the reg
ular order was resumed. Committee
reports were completed and then the
reading of house bills was commenced.
Duluth and Winnipeg.
The first interesting point reached
was the Duluth and Winnipeg land
grant bill. When this had been read
Senator Stockton moved that the bill
be placed on general orders. This was
opposed by Senators Hompe, Probst-
field and Crate, and the first vote came
on motion to suspend the rules and
substitute the house bill for the senate
measure on the general orders This
was lost, receiving but so votes, when sc
were required to suspend the rules.
The vote follows:
