WINANs' MESSAGE,
He Ironically Refers to the Squawbucks'
Wisdom.

LANSING, Aug. Sat 2:3o, when the
two houses met in joint session, the
governors message was read. Here it
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives:
Inc supreme court of the state has
declared unconstitutional and void the
acts passed by this legislature and the
legislature of 1885, for the apportion-
msnt of senators and representatives
IN the state legislature, and has direct
ed that the coming elections DO held in
accordance with the apportionment
acts of 1881, unless you shall enact new
measures.
The acts of 1881. while they were not
passed upon by the court. are subject
to the same constitutional objections
which were raised against the acts Of
1885 and 1891, and, considered in con-
nection with our present population,
are Wholly inadequate TO secure q
proper representation OF the different
sections of the state. An election un-
der the acts of 1881 would now involve
far more inequality of representation
than would be possible under the acts
Of 1891.
Moreover. since 1881 several new
counties hAve been organized, and in
the larger cities ward boundaries nave
been so changed that 1t is more than
doubtful IL elections could be held in
some of the districts.
Therefore deem il my duty TO con-
vcne the legislators in specIAl session
for the purpose of considering the situ-
alton, trusting that your wisdom and
familiarity with the subject will enable
you TO frame apportionment acts which
will conform to the requirements OF
the constitution and be acceptable to
the supreme court.
That you are again compelled TO Leg
islate upon this i'm 2ortant matter seems
due TO your having followed the prece.
dents set by former legislatures. and to
your having accepted the theory that
the legislature Is an independent CO.
ordinate branch of the state govern
ment, whose province 1t 10 TO determine
the political divisions Of the state.
You have Just cause for congratula-
ton in the fact that while much of your
most important legislation has been
contested in the supreme court, only
two OF the GOO Acts passed at your first
session have been held unconstitu.
tiousl.
| have confidence that your wisdom.
ability and patriotism will enable you
to do we'll tho work for which you have
now assembled.

QUIT III AT LAST
Both Houses Finally Decide to
Adjourn
s2,5oO, 600 GIVEN TO THE FAIR
In Separate Biil-The Sundry Civil Bill
Agreed TO and the Congress Is
Brought to an End.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-At noon today
the house resumed, in committee OF
the whole. the consideration OF the
Durborow worlds fair bill. Mr.. Cum
mlngs of New York opened the opposi-
ton with bitter speech against . prop
osision which he characterized 80 one
which WAS intended to loot the treas
ury. The worlds fair proposition had
so mixed itself up with the government
that it was difficult to tell which WAS
the worlds fair ana which was the
government. The remnants of former
congresses had covered the floor so
that 1t could hardly be told whether
the present congress or the heei-taps Of
former congresses ran the house. II
was matter of pride with him that he
had filibustered against this looting
appropriation.
Mr.. Fellows of New York eloquently
supported the bill. The work, be said.
was a governmental one. The idea of
the fair had been born in congress; it
had its inception here. From the start
to the finish it was q governmental
work.
IL Finally Passes.
The debate continued until / o'clock.
Much of it was entirely foreign to the
question pending and referred TO the
commissioner of pensions. Precisely
at O'Clock the chairman of the COM
m,ttee OF the whole stated that under
the order of the house the committee
must rise. Having arisen, the Dur
borrow bill was reported to the house.
The pending amendment land the onl v
one) was substitute offered by Mr.. de
Almond of Missouri, for the first sec-
ton of the bill. 1t provides that il the
Worlds Columbian exposition shall
deposit at a mint of the United States
| . sufficient quantity of silver bullion
| il shall be coined and delivered to the
exposition in half dollar coins in
amount not exceeding 5000, 900. The
substitute was rejected; yeas, rs; nays,
l39.
The roll was then called for the vote
on the final passage of the DurborOw
bill and the result was yeas, ia;
nays, 75.
K second call was ordered and the
bill was passed by . vote of l3l to SS.
A motion to reconsider was laid on
the table after futile effort to filibus-
| tor was made by Mr.. Bailey OF Texas.
This passes the bill finally in the house.
The worlds fair bill was enrolled in a
few minutes after Its passage and was
Immediately taken over to the senate
by Clerk Kerr, but before it could he
presented to the senate that body went
into executive session.
Passed by the Senate.
Pursuant to an order of yesterday
the senate met today At O'Clock.
Some business of routine nature WAS
transacted, when an executive session
was held. When the doors were re-
| opened the worlds fair bill, appropri-
ating $2.50O.0 900, was submitted, read
and without division Was passed. al
though several senators emphatically
protested against It's passage. Another
conference WAS ordered on the pending
sundry civil bill, and at p. m. Q re-
Gees was taken until O'Clock.

ADJOURNED THE HOUSE.
The House Appointed Committee to So
Notify the President.

WASHINGTON. Aug. .5.-Expectation of
on adjournment today filled tho gsller-
les of the house at the night session
and the same reason brought an unus-
nal attendance of members. Promptly
at O'Clock Speaker Crisp called the
house to order and soon after the Dur
borrow worlds fair bill was reported
from the senate. After the passing of
several bills from the private calendar,
Mr.. Holman Of Indiana presented the
report of the conferrees on the sundry
civil bill. MIR. Holman explained the
nature Of the agreement, detailing
the items IN dispute and the
compromises affected. He said the bill
as finally agreed to carried $27 1897 ,42s,
being $1,000, ,239 less than the bill as it
passed the senate, and $2,6l4,246 more
than its aggregate when it passed the
house. Concerning the PInkerton de-
tective clause of the bill. Mr.. Holman
admitted that the amendment adopted
by the house Was little too broad,
and that in the interest of speedy ad-
journment of the house the conferees
were obliged to accept the substitute
submitted on the part OF the senate.
The senate had appointed committee
to investigate the matter. The house
had done likewise, and IL was for these
committees TO investigate and to make
. report before action should be taken.
