It touched only the highest visibls

cluster many heaps Of corroboratiye de

this:

AN EXTRA SESSION.
The Wlsesnsin Legislature Will b
Gxfled Upsn to Make New
Apportionment
The Supreme Court Having Decided
That the One Passed Last Winter
Is Illegal.
The Congressional Apportienment Not
Affected A Synopsis Of the
Decision Given.

MADISON, March %. The supreme
court has declared the assembly sena-
turiAllsna congressional apportionment
made BY thsiast legislature to be un-
constitutional.
Tire decision affects only the sen ate
andasssmoly districts, and does not ap.
.Say 10 the congressional appor ionment,
about which no complaint was made.
The decision is made on the grounds
that the legislature violated the consti
'tntion which requires that districts
shall be formed according to the popu
lAtion ~ compactly as possible, and that
the county is a territorial emit In the
formation Of assembly districts. This
ID the substance OF the decision. The
apportipnment thus overthrown waa
made upon the same lines as every ap-
porti01lnant has been made since the
orsanz1atioa Of the state, and other IN.
Muitios complained of have not onl5
been found in every .apportionment bus
most Of them entered in the apportion,
sment made by the conststunal conEeu-
ltion which was part of the constitu.
ltinn itself. The decision distinctly sap
tfhat it affects mo- other act of any legis-
ilature. In fact the last Legislature
which elected William e. Villas senator
was elected under another apportion.
ment act, the validity of which was
never questioned.
An extra session OF the legislaturs
will be called ON q new apportionmeni
law to be passed to govern the the next
election.
The opinion Of the court, delivered by
Chief Justice Lyon, holds that chapter
zD2 Laws of 1891 1.-THE apportionment bill
is unconstitnnal upon substantially the
following grounds: Section 8, article a
of the cOnstitution provides that each
county snd each district having popu-
iatinn equal to the numerical unit Of
representation of the assembly (alleged
to be Ii, ,66S) is entitled absolutely to ons
member of the assembly, unless it ID
found necessary to attach TO such county
in formation of an assembly district, q
county having less than the numerical
unit of representation. For each multi
pie of such numerical unit reached by tht
population of any county, such county
is also absolutely entitled to an addi
tional member OF the assembly. Tn,
remainder Of 400 members Of the assem-
bly,, not thus absolutely apportioned
should be apportionea, on some equitable
rule, to an equal number Of ssvera
counties, A.probably to the countie'
having the largest fractions Of popula
ton in excess Of such numerical or mul
ltiple thereof. Chapter 46s, Laws of 1891
vi6lAtes the foregoing. For example
II gives LA Crosse county, with s., ,1ol

bers ~ the Lever House.
New YoRK, March 23.-The Herald
continues it's attack upon the so-called
bribe takers of the New Jersey legisla-
ture, saying that the reports about the
vote buying are becoming more specific.
1t is related of one senator, says The
Herald, that, after having consented to
vote for the Reading combine bill for a
consideration Of $dO, 900 he wanted more
money, The agent of the friends cf the
measure would not give any more, and
the senator finally voted for the bill.
The name Of the senator who got
$4,000 is claimed to be in possession of
the papers.
A Herald reporter visited several
members OF the legislature during the
day. Senator Barker, who voted for the
bill, declared that he did 30 because he
was elected as an anti-Pennsylvania
railroad man, and thought that the pro-
posed combine would be of great benefit
to the Reaaiag railroad. and at the same
time loosen the held that the Pennsyl-
vania road is supposed to have upon the
people of the state. He declared that
the talk of bribery was all nonsense.
Senator Winten, who voted against
the bill, said that he did not think there
had been any vote buying.
President Of the Senate Adrian said
that he knew nothing whatever Of tho
matter. He declared, in regard to the
declaration BY Senator Rogers, that he
Regers1 had been offered money to vote
for the ball, that Mr.. Rogers had evi-
dsntly spoken for himself, if he spoke at
all.

The senate came higher, according to
these mathelnaticrans three of the sena'
tsrs having divided $75,0O0 in equal

and others smaller sums, no one, how
