ILLINOIS.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 1.-THE ques-
tiOn of opening the worlds fair on
Sunday came up in the senate for the
first time when Senator C. Porter
Johnson, of Chicago, introduced a
resolution requesting the Illinois
delegation in congress to use their
best endeavors to induce con-
gress to modify the law relat-
ing to closing the fair on Sunday. The
resolution went over under the rules.
Bills approximating the sum of IS, 200
and $50, 900 for the pay of employees of
the general assembly were introduced
and ordered to a second reading.
According to the rules reported by
the committee on rules and adopted by
the house the reapportionment bill
will take precedence in the house over
any other business, even a motion to
adjourn. The new rules give the
speaker the right and power to sus-
pend any business the house may be
engaged with in order to call up the
apportionment bill. He can even rule
out of order a motion to adjourn by
calling for the redistricting bill.
This is the most important change
in the rules. 1t endows the speaker
with unusual powers with regard to
the apportionment bill and will effec.
lively squelch any attempt to filibust er
against the passage of the measure.
