Senators Again Defer the Ap-
p0intment Of Senator
Motifs Son.
Senator Mcmillan Introduces
the First Bill Of the
Session.
Official Gazette Desired by
Senator Smith, OF Hen
nepin.
Lommen, Of Polk, Gets in the
First Bill to Reduce
Interest.

Az
Senator Mott is now out Sc through
the failure of the Republicans to carry
out their deal with him.
A. II. Mott. the senator's son, again
failed of election as file clerk yesterday,
and the highest possible salary he can
get is the sum of 1864. For the full
ninety days young Mr.. Mott would have
received s27O, but by resolution of the
Republican caucus, which Senator Mott
aided in adopting, there is to be no back
pay, and for every day his election is
deferred Mr.. Mott loses 50.
This is tough on Senator Mott. and he
feels it. To adopt the resolution re-
quires twentv-eight votes, and there may
never be another time during the SEES
sion when the combine" will be able
to master its full vote at the proper
time. A feeling that there are a num-
Der of Republican senators who will not
feel sorry over this failure to elect
young Mott is, OF course, to large de-
gree. responsible for the Lyon county
mans repentance. But there is another
state Farmers Alliance will be held in
Minneapolis today. and 1t is quite pro-
bable that the cases of Senators Mott,
Wood and Dedon will be considered.
A number of the Alliance leaders
were in the city yesterday, and several
Of them paid their respects to Wood and
Mott.
The second days session did not COM
mence exactly on time as on the first
day, and it was nearly 10:30 when the
lieutenant governor raped the senators
to order. All the members were pres
ent except Davis. Eaton, Keller and
| PrObsttieId. all of whom put in an ap-
| pearance later, except Senator PrObSt-
field, who was unwell. The first bust
ness under the rules is the consideration
| of resolutions and the flood Of resolu-
4 lions appointing men TO places put in on
/ Tuesday were all i'll shape to be called
/ up and acted upon. The ball was
started by Senator Hammer. who
wanted the resolution appointing 2. P.
/ Wall assistant secretary acted upon.
Gen. Sanborn thought matters could
be FASTENED by reading these res0lu-
/ lions in order and SO moved. The first
! one to be read was the one appointing
| Senator Motifs son file clerk. Senator
I Morse. of Hennepin. moved that further
/ consideration of the resolution be in
/ definitely postponed. Il do not want to
| vote for the person named in this reso-
! lution,' he SAID, ''but | want to vote for
another party"
After considerable talking, on motion
| of Senator Crandail the whole matter
/ was laid on the table. Senator John
/ Day Smith, from the JOINT committee
| appointed to announce the organization
! II Thl hOnGaG the y
this time announced that he would COM
! municate at noon in joint session. On
| motion of Senator Smith it was agreed
to take a recess from II until o'clock
/ to take part III the Inauguration in the
/ hail of the house. Gov. ClOugh then an
/ nOunced his committee on rules. Unlike
! Speaker Lee. he recognized the exist
/ ence of the three parties, naming repre-
sentatives Of each on the committee, as
/ follows:
Senator Sanborn, of Ramsey, chair
man; Day, OF Martin; Smith. of Henne-
! pin; Sandal, of Steele; McHale, of
! Scott: GeisSel, OF Morrison, and H0mpe,
/ of Otter Tail.
Senator Smith, of Hennepin, sprung a
resolution authorizing the presiding
officer to appoint three members to act
( with five from the house to investigate
the probable cost of publishing an Of
fetal journal containing the proceed
ingS of the two houses. This was fol-
lowed by the introduction of a resolu-
/ ton by Senator Crandall, that it was
the sense of the senate that no money
be appropriated for newspapers this
year. This was referred, after some
discussion. to the committee on the Off
ciaL gazette. Gov ClOugh named Sena-
tors Smith, Donnelly and LeaYitt as the
senate end of this committee.
