which the investigating committee was
appointed during the morning session.
Mr.. KOerner gave notice of debate.
The regular order of business, reports
of standing committees. was then taken
up. The grain and warehouse commit
Ii. T. -, Ii. I. l2S and II. +. 442, all
relating to elevators at Duluth. The
report of the committee was adopted.
The same committee reported Mr.. Bar
rett's grain grade bill, Il. +. $50, to be
indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Barrett
moved that the bill be placed on general
orders, and his motion prevailed.
The special committee Of Ramsey
county reported fayOrably on bill re-
lating to justices of the peace, placing
those of ramsey county under the same
law as all others in the state. Mr.. Ives
attempted to have the rules suspended
in order that it might be passed.
Mr.. Dunn moved that the house go
into committee of the whole, but had
only twenty-fOur votes in favor of the
motion. Mr.. McGrath moved to adj
jUurn. and the motion was lost, ayes 10,
noes 80. Mr.. Dunn then demanded a
call of the house. While the call was
on there was considerable 'scrapping"
between the factions. The straightS
wanted to take up general orders and
nothing else, while the ants insisted
that the regular order of business be
followed. Judge Fleming told the ants
they might just as well lie down, as
they would not be permitted to reach
the reappOrtiOnment bill during the
afternoon, and made quite a pro-
tracted speech. Mr.. Greer called him
down Oh the time limit. Then the fun be-
gan and the tilibustering continued.
Boreen moved that further proceedings
under the call be dispensed with, and,
on motion of Mr.. Dunn, the yeas and
nays were demanded on roll call. Mr..
Boreen'S motion prevailed, and the reg
ular order of business was resumed.
The committee on legislative eX-
penses reported favOrably on the bill

"dilly dallying" the report of the COM
mittee was adopted.
The same committee reported favor
ably Oh 5. f. $50. relating TO the coin
penSatioD of members of the legislature.
Mr.. Dunn demanded the reading of the
bill, and both sides took Whirl at de-
laying matters. Tie speaker urged the
members to get to order and go to work.
He told the members If they insisted
upon delaying matter, the blame must
not rest with the chair, but with the
member themselves. Mr.. Turrell
moved that reading of the bill be dis
pensed with. Mr.. Linneman moved to
adjourn, and the motion was lost. Judge
Fleming secured the floor and con-
sumed his five minutes talking against
time. A whole lot of the members on
both sides talked more or less peril
nently. Mr.. TurrelPS motion prevailed,
and the report of the committee Was
adopted.
Under the order OF motions and reso-
lutions, Mr.. Ives called up the resolu-
ton increasing the pay of the house
| employees. F. NJ. Wilson moved the
adoption of the resolution. The chair
finally ruled that the vote must be first
on the report of the committee. and Mr..
Wilson moved its reversal, and the mo-
ton prevailed. The resolution was laid
on the table. Mr.. Blocker moved to
adjourn, but withdrew the motion tenn
pOrarily. When the motion was finally
put to a vote it carried-32 ayes, 80 noes,
and thus ended the worst day of the
| session,
