ELS Ruf Through.

During the morning session Mr.. FUR
rell made several attempts to suspend
the regular order of business and take
I'D general orders. He IaDored in vain,
however. as each motion to suspend the
rules was voted down. At 1880 the
calendar was reached and the following
bills passed:
S. +. PSI, Dedon. relating to payments
for state lands and interest thereon.
H. T. S97, Lockwood, empowering
county commissioners to lease lands to
agricultural societies.
Ii. +. 9O3, Paulson, repeating laws re-
lating to issuance of bonds in certain
counties.
ii. F. S53, French, repeating chapter
81, Special Laws 1891, relating to village
Of Reeds Landing, Wabasha county.

satisfaction OF judgment.
Ii. f. 743, Holman, to legaliZe certain
conveyances when made separately by
man and wife.
II. T. 773, Howard. providing for re-
funding certain assessments for public
improvements In Minneapolis.
jacobson Bill Beaten.
H.F. 551, jacobson, to regulate ware
houses, inspection, weighing and hand
ling or grain, was lost, Al yeas, SO nays.
The author will, however, move a re-
consideration.
Mr.. Cotton attacked the bill and the
principle embodied therein. He main
tanned that if the bill ever became Op-
erative it would drive into Wisconsin
all the elevator men now operating at
the head of the lake. Further, it would
establish a dangerous usage and en-
courage the idea that the state can ar
btrarily interfere in the management
of a private business. Mr.. COttOn'S
speech was vigorous, logical and con-
vincing in the premises laid down and
conclusions deduced. Closing, he hoped
the bill would be killed at once.
Messrs. jacobson and Mcguire de-
Tended the bill, and asserted that, while
it might not be perfect in all its parts, 1t
was a move in the right direction. They
maintain, also, that grain elevators and
warehouses should be public and should
be regulated. Mr.. COttOn'S argument
that the bill would drive the elevator
men into Wisconsin was characterized
as baseless. But the opponents of the
bill were numerous enough TO XIII 1t.
The Free for All.
In committee of the whole, with
MessrS. Sails and Turrell in the chair at
the morning and afternoon sessions re-
spectively. the following bills were
