Soon after the house met it found itself
with iilibuster ON it's hands, caused by a
motion 60 consider appropriation bills run
ming counter to private bills. The legisla.
tive, executive and judicial appropriation
bill was taken up after an agreement was
reached to close general debate and that
the house would adjourn over Saturday.
The discussion Of the bill opened up sew
eral interesting and important questions,
among them b0ing the sugar bounty ques
tion, the pension frauds investigation and
the deducting Of members pay for alb
sence.
Considerable opposition to the mode OF
docking members was manifested, the
principal opponents being Representatives
Boatner and Mahon, though both mem.
bers condemned absenteeism I'm the alb
stract. The discussion on the sugar bounty
question was brought about by the omis.
sion from the pending bill Of the provision
for sugar bounty assessors.
Representative Cannon questioned the
propriety and courtesy of the house de
claring by its actions TO senators that there
was not going TO be any bounty in the next
fiscal year. Mr.. bingham, taking as his
text the appropriation Of S200O0O IN the
last appropriation bill for investigating
the alleged pension frauds, made an at
tack on the pension policy OF President
Cleveland and Commissioner Lochren. A
recess was taken until evening.
