FAVOR THE CAPITOL BILL.
The committee on appropriations, to
which was referred the bill providing
for an immediate transfer Of $3.50, 900 to
the fund for erecting the new state
capitol. has maturely considered the
matter and reported favorably, the
only change of any Importance being
that the amount becomes available
Jan. l, 1896, instead of Immediately.
Hon. Claiming Seabury, of the capitol
commission, appeared before the COM
mittee and explained the situation
thoroughly, showing what an advan-
tage it would be to the state to take
the course suggested.
Mr.. Seabury's presentation of the
matter was so lucid and concise that
the committee was practically unani-
nous in recommending the passage of
the bill as amended, which is perfectly
satisfactory to the friends OF the cap
ttol bill Had MI. Seabury been per-
mitted to present this matter in COM
mittee Of the whole as he did to the ap-
preparations committee there is little
QOuDI InaI the Dill Woulu now be Wei
on to the calendar, but it is fortunate
that the committee has had the OPP
portunity to hear him, as these mem
bers will now be in a position TO an
swer all questions relating to the pill.
It is not expected that the few oppo-
nents of the bill will offer any further
Instructions to the passage of the
measure.
