The senate put in most of yeSter-
day considering, general orders and,
at the close of the day, had gone
through the bills on that order.
There are a half dozen bills on the
calendar, and with all this branch
of the legislature is practically UP
with the work. Senators StebblnS
and OZmun occupied the chair while
the senate was in committee OF the
whole. The bills advanced on the
calendar are OF no especial import
ance, so that the work was rather
of q routine nature.
The serious illness of Senator Gull
kin was the object of official action.
After prayer, by Chaplain Mcclure,
of the house, President Day stated
that the senator is quite i'll, with
typhoid fever, and would be ex-
cused for the remainder of the ses-
sion.
Senator Masterman moved that
a committee of three be named to
propose suitable resolutions of SYM
patty. President Day named Sena-
tors Masterman, Wyman and Schal-
Ter, who soon after reported as fol-
lows:
Whereas the senate of the State
of Minnesota has been Informed
that one of it's members, Hon. w.
q. Culkin, is dangerously ill Of
typhoid fever, and that he will be
unable to attend any further ses-
sions of this body, and
Whereas, the members of this
body, who have, during the past
three months. grown to know and
appreciate the many excellent
qualities Of an afflicted colleague.
both as man, and as hard work
ing, just, able and fearlessly honest
legislator; now therefore;
BE it resolved, by the senate of
the State of Minnesota, That we
tender to Hon. w. E. Culkin and to
his family, our sympathy, and that
we hope that his present illness will
terminate favorably, and that he
may be speedily restored to his
family, and that this senate may
again welcome him to his duties in
this body, which he honors by his
membership
On motion of Senator Master
man, the resolution was adopted by
an unanimous rising vote, ordered
printed in the Journal, and an en-
crossed copy to be presented to the
family of Senator Culkin.
BY LEAVE OF CLOUGH

the consent and request Of Gov,
Clough, introduced a bill of special
Importance. 1t is designed to give
Hennepin county and Minneapolis
authority to issue bonds to the
amount of $150000 to raise funds to
complete the court house and CITY
hall in Minneapolis.
Senator Ozmun wanted Senate File
12S read a second and third time
and passed under suspension OF
rules. 1t relates to compulsory edu-

Yale and Schaller objected to the
bill being rushed through, out of the
regular order.
Senator Yale spoke of the general
policy as being Objectionable. Sena-
Tor Schaller wanted to examine the
bill. Senator Greer said the bill has
Objectionable features. Senator o.
mum thought the bill was Of interest
to only Ramsey, Hennepin and St

large cities, but the opposition to adj

The committee on printing recon-

relating. to proof of publication of
notices in newspapers.
The Judiciary committee recon-
mended indefinite postponement of
S. F. 52S, and this report was adopt
ed after an effort had been made to
place the bill upon general orders,
The purpose of the bill was to allow
certified copies of foreign wills to

Stevens said such a law would cut
