FI2EMEN'S BILL PASSED

MANY OF the louise members were
absent yesterday on visiting COM
n7fttees to the state reformatory
and The insane hospitals. Conse-
ouertIy there was q rather slim at
tendance. but at several points dur
ing the day there were moments OF
excitement. The fiurries Of aroused
craftsmanship were only passing
ebullitions. however, and no sore
spots were left.
Considerable work was done,
wi,haI. but the bill to change the
cbatteI mortgage law, over which
the warmest and longest fight oe-
CURED. was not brought to passage.
It's main opponents are farmers, and
the chances are it viii be badly dis
figured. if it is not entirely beaten,
when time is called for the second
round later on.
The bill to give to firemen's relief
associations l per cent of the state
tax on foreign insurance companies
did not go through without d hot
skirmish. but the Caesarian repre-
sentative from the Fourth ward of
st. Paul stood stoutly to his guns,
and finally achieved a decided vic
tory.
New bills were introduced, only
three or four of which are OF general
Importance.
