BIG MONEY FOR JUNKETS.

The senate put in a day of hard
work yesterday, and passed dozen
bills. For the hrst time since the
early days of the session every SEN
ator was in his seat, and voted upon
the BILL which was passed, and pro-
vides that insurance companies
shall pay the face of a policy where
property is entirely destroyed by
fire, and shall pay the total loss
where there is but a partial destruc-
ton, provided the amount shall not
exceed the face Of the policy. The
passage Of the bill was contested
very vigorously. This was bill in
troduced by Senator Spencer, and
Senator Wyman led the fight against
it, moving that it be referred back
to the committee on insurance for
day to allow a further hearing of
persons who might want. to appear
before the committee. This motion
was opposed StrenuouSly, and the
merits of the bill were discussed for
a couple of hours. Those favoring
its passage in speeches were Sem
ators Spencer, Day, Schaller, Pott-
gieser, McHale and Keller. The lat
ter made very entertaining as well
as a strong speech in favor of the
bill, and at it's conclusion was con-
graduated by several senator's
Speeches in favor of referring to
the committee were made by Senat-
ors Wyman, Greer, Ozmun, Hene-
man and Young.
The motion to refer back to the
committee was defeated by a vote
of % to 90. A call of the senate was
ordered before the vote upon the
final passage was taken, showing
every senator in his seat The bill
was then passed by a vote of 32 to
%. Senator McHale then clinched
the matter as far as the senate is
concerned, by moving a reconsider
alton, which, he said, he hoped
would not prevail. The senate re-
fused to reconsider, and the bill will
go to the house to be fought over.
