opposed to the bill were making Ng-
orous fight and the efforts of the
senator from st. Louis county were of
no avail. He even went so far as to
appeal from the decision of the chair.
Senator Howard made an effort that
proved to be- in vain to have the schar-
meier bill made special order for
Wednesday next at 2:30 o'clock. Sena-
tor Yale protested aginst this, saying
that it was a question whether set
of lobbyists should decide upon the
merit of this measure, or whether the
state prison board should have hear
ing, The prison committee fought. the
Hennepin senator's proposition. and
the bill remains in the hands Of the
prison committee.
SENATE WENT A FISHING. -
A good deal of noise was made over
the fish and game BILL which came; up
on a special order before the commit
tee of the whole. This bill is al SUBJ
stitute for Fl. F. Nos. 81, 81, so and 205,
which were introduced early in the
session. The bill has already passed
the house, but its passage in the SEN
ate was a question for nearly two
hours yesterday afternoon. The de-
bate on the several proposed amend
ments was principally between the
representatives of the northern and
southern parts of the state, joined in
once in a while by sympathetic sena-
tors from tho cities whom the country
senator's stated were not SportSmen
and consequently were incompetent to
discuss the merits and dement's of the
bill.
Senator Stevens feared that the pas
sage of the bill would not be secured
this session if amendments We're made
and the bill allowed to go back to the
house.
Senator Barr protested against the
bill being put through under the ham,
mer for fear of what it's fate might
be if it CHANGED to get back into the
hands of the sharks in the house.
Other senators protested against the
passage Of the measure before it had
received the greatest consideration,
and although the commission was
greatly in need Of the money which
the bill appropriated to it's use, sew
eral members thought that legislation
was so much needed on this matter
that bill should not be hurried
through simply to provide funds for
the use of the commission.
Senator Thompson, from Fillmore
county, who at first thought he repre-
scented the entire southern part of the
state, fought very hard against the
amendment to section of the bill,
which makes the close season for
trout Sept. 1 to May l. Mr.. Thompson
claimed that his constituents demand
ed that the law remain as it is in this
respect.
Senator Yale and senators from
other neighboring counties reminded
the senator that his county was not
the only one which contained trout
streams, and the senator from Wlnona
thought that the open season should
be made even shorter than it now is.
The report of the committee was final
ly accepted, and when the committee
rose the bill was recommended for
passage. The rules were suspended
and the bill was given it's third read
ing, and the vote on the final passage
of the bill stood Il to g.
