A LITTLE BY-PLAY.
INDUCED IN BY MEMBERS OF
THE LOWER HOUSE.
A HARD RAP AT OAR REESE
One of Yesterdays Bills Reduces
Him to Three-ThOusand-
a-Year Salary.

The session of the house yesterday
opened with some interesting by-piay
between Representatives Jacobson and
Feig on the one hand and the balance
of the house on the other. 1t all came
about over Mr.. JacoDson's resolution to
lengthen the hours Of the daily session.
A little hard feeling and great deal OF
merriment grew out Of the debate. Mr..
Dingman opposed the resolution, claim
ing that it worked hardship on the
Minneapolis members. They would
have to leave home at o'clock in the
morning in order to reach the house i'll
time for the proposed hour of meeting
Mr.. Schurmeier evidently had Messrs.
jacobson and Feig in mind when he re-
marked that there would be more time
for work if certain members would re-
frain from talking so much, for every
body applauded except the two gentle-
men named. Jake" recovered himself
a moment later, however, and took it out
on Robillard. The doctor declared that
it was enough to give man the head
ache 10 sit in the room for more than
two hours, Whereupon jacobson replied
that certain members regularly brought
their headaches with them to the house
in the morning. The resolution was
amended within an Inch Of its life and
then ruthlessly butchered to make a
bloomin' holiday.
The house committee reported back
about two dozen bills, liberal half OF
which were recommended for passage
and the rest consigned to the ever yaWn-
ing waste basket.
Bills were introduced bearing the
numbers from sos to 40 inclusive, none
of which are of general Importance save
three-oue to revise and consolidate the
general statutes, one to provide for the
publication Of legal proceedings in
newspapers and one to amend the elecN
ton laws.
The speaker announced the following
members TO confer with the directors OF
the Minneapolis exposition: Anderson,
Baston, Brainard, Smith. G. A, Nc
Innis, Feig and Kelly, 4. B.
II was decided to print 1000 copies of
the administration insurance bill intro
! duced by Mr.. She'll
Representative Dahl, of the Hennepin
delegation, introduced bill, the pro"
visions of which are that the clerk OF
the supreme court after july l, 1895,
shall receive a salary of $1,000 per
annum, ano that all fees received shall
be turned into the state treasury
lIlEOuRn LUO LHCQlull VI TIT olalO
to whom the report shall be made. The
clerk will be required, under this bill, to
give a bond for s., 600 for the perform
ance OF the duties outlined in the pro-
posed law. The bill was referred to the
special committee on salaries and fees
provided for under MIR. JacObSon's reSo-
luton.
The bill is understood TO be measure
of resentment against ID, F. Reese for
his connection with the opposition to
Washburn i'll the late senatorial funeral.
In conformity with Mr.. Feig's resolu-
ton previously adopted. the house took
a recess to s p. m, and In the interim
paid a visit to the state agricultural
school to pass upon the merits OF some
old things wanted by MIR. Feig.
AN EVENING SESSION.
The house reassembled at s o'clock
and Immediately resolved itself into
committee Of the whole for the cOnsid-
Grafton of general orders. The session
lasted about two hours and was abso>
lutely devoid of interest. Bills to the
number of sixteen were disposed of,
generally with favorable recommends
| tions.
Mr.. Feig's bill for new building at
the school of agriculture goes TO the
committee On appropriations for fur
Their consideration.
DIR. Tiers bill relating to unclaimed
deposits in banks was among the num-
Der of bills recommended to pass. All
the other bills acted upon were of
minor or local importance only, and
there was no debate. The house ad-
journed to the usual hour this morning.
