Wants Interest ON Warrants.
The table Of the senate was cleared
yesterday and although some of the
more energetic members wanted to
meet in the afternoon and do some
thing, when the gavel of the chairman
fell, at 2 o'clock, there was nothing
in sight and an adjournment had to
be taken until this morning Allison
had working streak on and wanted
Chidester to report the registration
bill for immediate action, but the mem
Der from Panguitch is too foxy. There
is going to be some trading done with
that bill yet. The counties bill, which
the house is expected to pass, placing
the major portion of the burdens of
the state government upon the county
Of Salt Lake is to be disposed of later
on and ChideSter wants to have some
thing which he can use as a lever
upon certain recalcitrant members of
the minority, who might otherwise fly
the track. A wise man indeed, is the
member from Panguftch.
The session yesterday was an unim-
portant one from a standpoint where
was no superfiuous talk INDUCED in.
The Cuban resolution-the document
which pledges to Uncle Samuel the
support, moral and physical, of this
young, vigorous and patriotic state,
in the event of a catch-as-catch-ca
match with the kingdom of Spain, was
adopted without a murmur. Not a
drum was heard nor an upper G note
as the measure to its passage was
.ie{1 it
ing shot, its adoption was so rapid
twas Hurried.
The insurance bill bids fair to go
down unwept, unhonored and unsung.
1t has had a hard time since it came
up for first reading. The bin was the
pet of Louis Hyams, who had a vision
of a five thousand dollar a year place.
The senate swept down on the measure
like the host of the Assyrians did on
Sennechaerib. The salary was reduced
from five to three thousand. Then it
was cut to fifteen hundred. Still there
was hope of passage, until Chichester,
who has grudge against the secretary
of state and wants him to earn what
he gets, arose and like a sinner doffing
his burden of woe, threw the task of
looking after the insurance men on
Hammond and provided him a clerk
at a salary of 500 per month. Why
a clerk should he allowed a stipend of
this magnitude. when everybody, even
the clerk of the supreme court, has
been reduced to minimum, is a mys-
terry Men can be obtained in the vi
entity of Provo, for $1.25 per diem &C
cording to statements made and this
would be good job for some one Of
them at say sixty plunks per thirty
days If the bill gets before the SEN
ate again, there will doubtless be a
change made.
The legislature has done something
for the innocent kid. The bill prohib-
iting adulteration of candy passed yes
terday and hereafter it will be unlaw-
full for any one ito mingle potter's clay,
tale, Spaulding's glue and other sub
which is yanked into sticks, painted
red and sold to the frisky urchin who
works a hold out on the collection
basket in order to obtain funds.
The codifying bill passed yesterday
after being further amended. Glen
Miller wanted to fix the compensation
of the members of the commission at
81, 900, but the chair decided the motion
out of order, because that had already
been definitely decided upon by the
senate.
The proceedings of the upper house
yesterday will be found in the follow
ing typographical photograph.

Prayer was offered by Rev. J. B.
Halsey, rector of st. Marks cathedral,
