With the exception Of Candland, who
refused. the Republican members Of
the senate yesterday gave an accurate
imitation of the animal which held
conversation with BALKAN.
1t happened in this wise.
The senate had held a joint session
and elected Frank ]. Cannon and
Arthur Brown senators with all the
formalities thereunto appertaining. The
result had been announced and the
members of the upper house had all
gone UP town and enjoyed their mid
day meal, returning to enter upon the
transaction of business with an energy
which was refreshing in the extreme.
Suddenly the secretary came to the
memorial censuring Bayard and de
handing his recall, introduced by Al
lison several days ago, and which was
made the special order of the day by
motion offered by him at the time the
measure was placed on its second
reading. Allison had forgotten 1t him
self, but as it came on in regular
order it had to be acted upon.
There was an intention manifested
by the majority to pass the same with
out debate. the father of the memorial
moving for the roll call. but the mi
nority, led by Senator Warner, did not
propose 70 let matters go on in this
way and opened a debate. That OF
the Democrats was logical while the
talk INDUCED in by the majority mem
bers W Is, as stated by Senator Snow,
pure lingo
Be it said to the credit of Candland
that he voted and talked against the
bill It passed however. all the Demo-
Gratis present voting against it. to-
gether with Candland, while the ma
jority voted for it.
1t is understood that now the ice has
been broken and patriotic resolutions
are in order one will be introduced
daily by the senator from Weber and
the first viii be planted today in the
shape Of something like the following:
Whereas, Magistrate McTurk, re-
presenting the government which by
custom is known as Her Brittanic
Najesty's government, but which, by
right should be called the government
of England the first mentioned title
being repugnant to us. did on the 18th
day Of January, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-six, and of the independence of
this United States the one hundred
and twentieth, cause several flags
representing the sovereignty Of this
republic to be pulled from the awning
of Felipe Brancana's grocery store on
Prince of Wales alley, in the city of
Caracas, British Guiana, which said
action was a gross insult to the free
and sovereign people of this United
States as aforesaid and hereinbefore
mentioned, and particularly TO the
senate of the first legislature of Utah.
now therefore be it
Resolved, That the governor of this
state be instructed, authorized and
requested to demand of the government
of Great Britain and Ireland, and Incl
dentally Of British Guiana. as afore-
said and hitherto explained. the body
Of the said Magistrate McTurk, and
have him the said McTurk yanked
into cur august present to onct,' in
order that We the senate, may jam
him full to overlooking with ideas on
the grandeur of American institutions
and of this senate
Two bills were introduced in the
senate yesterday, the first being by
Booth, for an act appropriating money
for the school for the deaf; the second
by Allison for the protection of fish
and game
Yesterdays regular house session
was dull and uninteresting and little
business of an important nature was
transacted. The only matter that stir
red UP the life of the members was the
consideration of a motion to amend
house rule 20, relative to motions to
adjourn, to make such motions always
in order except when another motion
was pending or a vote being taken.
instead of such a motion being always
in order as originally provided The
feature Of interest in this connection
was in drawing from the author of the
motion its real intent. an effort to veil
which was made until it became ap-
parent the motion would miscarry. 1t
was then learned that the motion was
designed to deprive the minority of
the power, as much as possible. to head
off or delay measures which were OBJ
jectionable to it. It is hardly necessary
to state that action to meet such an
emergency was taken by the majority.
Radatz's H. b. No q was passed
and sent to the senate. It amends the
present revenue law to enable the col
lection of taxes on herds Of cattle
owned in Other states which are fat
tened on the plains Of Utah.
New bills were introduced on the sub-
Jects Of: Qualification and examina-
ton Of practicing physicians; protec-
ton of fish and game: closing barber
shops on Sunday; and taxing estates
of deceased persons.
