emf at a session. Senator John R.
Barnes. who has been i'll ever since the
legislature first met, recovered suftl-
GENTLY to be present at yesterdays SEES
sion.
The session was a remarkable one,
in this that the several members Oh
the up n house resolved it was hlgh
time it was getting q move on as re-
]ates to consideration of important
measures. Scarcely had the morning
hour ELAPSED. ere George Sutherland
arose and offered a resolution COM
manding the committee on pubic lands
TO report a land bill; the committee on
WAYS and means TO report revenue
bin and the special committee on sala-
ries to report a salary bill, all not later
than the 2nd day OF next month.
Mr.. Sutherland declared that nfty
DAYS of the session were gone; had
faded away into the misty precincts
of the past and used up time and as
there remained but forty days more,
some action would have DO be taken
and that right quickly too.
Booth explained the revenue bill as
being prepared, and said the sole and
only reason why it was not before the
senate, was on account Of the members
of the committee being on so many 9TH
ers it was almost impossible to get
them together, although some meet
iugs had been held, with good effect.
There is no telling where debate
would have fixed a finishing point had
not Evans emphatically urged the pass
age of the resolution In few brief and
vigorous expressions. His earnest man
ner cut off discussion and the resolu-
ton was adopted.
BILLS INTRODUCED.
There were two bills introduced yes
terday, the first being Allison's anti
cigarette law; the second a substitute
for senate bill Sc. providing for the
collection of damages done sheep by
= dog, by assessing the costs and
amount against the owner Of the purp.
The committee on live stock, to whom
il was referred did not deem it suff1-
GENTLY sweeping in its provisions, so
the members thereof combined their
thinks, with the result that new bill.
which forbids the combination of dogs
for any deviltry, was filed. The meas
ure makes the owner of adog liable for
all damage he may do, whether the
same consist in tearing the basement
of mans trousers out, scratching up
a new bed Of spring lettuce, or slaught-
ering sheep, chickens, or robbing hen
Toosts of eggs. The previous good char
acter OF the dog cuts no figure either
When one dog goes out and hunts an
other dog and the tv issue a call for
a convention which, after being held
results in all the delegates going out
on the warpath, then all the owners of
the said dogs as aforesaid and herein
before mentioned are Jointly liable for
all the gore which may be spilled, be
the same sheep, COW, calve, hen or
human.
AUSTRALIAN BALLOT Law.
The senate spent most of the after
noon in discussing the Australian bal
lot law. the same coming up on third
reading. Allison, the father of the bill,
acted as master of ceremonies; doing
all the reading Of amendments and cor
rections, although occasionally one of
the other senators put in a word.
Booth offered d suggestion as to the
printing of notices, suggesting that
thew be printed in more than one news
paper, thus giving the minority
chance of reading the same without
having to borrow, or subscribe for the
opposition sheet, but the senate was
economical in its views and the orig
inal proposition passed.
Candland asked that cards of instruc-
ton be printed in language other than
English. explaining that there were
several people in Utah who could not
read and write the English tongue: in
fact read nothing but Scandinavian.
With his mind running on the grand
eur Of American institutions" Allison
asked if it was not a fact that 80 per
cent of the foreign population could
not read and write the language OF this
country, to which Candland returned
a negative answer, whereat the request
made was granted and cards will be
printed in Scandinavian. German,
Polish. Bohemian, italian, Kanaka,
French, Spanish. Volapuk. Welsh
Portuguese, Montenegrin, etc, ETC.,
unless at today's session the limit is not
fixed
An effort was made during the de-
bate to have the bill go over until to-
day. but this failed to pass and the
measure was read. There are a few
changes to ne made, however. and the
matter will come up this morning
are slight and viii take only a few
moments to make.
