MADISON, Wis. Feb. 20.

MADISON, W Is, feD. ~.
Senator Munson's bill providing that
ms urance statements may be published
in weekly as we'll as daily papers has
met with some opposition from those
who cater to the metropolitan papers
but there are indications that it will
pass early next week. Early in the
week it came up in the senate but the
opposition was not strong senough
to delay it there and it went to the
assembly. Here successful effort was
made to have it referred to the COM
mittee on banks and insurance as it
was urged that it was more matter for
this committee to consider than for the
consideration Of the printing committee.
Friday it was favorably reported and
will be on the calendar for passages
early next week. The whole thing
may, however, be overthrow should
the provision abolishing the printing of
the statesments be stricken from the new
insurance code as suggested by In
surance Commissioner Fricke.

IS years of age.

Another bill which it behooves the
weekly papers to support is one re-
pealing an obnoxious law passed dur
ing the session of 1895. This statue
provides that in cities having a popula-
ton of 10000 or more only daily pa
pers should bid on the city printing.
A concentrated effort is being made to
pass the repeal law and to allow the
weekly equal rights with the dailies in
bidding on city printing, and it prom
Uses to be successful.

Assembiyman Mark Barnum came to
the front during the week with a Joint
resolution extending the sympathy of
the state to Cuba in her stru ggle for
liberty. The resolution further recited
I'VE protest In the name Of common
humanity against the unspeakable
cruelties, the shocking atrocities now
being committed by the Spanish armies
in that unhappy island; cruelties I'M
known to civilized warfare and prac-
ticed only among savages and that we
earnestly urge upon the government
of the United States to promptly and
vigorously take such action as inter
national law will permit and humanity
and civilization demand to bring a
speedy close to the butcheries and bar
barities now going on under the name
of war and secure if possible to the peo-
pie of that island liberty and lasting
peace"
