ASSEM- BLY,.
Rev. n. A. Winter offered prayer IL
The lower house Friday morning, fol.
lowing which the senate bill was con.
Cured In that gives to each member oil
the revising committee and to MessrS
Sanborn and Bergman $500 each.
Messrs. Lange and McGrath voted in
the negative, the latter stating that III
his judgment it was wrong to thus pay
Messrs. Sanborn and Bergman whose
compensation he regarded as ample
without this addition. Mr. hall, who
had voted aye. now explained tnat he
agreed with Mr. McGrath and desired
to have his vote changed.
Senator McMullen's joint resolution
suspending the law for the sale of the
state park lands till 1901, having been
messaged in, produced debate, three
/ fourths vote being necessary to receive
the resolution. Mr.. Hall argned for
the resolution. He thought the pres
ent an inOpportuEe time to sell the
lands and that the state would not
lose and might profit by delay.
/ Mr.. Flett spoke vigorously against the
resolution, being unable to see that
anything could be gained by the state
If the sale were suspended, and his
earnestress and logic gained the day

Ing So for to % agalnst-not the the

The revisors' report on the statutes,
having passed the senate, was taken
up. A motion was made by Mr. Cla-
son to suspend the rules and adopt
the report, thus accepting the entire
revision. Mr.. Hall wanted to under
stand fully the recent changes made
by the revisors before he could vote
cCnscientiously Mr.. Arson objected
also to buy pig in the poke, though
/ he did not put it In that form. Mr..
Webster and Mr.. McGrath expressed
a readiness to vote Off hand but after
Il desultory discussion Mr., Flett hast
lily yet lucidily explained the new
notifications, most of which are of a
minor character.
On motion of Mr.. Overlook all rules
were unanimously suspended SO that
the bill could be at once placed on its
passage. The report was then adopted
unanimously by an aye and nay vote.
There were Is absentees. Mr.. Latta
had previously made motion, which
prevailed unanimously that the read
ing OF the appropriation sections be
also omitted. A recess of 20 minutes
was taken,
Bill No, Abs, providing that certain
sections OF the new revised statutes
shall go into effect at once came up.
Mir. Peterson demanded to know some
thing about the proposition. The
speaker ruled that the bill was re-
ceivable, after MIR. Lange had put u
question to draw out reply on that
point. He also ruled that an amend
mont permitting Milwaukee to estab-
fish garbage plant was equally re-
ceivahle. Mr.. ClaSon wanted to know
that, under such a ruling, could not
other new business be received. The
speaker answered Automatically Mr..
Hall agreed with the original ruling Of
the speaker The resolution was vot-
cd to be receivable, 67 to 10. The neg
atives were Messrs. Barnum Bechtel
BuTnham, Cashin, Clason. Flagg. Fo-
go, Hurd, Jensen, Lange, McGrath
Peterson, Polacheck Risum, d. X
Smith, Staples, UT and Webster
Messrs. McGrath and Lange explained
that they did not oppose the garbage
plant amendment, but to the manner
of its introduction as rider to a legit.
In ate measure. Mr.. Wheeler moved
to strike out the garbage amendment
because It was new business and II
was Partially to allow 1t to come In
and to deny the members generally
the right to introduce new bills. The
speaker ended the motion of order, an
objection having been heard. The
bill was then concurred in, Messrs
McGrath and Wheeler begging to bt
