THE SENATE.

The two first hours OF the senate's
| morning session were consumed by the
consideration of various amendments to
| Senator Abercrombie's general educa-
tional bill. 1t had previously been
amended several sessions heretofore so
that the original bill has been materially
changed. The most important amend
ment which was adopted this morning
was that of Senator Buchanan to allow
fee of 81 instead of 50 for the eXamina
ton of teachers for certificates. The bill
was also made to give due recognition to
the diplomas and teachers certificates
granted by state normal and chartered
colleges.
After consuming nearly an hour in it's
third and final reading this bill was
passed, ayes 10, noes 8.
Mr. Hundley endeavored to bring on
q consideration of the senate bill to re-
peal the Sayre election law which bill
has rested in scommittee room since
Jan. 20, but his resolution to that effect
was referred to the committee on rules.
The senate is rapidly disposing of bills
on it's regular calendar, and, with its
three sessions day will doubtless clear
its calendar to date by tomorrow noon.
Secretaries Proctor and Garrett fully de-
serve the encomiums they are receiving
from senators and others on the rapidity
as well as accuracy with which they dis
patch the onerous clerical work of the
senate.
