After passing IA bills and killing four
the house last evening suspended its
labors for a few hours, and this morn
ing will start on the Goth and last day
Of the session with an intention TO dis
pose OF all business in time for final
adjournment some time tomorrow.
Among the measures passed yester-
day were several of importance, but
that OF greatest local interest is the
fire and police bill It was introduced
by Wilson and abolishes the fire and
police commission, placing the appoint
ment and removal of chiefs and sub
ordinates in the hands of the mayor,
subject to approval by the city coun-
Gil. The senate bill on the same sub
ject was rejected.
No further action was taken on the
code, which is still hung up, but, as
predicted By The Herald, the house
will todaz recede from its position as
gracefully as possible under the cir
cumstances. In view Of the savage war
dance of Tuesday night, it was deemed
advisable to delay the capitulation "a
hours for appearances sake, but today
the labor section, over which the two
houses had the falling out, will be
stricken from the code The same leg
by the house yesterday, not with any
expectation that it would pass the SEN
ate. but TO enable the house to place
itself on record.

BEFOULING OF STREAMS.
RAJ moved to reconsider the vote
by which H B. 81, relating to the
befouling of streams by live stock,
failed to receive the constitutional ma
jority. The provisions of the bill are
about the same as those of the code,
except that it prohibits the herding or
grazing of any sheep within ten miles
of any CITY or town, when the refuse
would befoul the waters used by such
town.
