There was a tilt in the house yester-
day. over the question of a two days
adjournment, and it required a roll
call to settle the question.
Mr.. Jackson Rep.), of Lac qui Parle,
moved an adjournment, which, under
the rules, would be until this morning
at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Guttersen Rep9, of Blue Earth.
wanted the hour fixed at o'clock
Monday evening, contending that all
the business could be disposed of Mon
day evening and the work cleared up
for Tuesday morning.
MI. jacobson protested against long
APPOINTMENTS, on the ground that
there was plenty of work for Satur-
day and Monday. An adjournment to
Monday evening meant a dead loss of
two days in the state. Committees could
not work, and. as there were ten bills
on general orders, it would be unwise
TO adjourn. The trouble with long
adJournments was that soon there
would be so much work piled I'D that
the house would adjourn to get away
from it He demanded the roll call on
the Monday night adjournment propo-
sition.
