SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Wilson's Bill Was Favorably Considered
in Committee of the Whole.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Feb. 24.-In the senate to-day
the committee of the whole, Stanton in
the chair, favorably considered Repre-
sentative Wilson's bill substituting the
cubic for the miners inch, which was
the first considered. Senator Hoffman.
seconded by Senator Hobson, moved
that it be indefinitely postponed. SEN
ator Courtney, seconded by Senator Ma
han, moved as a substitute that it be
recommended for passage. The Silver
Bow senator said that while he was not
particularly we'll posted upon the sub
ject of irrigation, he had great conf
dence in Representative Wilson's hon
esty and zeal in pressing the measure.
mat gentleman was a competent en-
gineer and from his talk to the senate
demonstrated that he had given the
subject earnest consideration and vas
we'll posted upon the matter. An
amendment was adopted to the effect
that the law will not affect DEGREES Of
the court in the past as to the miners
inch. The vote was Il tie and the chair
then settled the tie by voting against
postponement and the bill pass I'd to
third reading.
Representative Stephens bill, simpii-
flying the manner of selecting. classify
ing and selling state lands, was consid
cred next After liberal discussion and
the adoption of some amendments the
bill was reported favorably. Senator
Anderson made an extended speech TO
the effect that the minimum price of
lands should be $15 instead of $40, as
proposed in the bill. and pointed out
how the state would be benefited by not
ever selling the lands. His contention
was voted down. The bill introduced by
Tierney providing for county board
of classification to classify the different
lands was Indefinitely postponed.
The substitute for house bill 33. the
bounty bill, was debated. After fruit
less efforts on the part of the west
side senators to have the bounty on
wolves made So and coyotes 81, and to
change the assessment feature, the bill
passed the committee in the same form
as it came from the house. The west
side senators made a vigorous, but in
effectual, fight against the COW county
senators.
President Spriggs asked Senator An
derson if he cared to present his motion
of yesterday to reconsider the vote by
which the ballot bill had passed the
senate. The Meagher county senator
presented his motion. 1t was seconded
by Courtney. Senator Hannah de-
manded call of the senate. When the
delinquents had been rounded up by the
sergeant -at-arms and brought into the
senate chamber Senator Hobson moved
to lay the motion upon the table. 1t
prevailed by vote of Ia to 9.
