Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1899-03-02

Washington, Feb. 24.-During its en-
tire session the senate had under con-
sideration the river and harbor bill.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The naval
appropriation bill finally passed the
debate, most of which was spent upon
the question of rehabilitating the
naval academy at Annapolis in ac
cordance with the scheme inaugurated
by the appropriation of 100000 in the
last naval bill and the proposition to
increase the maximum price to be paid
for armOr plate to $545 per ton, the eX
isting law limiting it to $500. Upon
both propositions the naval commit
tee suffered signal defeats. Mr.. Walker
(rep., Mass.) offered an amendment
providing that the government should
any foreign government paid. This
was carried the vote being 1l2 to As.
The Hopkins amendment fixing the
price of armor plate at $445 was adopt
ed without division. Mr.. Moody (rep.,
Mass.) then created a furore by Offer
ing an amendment to create the rank
Of admiral of the navy. Jproarious
applause greeted the reading of the
amendment. 1t was carried with rous-
ing cheers. The naval bill was then re-
ported to the house and passed / he
senate amendments to the military
academic bill were adopted. I he bills
now go to the president

Washington, Feb 23.-The house in
augurated the custom of listening to
the reading of Washington's farewell
address. Two hours were devoted to
the naval appropriation bill, but
seemingly only the threshold of the
debate upon the cost Of armorplate
has been passed. Boutelles amend
ment fixing the maximum price of ar
morplate at $545 per ton, but restricting
the provision to theappropriation made
in the present bill was ruled to be in
order. A bill was introduced reviv-
ing the rank of admiral and vice-ad-
mlral and naming Dewey and Schley
as the persons to fill the respective
positions.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Madison, Feb. 23.-Both houses
met but did little. The assembly
killed the bill requiring the state to
pay the expense of prosecuting Of
tenders in state institutions. Dodge
county wanted a change so that it
could be relieved, the prison being
located therein. A resolution was
introduced authorizing the state to Sc
cure title to all State Historical prop
erty. The senate killed bill for
the abatement of fences erected only
to annoy.
Madison, Feb 23.-At the evening
session of the assembly Mr. McGrath
won a victory by carrying the Gilmore
bin to a third reading. 1t provides
that the state shall bear the expenses
of trials for offenses committed at the
state institutions instead of the coun-
ties in which the institutions are To-
Gated as is now the case.
Madison, Feb. 24.-At the morn
ing session the assembly passed to
third reading by vote of So to % the
bill to make the Evening Wisconsin
the official state paper A memorial
to congress was adopted favoring the
naming of some cruiser Milwaukee.
No action was taken on the bill Great
ing board of barber examiners fur
Their than laying it over for a week.
A bill was passed requiring the state
,nIi II 1nn nd To niCfn oil
table" doctors in practice prior to July
|, 1897. The board wanted to compel
all doctors to register but Mr.. Orion
proposed an amendment as above and
it went through. The vote on the
amendment was So to 20 and on or
derng the bill as thus emascuated to
a third reading As to Al. Among the
assembly bills killed were the fol-
lowing: providing for state pur-
chasing agent and for a state road
commissioner, requiring all passenger
trains to stop at county seats and
amending the devorce laws.
In the senate Senator Baxter, for
the committee on claims, offered
joint resolution calling for message
by the retiring governor at the close
of each biennial term, setting forth
the condition of the states affairs, and
embodying recommendations in rela
ton thereto. This is in compliance
with recommendation in Governor
Scofield's message The resolution
went to the committee on state affairs.
Senator McGillivray's bill providing
for the distribution of state patron
age according to population of coun-
ties was reported without recommen-
dalton by the committee on state af-
fairs, of which he is chairman. Bills
adversely reported were: authorizing
county boards to put clerks of court,
registers and sheriffs on salaries; re-
quiring voters to show receipt for poll
tax; and requiring residence Of
thirty days in the district before yot-
ing.

Washington. Feb. 26.--After two
hours devoted to consideration of
bills on the calendar the senate be-
gan consideration of the compromise
army reorganization bill, which had
been agreed upon by the members of
the military affairs committee. Until
a short time before the measure was
taken up 1t was supposed that it would
be passed without serious difficulty.
but when it was learned by some sem
ators that the bill provided for a per-
manent increase of the standing army
objections We're heard. 1t became evil
dent that the measure would have
to run the gauntlet of sharp criticism
Mr.. German (dem., Md desired that
no authorization of a permanent in
crease in the army should be given
Speeches in support of the bill were
delivered by Messrs. Hawley (rep.,
Conn.,, Cockrell (dem. MOI. Carter
dem, Mont.l and Smith (dem., N. b.,
and against it by Messrs. German
(dem.. MOI, and Allen (rep., Neb. T..
Mr.. Carter estimated that the number
of men required would be 10000 for
the Philippines, 10000 for Cuba,
$4,000 for coast defenses and $4,000 for
duty at the various Indian posts in the
west, This would account for $4,000
men, provided for in the bill. Mr.. Car
ter pointed out that quite one-fifth of
the total number of the 100000, ac-
cording to statistics, would be in
eapaitcated for duty. No action was
taken.
Washington, Feb. 26-rhe house
continued work on the army appro-
priation bill, but failed to complete 1t.
II can say, said Mr. Cannon rep,
HID during the debate, that If the
speeches made here yesterday by Mr..
Simpson and others had been made in
Manila they would have been arrested,
tried by Il drumhead court martial and
shot
