Contest Between Sheep and Cattle
 Interests.
TO FIGHT IT OUT TOMORROW
Supervisors Salary Bill ReConSIdered by fhe Council and Amended. Bill Providing for Payment of P0II Tax Before Registration Passes the HouSe-LibrarV Bill Before inc Governor.

House bill 54, the handspring of
 which is the desire of the cattle men to
 get rid of the sheep men, came before the council whole committee yesterday afternoon, but neither the sheep nor cattle forces were organized and the battle was postponed until tomorrow afternoon. President Goldwater cast a sheep bomb by moving to strike out all of the bill after section 3. This would wipe out the section giving sup ervisors power to regulate by license all manner of business not regulated by | law. The amendment was lost.
 MT. Goldberg offered an amendment exempting railroads mines and incor- porated towns from the regulating 1 powers conferred by the bill on sup erVisors. This did not interfere with the main purpose of the bill to drive out the sheep men, but it brought to the startled vision of MT. Murphy the stalking ghost of the exempted corpo- ration. The amendment was voted down. When MT. Carpenter, in the chair declared the motion lost, MT. Wright and MT. Olney wanted it put again. saying they would have voted for it if they had understood it. The chair refused to reopen such danger Ous hole.
 MT. Goldberg sent up another amend ment, which developed to be the same one that had been lost, slightly dis guised, and the chair refused to en- certain it. After few bleats and bawls the two herds concluded to fight it out . later, and the bill was made a special order for tomorrow.
 This bill promises to arouse as much interest among men as house bill 8 did among the ladies. Mr Bunch is said to have a trump card up his sleeve to play against the bill at the right time MT. Hunt said yesterday that the cattle men of Gila county have sworn that the sheep will never be again driven through their country, and he prophecies that if this bill does not become a law there is liable to be a funeral on a large scale among his constituents.
 In the council MT. Wright movedNto
  46 passed Thursday. This is the bill giving supervisors of first class coun- ties $1, ,000 per year salary The bill was reconsidered, was amended, and will again come up for final passage to- morrow. When it came up for cons1d- eration MT. Bunch suggested that it be referred to a special committee, con- stituted in Messrs. Goldberg, Gold water and Finley, the members from the first class counties. MT. Goldberg replied that the committee had con sidered it and was practically making a report.
 The bill was amended to take effect Jan. 1, 1900; also, that the salary shall be paid quarterly; also, that in order to receive full salary each supervisor shall attend all meetings of the beard unless prevented by sickness. In this shape the bill was ordered to a third reading.
 House bill 8S-the insurance bill which provides that all insurance com panies not organized under the laws of the territory shall file articles of in corporation with the territorial secre- tary, was considered in the council whole committee. MT Wright wanted it postponed until Monday, until he could get more light on it, and it was so ordered.
 House bill Il, requiring the payment of poll tax before registration, was taken out of the election committee and brought before the house on final passage, on motion of Mir Pace. the father of the bill. It passed by the fol- lowing vote: Ayes-Adams, Arthur, Benham, Brown, Donau, Hale, Moore, Pace, Peterson, Pusch, Sanders, Scott, Woods, Williams-14; nays-Doan, Etz, Gray, linus, Parr. Stevens, Ash urst-7. MT. Gonzales was absent MT. Evans and MT Bartleson were out side the bar of the house and were ex- cused from voting. Mir. Adams and MT. Sanders changed their votes to aye" in order to move reconsidera- ton.
 When the vote was announced MT. Sanders gave notice that he would move to reconsider the vote whereby the bill passed. MT Scott moved to re- Moore moved to table that motion The point of order was raised that MT. Sanders notice to reconsider took precedence of MT Scott's motion. The speaker ruled that MT. Scott's motion was in order, and the roll was called 0n the motion to table the motion to reconsider. In the mean time MT.
