Madison, April 16.-The senate, af-
ter sharp debate in which Senator
Mills made several sarcastic refer
ences to the university professors who
lobby for the passage of their pet
measures, passed the McGillivray bill
appropriating $4,000 to the state geo
logical survey. The bill originally car.
ried $4,000, but when sent to the
reduced to $4,000. Prof. Buckley, who
conducts the survey, says that the
work can not be successfully carried
on with such limited means, and
though he has not decided just what
he will do. he will in all probability
make an effort to have the bill so
amended in the assembly that the al
lowance for this work will be ample.
In the lower house Assemblyman
McCabe of Milwaukee made vigorous
onslaught upon the special privileges
which material furnishers enjoy by
virtue of the lien laws as compared
with people in mercantile pursuits and
farmers. The debate arose over the
Rankl bill, which extends the lien law
to subcontractors. An amendment had
been offered requiring dealers to g.. e
notice within 80 days to house owners
of the fact that material used in their
construction had not been paid for
The amendment was ADOPTED and the
bill ordered engrossed, but only after
long fight in which Messrs. McCabe
and Rossman argued for the change
and Messrs. Sturdevant and Orion
against. The Eline bill exempting no
taries public from the operation of
the anti-pass law was opposed by Mr.
Hall, who said it was wrong for this
assembly, which had just adopted an
anti-pass constitutional amendment,
to now act contrary to the principle
involved in it. Such action might
give the senate an excuse for acting
adversely. Anyway the pass business
was bad. There was no reason why
any citizen should have such priv
lege. Mr.. Eline and Mr.. Keene said
it was never intended to carry the
anti-pass proposition to such an alb
surd length The bill was killed AZ to
IS. Mr.. Sturdevant and Mr.. Orion
both assailed in fine fashion Senator
Jones' bill which made landlords LA
BILE for water and lighting bills in case
tenants fail to pay them. 1t applies
only in case where municipal owner
ship prevails. Mr.. Orion thought such
proposition was a violation of the
taxing principle. Mr.. Cady also spoke
against the bill and it was killed. Nc
Millans bill appropriating 10000 for
the construction of the levee at Port
age was passed, and these also:
Ericksons, to appropriate $500 for
the interstate park on the st. Croix
river; Hartung's, to enable towns to
license dogs; Benson's, including wild
barley in the list of noxious weeds and
one from a committee, providing fire
escapes on all public buildings.
Madison, April 17-Action on the
voting machine proposition was again
deferred. A bill was proposed relat-
ing to the weight of engines and road
rollers on public highways. The as
sembly bill permitting children under
3 years of age to be admitted to the
Sparta state school was ordered to
third reading and the senate bill linn
ting to $3.50 candidates contribu-
ton to the campaign fund was en-
crossed.
In the assembly the lien bill went
over for the day, as did also the osteo-
pathic measure, while Senator

In one or more papers went back to
the committee. Boards now have the
option OF doing so or not as they
please. Senate bills we're concurred

gency fund TO be used in case OF
plaques; codifying the national guard
law and making an annual appropria-
ton of s125,000 to maintain the state
and permitting railways to
appoint special policemen at depots.
There was long fight on the bill
whose object is to do away with spe.
cial verdicts in personal damage
suits, but it was finally advanced,
while the bill permitting S. ID. Car
for $4,000 on an old printing claim
was killed with only II votes for it.
The Dane county fish bill was passed.

time.
