THE TROUBLE OVER sENALE BILL 156.
The trouble of the day occurred when
the senate messaged over a number of
bills that had been passed the day pre-
vious, but had not gotten out of the sem
ate before that body adjourned. Under
the rules the message could not be re-
ceived by the house without a suspen-
sion OF the rules. Among the bills that
was messaged over was senate bill 156, a
bill establishing maximum railroad rates
on coal; a bill that many persons opposed
for the reason that they thought it would
injure rather than benefit the coal inter
ests, as they considered the bill would
antagozize the railroads, which had al
ready shown a disposition to treat coal
companies fairly, it being charged by
some that the bill was solely in the in
terest of a Dickinson coal company.
The messenger of the senate had two
messages, n covering the rate Dill and
one relating to the other measures. He
read both messages, and Hare at once
moved that the house do not receive the
message as to the rate bill. Young
moved as a substitute that the house do
receive the message. The motion failed
to receive the necessary two-thirds vote
and the senate messenger returned the
bill and message. to the senate. The
vote on this matter stood 81 to'23.
Hare move the clincher, but was de-
feated.
Bacon moved the suspension of the
rules, and that the bunch of bills in the
other message, senate bills l76, 217, 1877
and 227, be received. Young moved as a
substitute that the vote on senate bill
lo6 be reconsidered, which motion pre-
vailed, and the motion was reconsidered
by ~ to IA. Hare demanded a vertical
ton and the result was 46 to l3.
WHO GLOMMED THE BILL?
1t was about this time that the desk
force discovered that both the message
concerning senate bill 156 and the bill it.
self were missing, and forthwith there
was a row. Young accused Messenger
Lindsay of purloining the bill. Leech
arose and explained the matter as stated
above, and then" Young strongly init
mated that futile, who had been at the
house desk, had swiped the precious
document. Leech said under the cir
cumstances when the house refused to
receive the message as to senate bill 1856,
the messenger had nothing else to do but
to return it.
The speaker called Bacon to the chair.
Young moved that all the bills mes
saged over from the senate as above be
received under suspension of the rules.
Rose demanded a division of the ques-
ton, which being granted, the motion to
receive senate bill 176, providing for the
appointment for a special public exam

was lost, and the bill was sent back to
the senate. The motion was carried to
receive senate bill III, Sanborn, making
the commandant of the soldiers home
secretary of the board of trustees,
also the motions for senate bill
l67, Laidlaw, government of county
mutual insurance companies and senate
bill 227, Wolbert, providing for semi
annual examination of state banks.
