NO EXTRA SESSION
HOUSE PUTS AN END TO SUCH
OSSiBiLlTY.
BY PASSING TIE ARMY BILL
All Senate Amendments Concurred In
by Almost a Strict Party Vote
Mr. Hull Of Iowa Adds Some Incl
dent to Days Debate.

Washington, March 1.-The house
removed all possibility Of an extra
session yesterday by concurring in
the senate amendments to the army
appropriation bill. The vote stood
1853 to 1874. It was strict party vote
with exception of Messrs. Mccall
(Mass), Loud (Cal), Driscoll( n. ",
and Mann Qll), who voted with the
democrats. The bill now goes to the
president. The house was brought to
vote by special order prepared by
the committee on rules which per-
mitted one hours debate on each side.
The democrats attempted to filibuster
but were overwhelmed.
The debate was not especially note
worthy. The Philippine and Cuban
amendments were defended by the re-
publicans and assailed by the demo
Gratis. The only exciting incident Oc-
Cured at the close of the debate when
Mr.. Hull Qa.), whose name had been
coupled with a lumber development
company in the Philippines frankly
acknowledged he had invested money
in it. He said it was a legitimate en-
terprise and which was not
looking for government favors. Sub
sequently when he stated that the
company would not have invested any
money if Bryan had been elected the
democrats jeered and Kissed and
shouted that it was because if Bryan
had been elected the Philippines would
not have been exploited. Mr.. Lentz
(Ohio) challenged Mr.: Hulls right to
vote, but Mr.. Hull voted aye.
The final conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill was adopted
and a number of minor bills were put
through the final stages. The con.
| ference report on the st. Louis expo
| sition bill (Which agreed to Sunday
closing) was agreed to and the bill
was sent back to conference. A mo-
ton to concur in the Charleston expo
sition amendment was defeated, 81 to
1S2. The revenue cutter service bill
was side-tracked early in the day by a
vote Of the house. The speaker ap-
| pointed MessTs. Hemenway (rep.,
Ind, Warner (rep.. I'D, Long rep,
| Kas), Newlands ISL. rep, New and
Maddox (dem., Ca on the committee
to frame bill regarding employees of
the house during the recess. The
house then took a recess until 9 this
morning, when two hours will be de-
voted to unanimous consent legisla-

Madison. March +.

Madison, March +.
Grand Army men are highly elated
at the prospects of the passage of the
bill before the legislature for the re
turn of the battle flags to the rOtunda
of the capitol as well as the estab-
lishment Of a memorial hall in rooms
on the second floor of the building, a
portion of which are now occupied as
headquarters for this veterans Organi-
zation. When the rooms are placed
in proper shape, with partitions taken
away and the ceilings made higher,
and other necessary improvements
made, the encampment will see the
necessity of decorating the walls with
portraits of deceased department
commanders and other distinguished
comrades.
There were 120 comrades registered
at Grand Army headquarters this
winter, from all parts of the state and
outside of it, showing their COM
pany, regiment and pOstOffice address.
The visiting comrade will always
find at the registry table that affable
and courteous comrade, Capt Fred. A.
Bird, the assistant quartermaster-
general Of the department. Grand
Army comrades will find room 204 in
the capitol building a pleasant place
to while away an hour or so listening
to Captain Bird tell of his experiences
in putting down the rebellion at
the battle Of Prairie Grove
while in command of Company
B, Of the goth Wisconsin
regiment and listen to the thrilling
and hair-breadth escapes of Capt
John c. McFarlin, the assistant adju-
tant-general, while he was a member
of company F, of the second Wisc0n-
sin cavalry.
There is to be a great campfire at
BelOit next Tuesday evening, at which
it is expected a large number of old
soldiers will be present. Among those
who are contemplating to go from;
Madison are Department Commander
David G. James, Col. E. B. Gray, Ma
jor J. w. CuTran, Senator VIM. O'Nein,
Assemblyman George Spratt, Captains
F. A. Bird, J. C. McFarlin J. H.
Spaulding and others. Beloit is the
home of Mr.. Myra G. GrinneIl, the
highly talented president of tho
state organization of the Woman's
Relief Corps, and a number of ladies
of the local corps will doubtless he
present. Last winter the late General
Harnden attended a very successful
and enthusiastic campfire at this de
ightful little college town.
Department Commander James at
tended and addressed a large camp
fire at Oshkosh on Washington
birthday. The Oshkosh comrades
never fail to have a campfire and
bean banquet during the winter
The regular meeting of Lucius
Fairchild post will be held tomorrow
evening. Visiting comrades cordially
invited to attend. Flag out in front
of hall during the day and drum lit up
at night

] T. ". Hall was the last speaker.
! He thought that the state should do
I the work. He argued that if the COM
monwealth was under any obligations
to take care Of the blind, the deaf and
dumb or the insane, it certainly was
under the deepest obligation to care
for the dependent babes He insisted
that every step taken by the state to
do charitable work and relieve private
beneYOlence was an advance in civil
cation. He was surprised that any
Christian gentleman should argue that
it was a backward step to compel
every member of the state to bear
his just portion of the burden of car
ing for dependents.
Loan for Portage County.
The senate committee on state af-
fairs recommended for passage Mr..
Collins bill providing for loan to
Portage county of $4,000. Mr.. Col
Inns and Attorney General Hicks ap-
peared before the committee. The
question as to the constitutionality Of
allowing the land commission to make
loans arose and Mr.. Hicks said that he
would not sanction any such loans
being made to municipalities or cOun-
ties to pay an existing Indebtedness,
and while it was his opinion that this
bill was legal he would not vouch for
the discretionary powers of the land
commissioners being used favorably
after the bill had passed. 1t was le-
gal question on which lawyers might
differ, but it has been his policy to
have the land commission refuse to
loan money rather than run the
chances on the payment being with
out legal authority.
Who Shall Pay Freight?
The committee also recommends
for passage 345s, introduced by the
joint committee on telephone investi-
ICES state officers, state boards and the
two houses of the Legislature to con-
tract for telephone and Geographic
service in the performance of the bust
ness of the state. Mr.. Hicks also
spoke on this bill, favoring it's pas
sage. He said that it was not in any
wise neutralizing the effect of the
anti-pass law. He believed that while
state officers were acting in their of
fetal capacity they should not be
bound to pay the expenses incident to
the performance Of their duties 1t
was suggested that if this bill should
pass it would lead to abuses and that
state officials would use the telephone
and telegraph service at public ex-
penSe for private purposes. Mr.. Hicks |
replied that that must remain a mat |
ter for the individual to determine If
in principle it was right for public Of |
ficers to have these expenses paid in
the discharge Of their duties, the fact |
that some might be INSCRIPTIONS in !

The assembly committee on fish and |
game took up the bill relating to fish
ing on PeWaukee lake, J. M. Caldwell |
of Pewaukee appearing for the bill and |
William Starkey, Rudolph Giljohann |
and William F. Schroeder of Milwau-
kee, all summer residents at Pewau-
kee lake, appearing against it. The |
bill was Indefinitely postponed.

FOR FARMERS BOYS
SCHOOLS FOR COUNTY AGRlCUL.
TURE APPROVED.
PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION
One County May Have Its Own Insti-
tuition or Several Counties May
Join in the MISREPRESENTATION
Wholly Optonal-State to Help in
a Limited Manner.

! A bill is now before the legislature
more counties jointly, to establish and
maintain school intended primarily
to give instruction in agriculture and
domestic economy. These schools
are to be under the supervision of the
state superintendent and the dean of
the rollege of agriculture. They are
to be free to all students possessing
the required qualifications residing in
the county or counties supporting
them. Each school is to have farm
of at least 80 acres connected with L,
for practical instruction in agricul-
ture The cost of the schools is to be
borne by the county or counties estab-
fishing them, but two such schools
that best fulfill their mission may be
placed upon an approved list" which
will entitle them to receive from the
state one-half of the cost Of the in
struction.
Speaking of this bill, a prominent
member of the university faculty
said: ct should greatly interest all
who believe in agricultural education
The agricultural college at Madison,
while giving excellent instruction, is
overcroWded. Enlarge it as much as
we may, it can scarcely hope to &C.
cOmmOdate more than one in hun
dred OF the young men and women
that are TO settle upon our farms in
the coming decades. The young men
who finish the short course in agricul-
ture at Madison are in great demand
as farm assistants and foremen in our
own and other states, which shows
conclusively that little education in
agriculture has a market value, even
in farm hands. If an educated farm
hand is worth more for what he can do
than an ignorant one, how much more
important is it that his employer
should be educated.
This bill requires no county to es-
tablish school, and the only expense
that can come upon the state is half
the cost of the instruction in two Of
the schools The cost Of the build.
ings, farm and equipment is all to be
borne by the county or counties estab-
fishing them. All who have the agri-
cultural interests Of our state at heart
should write to their senators and as
semblymen at once, urging them to
vote for bill No. 157 A.-to provide for
the establishment and maintenance of
county schools of agriculture and do
nestle economy"

VETERANS TO PARTICIPATE.
Dispute Between Inaugural Committed
and Old Soldiers Ended.

Washington, March 2.-The dispute
between the inaugural committee and
the war veterans over the matter of
precedence in the parade Monday re.
suited yesterday in compromise un.
der which the veterans will take part
to a certain extent in the ceremonies.
At a conference between Secretary
Root and Gen. Francis Greene, grand
marshal of the parade, and General
Daniel E. Sickles, it was decided the
local and visiting Grand Army veter-
ans will form as ali honorable escort
to the president from the white house

was reached that the veterans would
not participate in the afternoon pa
rade on the return from the capitol
but after the procession has passed
through the court Of honor they will
be reviewed by the president.

Bismarck, n. D., March 2.-CasheTs
primary election bill, fashioned after
the Minnesota law, was killed by the
senate after a week of fiIibustering.
The matter was delayed as long as
possible, and the bill was finally sent
to the committee of the whole in the

indefinite postponement.
Several senators who were against
