Madison, May 3.-The senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections IN
troduced a bill to amend the present
caucus and convention laws. It's prin-
cipal provisions are to do away with
proxies, to provide for nominations by
plurality vote instead of by a ma
jority as heretofore, to provide for an
open ballot and to make an aye and no
vote necessary on every question that
comes before conventions. Senato-
Mosher's bill authorizing the govern Or
to put in an electric lighting plant
for the capitol was passed. The
senate concurred in the Frost
mortgage bill without discussion Or
opposition. This is the only tavatio'
measure OF any consequence which
has been been passed at this session
and though it can give no such relief
as the railroad bills framed by the
tax commission, it is thought to be a
step in the right direction by prac-
tically all those interested in tax re-
form. Senator Mills bill reducing
the sldlt Oh lliSp'Niol sup w :"

year was passed. Senator ONeils

The late General George b. Nc
Clellan, u. S. A., is credited with hav-
ing made the statement man, years
ago that the sinking of clans into The
sand along the ocean shore ~ closing
their shells and ejecting the water
from them in a thin stream first Sug-
gested to him the use of the water jet
as an aid in sinking piles in sand. Al
any rate, as long ago as 1852 water
jet was so used, by General Nc
Clellan's advice, in putting down the
piles for wharf and warehouse.
Water was forced through an ordinary
rubber hose, with piece of gas pipe
on the end of the nozzle. This was
placed close to the point of the pile on
the bottom, the jet Of water scoring
the sand away from the pile and
making a hole. in which the pile sunk
rspidly.
From that time on, as recently re-
corded in u paper by l.. Y. Schermer
horn before the Engineers club OF
Philadelphia, the water jet method
has been similarly employed In many
different places by different persons.
In the United States. in the improve

providing state electric lighting

the bills passed were: appropriating

A bill had been passed permitting the
licensing Of dogs at from 81 to So

one to three dollars from every owner

cities and villages can escape payment
of such a tax by ceasing to own or
the watch dog and shepherd are as
much a necessity as the other do
nestle animals which they protect
and guard, and the license fee would
amount to an increase in taxation.
The fee or tax proposed may not be
esteemed by the legislature a serious
burden in itself, but it would add to
burdens borne by great majority of
the people which are already out of all
proportion to those borne by others
whose influence would seem to be
more potent" Then the legislature
was lectured for not taxing the cor
porations more heavily. By vote of
81 to - the assembly yesterday morn
ing killed the second railroad tax bill.
This measure was drawn by the tax
commission and provided for the ad
valorem tax system, or that railroad
property should be assessed the
same as all other holdings. There was
a long debate. A feature of the
session was vigorous and earnest eff
fort made by Assembyman Benson
to secure favorable action on his bill
providing for the publication of
school text books by the state and
their sale at cost. Despite sturdy OPP
position Mr.. Benson carried the bill
to third reading. Among the meas
ures advanced were Senator Stout's

opened the flood gates of oratory were
of less Importance. Among them
were the measure making telegraph

owners OF traction engines weighing

Fearne bill depriving the employees in
the capitol of the usual half holiday
on Saturdays. The telegraph liza
bility measure was indefinitely post

charter which enabled f. S. Hammond
to improve Lost creek, Sawyer county,
was opposed by Mr.. Mccormick and
Mr.. Owen and favored by Mr.. Root,
who made speeches Indicating that q
vast deal of feeling existed over the
measure, essentially local The bill
was finally concurred in Mr.. F.

Then the house by the same NOt
refused to adhere to it's amendment in
favor of applying the primary princi-
pie to city and county officials AID
legislators, with a referendum clause
submitting the primary question to
the people next spring. After con
siderable sparring over parliamentary
points the Hagemeister substitute was
adopted, As to As. This substitute
merely provides that county officers
shall be chosen under the primary
law and each county is to decide for
itself whether it will operate under
the law. 1t is believed the governor
will veto it.
By vote of ~ to 81 the assembly
killed the Erickson bill recreating the
state board of immigration. An un-
successful effort was made by the
members from Sheboygan county
Messrs. Spratt and Krumrey, to
amend the senatorial apportionment
bill. Mr.. Brunson offered an amend
ment making Senator Burns and
Senator Munson's districts as the :
were in the last apportionment. This
was adopted by the assembly and was
almost Immediately concurred in by
the senate. Among the reports was
one from the state affairs committee

creasing the number of supreme court
judges from five to seven.
