WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.
Madison, March 1S.-The senate
passed bill which will destroy the
chances for democratic majority in
the Milwaukee council this year.
Three new wards have been created
and their representative in the council
would under the present law be APP
pointed by Mayor Rose. But this bill
prevents such q result. Another bill
relating to the compulsory education
of children under IA years of age was
also passed.
The assembly vert on record as
being unalterably opposed to any plan
or proposition whereby the state is to
bear a portion of the expense of
sprinkling or improving the streets
around the capitol park or the uni
versity grounds. The Gilman bill was
passed requiring the insulation of
electric light wires.
Madison, March 20.-Yesterday the
senate adopted the Hall memorial to
congress urging the passage of the
Cullom interstate commerce bill.
Senator Martins bill for woman on
the board of university regents was
passed without dissenting vote, and
the one of Senator O'Neil calling for
woman member of the board of nor
NAL regents was ordered engrossed.
Senator Whitehead's bill, forbidding
mutilation of horses by docking, was
also engrossed
All Night Session.
The assembly held the most remark
able session in a quarter century,
meeting at 1880 in the evening yester-
day and not adjourning till after Z
this morning. The struggle was over
the primary election bill. AT the morn
ing session Mr.. Stevens made a mo-
ton that the measure be made a
special order for O'Clock in the even
ing. Mr.. Orion objected. He was
glad, he said, that the committee had
reported the bill and that it had ex-
ercised great deliberation as,to what
its report should be. That was wise,
but he doubted whether the matter
should be passed at this time. The
bill had just come in and he person
ally had heard very little of the ex-
tended consideration that had been
given it. AS member OF the as
; sembly he was DESTROYS of doing moth!

, a nearing. He had seen the bin only
, last night and had been led to believe
that it would not be reported till the
latter part OF this week. To fix the
hearing so soon would not give an
a opportunity to prepare for the discus
! sion. He moved to amend by making
the time this evening. But Messrs
Hall and Stevens would hear to no de
lay and the house by vote of 4S tc
, 80 refused to adopt Orton's proposal
! Then the Stevens motion prevailed
vive voce. So at night a test vote came
! early upon the question of adopting
, the amendment to the bill as reported
by the committee. The question was
l
against the bill When the clerk
called the roll the vote resulted SO for
the adoption and 80 against as fol-

This showed the La Toilette men in
control and the opposition began to
. filibuster. e. A. Williams of Neenah
made a motion for a call of the house.
1t only requires the votes of IS
members to secure this and when this
was once on the only motions which
by the rules of the house, were in
order We're: to adjourn, and to raise
the call. The motion to adjourn was
+ voted down by the friends of the bill,
and the motion to raise the call was
voted down by the opposition. This
state Of affairs was made possible
: by the parliamentary rules which per
NIT an adjournment to be taken upon
majority vote of those present, but
viii not allow the call of the house to
be lifted without a majority vote OF
: all the electoral members. There
