Des Moines, March 2..-The bad
blood which developed in the senate
yesterday has been coming for some
time. The trouble over the bill to APP
propriate for a stock pavilion is only a
| part of q larger play. The senate is
getting to the point where it can do but
little business. There is q disposition
to quarrel over small matters and not
to do anything of any real consequence
| But the insistence of the state fair peo-
pie that the bill in question should be
rushed thru ahead of all other bills and
especially ahead of the bills for the
state institutions. charitable and ed
ucational, has rather tended to injure
that bill in the estimation OF its
| friends. The bill was placed in the
hands of the appropriations commit
tee in the morning that 1t might take
| its turn along with the bills for the
hospital. colleges, Soldiers Home, in
dustrial schools and other institutions.
| But in the doing of 1T the chairman of
| the committee on appropriations. Mr..
Garst, had SO nettled Senator Harri-
man, head of the agricultural commit
t,ee. that the latter was resolved upon
revenge and late in the afternoon
cred. A motion to adjourn had been
made and roll call was insisted on
and the motion to adjourn was lost, af-
ter which the motion to reconsider was
pissed, and the bill goes on the calen-
dar. There will undoubtedly be other
sharp passages before the bill is al
lowed to get thru. altho there is on op-
position to the bill from any source,
only a desire that it shall not be given
the right of way over all others. Dur
ing the debate it was disclosed that
there is an understanding that all the
appropriation bills shall be considered
together and none be taken UP separ-
ately. The conference committee of
the two committees are at work faith
fully seeking to present a list of ap-
preparations that will mset with gen
|esSi approval.
The house this morning passed the
Walters bill to provide that when Il
nuisance is committed in more than one
either An amendment was added that
it should not apply to municipal cor
porations. This is the bill to effect the
Marshalltown glucose factory case, and
permit suit to be brought in Tama
county.
The resolution on the Hoar bill in
congress was defeated on tie vote of
As and an other conference committee
was authorized. The bill to provide
for opening a woman's reformatory was
called up and 1t was amended so as to
locate the reformatory at Knoxville,
but the bill failed to pass SO to 81. The
bill offered by Gov. Cummins to grant
jurisdiction to the United States over
land for postoffice purposes was passed.
The senate spent the forenoon on the
sheriff's fee bill, but did not reach a
vote.
The bill for a state insurance depart
ment has been favorably recommend
ed to the house and will be taken up
soon. This bill is a radical departure
from present methods and 1T is some
thing which has often been urged on
the legislatures The insurance bust
ness in the state auditors Office is
heavy and the force entirely made
quate. The work requires special fit
ness and good men ought to be got for
the place. The bill proposes that the
insurance business shall be placed on
a higher plane than merely as de-
partment of the state auditors office.

The friends of the resolution to give
encouragement to the bill in congress
to prevent the evil of sending men to
Jail for striking won a signal victory
yesterday afternoon in the adoption of
the report of the conference committee
and then let their victory slip away
from them by inability to keep up with
the procession. Mr.. Dunham forced
before there was time to
pass the resolution after the report was
adopted. There is some question
whether or not the adoption of the re-
port is not sufficient. The vote on
adoption was AZ to 35
The committe on ways and means of
the house could not begin hearings on
the assessment bill yesterday because
the house remained in session until
quite late, but they will be begun as
soon as possible. The vote by which
the Molseberry bill passed the house
indicates that there is a decided senti-
ment there in favor of giving the rail-
roads a fair show for business. 1t has
been said many times that the Noise
berry bill was u rank railroad measure
but the vote in the house would indi- |
cate that house members do not be-
lieve 1T. The following was the vote:
