A Pile OF RUBBISH.
W. A. Nolan's Contemptuous Allu-
sion to the New Capitol in
To-day's Debate.

The Capitol Appropriation Is Ad-
vanced After Some Heated
Remarks.
&s The capitol appropriation bill was re-
ported out to the house this morning for
passage and was, the cause &of another
row. w. A. Nolan moved that the report
be tabled. pending the printing Of the re-
port OF the committee on public accounts
and expenditures on its investigation OF
the capitol commission He was persuad-
ed to withdraw his motion. however, to al
low Ambrose Tighe of st. Paul to be
heard. Mr.. Tighe complained that the bill
had been held UP in committee for six
weeks and said the time had now come to
consider 1t.
The gentleman from Mower and the
gentleman from Fillmore, said he as
he caught sight of Mr.. Burns who was
gesticulating wildly, in an effort to attract
the speakers attention, 'have PLAYED
horse with this bill, think, as long as the
house ought to let them He then moved
that the report Of the committee be ac-
cepted. 49,:
In reply Mr. Nolan said: s. The gentle
lliaH 11OM IbdluSSS, Ill Ills opening, SAID
he dldn' know anything about the ner-
it's OF this bill Well, I'll tell you some
thing about thc[ill. 1t means All appro-
priation of a miNon and a half for that
pile Of rubbish up the street here Two
years ago the capitol commission came
into this house and asked us for 81, OO0, 900.
They promised to complete the work if
given that amount. Well. they didn't do
1t. The previous speaker complained be-
cause this bill had been held up in COM
mittee for six weeks. But the commits
sion has been holding up the public for six
years. AS a substitute for all motions, I
move that this report be laid on the
table, - 49, .TIte-- =.- -.
The roll was called on the substitute
and it was beaten, AZ ayes to SO nays. The
committees report was then adopted by
a, viva voce vote and the bill will be
printed and put on general orders. J.
This capitol bill has been a thorn in
the side of the St. Paul legislators for
some time. Country members have used
it as club to win st. Paul support for
various freak measures. To-day the Hen
nepin delegation voted almost solidly to
lay the bill on the table, Mr.. Gillette,
member of the committee on public build
ings although he had objected to the ac-
ton taken in committee, stood by the re-
port. -: e. -;ls.sg e.r',. ,->E
