among them the Riordan bill to make
the state game warden, superintendent
of public property and the dairy and
food commissioner elective rather than
appointive, the Beach civil service and
corrupt practice bills anu the Green
bill to prohibit the use of trading
stamps. The bill to appropriate
$10,500 for the erection of monument
at Andersonville prison was concurred
in. The assembly killed Senator
McGillivray's bill relating to the de-
post of deleterious substances into
rivers. The bill coming from the
judiciary committee providing for the
improvement of the Portage levee,
was passed. It provides that three
commissioners be appointed by the
governor to oversee the work of i'm
provement, and serve without pay, ex-
cept actual expenses incurred. After
bitter debate lasting nearly an hour,
the assembly refused to order the Mil
waukee charter bill to a third reading
The university appropriation bill was
senate and will be sent to the governor
who will undoubtedly sign it. The
bill appropriates $47S,50 for the use
of the university for the coming two
years. The state is spending much
more money, Notwithstanding the
early-session declaration that all ap-
preparation bills would be "cut down
to the bone" The appropriations of
this session exceed by $555,000 those
made at the session two years ago.
Madison, May 15.-There will be no
bubonic plague prevention fund SEE
aside by the present session of the
legislature. The bill first provided for
fund of s100,vuO. This was cut
down to $4,000 and it appeared that
this would be the determination of
the legislature when the senate be-
came divided upon the question of in
Guiding the fighting of smallpox in
! the purposes of the measure. The
bubonic people prevailed in the upper
house and the assembly refused to
leave out smallpox. There was a
fruitless conference and the bill is
dead. So the state keeps it's $4,000.
Senators Wipperman and Riordah
had an exchange of speeches on the
Riordan bill to set aside half of the
receipts for paying for bounties on
dead wolves and to pay the counties
for what they expend on resident fish
and game wardens. Senator Wiper

any county system of protecting the
fish and game would be inefficient.

on the success with which he had en-
forced the fish and game laws. The

The assembly amendments to the
Hatten bill for an increase of the
number of county training schools for
teachers from six to 10 were con-
Cured in. The McGillivray resolution
to set the time for final adjournment
was laid over until Tuesday.
The ghost of the primary bill came
up from its legislative graveyard and
was threshed over by the assembly.
The fight was over a motion by Mr..
Andrew, providing for the discharge
of the conference committee and that
the assembly should refuse to recede
from its position in refusing to con-
cur in the senate amendment to adopt
that part of the bill relating to town
and county officials and referring the
rest to the people in the fall of 1904.

vided for the discharge of the con-
ference committee and for the re-
cession of the assembly from its po-
sition and concurrence in the senate
amendment. Under the rules the
resolution lies over until next Tues
day. There was a protest from the
stalwart members on Mr.. Andrews

over until Tuesday.

game laws was the cause of con-
siderable debate. AS reported by the
