the reports OF The election committee
recommending for passage the local
option bill of the Illinois Anti-Saloon
League. The bill went to the order of
first reading. Schnipper, from the
committee on mines and mining, re-
ported the Chiperfield bill regulating
the firing of blasts in coal mines. By
unanimous consent the bill was read
a first time end advanced to second
reading.
Tees bill providing for uniform
school books in counties outside of
Cook was taken up as a special order
and was read a second time. The au-
thor offered amendments providing for
the handling of authorized school
books by local dealers. These were
adopted. After other amendments not
materially altering the measure Kinds
moved to strike out all after the enact
ing clause and substitute a bill of his
own. This was lost, as was another
similar motion by Burgett, and also an
attempt to re-refer. The bill was then
advanced to third reading.

CITY OWNERSHIP GOES OVER
Chicago Election VIII BE History Before
Action Is Taken.

Springfield, Ills, April 3.-The Muel-
Ter street railway municipal ownership
bill was recalled to the order Of sec
ond reading in the senate yesterday
morning for the purpose of amend
ment, and after the amendments had
been adopted 1t was ordered en-
crossed and to a third reading. This
action will delay its passage in the SEN
ate until after the municipal election
in Chicago, as the attendance at to-
days session will be too light to make
the passage of bill possible, and as
both houses will adjourn today until
next Wednesday morning. Mueller
asked unanimous consent to take the
bill up out of its regular order and to
recall it to second reading for the pur-
pose of amendment.
This was objected to by Parker, and
then the rules were suspended for this
purpose. Mueller thereupon offered an
amendment making the specific provis-
ion that any grant made by a city to
q private corporation shall be made I'M
der the provisions of the existing law
'inregardto street railroads." common
ly known as the ''horse and dummy
act" and it was adopted.
Parker offered a resolution calling
upon all the state officers and iRstitu-
tions to file with the governor the re-
ports called for by the constitution,
declaring that"it appears that for some
years past all such officers of both par
ties have failed to make such report,
and that this salutary provision of the
T.
of USE" The resolution went over I'M
der the rules.
The senate went into executive ses-
sion and confirmed the appointment
of DR.. p. III. Vessel, of Moline, as a
member of the state board of health.
Among the bills read a third time
and passed were the following: Trans
ferring the jurisdiction over employ.

Springfield, Ills, April 3.-When
Deadys bill to permit six-rcund box

terday Castle moved to strike out the
enacting clause. Wheeler moved to ia
BILE this motion, and the motion to ia
BILE was declared carried on a viva
voce vote Stewart, the Prohibition
member, moved to postpone the consid-
Grafton of the bill indefinitely.
MIR. Speaker" he said, ST under
stand that under a motion of this
character it would not be proper to dis
cuss the merits of this BILL but will
say a word as to why action on it
should be postponed. There are more
important matters here than the con-
sideration of bills for the promotion
of prize fighting, and am at loss to
understand how a measure of this sort
could be made a special order while
so many important bills are behind on
the calendar.
Thinks It Has Slipped In.
'I have been told that no measure
could be advanced here out Of it's reg
uIar order without the consent of the
Republican steering committee of the
house, but the appearance of this bill
on the calendar as a special order is
sufficient TO convince any one that this
statement is untrue. 1 am not prepared
to believe that the honorable speaker
of this house, the gentleman from
Cook LShanahanl, and the gentleman
from Bond [Lindlyl, have permitted
themselves to become sponsors for
bill to encourage prize fighting. 1t must
be that this bill has slipped in here at
n time when they were not on their
guard"
Shanahan Explains How, Perhaps.
Stewards remarks were uttered with
sarcasm, and they brought Shanahan
to his feet. 1.-The gentleman from
Cook he said questions the action
of the members of the Republican
steering committee. 1 want to say in
regard to my position regarding prize
fighting that / would vote for a bill to
send every prize fighter to Jail and
keep him there. l was in the chair
when this bill was made q special or

prised to see the gentleman from Cook
sit quietly in his seat when this bill
was called up and made a special or

to the BILL"
THAT must have been during the
confusion when none of us could tell
what was being DONE" said Stewart

sit was not" said Shanahan. This
bill was taken up among the first of
the bills considered, and there was no
confusion in the house at the time. 1
expected some one to object to this
bill, and waited for objections, but not
a single protest was made" The vote
was taken on Stewards motion to post
pone indefinitely and it was declared
lost. Murray offered facetious
amendment, providing that the bill APP
ply to the fighting of game cocks.
This amendment was tabled, and the
bill was ordered to third reading.

has made greater progress in the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital rs
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the various industries and fac

influx OF settlers is creating
an increased demand for lands
Of all kinds and prices are grad

small fruits and berries and in
