Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 20.-Special
Correspondence: There was bunch
of bills in the house yesterday, 10
measures being introduced. In the
senate only four bills were introduced
and the announcement of committees
by President Bartlett was the most
interesting feature. Speaker Baker
did not make an--announcement of his
committee appointments as expected
and Wednesday is now set for same.
The Wisconsin grading and inspec-
tion matter came up in the house, a
concurrent resolution being intro
duced by Mr.. Young of Barnes. The
resolution which was adopted, called
for the appointment of a committee
consisting of three members OF the
house, two from the senate, the COM
missioner of agriculture and the
attorney general to confer with the
board of trade.at West Superior, re-
garding the proposed Wisconsin law
regarding the grading and inspection
Of grain. Mr.. Peterson of Towner
introduced resolution along similar
lines as that of Mr.. Young, as a sub
stitute for resolution INTRODUCED by
the gentleman from Towner a week
or so ago. This resolution was also
adopted, after some little discussion.
The resolution of Mr.. Buttz, calling
for the appointment Of committee
to investigate the matter Of building
an addition to the capitol building,
was made a special order for Friday.
Mr.. Buttz stated that the matter
should be looked up thoroughly as it
was highly important. 1t might be
possible, Mr.. Buttz believed, that the
committee would deem it advisable
to recommend that a new building be
erected nearer the city. At present
committee rooms cost 81, 800 for the
session and it would be much better
if the rooms were located in the cap
itol building.
A resolution introduced by Mr..
Wagner providing that the Company
A ball may be held this evening in
the capitol building, carried. An
amendment of Mr.. McGahan that the
printers be allowed the use of the
house for their ball Feb. 10, was
defeated.
A motion to have Major Hamilton
remain during the session in the ca
pacity Of advisory committee to the
speaker carried.
Mr.. Davis introduced resolution
providing that the minutes of the
senatorial caucus be spread upon the
pages of the journal. It was adopted.

express itself favorably to the election
OF United States senators by popular
vote was referred on motion of Mr..
RuttZ. to a committee.
