THE SENATE.

The Senators were invited by the
President of the Board of Health to
visit the insane asylum yesterday-to
look at some uninvented machines, per-
haps-and rejected the committee re-
port that was intended to kill the
Dickey anticipating bill. Instead OF
being laid on the table, the Dickey san
itation measure was taken up, at the
instance of its owner, and being read
section by section, passed second read
ing and will come up for it's final pas
sage on Friday.
BILE early in the days session, on mo-
ton of its introducer, who said that
the Board of Health had touched upon
the subject in its report, and put upon
the order of the day. A little later the
Health Committee, through Kalama, re-
| ported adversely on the bill, recon-
mending that 1t be laid on the table
permanently.
| Dickey got the floor on the motion to
adopt the report, and made strong
plea for his favorite measure. 1t was
bill, he said, in the interest of sani-
tation. He was perfectly willing to
have that part of 1t relating to tuber-
culosis stricken ont. The Board OF
Health had taken the ground that that
part could not be enforced. And he
himself asked the committee to strike
out that. But in basing their entire re-
| port upon that section, and trying to
kill the bill altogether on account of
! that, he did not think the committee
had treated him quite fairly. There
should be a difference made between
splitting on sidewalks and in the streets.
The distinction should be made, not
only in the interest of public health,
but of common cleanliness. He would,
therefore, move that the bill be taken
up, section by section, and this carried,
the report of the committee being
thrown out.

FILING OF MAPS.
The regular order now. came on the
third reading OF Senate Bill "a, provid-
ing for the filing of surveys and maps
of lands with the Registrar of Convey
anees. Bishop questioned the sense of
the bill. and McCandless made a some
what extended speech in favor OF
amending it so that the government
would not be responsible for the aS-
curacy of the maps so filed. But he
wanted TO retain the section providing
that such maps should be accepted as
evidence in courts of law.
