Madison, March 81.

Two incidents of unusual interest
marked the session of the senate yes
terday morning. The bill to exempt
from taxation the property OF certain
veterans of the civil war was finally
and forever killed by the defeat OF the
motion to reconsider and Jne friends OF
the Milwaukee architects prevented
the reply of Cass Gilbert from being
nrinted in the senate journal. The
senate had some difficulty on agreeing
upon adjournment, but resolution
was finally framed and adopted to ad-
iourn after this mornings session until
next Wednesday evning and to hold
Saturday session at the end OF next
week.
Reconsideration Lost.
Senator Burns as he announced
Wednesday, moved that the vote by
which the bill to exempt from taxation
$500 worth of property OF old civil war
soldiers who were not worth more
than SO, 900 was refused advancement

lie over for a week. Senator Hudnall
offered no objection to the motion to
reconsider but opposed the laying over
of the matter for a week. He IN
sisted upon an immediate vote, not
withstanding the remark of Senator
McGillivray that such an objection was
Unprecedented. Senator McGillivray
S6xpressed his impression that the mo-
ton could lie over under the rules in
spite of the objection, but this rule
could not be found When it appeared
that the vote was inevitable Senator
Frear explained that if he were to
vote a misunderstanding might result
and ne asked leave to be allowed to re-
frain from voting He said the motion
to reconsider was not made at his re-
quest. After some remarks by Sena-
tors Merton and Kreutzer it was
agreed that Senator Frear be allowed
to refrain from voting On the motion.
1t was learned that Senator Frear dia
Z not wish to take advantage of the re-
fusal of Senator Eaton to vote Senator
Frear is active in regard to tolerating

of the legislature of a man against
whom there remain two charges of
criminal bribery. By agreement Sen
ator Eaton refrained from voting yes
terday and Senator Frear who is on
the opposite side of the exemption
proposition from Senator Eaton, de-
sired not to permit the possibility of

from Architect Cass Gilbert, being the
reply of that gentleman to the charges
made by Milwaukee architects and
others that he had ignored the require
ments of the program of the capitol
plan competition and had suggested a
building of extravagant dimentions and
cost, and accompanied the report with
a resolution that it be printed in the
journal. Senator McGillivray, who is
the leader of the opposition Of the
Milwaukee architects against the pro-
posals of the eastern man. objected to
the printing of the reply in the journal
unless the original arguments upon
which the reply is based be also print

the whole thing. the arguments and
the reply, but would not consent to
printing the reply unless the first argu-
ments be also printed. The report was
returned to the committee upon it's
request.
