Der. The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
There were only afternoon sessions
in both branches yesterday. Not a
great deal of business was transacted
in the council but there was the usual
avalanche of bills in the house, among
which were the following:
BY Mr.. Webb, an act relating to
bounties for the destruction of wild
animals. The list of the prescribed is
somewhat heightened, including rae

A substitute for house bill No. 10 /
was brought in from the committee on /
education. This is the bill which pro- |
poses to pay teachers interest on war |
rants. 1t was originally proposed to |
allow interest at the rate of six per |
cent. The committee amended this, /
making the rate ten per cent. Opposi- |
ton having developed the bill was sent
back and the original rate was restored |
in the substitute. In that shape the
bill was passed.
Most of the bills introduced the day
before were given their second read
ing and at 8 o'clock the house until
II o'clock today.
1t was expected that the bill for tax
ing the products of mines and mining
claims, of which Mr.. Kruger had given
notice the day before would be intro
duced, but Mr.. Kruger stated that he
had not yet been able to put the fin
shing touches on the bill. which Will
be offered some time next week
1t might here be said that error has
been made in a description of the pri-
mary election bill introduced i'm the
house by Speaker Webb. 1t was stat
I'd that it was a counterpart of the
dill brought into the council by Presi-
lent Hunt. As a matter of fact the
bills propose quite different methods of
procedure, though both tend to the
same end. The council bill does away
With the convention while that of the
house does not. The bill is a printed
;opy of the bill introduced by Mr.
Webb in the twenty second legislature
md which was passed by the house.
The only bills introduced in the
council We're by Mr.. Nugent one of
hem relates to the destruction of the
property of mines and railroads and
makes it a misdemeanor for persons to
ave in their possession acids, steel fill
ngs or explosives to be used in the
estruction of machinery or
Their property. The other bill
y Mr.. Nugent is similar
0 one introduced in the house the day
efore prohibiting persons from riding
n railroad tracks in other vehicles
han those provided by the railroad
The council also adjourned to eleven
clock this morning
