HOUSE is GOING TO
PASS ON BILL TOO,
Wheatley's Bill Adopted By
Big Vote.
ELECTION OF LIEUT.. GovEeNoR
Is Provided For in This Important
Measure House VIII Probably Pass
Bill AIso-Some of the Provisions
Contained.

The dispatches yesterday brought
the gratifying intelligence that the bill
of Senator Crawford Wheatley, pro.
vidipg tor the election of lieutenant
governor, had passed the Senate by a
large vote, only half dozen senator's
opposing the measure. Immediately
after its passage it was transmitted to
the House for passage there. If it
passes the House, as many think it
will, it will require a constitutional
amendment to make it become opera
tive, and it will be voted upon at the
coming election. The lieutenant-gov-
ernor will also be president of the
Senate as an ex officio officer. AS pro-
vided, the lieutenant-governo shall be
chosen at the same time, in the same
manner and continue in Office for the
same period and be possessed of the
same qualification as governor; his SAL
airy shall be $500 per annum; he shall
not be required to reside at the seat of
government except when the Iegisla,
ture is in session or performing duly as
President Of the Senate. He shall have
no vote except in case Of tie.
