Chicago, March 20.-Trainmen and

of Chicago have rejected the recent
offer of the general managers of LIE
system for an increase of wages, &C
cording to information that has
reached here. An official canvass of
the referendum vote which has been in
progress for a fortnight, will begin
today 1t is stated further that Che

their demands are not granted. I'm
less the railroad managers offer cur
ther concessions a strike of $4,000 men

tween the men and the managers is
expected to be held next week. The
managers have already offered to sub

voting members of the unions. 1t was
explained to the men when the vote
was started that the verdict rejecting
the offers of the railroad managers
would carry with it a strike vote. As
the matter now stands the strike vote
has been carried but no order to quit
will be issued until further efforts t,

Madison, March 19.-The senate
committee on state affairs reported
the barber law bills yesterday, but
none received favorable recommends

law entirely, and some of them to
greatly increase the powers of the
board, all were reported for indefinite

change will be made by the present
Legislature with the barber law. A
joint memorial from the legislature
of Maine was received, in favor of
federal building of good roads. Sena-

latter of which is in fact a university
affair The bill was advanced.

Madison, March 18.-The senate
passed two bills, to authorize Eau
Claire to raise the dam there, and re-
lating to county aid in building
bridges; concurred in two assembly
bills, to appropriate some $1,000 to
! persons who worked on the state cen
sus after the appropriation had run
out, and to include beans in the list
OF enumerated farm products; and
advanced a number of bills, among
them one to appropriate the usual

fund for the prevention of Asiatic
cholera and to make further provi-
sions for the interstate park of the
dells of the st. CroiX river.
The assembly passed two bills the
Stewart bill which provides for a ma
jority vote instead of a two-thirds
vote on the part of abutting property
owners for the sprinkling of streets.
The other is bill by Mr.. Ledyina,
which provides fees for county judges

tion was offered by Assemblyman
Thomas providing for adjournment

assembly was that to increase the
salary of the attorney general from
$4,000 to $4,000. Assemblyman Nc
Kenzie spoke against the measure
and Mr.. Roethe of Grant county also
offered few remarks. Mr.. Ban

Madison, March 15-The senate
killed two bills obnoxious to Milwau-
kee newspaper publishers. Both re-
lated to official advertising in that
city. The committee on education
reported in favor of the passing of
new bill permitting a county to es-
tablich eight instead Of four agricul-
tural schools and it also faVors an APP
rropriation of $4,000 for a normal
school at La Crosse. Among the
for better sanitary conditions in candy
factories and bakeries and Senator
Owens relative to the care of country
roads.
In the assembly Mr. Roycraft pre-
scented a petition from the citizens of
Stanley urging the Chippewa mem
bers to vote for J. o. Davidson for
senator.
One of the bills concurred in, the
one relating to the capitol and
grounds was the most important. The
debate on this bill a few days ago
was rather fierce, but it seems that
the whole matter was thoroughly
tnreshed out at that time, since the
bill was concurred in without any re
marks. The committee on election
recommended the Miller bill to limit
election expenses. The Thompson
bill prescribing an eight-hour da.~ n
dangerous occupations was reported
for indefinite postponement. Uni
versity appropriations received some
attention from the members of the
assembly, and Assemblyman Ban
croft indicated that there was some
thing more to come when the main
appropriation bills come up for dis
cussion. He objected to the en-
grossment of the Schauer bill calling
for an appropriation of 81 900 to the
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
association. The attack was an
swered by Assemblyman Schauer,
Elver, Ainsworth and McGregor.
These pointed out that Mr.. Bancroft
had made a superficial investigation
of the bill, or he would easily have
discovered that the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural Experiment association had
been COMPOUNDED with the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment station, the

WISCONSIN LAW MAKERS

Madison. March 13.-The senate
passed the bill introduced by the COM
mittee on agriculture, forbidding the
state veterinarian to be interested di-
rectly or indirectly in any patent or
proprietary medicine concern. Action
was taken on a vote of % to II, after
a debate in which Senators Page,
Fairchild, Pearson, Husting, Bishop
and " ilcox participated Senators
Pearson and Bishop, other members
OF the committee, Explained that in
the bearings on the question of the
confirmation Of the executive appoint
ment of DR.. David Roberts of Wau-
kesha as state veterinarian, facts
were disclosed which seemed to make
it desirable that law should be en-
acted to forbid the state veterinarian
from being a stockholder or other
wise interested in a patent medicine
enterprise.
Due largely to effective speeches
by Assemblymen Pliny Norcross and
Levi H. Bancroft, the capitol bill was
advanced to a third reading in the
assembly by practically a unanimous
vote. The bill as it came from the
senate provides that the water, light,
power and heating plant shall be a
separate from the capitol and sta
toned on a spur of the railroads, and
that the capitol be built of granite
or marble or both. Mr.. Bancroft,
who is a member of the capitol com
mission. laid before the assembly
the extreme need of action on the
propositions submitted at an early
date. He pointed out that already
the work had been considerably de-
layed and that action on the heating
plant and the marble and granite pro-
rrc5slcs1n must be taken in order to
continue the erection of the west
wing. He also called attention to
the fact that over $4,000 in certified
checks had been in the hands OF the
capitol commission received from
various competitors and that it was
an injustice to tie up their money any
longer. Several in fact were plan
ming on Withdrawing their checks
SUDL. w udNCh q dOIlOA wac IOrNSh
on the senate bill the item of ex-
pense still remained subject to linn
itation on the part of the legislature.
AsSemblyman NorcrCss finally
came TO the rescue with a short, in
cisive statement of the propositions
involved in the bill, laying bare the
simplicity of those propositions and
urging the members that as business
men they would not hesitate an hour
TO decide upon their course. As mem
bers of the legislature transacting
the business of the state they ought
to show no more reluctance than
they do in private matters. The
only proposition to which the bill
commits the legislature is a separate
heating plant, and the construction
of the supersuuctures of granite or
marble motion to POSTPONED ac-
ton until Friday was put and lost.
The bill was then ordered to a third
reading without a dissenting vote.
The bill to appropriate ABOUT $1,000
to ]. L. O'Connor fer legal services IN
connection with the life insurance in
vestigation came up for passage.

Sunday Closing at Dubuque Now
Seems Almost Certain.
Dubuque. March -Saloonkeepers
of the north end almost to a man
seem to favor the Sunday closing plan
and say they will sign the agreement
as soon as it is presented to them for
consideration. This is especially
true Of those belonging to the union.
They, however, expect some cOnces-
sion on their part. that they will be
allowed to keep open later on week
day nights-tiil 1870 or y o'clock
lit is known that local brewing con-
Germs are favorable to the Sunday
closing plan, anything rather than see
a rigid enforcement of the mulct law
which would necessarily put num-
Der of saloons out of business. That
the enforcement Of the mulct law
would put many saloons out Of bust
ness is shown by the fact that many
saloons are in easements or III the
rear of buildings where compliance
with the mulct law is a physical i'm
possibility, that many more are too
close to schools or churches that
they have more than one room and
that most places have side doors
and back doors.
There seems little doubt now that
the agreement will be affective on
Sunday, April Z, and that any one who
desires to do any drinking on Sun
day after that will have to purchase
supplies beforehand or go some place
else to get them on Sunday.
