STRENGTHENING Matters Ont.
(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Jan 10.-(Special.)-The morn
ing session of the senate was taken up
largely in unraveling tangles into which
the senators wound themselves in two mat
ters. When the journal was read King OF
Polk called attention to the resolution Of
fered the day before by Thomas OF Doug
las providing all citations In bills should be
to the Cobbey statutes. The resolution EN-
powered the secretary to change the cita-
tons where the compiled statutes had been
referred to. Senator King said he thought
any change made by the secretary or his
force would invaldate the bill, and under
the proper head he moved TO reconsider the
Thomas resolution. The motion carried
and Thomas then offered to strike out the
Objectionable passage. McKesson of Lam
caster thought both statutes should be re-
ferfed to and offered an amendment to
that effect. and Epperson moved a substl-
tute to allow the committees to change the
citations. King called attention to the
fact the matter was covered by rule and
he thought II should be referred to the
rules committee. The subject was becom-
Ing complicated, and Wilson of Pawnee
came to the rescue with a motion to lay
the whole matter on the table, which was
carried.
The second ENHANCEMENT came about
through a confusion of two requests from
the house, one for a Joint committee to
consider the printing of the messages OF
the outgoing and the incoming governors,
and the other for a joint committse to
take up Senator Thomas proposal to print
the Journal daily. Both requests were
complied with.
The disposition Of a number OF the sem
ators to economize was brought out BY
resolution offered by Aldrich of Butler
directing the committee on public lands
and buildings and the other committees
having to do with state institutions to
make their visits to these institutions
within the next ten days. He explained
his purpose was to have all OF the jun
keting trips over with by the time the
| busy part OF the session was reached.
/ King of Polk asked the resolution go
over one day. He said he was in doubt
! as to the advisability of sending all CT the
| committees around to the public buildings
| at the expense of the stats when the
work might all be done by joint COM
| mittee of both houses at a much smaller
expense. Sackett of Gage also spoke in
i favor of a Joint committee At the re-
! quest of Senator King the resolution went
over day
A large part of the afternoon session was
taken UP considering the question of adj

ton, free pass legislation and one covering

first and Aldrich moved to refer 1t to the
committee on standing committees. The
