The house made Il record on the
lest day "t the session, it having pass
ed nearly a hundred bills. After a
final agreement was reached today,
nearly all the members left for their
homes. Pierre tonight presents a far
different scene than it did twenty
four hours ago.
The fight over the appropriation
for the immigration bill was one of
the most bitter that has ever been
waged over such a matter. The house
steadily refused to consider the sem
ate's proposition to set aside $4,000
for the carrying out Of the provisions
of the bill.
Governor Vcssey. after it was evil
dent that neither side inclined to give
or take, was asked to do what he
could t. break the deadlock, but his
he refused to do unless each body
would be willing to stand by the Joint
committee.
One OF the two administration
measures which cscaped the AK at the
hands Of the legislators. was that pro-
viding for the establishment of an eX-
pcutive accounting department. The
institutions Of the state handle mill

rate check nm this eypenditure Of

calling for the publication Of insur-
anCe statements. The statements are
to be of uniform length and to appear
in each official paper before the first
of May. n strong light was made 10
gether.
The measure which provided that
% percent of the voters could demand
a vote of the people on the recall of
any state official and that a twO-thirds
vote of the voters would be sufficient
for expulsion, was killed in the house,
lacking two votes of enough To- carry.
