Senate Opposes New House Rule.


The attempt of assembly lex
pediters Of business" to push through
new rule which will operate
to choke off the introduction of new
b1lls by committees after the rule re-
lat1ng to individual members goes in
to erect, Is now likely to meet siren
ucus opposition. The rule went
through the lower house without a
dlssenung voice, but in the senate 1t
mas oeen laid over and probably will
DC oe1eated. 1t is doubtful If a ma
Jorlty OF the assembly fully realizes
the erect Of the proposed rule, or it
Woulo not have had such easy sailing
there. The regulation places in the
committee on legislative procedure, Of
Wnlch Speaker Ingram is chairman,
the power to permit or refuse to per-
nit the introduction of any new meas
ure after next Tuesday, unless the
mouse by a two-thirds vote suspends
the rules, which is 1nfrequently done.
A resolution by Assemblyman Plow-
man, for the appointment of a Joint
committee to receive bids for the pur-
chase of the present state fair
grounds in Milwaukee, and to secure
options on desirable sites in other
parts OF the state marks a renewal of
the fight to get the big agricultural
show away from the states metropo-
lis. The fight will not be successful
at this session, but the supporters of
the plan believe they eventually will
accomplish their purpose by these
educational" measures.

New Bills in Senate.

New Bills in Senate.
Among the bills introduced were
these:
GaylOrd-Making newspapers public
utilities. True-Relating to weights
and measures; this is like the federal
will be automobile day" Twenty
thousand dollars will be offered in
purses for harness races.
When the informal ballot for presi-
dent of the board had been taken the
result was announced as follows:
Hill, Z; Fisher, 8; Nelson, 1; McKer-
row, 2. Arthur w. Prehn, one of the
newly appointed members, moved
that the informal ballot be declared
formal, but Mr.. Hill objecting, for
NAL ballot was taken which resulted
as follows: Hill, 8; Fisher, 3; McKer-
row, 1; Nelson, 1.
The informal ballot for secretary
resulted as follows Packard, 8; Row
lands, 2; Mackenzie, 2; Roessler, q.

Up to the twelfth formal ballot the
votes were we'll scattered, James Mac
Kenzie of Madison leading with 6,
while r. w. Rowlands had 5, and B.
G. Packard of Chippewa Falls 2.
While at first glance it seems but
an even break, careful analysis of
the situation goes further than that
G. L. Hill, the new president, while
he usually voted with the old man
agement, has been looked upon as a
fair man with clear sense of what
was right and desire to do things in
a businesslike way. The election of
R. w. Rowlands of Genesee as secre-
tary was a victory for former Presi-
dent McKerrow, who engineered the
deal which landed Mr. Rowlands in
the Office of secretary.

Senator Gaylord has been working

senate which provides for the publ
cation of the names of the stockhold-

Retailers Are Sad Men!

The retailers-and not the
trusts, nor the tariff, are re-
sponsible for the ever-increas-
cost of living in the United

official statements as to the
work of the tariff board are to
be believed, this is the kind of
report that is TO emanate from
that body. Up with the tariff

accompanied by eight Indians
aud four wagons aud all the
men rode horses: There was
no SHOW when they left the
fort, but after being out some
little time a five days blizzard
began. They were Obliged to
form into a circle like corral
and if it had not been for the
Indians experience on h e
plains the result of the storm
might have been disastrous to
the soldiers. However, on the
trip they killed eighty five buf
falo and in the spring, on the
return of the regiment to Wis
consiu, the men took with them
seventeen buffalo calves captur.
ed during the winter in Dako

near Columbia, along the Jam es

A MUcH.rRAvELED GOAT.
BY A. w. MACY.

About the year 1772 there died
at Mile End, England, a well in
formed goat, if travelling and
seeing the world would make it
SO. 1t twice circumnavisated
the globe; first in the discovery
ship Dolphin, with Captain Wal
lis, and afterward in the ship
Endsavorer, commanded by the
celebrated Captain Cock. The
Dolphin sailed from England
August 90, 1875, and returned
MAY 20, t7eo. 1t visited many
'ansis, Including numerous is.
Iaids Of the Pacific, on this voy-
age. The goat did not remain
ashore very long, for the Ell.
desvorer sailed from Plymouth
August rs, 1868. The vessc!
touched at MADEIRA, doubled
Cape Horn, spent six months
along the coast of New Zealand,
and visited many other strange
countries. 1t got back to Eng
land June IL, f771. In the three
years Cook lost thirty Of his
eighty-five men, but the goat
returned in apparent good
health. Arrangements were
made to admit her to the priv.
iIeges Of one Of the govern
ment homes for sailors, but she
did not live to enjoy them. She
wore silver collar, with a Lat.

Reflects Ultraviolet

Prof. ]. Won Kowalski, in a letter
to Nature Iondon), describes his OBJ.
servations of the spectra of sunlight
reflected by snowields in Switzerland.
He finds that the ultraviolet rays are
reflected by snow almost In their en-
tirety. This fact helps to explain the
trying effects Of such light upon the
eyes. and suggests the advisability Of
wearing. during a period Of snow and
sunshine. glasses that are opaque to
the ultraviolet rays.

z Complaint is heard of the non- police protection of certain sections of the city, simply because some of the mem bers of the regular police force are fncapacitated from duty by reason of sickness, especially as there is more than one supernumerary for every reg ular member of the force. The people pay for police protection and residents in the neglected sections are nerving the police authorities why the super numeraries are not assigned to Cuty until the regulars are ready to return. An excuse is offered that the appro- pT-fatfon for police is not ample to pay the regular salaries should a portion of it be paid to the supers- It is there fore understood that policemen are un- der pay when absent on account of sickness, which is perhaps all right so far as it goes, but should not carry with it the withdrawal of police protec- tion. The appropriation was made for the required police protection, and if no appropriation is made for meeting cases of sickness the regular appro- priation should not be weakened on that account. Better have d deficit t the end of the year, or, better yet, get a special appropriation and give to the people the protection to which they are entitled.
 Such a condition probably does not exist anywhere else and it is time correction was made in New London. Therefore there is reason for com plaint, and in the meantime 1t would be well for the police committee, who improperly assume the direct manage ment of the police force. to get busy and call some of the supernumeraries to duty.

The New London Industrial company, owner of the building occupied by the Copper and Brass Tube company, and composed of a large number of stock holders who subscribed in response to appeals of a committee of the court of common council, at the suggestion of Benjamin l.. Armstrong, when he was New LondonS business mayor. The investment has proven successful and the stock has earned a per cent. dividend, although no profit was ex- pected by the investors for some time, the investment being made for the purpose of securing a thriving indus try. The company is permanently or ganized with MT. Armstrong as pres ident, and a proposition to erect an- other building for industrial purposes is to receive consideration by the com pany. It is said that some of the stockholders are opposed to this meas ure as they do not care to, or are not able to take any more stock. These claim that the purpose of the company has been accomplished and that they are content to hold what they have without adding thereto. Just how many of this class of enterprising citt- zens there are in the company can only be determined when the proposition is put to the test. Some time ago it was semi officially announced that the company had gone it's full limit, and that as company could not raise funds sufficient, as at present organiz- ed to erect another industrial build ing.
 Former Mayor Armstrong first se- cured the industry and then paved the way for the industrial building, one that was adapted for the proposed oc- cupancy But for this action New London would not have this successful manufacturing concern that is sure to increase in importance. Therefore there is incentive for another build ing and if it is more than the present company cares to assume, a public statement to that effect would result in the formation of similar company and the erection of a home for a con cern that would add materially to the progress of the city.

There are places in this city where young men and boys resort that are fully as dangerous as the saloons, which seem to be overlooked by the local and state police. and even by the energetic committee of fifteen of the Mems and Mothers club and kin dred reformatory organizations. Refer ence is made to the petty gambling places that are opened fruit stores, pool rooms and the like. but which are in reality the junior department of the gambling places where the stakes are larger. This petty gambling is places, and is with dice and gambling ping stone to the gaming tables. Aside from the evil results of the boys who get rid of their pennies and nickels, this open gambling has demoraliz- ing influence that should be nipped be- fore it blooms into a public disgrace upon the city as whole. There is said to Toe a place for everything and that everything should be in it's place. If that be so, the show windows and front part of stores should not be the place for gambling, and such places should not be permitted to harbor boys still in their teens and some of them in knee brooches.
 It does not augur well for a city to compel all people passing through some of the principal streets to be forced to witness small boys shaking dice in some particular game, guided by the bearded proprietors who reap the pecuniary benefit If this gam bling is to continue, some one in au- thorfty should make a police request
