The Nev street-railroad bill passed the House yesterday without difficulty, and now goes to the Governor, but the threecent fare bill last night lacked tour votes cf a constitutional majority and will have to bo called up again for passage. The Fecklnpaugh building and loan bill. which had passed the J louse, w as passed by the Senate after being amended to as to conform with the Senate bill already passtd. If the House dots i)t concur a eon. fcrence committee will arrange the differences. The labor arbitration Mil which passed the House a couple of wecka ago was called up and passed by the Senate. It provider for the appointment of two la bor commissioners, who. acting with the circuit judges of the county where the dis pute arises, may act as a board of arbitration In labor disput?s if both parties will submit the matter to them. Once It Is submitted their ruling will have all the force of judicial decision. The St nata also passed the. anti-cigarette bill which had passed the House. As amended by the Senate the bill prohibits the sale of cigarettes to miners under twenty-one years and says nothing about other forms of tobacco. By a narrov.' vote Senator Hawkins's bill permitting railroad companies to lease their property and franchises passed the Senate. The Senate also passed the House bids pro vlding for the release of mortgages and to prevent taking "provoke cases out of the township where they originated. In the afternoon the Senate passed the general pharmacy bill, thus finally enacting Into law. It provides for the licensing of all druggists and clerks and establishes a State board of pharmacy. It also knocked out all the amendments to the Walr special verdict bill that It spent two days In making last week, and passed the bill as it came from the Hovse. It In part repeals the special verdict law of 1S,3, which has proven obnoxious. It defeated the House bill to revive the law giving city oflieers terms of two Instead of four years, and the House bill permitting town trustees to levy a tax of C0 cents on the hundred dollars to purchase or construct water works plants. It also passed the following minor House bills: Mr. Mankenship's bill re-gulatlng capiases issued by Justices of the peace; Mr. Harlow's bill changing the time of paying taxes to the first Mondays of May and November, and Mr. Barlow's bill amending the drainage law. The night session of the Senate was occupied In passing local bills. The only temperance measure that Is likely to get through this ss?ion. the Nicholson bill to abolish "quart shops," p;issed the House by an overwhelming majority yesterday morning. There was a long argument on the bill, but only two spoukers against it. The- general medical bill, regulating the practice of medicine, also passed by a heavy vote, with no speoeh-making against It. The Jones colored school bill, having been amended so that It will not abolish colored schools; was passed. The following minor bills passed the House: Sonator Hogate's bill for tho licensing of mine bosses, hoisters and engineers. Senator Horner's bill ilxlng Jan. 1 as the tlm1 for county treasurers to tako their office. The meusuro prepared by the State Swine llreeders Association for the prevention of hog cholera, requiring a rigid system of disinfection of cars and stockyards. The House bill enabling the city of Hammond to condemn land lor rarbor purposes and to Issue bonds to supplement the work of the government in converting Wolf lake into a, harbor. The substitute Senate bill of McCord in the interest of miners, requiring mine bosses to investigate all cases of accident and to give notice of bad air or other dangerous conditions in a mine. Mr. Thornton's House bill providing that th wolghmasters shall give bonds and regulating their duties. Senator Watson's tax bill, requiring auditors to report at the September term the amount allowed, for poor relief for each township, and the township trustee to levy a tax to reimburse the county. A bill raising the tax levy for the State school fund, and another giving tho County Commissioners of Allen county a lionua i o fiicr icir superinienuxng tno eon-J struetioii or tno courthouse, in addition to their regular salaries, slipped through tho House without half a dozen members knowing what they were voting on. Tho House last night passed a compulsory educational bill under suspension of the rulos and without discussion. The bill boars the name of Mr. Monyhan. but was prepared by the committee on education and substituted for tho Monyhan bill. It provides for twelve weeks or schooling: each year for children from eight to four teen years oiu. Th ting machine received official recognition last night when the House passed by a heavy vote tho O'Bauuon bill, permitting election commissioners to use the ma chines at their discretions In the various counties. I'ASSUD TIIC a EX ATE. .N amber ot Minor Measure Enacted II. an el L. Men a a re. There was a rush and a go about the Senate yesterday that enabled that body to accomplish a whole lot of Important legislation. At the beginning of the morning session Senator Ia Follette. chairman of tho building and loan association committee, made a report on tho Fecklnpaugh bill. No. Tj2. Tho report of the committee showed that tho House bill had been amended to conform with the McCord bill passed the day before. On motion of Senator La Follette the' bill was passed under a suspension of the rules, and was sent to tho House for concurrence in the Senate amendments. If the House refuses to concur, which is now regarded as unlikely, a conference will be arranged. The Journal yesterday published the McCord bill In full. After this find the railroad leaso bill had been disposed of yesterday morning the call of Houso bills on third reading was icKumed. No. 230 (Mr. Marsh), appropriating 1.S'j7.20 to pay the claim of William H. Fetors for certain sidewalks, was called up by Senator Karly and was passed. A bill relative to the venue of provoke cases, No. (Mr. Smith of Allen) was called up by Senator KUison, who e xplained that ttu bill provide il that provoke casts should bo tried in the township in wh'cii the e)ffenso was committed, or in which the defendant lived. It passed. Mr. Cabcock's bill. No. 2;57. relative to tho release of mortgages, was next called up. Sector Gilbert said it was intended to make uniform throughout the State the rehaslng of mortgages and provided that the county recorder should atttst the signatures of the mortgagees when the instrument is released. Reynolds's anti-cigarette bill was called up by Senator Gill. It was read the third time with the Senate amendments and then passed. S. r.ator Humphie-ys e-alled up the Kooso lauor arbitration till. Its consldera Hon was interrupted by the noon adjourn mint. A number of bills were special order for tho afternoon. Senator Nubaum's bill. No. regulating and prescribing the manner under which medicines and drugs may be sold, was the first on the list, lie was ab sent. Senator Wood moved that It b made special ordtr for a time when he could be redeat- 4 a aubUtuLe Senator Uubboll

moved to Indefinitely postpone the bill.

There was seme objection to this. Senator Drummond s.Jd that it was hardly courteous to a senator to kill his bill in his absence. Senator Hubbell replied that the bill had bom made special order several days ago and its author ought to be on hand. He was opposed to h iving the time of the henate consumed by further delay. The substitute carried and the bid was postponed. House bills on third reading were again taken up. No. 43. by Mr. Blankenship. defining the Jurisdiction of justices of the peace, and providing that the plaintiff shall give a bond in capias proo-edings, was called up by Senator Gochenour and parsed. H. B. 2Cj was then called up by Senator Goodwinc. It was defeated by a vote of ID to 21. Senator Wood moveci to reconsider. He said that he did not think the provisions of the bill were understood. Senator Bobllya moved to table. Senator Wood demanded the ayes and noes on the motion to table. The. motion to table prevailed. The bill provides that incorporated towns may bvy a special tax for the purpose of furnishing water to such towns or for the purchase of water plants. House Bill oil. by Mr. Hart, was special order for o'clock. It is the bill lixing tho terms of city officers. Senator Newby was on his feet ready to offer an amendment providing that the elections should bo held every two years instead of annually, but before he could Ik- recognized Senator Shively move-d to indefinitely postpone the bill. The eiucstlon is not debatable. Lieutenant Governor Haggard was disposed to allow Senator Newby to be heard, ami said that he had not recrgnizeel Se nator Shively. The latter appealed to senators sitting ilout him, who Indorsed his statement that he had been recognized. As he had the Moor he insisted on the question being; put. Tho bill was postponed. PHARMACY BILL PASSED. The general pharmacy bill, No. 230, lntroduceel in the House by Mr. Littleton, was called up by Senator Hawkins. An amendment was offered by Senator Hogatc providing that persons who have heretofore been engaged in the business of compounding prescriptions for a ieriod of at least one year, but who have retired temporarily from that business, and who wish to again engage In that business, should not be prohibited from so doing. Senator Hawkins said that the only objection he had to the amendment was that the bili would have to go back to the House, and there was danger of It failing to pass again on account of the brief time remaining. The amendment was lost. Senator Shea offered an amendment which was also voted down. Its purpose was to permit persons already acting as pharmacists to b- examined for licenses to practice their profession. It was regarded as an unnecessary provision. The bill passed by a vote ot 20 to 12. House Bill 5m), Mr. Barlow, amending the tax law so as to provide that taxes shall be paid on tho first Monday of May and the first Monday of November was called up by Senator Hogate. It passed. Another bill by Mr. Barlow, No. was called up by Senator Holler. It is a bill amending the law providing for the tiling of public drains. It was also passed. Mr. Kayser's bill providing who may solemnize marriages was called up by Senator ixorner. u gives the right to ail ministers, priests, judges of courts of record, justice s of the peace, mayors tf cities and to the Friends' and German Baptist churches according to their rites. The bill is in the nature of a legalizing act. It confers the power to solemnize marriages upon mayors. This is the only respect in which It is different from the present law. It has been the custom of mayors to perform the marriage ceremony. QVART-SIIOl" DILL. House I'KMses the ZVIeholson Jleuaure ly iv Henvy Majority. The Houso passed the Nicholson antl-quart-hop bill yesterday morning by an overwhelming majority. When the name of Mr. Hart was reached in the roll call now in progress he called up this bill, which has had such a hard time getting out of committee and through the second reading stage. Mr. Nicholson spoke brleily for the bill. He declared that It was not a radical measure, but was a bill asked for by the citizens of tho 'tate, including the saloon keepers, and Its only purpose was to wipo out a class of low doggeries that were vicious in their Influence. Mr. Hicks spoke very briefly against the bill, declaring that it would result In prohibition, and he was against prohibition. Mr. Wllloughby argued more at length against the bill. He declared that just as the Nicholson bill had resulted in the rise of tho eiuart shop this measure would give rise to even a worse class of liquor-selling places, known In Kansas as "hot-tea Joints." Tho real the ory or the opponents of the bill is that the quart shop is so much worse than the saloon that tho people of a community, after once remonstrating saloons out of ex istence and enduring quart shops for a year, will permit tho saloons to come back. Mr. Halily spoko for tho bill, declaring that the people of his county suffered much from the quart shop. Mr. East spoke against It on the ground that It would prevent the conduct of the wholesale liquor business, neglecting to mention the fact that the bill had been so amended as to prevent this. Mr. Shldeler spoke for the bill. Mr. Jones spoKe against it ana aiterwards voteel for It. Messrs. Berry, Hart and Butler spoke in favor of the bill and a roll call was taken, passing the measure by the heavy vote of 4 to ltt. Ther we re 42 Republican and 22 Democratic votes for tho bill. There were eight of each patty against it- The roll e-ali was as follows: Ayes Archibald, Babcock, Barlow, Blank enship, Brown, Butler, Canada, Clauser, Cockrum, rJast.

The Walr bill repealing the special verdict law was special order for 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A few days ago the Senate adopted a number of amendments proposed by the Judiciary committee. As amended the bill was spoken of as a compromise measure. Senators who have stood out for a simple repealing act were unsatisfied with It. claiming that It was no better than the law now on tho statute books with tho amendments lncoriorated. Besides It was said that there was imminent danger that the Houso would not concur In the Senate amendments. When the bill came up yesterday Senator Ilugg moved that It be recommitted to a committee of one with instructions to strike out all the Senate-amendments. This-would leave the bill in its original form. Senator Ellison was opposed to this motion and arose to a point of order. He said that the Senate hud already acted on the subj;ct matter of Senator Hugg's proposed amendment. Senator Ilugg asked to be heard. He said that the point of order was not well taken. The Senate in its all-day discussion of the bill had only considered Senator Shively'a amendment adding three wordT. Senator Ellison replied that he thought that the proposition could only be reached by a motion to reconsider, as the Senate had discussed and voted on the subject matter of the amendment. His point of oreter was not sustalneei. , The wiiole subject or thd special verdict law was discussed again at length. Senator ilugg said that he had but little to say in addition to tne objections he had ottere-d to the amended bill last week. Ho still thought that in its amended torm it was as objectionable as the present law Senator Hugg had something te say with reference to the attitude or tho Jndian anoiis Bar Association on the subject and as a part of tils argument read a resolution adopted at a meeting held Monday, when an additional committee was appointed to urge its repeal. Tiie resolution wa-s signed by ex-Jude Ayers. R. W. McBridc, Daniel W. Howe, Attorney General . A. Met cham and a Jong list of others. Beside this he had a statement signed by the judges of three Superior ana the Curcuit Courts, denying that lly had ever said that they did not think that the law should be repealed. In conclusion he said: "I hoin; that the motiem to recommit the bill for amendment will prevail. Senator Hawkins tx.k the floor to say In reply that tiie loiter of the Judge insinu ated that sonxo ona had said on the floor of

the Senate that they had expressed the opinion the law ought not to be repeated. So far as he wa3 concerned he had neve r rr.aue such a statement. What he did say was that he had consulted with the nisi prius judges as to the "ope ration" of the law. They had expressed the opinion that It was a air law in ts operation and not calculated to defeat' the ends of justice or prejudice the rights of the parties. He had never said that the judges expressed the opinion that the law ought r.td to be repealed. That was not tne burden of his argument wnen he discussed the workings of the bill. Senator Shively said that the amendment should prevail and the Walr bill be passed or voted down. "1 am In favor of the amendment," he declared. Senator Newby said with reference to the action eif the bar association: "There are many excellent gentlemen belonging to the bar association, but I am glatl to say that it eloes not represent the bar of the State. The Hamilton County Bar Association had a pretend'-d meeting and adopted resolutions for the repeal of the law. Hamilton county representatives received letters from five of the prominent members of that bar saying tint tne alleged resolution of the association did not express their sentiments." Senator Newby spoke on the operation cf the old narrative style of verdict as contrasted with the present law. He regarded the Waii bill as amended by the Senate as a mien between the defects of each and he hoped that the motion to recommit would not prevail. Senator Alexander t-poko in favor of tho Ilugg amendment. Senator Wood said it was well known that the amended bill was a compromise measure. He had signed the report of the judiciary committee because he had found that there were attorneys who were opposed to tho repeal of the old law as proposed in a bill he had himself introduced without providing something in its stead. Senator Shea, said that he was opposed to any form of special verdict. He was in favor of the passage of the Walr bill as it came from the House. Senator Bobllya was opposed to the proposed amendment. Senator Hubbell discussed the nuestion

of tho right of trial by jury. The special venlict law simply provided that tho inrv should find everv matprml facf hv ' ing interrogatories. "In the name of Justice and humanitv." he asked, "where had thete been any oppression under the special verdict law? I want to say that If you are seeking a mode of practice that will secure iusrieo with favor to none, then accept tho compromise bill that lias been agreed upon." senator Sweeney said that it was a sur prise to him as a representative of tho southern part of tho State to learn that niiu tia nu ueuwi'u in me norm ior a repeal of the law. He had tho misfortune to have introduced the Fpecial verdict law two years ago. Since then he had heurd noining out demands that the law should be repealed. He wanted to vote in favor or tne common people of Indiana and of nine 01 every te n lawyers of the State who were not employed by corporations, who were in xavor or its repeal. He was hearti ly in iavor ot the original Walr bill and hoped that Senator Jlugg's motion would prevail. Senator Hogate closed tho argument. He ueciared mat ne was opposed to any form oi .special verdicts. to IS In accordance with a parliamentary custom, and In order to nrevent th Mil v coming up again, senator Glibert moved to recon.-iuer tne vote by which it was passed He had one of the senators readv to mnvo to table. This action was forestalled by Senator Humphreys, who put it. The motion to reconsider was tabled. The Wair bill, as It passed tho. Rennt provides: "That in all actions hereinafter meu oy lury. tne iurv snail fonder n oral verdict, but In all cases, where request- . u eiiuer puny, tne court shall instruct the only forms of verdict submitted to. or rendered by the iurv In the e.niBA ed. The provisions in this section shall not apply in cases in equity. These interroga tes are to ne recorded with tho verdict. See. 2. That an act entitled 'An act to amend Section 2s) of an act concerning conflict with the provisions nf r-h i e this act bo and th same are hereby reRAILROAD LEASES. Bill Passes the Senate by n 1rrn : Majority; '-'" ' ww,i,..iu,u running ana loan n.sseciHuon niu was disposed or the Sen- . m.I it. rti . - I ate proceeded to consider a bill introduced by Senator Gostlln. by request of Senator Hawkins, authorizing any railtood com pany to lease or sell and convey Its prop erty and franchises to any other railroad. whether organized within or without the State, which was 'special order at 10:30 o'clock. Thero was considerable opposition to the bill. Senator Ellison said that it was a bill to glvo railroads additional power that has so far not been regarded as necessary In this State, It was a bill that would harm the city of Logansport, as It would permit a combination being made whereby one of two competing roads would switch off and go by another route. Senator Nusbaum said that would not only harm the people of Logansport, but also of ull peoplo living along the line. In reply to Senators Ellison and Nus baum Senator Bobllya denied that It would work any injury and urged the passage of the bill. Senator Shea said that every safeguard had been thrown about the bill for the protection of stockholders, and it would prove an advantage to some towns now ueniea good railroad facilities. oeuaior JioKiue reKarueei tne run a a n u . . . -. dangerous measure, as it would permit the uiter wiping out ot a company and was not a question ot the rights of stockholders He admitted their rlgnts were protected The bill puts it in power of foreign cor porations, upon consent of two-thirds of the stockholders, to take control of a railroad. He said that thre wa-s no power vesica in any raiiroao. or other corpora tions to sell franchises, as It was consid ered ultra vireo by the Supreme Court and against public policy. Senator Drummond said that a railroad naa no powers not given it by the State, The passage of the bill meant the destruc tion of the principle that tho State Ehall Keep control over its corporations. Senator Hawkins said that the proposltion here was to pass a law granting railroads certain powers, a right the State had to exercise. As to the Loeansnort rse h said tho Eel River road could not be affected, as it Was a competing line and alo in litigation, either of which reasons would leave It out of the bill. He denied that the bill was In contravention of the interstate-commerce law. He said that the bill was not dangerous and ought to pass. Senator Ball opposed tho bill. Senator Alexander spoke In Its favor, There was. a stormy scene Just before 1 the roll was called. Senator Sweeney Was on ins leet asKing recognition. Senator Haw kins was recognized by tho lieutenant governor, who announced that as author of tho bill he would have thu right to close the debate. Senator Sweeney would not be seated and inslstcel that tho chair had no right to ciose me acuato fo arbitrarily. Senator iiawKins ciui not insist on speaking and took his seat. Roll Clerk Deem w ist in structed to call the roll, although Senator Sweeney was still addressing the chair in an attempt to get recognition. l.ienton. ant Governor Haggard was pounding his gavel and Senator Sweeney was shouting .ait. i-rosident: .Mr. President!" And the roll call proceeded in a gfcat deal of confusion. "By what rule docs th chair deny mo my rights V" shouted tho senator. u me iuie wnicn manes it necessary i ma ot-iiaii- io ei' Mjins; business "The chair is getting ivory arbitrary In nis attempts to eio nusiness." responded Senator Sweeney in hot sarcasm.

rise and report progress, thus cutting the matter off. Mr. Roots pleaded against this ami Mr. Miller supported him. He declared that Mr. Roots was entitled to great credit because he had never bothered the insurance committee, but had worked the whole business out himself. "Anel now. for God's sake, men." he cried, "give him a chance to

get them in." Mr. Kast spoke seriously for the bills and Mr. Randolph against this method of putting them through. Therewas disorder and cries or ejuestion: cUtstlon!" It was put on a division vote and carrieei by a vote of 0 to 22. Thus died the substitute Insurance bills. Mr. Roots's assessment insurance bill. No. u2'.'. came up as a special oreler in the House upon second reading. He spoke briefly ror it. but was Interrupted by Mr. Blankenship. who wanted to know how it diff red from the "much decapitated" bills. Mr. Roots was angry for the first time during the session. He replied that a man who elid not know the difference between "decapkized" and "decapitated" could not understand an explanation of the bill. Smith of Alien, who has been Mr. Roots s Nemesis, was ready with his ax. and sent up the usual motion to strike out the enacting clause. He spoke against the bill, and Messrs. Kichhoru anel Last defended It. Mr. McCnrt spoke fer the motion to kill, as did Mr. Roose. .Mr. Miller sjoke for the bill and Mr. Marsh against it. Mr. Hoots talked vehemently lor the bill. He told Smith of Allen that he had not enough ability to make a bill, only to decapitate them. He moved to table Mr. Smith's motion to decapitate, and It was carried. It was so amended as to exclude fraternal societies from Its operations. Mr. Roose edfered an amendment changing "total disability" to "partial disability." and it was accepted. Mr. Packard moved to striKe out the provision In Section 7 against permitting contracts promising cash payments to living policy holders, except in cases of disability, and this was tabled. The bill was then engrossed, unharmed.. A little later In the afternoon the Sutton bill came up on two reiorts from the judiciary committee, each signed by live members, one against the bill and the other for it. This is the. bill abolishing the "board plan." Mr. Suttcn spoke for the bill and Mr. Wllloughby against it. Mr. Lambert displayed a bunch of telegrams against the bin ana .Mr. Lichhorn sioite lor it. He said the i nsurance trust was worse than the Standard Oil, nnd the only reason, companies opposed the bill was because they feared It would produce such sharp compe tition that some of them would be bankrupted. Mr. Roots spoke against tho bill. Mr. Blankenship spoke for the bill and begged the House to "smash the most gigantic trust in the country." The report favoring the bill was adopted by a vote of 63 to 2J, as follows: Ayes Archibald. Barlow. Blankenship, Bowers. Brown. Butler. Canada. Clauser. Claycomb, Cockrum, Downey.

Mr. Littleton's bill to raise the salary of the clerk of the printing board to $1,500 was called up and the author spoke in favor of It. Mr. Lambert, chairman of the fees and salaries committee, also spoke for It, but It failed at first for lack of a constitutional majority.

Disposed of a Number of House Hills Those Sheep-KUllnir Does. The Senate held another night session last evening, the second that has been held so far, but it will most likely be in session every night from now until the final ad journment. A number of House bills on third reading were disposed of, some bcin; passed and others being killed outright by being indefinite!!- postponed or by falling . w 1U i i , . for want f & constltutlonal majority. Senator Duncan had a new bill which he asked to Introduce and have passed under a suspension of the rules. He explained that the present fee and salary law had been differently construed by some county clerks, who had turned all money into the county treasury instead of retaining $2 per day for the pay of deputies appointed to attend the courts. Other clerks had construed the law as permitting them to retain money to nav these deputies. The bill was ror the purpose ef authorizing a uniformity of practice In this respect. There was objec tion to the suspension of the rules and Senator Duncan withdrew his request when the retrular order was elemanded. A number of House bills on third reading were disposed of, some being passeel and others being killed outrltrht or indefinitely postponed. The first bill passeel was No. 5S1. introduced by Mr. Wllloughby, legaliz ing the Lets of county commissioners who have sold or exchanged real estate, tho nurpdse being to remove any cloud that might rest on the title to such real estate em account ot informalities in tne transactions.

Senator Schneck said that sheep-killing dogs had elone more injury to sheep than the Wilson bill, which, goodness knows. had worked far too much harm to the sheep Industry. How will this law help the Wilson bill?" askd Senator Drummond. "Well, it's too late to help that Wilson bill now. replied Senator Schneck. Thero was much laughter and applause at

this ready retort In reference to the approaching inauguration of Republicanism and the exit of Democratic free trade. He made no re-ply to a frivedous question as to whether the bill provided for a "dog killer." Some one. suggested a fool killer ought to be at work when time was being wasted. The Senate got a gcxei eleal of fun out of tiie bill. It failed for want of a constitutional majority. Another bill by Mr. Remington was then calleel up. It is a bill preventing the hauling of heavy loads over gravel roads at certain seasons of the year. Senator O'Brien opoosed a motion to indefinitely postpone, made by Senator Watson. He said that the present law only applied to roads established by order of court, while the bill was intended to apply to highways generally. Senator Watson withdrew his motion to postpone-. The bill failed to pass. A bill by Mr. Babcock. No. 2X. was called up by Senator Kerns. It provides that bases on real estate shall be recorded in the miscellaneous record. Its purpose is to establish a unitorm practice in this respect, so that any one may knov where to look for leases. It passed. Later the vote by which it was passeel was reconsidered ard the bill was recommitted to a committee of on to amend so as to cure a lecal defect.

Governor Mount signed and returned to the House yesterday afternoon what is known as the "child-labor" bill, which regulates the employment of women and children In manufacturing establishments and provides for the appointment of a factory Inspector at a salary of $1,500 a year, and for an assistant at $1,030. A great many forcible objections have been raised against tho bill since it reached the Governor s hands, not the least of which was the fact that it gave the factory inspector arbitrary power to carry out the provisions of the bill without providing for any sort of an ap peal from his decisions, a power that is not even lodged in the courts, save the court of last resort. Another valid objection was the fact that the bill provides for an inspec tor at $1,500 a year, and. although requiring him to visit all the factories of the State, there are neatly one thousand of them, no provisions are made for the payment of his expenses. Still another objection raised Is that the Governor shall, "by and with tho consent of the Senate, appoint u factory inspector," according to the wording of the bill. At the same time there is no emer gency clause, and the law cannot be enforced until lonr after the Senate has ad journed, a fact which would make It Impos sible to comply with the provisions of tho bill. Speaking of these difficulties, the Gov ernor said: "There are some excellent provisions In the bill. It seeks to prevent the employment of children in manufacturing establishments and to give better security to lives and limbs of employes. There are some objectionable features. It gives too onerous duties and too great power to the man who is to act as Inspector. There is no appeal from his decisions. Whether this law would prove efficient and wholesome. or would be discouraging to manufacturers, would depend largely ujon the kind of man selected as Inspector. A liberal-minded man. who could have proper regard to the health and limbs of employes, and at the same time a proper regard for the men who have invested their money in factories, might work a needed reform. A narrow man, dis posed to be unduly exacting, might make his office one of persecution and give se rlous interference to the manufacturing In terests or tne state. ' He also said that he doubted whether a man of sufficient ability could be employed for $1,509 a year. He spoke uf the large expense that the office would involve, and for which no provision had been maele. a fact which In Itself he believed would make the bill inoperative. ' A number of persons interested in manufacturing Industries of the State called on the Governor yesterday to urge him to veto the bill. A delegation from I vansvllle, representing woolen anel cotton manufacturers was headed by Frank H. Pose v. who ob jected seriously to the bill because it placed too mucn power in trie nands or one man, tho inspector, whoso decision Is to be final and not to be appealed from. He suggested mat tne woric tne inspector was to do could more properly be performed by local Inspec tors to be appointed by the courts or munic ipal authorities. The bill was published in full In the Journal at the time of its passge by the Senate. it provides mat no woman under eighteen years of age and no person under sixteen shall be permitted to work more than sixty hours In one week, that no child under fourteen shall be employed at nil, and that no children under sixteen shall he cmnlnvwi without the consent of parent or guardian. COLORED SCHOOLS. Jonea Dill Passes the House in Amended Shape. The Jones colored school bill, which caused so much excitement in the House a couple of weeks ago, was called up on third reading by its author in the House yesterday. As the bill came out of the long struggle to amend it, it does not abolish colored schools, but provides that colored children shall not bo sent past a school within their district to one outside of it to go to school, and prevents the hardship Home colored children have had to undergo in attending school away In another section of tho city. A minor amendment by Mr. Hedgecock. Inserting a clause applying to school commissioners, had through some error not been engrossed in the bill, and he asked what proe edure was necessary to cor rect tne mistake. J no speaker said it would have to be referred to the committee on engrossed bills to have the amendment properly engrossed .in the bill. Mr. Jones objected to this, and said that he vould rather have the bill p.s It stood th; n to lose the time that this chance? would in volve. The bill was then placed noon its passage and passed by a vote of to 2). Fifteen of the votes against it were Lernocratlc. The vote was as follows: Ayes Babcock. Barlow, Berry. Blanken ship. Brown.

The voting machine recelveel official recognition last evening when th House passed the O'Bannon bill, permitting the use of the machines. Mr. O'Bannon calleel the bill up when his name was called In the roll call now in progress, and It was passed with but live dissenting votes. The bill does not mention any one machine, and haves the matter of employing them to the tliscrctlon of county commissioner after a proper test of the machines. The bill has a companion measure standing for third reading In the Senate, a part of O'Bannon's object in this bill is to in a measure nullify the amendments made to the elec tion law by the caucus election bill. It ill probably be so amended In the Senate as to prevent the possibility of having the name of the same? candidates for the same olllce appear more than once on th face of the machine.

While the. House was pushing through a mass of committee reports yesterday afternoon a radical bill raising state taxes 4 cents on the 100 dollars slipped .through without anybody knowing what It was. This was a House bill by Mr. Gibson, raising the school fund levy from 11 to 13 cents. It has never be en in the hands of the ways and means committee, but was referred to the education committee-. This committee reporttel It favorably and It has thus gilded along with not more than half a dozen members knowing anything about It. Yesterday afle rnoon. while the Heiuso waa very busv, Mr. Williams got through a motion to take up the bill. It was read by title. Everybody voted aye and the bill passed. Another bill that went through in the same way was Mr. Krell's bill providing for the payment of the expenses of the Allen County Commissioners in constructing their now courthouse. It gives them each. THE APPROPRIATION HILL ovv in the Senate, hut Will Likely LI Over n Day Ordered Printed. A message was received by the Senate transmitting the general appropriation bill from the House yesterday afternoon. On motion of Senator Mull, chairman of the finance committee, who will have charge of the bill in the Senate, it was ordered printed. It will be placed on the desks of the senators this morning. Senator Mull said that he did not know just what the programme relative to the bill would be, but that he presumed it would lie over until tomorrow, in order to permit members to have time to consider it fully before being required to take any action relative to it. Benevolent Institutions IHIL The caucus measure for the reorganiza tion of the benevolent instituUon boards and the appointment of nonpartisan boards of three by tho Governor was pushed through to third reading in the House with some little difficulty yetorday afternoonMr. Harris offered a resolution that the measure be taken up. and there was an uproar on the Democratic side. Mr. Elchhorn arose to a point of oreler, but was ruled out by the speaker, who remarked that the motion was in order and could not bo howled elown. Mr. Harris was given the Moor and simply announced that It waa a caucus measure and they were going to pass it. Mr. Roots put In a fc-ebie complaint that there was a special ornr lor tnis nour (insurance bill No. but sat down. A motion to table Mr. Harris's resolution waa defeated on a division vote and the motion to take up the bill was carried by a party vote on roll call. It was advanced to third reading. Cnrhlnjr County Commissioners Senator Nusbaum's bill, regulatlnff tht allowances of money by county authorities, was called up on second reading in tha Houso yesterday morning. It provides that claims shall be allowed only at regular sessions of the commissioners, and Imposes heavy penalties upon auditors Issuing warrants for claims not regularly allowed by the commissioners. Mr. Ross spoke for the bill as It stood. Various amendments were offered and regularly voted down. Mr. Rlfenberg moved to strike out Section 4, requiring that all claims shall be filed with the auditor rive days lefore the session. This is one of Uie most vital sections of the bill, and the amendment was stricken down by a heavy vote, after Messrs. Hart and Elchhorn had opposed It. The bill escaped to third reading without amendment, Mr. Hubbard's Vote. The Journal made an error In th roll call on the Governor's veto published yesterday. Mr. Hubbard voted to sustain the Governor. Ilonst Bill r-0. To th Editor of th Indianapolis Journal: I note an article In the Indianapolis News of Tuesday, written by C. S. Crarpr, stating that afte r the friends of Roots a House Bill C20 had secured the indorsement of a number of the leading Insurance men in this city, the bill nad been soamended as to give two or three companies a monopoly of the business and prevent the organization of other companies. Answering this. I wish to say, in behalf of tiie home Companies of the State of Indiana, that they have Indorsee! this bill and are perfectly satisfled with the amendments made in the House Tuesday afternoon, and the amendments were made at the reque-fct of the home companies and for their benefit, and that Mr. Crary has written his artlclu In the interest of eiid-llne companies, or he has misunderstood the bill. The best positive proof that he is wrong is in the fact that Representative East, after thoroughly examining the bill, made a sjH-ech Tuesday afternoon In the House In favor of the pussaire of House Rill IZ-i as amended. House bill No. was very carefully prepared, and is copied from the Illinois and New York laws. It will be one of the best laws for home companies that has ever been passed, and It is Indorsed by all of the home companies with the amendments. Many of the members of the Houso are receiving letters from policy holders helonging to borne cempenleH In Indiana reeiuestlng them to vote for House bill No. j20. W. K. UELLI3.
