Tho resolution whs adopted. A message w is received from tho governor announcing that ho had vetoed tho bill which provide for a metropolitan lo!irrt force tor the city of Torre Haute, on the grounds that th- legislature ha I not the power to deprive the peoplo uf the. rtht to Fc!ct tluir own rulers or ofl'iccr.

Shortly after the committee had arisen Mr. ttyrd moved that Mr. bcyd be appointed as ao additional member of the committee. The point was thereupon raised by Mr. Shockney that as the f.e and salary bill was in the ban. la of the committr-e of the whole and not the eennte, this motion was out of order.

Passing BUI and CoiinMe-tng: th General Apprnprintiuu. Monday morning Speaker Niblaek took his chair at 0 o'clock as usual, but there were not more than twenty members in the hall. He had to wait patiently for an hour before calling the house to order. Even then a quorum was not present, but as no roll call was ordered the absence of a quorum was not officially known. After Senator IIoTcomb's bill providing tor the transfer of irsane convicts from prisons to ins me hospitals had been advanced to a third reading, the house resolved itself into committee of the whole, with Mr. No an in the chair, to consider the general appropriation hill. When the committee rose last Saturday Mr. Curtis' amendment to allow the Central hospital for an electric light piant $11,000, for ft laundry $l0,y, and for a tunnel between the two buildings 7,000, was pending. Consideration of the Curtia amendment was resumed as unfinished business. Mr. Cnrtia scain made a'i ca nest argument in favor ci his amendment. lie, p.iid ihat agents of tie Indianapolis il uti.innting pa company of this city had lobbied all day Sunday to defeat the amer.dnent in order to retain a contract for illuminating the Central hospital. Mr. Beasley wa in favor of electric lijrht for the Central hospital whether the lobby was ngiinst it or not. lie had offered an amendment to the Curtis amendment to cut the amount down to S:JO,0uj in poo l faith, but if the committee (hou-) thought that it was not enough they could vote it down. He bad confidence in the trustees of the institution an 1 no matter how much was appropriated he was eatibficd that no more titan was absolutely necespary would be expended. As a compromii-e, Mr. Gent oflVred a substitute fixing the amount at Sj.OOO. Mr. Curtis accepted the Gent substitute and the a mendment as amended was then adopted.

"In spite of the ftate peolorit," said he, "we have found natural pHsandthe lc?-t buiilinr etone in the world. 1 he slate jreolojist is always tho last man tofn.d out anything of this kind." . An amendment by Mr. liobbin?, appro pria ing $S0-i for J.

During the term of his otlice he had drawn from th na ional government over S7o,OOO worth of arms, etc., which he distributed among the companies belonging to the militia of the ttate. Sir.

Shepherd a great wrong, Mr. Moon offered an amendment appropriatire $i,v.'.j.'Ji for equipping the southern hospitil for th in.un and for the buil bii of sowers, grading road, etc. lie explained that txjili the ttenate and house committees had recommended the appropriation; th it a bill appropriating thu money had alr--aly parsed tht house, but if the ati.endmeut was adopted it would I e withdrawn.

'Farmer" Ilarrcll opposed it because the law regulated the distribution of tbe the journals, and it could not be changed by a eimple resolution. "Farmer" Fippen thought the boupo could do what it pleased with its documents. The cost of supplying the farmers with journals would not amount to aa much as the cost to tho f-tato of tho whli-ky and wino and mea's consumed at Chicago by the world's fair commissioners. Any m?mbcr, raid he, who opposed this resolution acknowledged that be wns afraid of iiia rerorJ. Mr. Farlow said the peoplo had a rieht to know bow their ropresen'atives vote 1.

He moved to expunpe from the journal th record shownnrthe adojtion of the resolution. Tbe ppeakor ruled it out of order. Mr. Kil .re's bid appropriating $"),000 for the current expenses of the northern hospi'al came up for consideration, but Mr. Short raised the point of order ou it that the same appropriation was contained in the cencral appropriation bill. The bill was then dropped. Senator Hay's bill .amending the decedents' eetate passed without opposition because no ouo eeemed to kuow anything about it.

on the part of th republicans to tin e!ie"t that the n'rendmcnta were dead. No further action on the subject was taken.

Mr. l.V.bbh.s' bill woa evidently not uinlerto..l, for it ariienil'l tfio law ns tf t:'.k away tho appropriation from tho control of the univemity nnd eave it to tin Miunth'. Mr. Moss, "a farmer wfio fanner;'," opjiosed the bill because farmer' itistittitt-i were not attended by praciical farmers. JtEPIirSENTATIVE MOSS. The real genuine, timon pure old hnyeeeJt are ttppotrd fo farmer intiituti." He said that the real genuine simon pure old hayseeds did not want fanners' institutes. They were attended only by ''bonk farmers," and the money appropriated two years ago bad been wasted on dude fanners. Mr. IJicgler was in favor of eountv farmers' institutes. He had attended one in Fort Wayne, and it had proved to be a trreat surc -ss. He was a plain farmer himself, but be favored tbe education of the agricultural chsa. Mr. Kelley, as an aprieulturif-t. opposed appropriations for farmers' institutes. The fanners did not want th?nn. Tne $5,000 appropriated for county institutes had not brneOted the farmers. It was just so much money ftolen out of the ttate treasury because tha bill had passed without due consideration. Farmer Keileher, the gentleman from Clinton, the first Irishman elected tooflice in that county, was decidedly opposed to farmers' institutes conducted by Purdue university dudes. The men who bad conduct d thee institutes during the last two years had never walked between plow handles. They did not know which end of the plow to bitch a ti'arn. The I'urdne university gentlemen had no practical knowledo of farming. REPRESENTATIVE KELI.E1IF.R ' "I g.'ve us farmert that farm to trah vt oi l m&?sacl4 how to icork." Mr. Itobbins, discovering that the farmers did not want bis bill to pas, withdrew his motion to reconsider tbe vote by which the bill was do eatod. Tbe railroads then received some attention. Mr. Gent had bis bill enpros-ed prohibiting railr-ai from making over charges where bill of iadiug specifies the rate of freight. Mr. Cullop'a turn camo next and ho hsd his two-cent a-milo railroad faro bdl considered. Mr. Cullop showed that Michigin, Ohio, "Sew York and many other states bad passed laws limiting railroad faro to 2 cents a mile. Nebraska lait week passsed such a bill. The letter postage ha 1 been reduced to 2 cents and it ha l worked welt. It would be thu same iu tbi case. There wou'd ba more traveling. Mr. Gent said that if the railroads could sell thousand-mile tickets to buiiifs men for 2 cenu a mile they could do the same thing, for tho farmers. Although tbe majority report wns against the bill the ru'es were suspended upon motion of Mr. (jlessner and the bill passed. Messrs. Itrown ot Steuben, Carroll, (i nthrie, Horlam, Oldham, Oppenheini, Teat and Wilgoa casting tho ouly negative voles. Mr. Kyie's bill amending the election law passed without opposition. It re-enacts part of the registration section which the supreme court knocked out last October.
