Or., Jan. 25.— Joscphi’a hill to reform tho system of management of the state insane asylum, putting tire institution in tho hands of four trustees appointed hy and to act with the gov ernor, was passed by the senate this afternoon by a vote of 21 to 6, after a debate of an hour and a half. By a still larger vote. Driver's hill authoriz ing couutv oourls to employ county prisoners on public roads was passed. The defeat of Mulkey’s resolution to lim it the introduction of bills to the 25th day of the session and an in timation thut the matter of the Loewen berg contract at the state penitentiary would he reopened were interesting incidents of the senute proceedings. In the house, six bills wero passed, including one carrying an appropria tion of $25,000 for building and operat ing salmon hatcheries, and a bill *o appropriate $35,0000 for buying and operating tire tlax m ill at tire peniten tiary was introduced. Other bills pitBsed were Stillman's hills legalizing marriages contracted witirin tho six months’ limit, and amending the code relative to actions for recovery of personal property so that the defendant, where property is claimed by a third party, may surren der the sume into the custody of the court; the Ross b ill to abolish private seals, and Morton’s bill to ouro defects in deeds heretofore made. Many bills were put through formal readings in both houses. This has been by far the busiest day of the session, and a great amount of work Iras been accomplished. Considerably out of the usual order was the proposition of John H. Albert to exchange nil eligible full block of land udjoitiing tho prusent blind school for the state’s former site of the blind Bchool, now occupied by the Ha lour hos pital, so he might present the property to the hospital, nnd the state would nt the same time get more room for the ncoinmodntion of the blind. The peti tion went to the printer under the rulos. The property is estimated to be worth $1,750.
