WOE Att THE CAPITAL nally Be Moved to Sedalia. Both Houses Resolve to Submit the | Point to the People.—Jetfersonians, Unlike Other Ye Napping. Year. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 20.— Never before in the history of any assembly of the Legislature was there a piece of as clear cut railroad- ing transacted es was practiced by the House and Senate today. A concurrent resolution to subwit to the people of the State at the elec- tion in 1896 the proposition to move the Capitol from Jefferson City to Sedalia passed both bodies. This all happened in about six hours, al- though scarcely half a dozen mem bers knew anything of the move before taking their seats for the morning session. In spite of the arguments that the importance of the measure demanded time for con sideration and that it was nothing more nor less than a Sedalia estate scheme, the members of the entire assembly were stampeded and adopted the resolution by a vote of 91 to 40 in the House and 26 to 7 in tbe Senate. Tonight the mem bers are wondering how it all hap pened and few of the House mem bers at Jeast realize the importance of the scheme that they by their votes authorized to day. It is claimed by many that the whole affair was brought up merely to boom real estate iu Sedalia, and should the amendment to the cou stitution provided by the resolution be carried, the Capitol building will never be built, but that the good Sedalian will unload a profitable real estate deal only to see the investor hold the bag. real rs, Were Canght | Will be Voted on Next} | called for that purpose. by the Coun. ty court, and conducted generally in Missouri’s Headquarters May Fi-|the manner proyided by law for} panes of bands for the erecti -n of e urt houses.

The State shall in no manner become liable for, nor shall it pay avy part whatever of the cost of the new public buildings herein provid- ed for, and the county before men- tioned shall pay the entire cost of moving the records and personal property of the State to the new public buildings, so that the State shall be at no expense whatever in the change of the seat of govern- ment. Little was thought of the matter until Bothwell introduced the resolution, first get ting the This suspension of the rules called for immediate action and did not allow ir to be referred to a committee He supported the measure iu @ long speech, telling of the superiority of Sedalia over Jefferson City in the line of railroad facilities, location, electric cars and other public im- provements. He was followed by Crisp, who spoke much after the of Sedalia arose and rules suspended. On the other hand the friends of the measure are loud in their denial of any such motives, and insist the provisions of the resolution will be carried out to the letter. Each member of the House when he sought his desk this morning fount: before hima joint and concurrent resolution, of which this is the copy: Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concur ring therein, as follows: At the general election to be held on the Tuesday next following the first Monday in November, A D 1896, an amendment to the consti tution of Missouri shall be submitted to the qualified voters of the State in the following worde: The seat of government shall be removed from the City of Jefferson and located at the city of Sedalia Any person or persons may grant and donate to the State any land, sum of money or other thing of yal ue to be used for the purpose of erecting the necessary public build- ings atthe city of Sedalia, or may deposit with the Governor sufficient securities or obligations to guaran tee the erection of such buildings. Whenever a suitable capitol build- ing, having the same or greater floor area and appointments as the pres ent Capitol and Supreme Court buildings, and equal thereto in sta bility and architectural merit, to gether with grounds of the same or greater area, and an armory building likewise, similar or superior to the present armory, and an executive mansion likewise similar or superior to the present building used as the Governor's residence, together with the grounds and appurtenances, shall be erected at the city of Sedalia, the same shall be accepted by a! commission consisting of the Gov ernor, Secretary of State, auditor, treasurer and attorney general, and such officers shall at once remove the public records and personal property to such new public build icgs and the city of Sedalia shall thereupon become the permanent seat of government. The plans and location of the capitol, armory and executive mansion and grounds shall! jand dried in the Senate. manuer of his predecessor. His reference to Tubbs in speaking of Osage county as a place of cyclones which the people sometimes send to the Legislature brought the worthy doctor to his feet. He opposed the resolution. Answering Crisp’s shot he likened the Jackson county mem ber to the animal of which he had read which went around covered with a lion’s skin. This animal made all sorts of unusual noises that scared nobody, for the lion’s skin was only a jackass. Avery also tried to head off the stampede. It was no use, however, and the previous question was order- ed and the resolution adopted by the vote already stated. The little town of Jefferson City was all excitement at the noon hour. Its people, unlike other years, had been caught napping. Heretofore they have been able to defeat meas- ures of this nature, as they had bad warning of their coming. This time no one knew of the advance of the enemy, and as a consequence Jeffer- sonians to-night are wondering “where they are at” The word bad} gone out that everything was cut ‘This prov- ed to be the case Senator Yeater the resolution. measure tried by all possible means to stem the flood.
