GoverribrSliallonbergor yosterdny irtfternoonstgiied tho bills recently passed by .th'o-leglBlaturo legalizing seven departments Iji'thb university, and appropriating 95 per' cent ol the one-mill levy fund for tho Immediate use. of the state school. In neither jcnse had thero been doubt of his ac tion, his approval being generally ex pected. Tho house bill for tho establishment of seven colleges In tho university, which "was concurred In by the senate. was Introduced by Representative Ko tpuc, a recent graduate of tho univer sity. It provides for the following col leges; College of Literature, Science nud Arts; College of Engineering; Col lege of Agriculture; College of Law; College of Medlclno; Graduate Col--lege; Teachers' College. Tho In dustrial college Is abolished. It is understood that In enforcing tho provisions of tho measure tho uni versity regents will retain as heads of the collegesf the deans now so appoint ed and that the associate deans of tho industrial college will now become full Cleans In their respective departments. "TJean-Besserof-tho-Industrial-collcger will become chairman of the board of leans, but ho will not act as the exec utive head of any of tho seven col leges. Up Against It. The Carnegie pension bill, whlcl! was expected to come before the house for consideration yesterday, did nol make an appearance. The chairman of the committee to which It waB re ferred was not present and tho bill was therefore not reported. .Much speculation was rlfo yesterday as to what fate awaits tho measure since tho action of the committee Wednes day night In .the. meeting Wednesday the bill was, recommended for Indefinite post ponement by a vote of six to one; nil. the democratic .committeemen and one of the republicans opposing it. tTwo republicans wore absent, one of. them being in favor of the bill alnd one piV posed. When thes bill Ms thus reported to the'hbifs'o by the ,conTinItteot. that - body will have to rojeqt the commit-' tee repjort in-order -.to put the matter; on general file. If thlBjhouldf bg done the bill will hayo. to, go at tho bot tom of the 'file, "vvhlch means, that it will have, to run 'lie gauntlet of the ' sifting dpmmltteo before It .can be debated on tho house floor. The sifting commltteo is over whelmingly democratic and, inasmuch as the bill has been made the. object to a rather considerable extent of a pary llnp-up, the measure .""will probab lyhave a hard tlmo securlpg' a place among the bills choBen for, further consideration by the liousp, If the. t house should show a 'detbrhilnatlqn ' to consider the' "Ul, the sifting com mittee of coursopuld have to bo re-. port it, but it is nevertheless true that every adverse committee report, harms tho measure.

Junior-Senior Intcrc lass Kebatc Tonight, Memorial commltteo report will, however, show how tho house members propose lin ing up on tho prbp&sltlon. If the vote is adverse, tho bill is killed at onco. If it is favorable to further con sideration, the measure still has sever al chances of success. Roast the Graduates. Several members of Jho lower houso yesterday afternoon took advantage of the consideration of Houso Roll No. 3&5 to tnko a few whacks at the state university and Us graduates. Tho bill in question is one appropriating $1-20,000 to establish and maintain in a score of high schools over tho state Instruction in agriculture, domestic science, and manual. training. It pro vides for the employment of two In structors to teach these s'ubjects in each school which shall furnish suit able rooms and;grounds for oxperl'-. montal work. A board of control 1b authorized to select from fifteen to twenty high schools, each to receive $3,000 yearly for use in the courses. The house was considering the bill In committee of tho whole .and all was moving along in a safe and sane man ner when the match was touched to the antl-universlty magazine. Digress ing from tho matter under considera tion several legislators gave volco to dark hints of suspicion concerning the management of the university and concerning tho character of its gradu ates. Among other things it" was in directly charged that the "million and a quarter appropriated to the state school is not fairly apportioned be tween that part of the establishment sending out educated farhiors and the soctlon which sends out doctors, law yers, and editors." Graduates Quack Doctors. Representatives Taylor of Custer, Grlfiln of Purt, and Boots of Merrick woro among tho men who discussed tho question. None of them seemed particularly lmj)ressedwlth the worth of the"doctors, editors," and lawyers" graduated from the university and all seemed Imbued with tho Idea that these .classes were the sole product of tho school. "For myself, I believe that this state should spend its moneylri educating farmers, rather than in putting finish ing touches on quack doctors," was The statement of one speaker. Boetfl, of Merrick, was especially aroused over tho proposition althougli his views on tho matter werendt bo very clear. Ho was rqpeatedbl Interrupted by. laughter and by breaches of xrder on the' part of f o'lipw legislators. "! am a haysecid, I know' said Repr reBpntatlvd . Bogta.
